Ethan smirked, studying Charlene carefully as this newest reality filtered into his mind.
At 35 years old, Charlene was a very attractive woman who also happened to be Ethans coworker. Brilliant, friendly, and flirty, Charlene had risen through the ranks of the company, becoming one of its standout employees. Ethan recalled how the pair often worked on high priority projects, their superiors quite happy with the results the pair produced.
Charlene was also a young widow Jerry and Chris's father having passed away in a tragic accident shortly after Jerry's birth (or rebirth depending how one viewed what Ethan had accomplished thus far). Ethan's memories showed that while Charlene had not yet dived back into the dating pool, she had put out signals that she was interested in Ethan.
This was how Ethan now found himself parking outside Charlene's home the following morning. The official reason was work related, however, Ethan was looking to try and pursue a romantic relationship with the young mother. Exiting his car with coffee in hand, Ethan now rang her doorbell, listening to the telltale sounds of young children giggling inside the house. Opening door, Ethan now beheld Charlene. The woman sportinga warm smile, despite still being in her pajamas.
"Ethan what a pleasant surprise," she smiled. "What brings you here this early?"
Ethan grinned, studying the woman carefully. Charlene had yet to do her hair, her think blond locks cascading past her shoulders. Dressed in a robe and slippers, Ethan noticed the womans ample cleavage as well as her toned and gorgeous legs. Charlene was always a warm presence, her smile lighting up a room when she entered. Despite some small laugh lines around her eyes, Charlene looked like she wasn't a day over 30.
"Was hoping to review the latest results on our project Charlene," Ethan smiled. "Hope you don't mind me dropping by."
"Of course not come in," Charlene stated, grabbing Ethans hand as she dragged him inside. As Ethan now stepped into her home, he gazed at the four children he had created last night.
Jerry and Alyssa now sat on the floor, the toddlers snacking on cereal as they gazed intently at the t.v. Ethan was astounded by the pair, before he had used the program Jerry was a towering, muscled individual while Alyssa was an auburn haired bombshell. Now the duo were reduced to a tiny red-haired girl in pigtails with her equally small blond haired boyfriend. Ethan stifled a laugh as he gazedcat the pair. Apparently the two were still in the process of potty training, dressed only in tshirts with training pants, their chubby legs and barefoot extended outwards as they shoveled their snacks into their mouths.
Lola and Chris weren't better off, the slightly older children dressed in colorful pj's but spared the embarrassment of training pants. The one time supervisor and child psychologist now adorned in toddler attire, the children so small that they easily fit onto a single cushion of the couch. Their tiny, chubby barefeet not even hanging off the couch.
"Ethsn can you watch the kids for a moment," Charlene called. "I just need to grab my notes."
"No problem Charlene," Ethan replied. "Are the kids going to preschool today?"
"No not today," Charlene sighed. "These four only go three times a week. Can't wait for them to go to kindergarten. It will make things a bit easier once their old enough to go to school full time."
Ethan nodded, amazed he had reduced these four adults to children so young they couldn't even attend school on a full time basis. Still, seeing his once intimidating boss reduced to a potty training toddler did bring a smile to Ethans face.
"Just make yourself at home Ethan," Charlene called. "I'll only be a minute." Ethan nodded, taking a seat as he gazed at the four grown down adults. As Charlene now gathered her notes, Ethan took out his laptops.
The first laptop was for work, Ethan had brought it in case he wished to take care of any work he and Charlene were doing. The second was running the program, Ethan rubbing his chin as he gazed at the kidd. He had already had made significant changes to Jerry and the others. Was he willing to make anymore?
