Amy was devastated by what transpired in a short amount of time. She was normal until an hour ago, and now she shared her mother's condition. More tears were fallen from her eyes and as she wiped it with her hands, the idea of a bath would help reverse the situation.
She waited for a bit to calm down and thought of a plan to go to the tub, but there were 2 big problems that needed solving. First was the stairs, which were impossible to climb without two extra limbs below the waist.
Now the second issue was the obvious elephant in the room. Or in this case, fish in the room and that was her fishtail that had replaced her legs, and now it was gently flapping in the floor uselessly.
“ So double life it is. At least mom will understand more than ever now that we share the same condition. Now if I can't go up then the next best must be … Oh, no, this going to take forever… “
To the porch in the backyard where the hose was located to take a bath. She flipped over to her belly with her hands holding her up. Now with all her strength and willpower she tried to crawl towards the living room which led to the glass sliding door of the porch. It was much more difficult that she was expecting to be. After a few failed attempts to move more than a few inches of the kitchen. Not she was used to crawling but the fact that her enlarged breasts didn't help her at all. So the improvisation begun and after a few minutes she came with the idea to use of her arms she lifted herself up and brought her tail forwards. She was moving like seal on the beach. Not that was a bad way to move around in her situation but at least she lightened her mood at a little.
After moving out of the kitchen at last she reached the living where she saw the throws dangling from the arm of the sofa and that's when it hit her. This could help her dry herself after the bath with the hose. She reached out and grabbed it with her left arm.
“ Now we are talking, and I can already see the glass door. Come on Amy you can do it. “
She was exhausted, tired and all sweaty. With a bit more wishful thinking, she started moving again and made it to the glass door and opened it. She rested there outside with the cold night breeze, and instinctively, she removed her t-shirt which was drenched in sweat, leaving her completely naked. She breathed the night air for a while and turned around to the left and spotted the faucet and the hose beside it. Smiling for ear to ear she threw away the sofa throws away landing almost perfectly below the faucet. Now a few feet away she dragged herself towards there and put away the throws so that they wouldn't get wet for now and opened the faucet and splashed in the face with water. After connecting the hose with the faucet, she bathed herself in the cold waters and rested there for a while.
