The first change that Jake noticed was his hair all over turning to black. He was happy to see he kept his hirsuteness as expected, in fact his coat was looking even thicker. Then his skin darkened, though being mixed race, his skin was only a few shades lighter than Ravi's. He looked at his hand as the dark hairs almost blended in with his skin, but were still noticeable. Jake's hand looked a tad thicker too. The muscle on his body was softening into pillowy fat of the same weight. Jake expected that he might loose some definition without Joseph's nurturing, but he didn't expect to grow bigger than Ravi. He shrunk a foot to match his new father's height, but kept the same weight which only made him appear rounder.
Though his room only appeared taller because of his new perceptive, there were real changes. Academic awards covered his walls, along with pictures of him and Ravi on vacation in India. Even the computer he ran the chronviac on became a state of the art laptop. His clothes changed into brown leather shoes, khaki slacks, a brown leather belt, and a blue button up shirt. Everything he wore felt comfortable and specially tailored to his body, with extra room in the seat of his slacks for his wide rear, and his shirt clinging to his full breasts and inflated abdomen. The top button of his collared shirt, however, popped off against the pressure of his chest hair. A pair of golden garamond glasses appeared of his face. His facial hair was finely trimmed into a thick, straight, mustache which covered his upper lip, and a large, round beard that trailed up to the hair on his head, which became a neat comb-over.
Jake was impressed with how much Ravi's genetics had influence him. He then heard a knock on his door, followed by Ravi calling out to him, "Jaya". Jake recognized this as an Indian name his father would call him around the house in this new reality. Jake minimized the chronviac program on his laptop and opened his door to Ravi. His eyes widened as he saw that his new father was as large as he was. It made sense, without the influence of Jamal's mother, both men in the house had let themselves go. Ravi embraced Jake in a bearish hug and greeted, "Hello, my son." The hug was so tight that the pair's stomachs and fat pecks were squishing into each other. The pillow like softness of Jake's new father felt comfortable and oddly familiar, and he returned the hug with his meaty palms wrapped around Ravi's back.
"Hello, Papa" Jake responded as the pair let go.
"You have been on your computer all day, Jaya" Ravi chuckled, "If you stay here too long you will starve. Come downstairs, your mother will have made dinner soon."
"You're not one to talk about being on the computer all day" Jake smirked, "And I don't think starving will be an issue" Jake rubbed his own stomach, "I'll come down soon, I just want to skype Jamal quick."
"Very well." Ravi nodded. He made his way back downstairs while rubbing his own stomach. Jake closed the door and went back to his computer. He couldn't wait to see how Jamal changed and made a video call.
"How are ya, Jayant?" Jamal answered. Jake recognized this as Jamal's nickname for him in this world, a combination of "Jaya" and "giant". Jake adjusted his glasses to make sure he was seeing clearly. The combination of Jamal's mother and Joseph's nurturing had made Jamal bigger than Jake had ever been in previous realities. The now bald body builder was sitting at his computer, shirtless, displaying his massively defined "V" shaped torso. A curly fro of hair covered his solid pectorals and trailed down to his atheletic shorts. He still maintained his African feathers, though Joseph's genes had lightened Jamal's skin.
"I may be giant" Jake chuckled at his friend's teasing, "But you, my friend, are massive!"
"Dad's been training me at the gym" Jamal grinned proudly "Maybe if I work hard enough my arms will flex as strong as your brain."
"What can I say? Engineering's in the family." Jake caught himself say, "Anyways, I need to head downstairs for dinner."
"Shit, get your mom to cook for me some time. I need to work on my gains!" Jamal said as Jake ended the call. Jake
