Jabez had not been looking for Laban or Steve in particular. He knew Laban had not been invited to the wedding anyway and wasn't necessarily sorry to think he had snuck off without saying goodbye. Steve was so small now as a dolly that he could have been right next to him and he wouldn't have noticed. No, he wandered away from the reception to find a bathroom and get a breath of fresh air after all the drinking he had done. He drank a bottle and a half of wine all by himself trying to calm his nerves over his fears about how Laban or is new in-laws would behave at the increasingly raucous reception.
Jabez was 42 and Laban was 45. Laban being older and bigger, Jabez had always looked up to him. Especially when he because a preacher and seemed so certain and outspoken about everything. But enough was enough and he was glad to get a moment's peace and think about his shrunken dolly son. There was something really weird about that family tradition but something very appealing as well. Would he have been Steve's dolly if that dollhouse had been in their own family? As he used the urinal he felt his penis twitch a couple of times in his hand but tried not to think about it. He said a prayer for peace and strength.
As he wandered around outside the reception he came to a darkened room that had a large shape in the center of it. Stepping closer he realized it was the dollhouse. Of course it must have been here somewhere all along because that's how they shrunk Steve back into being a toy, but he hadn't thought he'd actually see it. It was large. He leaned over to look in the windows and saw the modern appliances and other amenities. So Steve had lived in there for a couple of months. Helpless in the hands of a kid. Handled. Naked.
Suddenly Jabez heard a deep moan coming from somewhere nearby then a voice said, "You wicked boy. You wicked devil." He saw he wasn't alone after all. Laban was sitting on the floor behind the dollhouse, leaned against the wall, doing something in his lap.
What in God's name? It was his big brother playing with himself! But that was a sin!
Oh no, not with himself! As his eyes adjusted he saw it was Steve in his lap. Dolly Steve, small and naked. He was being forced to lick his uncle's pickle. It was as big as he was! For a moment Jabez was dazed. He could not look away.
