It didn't take long for Bobby to confirm what had happened. He checked with both Ashley and Mandy and each time he wished them three months older, their bellies grew bigger. Quite understandably, this alarmed them all quite a bit. The women sat on the couch in the living room, rubbing their rounded bellies absently while looking rather worried. The men paced back and forth as they tried to think. None of them were prepared to becoming parents. Most of them were actually too young to have even known where babies come from. And clearly the Ring of Youth could not undo what has happened so their options were limited now.
Bobby was almost frantic with worry. He had knocked up a 5 year old girl 15 years in advance and had caused two other girls to be in the same situation, with the other fathers being only half the age they appeared to be now. He was pretty certain that would be enough to send him to jail, even if there was no way to prove it was magic or not. There had to be some way to fix this. Bobby passed by a table for what must have been the 12th time before he noticed a folded paper on it. He was pretty certain it hadn't been there before. Curious, he opened it and read it:
'Bobby
If you're reading this, that means you've gotten careless with the Rings. While in a time-altered state, you've managed to impregnate a woman, most likely the two I saw you with in my shop. I know what their true ages are. I can't say that I would have told you not to keep your hands off of them, but I would have hoped you'd have taken precautions. Anyways, as I'm sure you've noticed by now, once impregnated, a woman can't be youthened. Unless you're willing to wait for the baby to come to term on its own (unlikely I should think), the only way to make the woman younger is to have the child be fully gestated and born. This process can be wished for to be done smoothly and painlessly, after which, the mother can be made younger. But be warned, children who have been conceived by the powers of the Rings of Ages will not be born normal humans. I could tell you what you've created, but I think you should find out on your own. Next time, take precautions for unwanted pregnancies, the Rings can help with that.
Merlin'
Bobby sighed. He might have known that the Rings would cause something like this to happen. Quite clearly, he had only one choice. The offspring could be dealt with later. If the girls couldn't be turned back, he'd be in too much trouble. He rubbed the Ring of Age and said slowly to not get any words wrong, "I wish that Jennifer, Ashley, and Mandy's babies would age until they're ready to be born and for the process to be smooth, painless, and do no harm to mother or child." The three women gasped as their stomachs started tingling. Everyone watched as their bellies grew rounder and rounder, the infants inside going through the whole gestation process. They also noticed that their breasts were starting to leak milk. Bobby guessed that was a necessary part of the magic. As they entered what must have been their ninth month of pregnancy, each of the men crouched in front of their respective partner. Soon enough, the fathers will be catching their newborn children. The only question was what kind of infants will emerge?
