"Alright, enough is enough. I love you girls dearly but I'm going to fix this. I wish...." Karyn snatched the stone from my hand before I got any further.
"This is serious! We need to think this through carefully and in stages. A careless grand wish to fix everything would be a disaster."
"I know that! I was going to take small steps, not a giant wish."
Karyn crossed his arms across his chest. "What were you going to wish?"
"First I was going to wish I was not pregnant, and then..."
"ARE YOU INSANE!? Just how do you think that would happen, and where would Emily end up?"
"I assume that ..."
"ASSUME, you ASSUMED!?"
"I guess I didn't think. Do you have a better idea?"
Karyn stared at me, looking me up and down as if I was hiding the answer.
"We've got to get Emily back whole and healthy. It's best if the magic used is as little as possible to minimize side effects. I can only come up with one approach." Taking a deep breadth, Karyn said:
"I wish that Jon's pregnancy were to advance to a healthy full term state for both mother and child and that when I say "Jon Start Your Labor", Jon will begin a normal healthy labor leading to the birth of a normal healthy baby."
"WHAT! You can't ... aah ...aah ... make it stop ... holy crap!"
Karyn watched as Jon swelled right there in the car, getting bigger and bigger and bigger. It was awe inspiring.
"What did you do to me?!", Jon wailed.
