Karyn signaled the driver to head for the hospital. The driver gave a knowing nod and ignored the irrational ranting coming from the extremely pregnant bride in back. He knew from experience how crazy women get during labor.
"What the hell did you just do!? Look at me, I'm huge! Give me the stone back, I'm going to ..."
"Jon! Jon! Look at me! Jon!" Sighing Karyn ignored Jon's non-stop rant and called out, "Jon Start Your Labor".
"This isn't funny anymore, give me back the stone. I want ....AAHHHh..."
"Just breathe. You're fine. This is all normal. It will pass in a moment."
"...AAAhhh... shit! Normal hell! That hurt!"
Pulling up to the hospital, Jon was helped into a wheel chair and rolled inside. Strangely everyone began talking as if he wasn't there or was a small child that couldn't understand.
"How far apart are her contractions?"
"When did she start?"
"How long are they lasting?"
"And on and on ..."
The doctor continued this bizarre behavior by telling Karyn that everything was fine, the labor was progressing normally but quickly and that his best guess was about five hours to go. Whereupon the doctor just left.
"Five hours! Five hours! I'm not ...Oooohhhh.....shiiitt...."
"Yes you are, stop whining. We need to take this carefully. It's perfectly normal, consider this a learning experience."
"You aren't seriously considering making me ... AAAHHHHHHHHoooooooeeeeee..."
"Deliver? Yes I am. It's the safest and surest mechanism to get Emily back. We can't..."
Karyn had to pause while Jon went through another contraction. They were coming noticeably more often and lasting longer and longer.
"I refuse to do this. I ...aaaahhhhhhhaaahhhheeeeee..."
"I'm sorry about this Jon, but you really have no choice."
For a little over four hours this conversation attempted to repeat itself. Toward the end Jon could only pant briefly before being racked with another interminable contraction. Finally with the doctor once more in attendance, Jon responded to the doctor's demand to push!
"It's a girl!"
A semi-conscious Jon found himself holding a tiny baby as it suckled his swollen breast.
When the doctors and nurses left the new parents alone with their newborn for a little bit. Karyn pulled out the stone and said:
"I wish that Emily was 18 years old and remembered everything from our previous life."
A brief flash and a fully grown and completely nude Emily was lying on Jon with her mouth on Jon's still engorged breast.
"What the hell?", Emily said pulling away.
"Do you know who you are", Karyn called out? "It's me Karyn, and that's Jon you're lying on."
"Karyn? What happened? The last thing I remember was wishing for a wedding. Now I'm nude, you're a guy and Jon's a bedraggled woman.
"I'll explain everything after we undo this mess. You need wish us back to our previous life."
Emily wished they would return to their previous life and poof they were back in Jon's house just as they'd left it. Everything was the same, Emily once more held the stone and Jon was still a she wearing nothing but bridal body paint and a wedding veil.
Shushing Jon's complaints, Karyn explained the entire episode to Emily in detail:
"... so Jon just kept complaining non-stop until I just called out -- Jon Start Your Labor -- which pretty much stopped ...."
Karyn's monolog was interrupted by a shriek from Jon.
