(Just wanted to let you people know that, instead of Jon's father being the other person on the couch, it will be his sister Zoe. Trying to keep with the rest of the Branches where it is only: Jon, Linda, Zoe and little brother Mikey.)
"Exposure to the golden rays of the sun make women pregnant," explained the reporter, who was safe inside a studio. "Our reporters have confirmed this through ... firsthand experience."
A blond reporter with a microphone appeared on the screen beneath the words "Earlier This Morning". She pointed up at the golden sun with her free hand. Her skin appeared to be gold-ish color, but that was because of the unusual light. She was in the middle of introducing herself when she suddenly froze, a look of shock and fear spread over her face as her body began to tremble as if she was struggling to hold in some great pain. Suddenly her belly heaved under her white button up blouse, causing the shirt to tent out and strain the lower buttons. The reporter dropped the microphone as she pressed her hands against her now bloated looking belly as a pained expression now filled her face.
Sweat began to appear on her forehead as she closed her eyes tight and let out a pained moan through her clenched teeth. Her belly then swelled once more--about three inches--straining the fabric of the blouse and a few buttons popped off, allowing the lower half of the blouse to open and exposed a bulging belly. The growth stopped with a jolt, causing the woman to pant as she arched her back to balance the weight so she could stay on her feet; after a few seconds of nearly falling on her rear she kicked off her high heels. The woman slowly began to rub her hands over her once slim and trim waist, now massive belly--looking like she was five month's pregnant-- when she suddenly let out a gasp and her hands flew to her hips and rear.
Her knee-length black skirt appeared to be stretching and rising up her thighs as her hips widened into child bearing ones and her rear plumped up. While that was happening, her breasts started to inflate, straining against her bra; the shoulder straps apparently digging into her shoulders, if the pained look on her face was anything to go by. The buttons on the upper part of the blouse were beginning to strain as well, until with a loud 'SNAP!' and a few pops, the bra strap gave way and the two top buttons were sent zinging away, allowing a generous view of D cup cleavage.
The female reporter just stood there in shock, staring down at her curvier body; her wider hips, rounded and bubbly rear, and enormous teardrop breasts. She was just raising her hands to cup her bigger breasts, when she let out another pained moan as he belly surged out again, well beyond the size of nine month's pregnancy. Her skirt's--with the addition of the strain from the wider hips and plumper rear-- waistline snapped, sending the now ripped skirt sliding down her legs till it stopped at her knees; her legs are now spread wide to accommodate her pregnant belly. She stared down at her huge belly in confusion when her belly seemed to jump--in two places.
She slowly placed shaking hands on either side of her belly and nearly jumped as she felt her belly give two jolts. The look of confusion on her face turned to shock, then to wonder and then to one of pure joy. She arched her back a bit more and slowly began rubbing circles over her stretched and smooth skin--except for an inverted bellybutton-- as she began whispering loving and calming things to her new twins, her babies.
She then looked up to someone behind the camera and, still smiling but with a tired look in her eyes--her legs were trembling in exhaustion--said something that couldn't be heard. One of the tech crew came into view and slowly, but carefully assisted the expecting mother of twins toward the news van; the camera following the entire time. Once the camera was completely turned around it showed one of the young female tech's already sitting in the Van in the opened sliding door, resting her hands on a smaller, nine month pregnant belly; tears of happiness and joy sliding down her cheeks as she smiled up at the female reporter who then joined in with her own tears.
The view on the screen then went back to the reporter in the news room, "As you can see, reporter Cassandra Harris is now the proud mother of twin girls and assistant Denise Mathews is now the proud mother of a baby boy..."
"What are we going to do?" asked Jon's fifteen year old sister Zoe. "We can't hide in here forever. We need food, among other things. There's enough in the refrigerator to last us ..." Zoe looked at her mom questioningly.
"One day," stated Linda. "I was supposed to go shopping today! But if I leave, I'll ... change ..."
Jon ran up the stairs back to his bedroom. If the stone somehow changed the world, maybe it can change it back! he thought.
