Midlife Crisis

Chapter 2
Not As Easy As She Thought

Chapter Description: Susan soon learns that her relationship with her daughter isn't quite the same anymore.

I was glad that my husband was the first one home today. It would have been a problem after all if my daughters came home and saw a strange girl in their home. I had raided through Megan’s old clothes and I found the perfect little outfit; a cute little t-shirt with some smiling Japanese cat on it and a light blue skirt. I was surprised to find that I was actually shorter then my daughter was at age fourteen. Guess it was cause my husband is tall or something like that. Would I still be able to call him my husband I thought? After all, he is about thirty years older then me, much more like a dad then a husband. I looked at myself in the mirror once more. I probably couldn’t get away with dating at my age, let alone marriage. I took a little pink scrunchie and pulled my blonde hair into a ponytail and decided to head down the stairs to greet him. The stairs seemed a little weird at this height and I almost fell down the stairs. I grabbed firmly onto the railing and decided to go down the stairs very slowly, till I got the hang of it at this age. The door opened and my husband Richard walked in. I ordinarily had to look up at him, but now he seemed so much taller.

“Oh, hello there. Are you one of Megan’s friends?” he asked me. Well, I do like I could be one of Megan’s friends. Men are so terrible at guessing women’s ages through, after all, Megan was now two years older then me.

“Uh, sweetie. It’s me Susan,” I said blushing a bit.

“Susan,” he said taking a step back. Can’t really blame him after all, to come home and see his 44-year-old wife be regressed back to a 14-year-old. “What happened? I thought you said that you’d only become 24?”

“Looks like the scientists were a little off,” I told him. I had no intention of letting him know that I intentionally took more of the drug then I should have. I didn’t want to admit to him that I was running away from my job and the responsibilities of motherhood.

“Are you okay Susie? Other then the fact that you’re a kid again? We can always sue you know.”

“I’m okay. But we won’t be able to sue them, I signed a form that clears them of any responsibility.”

“But what about your career and about the kids?”

“Well, I’m a little too young to keep working and well, I guess we’ll have to explain what I did.”

“Will you be okay with that?” he asked me holding me close.

“Well, I guess I don’t really have a choice do I? After all, the only way I’ll be able to get back to my old age is to do the long way.” That night at dinner we explained the situation to Megan and Samantha. Samantha seemed just fine with the situation and I can’t really blame her, after all, her mom was now a new playmate for her. I couldn’t really get a good grasp on how Megan took the news. We weren’t really talking before I became fourteen again and she didn’t really show much reaction to it at all. Well, that’s not entirely true. My husband decided I was too young to sleep in the same bed anymore and it was very true. As a result, I would be sharing the same bedroom with Megan and Samantha.

“But Dad!” Megan whined. “It’s already bad enough that I have the kid in the room already, but now I have to share my room with my mom too.”

“Well there’s no room for discussion on this. There isn’t anywhere else for your mother to sleep,” Richard stated, laying down the law.

“Yeah, but its not my fault she decided to become younger and turned into a little pipsqueak!” Megan shouted.

“Hey, regardless of how old I am now I am still your mother missy!” I told her. I stood up to try to assert any authority I could. I knew it would be a loosing battle. She rose up from her chair and I was surprised to see that she was maybe four or five inches taller then me. I shuddered a little bit as I looked up into her eyes. In a defiant way, she then lowered herself to get down to my eye level, grinning.

“Oh I’m really scared of such a little girl,” she laughed.

“That’s enough Megan!” Richard snapped. “You leave your mother alone!”

“Alright then Dad,” she replied walking away from me and went back to her place at the table. We then spent the rest of the night making the girls bedroom work for three people. My husband and I then had a long discussion and decided that I couldn’t just stay alone in the house everyday. We made some calls and I got enrolled as a freshman at Smith Valley High School. The idea of going to school to learn things that I already knew seemed like a waste of time. School should be easier this time around though considering I have done it once before and since I am fourteen again, I may as well have more fun this time around! I hugged my husband goodnight and went to go sleep in my new room. Samantha was already fast asleep. She was always a very sound sleeper, even as a baby. Made those days a lot easier. Megan wasn’t in the room though, but I figured she would be in any minute. No sooner did I think that, than she approached me from behind and pushed me to the floor.

“Ouch!” I shouted in pain as I hit the floor. I looked up at her and she seemed even more threatening then she did at dinner. “Megan, why the heck did you do that?”

“Alright, listen up little Susie. In this room, I am the oldest one so I am the one in charge which means you have to do what I say!”

“Now you listen!” I shouted trying to get up but Megan was able to stop me by putting her foot on my back. I let out a yelp of pain and tried to get up but she pressed her foot harder and deeper into my back.

“No, you listen! I’ve had to put up with your stupid rules about what I could wear and who I could go out with. Now I’m the older one and I will be the one making the rules!”

“Megan, stop this, I am your mother!” I shouted. I never had anticipated that she would treat me like this.

“Oh yeah?” she said pulling me up by my hair and standing me up. She then pulled down my skirt and underwear, and my face became beet red as I became exposed. “Doesn’t look like you’re a mom to anyone. You don’t even have a single hair down there.” I moved my hands the cover myself but before I could she pulled my arms over my head and took my shirt off. “And last time I checked, most mothers usually have bigger breasts then these little things.” She ripped off my training bra as well now leaving me completely naked. Helpless. I never felt so helpless in my life. To be completely at the mercy of my daughter, I couldn’t help but break down and weep. I took a look at the mirror in the room and took a good look into it. Did I make a big mistake in taking the drug? I wasn’t happy the way things were before but at least they were better then they were now. As the tears ran down my cheeks I couldn’t help but notice that I felt a small tingling feeling across my body.

“Megan, what are you doing with mommy?” Samantha asked starting to stir a little bit.

“Oh, we were just playing around. Isn’t that right little Susie?” Megan replied.

“Uh, yeah that’s right.” I didn’t need to worry Samantha about my problems, not to mention it might make Megan angry.

“We will be going to bed now Samantha,” Megan smiled.

“Okay, good night Megan, good night mommy” Samantha said and went back to sleep.

“Well, I think you understand how things are going to work here little Susie. We will have more fun tomorrow,” she said slipping into a nightie and then getting into her bed. I grimaced at the idea of more fun. More fun? Nothing about that experience was fun and I assumed it would be even worse. I stood up and pulled my panties back up, and they slowly began to fall down again. Maybe they got stretched out or something. Yeah, that must be it. I then prepared myself for bed and then got into my bed. I couldn’t help but stay up thinking, my head swirling with thoughts about tomorrow. What would my first day of high school bring? What does Megan have planned? And was that tingling just part of my imagination?
