Alternate ending to Peterson’s Halloween disaster

“HEATHER WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” , screamed May.

“I like mommy little”, said Heather as she back away from the console.

The screen on the console was displaying an input error and beeping loudly. To May’s horror, the ages for her parents started to go backwards instead of forwards. May franticly tried to stop the chamber. The ages for her parents were now younger than 4 and still going. She turned to look and saw two toddlers pounding on the door wanting to get out. They had scared looks on their faces. Their screams were getting higher in pitch as they shrank down in age. In a panic, May hit the keyboard hard. Sparks flew from the console. It did not stop; her parents were still getting younger by the second. Babies cries caught May’s attention and she watched as her parents became small infants. The screen now showed 0 years 0 months 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds old, they were now newborns. To May’s horror, the babies were still getting smaller. They stopped crying and were curling up into fetal positions. Tears were streaming out of her eyes as she tried to make the chamber stop. The screen now showed 0 years -4 months -2 days -7 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds old. Julie and Mark were now 4 months from being born. Their ages continued to count backwards. Nothing May did stopped the chamber and now the grief stricken daughter watched as the fetus on the chamber floor shrank into limbless embryos. Finally the humming of the chamber stopped and May saw only two small drops of liquid on the chamber floor. She glanced at the screen and it read 0 years - 9 months 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds old. According to her biology class, her parents were now fertilized eggs. With teared filled eyes, May grabbed a slide off of her father’s lab table and carefully scrapped the two drops of liquid onto it. She carried the slide to a microscope and peered into it. What she saw when she looked into the scope were two single celled human eggs. To her surprise and excitement, the single cells in the eggs split into two. After a few minutes, the cells divided again making the eggs have 4 cells each. May knew that the eggs will not be able to survive long outside the womb. Quickly May grabbed a syringe on the table and filled it with some water. Using the microscope, May sucked up the two eggs into it. She pulled down her pants and panties and carefully inserted the syringe into her vagina. May felt it pass her cervix and she pushed the stopper down. She felt the water containing her parents flow into her womb. May hoped beyond hope that this would work and save her parents.

After a few days of morning, May took a pregnancy test. She prayed while she waited to the results. May almost cried out in joy when the result came back as positive. She now hoped that she was now carrying twins and not a single baby.

Three months later, May visited the doctor’s office. She laid down on the table as the doctor used the ultrasound on her pregnant belly. She looked at the screen with longing.

“I see two babies. Your having twins”, said the doctor.

Smiling, May felt a heavy load lift from her heart. “Great, can you tell the sexes of the babies?”,

“To early to tell, maybe in a few months”, replied the doctor.

May’s belly continued to grow as the months passed. She took care of Heather as her mother would have. She found an emergency package her dad left if anything happened with the chamber. She used the information and material to make a new identity for herself and became the legal guardian of Heather. She studied her father’s notes, but that knowledge was far beyond hers. May took night courses to increase her knowledge in hopes that someday she could fix the chamber. There May met a man and fell in love, his name was Greg Kelly. Greg cared for May and helped her with Lamaze classes. They were married 1 month before her babies were due.

Exactly 9 months later since the disaster with chamber, May went into labor. Greg drove May to the hospital with Heather in the backseat. After 4 long hours of labor, May gave birth to a baby boy and girl. The nurse wrapped each baby in blankets and handed them to her.

“Their beautiful honey”, smiled Greg as he kissed May.

“What names do you want on the birth certificates?”, asked the nurse.

“Julie Ann Kelly and Mark Andrew Kelly”, replied May helping her new babies nurse from her nipples.

?Happy birthday mom and dad’, thought May as she looked down with love at her two new children.

Heather, out of guilt of what she did to her parents, helped her new mother and father take care of little Julie and Mark. She became the best big sister she could to her new siblings.

May eventually told Greg everything but his love for her never waned. Her two youngest children only had flashes of memory of their pervious lives as they grew up again. Halloween always made May sad when it came around, it reminded her of that night when her life was changed forever. May finally fixed the chamber many years later, but that is another story.
