Cas walked out of the turbolift still holding his pants up, grabbing his pants to so they didn't trip him.
"Big Annika, do you fink the cwew will take me seriously?" He asked as they walked out.
“Why not?” Annika gave her now much smaller and younger husband a look. “We’re all still us inside, it’s just our bodies that have changed.” She massaged her temples trying to shrug off a headache that she knew wasn’t going to go anytime soon.
“But I’m just a wittle guy now! I can’t ewen weach stuff without a steppy stool,” Cas complained, looking up at the others. He frowned as another thought occurred to him. “And what about all the grown-up stuff? Nobody’s gonna listen to me when I look like this! If we stay this wittle, Are we gonna be able to do gwown up things... like sex..." They walked into their quarters. Inside he pulls his pants down. "Its not even big anymowe."
He pointed at himself indignantly.
“I’m still a grown-up in here!” he insisted, tapping his forehead. “I’m just... weawwy, weawy wittle outside.”
Annika couldn’t help but grin at Cas standing there with his trousers down. “Ohh Cas!” She helped him up with his trousers before sitting down on the sofa. “Sex isn’t what’s important right now, and we’ll get back to our older selves again.” She paused. “I’m afraid we have bigger problems to deal with. At this age my abilities had just started kicking in, a lot earlier than they should have. I had…am having…problems trying to keep the voices and emotions out! Betazoids can go insane from too much input.”
"But what if we wittle for 15 yeaws." He replied as he realized what he was saying. "Sowwy... my pawents always said I was a mouthful..." He rolled over on his stomach and slid down the couch. "I was a weally self centred wittle boy." He paused. "My may be wittle... but I know my twaining. I am sowwy. I wealized you went thwough big twouble when you wewe elewen, or twelwe. We can get pwopew clothes on. We can go to whewe i make all the booboos go away. I fink there is a way to hewp you."
Annika nodded and smiled. “I guess this is my chance to be a parent as well as a wife, how in the hell are we such different ages? You’re so young compared to me.” She walked over to the replicator and chose uniforms in suitably small sizes for them. Bringing them over a few moments later she handed Cas his. “There you go.”
As he watched her change, he walked up to her. "Your scars... they not there!" He walked over to his table. Picked up a med scanner. Completely oblivious he was naked.
“My scars are gone?” Annika hadn’t given that a thought.
Scanning her belly. "Your belly. No more booboos. It nowmal."
“So I could…be a mum…” she paused. “No, it won’t last, when we go back to being our older selves everything will be as it was my scars will be back and I’ll be unable to have kids again.” She sighed.
"Ow we find way to make so owies stay away. Me become daddie you become mommie..."
“How do we do that?” Annika sighed. “Once we grow up again we’ll go back to how we were. I’ll go back to not being able to have children.”
""I make booboos stay byebye... or we stay... we gwow up again... we no get booboos."
Annika smiled giving her somewhat diminutive husband a big hug. “I love you!” She drew back her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. “I hate being a kid again, but if we can fix me then that’s good.”
"If we can fix, i fix... if we can't.. me stay wittle... so we can be mommies and daddies when we big." Cas replied
Annika shook her head. “No Cas, if we can’t fix then I want you back there with me as your big self. As much as I’d love to have children with you, what matters is that we’re together.” She offered a smile.
"No gauwantee we not if dis wooks."
“Whatever happens I’m staying at your side, no matter what our ages.” Annika smiled as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Das good. Me staying."
“We’re both staying here Cas, we’ll get whatever this is sorted.” Annika added with a smile.
"Den, lets get out of hewe and fix dis."
Annika smiled and nodded. “I’m right with you.”
