Alex was in a panic and she didn't know what to do. She had screwed up in the past, and she was going to screw up again. She had misbehaved in the past, and had been punished for it. She used magic to be selfish and lazy, and she always paid the price. If she didn't think of something to change her brother back before her parents got home, she'd lose her wand and privileges again.

"Alex…" Her best friend was holding an eight-month-old infant wrapped in her brother's clothes. "You got to change him back! I think Justin needs changing!!!"

"I'm looking! I'm looking!" Alex rushed and searched through her father's spell book for a counter-spell. Her older brother was screaming and crying in infant form as Harper jostled him in her arms. Alex needed a good spell and she thought she had a good one.

"Here's one…" Alex scanned the page and waved her wand. "A infant you are, a man you shall be, become an adult as I count to three, one, two, three!" All she got was a puff of smoke from her wand. It didn't work against a person with a spell already on them. Her big brother was still tiny, bawling and screaming his head off in Harper's arms. Once in love with the tall and athletic intellectual, Harper jostled her would-be boyfriend from her one arm to the other and gave a look to Alex of sheer annoyance. It was always one stupid thing after another with her.

"What now?"

"This is what we're doing." Alex bent down under the kitchen counter and pulled out the big turkey pan, taking her brand new baby brother from her best friend and laying him in the pan. "We're leaving him on a doorstep across town and running away!!!"

"Alex!!!"

"It's our only solution!!!" They heard the door unlatching and opening as her parents came home. This was just great! Caught with the evidence! There was no escaping punishment now! Her mother hard the crying baby and looked over to the scene. Puzzled and confused, her father heard the screams and started wondering what was going on.

"Alex…" Theresa Russo dropped her purse and marched over. "Where'd the baby come from?"

"We're, um, babysitting…" Alex claimed as Harper became quiet and watched what occurred next.

"That's my good stewing pot." Jerry Russo came over as his wife took the baby out of the pot and grinned cooing at him. The little guy drew quiet as he looked at her. Theresa loved babies, and this one was so cute. Alex and Harper started backing away to flee in silence. Jerry put his pot away as Theresa calmed the baby.

"Did you leave Justin to watch the shop alone?" Jerry asked them.

"Um, uh…" Alex was hedging and stuttering to think. "No, we… uh, closed early…"

"This is just great!" Harper mumbled. "I can't go home anymore because I live here now!!!" She referred to her parents having moved away and letting her finish the school year with Alex and her family. She spent so much time with them; it practically was her second home.

"Oh, Jerry, look…." Theresa was making the baby giggle and coo at her. "He's making that same face Justin used to do when he was…" She and Jerry looked closer and realized the baby looked very familiar. In fact, he looked like… No, it couldn't be. Jerry took a picture of young Justin off the wall and compared it to the baby. The similarity was incredible. They looked to Alex and Harper. Alex looked annoyed; Harper was terrified. Teresa looked back to the baby in her arms.

"Alex, is that baby… Justin?" He asked his rotten daughter. Theresa looked upset.

"Justin?" Alex scoffed at that thought. "Course not! Whatever gives you that idea?!" She then realized Harper was about to snap and clamped her hand over her mouth.

"Uh-huh…" Jerry was highly suspicious. He reached high up above the kitchen sink and took a jar of herbs with anathema properties. Honey root and cinnamon were an anathema which when mixed together as powder acted as a void against all unintentional spells, especially those by inexperienced witches and wizards. Alex's jaw dropped nervously as he powdered the baby's forehead curiously. Almost immediately, the baby exploded to full size and Theresa was holding and dropping her nineteen-year-old son. Alex slapped her hand to her head in disgusted disbelief. Her mother was shocked. Her father was furious.

"Alex!!!!!!!"

Justin meanwhile staggered and fought to regain his full faculties. His brain was re-uploading years of memories, facts and figures. Tall, nineteen-years-old and mature once more, his mother and Harper rushed to help him to the sofa. He barely knew where or who he was, yet, gradually it was all coming back to him. He had been running the shop and Harper and Alex were waiting on tables; at least, Harper was. Alex was sitting and talking on her phone. He ordered her to work, she told him to back off and the next thing he knew he was holding on to Harper four times bigger than him and trying to nurse from her!

"Justin, honey, are you okay?" Theresa looked into her son's bewildered face.

"Justin, you were so cute as a baby." Harper was holding his hand. "I hope our future babies look just like you!" She was still convinced he was her future life mate.

"Alex," Jerry confronted his daughter. "How could you? Why would you do this?"

"It was an accident!!!" She screamed gesturing to her brother. "I told Justin he was being a big baby and next thing I knew he was a little baby… literally!!!" She gasped and rolled her eyes realizing she had a punishment coming. "How long?"

"Two weeks! No wand!" Jerry asked for it.

"Fine…" Alex pulled it out of her belt and handed it over to him.

"Justin, honey," Theresa was still trying to rouse his son from his mystical predicament. "Please talk to me. Are you okay?"

"Justin make boom-boom in his pants!" He declared as Harper bounced herself away from him and to the end of the sofa.
