Jimmy woke up extremely nauseous and didn't dare move a muscle as he laid in the bed. He was getting sick and tired of having the baby inside of him and wanted nothing more than to get it out. But, his mother had been adamant that his punishment for doing weird things to himself was to carry the baby to term and although Jimmy hated it, he wouldn't kill a child. Since Jimmy couldn't do anything until his nausea subsided, he started thinking about Cindy and what she hadn't told him and what he had found out. Knowing that Nick was hurting her because of him really hurt him. He hated that they couldn't be together but he knew it was for the best.
"Stupid hormones!" Jimmy growled, wiping his eyes. "I hate being pregnant."
There was a knock on the door and Jimmy turned as his mom walked in.
"Jimmy, are you alright?"
"I'm really nauseous right now so I can't move."
"Why are you crying?"
"I don't know, because I'm pregnant and everything makes me cry." He growled again. "I don't wanna do this, Mom…"
"Well, you're going to have to. This is what you get for-"
"Doing unsupervised experiments on myself related to specimens that I had no clue what they were really about. I know. You've told me this already."
"Then come to terms with it and accept your fate, James. I take it you won't be at school?"
"No, I can't get up. If I do, I don't think I'll make it to the bathroom in time."
Judy sighed and sat next to her son on the bed.
"Jimmy, I know it's very hard for you to understand because it shouldn't have happened but… if you hate your baby, it can die. A child can sense when it's loved and wanted but it can also sense when it isn't. It can cause a lot of problems for the child."
"I don't hate it, I hate that it's me…"
"It doesn't matter what or who it is, the feelings you give off is absorbed by the baby. Even if you were grieving over someone's death, it effects the baby. Please just try to remember that it's not the child's fault that it's here. That being said, you have another appointment in a couple of weeks for another sonogram and check up. Have you been taking your vitamins?"
"Uh… no…"
"James Isaac Neutron-"
"I'm sorry, it's just I've been busy thinking about stuff and I forgot about them."
"I suggest you start taking them as soon as possible, young man."
"When I'm done being nauseous I will…" Jimmy mumbled, looking away.
Judy made a face at him but walked out of his room.
Jimmy childishly stuck his tongue out at his mother. He crossed his arms over his chest and waited for the nausea to leave.
Finally, after two hours, Jimmy felt alright to get up. He went and grabbed something to eat and took his prenatal pills and then went to his lab. He walked in and saw something on the floor and went to pick it up. After squinting at it for a second, he pulled out his glasses from the drawer and stuck them on. When it came into view, he saw it was the piece of the Neutronic Monster Machine that the werewolf had thrown at him the night before. Jimmy suddenly remembered the werewolf in the containment field he had made and went over to it quickly but instead of the werewolf, it was a person. Jimmy had figured that would happen but he put on his best airs and cleared his throat.
"Excuse me? Are you awake?"
The person seemed to stir and sat up a little, putting their hand to their head. Jimmy watched patiently as the guy stood up and then turned around. Jimmy yelled, stepping backwards.
"Sheen?!"
Sheen looked around for a second and then squinted at Jimmy.
"Jimmy?"
"What the heck? What are you doing in my containment field? How did you even get in?"
"I'm not sure…"
"Where's the werewolf?"
Sheen turned his head at his friend and pointed at himself.
"I'm the werewolf… I thought you realized that?"
"No! How could I have known that?!"
Sheen shrugged. "I thought you got what I was trying to tell you last night?"
"I don't speak dog, Sheen."
"No reason to get pissy, Jimmy." Sheen growled. "Let me out of here."
"Hell no! You scared the hell out of me last night and it took all I could do to get you in there."
"I'm not going to eat you, dumbass. Besides, I need some clothes or something."
Jimmy was skeptical about it but he needed answers immediately. Was it worth letting him run loose again? Jimmy ran his fingers through his hair.
"I'll… I'll go get some clothes for you and then I'll let you out. But you had better tell me what's going on."
"Same here." Jimmy looked at him in confusion. "You said you were pregnant and for me not to eat you because it would be cruel."
"Oh, pfft, that was just a joke-"
"I can smell that you're different but I didn't know what it was. Now I understand… you explain to me and I'll explain to you, deal?"
Jimmy nodded and went to get some clothes for his friend.
"They're probably too short but that's why I got you pajama bottoms… so…"
Sheen put the bottoms on and then put Jimmy's shirt on. The pants were definitely too short, more like manpris on Sheen, but at least he wasn't naked.
Jimmy grabbed the piece of his experiment and held it up.
"What were you trying to tell me with this? Thanks for breaking my display, by the way." He grumbled.
"I'm not fully cognizant when it happens so… yeah… And I was trying to get you to look into it."
"Again, I don't speak dog."
"Well shit, Jimmy, when I'm a werewolf I don't speak human so quit with the dog jokes will ya?"
"I'm not joking around, Sheen, I'm just trying to understand what's going on. Everything has been weird since I got back to Retroville and for the first time, it's not even my conscious doing."
"I was trying to get you to remember what happened when we used this. Remember, we all somehow got turned literally into the creatures that were picked? And remember, I was a werewolf."
"Yeah, I remember that. I got the flying octopus." He said with a frown.
"Yeah, well, when we got turned back, those genes didn't go away, Jimmy. They're still inside of us."
"What do you mean?"
"You may have turned us back but it didn't completely take out the genes that were created when our new forms were created. That means that Carl and Cindy still have vampire genes, me and Libby still have werewolf genes and you still have octopus genes."
"That's impossible."
"Oh yeah? Then explain last night." Sheen growled, crossing his arms.
"I… can't…"
"Because it's true. I was pretty stupid when I was a kid but I'm not that kid anymore. After all those stupid institutes and pills and uppers and downers and psychiatrists, it kind of killed my innocence, ya know? This last place… this last place was different than all the other institutes that I'd been in. Most of them just gave me pills to keep me halfway sedated half the time but this new place was different. They experimented on me with different things and then one day, I turned. They hunted me down with tranquilizers and took me back to the labs.
"I woke up while the scientist was talking and I overheard him talking about my blood and how there had been traces of an odd gene there. He had extracted it and made a serum to make it activate inside of me. When he realize what it was though, he knew he'd made a mistake of bringing it out and so developed pills to try and keep it from happening again. The pills aren't working anymore, Jimmy. That's why I need your help."
"I don't know how to help you…"
"You're a boy genius and you can't think of anything? Brain blast or something!" Sheen yelled, standing up. "I can't live like this anymore. Do you know how hard it is not to just rip out Carl's throat with my teeth because he stole Libby away from me? Do you know how hard it is not to actually jump Libby because I still love her? Do you know how hard it was for me not to kill Nick the other day?"
"So that was you… but he said it looked like Slenderman."
"The werewolf doesn't come out of me like regular ones do. It's like I fold in and the werewolf folds out from my back. He'd pissed me off and the werewolf was trying to climb out but I got it under control… Jimmy, please help me."
"I… I don't know where to start. All of those experiments are in the expanding foam in my old lab."
"Then I suggest you figure out a way to unexpand it!" Sheen growled, grabbing Jimmy's shirt. "Now, explain your pregnancy to me."
"Do I have to?"
"You agreed to explain to me if I explained to you. So start talking."
Jimmy sighed and adjusted his glasses.
"I was… testing out a serum that I had made with the samples I had gotten from Timmy Turner's holograms. I was trying to develop a serum that used the same type of voice activated instant gratification technique. He used an 'I wish' command to get those things and I was testing it out. Well, something went awry and when I tested it on myself I ended up like this. I said, "I wish I was bigger" in regards to my height and somehow ended up like this…"
Sheen made a face at him, sniffing him a little.
"And you didn't ask Timmy about it?"
"I tried but he was in the middle of something."
"Why don't you use that stuff on me then?"
"Well, I thought about it but if it screwed up so bad on me, I don't want it to mess you up even more, mentally or physically now. What if when I wish you weren't a werewolf anymore it turned you into something not human? What if it made you just a wolf? I just want to be extra cautious…"
"Well if you weren't being all secretive with your experiments then Carl and I could help you out. Even Cindy could."
"No one but you and Timmy Turner knows I'm like this… well, my mom, but that's beside the point. I'm not going to tell anyone about this just like you'd expect me not to tell anyone you were a werewolf."
-Incoming transmission from Timothy Turner, Dimsdale. Do you accept this transmission?- VOX said, scaring the two of them.
VOX hardly spoke to Jimmy in his old lab and the same was in the new one as well but since it was hard for him to know if someone was calling him without her, she would announce the incoming calls.
"Yes, thank you."
The screen turned on and Timmy adjusted the screen a little.
"Yo, Jimmy, how's Baby Jimmy?"
"That's your greeting?" Jimmy growled.
Timmy just grinned and leaned back a little.
"Who's that?"
"It's Sheen… you met him when you came to Retroville."
"I did?"
"Hey, it's Little Headed Jimmy." Sheen said as a reminder.
"Oh yeah! You look waaaay different."
"Enough. What did you call for?"
"Well, I'm in the clear now so I could talk with you in a little better setting than before. I asked Cosmo and Wanda about your incident and they said that two completely unrelated words that can't be mixed up by mishearing cannot be done unless it's said directly. In other words, 'cake' and 'make' is something plausible but 'bigger' and 'pregnant' are not. I even asked them since bigger is kind of a broad word if that would make a difference and they said no because since it is a broad word, the wish wouldn't have worked because it wasn't specific."
"But what if it did work?"
"I'm telling you, Neutron, it wouldn't. I even tried it with them and nothing happened. Without a specific command to 'bigger' it won't do anything."
"Then how in the hell did this happen?! I'm pregnant and I didn't even ask for it!"
"I know that in Fai- I mean the programming I have on my 'fairies' makes it so that that the men have the babies, cuz Cosmo carried Poof but other than that, they said for a human to carry a child would be the wish of the human."
"So… if that's the case, then the serum should be fine for other wishes, right? As in, if I wanted to use it on someone else, it will work?"
"I'm sure it would… You can't kill the baby though, Jimmy."
"I'm not. I meant for Sheen."
"What do you mean?"
"One of my experiments made it feasible for Sheen to be turned into a werewolf. He said that the genes were kept in his body and then were activated by someone who experimented on him. I can't get into my old lab to look at my Neutronic Monster Maker and see what I did. Could I wish for Sheen to be human?"
"Nope." Wanda said, coming out of nowhere. "Sorry, Sheen, but if the werewolf gene that Jimmy is talking about is part of your DNA now, we can't change DNA."
"But Wanda, you guys change me into stuff every day."
"Not permanently though. You may change into a squirrel or a fish every so often but it's temporary."
"Then what can I do?" Sheen asked. "I can't live like this. I didn't ask to be turned into a werewolf. Even Jimmy didn't ask that. Someone extracted the gene and made me turn into one. Isn't there something we can do?"
"We can look in the Da Rules and see if there is anything in there but I highly doubt it. There has to be a bunch of loopholes from what I understand, right, Wanda?"
"Right, Timmy. It'll take us a while in order to see about a loophole such as that."
"But wait, you guys turned me into a fairy before so what's the difference now?" Sheen growled.
"There was a loophole. Timmy saved all of the fairies and allowed that to happen. Other than that… well…"
"Right, so saving all of the computer programs enabled you that ability?"
"Yes… it's a bonus gift for uh… defeating the level." Timmy said, making up something plausible. "Don't worry though, Cosmo and Wanda will talk with the other fairies about this and I'll ask AJ if he knows something on the sciencey side."
Sheen sighed as he leaned on the control panel and Jimmy sighed as well.
"Alright then… thanks for calling back. When you find something let me know."
"Sure thing, Jimmy… hey uh, is Cindy still available?"
"Seriously?"
Jimmy smiled. "Just joking. I have a girlfriend. Just wanted to rile you up again. See ya."
The screen went blank and Jimmy sighed. Sheen went to the floor and looked as if he were about to cry.
"Don't worry, Sheen, I'll try and help too… I'll need to make a chemical to get out the expanding foam in my old lab and see if I can get any information from there."
Sheen looked up. "You'll really go back there?"
"I don't want to but since most of my old experiments were on a whim, I didn't write down how they were created. Everything is in the makeup of those inventions so I have to actually analyze them personally… Just don't come in, okay?"
Sheen smiled. "Don't worry, I learned my lesson last time."
so if i'm not mistaken, timmy still refers to cosmo and wanda as fairies because jimmy believes that they are computer programs called fairies. i had him change fairy world into something like a game so that jimmy wouldn't get suspicious. so... yeah. and jimmy is going back into his old lab again... what could happen from there?
