Lanie rushed out and saw the eldest boy had also shifted. Straight into an uber merman with tentacles and everything.

“Crap!” she cried and grabbed him and placed him in the bath.

“Well, this is interesting,” Andie said, her eyes glowing as she checked them over.

“Someone tell us what’s going on!” Jase bellowed with fear in his voice.

“The babies can shift. At the moment, we have two in merform and one uber merman,” Lanie announced as Baba Yaga hurried back to check on Willow.

“We have what?” Willow demanded in disbelief.

“They can shift into all three forms. However, they seem to prefer their water side,” Lanie explained.

Baba Yaga chuckled. “You’re going to have to revise your living arrangements.”

“They are fine now. They needed to touch water. I’m not required, so excuse me,” Andie said as she stumbled out.

“Andie, shift into Pandora,” Lilith ordered.

Andie shook her head. “Call someone to help me back to my quarters, please.”

Vladimir arrived and, seeing the commotion, picked Andie up and disappeared with her.

Lanie returned to the bathroom and watched the babies frolic about. The second boy, on realising his brother had a different shape, scrunched up his face, and Lanie thought he was going to poop himself. Instead, he managed to change into his brother’s form. A wave of happiness hit Lanie, and she realised it had come from him.

The little girl had been happily flapping about, but now her brothers had something she didn’t. Moments later, she, too, had shifted and was slapping her tentacles around.

“Do they seem advanced to you?” Sela questioned.

“Yeah. In this form, they’re not totally helpless. Swimming is natural to them,” Lanie noted.

“Was Callidora the same?” Jess asked.

“Yes. She was advanced at shifting and using her tail.”

“Holy crap. I could have a baby Loch Ness. How the hell would I manage a baby that size?” Jess gasped.

Lanie broke into gales of laughter. “Think of Salah with an infant Scylla.”

The women blanched.

“Or the woman who gives birth to a baby Yeti, Minotaur, or Big Foot,” Lanie said.

“Fu…” Sela shook her head.

“Let’s hope they all come out baby human-sized, or some woman’s lady bits will never be the same!” Jess cried.

They all began laughing as the babies watched them from the bath.

“Can we see them?” Willow asked weakly as Jase carried her in. Jase stared at the water in utter awe as all three babies turned as one and faced them.

“Did you see that?” Jess muttered.

“Could they have telepathy?” Lanie suggested.

Jase moved to the other side, and they followed suit. “Wow.”

“This is a family moment,” Sela murmured.
