"I have news sir."
"What is it. Spit it out!"
"Ok, ok. #1 has returned to his normal self. #2 and #3 however, are still children."
"So they've figured out how to break the spell? Are you sure you did it right? It wasn't supposed to break so quickly."
"They broke #1's on accident. They now know how it's done, however what they don't know is that it has to be true. The child has to want it herself. Not be told to."
"Good work, and keep it up! Or I'll partner you up with a rank 4."
"Yes, sir. Right away, sir."
"Good luck, Justin"

Nothing they had tried was working. Both Moriah and Luke were still kids, and to be honest, it was getting REALLY ANNOYING. With Moriah Pregnant, with the mind of a 3 year old, this was just chaos! Sydney wished and wished for her mom to be normal but nothing was happening.
"Cupcake, try again, ok?" Joel said softly.
"I with you wood be nomal." She said looking at Moriah with stern eyes. Moriah looked back at her, but then looked back down at her applesauce and kept eating. Helen took Moriah upstairs for a nap after she ate.
Sydney turned around on the bench and crossed her arms, frustrated.
"I didn't mean fow it to come out dis way. I'm sewious!"
"Cupcake look, no one is blaming you for what happened. You just wanted us to play with you more, and you made a wish for it. This time, it just happened to come true in an unexpected way....., you understand? You're not in trouble for this."
"Weally?"
"Absolutely."
Joel gave her a kiss on the forehead and lifted her onto his lap.
"You know what I do with fow?"
"What's that?"
"I with mommy wath nomal again so she could make Mac and Theese!"
"Oh really. Well maybe I can make it."
Sydney shook her head in disgust.
"Mommy's is bettew" she said with her tongue out. "Oh really. Well then I guess you're just gonna have to wait till Mommy gets back! Until then you'll have to eat mi...."
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF CHEESE AND CRACKERS AM I WEARING?!"
Joel's mouth dropped open. That was definitely Moriah. Because little Moriah had a lisp. Joel ran up the stairs to where Moriah was and about laughed.
"Joel! Did you do this?! Why on earth am I wearing a Moana Nightgown?!"
Joel didn't answer except by going up to her and just giving her a huge hug.
"It's a long story. I'm just glad you're back." He said in her shoulder.
"Back? I didn't go anywhere!" Moriah said with a laugh. "Now, explain the dress." She said as she walked into the closet to change into something HER age. Joel explained everything to her, except the fact that she was pregnant. He figured she would figure that out eventually.
"A wish? How nuts! I didn't even think that was real!" She said, coming out in a sweatshirt and leggings.
"Well, as far as we know, it is and both you an I are "revived" so to speak. Luke is still in Veggie mode" Joel said with a laugh. Moriah cracked up at this. "Where's SweetCakes?" (Sydney)
"Probably watching a movie or something. Like veggietales with Luke."
Moriah chuckled and went out to look for Sydney. Joel stayed in the room, Thanking God for bringing his love back.
_______Later that Day______
"JOEL!!!!"
Joel sat straight up from his seat on the couch when he heard Moriah yell. He quickly got up to investigate.
He reached the bathroom where he saw Moriah sitting in the bathtub with a towel for a covering. She had just taken a shower.
"Are you ok?!" Joel said Ashe rushed to help her up. "No, I slipped on a bath toy while trying to get out. I think I broke something."
Joel helped her out of the bathtub and sat her on the floor. He rushed into their room to grab some clothes for her to change into. After getting her changed, he picked her up bridal style and carried her downstairs.
"Mum! Open the door for me, would ya? And then the passenger side door on the van."
Helen did these without questioning once she saw Moriah's leg color.
"I'll call you in a bit with information." Joel said as he sped away.
