Jane went through the medicine cabinet and found Mike’s pain pills from his back injury.  Half a bottle left.  Mike wasn’t going to need these anymore, just as Jordan doesn’t need her inhaler or Robby his tutor.  Things have definitely changed in one week for Jane Powers that she felt overwhelmed by it all.

Jane unscrewed the cap off the painkillers and filled a glass of water from the sink.  She looked at the pills and the glass.  Jane wanted it all to end so she took the bottle of pills to her mouth and chased it with the water.

“Mom, you okay in there?” Jane faintly heard Robby’s voice on the other side of the door.  Jane couldn’t respond because she didn’t want to as she sat down on the bathroom rug.

Something in Robby rose to panic.  He didn’t know what to do; he worried about his Mom and her depression.  Robby knew his Mom suffered.  She always put on a good front but deep down inside she was screaming.  “Please Mom, say something,” he said ready to cry.  Robby may have gotten smarter but he was still a ten year old boy who needed his mother…

Steve felt panic in his thoughts.  His first instinct was to check up on the latest titan children.  Steve reached out to Robby Powers and his mind filled with the image of Robby standing at the bathroom door calling for his mother.  Steve didn’t like this one bit, so he reached out to Jane Powers.  Images of a nearly conscious woman lying on a bathroom rug came into his head.  Pills lying all around her like they fell out of the bottle.  Steve quickly left his office.

Caroline Honeywell ran into Steve and saw the look on his face.

“I’ll get some med techs out at the Powers place.  I’ll let Melinda know you had to step out,” Caroline said after she read Steve’s thoughts.  Steve gave her a grateful nod and went on.

Steve ran as quickly and as careful as he could until he reached the Powers home.  It was just a plain country house.  Steve knew he could make it there quicker than the techs.  The twins and Robby came running out of the house when they saw Steve.  The kids looked worried.

“She went into the bathroom and never came back out.  I tried calling for her but she wouldn’t answer,” Robby said as he craned his neck up to look at Steve.

“Help is on the way,” Steve tells the boy.  “Where’s the bathroom?”

Robby pointed to an upstairs window.  Steve looked in and saw Jane sprawled out on the bathroom rug of the old bathroom.  Steve had no choice but to break the closed window and he had to be careful about it, he didn’t want to injure Jane.  He tapped his index finger lightly on the glass and it cracked.  He had it to where he could carefully remove the glass chucks towards the outside.   He heard Jane moaning but her breathing was pretty shallow.  A Gaea House ambulance pulled up just as Steve was carefully removing Jane out of the house.  He smelled the painkillers from the open widow and on Jane.

“Drug overdose,” he tells the medics as he gently puts her on the stretcher.  “Mrs. Powers has a history of depression.  Make sure her room is prepared for her ‘special circumstance.”

“Will do Mr. James,” said the gray haired medic.  “What about the young ‘uns?”

“They will come with me.  Take good care of her,” Steve tells the medic and he nods.

Jessica and Jordan were in tears and Robby tried to keep a brave face but failed miserably.  They watched as the ambulance pulled away.  Steve knelt down before the children.  The three of them huddled together.  Robby had his arms around his sisters and did his best to soothe them.  Steve put his hand around them is his version of an embrace.  Steve stayed silent and let the kids cry…

Back at Gaea House, Sven Lindquist got his moment when the call came to the clinic about a drug overdose.  The giant man-boy stepped into action.  Since he was the smallest one with any sort of medical training, Dr. Vincent Gunderson recruited him to be a part of his medical staff despite the fact he has a criminal background and is presently evolving.  Sven was only twelve feet tall but he was still small enough to handle the human sized patients.

Sven frowned when he recognized his patient as Jane Powers.  The foolish woman tried to kill herself.  Sven thought as he directed the medics to a room.  Sven raised the table so that he could comfortably work on the small woman.  He pumped her stomach and her heartbeat became steady.  He administered some oxygen and lowered the table so the techs could take her to her room.  Sven felt the rush of adrenaline through his system.  This was the first time Sven felt useful in a long time.  He saved a life; he never thought he would ever get his chance to do that again…

Cody Matthews got the thrill of his life when he woke up one morning and he measured at twenty-six feet and three inches.  He was now officially a fully grown giant and he could finally kiss his girlfriend, giantess Lindsey Smith.  Cody looked at himself in the mirror made of polished steel.  He didn’t look like the same boy that was getting beaten down by Chad Harper on a regular basis.  He was now tall, slender, and muscular.  Cody evolved faster than any other giant on record.

“Watch out world,” Cody said to himself as he flexed his arms.  He had on a pair of blue track pants sitting dangerously low on his hips.

Cody and Lindsey met in a clearing on the Gaea House property every morning.  Cody couldn’t wait for his giantess to see him.  He had a plan to sneak up on her when she wasn’t looking and that is exactly what he did. 

Lindsey sat in the clearing with her long legs in front of her.  All the giants and giantesses had a long lean slender appearance.  The older giants were a bit more board in the shoulders and muscular.  The giantesses all had sort of unnaturally long looking body that most supermodels would envy.  A few of the older giantesses were curvy though despite their long build but none were ever overweight or obese.

Cody put his hands over Lindsey’s eyes and she smiled.  Guess who and guess what?  Cody’s thoughts became fluent.  Cody moved his hands from her eyes and Lindsey turned around and smiled up at her giant.  Cody sits down and leans in for their first sweet and innocent kiss.  It felt like magic to Lindsey, it was everything and then some to her.  She looked into those healthy shining blue eyes as their foreheads meet.  “You’re right, Linds.  Good things do come to those who wait.  I guess you are no longer my ape girl,” Cody said breathlessly and with a smile.  Lindsey blushed.

“I’ll show you ape girl,” Lindsey said as she stood up and ran away.  Cody laughed and followed her in the early morning sunrise.  Lindsey ran the path to the Hester farm.  She then pulled off towards the lake, laughing the whole time.  Cody caught up to her and grabbed her, pulling her into his taller body.  They both laughed.  Lindsey then realized that Cody was now taller than her and she liked that feeling.  Cody was a little over a foot taller than her now, but in giant measurement a foot is no different than inches, so Cody only appeared a tad taller.

“My giantess,” Cody said to her as he touched her cheek.  Lindsey laughed and started pulling her dress up and ran into the water totally naked.  Cody thought nothing of her nudity like he wouldn’t have if he was still human, shame of their bodies disappeared with evolution.  Cody pulled off his track pants and followed in after her.  None of the humans are around this early in the morning to notice two nude giants at play in the water.

Cody found it strange that the lake he used to swim in, now barely came to his shoulders.  Lindsey splashed him and laughed then Cody got her back.  Both of them knew that they shouldn’t be there.  Dr. Gunderson and the others forbid the titan children to leave except to visit the Hester farm.

Little did Cody and Lindsey know that they were being watched from afar.  Derek and Chad Harper stood on a hillside with binoculars.  “He’s fucking massive now, Derek,” Chad said to his older brother.  “That fucker can’t even swim in the lake anymore.”

“No matter, Uncle Calvin wants up to keep an eye on them assholes for him,” Derek said.  “Even if that bastard Matthews is one of them now.”

“Jesus Derek!  That fucker could pound us both into the ground now,” Chad said to his older brother.

“Too bad Uncle Calvin beat the shit out of that pansy ass scientist he had working for him before making any more of that shit, besides it’s our job just to watch, there is no way in hell I’m going to confront any of them.  Especially not after that mob Uncle Calvin sent out.  That bitch giantess turned them all to damn near worthless.  It’s a good thing Uncle Calvin came up with these special glasses for us to wear,” Derek said, pulling out a pair of dark reflective sunglasses.  Calvin developed the glass after finding Derek a mindless zombie under the influence of a giantess.

“I’ve seen enough, although Matthews does have taste for a little piss ant,” Chad said, ogling Lindsey’s nude body.  “Too bad the girls at school don’t look like that.”  Derek gives his little brother a dirty look.
