----- Thursday

The day of the dreaded doctor's appointment had come. Julie's appointment wasn't until the afternoon so she got ready to go to work this morning.

We were eating breakfast. Rather, Julie was eating. My stomach was tied up in knots. I told Julie that I had already eaten before she got up. I lied and wasn't sure she was buying it, but she didn't say anything.

"Sam."

"Yes, dear."

"Nevermind."

I didn't push it today. That's pretty much how this week went. We both wanted to communicate but we just kept our mouths shut. We did a lot of hugging though. I'm sure that's the only thing that kept us going.

I could tell she was scared. I was keeping up the brave facade, however. I'm pretty sure she could see past it. Today was the day she would find out what was wrong with her, if anything. I'm sure whatever the doctor found out, if it were bad they could fix it.

"Hey, Julie."

"What."

"Today's a good day. The sun is out and the doctor will be able to make you feel better."

"Ok."

"So, be happy."

"I don't feel happy, Sam. How can you say that with all that's happened."

"Well, I've got you. That's all I need to be happy."

"Sam, your such a ..."

"Such a what?"

"I don't know. Just, thanks. Ok?"

"Ok, honey."

She left for work feeling a bit better I think. She took the BMW even though I knew I wouldn't be able to drive the pickup. I wouldn't see her, and probably not even hear from her until after she saw the doctor.

I couldn't work. I was on too many pins and needles. On a whim I called Jill. I thought of calling Erin first, but she hadn't known what took place this week. She did know about our doctor's appointments and I'm sure she would call, or drop by (if I'd pick her up that is) tonight.

"Hello."

"Hey Jill, it's Sam."

"Hi Sam. How's my little brother?"

Sheesh, I thought. Well, at least she's in better spirits then before.

"Not so good.", I said.

"What's wrong?"

"It's Julie. I'm worried about her. She has her doctor's appointment today you know."

"Yeah, I know. I hope they find out what's been bugging her. You gonna be ok Sam?"

"I don't know. I'm here by myself. I just needed someone to talk to."

"And you called me? How sweet. I'm honored."

"Yeah, you're like my big sister. Someone I can talk to.", I said. I could hear her snicker. I'm sure she liked that "big" sister comment.

"Why didn't you call Erin?"

"I thought of that, but I'll see her soon enough. Besides, you and I have already been through this bad part of Julie together. It will be easier to talk to you about it."

"Hey, you know what I'd do?", Jill said.

"What?"

"Go shopping!"

"Ha.", I laughed. "I guess you would say that. I can't go out though. Julie has the car."

"But you have the pickup."

I said nothing.

"Oh. Ohhhhh!"

"Yeah, now you understand."

"Oh, baby. I'm sorry. Hey, I brought mom to work. I have the car today. I could come over."

"I can't make you do that Jill."

"It's no problem. I'd love to come see you. It would give me an excuse to get out."

"Well, if it's ok."

"Sure. I'll see you in a few minutes."

And she was right, it was only a few minutes later that the car showed up in the driveway, not that I was looking for it. Ok, yes I was eagerly anticipating her arrival and kept checking out the window. I hoped she wasn't speeding.

I had the door open before she even got out of the car. We hugged. To be honest, it felt good to be hugging someone where your face was in their chest as opposed to their stomach.

"Come on in. Can I get you some lemonade?"

"Yeah, that'd be great."

"Do you want to go outside? It's sunny, ableit still wet."

"Sure."

Jill took her shoes off and we went outside and sat around the table. She was wearing shorts. Did I mention she has great legs too?

I had to wipe the chair and table off with a couple of towels since they were still wet from the rain. We sat and sipped our drinks.

"So."

"So.", we both said. We spent a few moments silent.

"How's your arm?", I said.

"It's ok. Why do you ask?"

"Julie pretty much mishandled you, dragging you by the arm and all that."

"Yeah. But it's not bad."

"About Sunday, um, I'm sorry you saw what you did. I hope you weren't grossed out or anything."

She looked away. "I shouldn't have been there. I really, really, regret doing that Sam."

"I know."

"I wasn't grossed out. I was ..."

"What?"

"Well, let's just say it was interesting."

"I can imagine."

"You two must have quite the imagination."

"We have to Jill. She's ..."

"So much bigger?"

"Yeah."

"Are you ok with that?"

"Sure. I worry that Julie's not ok with it though."

"Why?"

"No reason. I mean she hasn't said anything or acted like anything is wrong. It's just that she has grown sooooooo much."

"And you're shrinking."

"Don't remind me."

"Sam, it's getting pretty bad. I can tell." Then she got up and came to me. "Stand up, Sam."

My head was well below her shoulders.

"See Sam. You used to be this high on me." She put her hand up to her lips. I had to look way up to see them. "Where do you come up to on Julie?"

"I don't think my head is much above her belly button, Jill."

"See. That's why you guys have to use your imagination to make love. And that's why Julie was so mad at me. She must be self conscious about it."

"For sure. But it's more than that, Jill."

"I kind of wish someone would experiment like that with me.", she said, looking down.

"Oh, you want to get kinky, huh?" I was poking fun at her. We laughed.

"Well, with someone as small as you I guess it would have to be kinky. I wouldn't mind kinky really.", she said, winking.

"I still feel bad about what happened on Sunday, Jill."

"Catching you guys having sex, or what happened after?"

"All of it, but mostly what Julie did to you after. She's not in her right place."

"It's not your fault. If it wasn't for you I'm sure I'd feel a lot worse, Sam."

"I know but it doesn't make it all better. But besides all that, I'm scared what the doctors will say today."

"Try not to worry. I wish I could say something to make you feel better like the way you did with me."

"You're already helping just by being here, Jill."

More silence.

"Hey, you know what?", Jill suddenly said excitedly.

"What?"

"You know my friend from school?"

"No. I don't think I know any of your friends from school."

"Of course not, silly me. But she knows you."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. Her name's Sharon. She saw you singing at the coffee house."

"Oh? Have we met?"

"No. She's too shy. You should have heard her talking about you though."

"What did she say?"

"Well. We were talking and she was describing this dreamy guy she saw at the coffee house. She said that she loved his performances, and his songs, and he had a beautiful voice."

I was loving this.

"Then she started describing how cute and tiny this guy was."

"Yep, gotta be me.", I chuckled.

"Well I said, 'Oh my God, it's Sam?', and she said, 'Yeah, that's him. Have you been going to the coffee house too?'. Well of course I told her that you were my sister's boyfriend. 'The big one?', she said. 'Yeah, that one.'" There was something else that Jill wasn't telling me that I would find out later.

"That must look pretty funny to everyone else: Julie and me."

"Well, you have to admit, you don't see that too often."

"So true."

"Even you and I going out would look pretty peculiar.", she said, snickering.

"Yeah. I know.", I said, rolling my eyes.

"Oh, don't feel bad. Sharon wants to meet you.", Julie said, real sincere.

"Um, ok."

"You wouldn't mind, would you?"

"Of course not. You should come to the coffee house on Fridays sometime and introduce us. That is, if she really is too shy to introduce herself.", I said.

We talked a little while longer about nothing in particular. I was feeling better. I had two cups of coffee and two glasses of iced tea this morning so I had to go pee.

I excused myself, asking Jill if she needed any more lemonade. She didn't, but I wanted to be a good host anyway. Then I got up. I was barefoot too and halfway back to go inside I slipped on the wet deck and fell right on my ass.

"You ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine.", I said, picking myself up. I was ok; just a bruised ego. Jill started laughing.

"Yeah, Yeah. Laugh it up, fuzzball.", I said.

"You should see the back of your shorts.", she said laughing.

Just then I noticed it was getting cold back there; they had gotten wet.

"You want me to come in and help you change?", she teased.

"No!"

"Oh, come on. You helped me put my pants back on. Remember?"

"Don't remind me. How is your, um, butt?"

"I can sit down. I guess it's ok."

"It's not just ok; it's fine.", I said, playfully.

"Sam, you tease. You must be trying to get into my pants.", she said, smiling.

"Been there, done that. The image is permanently burned into my mind."

Jill laughed. "Your's is a cute little ass too you know." Now I wondered if she ever met Erin.

So I went inside, took care of business and changed my shorts.

When I got back out Jill had her legs stretched out on top of a chair with her head back and hand resting on the table holding her lemonade. Did I mention she had great legs too?

We talked a little while longer until our drinks were finished.

"Want lunch?", I said.

"Sure."

"What would you like? I have cold cuts, soup, that sort of stuff."

She thought for a little while and said, "Wanna go out? I can drive, if you'll pay."

I mulled it over for half a second and said, "Sure, why not."

It was still a bit early but we got ready and headed out. We weren't sure where we wanted to go. We stopped at a gas station and I used my card to fill up Mom's car.

We decided we didn't want to just go to the drive thru and bring it home -- we were going to eat out. We settled on a little Chinese food restaurant. I had my usual Szechuan Beef with rice and she had chicken and noodles.

When we were done, we went wandering around the little shopping center. She wanted to go into the game store, so in we went.

I'm not much into gaming, despite the fact that I program computers. We're not all geeks like that you know? But apparently, Jill was a gaming geek. I was really wondering if she hadn't already met Erin.

"Look! Space Alien Pod Racing GT 2 is out. Oh, I'd love to get that?"

"Have you finished playing Space Alien Pod Racing GT 1 yet?", I asked.

"We can't afford too many games: I don't have Space Alien Pod Racing GT 1. Actually, it's just called Alien Pod Racing, or just 'A', 'P', 'R'."

I wanted to get it for her, but wasn't really sure it was right. So, we spent a little more time inside then resumed our wandering around the shopping center.

We passed a jewelry store. I looked in. It got me thinking.

So the day went, and Jill brought me back home and then left. I told her to say hi to Mom for me. I thanked her for coming over; she thanked me for lunch. We hugged, face to chest. Then she left and I watched her leave.

I was alone again, but I felt much better than before. I'll have to repay Jill somehow.

Now was about the time Julie would be getting her exam. I was becoming more nervous again. I logged into my desktop and went through pictures we had taken of each other. This weird progression of our relationship -- and especially Julie's growth -- we had documented throughout this time in pictures.

Much of the pictures were of us together showing our height differences over the past couple of months. Some were racy, especially when we would measure our heights.

I liked the ones where I was kissing and sucking on Julie's tits while we were both standing. Those days are gone as she surpassed the point where my mouth could reach her juicy melons. Now she had to bend way down for that. Sometimes she'd make me get up on my toes, the little, I mean big nymphet teaser.

The latest ones of course was where her boobs were way over the top of my head. I could just reach the top of her tits with my arms all the way extended up. At times when looking up I couldn't see past her pair of tits to peer at her face. Even so, her face was so far above as to be in a different world. A world in the sky.

There were some selfies that Julie had taken and sent me. I saved all of these. They weren't racy. Not much anyway -- maybe a hard PG-13 here and there. But we were too afraid of hackers so I saved them on the computer and deleted them from the phone. Don't ask me where the steamy pictures of Julie are, ok? Rule 34 doesn't apply.

Still, I'd love to show Julie off to you. I had come to the realization that I didn't care if guys hit on her, or ogled her. I felt proud just to be in her presence. It didn't matter if she was ten feet tall; or two.

I couldn't understand what she saw in me. She was nearly twice my height now. I couldn't protect her, not that she needed it. If it came down to it, she would be the one protecting me. Things like that were irrelevant.

There was still a couple more hours before Julie was due home. I put the pics away and just did some browsing online.

The internet is analogous to my life: weird. "Weird" I was becoming comfortable with. There's good and there's bad too. I've had my share of bad this week.

Finally, Julie arrived home. I was waiting at the door when she came in. She was wearing a smile. This was a good sign.

"So, how did it go?", I said. "Wait. Let me get you something to drink first. Want some tea?"

"Yes. Hot tea would be good."

So I put on a pot of water and said, "You want to go sit outside? It's cleared up and the deck is dry now."

"Sure. That would be good. Lemme go change."

She came back out in sports bra and panties again. We waited for the water to boil, made a couple cups of tea then headed out.

"Ok, tell me how it went.", I said. I couldn't wait any longer.

"Well, they measured me."

"And?"

"I'm officially over seven feet.", she said giddily. "I"m seven feet two inches!"

Wow, she was still growing fast. We needed to measure her here real soon to see if ours agreed with the doctor's. We hadn't measured her at all this week.

"Their scale wouldn't go high enough."

"How'd they measure you then?"

"The same way we do."

"You were naked?"

"No, silly.", she laughed. It was good to hear her laugh. "But I was barefoot."

"Go on."

"The nurse did all the things like blood pressure and stuff."

"How was it."

"It was ok, I guess."

"Did you see the doctor?"

"Yes. She came in and did some more examining. She checked my ears, eyes, listened to my heart. You know, all those things."

"And?"

"We talked for a long time."

"So?"

"She asked a lot of questions. I had to tell her of Dad: his height and his temper. I told her about getting my period late too. All of those things."

"Tell me, what's the verdict?", I asked.

"We're not sure, but the doctor seemed comfortable about my growth spurt. She said that it could very well be that I'm just taking after dad. Usually, girls don't have a growth spurt this late, but it's not unheard of either."

Wow, that was a relief. I think.

"I asked about hanging on the inversion bench."

"Go on."

"She said she never heard of that and asked if I had any pain. I told her hanging felt good and she said that's good that it helped with the growing pains. And also that it might have stretched out my legs and back helping to make me taller."

Why didn't it work for me, I wondered. Life's not fair.

"What about, you know? The violent stuff?"

"She ordered a blood test and is going to let me know. She thinks it's hormones. Growing so fast might have created a chemical imbalance, or something like that. I can't remember exactly what she said. The blood test should tell her if anything is wrong."

It didn't sound like she had inherited the temper tantrums from Dad. "And did you get to the lab yet?"

"No, I'll do that tomorrow morning before work."

"Ok. Don't forget. I guess we won't really know for a while then, huh?"

"Yeah. We should know early next week though. I hope it's good news, Sam."

"It will be good news, Julie. I know it.", I assured her.

We both felt relief. Not complete though, I still had my exam tomorrow.

"Let's do something.", I said.

"What?"

"Let's measure you right now. Just to see if the doctor's office got it right. Ok?"

"Ok."

I think we both felt that this would get us back to our 'normal' that we had established that past couple of months. Not that anyone could call our live's 'normal' anymore.

We went to the living room and she stripped off to her birthday suit. I ran to get the step ladder and clumsily made my way back. She grabbed the tape measure and stuff from the office. We measured.

Yep. They were right 7'2", on the nose, we confirmed. That makes her officially a giantess, no?

"Do you want me to measure you, Sam?"

"I'm not sure. They'll probably measure me tomorrow."

"We don't have to. I understand."

"No, let's do this.", I said.

She bent way over to get the measurement as I stood against the wall staring into her crotch. This time she let her boobs smack into my face. I stood on my toes to kiss them, messing up the measurement.

"Hold still.", she said.

"Right. Like that wasn't on purpose." She giggled but we got serious again and got a number: 4'6".

I hadn't lost any more height. Julie was still more than two and a half feet taller though. Like I said before, I didn't care. And Mr. Happy was speaking up again.

I hugged her, my eyes below her belly button and arms barely around her hips enough to reach her butt cheeks. We went to bed early that night and made love for the first time in almost a week. I was hoping my doctor's visit would go as well.


----- Friday

My appointment was in the morning. I took the day off. Julie wanted to come with me but I made her go to work; in the pickup.

"If you come with me they'll think you're my mom and they'll send me over to pediatrics.", I told her. She took me seriously, until I laughed. She didn't laugh too hard though. I suppose she really did see me as a child. And why not? Wouldn't you see someone who's head were at to your waist as a child?

The visit went like Julie's. There was measuring (yep, 4'6" and only 82 lbs), poking, prodding, taking pulses and BP, etc. Finally, I got to talk to the doctor.

"So, what brings you here today, Mr. Cook?"

I know what you're thinking. They named me after the singer. I don't think my parents are that worldly. Except, Dad did like music, so who knows.

"I, um, have been shrinking."

"Oh, my. When did you notice this?"

"It's been happening over the past two or three months, I'm not totally sure when?"

"I see. Let me look at something."

Then he went looking through is paperwork.

"How tall were you before?"

"Four foot, ten inches, I'm pretty sure."

"I see. It looks like you're 4'6" now. Four inches. That's a pretty big loss for you young man."

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"No. It could be any number of things. We'll need to figure this out."

I had a worried look on my face.

"Don't worry. It's probably nothing. Sometimes people lose a little height later on in life. Not usually this much, and not usually at your age though. Let's see, you are ... 22 years old, is that right?"

"Yes."

"Ok. It may be unusual but could still be within norms. I'm going to order some labs for you. Can you get to the lab today to have them draw some blood?"

"Sure, I think I can make it."

"Good. Good. Hang on a second." He left then came back a couple of minutes later.

After a few sheets of paper were filled out he gave them to me. "Here. Take this to the lab and they'll draw some blood. We'll know more when the results come back."

"When will that be?"

"It shouldn't be more than a week. And I want you to schedule a followup appointment with me late next week. Alright?"

"Ok."

I settled up at the desk, made the followup appointment for Thursday and started home. I went to the lab, and had blood drawn.

I didn't want to be alone but Julie wasn't due home until this evening. I gave Jill a call again.

"Hey, how's it going?, she said.

"I don't know.", I replied over the phone. I'm not sure I sounded all that confident over the phone. Jill detected this.

"Are you at home?"

"No. I just got out from the doctor's office, I'm on my way home now though."

"Ok."

"I just wanted to talk to someone. Julie's at work."

"Ok. We can talk."

"Can I come by and see you?"

"Sure."

I was becoming real close to Jill. I showed up and we went to their living room.

We had a discussion about the doctor's visit. She could tell I was shaken up. I didn't really know anything from the doctor's visit, but I knew the doctor was concerned. He didn't say as much, but I could tell from the tone of his voice.

We talked of other things. She was trying to get my mind off of the doctor's visit. It was working.

"Hey, are you going to Mike's tonight?"

"I don't think I feel up to it Jill."

"I can introduce you to Sharon. It would do you good to get out."

"I don't know. I'll talk to Julie. If she wants to I guess we'll go."

"Well, let me know. I want to go too. You can pick me up right?"

"Yeah. Julie would be with me though."

"Oh, I hadn't thought of that."

"Have you forgiven her for, you know?"

She looked down. "No. She hasn't talked to me since then."

"What if she does? And if she asks you to forgive her?"

"That depends on her, I guess. I'm still a little sore about that. Physically and emotionally."

"Would you like me to rub some more lotion again on those pretty little butt cheeks of yours?", I said, smiling.

"You little scoundrel."

"But I'm a sexy scoundrel. You said you like my butt."

We both laughed. It felt good.

"Look,", I said, "you know Julie saw the doctor yesterday, right?"

"Yeah, I should have asked. How did it go?"

"Well, they don't know everything yet, but I think she's ok. She probably has some chemical imbalance and that might explain her bad behavior."

"Sam. She reminded me of Dad Sunday. I was really scared."

"She is kicking herself over what happened, Jill. I told you what happened Wednesday night, right?"

"No. What happened?"

Oh boy. I repeated that story to her. Her response was "Wow. Just wow."

"I'm sorry, Sam. Maybe I should go see Julie.", she said.

"No. She should come see you.", I said. "I tell you what. We'll come get you tonight and maybe you two can talk it out together in private, if you want."

"You're coming then?"

"Sure.", I said. I didn't think it would be too hard to get Julie out tonight. It would do us both good.

"I'll give Sharon a call tonight and make sure she's going to be there."

"Cool."

I left to go home, but I made a stop at the game store and picked up Space Alien Pod Racing GT, both 1 and 2. And I picked up a gaming headset -- I noticed Jill's was broken. And I did a little more shopping.
