Molly is waiting for you on your return.

Once The three lady's and you finish eating you return to your room, you find Molly setting at a desk writing. She seems to be looking over some papers and information when you return. You also find Stitch sitting at the table having some coffee, which is not every surprising considering Lisa said she would be returning.

You hear Stitch say to Molly when you come in, " So Alex, it seems has gotten bigger then he was before. My little one asked me to come and get new measurements, it sure is nice that I had not started on the work as of yet. I mean how could I when my assistance are busy getting busy? Plus it was giving me a bit of a break, but because of Max and how Alex is taking the time to look after Lisa. So she can feel some kind of bond with a male, I mean I know it's important for her. Much like it is for any child, or female at some point."

Molly of course keeps talking to her as you come in over her shoulder as if nothing changed, saying " Well, you know I don't know anything about him getting larger I was busy with work. I find it surprising that as of yet Alex has not been given any real work to do, I am wondering if it is more of a cooling off period. I mean I saw paper work saying that Freya had decided to be released from Alex's care. It seems she had only wanted a chance to have pups and well as you know having them with Alex has some special results more or less. So, Freya has been given rights to have few more normal rights then normal as will Lisa and my pup and others. It's one of the reason's I think it's nice that your letting Lisa spend time with Alex. Plus one more female to distract him is mostly going to keep him from humping someone new."

You of course shake your head on entering, and rub Molly on the head and say " I recent that, I don't just hump anything. Ask Petra, I have yet to mate with Abby."

Petra of course takes this cue and says " It's true and it's not like I am against it as I am with this CAT." she says as if to point out she resents that Pam is here.

Stitch of course then says " That does not explain how or if you like the presents of my little one here with you thou, Petra."

Petra just shakes her head as she sits down and says " Well, it did not help that when she showed up. Alex, was in the form of yuck I mean did he have to show up looking like that and I mean look at him he is larger then he was before. I mean that just complicates things." As if she is trying to say she disliked his cat form thou deep down she still felt the same for Alex.

Molly finally turns around and looks right at you and says " I guess Max, and Stitch was not fibbing when they said you had gotten bigger Alex. I got to say thou that piece of fur you had around your neck has turned into a full mane thou."

Petra barely spits out, " It was her doing" as she points at Pam.

Molly smirks and says " Her mother had been in the office the last few days, trying to work things out so that Alex could adopt her. Something to do with some kind of vision and a number of other things. Max had not been buying a piece of it til, it seems Alex came to him today as if acting strange talking in regards to what Pam's mother or the Elder had been saying. Also Max said he had seen that Alex had gotten larger on Carma, someone had called attention to the fact he was in Saber Cat form and all Max had told them was keep an eye on you in the hall's to see if it had any other affects."

You shake your head and say " well, it has one serious affect. I am unable to return to the size I use to be and I would now make a pretty good line backer for a football game or some other sport. I am now almost pushing the size of some of the tallest people on the planet mostly. Way to go, us! I might as well sign up for a circus at this point I could be the giant wolf man."

Petra looks at you for a second and then says " Your over reacting Alex, you don't need to play sports or go to the circus. You will be able to stay here and be or do what you like mostly, or at least that is pretty much what I heard from Abby and my mother as we talked on the way to class and to and from place to place."

Molly shrugs and says " Max is having a hard time deciding what Alex should do, if he is to close to the young Animorphs they tend to mature faster then they should. And if he is to close to mature Animorphs they tend to go into heat sooner then they should. Thou it's on an Animorph by Animorph example so it's random. And we have yet to see if he is in human form if he has the same major affect. We know like Pam here and some of the others who took an interest in him when he was here to pick an Animorph a large number of them had gone into heat but it had not affected the others."

Lisa even thou she tends not to wish to speak up voices," When we went to the Saber Tooth Cat habitat many of the females had gotten defensive as if they wanted to hurt or harm him well others seemed to try to calm them down."

Pam nods and says " In his wolf form many of the females did not like or would not recognize his right to be there, it has something to do with him being a male in Animorph form I think. But when he turned into a Saber Tooth Cat after a chant my mother did, well things got strange when he went to leave. Pretty much all of the females had taken the greatest of interest in him as if his response to my mothers chant had turned them all into lustful dogs. No offense to you or your daughters, or even you Alex. Honestly I like you the way you are."

You shrug and ask " I have no idea how to respond to that, honestly. I saw it and witnessed all of it and like many of the animal behaviors I witness around me I barely got understanding of it."

Stitch then says " I notice you tend to understand the Animorphs quite well, and more to the fact females. You give them space you give them rights, you distance yourself so you sometimes seem the dark and handsome type even if your not trying too. It's mostly one of the reason's Lisa here was taken with you."

Lisa just looks at her mother a second and then says " Thanks for telling him that, I could have done it myself at some later date in private!!"

You look at Lisa a second and then at the others and then add " Does anything I do look to private to you Lisa?" She looks around you a moment and then shakes her head. You nod in agreement, Stitch finally comes over to you and starts taking new measurements.

Pam then says " My mother, the Elder said almost the same thing. She said Alex, is different he is special. Said he understands are ways, and honors the ones of old even thou he knows little about them. She said that his form change was paying respect kinda. It was hard to make sense of really she had been talking about stuff like that since around the time I had meet Alex. She had also said she foresaw that the bear would have or make him return here and that I should not be upset. She saw many things, many had been said to Max but he was not sure what to believe til what he did know or understood. Happen to stand before him, strange things be happening."

Petra looks at her and says " You don't know the half of it, I mean I can turn into a human meaning I can mostly turn human and then into any animal form like Alex. But I like my form, but at the same time. Ah, this bothers me a lot I had been joking about this happening and then it happen."

Molly nods as Stitch is still taking measurements and says " It does complicate things a bit, we have to get her social security papers. As well as make false birth records and the fact she will not age like normal will affect a great number of things. Much like Alex being bigger then he use to be complicates things if he ever wishes to see his family or old friends it will be hard for him to explain it. Thou some of the medical people here suggest he starts with suggesting it's a thyroid condition. Thou it would not explain the fitness of his body mass and generally low body fat ration. Much like that of a strong lean animal, so it's a bit strange or hard to explain. And I know he can shift his size and hold it, but that could be tiring for him. So the fact is like I said it complicates things."

Everyone just nods as Stitch says " Yup, you done it now kid. You now measure 7'2" fact is you had gained almost a foot, and if the size and arms and general measurements suggest it you mostly gained over 100 pounds."

You shake your head and say " It feels like 100, and others say it looks like 100."

Stitch shakes her and says " It's mostly closer to 150 to 175, you really did gain some size on that change. And most of it seems to be how the muscle mass or density, you will notice it seems or you seem stronger then you might have been before. I can tell just from looking at you that this mostly the truth, so that is why you mostly gained more mass. The general weigh gain from the change may have been around 100 pounds but you gained 50 to 100 pounds in muscle mass. And since your human body wears it much like your animal body does. I have to say you mostly look pretty healthy. I mean you would not be huge, but you get what I mean, the size of your muscles fits your body size as a whole. And just looking at you it's easy to tell the fat is in the right places. It's the same for Molly thou, we both know when she returns to human she will look more like herself. Then you do, I mean your face you look the same. But you get what I mean."

You nod and say " You mean like the size difference it's one more thing you have to account for and one of the reasons you plan to make me kilts as well as pants. So that way depending on where I am and what I am doing I can change forms if need be?"

Stitch nods and says " I will get to work on it soon, I know you would not call me to you if it had not been important. I will start the base work, once I get the rest of the measurements tomorrow. I don't need the two assistance to do the work for three people, I know Petra and Abby need it as well. Thou I know the little one here still plans to make you something special. So I will deliver the first set of clothing, in two days. That would be shirt and kilt, belt and well I will look into getting shoes as well. Thou for now I figured you would be fine with just the clothing."

You nod as Stitch leaves and say " Thanks it's a huge help." You turn back to the others and say " So Molly your not bad about Freya are you?"

Molly shakes her head and says " I just wanted her to be happy, if it's with or without you that is on her."

You nod and ask " So it's ok that I effectively adopted Pam?"

Molly nods and says " Once again if it makes her happy who am I to stop it."

Petra then says " Then again it does not mean it makes me happy."

You shrug and say " I guess I can't make everyone happy so maybe I should stop trying?"

Petra then says " Or you could try harder!!!!"

Pam of course touches the little one on the shoulder and says " A good virtue is the one that can hold it's own without praise or suggested behavior."

Petra just looks at her a second thinking about it and then says " I see, so I guess this means you will be my teacher for a bit? To teach me to calm down maybe? Gain better control of my feelings?"

Pam shrugs and says " It's not a me or you thing it's an us thing." as she looks at you and Molly. She notices that Molly is nodding as if to say every bit helps.

You of course at some point rub each of them on the head for a bit, and hug and kiss and hold them before you work your way into bed, and each of the lady's find them selves in the bed next to you as they normally do. So it is Molly and Petra, next to you with Pam behind Molly to not upset Petra, and Lisa behind Petra because it just seems best this way. You all drift off to sleep like you had tried to do before.
