Make the Dad suit Dad again

The other Trish took off the suit of Paul Anderson as tenderly as nursing a babe. She clearly felt very strongly about fulfilling Paul's wishes and wanted all the best for him. As soon as she was completely stripped, she took the black and brown pens and that suit upstairs. It wouldn't do for Paul to wake up in the living room surrounded by his family. Marie (Jessica2) followed her upstairs to sooth her husband's worries and explain how the pens worked.

The rest of the family gathered at the door to eavesdrop on the conversation. It was all very quiet, save a few audible gasps of surprise. And, of course, the unmistakable ping of the pens whose light flashed under the closed door. A few minutes after Trish walked upstairs holding a skin of Paul Anderson like a precious babe, a new Trish O'Neil walked downstairs dragging Paul's skin like a used condom. The original Jessica followed them with two suits of Marie Anderson. Trish was beaming.

"Hey guys!" Trish laughed as she jumped onto the couch. "It's really great seeing all of you!" As the rest of the mix-matched group greeted Trish, she began to cry a little. But it was good tears. "I'm so grateful, I really am!" Trish professed to Claire who gave her old body a big hug. Everyone took turns meeting the new Trish. It seemed like everyone got what they wanted.

But then there was Marie and the other Jessica. Nobody wanted to steal Marie's life without offering her a trade, but she couldn't be trusted to understand the gift of these pens. She'd think they were an evil curse. Luckily, she'd have zero knowledge of being worn as a suit. So maybe she didn't have to know about the suits at all. Marie always complained that she'd been a better parent if her husband was more support of her needs and think about how she felt. Well, maybe that's exactly what they could do.
