"Dad! Dad!" Andy said heading into the office.

Running in he startled his dad who had a burger and fries on his desk. Even more surprising was Nicole sleeping in the corner.

"Okay? What's going on?" Bob asked as Nicole lifted her head up.

"You mean you haven't noticed or heard all the noise going on?" Andy asked.

"There was some kind of ruckus going on while I was working. Part of the reason Nicole came in here. Just figured when I heard your mother and Misty maybe it was just her and Andrea getting at it again."

"Not this time." Andy said leading his dad out as he showed him the four in Dana's room.

"Oh my...How did this happen?" Bob asked. "It's the berries I grew in the backyard. You never had any?" Andy asked. "While your sister tried to push it I let your mother have mine. You seemed nervous about them being eaten, and you know I prefer peanut butter with my biscuits over jelly."

"Well the berries have turned out to be addictive and its making them swell." Andy said.

"How do we fix them?" Bob asked as the four asked weakly for water. "Supposedly we just need to juice them and the color should fade in a couple days Frankie sai..." Andy said before realizing Mary might ask for water. Handing Alex off to his father Andy fumbled with his phone and called Frankie.

"Were you about to warn me about water?" Frankie asked. "How did you.." Andy said. "I figured it out already. The berry not only causes swelling but it appears to make the cells very responsive to water." she said.

"Just like the plants they grow from." Andy said. "How big did Mary get?" He asked. "Big enough that rolling her to the juicer is now an issue."

"She's too big to even get up the stairs." Frankie said. "Andy...you've grown something that could cause the apocalypse. Forget protecting the berries...get a truck or something, dig up those plants and go far far away with them."

"Okay. Dad and I will work on that when Andrea and Lidia can be rolled away." Andy said. "No. Do it now, because we have another problem. A storm that was supposed to come in a couple days has picked up speed. It's likely to hit by tonight, and it will be a hell of a downpour."

"Oh..." Andy said as he hung up. "Dad, get a shovel, we need to dig up those plants."
