Baby for Hire! (Chapter 2)

"I don't understand..." Jacob said unsurely, and slightly fearfully. What was it exactly these women were expecting of him?
"You mean, you're not a baby for hire?" Caroline asked, her gaze dropped to the floor with rejection. 
"There is no such thing as a baby for hire!" Jacob said in disbelief. He couldn't believe he was actually having this conversation. "What do you even want of me?"
"We want you to be our baby, Jacob." Gemma said honestly. "We want someone to look after and care for and cherish and love, but we don't want to go through all the tedious legalities of adoption. We thought we'd been waiting for someone like you to come along, but I guess even that seemed too good to be true..." Gemma's eyes were welling up, and she looked at though she might cry. 

Jacob felt awful. These women had obviously built themselves up to this. They'd been so excited and no doubt broody. Sure, this was a weird thing for someone to do. But who was he to judge? He'd just been kicked out of his house for treating his mother like a piece of shit.

"I guess I could give it a go..." Jacob said reluctantly, not entirely sure what he was getting himself into. And besides, he said he wanted to get a job. A 'Baby for Hire' was still a job, right? 
"You will?" Gemma smiled, and it was so warm and so genuine that Jacob was sure he must have been making the right choice. 
Caroline leapt forward and held Jacob in a tight embrace, and Gemma joined her. And suddenly, with these two gorgeous women holding their bodies close to his, this didn't seem like such a bad idea.

"So, I'm guessing you want some 'terms and conditions' with this, right?" Caroline said as she came back into the living room with a small box in her hands. 
"I wouldn't mind some, in all honesty." Jacob laughed nervously. "This isn't something you get asked to do every day." 
Caroline smiled and nodded. "I completely understand, Jacob. But hopefully we can clear a couple of things for you." 
"We want you to be our baby, Jacob." Gemma began. "We want to look after you and feed you and tuck you in at night and read you stories and be your mommies." She said honestly, and for some reason that made Jacob less weirded out by it. 
"So, I'm going to be living here all the time?" Jacob asked, his eyes lighting up a little. Since his mother kicked him out he found himself longing for a 'motherly touch'.
"You can stay with us as long as you want." Gemma said warmly, grabbing Jacob's hand and squeezing it tightly. "You'll be our baby, and we'll look after you as long as you stay with us." 

The idea made Jacob feel warm and fuzzy inside. Living with these two for as long as he wanted? It sounded like a dream. Sure he'd have to be their 'baby' (he wasn't entirely sure what that entailed) but that sounded like a small price to pay for free food, lodgings and getting to ogle these two goddesses for as long as he wanted. 
"Let's do it." Jacob said finally before hearing any more. "I'll be your baby for hire." 
The two women jumped out of their chairs excitedly and hugged eachother tightly. Jacob had a cheeky look downwards to check out both of their jiggling asses. 

"So first things first," Caroline said as she opened the small box in front of her. "We're going to need you to take this." 
Jacob was presented with a small pill, no bigger than a skittle. 
"What does this do?" He asked, fiddling with it in his fingers. 
"This," Caroline said with a wildness in her eyes. She was excited. "Will help you become our baby. And I don't want to tell you anything else, or it'll ruin the surprise."
Jacob regarded her warily.
"Will it hurt me at all?" 
Caroline took his hand and held it tightly in hers, looking him deeply in the eyes. "I promise you it won't hurt you." 

Despite his reservations, Jacob knocked back the pill and waited, waited for anything. There were no sensations or feelings or... Anything! 

"It doesn't seem to be doing much..." Jacob said. But as the words escaped his lips, he felt a lurch in his stomach. "Caroline? Gemma? What's happening to me?" Jacob stood up unsteadily. It felt like the world was whirling around him. The two girls hugged eachother again, before looking at Jacob as he swayed this way and that. 
"This is it, Caz." Gemma said in excitement. "Our little baby!" 

Jacob was confused. Why weren't they helping him? What was happening? He felt himself dropping lower and lower to the floor. Was he collapsing? In slow motion? No, he couldn't have been... He was still standing upright. Wait... No! He was shrinking! 
"Help me!" He screeched as his body got smaller and smaller. He receded down into his clothes, which were now like a tent to him. His arms shrunk up his sleeves, and his legs became thin and tiny in comparison to his huge baggy trousers. 

His shrinking slowed eventually, and by then he stood no more thigh-height to Caroline and Gemma. They towered over him like goddesses. Or, now that he thought about it, they towered over him like Mother's towered over their children. 
"There's our baby!" Gemma said as she grabbed the terrified, naked boy out of his pile of clothes and lifted him in her arms like he weighed no more than a few bags of sugar. She held him tightly to her breast and stroked his hair affectionately. 
"Well, Baby Jacob," she cooed. "What's say we get a diaper on you?"
