Dr. Donald Doctor’s Office:
Talia was nervous as Dr. Donald examined her. Dr. Donald’s nurse, nurse Lockwood takes several vials of her blood and gives her a shot. Dr. Donald puts her through a series of tests and does an ultrasound of her abdomen. She giggles from the cold lubricant and when the nurse moves the wand around. She was ticklish on her stomach and sides.

After Dr. Donald does the ultrasound, he takes several X-rays and an MRI of her body. The x-ray shows that Talia has a uterus and ovaries inside her body. As for her testicles, something didn’t feel right about them when Dr. Donald Doctor felt them. They were small, compared to the normal development of a teenager.

Also, Talia didn’t have an Adam’s apple either. He felt her chest area and felt the development of breasts. He determined she was slowly developing breasts and they would be fully developed by the time she graduated from high school.

By the time Talia was done with her medical exam, she was feeling tired and hungry. Her mother takes her out for an early lunch. While they are sitting at the restaurant, enjoying their meal. Talia looks towards her mother “Mom, what do you think is happening to me?”

“I don’t know, sweetie. None of my prenatal checkups showed anything strange about you.” Brenda remembers all the tests she was given when she was pregnant with Talia.

“Mom, do you think this will change things with the school and the school board?” Talia wonders because she was developing like a girl, would that change the rules so she could run on the girl's track team?

“It might, sweetie. We’ll have to get our lawyer on it.” Brenda wonders how this happened with Talia.

She knows as soon as she gets home, she’ll have to do some research about her daughter’s condition. In some way, she is thrilled that Talia was meant to be a girl. She always wanted a daughter, now she has one.

After lunch, Brenda and Talia do some window shopping. Brenda took the whole day off from work to spend with her daughter. She treats Talia to a spa day. She was friends with the owner of the spa they went to and they didn’t have a problem treating Talia like a natural girl.

Instead of making dinner, Talia and Brenda stop at their favorite pizza place and pick up some pizzas, wings, and cheesy bread. Talia looks at all the food they are taking home.

“Do you think we have enough, Mom?”

“Between, your dad and brothers, I think so. You’ve always been a light eater like me.” Brenda knew Talia was like her when it came to food. She wasn’t a big eater like her brothers.

“So, it seems all my strange behavior has a reason behind it, Mom.” Talia looks at her mother with a smile on her face.

Brenda smirks when Talia says those words “Who would have ever thought, that you knew what you should have been? You’re going to need to tell your psychologist Susie Lewin about what you have discovered.”

“I think she’ll be as surprised as we are.” Talia wonders what her counselor will think of everything.

When Brenda pulls into the driveway, she spots her husband’s and son’s pickup trucks. Her other son hasn’t gotten home yet. She helps Talia with the food they bought and heads into the house.

Connor and Ralph watch as Brenda and Talia walk into the house carrying food from their favorite restaurant.

“Looks like we’re having takeout tonight.” Ralph slaps his hands together.

“We thought everyone would enjoy it. Where’s Tommy?” Talia looks around for her older brother.

“He’s on his way. He gave one of his coworkers a ride home.” Connor knew his son gave two of their newest hires a ride home.

“Hopefully he’ll be home, in time to keep Ralph from eating all the food.” Talia looks over towards her second-oldest brother.

“Hey! I’m not that bad.” Ralph knew he and his father liked the same type of pizza. They were carnivores at heart.

Talia and their mother loved a bunch of veggies on their pizza. He and his father loved a lot of meat on their pizza. His older brother was a pepperoni and sausage pizza person. He didn’t like a lot of meat on his pizza. Now cheese, that was a different story.

“So, how did the doctor’s appointment go?” Connor looks towards his wife and Talia.

“The doctor discovered some things about Talia, that we didn’t know.”

“That there’s a brain up there in her head?” Ralph looks over towards his sister.

“No stupid.” Talia turns and sticks her tongue out at her brother.

“Kids, behave.” Brenda looks at Ralph and Talia.

“What did Dr. Doctor discover, sweetie?” Connor looks at his wife for an answer.

“Talia has both male and female reproductive organs. The problem is, that her male organs aren’t working properly. Her female organs are working perfectly, and this is causing her to develop like a normal teenage girl.”

“Mom, are you saying that Talia was born with both male and female organs?” Ralph looks at his mother.

“According to the x-rays Dr. Doctor did today, yes. Talia might have been born with male organs, but they aren’t working properly and that’s why she is developing like a teenage girl.”

Tommy walks into the house and smells pizza and wings. He heads towards the dining room and spots his family sitting at the dining room table.

“I hope you bought a large pepperoni and sausage pizza for me.”

“We did, Tommy.” Talia looks at her older brother as he walks into the dining room.

“Good.” Tommy sits down and grabs a paper plate.

Brenda looks at Connor “We’ll talk later.”

Connor nods his head and takes another bite from the pizza slice. He looks over toward Talia and wonders what that means for her now. He’ll do everything he can for his little girl.
