Considering the drugs they were pumping...her with, Alan fell asleep soon after eating dinner. She woke up the next morning to find the sun peeking through the window and that the IV had been removed from her arm. “They’re probably weaning me off the drugs.” Alan had a few moments to herself before someone came into the room. She wasn’t at all surprised to see that it was Rachel. “Good morning, Alan; I’ve got some breakfast for you.” revealed Rachel as perky as ever.
“Morning Rachel. Have you been here all night?” asked a beaming Alan.
“Yeah; I requested to be the sole nurse for you once you came out of the coma.” Seeing the concerned look on Alan’s face, Rachel said, “Don’t worry; I sleep when I can. How are you doing?” “I’m doing fine; considering everything that’s happened to me.” answered Alan, still feeling peeved.
“I wish I could say it gets better.” Smiling, Rachel said, “But take it from a life-long girl; periods are no fun.” she explained. “Surprisingly that piece of information is not making me feel any better about having them.” declared a pouting Alan. Sighing for a moment, Alan decided to enquire “Have my parents come by yet?”
“Your mother is outside; she’s been here for about an hour.” Rachel took a few months to compose herself before adding, “You may be interested to know that they...legally changed your name this morning.” “Without my opinion?” exclaimed a frustrated Alan. “Geez; first I’m made a girl against my will and now I’ve got a new name that I didn’t even choose.”
“Your mom thinks you’d like this name. Your new name is Cameron Elizabeth; after your aunt.” reported Rachel, a small smile dressed across her face. A tear trickled down Alan’s face as she thought about her Aunt Cameron. Aunt Cameron was Ally's mother who had died several years earlier. Turning to Rachel, Alan...Cameron expressed to her, “I-I like that name.”
It wasn’t long before Mom was standing by Cameron’s bedside. “Hi sweetheart.” “Hi mom good to see you.” “Good to see that your mood has improved.” she noted. “Why don’t we give you a sex change against your will; then you can see why I was in such a bad mood.” Cameron retorted, less than thrilled with his mother's remark. “Bri...Cameron; the doctors did what they thought was best.” Pausing, Mom continued, “Believe me; we weren’t happy when we found out they’d turned you into a girl; but the procedure was too far along to reverse without leaving your sexless.”
“I get that, I really do.” Sighing again, Cameron stated, “I just would...have appreciated some input.” Mother and...reluctant daughter talked for a while; catching Cameron up on everything she’d missed while in a coma. “Before I forget; Melanie is looking for bridesmaids for her wedding.” Pausing, Mom said, “She wants to keep it to three; so she was hoping you, Sandra and Allison would like to be bridesmaids along with Melanie’s future sister-in-law.”
“Geez; I’ve only been a girl for a day and my cousin wants me in her wedding.” Pausing, Cameron said, “I’ll have to think about it.”
“She figured as much; take your time.” answered Mum.
“I get that Aaron is too freaked out by all of this to visit; but it would be nice if Megan would stop by...” “She’s stopped by on occasion; but I wouldn’t count on her being a sympathetic shoulder to cry on..”
"Why not?" gasped Cameron, shocking on her girlfriend's reaction. Mom shook her head sadly before answering. “A few weeks after the accident, her father was fired and arrested on corruption charges. He’s serving a 15 year sentence because he allowed the plant to operate with appalling safety violations, with the possibility of parole in 6 for good behaviour”
“I don’t like where this is going.” admitted a concerned Cameron. “Megan blames you for her father’s troubles; saying that you shouldn’t have leaned over the railing in the first place.” Pausing, Mom said, “With that plus the pregnancy, Megan is probably the last...” “Wait a minute! Megan’s pregnant!?” interrupted a horrified Cameron. “Yeah; she found out about two months after the accident.” Sighing, Mom said, “She started seeing another boy soon after; she claims he’s the father but your dad and I think it’s you.”
“Oh great; not only do I find out I’m a girl, but I may also be a father in the next few months! Now I really regret not giving sperm donations!” Pausing, Cameron requested, “Could you at least try and get her to visit; I’d like to talk with her.” “Okay; but don’t be surprised if she declines.” she responded. "Um Mum, I don't think I can live with my roommates now. I mean it would be too weird!" lied Cameron. "Sandra and Cassandra said you could move it with them, so don't worry!" she answered, happily. Cameron gave her a smile, but groaned internally. Cassandra Levinson had been her high school ex. This wasn't going to be fun!  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
