Surprise Offer 2 - Chapter 7 of 45

	Surprise Offer 2: is a direct continuation of the story about Lily and her ‘brother’ Lance. Can she find acceptance and her place in the world as Lily instead of Lance? Emotions run high as Lily’s new best friend and ‘adoptive’ family members move things forward at lightning speed. Can she handle it all? How will a surprise just before Thanksgiving change everything? Lily and Sammie are back, ready to take on the world with pigtails and dancing, in a way only ten-year-old little girls can do.

Previously:

“Ouch!” Lily exclaimed.

“I barely touched you,” Sammie protested, looking at her friend.

“My nipples are extremely sensitive today, and the area around them itches worse than my eczema.”

Sammie quizzically looked at her bestie, “Wait, you have sensitive and itchy nipples, cramps, and constipation?”

“Yes?” 

Sammie asked, “Would you describe the cramps and constipation in the front or back of the body?”

Lily explained where the pains were on her body. She also described how it felt to her best friend. 

Sammie thought for a minute before her eyes went wide, “Wait, you also had cramps during Halloween, right? Which was almost a month ago.” 

Lily nodded at her friend. 

Sammie didn’t like this one bit, “MOMMIE! MOMMIE!”

Heather Berger came running in from the general direction of her salon. Once she saw there was no blood or broken bones, she chewed out Sammie for calling her just as her client was leaving. With reprimands out of the way, Heather took a deep breath and asked, “What, Samantha, was so urgent that you felt you had to interrupt me with a client?”

Sammie said, with worry in her voice, “Lily has period pains, a headache, and sensitive nipples.”

After a pause, Heather sat down and smiled at her naive child, “That is impossible. Lily doesn’t have the body parts needed for a period. Tell me what you feel, Lily, please.”

Lily explained again what and where her pains were. Heather shook her head, confused. They had just dealt with Samantha’s first period six weeks ago. This definitely sounded like period pains, but this was biologically a boy who shouldn’t have period pains.

Sammie reminded her Mommie, “Remember, she was complaining about cramps around Halloween.”

Heather did the mental math. It was a little short, just over three weeks, but that could have been the end of a period, or timing can be off for a girl’s first few periods. Heather said, “I need to call Susan. Samantha, please put some of your anti-itch cream that we got you on Lily’s chest.”

Sammie ran upstairs. Meanwhile, Lily was grabbing her waist while sitting down.

“Hey, Susan, come over here pronto. It is crucial.”

Sammie had returned and rubbed some of her cream on her friend's chest area. After a few minutes, Lily said, “My chest doesn’t itch anymore.” Sammie told her friend it was because of the cream she put on.

The doorbell soon rang, and after Mrs. Berger left to answer it, the two older ladies walked back into the room.

Susan asked her daughter, “Are you ok? You look in pain.”

Heather said, interrupting the neighbor girl as she was going to start talking, “No, Lily is not okay. She has a headache, nipples are sensitive, chest itches, and pains down below that any girl would describe as period pains.”

Susan exclaimed, “My little girl is growing up! … Wait! … That is impossible.”

“Exactly why I called you over,” Heather stood up. “Would you be okay if I give her some Children’s Motrin?”

“Please do,” Lily’s mother said, as she tried to process everything. “She needs to see a doctor immediately.”

Heather went to get the Motrin. Meanwhile, Susan was concentrating on her phone. 

As Heather was giving Lily the Motrin, Susan said, “I can get her in at 11:30 tomorrow if I use the other doctor in the practice. It can’t really be what it looks like, for that’s impossible, but something strange is going on. If it is the impossible, it can’t be healthy. That menstrual fluid has to go somewhere.” 

Lily was just hanging her head. She felt guilty of something. 

Susan looked at Heather, “I will take the girls to school tomorrow. Plan on picking them up. I need to tell the office about her appointment anyway.”

Sammie’s Mommie acknowledged the instructions.

After some further thought, Susan voiced one of her ideas out loud, “That would explain yesterday.”

Heather asked, “Yesterday?”

Susan elaborated, “Yesterday Lily was a grouch one minute and crying the next minute.”

“Oh, yes, it would if what we think is going on is true. I’m just not sure how it can be true. Girls, ballet practice is over, at least for Lily,” Sammie’s Mommie got down in front of Lily. “Sweetie, go up to your bedroom and change, please.”

Lily followed the instructions and removed her leotard and tights upstairs in ‘her bedroom.’ She found a pink sweatshirt with her school mascot on it lying on the bed. She also found overalls with a flower on the bib. She walked to Sammie’s room across the hall, where her friend was also dressing, “There are no socks.” 

“Catch,” Sammie said, taking socks out of her drawer.

The two friends went downstairs to the family room. Lily's chest wasn’t itching anymore since the cream was applied. Her cramps and headache had almost disappeared since she took the Motrin. She still felt constipated, though.

Lily’s Mommie was still here, and it sounded like she was talking to Lily’s Daddie, who had to work late today. The daughter's pains and condition were discussed. The emergency doctor’s appointment was mentioned.

“No, Tom, I don’t think she needs to go to the emergency room or urgent care. It can’t be what it looks like, no matter how much Lily may want it to be.” …

“Yeah, I’ll keep a close eye on her for the rest of the evening.” …

“Sure, here she is.”

The phone was handed to Lily. “Hello, Daddie.”

“How are you feeling?”

“My biggest pain at the moment is the constipation. Sammie’s Mommie gave me something that has helped with the other stuff.”

“That’s good, Princess,” Daddie said. “We have to see what the doctor says.”

“Yes, Daddie. I feel guilty.”

“What do you mean, guilty?”

“I am causing so much trouble.”

“Your health is of utmost importance. You are not guilty of anything.”

“Ok, Daddie, I will give Mommie back her phone.”

After handing the phone back, Lily leaned into Sammie and watched a Christmas special. Lily’s Mommie ended the call with Daddie. After starting a conversation on her phone with Granny, Susan got up and headed for the kitchen. It sounded like she was being very vague with Granny. The young girl just enjoyed the cuddling with her bestie. Her worried best friend also attended to her until they had to part for bed.

Sammie climbed into her neighbor’s car next to her best friend, “Lily, how are you feeling?”

Wearing the Lance costume, Lily grunted while holding her waist, “Mommie just gave me something for the cramps. But I am still constipated, actually even more so. And my chest itches like the dickens.”

“If, and that is a big if, you are having a period, Princess, the blood is probably collecting inside of you, which probably would explain the constipation,” Lily’s Mommie explained while she was starting the car.

“I can’t take care of that, but I can take care of your chest,” Sammie removed her anti-itch cream from her backpack. “Sorry, I am going to fondle you a bit, Bestie.” 

The best friend proceeded to put her hand up Lily’s shirt to spread the cream on both sides of the chest. Meanwhile, Lily’s face was turning bright red. She wasn’t arguing with her best friend because yesterday proved this stuff worked wonders on her chest. She was just embarrassed that it was happening in front of passing cars.

When they arrived at the school, all three went inside. The two students went to the classroom, and Mommie went to the office. The best friends sat at their regular table, and Lance tried to hide that he was holding his waist.

The classroom phone rang. Mr. Conner answered it before saying, “Lance, your Mom is here for your doctor’s appointment.”

The hidden girl went to the office with her ‘brother’s’ backpack before joining her Mommie out to the car. They were soon at the doctor’s office. 

Mommie said to the receptionist, “We are here for Lance Vanderbilt, March 27, 2005. He has an 11:30 appointment.”

The receptionist looked at her computer, “Your normal family doctor, Doctor Kendrick, is not able to be seen today. We have you seeing Doctor Webster today.”

“We understand. This is an emergency appointment, so we are fine with that.” 

The receptionist hands a clipboard over, “Please fill this out.”

The two Vanderbilts sat down, and the younger one entertained herself by looking at a Seventeen magazine. 

A nurse said by the door after a while, “Lance.”

When Lance looked up, he smiled. He may be going to a new doctor, but Nurse Natalie was the same. The two Vanderbilts walked to the nurse, who led the small group to a scale. She invited Lance to step on the scale, where his height without his shoes was taken before they were led to an exam room. 

After getting the pint-sized ten-year-old on the exam table, Nurse Natalie took the patient's blood pressure, pulse, and temperature vitals. The information, including Lance’s 40-pound weight and 48.5-inch height, was entered into the computer. Turning to the mother, Nurse Natalie asked the reason for the appointment. 

“My child has sensitive nipples, itching chest, cramps, a headache, and constipation.”

Nurse Natalie asked, “How long and where is the constipation?”

“Yesterday, we came in as quickly as possible,” Mommie answered.

Lance pointed to where the constipation was, “It feels here on my body.”

The nurse stated, “Doctor Webster will be in soon.”

Lance sat on the examination table, kicking his feet back and forth while waiting for the doctor. He was holding his waist while this was going on. They probably waited about 15 minutes before the doctor walked into the room.

After introducing himself, he said, “I am sorry you are feeling unwell, young lady. Unfortunately, period cramps will be a monthly feature for most of your life. All I can suggest is a Motrin to help with the cramps, and some cream for your itchy chest. I am concerned, though, about you starting your periods at such a young age. You are, what, seven or eight years old?”

Lance … Lily’s face fell because she realized this doctor wasn’t going to help her.

Mommie spoke up, “Doctor, I know you see an androgynous little girl in front of you, but will you please look at the age, gender, and name on the chart?”

The doctor looked at the chart before his eyes grew huge, and he exclaimed, “We need more tests! The nurse will be back!” He proceeded to run out of the room, saying, “Natalie!”

After about five minutes, the nurse poked her head in the door before saying, “The doctor has ordered an ultrasound. Please strip. You can leave your underwear on for privacy.”

After Lily stripped down to her white daisies on a yellow background panties, and socks, she resumed kicking her feet nervously. The nurse soon returned, rolling a cart into the room. She turned around and spotted the panties. “Well, Lance, you look like you won’t be too upset to receive the news of whatever we find. Do you have a female name?”

The new girl meekly responded with, “Lily.”

“Before we continue, are you cramping right now? Is your chest itchy right now?” Nurse Natalie asked.

“Before school, I had some Children’s Motrin and my best friend put some of her anti-itch cream on me,” Lily stated. “But yeah, the cramps are getting worse, and my chest is a little itchy.”

The nurse looked at the clock before saying it was probably too soon for Motrin, but she would check with the doctor. Nurse Natalie left and soon returned, “The doctor approved this anti-itch sample for you, Lily.” 

Nurse Natalie spread some of the cream on the little girl before handing Mommie the cream and then helped Lily lie down. 

“Lily, this lotion will be cold,” Nurse Natalie started to spread the ultrasound lotion on the girl's torso. She pulled the panties down a bit to expose most of the crotch and spread more lotion down there. She began running the ultrasound wand over most of the lower torso, pressing a button on the machine in several key spots. She then ran the wand down the young girl's crotch. 

While cleaning up the young girl, Nurse Natalie started the most challenging part of the appointment, “You have been such a brave and strong little girl, Lily. There is one more thing we need to do before the doctor comes back in to talk to you. He wants to run some blood tests and a chromosome test. Can you be a big girl for me while I collect two vials of blood?”

Lily grimaced but nodded as she was helped to sit up. She then fed the vampire twice. The nurse took the vials and the ultrasound machine. 

Before leaving the room, Nurse Natalie stated, “Doctor Webster will be back after he reviews the ultrasound.”

Lily returned to kicking her feet back and forth in a nervous movement while she waited for the doctor. She was still holding her waist because the constipation seemed to be getting worse by the minute. She really wished she had brought that magazine into the room with her. It would have given her something to do instead of just staring at Mommie’s worried face.

Eventually, Doctor Webster entered the room, “I return to my previous statement, well, young lady. I am informed that you also go by Lily, so I am going to go with that.” 

Pulling up the ultrasound images on the computer screen, Doctor Webster continued, “Lily, these are your left and right ovaries. This is your uterus and cervix. And this is your vagina, or what we can see of it. Most of it is shrouded by an unhealthy pool of blood.” 

The doctor stopped talking when he saw the confused expression on his preteen patient. 

“Those are all the internal organs of a girl, Sweetheart,” Doctor Webster explained while patting her on the head.

Lily was shocked looking at the ultrasound images. She wanted to be a female, but now this doctor is telling her she has all the internal organs of a female. So, by her mental math, that means she was always a female. 

The doctor addressed Mommie, “I am hoping you don’t have a problem with having a daughter because your son never existed.”

Mommie smiled at Lily, “For the last month, our son has only appeared at school and sometimes at church. So, we are quite fine with having a daughter.”

The doctor turned back to Lily, “You are sitting in front of me in panties. I am going to guess you are quite fine with having female puberty.”

Lily nodded her head rapidly.

Mommie asked, “What did the chromosome test show?”

“Too soon for that. I hope the lab can be done with it by tomorrow night,” Dr. Webster paused for a moment while trying not to show how concerned he was. “Lily, I’ve got pictures of your insides, but I also need to look at your private parts on the outside. Can you please remove your panties and put your feet in these stirrups after lying down?” 

Lily looked over at her Mommie, who was smiling at her and nodding in approval. Reluctantly, she followed the doctor's instructions, and the little girl was soon lying down and putting her feet in the stirrups. 

After putting on some gloves, the doctor adjusted the stirrups to expose the girl’s crotch. “The first glaring thing I see is that there is no scrotum sac or testicles.”

Author's Notes: Comments and questions are always welcomed -- Thanks Becky

This story is complete, though we’re still wrapping up the proofreading process. I plan to post a chapter every Wednesday.

Four of the six short stories featuring side characters are already finished and will be released as we reach their places in the timeline. I’m currently writing the fifth side story while continuing to proofread this one.

In addition, I am also currently writing a Katie Ann Universe Christmas Story. Though the closer we come to Christmas, the more likely it will not be done by Christmas. I might prove me wrong, and get it done by Christmas. Plans are also in for a sixth side story and a final chapter for KA.

As for Surprise Offer Book 3, the research is done, but I’m planning to take at least one story break from the series before starting it.
