My shoulders relaxed and the tension eased. “So, it’s not just us?”
“Us?” he asked incredulously.
Sinner and Hunter slowly turned to Rocco, their heads bowed in shame.
Rocco took a step back, running a hand over his face. “I’m seeing things. This isn’t real.”
“Then what the hell is happening?” Hunter cried. “I don’t want to be a woman!”
Rocco swallowed hard, setting his bag down. “Okay, let’s just take things one step at a time.” He scratched the back of his head, trying to wrap his brain around this. “Okay, so you’re a man, but you’re a woman. Do you have a vagina?”
“Yes,” I said, unsure of where this was going.
“Oh, thank God,” he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank God? Why thank God?”
“Well, it would be a lot harder to push a baby out of a penis.”
I almost passed out at the thought of having to do just that.
Rocco took a calming breath. “Okay, we can handle this. We’ll get the baby out and then we’ll work on figuring out how to get you back to normal.”
“Do you have a magic pill for this?” Sinner snapped. “Because I’m not seeing how you’ll suddenly change our biology!”
“Well, you woke up this way. Maybe we can put you in a coma or something, and when you wake up, you’ll be men again.”
Hunter stared at him for a moment, then exploded. “That’s your big plan! You’ll put us to sleep?”
“Do you have anything better?”
Pain ripped through my stomach and I bent over, gasping for air. “Oh God, it’s coming!”
“Let’s get you down on the ground. Sinner…uh…Cara, I want you to support him…her from behind. And Lola, I’m going to need a lot of towels.”
She snorted. “You actually believe this?”
“You don’t?”
She rolled her eyes and walked away.
“Ryan,” Rocco snapped, but he just sat there moaning and shaking his head. Rocco turned to Hunter, obviously not getting anything out of him. “Hunter, I need anything we could possibly need for delivering.”
“I don’t know what that is!” he cried. “I’m not Hunter anymore!”
“Fuck, this is a clusterfuck.” Rocco knelt down between my knees and muttered, “Okay, you can do this. It’s totally normal. Just another vagina, but with a man attached.”
His eyes widened as I felt the need to bear down. I screamed as loud as I could, gripping Sinner’s hand as I pushed. Rocco’s eyes widened and he shook his head. “Yeah, I’m out.”

Pain ripped through me and I sat up, rubbing my stomach as I breathed hard. “Oh God,” I moaned, clutched my stomach, then looked down in shock. My stomach was flat. I tossed off the covers in the dark, sure that I was imagining things, but I wasn’t. My stomach was muscular and completely lacking a baby bump.
I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom, laughing in relief when I saw my own face in the mirror. I had no boobs and no pregnant belly. I spun and looked at my ass, grateful that it wasn’t Maggie’s. As much as I loved her ass, I didn’t want to have it. And there were no more silky pajamas. I was just me in my sleep shorts. I slipped my hand down the front and gripped my hard length in my hand.
“Ah, it’s good to have you back.”
