Ella makes a discovery

Two months later, Nathan and Ella lay in bed, short of breath, basking in afterglow. Ella can’t stop smiling, still over the moon at the feeling of warmth Nathan fills her with. The college boy holds her tight placing a warm kiss on her forehead.

“Hey Ella, I don’t want to be weird or anything, but your not pregnant are you?”

Ella snuggles in close as the words slowly float though her head. Suddenly it strikes her, is she pregnant? How would she know? She realizes she had never even considered the possibility.

“W-why do you ask lover?”

“Well, unless I missed it, you haven’t had a period since we started fucking. You are taking something aren’t you?”

“Y-ya of course I am. I-i don’t get them. . . cause of the pills”

Ella isn’t sure if she is lying or not. Could she even get pregnant, she used to be a guy after all. For a while she dreaded turning back, so much so that she didn’t even consider what would happen if this was permanent.

“Ahh good to hear, fuckin’ I can’t handle any of that shit. You a damn good fuck baby but I’m not about getting you knocked up” he chuckles to himself but Ella misses the humor of it, now horrified at the possibility.

The next morning she gets up early, heading out with the excuse of getting groceries. One out of the apartment she rushes to the nearest pharmacy as if every minute made a difference. Ella grabs a clerk roaming the aisles

“Ma’am where can I find ... umm tests” she immediately feels her face heat up as she realizes how bad this looks. The woman smiles sweetly as helps direct Ella to the section she needed.

“Here you are, and good luck sweetheart” giving her and encouraging grin before walking off. Ella sheepishly grabs the cheapest test she can find along with a bag of candy in a poor attempt to cover up the purchase. As she checks out the young girl at the counter gives her a bit of a look, but says nothing.

“W-where are your bathrooms?” She asks nervously

The clerk rollers her eyes and points out to her right. “It’s out around the corner”

Her face burning with embarrassment Ella quickly pays for her purchase and heads out and around the building to the unisex bathroom at its side.

The bathroom is gross, it smells of puke and piss, but Ella can’t wait a moment longer then she has too. She rips out the test and nervously reads the instructions. Her hands shaking she lowers her pants and relives herself on the sensor.

Having done everything she can she watches the display, holding her breath for the information to appear.
