Clearity in the end

I was so sad when my period came. I knew it was normal for couples to have to try for a while. Luckily I didn’t have to wait long. Next month it didn’t come. A quick test confirmed I was pregnant. Anthony had to change out my vitamin, for something more prenatal. “Why are there just three pills now and not four?” I asked. “The last one isn’t good for pregnant women.” I was lucky enough to not get any of the worst pregnancy symptoms, like morning sickness, but something felt different. I found myself thinking more about my past. I was halfway through my pregnancy when the name Tyler popped into my head. I used to be Tyler, didn’t I? The further along I got the more it came back. By 7 months I remembered everything. I was Tyler O’Donald. My father was a mob boss, and he was still in jail. They had kidnapped me and turned me into a woman. And who were they? It was like coming from a major high. The fog was lifting and I could see the world for what it was now. The Romano family was a magic crime syndicate and my father's biggest competitor. The man I was now married to and in three more months would bear a child to was Anthony Romano. Son and second in command to his father, Don Romano himself. As I got more and more clear-headed, I eventually found the vitamins that my husband had been feeding me since the day I arrived. They were special X-Change supplements, a slow temporary forget. Life before X-Change would slowly disappear as long as you kept taking them, but… should not be used by pregnant women. I knew it all, and yet… I did not care.

I was Sofia Romano. I loved my husband Anthony, and our little baby girl growing inside of me. I loved my life, my house my friends. And I had no intention of being anyone else for as long as I lived.
