A person born with both ovarian and testicular tissue, this could be 2 separate ** (one of each) or a combination of both in one an ovotestis. The genitalia can vary from completely male or female, to a combination of both or even ambiguous looking. The chromosome karyotype complement can be XX (female), XY (male), XX/XY (mosaic) or even XO (extremely rare). Those XX with female genitalia are raised female (some have even given birth). Those XY with male genitalia are raised male (a few have fathered children). The children born XX/XY or XO (with genitalia male or female are raised in the sex they look most like, those born with ambiguous genitalia have many medical tests for the doctors to determine which sex they should be assigned. Doctors then recommend early surgery to make the child look physically like the sex assigned to them. In most cases they are sterile. Notice most cases. There has only been 2 cases in history that I can recall reading about in which one had a child. In a lot of cases one or both sexual organs don't function.
Warning: This is about Allen being a hermaphrodite. The first hermaphrodite story.
It was December 24th 1995. A young woman about the age of Fourteen was giving birth at the King George Hospital in North East London. She was a pretty little girl, long brown hair, deep gray eyes, round from innocence, her skin was pale like Ivory.
She has to give birth to the child even if she has to give him up. She wanted to hold her child, give the child a name and give her or him a kiss goodbye. She lay on the bed, screaming her head off. It was so painful, her muscles were stretching and they felt like they were tearing apart. Her body felt horrible, being racked with that much pain.
Hours of the continuous pain she finally gave birth, the cries of the baby echoed around the room. "Is the baby alright?" She asked, looking at the doctors who were taking the baby to another room to be cleaned and checked on.
The nurses looked at the young mother. "The baby will be just fine." She said with a smile behind her mask.
After ten to fifteen minutes had passed, the doctor came back in with a sleeping bundle in his arms. "Ms. Walker, I am sorry to say that your son is a starved fetus, you had not taken in enough protein for yourself and the baby he has a birth defect on his left hand, which has left it black and scarred." The doctors tone was emotionless and professional, but a twinge of kindness seeped through his words.
"Let me see my son." She whispered to the man. The doctor gave a nod and handed the baby gently to the mother, who cradled him to her chest. She looked at the baby her arms, with love and care. "He is perfect, so perfect." She whispered, tears in her eyes. She knew that she had to give him up; her parents were strict catholic borderline crazy.
"What will his name /be ma'am?" The male doctor asked, he had a nurse walk in and with the birth certificate.
"His name is Allen Cyrus Walker." She explained softly, stroking his cheek. "My name is Cornelia Walker; his father is to remain unknown." She explained to the doctor and stroked her son's soft cheek.
The man wrote down the time of birth which was one twenty in the morning. "I will be giving him up to adoption." She explained to the doctor.
She looked at Allen; she removed her necklace slowly and placed it around the boys neck it looked like multiple stars trapped together. It was a sign of the old church, The dark Order.
~Three weeks later~
Allen was very sickly and pale child, he was growing hives on his body from the water in the lead pies and his eyes were shut tightly trying to hide from the pain that rank through his little form.
The orphanage was doing the best that they could to keep the baby healthy, but the funds were hard to get. So the child had to suffer the pain he was in.
No matter what the women or men did, the baby always cried and screamed.

Komui looked at his younger sister; she was looking so excited, talking about what she was going to do with her little brother or sister.
"And if we get a boy, I want him to be younger so that I can protect him!" She explained looking at her older brother. "And it we get a girl I want her to be the same age, that way we can get along and play with one another's hair and be princess' together!" She explained her amethyst eyes glowing brightly.
Komui paid attention to every little word that his adorable little sister said, he was glad that she wanted another sibling that way she was not alone and could bond with someone while Komui was away at work.
His eyes looked around and saw the Orphanage. "Here we are!" He said and drove into the parking space easily and got out.
They had gone over the paperwork which took six and a half months to get accpeted with the state and government as well as the house and court systems. They were ready to adopt.
Komui got out of the car and closed his door and went to his little sister, she had already unbuckled herself and was trying to open the door. He chuckled at her attempts to open the child proof doors. He moved the handle and let her out. He watched with amusement as she stumbled out and raced to the door.
"Such a silly butterfly you are." He whispered as he shut the door.
Walking into the building they noticed that kids were all over the place, running, laughing, screaming, playing games, they all looked healthy good clothes, smiles, they all looked happy and well taken care of.
Walking up to the desk, he rang the little bell and watched as a middle-aged man walk in. "Can I help you sir?" He asked, raising his graying eyebrow.
"Uh, yes I am here to adopt, I came in four weeks ago?" He explained to the man. "I am Komui Lee." He stated to the man, with one of his grins on his face.
The man looked over Komui then walked to the back and went over to the file cabinet and looked over the paperwork on Komui Lee. Checking it over a few times, he nodded his head. Walking back he looked at the man. "Alright, you may look around talk to the kids." He said with a wave of his hand.
Komui nodded and looked down at Lenalee. "You ready for your new sibling?" He asked his little butterfly.
"Yep!" She cheered and raced off to greet the other kids.
Komui chuckled and walked after her. After some time, he noticed that Lenalee was looking distressed as none of the kids wanted anything to do with her. Komui knelt to the ground and waved Lenalee over. "Lenalee come here please." He said in a gentle tone, a smile on his face.
"Okay." She mumbled and walked over towards him, a pout on her features. Once in front of her brother she looked at the ground. "None of them are even looking at me." She whispered softly to him, her eyes held unshed tears in them. She looked so unsure and hurt.
Komui sighed softly and placed his hand on her head, a small smile on his face. "How about we get a little brother or sister." He said looking at her, his own purple eyes looking into hers.
Lenalee looked at him for a moment, she was thinking. Ever so slowly her eyes went wide with excitement and glee. "Yeah then I can be just like you and save the prince or princess!" Telling him with pure joy in her voice.
The older Lee laughed a bit. "Let's go ask." He said and lifted her up on his hip.
After quickly talking to the man at the desk, he eagerly showed them to the baby pin; it was upstairs in the back rooms, cleaned and pressed.
The old man led them into the room and walked away watched from the hallway. Lenalee was placed on the ground once they reached the top of the stairs and immediately was looking through the bars of the cribs looking at the toddlers. She then looked at one in the back, she walked towards it, and she saw that there were some wires connected to the bed.
Heading towards the crib, she peered in through the bars, and saw a baby. The said baby had red blotches over the pale skin, its breathing was labored and his eyes were closed. She kneeled a little and tapped the crib, making the baby open its eyes. She was drawn to the silver orbs, she gasped when she felt her heart speed up in her chest. She had found her little sibling.
"Ku-nii." She called out softly, her head turned towards him. He looked back at her and nodded his head and walked over towards her.
"What is it Lenalee?"
She pointed to the baby. "This one." She said softly, looking back at the baby. "I want this baby to be in our family." She said firmly, her little cheeks puffed up.
Komui looked at the baby then and gasped softly and the sickly baby, he looked into the silver pools and just felt his heart melt.
"Thomas, we found the baby." He said looking at the old man.
"Oh really?" His tone was skeptical as he moved over towards them and looked at the crib. His brown eyes looking over the baby. "His name is Allen Cyrus Walker; there are a few deformities that I would need to talk to you about." The man said.
"Alright what is the problem?" He questioned looking at the old man in interest. His purple eyes sparking.
"The boy was a starved fetus, his left arm is deformed due to his mother's blood getting into his body called jaundice, and he is what most people refer to as a shim." He explained.
The Chinese man looked at the elder. "Are you saying that he is...?"
"That boy is a Hermaphrodite."
Komui stared at the silver eyes, they were looking at him. His heart stopped and he smiled at the baby, gently he reached down into the crib and picked up the baby, gently, keeping the IV wires out of his way. Smiling sweetly at him. "Guess what Allen; you're to have your own room." He said and looked at Thomas who had a small smile on his lips. "Get the papers ready, it is time for him to go home." Komui said to Thomas.
Lenalee looked at her brother with wide happy eyes. "Yay!" She squealed and danced around Komui.
"I'm getting a brother, I am getting a brother~" She sang happily.
