The doctor scribbled on a clipboard. A clock ticked, and faintly, he heard the sound of nurses bustling around. Kurt Hummel sat on the examination table, papers crinkling as he nervously shifted. Burt sat across from him with his head in his hands, a disconcerted look on his face.
"Well, Kurt, I really can't find anything wrong with you." Dr. Simmons said, never looking up from his papers.
Kurt frowned in confusion. "What?"
"You're perfectly healthy. Nothing showed up in the blood tests." He replied.
Burt stood up, an angry expression painted across his face. "Nothing wrong? My kid sprouts tits and a vagina over night and you say nothing is wrong?"
"Dad!" Kurt cried, blushing furiously and pressing his legs together self-consciously.
"Mr. Hummel, I am a pediatrician. I'm afraid you'd have to see a specialist about this." Dr. Simmons replied calmly. The doctor held Burt's livid gaze for a few minutes before the man huffed angrily.
"Kurt, put your coat on, we're leaving." He said.
Kurt obediently hopped off the table, blushing red as his new c-cups bounced with him. He rushed to zip up his coat and scurried out of the room behind his dad.
That night, Kurt stood in front of his full-length mirror in his bathroom. He clutched a towel around him and water droplets fell from his rapidly growing locks in a just-showered trembled as his chest stuck out from beneath the polyester-terry cloth blend. Counting to three, he took a deep breath and dropped the towel, groaning softly when he saw that nothing had changed. His skin was as pale and smooth as it always was, but for some reason, it felt more delicate now. His hands were noticeable smaller and his face was rounder with softer features. His hair was rapidly growing; it was past his shoulders now and tumbled down his back in soft brown curls.
Moving down.
His once broad shoulders were now petite and curved, connecting thin, graceful arms. His (shudder) breasts, perky with round, pink nipples, were at least a c from what he had read online. They complimented his narrow waist, flat stomach, and perfectly tight derriere. His hips he could definitely to without. They had without a doubt widened, making his pants snug and uncomfortable. However, that was nothing compared to the giant hold between his legs that had taken the place of his penis. He felt so empty and bare down there.
Dr. Simmons had said that his penis had most likely shrunken to form a clitoris, but that didn't explain where his balls went.
Tentatively, Kurt snaked a hand down to the light brown bush that partially hid his pussy and cringed as his fingers slipped through the lips of his…vagina. He felt like throwing up at the thought. He had spent his entire life trying to avoid them and now he had one. The universe was good at irony like that.
"Alright Kurt. Why don't you take a seat?" Dr. Welsch gestured to an arm chair that was positioned in front of his desk.
It had been a week since Kurt's visit to Dr. Simmons' office and he hadn't been to school since the "transformation." In a desperate attempt at figuring this mess out, Burt had found a specialist in Albany through Simmons.
"Now, I was going over your records…you say this happened over a four-day period? Would you mind expanding on that?" The specialist asked, taking a seat behind his desk.
Kurt blushed and cleared his throat awkwardly. "Well I uh, noticed my hair started growing faster and my voice was getting a little higher."
Dr. Welsch nodded. "And your chest? Any pain or swelling?"
Kurt turned red and self-consciously crossed his arms over his chest. "Um…it felt really tight the first day, and then it sort of started umm…throbbing and swelling a little."
The man nodded, as if confirming the things on the paper. "Now tell me about your vagina, Kurt. Was there any pain with that?"
Kurt wanted to hide, he was so embarrassed. How could the doctor just sit there and talk about this stuff as if they were discussing school work? "Well ummm, I uh….noticed my…you know, was getting smaller, but I didn't really feel anything." He mumbled.
He sat in the chair anxiously as Dr. Welsch retrieved some papers and wrote some comments down before pulling out a plain white folder. "Would you like your dad to hear this too?" He asked.
Kurt nodded and the doctor picked up the phone, telling his secretary to send Burt in. A few seconds later, Kurt acknowledged his dad's presence. Burt patted his son's shoulder before taking a seat in the chair beside him.
"Kurt, Mr. Hummel, have you ever heard the reason men have nipples?" Dr. Welsch asked.
The father and son in front of him stared at him in bewilderment. "Uh…no." Burt said.
The doctor folded his hands on the desk. "When an embryo is formed, it has two x chromosomes, which means that ever embryo, when first created, is female. However, as the embryo develops into a fetus, one x chromosome may be replaced by a y chromosome. The result, nipples, is what is left over from the fetus' time as a female." He explained.
"Yea? So what's that got to do with Kurt?" Burt asked.
"Kurt seems to have a genetic mutation." Dr. Welsch replied. "When he was developing in the womb, a y chromosome gained dominance over the x chromosome, but now it seems that the x chromosome is taking over his body again."
Kurt raised his eyebrow in disbelief. "Really?"
"You're going through what I'd like to call a 'second puberty.' Because of the double x chromosomes, your estrogen levels have risen drastically and your testosterone has decreased drastically. The cells in your chest and scalp have multiplied rapidly and your bones have grown or shrunk in certain places."
"What about his privates? Those don't just evaporate into thin air." Burt said, much to Kurt's chagrin.
"Well, his penis has shrunk to what is now the clitoris, while his testicles have retracted into his body. The strange part is that it appears the testicles have actually taken the role of ovaries, while the vas deferens have become the fallopian tubes. It also seems as though Kurt was born with a complete number of eggs and a uterus, though it was small and unnoticeable due to the lack of estrogen in the body." Welsch explained.
Kurt was in a state of shock As crazy as it all sounded, it all managed to add up somehow. He was a girl.
"Can't he get surgery? Take hormones?" Burt asked.
"I'm afraid that Kurt's body would only reject the hormones and make him very ill. Same with surgery. There is no 'cure' for this condition." The doctor replied apologetically.
Burt rubbed his eyes tiredly. "This is insane."
"It is extremely rare." Welsch replied. "There are only six other known cases in the United States, but you're the first 'boy' reported."
Kurt's head went up. "The others were girls?"
The doctor nodded. "Yep, so you're a first all on your own."
At that, Burt stood up. "Thank you doctor," he shook his hand, "we'll contact you if something big happens."
