When Joey arrived to the hospital he was still unconscious. All the way in the ambulance Daniel had sat by his side, but had at the arrival at the hospital been asked to sit in a waiting room while Joey was being examined. A while later Daniel was called into a room, where a male doctor was sitting. They had run some tests on Joey and the doctor wanted to tell Daniel the results. First he also wanted to hear how the days before he pasted out had elapsed.

Doctor: "First off all, Joey is still unconscious but all his vitals are looking great, so he should be waking up soon. You can go sit with him as soon as we are done here."
Daniel was eager to see Joey but knew he had to tell the doctor what he wanted to know, before he could.
Doctor: "Has Joey acted differently than he used to recently and has he been in good health?"
Daniel: "He has been acting a bit strange. The last 2-3 weeks in particular. He has complained about headaches, has less appetite and fells dizzy and nauseous".
The doctor wrote notes down on a paper and looked up: "We have taken a blood test on Joey, and the only unusual we have found is an increased level of HCG."
Daniel stared confused: "What is that and what does it mean?"
Doctor: "It stands for human chorion gonadotropin. It is commonly used to determine if a woman is pregnant, but when we see it in males it can be a sign of testis cancer".

Daniel placed his hands over his mouth and nose and could not keep the tears back after the shocking information he had just received.

The doctor handed Daniel a box of tissues and then continued: "In Joey's case we are not quite sure what is wrong with him yet. Normally, if it is testis cancer, the HCG level would be sky high, but his level is only slightly raised. We need to wait for him to wake up, so he can give his consent for an ultrasound scan of his organs."

Daniel then got to sit by Joey's side. He took his hand and watched over him for hours before he fell asleep in a green armchair next to Joey's bed.
Early in the morning Daniel woke up by Joey mumbling. Daniel pressed the red button on the wall, which sent for a nurse and then again took his hand. Both a nurse and the male doctor from yesterday entered the room. The nurse checked Joey's drop and the doctor placed himself next to Joey.

Doctor: "Joey can you hear me?"
Joey went quiet for a while and then gradually opened his eyes. He had his head turned towards Daniel. The blurred figure of Daniel slowly became clearer and he saw the tears in his eyes.
Joey: "What… what happened? Did I won?"
Daniel: "No sweety you fainted on stage. You are in the hospital".
Doctor: "Joey, what is the last thing you remember?"
Joey: "I was at the teen choice awards. I talked to Lilly"
Doctor: "The fall does fortunately not seem to have affected his memory. Joey I'll give you some time to wake up properly and then check in on you later."

A couple of hours later the doctor returned and he had the ultrasound scanner with him. The doctor then told Joey about the finds in his blood and asked permission to perform the scan.

Joey: "You can do the scan. I want to know what is wrong." Joey they pulled up his shirt and looked at the screen while holding Daniels hand. Actually there was no reason for Joey to look at the screen as he would have no idea what he saw.
Doctor: "This might be a bit cold". The doctor put a lot of transparent gel both on Joey's chest and abdomen.

First the chest was scanned. Anything out of the ordinary here could explain the fainting. It could occur if the heart or the lungs didn't oxidated the blood enough. After a thorough scanning of the chest region everything looked fine. Both Daniel and specially Joey were relived. Joey felt he could relax for a while, but it didn't last for long.

Doctor: "I will now check if I see anything unusually in the abdomen. The kidneys look healthy. And now for the…" the doctor stopped in the middle of Joey's stomach.
Joey looked nervously at the doctor: "What? Is something wrong?"
Doctor: "I'm not sure. Don't worry I just need another person's opinion on this".
A moment later a female nurse came and looked at the screen: "This can't be. Joey I'm going to feel your stomach, just relax okay".

Joey took some deep breaths as the nurse pressed down on his stomach in various places. The nurse then replaced the doctor, placed the scanner on Joey's stomach, turned the screen towards Daniel and Joey and pointed at it.

Nurse: "Can you see this bean-formed thing here and that is has a flickering spot in the middle? It's a baby".
Joey and Daniel: "What?!"
Nurse: "I have checked. I had to be sure but yes, you are pregnant Joey".
Joey: "But I'm a boy?! How the hell can I be pregnant?"
Nurse: "We don't know actually, this has never happened before as far as we know."

Joey could not believe what he had just heard. He pushed the scanner away, pulled down his shirt and stood up, ready to storm out of the hospital. Daniel then placed himself in front of him.

Daniel: "Joey you can't leave after what we just found out".
Joey concentrated on packing his stuff and did not look up: "It has to be a joke. They are obviously lying".
Daniel gently grabbed Joey by his shoulders and looked him in the eyes: "Listen no matter if this is real or not you still only just woken up. You need to be properly checked".

Joey dropped his stuff and quietly went back to lie on the bed.

Nurse: "I would estimate you to be about 8 weeks along. I would like to keep an eye on you, and see you here again every other week".
"Fine" Joey sighed and looked away.
"Is that not a lot?" Daniel asked. He had to be the one asking the questions because Joey was not that involved at the moment.
Nurse: "We have to remember, we have not seen this before, and we just want Joey and the baby to be as healthy as possible".

Joey buried his head in his pillow and rolled over on his right side in embarrassment. He did not wanted it to be true.
