Genderwave: Records ? By: Danielle J This story is dedicated to Patti B who also prepared it for publication. Thank you Patti! ***** It was 8:26 a.m. and Cindy Sims was pulling up outside the front door of a small professional building in Lake Grove, New York. Putting the car in park, the bookkeeper looked at the sign next to her workplace?s front entrance. Isabella Sinclair M.D. Obstetrics and Gynecology ?The Genderwave really changed everything,? Cindy said to herself and then put the car back into drive and began driving around to the employee parking area. The employee entrance for Dr. Sinclair?s office was immediately behind the building. Taking her keys out of her purse, Cindy unlocked the back door and walked inside. Judging from the lights being on, the bookkeeper knew one of her co-workers was already at the office. ?Fuck isn?t anything around here the same?? yelled an unknown male voice. Cindy cautiously walked in the direction of where she heard the voice coming from. In the OB/GYN?s front office a bearded Caucasian man was venting his frustration at an office computer. Still unnoticed to this point, Cindy put her purse on the front counter. ?Denise?? The man turned away from the computer and looked at Cindy. ?Wayne?? Cindy nodded her head. ?Yes it?s me.? The man got up from his desk and came over to give Cindy a hug. ?Yes it?s me Denise, or Dennis now. So how was it yesterday?? ?Ok I guess,? Cindy told her co-worker. Till the G-wave struck, she had been Wayne McIntosh, bookkeeper for Dr. Roberto Hernandez, husband to Lisa, and a total computer nerd. Like almost everyone else in New York, Wayne had heard about the G-wave the night of June 22nd. The news had been a shock to the system, but the bookkeeper went about life in hope of either this being all a bad dream or the Genderwave would just disappearing as mysteriously as it appeared. This proved to be wishful thinking. Wayne had come to work at 8:30 on the 23rd like all weekdays. Not long after arriving, Dr. Hernandez called into the office. He told his staff to cancel that day?s appointments and then close the office for the day. So Wayne?s workday was an abbreviated one, with Lisa working at her job, the bookkeeper went straight home and spent much of the day online talking with some of his online friends. The G-wave reached Long Island New York shortly after twelve noon local time. At that time Wayne was talking to Lisa on the phone, his wife at the time enjoying her lunch break. Like everyone else that day, the disorientation brought by the G-wave came and went in a matter of seconds. First Wayne was talking to his wife Lisa, seconds later she was talking to her husband Michael. June 22nd had easily been the weirdest day in Wayne not Cindy?s life. The G-wave hadn?t just changed her gender but her reality also. Some changes were fairly minor, but others were drastic to say the least. ?You look good girl,? Dennis said ending the hug and then going back to his desk. ?How is Lisa or whatever his name is now?? ?Michael is his name. Mike is ok. How about your family?? Dennis didn?t get to answer, because Dr. Sinclair?s two nurses had arrived for the day. Cindy knew the two men in their early to mid-thirties must be Pam Boone and Millie Gates. Both guys were wearing clothes appropriate for being a nurse. ?Chuck? Ray?? Dennis asked. ?How did you know our names?? Charles ?Chuck? Johnson, formerly Pam Boone asked. ?You must be Wayne.? ?Yes,I was. Now I?m Cindy or Cynthia Sims,? said the former Wayne McIntosh. ?I knew both your names because of these,? Dennis said holding up some time cards she had just uncovered. ?I?m Dennis Calhoun by the way.? While Cindy got reacquainted with her co-workers, Dennis called the answering service used by Dr. Sinclair. Putting her hand over the receiver, the receptionist said. ?Could one of you unlock the office door? Patients should be arriving soon.? ?Sure, no problem Dennis,? Chuck said and went out to the waiting room. ?You?re looking great,? Ray Endler told Cindy, ?How are you feeling?? ?Thanks. Ok, I guess.? ?You barely look it,? Ray said motioning to Cindy?s stomach. ?I?m sure you?ll pop any day now.? ?Yes any day,? Cindy said a little awkwardly as she felt another kick inside her. She was still a little shocked what the G-wave had done to her. One moment you?re a thirty-two year-old married man, next you?re still married but also a woman who?s twenty-three weeks pregnant with a baby boy. It wasn?t five seconds after the wave had passed that Cindy felt the first kick inside her. ?I guess we better get ready for the day,? Ray said, ?Talk to you later.? While Dennis continued to retrieve messages for the office, Cindy walked over to her desk behind the receptionist. Before sitting down, the bookkeeper turned on her office PC and just looked at her old but slightly different surroundings. On Cindy?s desk there were three photos instead of the usual one. In place of the photo of Lisa was now a picture of Michael in a two picture frame. The second photo was one taken on their wedding day. That is G-wave altered, not the one the couple really experienced. Cindy was pondering the third photo on her desk, when the phone beside her began ringing. It was line three, a number few people had. ?Dr. Her? Sinclair?s office, how may I help you?? Cindy asked as she signed into the office computer system. ?Who am I speaking to?? asked an unfamiliar voice. ?This is Cindy,? the bookkeeper replied not certain how to answer, ?Or Wayne. How may I help you?? ?Hello Cindy, this is Dr. Sinclair.? ?Sorry Doctor, I didn?t know your voice.? ?That?s alright Cindy. I?m just calling to tell all of you I will be running in a little late. I should be there around 9:30.? ?Ok doctor, I will let everyone know.? ?Talk to you later.? The phone line then went dead, so Cindy hung up the phone. The first patient had just signed in for the day and Dennis was just finishing with them. As soon as patient window was closed, Cindy spoke up. ?Dr. Sinclair called to say she is running a little late but will be here by 9:30.? Dennis swiveled around to face Cindy. ?Cindy, I?m having trouble signing on. For some reason my password won?t work.? Remaining in her chair, Cindy rolled over next to her co-worker. ?Did you try it more than once?? ?I did it four times. Every time I was told the password I entered was invalid.? Cindy wasn?t all that surprised by this happening. In addition to being the bookkeeper/billing agent, the former Wayne McIntosh was the computer expert in the small office. It had been his computer skills as much or more than Wayne?s bookkeeping ability that had enticed then Dr. Hernandez into offering the self-proclaimed computer nerd a job working in his office. OB/GYN offices are almost exclusively female workplaces and other than the doctor, Wayne had been the only male to work in the office. At least till the G-wave came. The problem Dennis was having Cindy suspected wouldn?t be an uncommon one. The G-wave had re-written reality, would passwords or ID numbers be any different. ?Let me give it a try,? Cindy told Dennis. The frustrated receptionist was only too happy to let the bookkeeper give it a try. ?Did you print the schedule for today so I can start pulling everyone?s files? Ray asked as he came up to the desk. Cindy put a hand up as if to signal to Ray to wait for a moment. ?When I installed the new office software two years ago, The Doctor and I picked an ID and password as an emergency back door, just in case some day there was a problem.? Dennis watched as Cindy worked her wonders. ?Rodin? You mean the giant pterodactyl that terrorized Tokyo? Cindy got a good laugh from Dennis? comment. Dr. Hernandez and his wife both liked to sculpt, and that was the basis for the emergency ID to get into the computer system. The bookkeeper was finally into the system. Thankfully the G-wave hadn?t re-written this password. ?No, Rodin the sculptor not Rodan. Dennis you can now re-set your password.? Actually Dennis, Ray and Chuck took turns re-entering their passwords. As soon as this was finished, Cindy gave the computer back to Dennis. ?What would we do without you Cindy?? Dennis remarked as she started printing the daily appointment schedule. ?Coffee?s made everyone. Help yourself,? Chuck announced. One room in the doctor?s suite of offices was part storage room, part break-room. On arriving every morning at work, it had always been Millie Gates? practice to make coffee for the entire office. While Cindy was thinking of how she could use more caffeine that morning but couldn?t now, Ray and Dennis were studying the appointment log as it printed. ?I don?t recognize one single name being printed out,? Ray said. ?The Genderwave changed almost everyone?s name,? Cindy said while studying her computer screen. ?It?s the same here for me.? ?I recognize one name,? Dennis said as she tore the printout off the computer printer. ?You?re here Cindy. Are you going to keep the appointment?? Dennis? question almost coincided with another kick from within Cindy?s stomach. ?Does this baby ever sleep?? Yesterday?s events hadn?t been easy for either the bookkeeper or her husband. Cindy getting used to being pregnant wasn?t the only adjustment. Her husband Mike felt as if he had lost a child all together. The former mother was upset by the ?loss? of his not being pregnant anymore. There was no gloating in the Sims household the night of the G-wave. Just a lot of tears and much hand holding as the couple consoled each other. ?Yes, Mike is coming right after he gets off work.? Michael Sims worked in the accounts department for a Port Jefferson New York based insurance company. Actually Mike and Cindy talked to one another almost daily in course of their work. That was also how the two self-proclaimed nerds had first met. ?I can?t believe it,? Ray said as she was pulling files. ?All the files are here even if I don?t recognize any names. Paula Richmond, Monique Young, Sandra Chen, even one for you Cindy.? By now little about the Genderwave surprised Cindy anymore. ?I still wonder what caused this thing to happen. No one so far seems to know why.? ?We may never find out,? Chuck commented. ?Ms. Richmond is already here this morning,? Dennis said speaking up. ?I got a good guess Sandra Chen is probably Jun Mei Williams wife now. Pretty sure I saw her name on the appointment log yesterday before I left the office.? ?Yes, makes sense,? Ray said still pulling files. All of Dr. Hernandez employees had reported to the work the day before only to be sent home by their boss. Denise had been the last one to leave. ?Think Suzie or whoever he is now will come in this morning?? Suzie Anderson was the office?s part-time file clerk, a job she had held for almost two years. The young woman in her early twenties had been born with Down?s syndrome. In spite of that, Suzie was the office file clerk and gopher. Her exuberance and cheerfulness made her a favorite of both her co- workers and Dr. Hernandez?s patients. ?Suzie is always reliable. If she can?t be here, Suzie will call,? Dennis said. ?Any patients cancel appointments today?? Chuck asked. ?Two, but both were new patients. I?ll ask if the doctor wants us to see if any of those scheduled for yesterday want to come in today now.? Cindy felt almost like banging her head against the computer monitor. The G-wave had rewritten all the doctor?s accounts. It was going to take the expectant mother most of a day to piece most everything made no sense now, even her notes. ?Call Melissa Mastrogemocomo about bill?? one note read. Only one problem, who the hell was this woman? ?I don?t know what?s worse, that I don?t know who any of the past due accounts are now or that Rudy keeps kicking me in the ribs?? Cindy said in a moment of frustration. Cindy?s co-workers laughed. ?You?ll get used to it,? Dennis said. ?Do they ever stop kicking or slow down?? Cindy said as she continued to get pummeled. ?It seemed he or she was kicking me all of last night.? ?That?s normal Cindy, mine did that too,? Chuck said. ?They only quiet down when they move out of the house,? Dennis quipped. He and the nurses laughed while Cindy didn?t. ?Rudy?? Ray asked. ?I thought you were going to name your son Gary after your father?? ?Just a nickname I gave him, or am I having a him?? Cindy asked. The third photo on her desk was an ultrasound photo taken four weeks earlier. A month before Lisa McIntosh had a level II ultrasound during her 19th week. Wayne had been there and clearly remembered seeing a dangly part on the ultrasound. As was normal, the parents got a few images of their expectant child. Only now the ultrasound on Cindy?s desk showed no ?dangly? now. Did the G- wave change the gender of babies not yet born? ?Good question,? Dennis said. ?Things certainly must have been interesting yesterday at Smithtown?s L&D.? ?Imagine a mother in labor one second, and then you have the husband in labor instead,? Chuck said. ?Or no mother at all in room, if the Dad isn?t there or the Mom is single,? Dennis remarked. ?Yes, but I?m just glad I wasn?t at Smithtown yesterday,? Ray added. Smithtown General Hospital?s Labor and Delivery unit was where Dr. Hernandez/Sinclair worked out of. Dennis, Ray, and Chuck had all delivered babies there in the Pre-Genderwave world. Seven in all, the receptionist having three and both nurses had two each. Cindy and Suzie were the only office staff not to have had a child. ?Cindy why are you asking if you were still having a boy or a girl?? Chuck asked. Taking the small picture frame off her desk, Cindy shared it with her co- workers. ?Doesn?t she look like a girl?? The three men in the office each took a look at the photo. ?Could be,? Ray said as he passed the photo to Dennis. Dennis stared at the photo for five seconds. ?I clearly remember you showing your boy?s image and his ?thing? standing out clear as day.? Chuck laughed. ?I remember too. Gary was so endowed.? Dennis laughed. ?There is nothing there now. Did the G-wave change unborn babies too?? ?I was thinking it might have,? Cindy replied as Dennis returned the photo to her. The bookkeeper returned the framed picture to her desk. ?Maybe you should ask the doctor when she comes in,? Chuck said sympathetically. ?Does it bother you if you?re having a girl instead of a boy?? Ray asked. Cindy shook her head. ?No, it doesn?t matter, I was just wondering.? ?How are you feeling?? Dennis asked. ?Ok, I guess. Happy to be a parent, scared too.? ?You?ll be fine,? Dennis said back. ?The doctor is great, you?ll like her when the time comes. She delivered both mine,? Chuck said, thanks to the G-wave he was now a father of a boy and a girl. Ray and Dennis also told Cindy that Dr. Hernandez had delivered two of their children each. Dennis oldest daughter was the only exception. ?Are you and Lisa going to take Lamaze or childbirth classes?? Dennis asked. ?I think so,? Cindy said, thankful for the support of her co-workers. ?Forget Lamaze,? Ray said, ?Just gimme the epidural!? ?Yes, drugs are so good,? Chuck added with a slight chuckle and then turned serious. ?Cindy, you?ll be fine just like all of us.? ?Thanks, I know.? Ray then spoke, ?You know I kind of envy you Cindy, you?ll be having a baby soon and none of us will ever be able to experience that again. It is an incredible journey you?re setting out on.? Cindy almost felt like crying right then. Her co-workers were so kind to her. ?Mike was having a tough time yesterday. We were on the phone talking when the G-wave struck.? Dennis turned sympathetic. ?What?s wrong Cindy? You can talk to us.? ?It was what the G-wave did to us,? Cindy tried telling her co-workers but was having trouble putting it into words. ?When Lisa or I mean Mike realized she wasn?t pregnant any more it was very upsetting for her.? ?But you?re pregnant now. The baby was just moved from Lisa to you,? Chuck remarked. ?For Lisa, I mean Mike now it?s like she lost the baby. She was really excited to be a mother and now she misses being pregnant.? All three of Cindy?s co-workers nodded their heads as if they understood what Mike was now going through. ?Yes, I would think that couldn?t be easy for Lisa?I mean Mike now,? Chuck said. ?I had a miscarriage once. At the time I was nine weeks, it wasn?t easy at all for me. I still think about it now,? Dennis added. ?Mike was having a very tough time last night. He really feels bad.? ?It?s not his fault,? Chuck said. ?No it isn?t,? Ray added as he sipped some coffee and looked at the nearby wall clock. The time was now 9:15 and two more of Dr. Sinclair?s patients had checked in. When Dennis was done with this, the conversation began again. ?No one wanted this genderwave. It?s upsetting to lots of people, I?d feel a loss if I wasn?t pregnant anymore due to this thing.? Dennis spoke up after she finished some work, ?Cindy if Mike wants to talk, I?m available.? ?Thanks Dennis, he was a little better this morning.? ?Cindy, if you don?t me giving you some advise,? Ray saying as he disposed of his coffee cup in a trash can. ?If I were you I?d go out with Mike either tonight or on the weekend and do some preparation or purchases for your baby.? ?Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Go out and buy baby clothes, and even get the crib and set it up this weekend,? Chuck said. ?Being a mother and being a father are different roles and jobs in parenting,? Ray explained. ?A mother?s job is more important, she bares the growing the child within your own body but a father?s job is important. If I were you I?d try to get Mike into nesting activities with you.? ?We bought the crib, weekend before last. Lisa and I hadn?t gotten around to setting up the nursery yet.? ?Now?s the time,? Dennis said. ?Do it together,? Chuck commented. ?It will be a way of getting Mike involved, make him feel better. Besides by the third trimester you?ll begin feeling more uncomfortable. It only increases till the baby is born.? ?Anyone want more coffee?? Ray asked. ?No,? Cindy replied back. Her normal limit of coffee was two cups, three maximum. The expectant mother had already reached her limit. Neither Chuck nor Dennis was interested in more coffee. ?Just asking, I?ll go help myself to another cup,? Ray said before going back to the break room. No one spoke for about another thirty seconds. ?I feel pretty good now. Getting kicked all the time just feels weird,? Cindy remarked. Dennis smiled. ?Think of it this way, it?s your baby?s way of saying he or she loves you.? ?Thanks for all the advise,? Cindy said feeling grateful she had friends like these. ?What are friends for?? Chuck said and Dennis and a now returned Ray nodded in concurrence. ?So how are husbands, I mean wives? Kids?? Cindy asked while looking at the clock. The doctor should be in any moment. ?I?m married to the energizer bunny,? Dennis said. Ray just about aspirated the coffee he was drinking while Chuck was laughing his head off. ?What????? ?Reggie or I mean Wendy now is real horny,? Dennis laughed. ?She couldn?t get enough last night and woke up wanting more this morning.? Chuck was chuckling. ?Michelle was like that too last night, except she wasn?t looking for it this morning.? ?Wendy was up fifteen or twenty minutes early urging me to fuck her. That was her choice of words,? Dennis said laughing while still shaking his head. ?Dad and I just watched television till bedtime,? Ray said butting in. The former Pamela Boone was divorced from her husband and had recently taken her two children and moved back in with her mother. ?Mike was too upset to think about sex.? ?But how about you?? Chuck asked with a sly grin. ?Uhhhhhhhhh, I don?t know.? Dennis then spoke up, ?You won?t believe what my daughter Latisha said to me after the G-wave changed us.? ?What?s that?? Ray asked. ?My wee wee is gone. Daddy did you take my penis?? This time Ray spat up the coffee he was trying to drink as all four employees laughed at what Dennis had just shared. It was then that Dr. Isabella Sinclair arrived. The four members of the doctor?s staff had been too pre-occupied with their conversation, that none of them had heard Dr. Sinclair enter via the back service entrance. Where as Dr. Roberto Hernandez had been a tall, dark and handsome man in his mid- forties, now the female doctor was more mature looking. Her dark features, a part of her Cuban ancestry, helped make the doctor an attractive woman. ?Good morning everyone,? Dr. Sinclair said stepping up to the reception area. Cindy, Ray, Dennis and Chuck all greeted their boss. ?So what was the big joke I missed?? ?Dennis was talking about her daughter,? Chuck said as he tried to look busy. ?After the G-wave, Latisha asked me if I stole her penis,? Dr. Sinclair instantly laughed. ?So what did you tell her?? ?I tried explaining the G-wave. It really didn?t work.? Ray nodded, ?Latisha is what, four years old?? Cindy got up out of her seat. This immediately caught Dr. Sinclair?s attention. ?How are you feeling Cindy?? ?Ok I guess,? Cindy said to the doctor. ?I got to use the bathroom.? ?If you want, I?ll examine you first Cindy. Make sure everything is as it should.? ?You don?t have to doctor; I got an appointment later today at 4:30. Lisa, I mean Mike will be here. Mike is coming straight from work after he gets off.? ?Ok Cindy. When he gets here I?ll see you right away,? Dr. Sinclair told her bookkeeper who continued on the way to the rest room. ?Any messages this morning?? Dennis handed the doctor three slips of paper. ?That?s all.? Dr. Sinclair studied the messages she was given. ?Has anyone heard from Suzie?? ?No doctor,? Dennis told her boss. Then as if a light bulb went off in her head, the receptionist reached for a small piece of paper hanging on the wall. Dennis studied it for a moment. ?Here?s all employee phone numbers. Suzie must be Johnny Moore now; we have someone by that name on the list.? Dennis showed it to her boss who then returned it back to the receptionist. ?Give Johnny a phone call, ask how is he doing and whether he can come in to work today.? ?Ok, Doctor.? Dr. Sinclair then spoke to Chuck next, ?I?ll be ready to see patients in five minutes. Please show my first appointment to the exam room.? The Genderwave had struck less than twenty-four hours earlier, but people still had jobs to do. Life carried on. ***** Cindy was slowly making progress with the havoc the G-wave had done to the office billing system, when she got tapped on the shoulder. ?Want a Cheese Doodle?? asked a young man in his early twenties. ?Suzie?? Cindy asked as she turned around and saw the person she was talking to had Down?s syndrome. ?That?s me,? Johnny laughed, ?My name is Johnny now.? ?How are you Johnny?? ?Good, good and you?re so pregnant!? Johnny said cheerfully. The file clerk office gopher was a delight to be around. ?What is your name now?? ?Cindy, Lisa is Mike now.? ?My brother Tommy is now Susan like I used to be,? Johnny explained. After her parents died, he had gone to live with his brother in nearby Centereach. Cindy was feeling a tad hungry and lunch wouldn?t be for at least another ninety minutes. ?Mind if I have one of your cheese doodles?? ?No help yourself.? Cindy did just that, taking one of the cheese snacks out of the bag and began to eat it. The former Wayne McIntosh hadn?t eaten this particular snack since she had been a teenager. For some reason they tasted awfully good now, the expectant mother felt like eating more. ?Can I have more please?? Johnny just gave the small bag to Cindy. ?Have the whole bag if you want. I better go wash my hands before coming to work. Be back in a little.? Right after Johnny left, Ray winked at Cindy who by now was eating another cheese doodle. ?I think we just found out your pregnancy craving.? ?You think so?? Cindy said as she put a third cheese doodle in her mouth. Ray chuckled. ?I rest my case.? ***** As the day progressed, Cindy pieced more and more of Dr. Sinclair?s billing and accounts together. Addresses were one method used, but also checking patient files and comparing them to billing records also supplied clues. In a day or two, Cindy would have everything under control. Some incoming bills for the doctor?s office needed to be paid. As was customary, Cindy wrote each of these checks, and then paper clipped them to their respective invoices. These would be placed on Dr. Sinclair?s desk for the physician?s or her husband?s signature. In reality Cindy?s signature as had been with Wayne?s before the G-wave, was good enough for signing these checks. It was just a checks and balances system the office used. It cut down on mistakes, and prevented an unscrupulous person from misappropriating office funds. Since it was a Wednesday also, Cindy worked on payroll that day. All office employees got paid on a weekly basis. The bookkeeper and plus Ray and Chuck were salary employees, while Johnny and Dennis were hourly. In the latter?s case, the prior week?s timecards were tabulated and a paycheck issued for the hours worked. Payday was every Friday. At lunchtime Johnny went out to the local A & P and bought fried chicken for the office staff?s lunch. Cindy gave the office gopher money so he could buy her Cheese Doodles. For some reason the expectant mother wanted to eat more of this snack food. While eating lunch, Cindy spoke with her husband Mike. If it was any comfort to the office bookkeeper, her spouse was undergoing much the same problems as she was with the G-wave?s re-writing of all records. Through talking to her husband, Cindy found out it was just as equally aggravating and time-consuming for Mike in his job at the insurance company. Other than that, Cindy and her husband just chatted about how each other were feeling. Mike was more upbeat today and often enquired about how his wife felt and how their baby was doing. He also told Cindy not to stress too much over work, it wouldn?t be good for the baby. Before hanging up Mike said he would definitely be there at 4:30 for Cindy?s appointment with Dr. Sinclair. At one point in the day Cindy gave both a urine and blood sample for testing. Chuck was the nurse who drew her blood. These were normal procedures for expectant mothers on the day of any appointment with their OB. A blood pressure check was also done, one hundred ten over sixty-five was the result. Well within the normal range for BP. All in all, Cindy really felt great day. If not for her pregnancy, she may not even have felt that different from when she was Wayne. This was just impossible because of ?Rudy? giving her some gentle and not so gentle reminders of their presence inside her. Before the G-wave, Wayne had felt his child?s seemingly light taps from the outside. Now with the child inside her, Cindy felt the full brunt of her child?s soccer practice, gymnastics and never ending restlessness. Little about the pace at Dr. Sinclair?s office had changed. Patients came and went, even if none of them were recognizable anymore. Cindy busy with her bookkeeping duties rarely paid attention to these comings and goings. Patients who paid their co-pays gave their cash or more often checks to Dennis who then passed them back to Cindy. The former Wayne McIntosh rarely interacted with patients. Today Cindy found herself noticing a few of the patients. All the women who had appointments with Dr. Sinclair had only been women for a day. In almost every case, Cindy sensed these former men were still a little uneasy with their new gender. The bookkeeper could relate, she felt the same way. Other than that the three expectant mothers Cindy noted were all very different. One young woman looked deathly pale or scared to death. Then there were the Chens, both spouses appeared excited for the child they would soon be having. The third expectant mother and her husband really struck Cindy as similar to her and Mike. The father looking like he had lost something irreplaceable. This made Cindy think of Mike and how he was coping at work. She was very grateful for the talk she had with her co-workers earlier and the advise that had been given to her. Cindy hated seeing Mike in pain, and wanted to do anything possible to relieve it. Doing the activities with Mike suggested by her co-workers was one way. Another was for Cindy to dedicate herself to the job given to her by the G- wave, that of motherhood. If she could impress on Mike how well she hoped to care for their unborn child, maybe that would relieve her husband?s pain over the loss he had suffered. That would require Cindy staying positive and excited, even if she may prefer not being a mother. She needed not to display these feelings to her husband, and try not to complain about some of the inconveniences about being pregnant. Cindy was excited to be a parent, even if she would be the mother instead of father. She hoped Mike would continue to be as excited as they were before the G-wave. ***** Much of the afternoon was spent by Cindy dealing with that day?s mail. Seven checks were received from the three HMO?s Dr. Sinclair was a provider for. These funds needed to be all properly credited to their respective patient accounts. That finished, Cindy returned to billing HMO?s for Dr. Sinclair?s most recent patients. Or those who saw the doctor on the 21st or had the two mothers the doctor had delivered babies for at Smithtown General the last weekend. Again all the names were entirely new to Cindy but at least the G- wave had left computer records intact. It was just a matter of typing in the name to bring up that person?s account. All while Cindy worked, she would occasionally munch on a cheese doodle or drink some bottled water she kept on her desk. Dennis, Ray, and Chuck had reminded her that a mother needed to drink lots of water. As to the Cheese Doodles, the bookkeeper just couldn?t eat enough of them. Maybe Ray was right about this being a pregnancy craving. As was her custom, Cindy set time aside every afternoon to call patients who were overdue in paying the doctor for her services. Bill collection was a necessary part of the bookkeeper?s job, even if it was the least popular part of her work. In this part of Cindy?s job, at least she had some help. The doctor?s wife before the G-wave sometimes did these calls also. Would the now Mr. Sinclair continue doing this post-Genderwave? The expectant mother also wondered if her giving birth in October would change her job status. To begin the bill collection call process, Cindy brought up the overdue accounts section of Dr. Sinclair?s accounts receivable. The bookkeeper sometimes called this the deadbeat file. When patients visit Dr. Sinclair, almost all are subscribers to one of the three HMO?s or PPO?s the doctor belonged to. Depending on the respective insurance plan, the patient paid a co-pay somewhere between ten and twenty- five dollars. These payments were collected upfront when a patient came to the office. The other fees, or the majority of the money Dr. Sinclair made came from her delivering babies for patients at Smithtown Hospital. Now most of these fees are paid by the patient?s insurance plan, but deductibles and co-pays that a patient owes the doctor can range from a couple of hundred dollars to couple of thousand. All this depends on the mother?s insurance plan. As soon as the HMO or PPO settled their share of the payment for Dr. Sinclair?s services, Cindy would send a bill out to the patient for the remaining fee. Most patients paid this almost immediately. In 2003, a check of Dr. Sinclair?s accounts receivable showed that full payment was received within sixty days in over eight-five percent of these billings. The overdue accounts were the rest. If no payment was received from a patient or nothing written back to the doctor?s office explaining why payment couldn?t be made, accounts were put in the overdue directory after sixty days. Not all overdue accounts were what Cindy called deadbeats. Many of Dr. Sinclair?s patients were of humble means. If they called or wrote the doctor?s office and said they wanted to pay a bill in installments, this was always granted. There was no minimum amount set by the doctor, a few former patients would be paying off their balances $20 a month for years before the balance was settled. In these instances all Cindy did was send a once a month reminder by mail to these people. A computer printout was made and Suzie or now Johnny would put these in an envelope to the patient. The deadbeats or real overdue accounts were the ones who never answered the bills sent to their homes. In these instances, Cindy would call these people personally, a job she disliked intensely. She would get cursed and yelled at, and told to impossible acts. The bookkeeper tried to ignore these insults as she performed the job required of her by Dr. Sinclair. If no word written or verbal was heard for one year from one of these debtors, the account was turned over to a collection agency. Cindy was always happy to get rid of these ?headache? accounts, though she had little confidence in the doctor ever receiving any payment. Collection agencies talked big, but between 2002 and 2004 had collected only $832 in overdue funds owed to Dr. Sinclair. Today Cindy was making phone calls to five former patients of Dr. Sinclair?s. The bookkeeper couldn?t help but feel how odd it may appear now to be calling these mothers, for they had all been fathers when their children were born. The first two people weren?t home. The third call proved to be very interesting for Cindy. Just after the second ring, the phone was picked up. ?Hello.? ?May I speak to Laverne Johnson?? Cindy asked. There was a slight pause. ?Yeah, this is she. Who is calling?? ?My name is Cynthia Sims and I work for the office of Dr. Isabella Sinclair.? ?So.? ?You were a patient of Dr. Sinclair. In 2003 she?? ?I have never heard of any Dr. Sinclair or been a patient of one.? ?According to my records you were,? Cindy began saying and then corrected herself. ?Dr. Sinclair was Dr. Roberto Hernandez before the Genderwave. Maybe you?.? ?Shit I wasn?t a patient of any Dr. Hernandez either. When was I supposed to have seen this doctor?? ?Last year. The bill is for services last December when you were in Smithtown Hospital.? ?Well, I never been to Smithtown Hospital in my life. Not even for a headache! What kind of doctor is he?? Cindy or Wayne had many phone conversations in the three years she had worked in the Doctor?s office. But none had ever been like this one. A former patient denying they had even seen Dr. Hernandez/Sinclair. According to the computer, Laverne Johnson had been a patient of Dr. Sinclair for over two years. Ms. Johnson had delivered a baby at Smithtown Hospital on December 21st 2003, Dr. Sinclair had been the attending physician. ?Dr. Sinclair is a Obstertrician/Gynecologist.? ?A baby doctor?? Laverne Johnson asked in surprise. ?Yes. According to my records, Dr. Sinclair delivered your child last December 21st.? ?Whoa. I never had a baby. Just yesterday I became a chick.? ?This was before the Genderwave. Your wife or husband now?.? ?I?m not even married!? Laverne Johnson yelled into Cindy Johnson?s ear. ?No way I?m any mother and sure as hell I never was a father.? ?My records show otherwise. I can contact Smithown?.? ?Fuck your records, fuck the hospital. Fuck you too,? Laverne Johnson yelled at Cindy. Then the phone went dead. Cindy just put the phone back in the receiver. ?That was interesting.? Ray was nearby at the time. ?What do you mean?? Cindy gave her co-worker a summary of the conversation she just had. ?In all my time here, I never heard someone tell me they weren?t the father or mother.? Ray thought for a few seconds before replying. ?You know she may have had a baby but don?t know about it.? ?What do you mean?? ?She had the baby last December. That?s before the G-wave. So Laverne Johnson didn?t exist then.? ?Yes, but she would have been the father then,? Cindy remarked. ?True, but lets say what if she or he fathered a baby and the mother never told him about it? Or say he left the mother or broke up with her?? Cindy nodded her head. ?Yes I see where you?re coming from.? ?I wouldn?t be surprised if we have more cases like this thanks to the Genderwave. What do you think?? Cindy nodded. The G-wave had re-written people?s personal histories. The bookkeeper had seen the results herself just the last evening. So what Ray was saying made sense. ?Yes I agree, guess I will have to write the account off and give it to the collection agency. I doubt that will do any good.? Ray agreed with the bookkeeper. ?Yes you?re probably right, but at least you won?t have to deal with Laverne Johnson anymore.? Cindy went back to her work. She was about to call the fourth number on her list, when something crossed the bookkeeper?s mind. If Laverne had a baby, then where was this child now? With the father, formerly mother? How were they coping with the G-wave? Or even their no mother now in the child?s life? Cindy just silently prayed for everyone in the world, that they would find peace in the aftermath of the G-wave. ***** Cindy had just left the restroom later that afternoon, when she heard a familiar voice in the office. It was that belonging to her husband Mike. He was talking to Dennis and Ray by the reception desk. ?Hi Sweetheart,? Mike Sims said to Cindy as he wrapped an arm around his wife and gave her a kiss. ?How do you feel?? ?Pretty good, I can?t complain.? Ray spoke up now, ?Cindy you can go right into exam room number two. The doctor will see you next.? Cindy and her husband went to the exam room. They weren?t inside thirty seconds before Chuck joined them. First he gave Cindy a gown to put on, instructing the expectant mother to leave the opening in back taking off just her slacks and panty. After this and before leaving the room, Chuck took Cindy?s blood pressure again. ?One hundred ten over sixty, that?s good,? Chuck said, ?How are you feeling?? ?Good, a little tired and a little hungry.? Chuck laughed. ?Have another cheese doodle then. The doctor will be in any minute.? ?Thanks Chuck.? The nurse then patted Cindy on the shoulder. ?You?ll like the doctor. She is very good.? After Chuck exited the room, Mike gave Cindy a kiss and hug. ?You better change into your gown now.? ?Sure. Be right back,? Cindy said going into the room?s bathroom. The bookkeeper was out two minutes later immediately climbed on the examination table. Before coming out, Cindy had hung her underwear and maternity pants on a hook in the bathroom. Mike again kissed Cindy on her return. The self-proclaimed nerds were as much in love now over two years after their wedding as they had on their wedding day. For each, this had been their only real relationship or boyfriend or girlfriend even in their lives. Both Cindy and Mike attributed this to their being not all that physically attractive, both were plain looking at minimum besides being each a little over weight. This mattered little to either, the couple had found happiness together. ?So how are you feeling?? ?Good, even great. I can?t complain,? Cindy said. ?Really? ?Yes I?m fine. I?m happy to be a Mom and for us to be parents.? Michael Sims grinned. ?You aren?t saying that to make me feel better, are you sweetheart?? Cindy bent over and kissed Mike. ?No, I meant what I said. How are you doing?? Mike shrugged his shoulders. ?Ok I guess, I still miss being pregnant.? Taking her husband?s left hand, Cindy placed it on her stomach. Within seconds the baby kicked. ?See you?re still pregnant, we both are.? ?It feels different than when he was inside of me,? Mike smiled for a moment. Remembering some advise given to her by her co-workers, Cindy mentioned something to Mike. ?Why don?t we start working on the nursery this weekend? Like setting up the crib maybe.? Mike smiled. ?Sure, I?d like that.? Cindy was beginning to mention some plans to her husband for the coming weekend, when Dr. Sinclair entered the office. ?Hello Cindy, Lisa. Or what do I call you now Mr. Sims?? ?Mike or Michael, doctor.? ?Hello Michael, Good to meet you,? Dr. Sinclair said studying her patient?s chart. ?How are you feeling Cindy?? ?I?m good, can?t complain.? Dr. Sinclair sat down on the small stool she in the office while Cindy remained on the table and Mike Sims sat in a chair in the room?s corner. The OB/GYN was reading the bookkeeper?s medical chart. ?Cindy, according to your file, you?ve been a patient of mine since 1998,? Dr. Sinclair said looking up from the mother?s medical records. A small smile forming on her, ?and I?ve never seen you before as a patient till today.? ?I think we can thank the G-wave for that,? Cindy said, ?It re-wrote all your billing records.? Dr. Sinclair continued to read Cindy?s medical history. ?Just bear with me a few moments, it?s almost like I am seeing a new patient.? ?No problem doctor,? Cindy replied back. It was a minute or two before the doctor began talking again. ?Your medical history is pretty normal.? ?I had an appendectomy when I was fourteen,? Cindy admitted. ?That?s the only time I?ve ever been in the hospital.? ?She still has the scar from it even after the Genderwave,? Mike said speaking up. Dr. Sinclair nodded. ?Cindy if you?ll just lay flat on the table, I?ll begin my examination of you.? For Michael?s sake, Cindy kept a happy face on. In reality she was very nervous or even scared of the examination that was about to be done on her. It did help that her boss Dr. Sinclair was doing the exam, but it still wasn?t anything the bookkeeper looked forward to. Dr. Sinclair?s abdominal and pelvic exams of Cindy took less than ten minutes. The former weren?t painful, just slightly uncomfortable. As to the later, those would take some getting used to. The bookkeeper felt very weird when the doctor examined her new female regions with her hand. As to when she Dr. Sinclair used some metallic object there, now that smarted for Cindy. ?Cindy you appear to be a healthy expectant mother,? Dr. Sinclair said with a smile as she took her surgical gloves off, ?You can sit up now.? The expectant mother sat up while still wincing from her exam. ?So I passed?? ?Cindy, you certainly did. Your cervix is nice and long,? Dr. Sinclair said while making some notes in her patient?s chart. ?Did Chuck check the baby?s heartbeat before?? ?No he didn?t.? ?We can do that too now. If you will, please lay back down,? Dr. Sinclair told Cindy and the mother to be did as she was told. The baby heartbeat monitor was on a belt that went around the mother?s abdomen. Once this was put on, Dr. Sinclair hooked the belt to the machine that would tabulate how many heartbeats Mike and Cindy?s unborn child?s heart beat a minute. ?Here we go,? Dr. Sinclair said when she was all done. The doctor then turned on the sound. Tears formed in Cindy?s eyes as she listened to the sound of her baby?s heartbeat. Mike came over closer and held his wife?s hand. One hundred fifty to one hundred fifty-five, that?s good, right Doctor?? ?Yes it is.? ?Doctor could I ask a question?? Cindy asked. Every now and then while listening to the heartbeat of their child, Mike and Cindy would hear like a louder heartbeat or echo. That was their baby kicking the baby heartbeat monitor. ?Sure, Cindy.? ?I or Lisa had an ultrasound last month. We saw the baby was a boy. We?re not sure now.? Dr. Sinclair answered Cindy?s question as she turned off the machine. The final reading for the Simms child was one-hundred fifty-four heartbeats a minute. ?I was at Smithtown hospital today. In every case I know of, the couple had a child of the opposite sex that were expecting.? ?So I?ll be having a girl then?? ?Yes, I?m pretty certain. I could order another ultrasound if you wish, just to have you checked out also,? Dr. Sinclair offered. Cindy looked over at Mike, who shrugged his shoulders. It didn?t matter to the couple if the child was a boy or girl. They just wanted a healthy child and a safe delivery for Cindy. ?Only if you feel it?s necessary.? ?Boy or girl don?t matter,? Mike Sims said after giving his wife a kiss, ?I just want the baby and Cindy ok.? ?They?ll both be fine. No I don?t think a ultrasound is necessary,? Dr. Sinclair said motioning for Cindy to sit back up. ?You appear to be doing fine. If something comes up we can schedule an ultrasound at another time. ?That?s fine doctor.? ?We?re done then,? Dr. Sinclair said closing up the file for Cynthia Sims. ?That?s unless you have any more questions. I?ll see you again in two weeks or sooner if you?re having problems.? ?Thanks doctor,? Mike Sims said. ?Doctor, can I ask you something,? Cindy asked and then looked over at Mike, ?In private if possible.? ?I?ll go outside and meet you by the desk. Love you,? Mike said giving Cindy a kiss and then the expectant father left the room. ?Ok, Cindy, what do you want to ask?? ?Doctor,? Cindy began by saying. She felt a little ashamed by what she would be asking next. ?I just wanted to know about my job?.? ?Cindy, you?re job is safe. You aren?t going anywhere, I need you around this office,? Dr. Sinclair said with a small smile. ?Thanks doctor, I was a little nervous about that. What worried me was that I wouldn?t be able to work for a month or two.? Dr. Sinclair patted Cindy on the shoulder. ?Don?t worry about that. We need your expertise here. Either my husband will help out, or maybe you can from home for a while. Your job is safe.? ?Just concern yourself with your pregnancy and your child.? ?I will doctor.? ?Good, you?ll be fine. Your due date is in Mid-October and if you any questions or problems just ask me.? Cindy nodded, ?I will.? ?If you wish Cindy, you can leave for the day. We got everything handled here.? ?Thanks doctor, I?ll just straighten out my desk before going.? A few minutes later Cindy re-emerged from the exam room. Now wearing all her clothes again, the bookkeeper walked to the reception area. Mike Simms was there talking to Dennis. ?I?ll do what you suggested, thanks Dennis,? Mike told the receptionist and then concentrated his attention on his wife. ?Hi sweetheart, did the doctor answer your questions?? ?Yes she did,? Cindy said nodding her head, ?Dr. Sinclair said I can go home now.? ?Good, I can follow me home.? ?I want to clear a few things off my desk, it will take me ten minutes at most,? Cindy said, ?Could me do me a favor on the way home?? Mike smiled. ?You mean pick up some cheese doodles for you.? Ray Endler had a silly grin on his face as he walked by. ?I told Mike he better order Cheese doodles by the case for you.? Cindy pretended to growl at her co-worker but she knew Ray was just pulling her leg. ?Can you get me some on the way home? ?Absolutely,? Mike said before giving Cindy a kiss and hug again. ?I?ll meet you back at the house. Drive safely.? ?You too,? Cindy replied back. The couple kissed again and then Mike Simms left the office. Cindy was about to sit down at her desk, when Dennis spoke up. ?How did you like the doctor?? ?I liked her very much,? Cindy said as she started putting things either in the desk drawer, nearby file cabinet or her pending box. ?The doctor said I am doing well and my cervix is long. The baby?s heartbeat was over one- hundred fifty a minute.? ?That?s good.? It took about five minutes for Cindy to be satisfied with her desk. She then said goodbye to her co-workers and left the office via the back door. As Cindy waited for traffic to clear before exiting the parking lot, the bookkeeper looked back at her workplace. So much had changed there because of the G-wave but then much was the same too. Cindy?s co-workers were still her friends and Dr. Sinclair still valued her work. Was it so much different for Cindy and Mike at home? Granted they were wife and husband now instead of husband and wife, and now Cindy rather than Lisa was carrying the Sims unborn child. But things were the same too. The couple were going to be parents in four short months. More importantly the couple was happy and in love with one another. After years of loneliness, Wayne now Cindy had found the love of her life and Lisa now Mike felt the same. Had the G-wave really changed that much? That night Cindy had dinner with her husband that night. Following a game plan suggested to her by Dennis, Mike Sims slowly seduced his wife. First with food and wine, and then gentle kissing and hugging, finally concluding in the bedroom where Cindy allowed Mike to make love to her. No, the Genderwave had changed very little. The End
