Harlem...the year was 1955, Y/N was 15 living with her grandma at the time, and must I say it was a different time back then, so let's go back.

Winter of '40

"You have to push for me Mrs. Y/L/N!" the doctor yells, "what dose it look like I'm doi- ahhh" she yells out in pain, "your doing good baby, she's almost out" the young man says, "one more good push" the doctor says while patting the young woman's knee, "AHHHH!" she yells out for the last time, the room gets silent and all the nurses gather around the doctor and the newly born baby. "Let me see my baby" the young woman says as she reaches out for her baby, "um" the doctor says, "my wife wants to see our baby" the man says as he gets up and reaches out for the baby, the doctor gives the baby to him and the new father begins to smile before giving his wife the baby.

But the mother and father see there daughter has a genitalia "we have a son!" The father yells out in excitement "no mr. Y/L/N the Ultrasound indicated that it was a girl" he says shockingly "so what are you saying doc?" he says "the ultrasound was probably a mistake you know with the new technology" the mother says "I hope your right mrs. Y/L/N" the doctor says as the he walks out "what dose this mean?" The woman asks her husband as she begins to cry "I don't know" he says as he holds the baby's hand as she wakes up.

Summer of '45

It's been 5 years since Y/N's been born and it was confirmed the Y/N is a girl and that she has a rare condition, but scientist couldn't figure out what it was, the couple concluded cutting it off but since it physically connected to her there is no way to do so without killing her, so they had to learn to adjust. "Then you shake" the dad says as he teaches his daughter to pee standing up, something he never would thought to do, "good job" he says.

Though there were good times there were also bad ones. "THIS IS NOT NORMAL! DO YOU GET THAT" the young mother yells, "I KNOW THAT BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? NOTHING BUT ADJUST!" he yells back, "I can't do this anymore more" "what?" "This life! I can't sit here and act like our daughter having a penis is normal. Maybe she should stay with my mother for a while" she says on the verge of tears, "what?! Look baby I know this is hard, hard on all of us but giving her away is not the answer" he says as he grabs her arms, "let me go, I need some air" she says as she leaves.

A Week Later

"But I want to go with you" Y/N says as she cries, "I know baby girl but me and mommy are gonna have to go away for awhile" her dad says as he is on one knee, "but don't worry we will send you a post card from every place we go to" her mom says as Y/N holds her head down. "We love you so so much" she says as she hugs her daughter one last time, "ok we have to go now, ok?" She says as toddler Y/N nods her head, then they where gone as quick as a snip. "Don't look so down sweet baby" her grandma Doris says, "how about grandma's home made peach cobbler with a warm glass of milk on the side" she says and Y/N nods.

Spring of '50

Y/N is now 9 and she's been living with her grandma for 4 years now, and her parents haven't been back since but they never broke their promises of sending her a post card everywhere they go.

"Dear, Y/N"

Me and your mother took a picture in front of
the Big Ben for you, and if you don't know where the is Big Ben is, it's in London.

Love, Mom and Dad

That's the most recent post card from them, but other then her life at home her life at school hasn't been so good. "Why don't you ever talk mute?" the bully says to her but she doesn't say anything, "I'm talking to you you mute freak" he says as he pushes her onto the ground, "hey leave her alone Michael" a boy says as he steps in front of him. "Or what Robert?" He says as he begins to poke at him, "this" the boy says before laying a punch on him, then out of nowhere a crowd comes shouting out the words "fight! fight! fight! fight!" As the boys started fighting but it doesn't last long.

"Hey my name's Robert" the boy from earlier says to her, "Y/N" she says as they shake hands, and from that day they became best friends. Robert didn't find out about Y/N's "condition" till they where 13. "Where did you get this from?" Y/N says anxiously as Robert begins to pull out a playboy, "it's my pops, I got it from his tool box before he went to work, wanna check it out?" He asks her, "no I can't" she says "why not? It's not like I'm going to tell" he says,"but it's wrong" "if this is wrong I damn sure don't want to be right" he says as he opens it and Y/N catches a glimpse of it, so she looked away as fast as she can but for some reason couldn't resist so she gives in, but she didn't notice that something was watching too."why is your dress rising up?" "What are you talking about?" She says as she looks down, "oh fudge!" She says "hey I have those in the morning" Robert says "HOW DO I GET RID OF IT!" She says as she tries to push it down, "I have the perfect solution" he says.

"So you have one?" He says as they sit on her stoop, "yes" she says as she's looks away. "That's pretty cool" he says and she looks at him and smile.

Summer of '55

Y/N is now 15 and she's smart as a pistol. "Miss. Y/L/N, Y/N is a spectacular student" Y/N's teacher says, "then what's the problem?" Doris says "Y/N has a 4.0 grade average, and this school doesn't have the needed classes for her, so what I am saying is Y/N is to smart for this school..I mean she knows all the lessons that I haven't even taught the class yet, and she passes every test and dose every homework assignment" the teacher says and Doris begins to cry, "I knew my baby was special" she says in tears. "So what do you think I should do?" she asks the teacher, "well it's this school called Mount Washington up in Washington Heights" the teacher says, "Washington Heights? That's quite far" she says as she takes a deep breath, "hey but it's worth it, especially for Y/N's education" the teacher says and Doris nods.

"I thought you would never come, what took you so long?!" Robert says, "sorry, you know how my grandma is" she says as she pulls up on her bicycle. "Well let's go it's starting" he says as Y/N gets off her bike. "Come on" he whispers as they sneak into the movie theater, "what if we get caught?" She say nervously "only way where going to get caught if you keep talking now shut it" he says as they make there way passed the ticket taker. "That was close" She says as they finally sit, "yeah I know, good we just missed the credits" he said as Gentleman Prefer Blondes play.

"That was hot'" Y/N says as they leave the theater, "I know, did you see Marilyn Monroe?" He says as he motions breast, "yeah she such a doll" Y/N says as she gets her bike. "Doll? No she's a dime, oh and don't let me start on Dorothy" he says as they walk.
