I follow the sound of Joe's frantic yelling, stepping into the bathroom and closing my eyes for safety.

"Is it safe for me to look?" I ask cautiously, hoping I'm not about to walk into a nightmare.

"Yes," she whimpers, though she doesn't sound too convincing.

I open my eyes to find her standing in front of the toilet, looking equal parts embarrassed and confused. Something's definitely up, but she's blocking the toilet like it holds some deep, dark secret. Her arms are tucked awkwardly behind her back, and she's shifting from foot to foot, her discomfort written all over her face.

"Jay's not feeling well," I say softly, trying to reassure her. "But I can help if you need."

Joe looks at me skeptically, biting her lip. "But you're not... ya know, a girl." Her words come out hesitant, like she's not sure how to say it.

I chuckle at that. "Well, I may not dress like one, but I still have lady parts, so technically, I'm still considered that gender."

She rolls her eyes at me but relaxes a little, though not by much. "It's not that, but there are just... things I can't talk about with you. You're more, like, masculine, and this is kinda... personal."

I take a deep breath, trying to put her at ease. "Joe, I promise you, I understand more than you think. Trust me, I can help."

She takes a long, shaky breath, clearly debating whether to open up. After what feels like forever, she looks at me with wide eyes, her voice barely above a whisper. "I think I'm starting puberty," she says, like it's a dark secret.

"Oh," I say, not quite getting it at first. Then, the realization hits me like a truck. "Ohhh. You mean... you're starting your period?"

She nods miserably, her face scrunched in discomfort.

"Okay, okay, this is normal," I say, more to myself than to her. "You're probably spotting right now. It's a sign of young adulthood, kid. You'll be alright."

Joe looks at me, her eyes a mix of terror and curiosity. "So I'm basically a grown woman now, right?"

I can't help but smile. "Not exactly grown, but you're getting there. Your body's changing and, well, it's capable of producing things now."

Her eyes go wide, excitement flickering for a brief second. "Like... magical things?"

I stifle a laugh. Clearly, Jay hasn't had this talk with her yet. "Not quite magic, but you can say it's natural. You know, human beings are created that way."

Her face falls into horror. "Wait... does that mean I can have a kid now?!"

I quickly wave my hands in front of me. "Well, it's not that simple. A baby isn't going to just pop into your stomach. There's a whole process that needs to happen. But, technically, yes, your body can now make that possible." I look at her sternly. "But you're waiting until you're, like, thirty, right?"

She giggles, relaxing for the first time. "Yeah, at least thirty."

"That's my girl," I say, reaching out for a high-five.

Joe shrugs as she walks past me. "I don't even think I'm having kids," she says casually.

"Never say never, kid," I chuckle, flicking off the bathroom lights and following her into the hallway. "But hey, if you do have any more questions, Jay's the expert in this department. I'm just the stand-in."

She laughs, her mood much lighter now. "You did pretty good to me."

I watch her head to her room, feeling oddly proud of myself.
