Sam was on the phone with their doctor while Tyler laid curled up in Jackie's lap. Sam was explaining what had happened. "-yeah he really hates it like.. the first time it happened he told us he didnt want to be a boy anymore if it meant that, that will happen." She said. "And everytime it does happen he freaks out." Jackoe added quietly.

"Yeah I dont know what to do I'm really worried about him. i cant just let this keep happening." Sam said. "Well it's a normal part of growing up theres not much that can be done about it." The doctor said. "He told us he doesnt want to have it because he doesnt want to be like his biological father and as you already know that man did a lot of bad things to him." Sam said.

The doctor sighed softly. "The first thing he said to us when it first happened was that he was turning into his father. He was screaming and crying to whole time because he didnt want to be like his father." Jackie said.

"Guys I know you're worried but like I said there isnt that many options here." The doctor said. "He tried to cut off his penis." Sam replied. The doctor was quiet for a moment. "I see.... okay I'll tell you what, ill get in contact with a counselor and give them your number and stuff and have them call you to arrange a meeting and you can take him in to talk to them." The doctor said.

"Okay thank you so much." Sam said. "If you dont hear back from them in the next few days call me and let me know." The doctor said. "Yes I will thank you." Sam said. "You're welcome". The doctor replied before hanging up.

Sam sighed softly and set her phone on the coffee table. She reached out and pushed Tyler's hair back off his forehead as he slept. She looked up at Jackie and they shared a look before moving Tyler to lay across both their laps so hed be more comfy while they turned on a movie.

A couple days later while the family was eating lunch sam got a call and acused herself from the table. Tyler watched her go before turning to jackie. "Mommy who's mom talking to?" He asked. Jackie looked up a him. "I'm not sure sweetheart." She said, not wanting tyler to freak out if he knew it was a therapist for him.

Tyler only nodded and went back to eating. Sam was gone for a while talking on the phone in the bedroom long after Tyler had finished eating. He was in his bedroom playing his xbox online with Josh when sam came into the room. She leaned against the doorframe and watched him for a moment.

Every now and then he would talk into his little headset with a giggle. "Tyler?" Sam spoke softly. He glanced at her quickly before turning back to the tv with a hum. "You gotta get up early tomorrow okay?" She asked. "Why?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows slightly before speaking again. "Just my mom." He said.

"You got an appointment." Sam said carefully. Tyler stopped playing and turned to her, not caring that he just died. "An appointment?" He asked. She nodded. "For what?" He asked taking off his headset and setting it in his lap, ignoring how Josh kept talking.

Sam came into the room and stood in front of him. "Well me and jackie have been very worried about you since the whole... yknow puberty thing started and with what happened in the kitchen the other day." She said cautiously in case in made Tyler upset. Tyler stared at her silently so she continued.  "So were gonna take you to talk to someone about how your feeling and stuff tomorrow... they'll tell you how to cope with it what you could do, what you shouldn't do.. all that stuff." Sam said.

".. will you and mommy be there?" He asked in a small voice. "If you want us to be yes." Sam replied. Tyler nodded slowly. "So is that okay?" She asked. Tyler shrugged. "Well see how it goes tomorrow okay? You can keep playing. Me and mommy are just in the living room." She said. Tyler nodded, letting her kiss his forehead before watching her leave the room.

He stared at the door once she was out of sight in deep thought before Josh's voice calling his name from his headset snapped him out of his daze. He picked his headset back up and grabbed his controller. "Hey yeah I'm still here." He croaked focusing back on the game.
