Dr. Schultz ordered every kind of test you could think of: Blood, urine, X-rays, you name it. I did it all. Mom kept assuring me that everything we were doing would bring us closer to figuring out how and why this happened to me.
A week later, she called us back in, to discuss the results. "Have you found it, Doctor?" Mom asked.
"No, Mrs. Parker," the doctor replied, "I'm afraid I haven't. All our tests were able to show is that Mackenzie is perfectly healthy. There is nothing in her system that shouldn't be there; nor is anything missing that shouldn't be. In the absence of anything that might be determined to have caused this, I must conclude that there was simply some genetic quirk that was triggered by puberty."
"Can I get rid of it?" I asked. "I really don't want to be known as the girl with a boy's thing."
"There are surgical methods which could remove it," she answered. "However, we can't perform that kind of surgery on a minor, due to the high risks involved. All I can do is get you out of P.E., to reduce the risk of anyone finding out about this. In the meantime, just behave normally."
******************************
When we got home, I went straight to my room, where I took off my pants and underwear. Positioning a handheld mirror between my legs, I looked at my vagina and my penis. As Dr. Schultz had said, the one looked perfectly normal, while the other would have looked more normal on the body of a baby boy.
I was glad that I wouldn't be taking P.E. anytime soon; after all, I wouldn't know how to explain this any better than my doctor did. All I had was the assurance that I was perfectly healthy.
Well, I did have one other thing: The nagging suspicion that it wasn't done growing.
