"I..." said Jake.
"What is it, Amber?"
Jake knew he would have to explain it all. "Look, I have to level with you. I'm not Amber. Amber is my girlfriend. She's carrying my baby. There's no way you could be going out with me."
"Really?" replied the young man. "Why in the world would you have a girlfriend? You can't be..."
"Argh." Jake had reacted for once as he would, even though he was this girl. But his explanation wouldn't make any sense for a girl. There was nothing he could do but brazen it out and try to make it sound like it made sense. "Yeah, I'm a lesbian. Amber is my girlfriend. We live together. She really is carrying my baby, we used my egg cell and Jake as a sperm donor."
"Oh, congratulations Jessica! When are you two expecting it?"
"Why are you calling me Jessica?"
"That's your name, I can't very well call you Amber as if you're your girlfriend."
"I don't get it. I thought you just... Oh, I'd better go home." For some reason, Jake's sudden attraction to guys had faded.
"Bye Jessica!"
