As so it went until the end of the school year. Jon never figured it out. Every few weeks, Karyn would ask Mikey how things were going. Mikey would occasionally ask about some girl stuff initially, until her realized that he could ask him mom when he was a girl
Mikey really got a shock when he got "the talk" from his mother one Thursday night. His mom actually came to him to sit him down after a shower one day, while Mikey was still in his towel. Mikey usually got changed in the bathroom, but sometimes would leave with towel around his waist if Jon needed the bathroom. He saw the girls put it around their body, but didn't see the need. He didn't have breasts like some of the girls had started to.
"Michele, I think we need to talk about a few things," said his mom while she was closing the door.
"Sure mom, wasn't going on?"
"I think you are starting to become a young lady, and that means a few things. My mom talked to me when I was about your age, so I wanted to talk to you."
Michele's eyes went wide. Becoming a young lady? What?
"You will want to start wearing the towel a little higher now. Your breasts are starting to blossom," continued his mom pointing to his nipples
Michele looked down. He saw the nipples were a little bigger and there were some very small bumps under them. He had not paid attention to them, since he only had them part of the time. In the girl's locker room, he didn't really look at himself. He took his shower and got dressed for the next class. He brought his hand up to touch them.
"They will get bigger over the next few years, Michele. And that's not all. You're going to notice your hips get a little wider, while your waist stays about the same. You will have hair grow over some parts of your body. It seems to happen all of a sudden, but it takes time. Years. When I was your age, I notice.."
Mikey started to think deeply while his mother was talking. He was going to have breasts. He had fleeting moments over the months that at one point that would happen. Apparently that time was now. When he changed into a girl, he was going to have to have that change each time.
"...so Michele, that's a lot. We can talk about periods and having a child another time. Breasts and hips will be enough for tonight I think. I'll come back tomorrow, and we can keep talking."
Only, she did not come back tomorrow, because Friday he was Mikey. It was weird, because to his mom, that talk never happened. When he talked to his dad when he was a boy, it was basic. Mikey asked his dad one night. It boiled down to everything he had would get bigger and hairier.
The rotation stood after school was over for the year, so Mikey became Michele on Monday. After lunch, he went up to his mom and asked if they could finish the talk.
"Michele, dear, I'm always happy to talk to you. It's good you have questions. Roger, I'm going to our room with Michele for a bit, please down down here for a bit."
"Ok Nancy"
Michele and his mom went to his mom's bedroom.
"What's on your mind, sweetie?"
"What is it like to have breasts?" Mikey asked with trepidation
"It may be easier to show you."
His mother took off her shirt and then unhooked her bra.
"It's part of womanhood Michele. It is part of who you are. Maybe you will be a mom, like me, and they will make milk for your baby. They will give you pleasure, and also back pain if you don't wear a bra. You will have to wear one of them every day once your breasts are large enough Michele." passing the bra to Mikey. Her breasts seemed much bigger today to Mikey.
Mikey took it and held it. He would have to wear this a few days a week for the rest of his life.
"What are these numbers?"
"36 is the band size, kind of like your circumference around here." Mikey's mom traced around her ribs
"D is the cup size. The later the letter is, the bigger the size of the breast."
Mikey nodded. His mother took back the bra, deftly put it on and put on her shirt. Years of practice, thought Mikey. I'll have that eventually.
"What's it like having a period?"
"Michele, I was thinking after our last talk, that maybe you are a little young for that. You have about 2 years before that'll be an issue. I promise we will talk about it closer to the time."
"Ok mom."
They left the room. Mikey went back to his room and stared at the ceiling, giving some serious thought to being a woman for the first time.
