You sighed, hearing the doorbell ring. "Who could that be?" you wondered, walking to the door. "Mom is not due for another four hours, at least."
Opening the door, you let out another sigh to find your mom, Viki Vulcan, standing on your front step. She was a near image of yourself with a firm figure for her age and walked with the aid of a pink diamond cane. "Hello, El." she said, smiling as she stepped inside. "How are you and Chris doing?"
"I have a husband and a son, mother." you replied, patiently. "They deserve your love as well."
"Oh, you know I love Juan with all my heart, dear." cooed mom. "I merely think he would be much happier as a girl, learning magic with his sister." she winked. "You know accidents happen around the home."
