Susan/John awoke as the bright light shone in her eyes.

"Good morning John how are you feeling?"

He slowly opened his eyes. He felt awful, his body felt numb and he had a splitting headache. At first being called John didn’t register, he had allowed the Susan persona to take over. The doctor was shining the torchlight into his eyes.

"You had quite a bump yesterday, you are mildly concussed and your right leg is broken. Take your time."

"How is the little boy?"

"He’s fine thanks to you. Not even a scratch, you were still holding him even though you were unconscious."

"Who knows about. You know, that I’m not Susan.?"

"Your Aunt came with you in the ambulance and explained everything. I know and your nurse knows but that’s it. I can’t pretend to understand what you were doing dressed like that. I never use a corset myself."

"What?"

"You’re not the only one to enjoy a bit of femininity!"

"Oh right, thanks."

"Now that’s settled, I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself. I’m Dr. Keith and you have a big problem."

"What’s that?"

"Well are you Susan the heroine or John the boy who dresses up in girls clothes so well his girlfriend doesn’t even know?"

"Why worry?"

"Well you have some very grateful parents of a small child just itching to thank you, a girl friend desperate to have you better, the parish priest saying prayers for you and your Aunt who has spent two days with you. To say nothing of the gentlemen of the press."

"Ahh."

"Yes Ahh. I think we will have to rapidly ensure that you are Susan until all this blows over, I can control the medical staff who will attend you, your injuries are recoverable with rest. I think you will be back to normal in about four or five weeks."

"Is my Aunt here?"

"She’s on her way, I sent her home to get some rest. She will bring all the ‘attachments’ you had used to create Susan. We had to remove everything to check you over, very convincing I must say."

"I’m tired now and I’ve got a belting headache."

"That’s Ok. Take these tablets and sleep."

He awoke later or did he? He could hear voices, his Aunt for definite, was that Karen as well? He was sure he could feel hands moving his body. He felt a kiss, then a more passionate one, then the mists closed and he fell unconscious again.

The next morning he awoke, a slow groggy awareness came to him. As he moved he realised his ‘attachments’ had been restored and he was now Susan again. His aunt must have come while he was drugged, but he was sure he had heard Karen or was it a wishful dream. Later after breakfast his aunt and Karen came to visit. They didn’t stay long, the doctors had further tests to do. As they left Karen called "see you soon ‘Susan’, love you!"

The emphasis on the name alarmed him, she knew, he was sure she knew….
