"The Wedding Secret" Superromance Part 3
🕑 Added 2024-07-22 20:00:01 +0000 UTC"Happy anniversary... Ariel," I whispered. Just today, just this once, I used 'her' old name.
"I love you, Eric," 'she' whispered back.
And then, I let 'him' lean down and kiss me.
It still was weird thinking about the fact that the whole world kept this a secret. Like, I thought about Kim and Kanye in an entirely different light now. Every wedding, from royal to vegas, ended in people changing bodies? No wonder the world seemed so crazy all the time. Compared to most, we'd accepted our fate with incredible resolve.
We'd had a lovely honeymoon a year ago. We'd gone to the beach, and tried to settle into our new bodies. As 'Eric' had said, as I now called 'him', nothing, in some ways, had really changed. He had swapped into my job without almost any difficulty at all. And I had swapped into her job with just as much ease. If anything, I found her job more satisfying.
What's more than that, we both were now... thriving? Eric had already gotten a promotion six months ago, having applied himself to his work in a way I never had been inclined to. And while there wasn't much room for promotion at my job, I'd gotten some very warm thanks from the schools that it was now my job to allocate funding to. I really felt like I was making a difference in people's lives now--and was busy fighting corruption with a purpose.
Nothing had changed in more than one way; we still had wanted kids. The fact that I now was Ariel hadn't changed that, even if I had never thought I would be the one bringing them to term.
And so, around the time Eric was getting his promotion, I told him the news... I was pregnant.
Now, we'd taken a few weeks off to spend the end of my term where we'd both settled into our bodies during our honeymoon.
It was odd. When we'd swapped bodies, neither of us had felt 'terrified'... we'd confronted the swap with what I had learned was an impressive amount of serenity.
But now... now, mere days from term, I was TERRIFIED.
But thankfully 'Eric' was here beside me, as faithful as ever.
