Swappers Chapter Fourteen (Patreon)

The swapatorium was busy. Hundreds of people lined up at the doorway, waiting for the afternoon session to begin.

Justin, Mindy, Tabbi, Jessica, and Michelle stood in line, talking softly. They all wore white jumpsuits.

The doors opened, and they filed inside.

“Oh!” Michelle said. He kicked!”

Tabbi gave a soft laugh. “Better you than me.”

First they went to the ID matrix station and had their matrix read. As they assumed, Mindy and Justin had reached their tip point, both showed green.

“Mindy McTavish; Do you wish to enforce the permanent swap back clause contained within your original swap statement?”

Mindy glanced up at Justin. It was strange to think that less than two weeks ago she’d been him wearing that body, having a cock. It felt so eerie now, so…well, wrong.

“No,” Mindy said. “As long as Justin is okay with this situation, I am as well.”

“Justin Klein, do you wish to enforce the swap back clause?”

He shook his head, smiling, putting an arm around pregnant Mindy. “No.”

“Very well. Then by the power vested in me by the state of California, I hereby announce that Justin Klein and Mindy McTavish are now permanently swapped. Please sign here.”

“Do I sign my name? Or Justin’s?”

“Your name, Mindy.”

Mindy signed the declaration, feeling her stomach flutter with butterflies. 

Jessica held her hand, squeezing it, and Mindy leaned in for a kiss.

“Alright, and now to the next swap. Tabitha Ramparsad, you have indicated you would like to make your swap full and permanent as well. Is this correct?”

Tabbi nodded. “Yes.”

“And do you agree, Michelle Klein without any coercion or stipulation?”

“I do.”

“Then I declare the swap between Michelle Klein and Tabitha Ramparsad also full and permanent. Sign here.

They both signed.

“Now, I understand we are still performing a swap?”

“Yes.”

A young man of color approached them. “Is one of you Justin?”

Justin smiled. “That would be me.”

“Oh, hey man! Wow am I happy to meet you. Are we going to do this, or what?”

“We are, if you are!”

“Oh man, you have no idea how bad I want to be white. This is my girl, Cindy.” He pulled a lovely woman of about thirty into their circle.

“Hi Cindy!” 

“Anyway, we been getting nothing but grief, you know what I mean?”

“I’m sure I will,” Justin said.

“Well, let’s get on with it then!”

The attendant said. “Alright, we are entering for a full and permanent swap without the associated life swap, is this correct?”

“Yes.”

So, this means you will go back to your homes you came from and continue on with your life, but in a new body. Your name will continue to be yours, but your ID-Matrix will indicate your new ethnicity and genomic makeup. Is this clear?”

They both nodded and signed.

“Very well! Step into the pods you two and let's get this completed!”

As Justin and Anthony lay back in the pod, Mindy stepped back with Michelle who was now, permanently, Tabbi.

“You’re sure you’re okay with this?”

“Justin, you know I wanted children. You was just never able to give them to me.”

“I’m Mindy, now, sweetheart.”

“Yes you is! And I’m Tabbi.”

She took Mindy’s hand and placed it on her belly. “Feel.”

Mindy closed her eyes and could feel the baby moving around, actually kicking her hand as she held it against Tabbi’s stomach. “Oh! He kicked!”

“Yah, he a rebel. This one gots a lotta his father in ‘im.”

“Let’s hope not,” Mindy said.

Tabbi giggled as the baby rolled again. “Oh, Justin, I just feel sooo…”

“So?”

“So happy! Don’tcha?”

She smiled. “Yes, I suppose I do.”

Jessica stood next to Mindy and clasped her hand.

“Be good to each other,” Tabbi said. “She deserves it. She was a good man, once.”

Mindy swallowed against the bite of tears.

“Ahh, look they’re back,” Jessica said, as the pods opened.

And as Mindy watched his body rise up out of the pod, rise up as someone else to claim a life that wasn’t hers, she squeezed Jessica’s hand and knew she was where she was meant to be.
