Skeesy sat quietly in the passenger seat as the man who was apparently the husband of the body she occupied drove out of Barracuda beach. They were heading east, so Skeesy guessed they were headed back to the city, probably to the house she had originally stolen the medallion from. She was in shock though. The man had suggested she was pregnant. Having a baby growing in her stomach was not something Skeesy had ever contemplated. This wasn't right! This was impossible!
She eventually managed to ask the man in a hushed voice "Why would you think I am pregnant?"
"Well it makes sense don't you think? We've been screwing like rabbits and the medallion no longer works on you. From what you have told me you are not on your period so that leaves pregnancy as the only other option"
Unfortunately for Skeesy that made too much sense. The medallion had not worked on her as it was supposed to in the stories she had read. As far as she knew she wasn't having a period and ..... Skeesy didn't like to think about it but she had been screwed by a man at the bar the other night and had not made him wear a condom.
"But I don't want to be pregnant. I'm a man! I can't be pregnant" Skeesy immediately shut up. She had just admitted to being a man. She had just given away the fact that she was not really this man's wife.
"You may once have been a man, but you are not anymore. You're now my beautiful wife and we are going to have a family!"
Skeesy was stunned. This man knew that she used to be a man? And he seemed happy about it? Nothing was making sense. Was all this a dream? She placed her borrowed hands over her eyes and said "Dear God. Let this be a dream. I will reform my ways. Let me wake up and everything be returned to normal"
"Is something the matter sweetheart? We should celebrate! We should be on our honeymoon! We have money now. We don't need to go straight home. How about we stop somewhere nice, have a lovely lunch then perhaps get a room for the night?"
Skeesy picked up on the word stop. "Yes! Stop! I don't want to go home. We should go back to Barracuda beach. There are lots of nice places there"
"I'm not sure that's the best idea. The twins are there. They will want the medallion back. We would have to hide and I don't want to hide you. How about a different resort town? What about Indian Beach? The turnoff is just ahead"
"No! I want to return to Barracuda beach" Skeesy decided she needed to be assertive. "And I want the medallion back. I want to try it again"

Meanwhile Bruce had walked with the twins to where they had parked the car. It wasn't there. Where was Janet? Why would he have moved the car? "It's gone!" she exclaimed
"What's gone?"
"The car. It was parked here" Bruce didn't need to pretend to be concerned. Concern and alarm were written all over her face.
"Shit!" swore the twin in the brown dress "And you said the medallion was in the car?"
Bruce had no idea where the medallion was, but she knew the twins would be upset if she didn't come up with a reason for it to go missing. She silently nodded.
