Before I get into the story, let's get the legal stuff out of the way. I am above the age of 18 at the time of writing this story. I own all rights to this story. Any likeness in name or actions to any of the characters in this story with someone in real life are purely coincidental. If it is illegal for you to read/view something like this in your area, you should leave now. This story includes scenes of male/male sex with high school aged men. If this is considered offensive, you should, once again, leave. If nothing else, then read my excerpt, and enjoy.

• means a change in scene. ~*~ means a complete change in point of view.

I'm what you would call a dabbler. I like to do stuff at least once. That is why I am trying my hand at writing fantasy. I already have a love story and a horror story started on nifty, I figured I ought to write a fantasy instead. This one is definitely a little different than anything I've ever read, but I kinda liked the idea so I ran with it. As always, I wanna know what you think. Enjoy.

Eden-1 Ancient History

Sitting here in the delivery room, I can't help but marvel at how different the process of child birth is from the holographic videos of the original way the process took place. The new process is much more tedious and time consuming, but there has not been a stillborn baby in almost three hundred years. How is this possible? Well, you can thank a militant group from the year 2009 for that one. It all started with my ancestors. That is why I am a rich man today. My name is Colt Henderson, and this is a tale of how the world was forever changed.

"Tanner Kelly! Wake up!"

I rapidly picked my head up. "27!"

The classroom erupted into laughter. I was momentarily confused. Then I remembered that we were in lit class. "27? Well, maybe you'll be able to stay awake in detention this afternoon."

"Mr. Harris, I have practice this afternoon. There is no way I can do detention."

"I'm good friends with Coach Kelly. I think I'll be able to work things out."

I slumped in my chair. Having two dads that worked at the same school was a total drag. "Yes sir."

I waited for him to turn back to the board and I pulled out my phone to text my guy.

Me: Seriously, like one of my dads needs to get fired or something.

Greenly: Yeah, and then you would be upset that you ever said that.

Me: You know, you don't have to be right all the time.

Greenly: It's a gift, babe. Fall asleep again?

Me: Yeah.

Greenly: Still having those nightmares?

Me: Yeah.

Greenly: We'll talk about it in lunch. I'll see you in a few. Love you.

Me: You too.

"Tanner, see me after class."

I looked up to see that his back was still turned to me. "Why?"

"So I can collect your cell phone."

I sighed. "Yes sir."

The rest of class went by without incident. I didn't text anymore, and I didn't fall asleep. Did that help my dad get any less pissed? No it didn't. As soon as the bell rang, I knew to stay seated. He made sure everyone else was out of the room before he went to close the door.

"Tanner, that's twice this week that you have fallen asleep in class, son. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, pop. Nothing's wrong."

He pulled my chin up so I was looking in his eyes. "Son, tell me what's bothering you."

"Nothing is."

"Let me see your cell phone."

"Why?"

"Do not why me, young man."

"Sorry, pop." I said as I handed him my phone. He slid the button on the touch screen to unlock it, but then had to ask for the passcode. "It's 8806."

He cocked his eyebrow. "Why that? That's a pretty random number, Tanner."

"It's the day Greenly and me became official."

He smiled at me. "It's Greenly and I, Tanner. Well, you share a few things in common with your Pop then."

"What do you mean?"

"My passcode is the day your Daddy and me got together."

"I thought yours was 1686?"

"It is."

"Well, that's the year. What about the actual date?"

"Smart ass. It's January 6, 1986."

I gave him a cheeky smile as he began scrolling through my conversation with Greenly. "Tanner, what nightmares are you having?"

"It's nothing. I just keep dreaming that something bad is going to happen. Like, the population is gonna plummet really soon."

"Well, son, you don't need to keep this stuff inside. Next time you have a nightmare, come to our room. We'll talk you through it."

"Pop, I'm a little old for that."

"You are never too old to talk to your parents. Hell, I might start surveying your room. Any sign of nightmares, you will sleep in between us."

"Fine Pop, I'll come talk to you."

"Good. Now go to class son. I'll email your next teacher your excuse."

I gave him a hug as another student walked in the room. "Mr. Harris, I was wondering if you had a minute?"

"Patricia! Of course I have some time. I'm just finishing up. Give me just a minute."

The girl walked back outside, and I turned to look at my Pop. "When are you gonna start going by Kelly? You haven't been a Harris since before I was born."

"Regardless of how our coworkers are, not every student is gonna be accepting of your Daddy and me being married. Some people don't even recognize it as a real marriage. Just because it is illegal here in Georgia doesn't make it any less real."

"Well, I still think you should consider it. I get tired of people not knowing you're my Pop."

"Well, I'll talk with your Daddy about it. Speaking of him, he wants to talk to you after lunch."

"Alright Pop. Well I gotta go. I'll see you at home."

"You'll see me in detention."

"Ugh. Okay."

When I walked into the door of my next class, I spotted my guy sitting down in his seat in the back. His blonde hair was cropped close to his head, giving him the appearance of almost being bald, but I liked it like that. It made it so that there was a seamless transition from his hair to his facial hair, which he knew I loved. Those big brown eyes of his made eye contact with me, and he smiled the smile that never failed to make me visibly swoon. You could see his teeth, but it was a little lopsided and goofy looking, and that is why I loved it.

"Where were you?" Greenly asked as I sat down beside him in our European History class.

"Talkin' to my Pop. He found out about the nightmares."

"I told you to stop texting in class, didn't I?"

"Yeah, you did, but I wanted to talk to you."

"Well, I wanted to talk to you, too, but you should know by now how he is. He has eyes in the back of his head when it comes to you."

"Yeah I know. It's like borderline creepy."

"That's a parent for ya."

"Yeah it is. So, you wanna have some fun this afternoon?"

"Fun?" He asked as he looked over at me. I wiggled my eyebrows at him. "Hell yeah! Yours or mine?"

"How about in the bed of your truck?"

I saw him reach under his desk and adjust himself. "Damn, baby, you know how to get me worked up."

I winked at him. "That's my gift, babe."

"Oh is it? Well, we'll see how well your gift works later."

"Can't wait."

"Boys!"

"Sorry Mrs. Johnson." We replied in unison.

I could tell that through the rest of class Greenly was thinking about us in his truck bed that afternoon. It was like he had to constantly adjust himself. I couldn't contain my smile. I loved how we had already been together for three years, and yet we never failed to get each other hot and bothered. His body definitely helped in the turn on process. He was 5'11", and built like you wouldn't believe. His muscles weren't huge, and he was definitely no body builder, but they were there and they were pronounced. I never ceased to feel safe when I was wrapped in his arms. Don't get me wrong, though, our relationship isn't always perfect. We have had our blow outs, but I have a policy. If one never goes to bed mad, then one will never wake up alone. So far, it has worked for us. Even though we don't sleep with each other at night all the time, it still helps to have our issues resolved before we go to sleep. I for one was just glad that we were finally out of that "test how strong the relationship is" phase. We had already been through so much together that honestly nothing seemed like a big deal anymore.

"Will you stop thinking about me." Greenly said, effectively pulling me from my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"You always get that dorky look on your face when you think about me, and I find it irresistible. I wanna jump you right now, so stop thinking about me."

"Sorry, bud." I said with a laugh.

"No worries. Now come on. It's time for lunch."

Lunch was uneventful enough. Greenly and I spent the time talking with the rest of the guys on the football team. It's amazing how accepting of a gay relationship people can be when you can, A) beat their ass without breaking a sweat, and B) happen to be the starting quarterback and a starting fullback on the varsity team.

At the end of lunch, I told Greenly and the guys that I had to go meet with my dad before fourth block.

"What did you do now? I swear, Kelly, you're always in trouble." My best friend, Braxton Lewis, said.

"Don't know, Brax. Mr. Harris just said I have to go to his office after lunch."

A couple of the guys at the table gave me knowing looks, and Greenly stood up to walk with me. "Save me a seat in chem, Brax."

"Will do."

Greenly grabbed my hand, and we started walking towards the field and my dad's office. "So, what do you think this is about?"

"Who knows. All I know is Pop told me to walk up here and see him."

"It's so weird to hear you call him Mr. Harris, by the way."

"You're telling me. I asked Pop today why he can't just go by Mr. Kelly, and he said that the students wouldn't understand. In my opinion, that's a cop out because they don't care about us."

"Tanner, do you even remember how many asses we had to kick when we first came out?"

"But still, everyone respects us now, so what's the big deal?"

"We're seniors and get to leave at the end of this year. Your dads work here. They don't get to leave."

"You know, I hate it when you make sense."

"You love it and you know it."

"You keep telling yourself that."

"Okay, well I gotta head to class. I'll see you at practice, baby."

"You'll see me after. I have detention, remember?"

"Oh yeah. Bye bud." He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, and then bounded off for his class. I proceeded to walk into the field house, and to my dad's office.

"So, Tanner, what's this about falling asleep in class again?"

"Daddy, it's nothing. I'll do better, I promise."

"Well, what about the texting? Pop told me you were texting Greenly."

"I was. I was completely lost in Pop's lesson, so I started texting Greenly."

"Son, how many times have we told you not to text in class?"

"I know daddy, but I don't see the harm in it. I'm not texting for answers. I was texting to talk to my boyfriend."

"You know how I talked to my boyfriend in high school?"

"How?"

"In between classes. You should do the same. The next time we find out about the texting in class, you won't have a cell phone to text with. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. Now about these nightmares. What are they about, son?"

"It's just disturbing stuff. Like half the population is suddenly gone one day."

"Well, I wonder what that means? You want me to call Gramps and have him set you up an appointment?"

"Daddy, you know him being my shrink has never worked. I can't talk to him about stuff. He always babies me. I'll be fine."

"Alright, but I agree with Pop. The next nightmare you have, come wake us up. We'll talk through it."

"Okay, daddy. Can I go now?"

"Yeah. You going to Greenly's after detention?"

"Yeah. I think so."

"Alright, well be home before dinner please. I would like to eat dinner with both of my favorite guys every now and then."

"Alright daddy. I'll be there."

"So, how was detention?" Greenly asked me as we pulled away from the school.

"Sucked. Pop made me read out loud the whole time."

"What were you reading?"

"The Color Purple."

"I love that book."

"You would."

"What's that mean?"

"You love every book Greenly. It's in your nature."

"And your nature is music, but you don't see me sassing you about it, do you?"

"Of course not because I rock."

"My world."

"All in good time."

"I have been thinking about this all day. I've been walking around all day with a damn hard on that could cut steel."

"Well, we might need to put it to good use, then."

I was reaching over to grip his erection, when I heard an interesting story on the radio.

"The reports are saying it is a mutated form of flu with no possible antidote or vaccine. If caught early enough, it may be treatable. People are cautioned to wear masks and wash their hands regularly."

"Damn, you don't think that's here, do you?"

"I certainly hope not, Tanner."

"Me too. Pull over there. It's private enough. I want you in me."

"Damn I love when you say shit like that."

Greenly pulled over on the side of the road, and we hopped out of the cab of the truck and climbed into the bed. In a feat of typical teenage horniness, we wasted no time in senseless foreplay. We both had one goal. Mine was to be straddling him, and his was to be planted in me. We took about enough time for us both to pull our pants and underwear off. I grabbed the lube we keep in his tool box, and applied a generous amount to his cock and my ass. He teased me just a bit by applying gentle pressure with his head against my entrance, and then he sank it all in. All seven and half uncut inches planted firmly in me. He gave me a few seconds to get adjusted, and then relinquished full control to me.

I must admit, that I am a bit of a wild animal when it comes to Greenly. That particular day was no exception. While still impaled on his cock, I gyrated my hips and ground into him. Greenly's eyes rolled into the back of his head , and he let out an animalistic moan. That was the moment I knew I had full reign. I lifted myself off him, and slammed myself back down. I set a nice rhythm, and started in on the dirty talk that I knew my baby so loved. About ten minutes into it, I could tell he was getting close to cumming.

"Are you close, baby?"

"Fuck. Ye...yeah. Ride that cock, boy."

I must admit that Greenly talking dirty is what got me to my boiling point. Greenly was never one for appropriate dirty talk, so when he got it right, it always set me off. Right before I was about to cum, I got an extremely weird sensation. It wasn't one of those pre-orgasm sensations, it was totally new and different, and it disturbed me a lot.

"Fuck!" I yelled, like always, as I was cumming. That orgasm was the most intense one I have ever had. Any preceding it or following it never came close. As usual, my spastic orgasm triggered Greenly's. He let out a roar, literally a roar, as he filled me with his essence. That's when I knew something was different about this time. I usually got a warm sensation and felt each blast of his cum, but this time, things were a bit off.

I felt every blast, but it seemed like they were going deeper into me. I had no idea what was going on, but I quickly forgot all about it. Greenly raised up and kissed me hard. When we were done kissing, we rested our foreheads against each other.

"I love you so much, Tanner. That was amazing."

"I love you, Greenly."

"You are so amazing, Munch."

"I wanna hear that when your dick isn't in my ass."

"I'll tell you that whenever you wanna hear it. Just say the word, Munch."

"Just...tell me it's forever."

"And a day, Munch."

He planted another kiss on me, and we separated. We pulled our clothes back on and hopped back in his truck. I reached over and grabbed his hand. He pulled it to his mouth and kissed it. "I mean it, Munch. And a day."

My alarm clock woke me up at the set time. However, instead of music, I got an urgent news report.

"It appears that this new virus is not a strand of the flu. There have been reports of fatalities involved in each one of these cases. There is no known vaccine or cure. It is advised that people stay in doors or wear protective masks. The victims have all been female. Proceed through the day with caution."

The news freaked me out, but then I felt nauseous. I ran to the bathroom, and almost immediately started throwing up. It was weird. I didn't feel sick, I just needed to throw up. As I was vomiting, my dads came rushing into the bathroom.

"Tanner, are you okay?" My pop asked as he rubbed my back.

"I don't know, Pop. I just had to throw up." As soon as I finished talking, I started throwing up again.

"Jonah, we need to take him to the hospital," my Pop said.

"I'm fine, Pop. I promise."

"Rex, let's just let him be today," my Daddy said, "But Tanner, if you're sick tomorrow, doctor's office without a single protest. Understood?"

"Yes sir, Daddy. I understand."

"Good. Hurry up and get dressed, son. We don't want you to be late."

"I'll be ready as soon as I can."

"Alright, bud. Get downstairs soon. We'll have you some breakfast ready."

"Thanks."

They left my bathroom, and I hopped in the shower. I spent a few minutes just letting the water cascade over my body. When I was soaping up, I couldn't help but feel like things were a little different. I spent a few minutes soaping my chest, and I realized that my nipples were extremely sensitive. So much so that my dick got hard. Painfully hard. I continued soaping my chest, and without warning, I came. It was intense. I had only came a few times before without touching my dick. Those times were all with Greenly planted deeply inside me.

I continued to wash my body, and then hopped out of the shower. I took a look in the mirror, and I couldn't help but smile. My dads had yet to tell me which one was my biological father, but I was leaning more towards my daddy. I had his ice blue eyes and wavy black hair. The only reason I didn't know for sure is because I also had the same little heart shaped mark behind my ear that my Pop had, and my lips were just as full as his were. When it came to height, that had to have come from my surrogate. Both of my dads were well into 6 foot, and there I was, 17 and a solid 5'6". That's why Greenly called me Munch. He had about 5 inches on me in the height department. Even though I was short, I didn't want people to think I was weak, so I developed myself nicely. I had never been into bulk, so I developed powerful, lean muscles.

After admiring myself, I went into my room and threw on some of Greenly's sweat pants, his baseball hoodie pullover, and my letter jacket. I threw on a pair of Toms, and walked downstairs.

"I swear, bud, don't you own anything that hasn't belonged to Greenly at some point?" My Pop asked as I walked into the kitchen.

"Rex, leave him alone. I remember someone crying in high school because they couldn't wear the letter jacket belonging to a young Jonah Kelly."

I started laughing. "No way! You cried?"

"That was a long time ago, Tanner."

"Why couldn't he wear it, Daddy?"

"Well, your Gramps was cool as hell when I was in high school and didn't care at all that I was gay," my Daddy said.

"However, your Pawpaw was a preacher. There was not a chance in hell that he would have been okay with me being gay. Less chance that he would have been okay with me wearing my boyfriends letter jacket."

"So, that's why you cried?"

"He cried because in one of his rare moments of rebellion against preacher man, he took my letter jacket from the backseat of my car and tried to wear it in his house. I wouldn't let him get out of the car. He said, and I quote, Jonah, why won't you let me wear it? Don't you love me?' To which I responded, Yes I do, and I want you to be alive to love tomorrow.'"

"You thought Pawpaw would have killed him?"

"I know Pawpaw would have killed him."

"Jonah, my father accepted me when I came out in college. A year or two earlier wouldn't have hurt him."

"No, baby, it would have hurt you, and this ass is just too much to waste over getting killed because a father can't handle his son being gay. There was no way I was gonna let that ass go to waste." My Daddy grabbed my pop by the ass and pulled him in close. They started a hardcore make out session right there in the kitchen.

"Guys! I'm still in here."

My Daddy broke the kiss only to start sucking on my Pop's neck. My Pop looked at me. "Then make yourself scarce."

I'll admit I was extremely happy to know that my dads were still in love with each other, but the whole sex in the kitchen thing made me sick. They are my dads after all. I walked into the living room and called Greenly.

"Baby, where are you?"

"I'm on my way there. Just turned on Sycamore."

"Okay, well don't come in."

"Why?"

At that moment I heard a loud moan come from the kitchen. "Dads are totes fucking in the kitchen right now."

"Dude, your dads have sex more than us."

"What are you talking about? We had sex 3 times yesterday."

"We did, didn't we? Well, how about another go in the truck before school?"

"Oh, we haven't had truck sex in like 3 weeks."

"Yeah, and the last time we did, it was fucking amazing."

"I don't know, baby. It's real cold outside today."

"It's barely October. It's not that cold."

"I don't know. I guess I'm just sensitive right now."

"You feeling okay, Munch?"

"I don't know. I just wanna see you. Get here fast, okay?"

"Just pulled in the driveway. Come on out."

"Coming."

I hung up and grabbed my messenger bag. I was looking everywhere for my keys, and then I remembered I left them in the kitchen the day before. I groaned and then stood outside the kitchen.

"Guys, can I come in and get my keys?"

All of a sudden my keys came flying through the doorway. "See you in class, son." My pop called out followed by another intense moan. I laughed and wanted to puke all at the same time.

"Tanner, are you feeling okay? You look kinda sick, babe."

"Gee, thanks Greenly."

"Kelly, calm down. He's playing concerned boyfriend right now. You do look like shit, though, bud."

"Do I really?"

"You look amazing everyday, babe. Just a little green right now."

"So what, am I fat now, too?"

"What? Baby, you have a great body. I love those abs and pecs, and that ass of yours."

"So you like everything about me but my face? Fuck off, Greenly."

"What the fuck just happened?" Greenly asked Braxton after Tanner walked off.

"Dude, I don't know. That was really weird."

"I should go check on him."

"Dude, this is best friend territory. I got this one."

I was walking down the hall mad as hell. I wanted to hit something. I was getting ready to turn the corner towards my dad's office when someone grabbed my shoulder.

"What the fu...Brax. What's up man?"

"Kelly, what the hell was all that about?"

"I don't know, Brax. He just pisses me off so bad."

"Tanner," he called me by my first name so I knew I was in for a lecture, "all Greenly ever does is dote on you. The boy loves you more than anything in this world. Surely you understand that."

I punched a locker. "Then why doesn't he think I'm attractive?"

"He has literally never looked at another boy the way he looks at you, Tanner. I swear, you and football are the only things I ever hear him talk about. You're his black haired blue eyed prince, dude. Nothing is ever going to change that."

I punched the locker again. "Why is it so hard?"

"What Tanner? What's so hard?"

"Being me!"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

I looked at Brax with tears in my eyes. "I don't know, man. I just don't know." That's when I threw up. I couldn't control it. I just instantly felt sick and threw up. Once I was done, I leaned back against the lockers and slid down. Brax sat next to me and put his arm around me. He pressed his cheek against my forehead.

"Kelly, you need to go to the hospital. I think you're getting sick."

"Can you go get Greenly? I need to apologize."

"Sure thing, bud. I'm all over it."

Greenly walked up and I literally threw myself on him.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to act like that. Please forgive me."

"Munch, don't worry about it. I'm more concerned about you right now. We need to get you to a doctor."

"Okay, let's go."

Greenly walked me to my dad's office. As soon as we got in, I walked straight to his couch and plopped down. Greenly spoke for me.

"Coach Kelly, Tanner needs to go to the hospital."

"What's wrong?"

"I think he might have that new virus."

I don't think I've ever seen my Dad move as fast as he did when Greenly said that. I also don't think I've ever seen him exhibit more strength. He picked me up and carried me. "Daddy, I'm fine."

He completely ignored me and looked at Greenly. "Go tell Rex that I'm taking Tanner to the Emergency Room."

"Yes sir."

My dad walked to his car and placed me in the backseat. "Just hang tight baby boy. I'm gonna get you taken care of."

"I'm fine, Daddy."

"Shh. Calm down. You aren't fine."

"Seriously. I feel fine. I promise."

"Calm down, son. Everything is going to be alright."

"Can Greenly at least come with me?"

"He's ridin with Pop."

"Okay. Well, I'm gonna take a little nap."

Rex ran into the waiting room of the emergency room crying. As soon as he saw Jonah, he ran to him.

"What's wrong with him? It's not the virus, is it?"

"They don't know yet, darlin'. Calm down. He's gonna be alright."

"I can't lose my baby boy, Jonah. I won't survive it."

"Rex, baby, calm down. We aren't losing anybody. We don't know what's wrong with him, but if it were the virus we would have all been quarantined by now."

At that moment, a doctor came out and asked for the parents of Tanner Kelly.

"That's us. We're Tanner's parents."

"He said that a Greenly Henderson would be with you guys. Is he here?"

"That's me." Greenly said.

"Well, I need you to come with me."

"Why?"

"Tanner needs you in the room."

"Oh, okay."

"What's wrong with our son?"

"Tanner has asked us not to tell you until we can explain all of this fully to both him and Greenly."

~*~

It's been a while since I had elementary history, but the virus is the one thing I remember clearly because I was fascinated by it.

In 2009, a militant group, similar but in no way related to the ancient group known as Nazis, developed a virus. The virus was meant to "purify" the earth of the "impure" races. According to the documents of the group, no person was supposed to be left standing that didn't fit their standards. Their scientists were geniuses, but they made several errors. The elements of the virus that were designed to eliminate certain races mutated the moment the virus was released. It went from a search and destroy virus to having two main functions.

The chemical makeup of the virus changed, but it still had the search and destroy aspects. The scientists never predicted that it would mutate the way it did. It started as a flu like virus, but it was quickly discovered to be ultimately fatal. Nothing could cure it. In fact, nothing could even come close to make the infected more comfortable.

After a few weeks, the virus became completely airborne, and those in danger of contracting it were able to find no safe haven. By the year 2013, the virus had eradicated half of the population of the Earth. The human female was extinct.

The males were not affected by the virus in the same way as the women. Instead of killing the men, it instantaneously altered their genetic makeup upon contact. It enabled them to do things that were impossible to do beforehand. Their outward appearance and functions weren't changed. Their insides were the only part affected. Organs that beforehand had no real function were now given one. The male human would never be the same.

~*~

Greenly walked into my room in the ER. He came over and kissed me on the forehead. "How are you feeling, Munch?"

I gave him a weak smile. "Not too great."

"So, what's wrong with you?"

"Um, well..."

"What is it?"

"Maybe we should just wait for the doctor to come back in and explain it all."

"It's not...cancer is it?"

"No! I don't have cancer, babe."

"So, it's the virus, isn't it?"

I just looked at him. I had a hard enough time getting a grip on what was wrong with me, so I knew the information was gonna hit him just as hard. "Kinda."

He broke down. He literally hit the floor crying. I got off the bed and knelt by his side. He threw his arms around me and held me with intense strength. "I can't live without you, Tanner. I can't. You can't be sick, baby. Please tell me you aren't sick."

"Greenly, it's not that simple. Just wait for the doctor to come in. He'll be able to explain it better than I can."

"Okay."

Greenly was definitely shell shocked, but he climbed on the bed with me. He rested his head on my shoulder, and I put my arm around him. I honestly have no idea how I was able to comfort him because the news freaked me out to no end.

We probably had to wait for the doctor to come in for about an hour. When he did, Greenly perked up immediately.

"Doc, what's wrong with Tanner?"

"Are you Greenly Henderson?"

"Yes sir."

"Alright, well I have a few questions for you."

"Okay."

"How long have you been sexually active with Tanner Kelly?"

"Uhh...a little over two years."

"And have you progressed to anal sexual intercourse with him?"

Greenly was blushing a deep crimson color. "Ye..yeah."

"And while partaking in these actions, do you use a condom?"

"Uh...no."

"Okay, do you penetrate Tanner, or does he penetrate you?"

"Well, we usually both like to do each other, but lately I have been fuc...penetrating him."

The doctor turned his attention to me. "And Greenly is the only man you have been sexually active with?"

"Yes sir he is. I already told the other doctor that."

The doctor smiled. "Allow me to be frank for a minute. I would have never been able to be open with my sexuality like you two are when I was your age. I was a football player, and my dad was the mayor of our town. Gay was just not accepted then."

"Doc, we're football players. We know how hard it is to be gay. We just love each other," Greenly said. I grabbed his hand.

"Well, Tanner doesn't need to be playing football anymore. Not for the rest of the season."

"What?! Why?"

"Greenly, babe, let him talk."

"Okay. Well, why can't he play football?"

"Greenly, what on Earth is wrong with you?" My Pop asked as he walked in the room. Greenly was sitting on my hospital bed with his knees pulled to his chest staring blankly ahead.

"Pop, he's borderline catatonic right now. He didn't take my diagnoses too well."

My Daddy rushed to my side immediately. "What's your diagnoses?"

"Wait for the doctor to get back in."

"Okay." He must have heard a sniffle because he rushed to my Pop's side. "Rex, I'm sure it's nothing bad. After all, look at how calm our little Tanner is."

"Jonah, it could be shock."

"You know, I love you but you drive me insane sometimes. Always talking about the what ifs."

"Guys, I'm still in the room, ya know?"

"We know Tanner."

At that moment, the doctor walked in the room. "Are you two Tanner's parents?"

"Yes we are." My Daddy said. "What's wrong with our son?"

"Well, I can't say this is normal because it isn't. In fact, this is the first recorded instance of this anywhere in the world."

"Oh God! What's wrong with our baby?" My Pop sobbed into my Daddy's shoulder.

"Well, I guess a round of congratulations are in order. Tanner is pregnant."

My Daddy laughed out loud. "Thanks for trying to ease the tension, doctor. Now seriously, what's wrong with Tanner?"

"I am being serious. Tanner is pregnant."

"Men can't get pregnant. There is no egg to fertilize; no uterus to house the child."

"His appendix has taken on that role. As far as eggs, it appears his left testicle has taken on a second role. When Greenly's sperm was released into Tanner's body anally, Tanner's left testicle released a series of solidified sperm that upon further examination can be classified as an egg. The paths of the new egg and Greenly's sperm has caused a fertile combination that has attached itself to the wall of his appendix. Tanner is the worlds first pregnant man."

The virus was named Eden--scientists attempt at humor because a woman was responsible for exile from the Garden of Eden and now they no longer exist. While the Eden virus killed women, it transformed men. The appendix became a make shift uterus, and the left testicle is where the new "eggs" were kept. The children born were always exclusively male, but their chromosome structure was different. The XY chromosome was never produced again. All new boys born were exclusively YY.
