Eric called the clinic first thing the next morning and 10 minutes later, he and Josh were on their way. Both were too scared of what they were about to learn to say much.
They were quickly shown into an examination room and Dr. Andrews appeared a moment later. The stress was visible on his face, and he skipped the usual pleasantries.
"Look, there is no easy way to say this, so I am going to come right out with it: it appears there was a mix-up with the stem cell treatment. You were given an injection from the wrong vial."
"What do you mean, 'the wrong vial'?" Eric asked.
"As you know we are running several experiments here and the vial we drew stem cells from was not part of the masculinization project."
"So... what was it?" Josh asked, slightly irritated at the build up.
"It was from the reproductive regenesis project. That project is designed to restore fertility to women who have had their uterus/ovaries removed for cancer treatment. It works by triggering the body to regrow their lost organs."
"Does that mean I'm... growing a uterus? Inside of ME?" Eric stuttered out.
"Truthfully, I don't know. These cells have never been implanted in a male, let alone a human, before so we can only speculate at this point. We'll run some blood work and get you some scans to confirm what's happening. I will say that... well... err," Dr. Andrews looked towards Josh.
"It's okay, whatever you have to say, you can say in front of my son," said Eric.
"Well the sudden expression of female sex hormones would be consistent with some of the... symptoms... and feelings you have indicated to me before."
"What does this mean overall... for me? Am I going to... die?" Eric squeaked out and Josh reached out for his hand.
"No, I would not go that far. I'm not worried it will prove a fatal mix-up. It's more just... we don't know what to expect. For now, I'm going to draw some blood and get an ultrasound setup in the next room."
Eric and Josh followed Dr. Andrews, exchanging glances of concern. Dr. Andrews had Eric remove his pants, leaving on his underwear, and lay back on the exam table. The cold gel poured onto Eric's stomach made him shiver.
Both Eric and Josh stared intently at the monitor as the doctor moved the probe, stopped, moved it again, and fiddled with the knobs/buttons. They had no idea what they were looking at, but Dr. Andrews stared with such concentration that they waited for him to break the silence.
"This is, quite frankly, more remarkable than I could have imagined," Dr. Andrews finally said.
"Remarkable... good or bad?" Eric asked.
"Remarkable scientifically. You indeed have developed a uterus and at least one ovary is clearly visible, roughly in the position we'd expect it in a female."
"You're... joking right?"
"No. Obviously there is only so much I can tell from this kind of scan, but the image is textbook."
"But wait, I don't have a vagina. Am I going to develop one?!" Eric asked in horror.
"I have a hunch on this, but to confirm I need you to take off your underwear. Maybe your son should step outside?"
It felt like an ironic ask, given Josh had just been inside his dad, fucking him senseless, nearly 48 hours prior, but obviously that was not something Eric was going to reveal. He nodded at his son.
"I'll be right outside dad."
Eric took off his underwear and Dr. Andrews guided him onto his hands and knees. Just over 24 hours ago, Josh had him in that exact same position, but it was a much more pleasurable experience.
Dr. Andrews put a different gel on one hand and eased two gloved fingers into Eric's asshole as the ultrasound probe pressed up against his lower abdomen. Feeling the firm fingers inside him, Eric's cock sprung to life, bumping up against the probe and Dr. Andrews's other hand. He must have been hearing things, because he thought he heard Dr. Andrews let out a little moan of excitement.
A third finger entered Eric's hole and he felt the doctor exploring his insides, fingers going in and out and rotating. Externally, Dr. Andrews moved the probe around, his fingers rubbing up against Eric's hard cock. Suddenly, the fingers in Eric's ass met a spot Eric had no idea existed, causing him to catch his breath as an orgasm overwhelmed him. Ropes of cum painted the exam table as his hole clamped down on the fingers inside his ass.
Eric finally relaxed, breathing heavily as the doctor removed the probe and his fingers. Dr. Andrews made no comments but he winked as he took off his gloves and handed Eric a towel while he washed his hands. When Eric had cleaned up, Dr. Andrews had him to put his clothes back on and invited Josh to rejoin them.
"So what's up? What did you find out?" Josh asked with apprehension in his voice.
"In medical school, you learn that the body is full of mysteries and capabilities to adapt. We have no exception here. Eric, you asked if you were going to grow a vagina. Well, you kind of already have. The new uterus has merged into the very end of your digestive tract, causing your rectum to take on a hybrid vaginal/rectal form."
"That's... what?" Eric turned to his son who looked as confused and in shock as he was.
"So what is my dad supposed to do? Can you remove everything and put it back to normal?"
"Potentially, but for now it's too soon," Dr. Andrews replied. "We can remove the reproductive organs in another few months when we're sure they're fully done developing. Any sooner and there's a chance they'd just regrow again. "
"So I'll be like this for a while then? Will there be other changes? Am I going to grow breasts?" Eric asked.
"No, I would not anticipate more external changes. The treatment was developed focusing specifically on the reproductive tract. Restoring fertility. Luckily that shouldn't be an issue since you're not having receptive anal sex, otherwise I'd have to caution you about well... pregnancy," Dr. Andrews said.
Eric and Josh turned to each other with panic running through their minds. How many loads had Josh pumped into his dad that past weekend?
"I mean, you said yourself that you're not sure everything is developed anyways," Eric suggested, trying to stay calm.
"Yes, we just know from our tests with lab rats that they tend to be most fertile in the early stages of the treatment, before the body acclimates. That's probably why your sex drive has been abnormally elevated."
"Oh. I see. Well... good thing that's not an issue for us... I mean me."
"Look there's a lot of unknowns here, I realize this is all shocking and a lot to take in. I wish I could go back in time and prevent this from happening. For now, I'm going to get some blood work and advise you to take time to process everything. We'll continue the monitoring and follow-ups. If there is any hint of good news, it is that there is nothing I see that makes me think you're in any danger."
Dr. Andrews offered Eric more assurances and escorted him and Josh to get Eric's blood drawn for more tests.
**************************************
Eric was still in a haze of shock so Josh volunteered to drive them home, but his haze was lifted when Josh suddenly turned off the highway onto a quiet side road.
Their eyes met and Josh was the first to speak: "So are we going to talk about... this past weekend... in light of what we learned today?"
"Josh, I am so sorry. This whole thing is my fault. I mean what if I'm pregnant?" Eric was overwhelmed with emotion.
"I think that would be... kinda nice," Josh said quietly.
"Nice?"
"Yeah, I mean... I love you dad. You're the best person I know and you've been a great father to me."
"It would be so wrong, on so many levels."
"So was what we did this weekend, but it didn't feel wrong, did it?"
"No, it felt... amazing."
Josh's hand reached out and grabbed his dad's. Eric turned towards his son and their lips met. Josh took a quick look around and leaned back over and took his dad's face in his hands, kissing him slowly and gently. But after a few of these intimate pecks, Josh and Eric felt the temperature rise in the car and their mouths became hungrier, tongues fighting as their hands explored the other's body.
Eric's hands found his son's zipper, and he whipped out Josh's rock hard, 8" cock. In one breath, he swallowed it whole, running his tongue up and down the thick shaft as Josh ran his hands through his dad's hair. After a few minutes, Josh grunted and exploded in his dad's mouth. Eric swallowed every drop, letting none of the teenage seed spill out. Josh pulled his dad of his cock and kissed him deeply, his tongue getting the last remaining drops of his own cum.
As they buckled up and rode the rest of the way home, they felt calmer than they had all day.
