Part 1
The year was 1957.
On a party Traci Rowland-Coffey was welcoming her daughter Alliene—well, actually, her "former body" daughter from a previous marriage and body. It all happened because a group of scientists had discovered that people switched bodies at birth, and Traci Rowland-Coffey, or rather, Harvey Coffey, a wealthy businessman, was also affected. As a result, he had to return to his original female body and become Traci Coffey. The name itself was chosen at random because Harvey refused to name herself. This also led to a divorce from his wife, who believed it was culturally inappropriate to be married to a woman, and took their daughter. Harvey/Traci also faced the risk of losing his company because, according to his grandfather's will, only men could take over. His friend Ronald came to his aid, marrying him, taking over the company, and adopting the surname Coffey. Five years have passed since the swap by birth, and much has changed since then. Harvey has gone from a masculine entrepreneur dripping with testosterone to a charming, feminine housewife with a couple of children who will eventually take over the company. And although Traci no longer runs the company, she still has influence over its future. Of course, there were still issues with her previous family: his wife married another man, and his daughter never knew her father. To Alliene, Traci had always been that annoying, sometimes cool, aunt who craved affection and Alliene refused to acknowledge that Traci was once her father, which broke Traci's heart. She hoped her daughter would one day understand.
Part 2
It was 1952 year.
Harvey was devastated. He had just returned from a "correction" where he had been restored to his original body, the body of the woman that she wanted back. He tried to appeal to his lawyers, but the new Swapped by Birth law was merciless. Furthermore, when word got out, his wife filed for divorce on the grounds of physical incompatibility caused by SbB, which court quickly obtained. She also took their daughter with her, telling Harvey he could visit them but would never be her father again.
Worse still, the board announced they had initiated proceedings to remove me from the company because a woman shouldn't be in charge, especially without a husband. I was trying to appeal, but it would be a difficult battle with a high probability of failure. Then, however, my friend Ronald came along and proposed an alternative solution: we would get married, he would take my last name and I would take his, and we would run the company together. Of course, the Swapped by Birth marriage proceedings wouldn't be possible until a year after that, and by then the board would have kicked me out. So he proposed an additional solution: a formal proposal, which would allow him, as a partner, to serve as acting president long enough to delay the board's decision. In desperation, I agreed.
Part 3
The engagement took place shortly afterward; it was formal and grand; one might even think it was a wedding. I wore a beautiful dress, hat, and heels, all provided by Ronald. I wanted to wear a suit, but he convinced me that it wasn't appropriate in my new body, and eventually, though reluctantly, I agreed. Plus, I didn't have my own wardrobe anyway, or rather, I only had my old men's wardrobe. The owner of my body wanted to trade her clothes for mine, but I refused, so the only feminine outfit I had was the dress she brought for swap back. And so we moved on to a formal engagement, quite a large one, to which we invited family members, friends, and board members (they are here only to eliminate any arguments about throwing me out).
We were just about to exchange our engagement vows when someone from the back near the boardroom shouted softly, "What a pair of fags you are!" which immediately infuriated me, especially since it was Aron, whom I'd been friends with before and we'd hit on the women together while traveling. I almost thought I'd lose it, but Ronald calmed me down and said we'd deal with him later. I don't know why, but those words calmed me down, and we completed the engagement without a hitch.
Part 4
Over the next year, we didn't have an easy ride. The comments like at our engagement party was a rare one, but not the only one; people were constantly whispering behind our backs. The idea of "Swap by Birth" was new, so the proper social order hadn't yet been established on what to do with those who experienced it. In our case, the company decided for us. I was suspended from my CEO duties and handed over to Ronald. I was assigned the role of, as one board member put it, "the trophy of the company and the CEO." I was to attend various social events with my fiancé or on his behalf. Regarding my wardrobe, Ronald decided it was inappropriate for a woman and his future wife to wear men's clothes. I reluctantly agreed, and we sold all my old men's clothes. In return, Ronald bought me all new women's clothes.
Well, he did since I couldn't afford anything because my wife took half of her assets during the divorce, and the other half was tied to the company. After I was expelled, I was essentially penniless, completely at Ronald's mercy. As for the women's clothing, despite myself, I have to admit it's not the worst. The high heels don't bother you once you get used to them, and the dresses are mostly loose and comfortable. As for our relationship, no, we haven't had sex yet, our future marriage will be purely "businesslike." We even sleep in separate rooms, though I have to admit, despite myself, that I'm starting to have strange dreams about us. Maybe we'll decide to spend our wedding night together after all.
Part 5
Harvey was furious. With an hour left until the wedding, he learned a lot of revelations. For starters, his wife was at the wedding. He'd invited her, but only courteously. He didn't think she'd accept, and she'd also come with her new lover. Furthermore, the board announced that he had been completely written out of the company and they handed everything over to Ronald, making him/her completely dependent on him. Furthermore, Ronald agreed with this decision, telling him that he'd become too feminine over the past year, and that a woman should be a housewife. Therefore, he would have no influence over the company. Furthermore, he informed him that he had relinquished custody of his daughter in exchange for regular visits, as he didn't believe he had a chance of winning. Furthermore, Ronald became the owner and heir to the Rowland fortune, or soon Rowland-Coffey. Harvey was said by Ronald to stop referring to himself by his old name and male pronouns; it was unladylike and damaging to their image.
But what infuriated Harvey the most, however, was when Ronald told him their marriage would remain purely business-related and they wouldn't sleep together. To his own surprise, Harvey was dissatisfied with this. A year ago, he would have been happy with it, but after a year without sex and suppressing it, his mind had changed and he was eagerly awaiting it. He was even willing to risk getting pregnant (though in the back of his mind, he had feeling that he might have to do it to pass on the Coffey dynasty) if he could be in the same bed with Ronald.
Suddenly, one of his bridesmaids, Ronald's sister (and Harvey's former lover), walked in and said, "You look so good, Traci. A wedding is a woman's best day." Harvey, feeling he could trust her with this, told the truth. "Ronald said there would be no wedding night."
"Oh, you know what, I'll try to convince him, after the ceremony, maybe that's how it is."
And suddenly Traci's good mood returned.
Part 6
"So I have some interesting ideas that could extend the company's growth," Harvey said, enthusiastic after the wedding ceremony as she and her now-husband were preparing for their wedding night.
"That's very sweet, honey, but you know very well that women don't running and taking care of business."
"Of course I know, after all, it was also the policy under me when I ran the company, but nothing stops a wife from suggesting certain things to her husband."
"You're right, honey," Ronald said, then added, "I admit I'm surprised by your enthusiasm, considering that a year ago we agreed that there would be nothing sexual of this marriage, it would be purely business one, but my sister convinced me to do the wedding night and something else."
"Well, you see, times change, and the body, especially a weak and female one, has its needs, needs that, in my case, were suppressed for a year, and I need some kind of... outlet and...Wait, what do I mean by a something else?" Harvey asked, surprised.
"You see, my sister suggested not only us for our wedding night, but also something more, and she's already taken care of it. We're going on a honeymoon to the south of France right after the wedding," Ronald replied.
"I have to admit, Wow, I wasn't expecting such a nice gift, but what about the company?" Harvey said, pleasantly surprised.
"I'm sure the company will handle it for a month," Ronald said confidently, then added, "and now I think it's time to move on to work Mrs. Rowland." They turned off the lights and began their marital duties.
Part 7
I was just sunbathing on the beach. It was actually my first vacation since I was a teenager. And my first honeymoon, actually. My ex-wife and I didn't go on a honeymoon because I thought it would be too much of a break for the company. Ronald, however, had a more relaxed approach, so we'll have plenty of time in southern France. I have been putting sunscreen to avoid getting sunburned while he was getting out of the water. I admit, it was probably the best time of my life. I hadn't been able to simply enjoy myself in so long, and although I felt frustrated about losing my privileges and place in the company, my love for my husband made up for it. Yes, love. There's no point in hiding it anymore; we were truly in love, we understood each other perfectly, and we were the perfect couple.
It's no wonder, considering we'd been friends since childhood. We spent our honeymoon swimming, sunbathing, visiting monuments, and, of course, having sex. I received many compliments, and many men looked at me with lust, which Ronald reacted with jealousy. There was no denying it, I was a beautiful woman. My husband, however, didn't have to worry about me cheating on him; he was my rock. Moreover, even though I lost my name and my place in the company, Ronald was kind enough to at least listen to my suggestions.
Part 8
"So, how was work, honey?" Traci said to her husband.
"Just like any other day, thanks to your suggestion, we had a good route" her husband replied.
"You see, honey, a woman's intuition works wonders," Traci replied flirtatiously, approaching her husband in her nightgown. Then she added, "Speaking of wonders, I have news for you, can you guess what it is?"
"Uhm, you have a new dress?" George guessed. "That too, but not that one, keep guessing," Traci replied.
After a dozen or so failed guesses, Traci finally lost her patience. "Oh, to think I probably used to be a bit dense about this too." She recalled a similar situation with her ex-wife, and then replied: "I'm pregnant, we're having a baby." This revelation shocked Ronald so much that he fainted. "And they say women have weak nerves," Traci said, rolling her eyes. She then tried to wake her husband up.
When Ronald regained his senses, he began asking the standard questions about how this had happened and how she knew about it. Traci calmly replied, "Do you think that after so many lovemaking sessions, this wouldn't have happened? And as for how I found out, I noticed my period was late, so I went to the doctor, and he confirmed that we were having a babies. This means the Coffey line will continue; ans it'll be easy with twins." Hearing this, Ronald fainted again.
Part 9
"So, isn't it bad?" Traci asked.
"Honey, you look beautiful in every dress; you can't even look like someone who had 4 children."
"Five, I know Emilia isn't made of this flesh and she treats me more like an aunt than a parent, but she's still my child," Traci sighed with a slight sadness. Ronald, recalling the situation at yesterday's party at the Homans', immediately began to comfort her. "Of course, honey, and nothing will change that, but these five years since Swap by Birth have meant you've had even more children, and even though the board kicked you out of the company, you still have some influence on it, even if indirectly through me. You're a wonderful woman, and nothing will change that."
"You're right, honey, I am wonderful and extraordinary, because who else would you be able to talk to about football or the stock market like a man? I had nothing in common with my ex-wife, she was only interested in romance novels and knew nothing about sports."
"Of course, honey, when it comes to a wife, I've found a unique opportunity," said Ronald.
"We've also managed to secure the future of the Rowland and Coffey families. If our company continues to thrive, the five heirs will help."
Ronald paled. "Wait, are you telling me you're pregnant again?" Traci shook her head. "Oh, men. No, silly, I was talking about my first daughter, despite her mother's stupidity, I won't let her lose her future."
"Oh, right, I forgot about that, okay, honey, so are you ready to go?" Ronald replied, reassured. "A few minutes ago, honey," said Traci.
Part 10
It was 1959 year.
Seven years had passed since Traci became a woman, and much had changed since then. She had become a wife, mother, and lady of the Rowland-Coffey family. She felt a fulfillment she hadn't felt before when she was a man. She felt Swapped by Birth was what helped her, as if her spirit had finally found its rightful place. In the case of her first daughter, who is now entering her teens, although she still doesn't see her as a parent, she does see her as her favorite aunt, and for now, that's enough. Her marriage to Ronald is wonderful; they jointly manage the company (she runs it from the shadows, so the board doesn't know) and it has never been so profitable.
When they have some free time, they use it to travel the world to beautiful places. Sometimes they do so with their children, but although they love them dearly, even they need moments of respite. This was the case this time, too, during their shared vacation to the Mediterranean. In the clothes she wore, it was hard to believe that this elegant woman in her beautiful dress, hat, shoes, and stylish handbag was once a man. It amused her that she now had hundreds of handbags, yet in another life she knew nothing about them, let alone the shoes and clothes she had accumulated in just a few years than she had owned in her entire life as a man. Besides, if by some miracle she had the opportunity to return to a male body, she wouldn't. Besides it would be hard to explain to her children, but also she truly feels like a truly woman and has a wonderful husband with whom she always finds common ground.
"Life is wonderful," she said to herself.
