Sitting dully, and stunned. The pink envelope still sitting in his lap, the clear evidence of Charlie's fate. But, he could only sit, staring into space, as the nurse talked to him.
His gaze drifted back into the room, and he focused on the nurse, rather than looking through her into the distance.
"So... Do we... do you... know ... what... what type of woman... woman, I'll become." Charlie stammered. His brain stumbling at talking and thinking simultaneously.

"We have some influence. But, the type of woman you'll become is hidden in your DNA. You'll become the woman you would've otherwise been." She smiled encouragingly, "But, she'll be healthier, and free from any risk of genetic issues."
Seeing Charlie wince, she fell silent, and sat there hugging the newest candidate for the Fem Solution.

"He'll... Ben will still see me, as me." Charlie sobbed, a shudder ran down his spine. As he considered how their relationship was going to be different.
Swallowing, his tongue darted out, wetting his parched lips.
"I don't want to wait, not even until tomorrow morning. I want it over, I want the injection now!"
There was an edge of panic to his voice. The nurse caressed his arm and hand. Soothing his nerves.
"I need you to be sure." She insisted, "This isn't a decision to be made in haste, or anger." she cautioned.
Releasing a slow, shuddering sigh. Charlie repeated himself in a steadier, calmer tone.
"I want the Fem injection now. I don't want to wait until later. I want to next see Ben, as a woman, as my husband to be."
He looked straight into the nurse's eyes. Seeing if she was satisfied. A solemn, stiff nod, was her clear answer.

Moments later, she was opening her bag, a syringe in a sturdy clear container. It responded to her fingerprint. Hissing softly, as it popped open.
Despite Charlie's resolution. His heart started to race... This was actually happening! Actually happening right now!
The nurse swabbed his arm with an alcohol wipe, chilling and cleaning the injection site.
