Monica laid in the chair while the Dr did the exam. She had waited so long for this day. It was so exciting that it was finally time to do this. She was so nervous. She looked at her feet and realized she didn't get a pedicure. She had painted them purple a couple weeks ago and now the polish was coming off. She had planned on getting a pedicure but she had lost track of time.
"I'm sorry." She said quietly.
He looked at her and frowned. "For what?"
"My toe nails aren't done." She said.
He let out a little laugh. "It's ok." He turned the light off and set the timer. "Ok just lay here until the timer goes off. It will go off in 10 minutes."
She let out a deep breath. "Alright." She said. She couldn't believe she was here. She couldn't believe she was here was going to hopefully get pregnant by donor 4873. She would much rather get pregnant by someone she was in love with but that wasn't happening. Every serious relationship failed. Pete was a work o holic and Richard didn't want babies. His kids were already adults.
So here she was. Her future as a mom depended on this moment.
After she was done, she went to her best friend Rachel's house.
"I can't believe you're doing this." Rachel said as she picked up toys from the ground. "If you're that desperate I'll find you man."
Monica rolled her eyes. "It's not about that. I want to be a mom. I have always wanted to a mom. So what sounds bad about that?"
"Just spend a day with mine." Rachel said as her three kids ran by. "You'll change your mind."
"There is no changing my mind." Monica told her.
Rachel stopped what she was doing and looked at Monica. "Why not?"
Monica cleared her throat. "Well I just did it."
Rachel's hands went to her mouth. "Really? When do you know if it worked?"
"Yes really and I should know with in about 2 months." Monica smiled. hoping she would be pregnant. She knew her best friend didn't agree with it but she didn't care. She was happy with her choice.
