A.N. I've had this story sitting with me for ages now and I feel that I need to share it with everyone because I have to say, I think it's a stroke of genious! Enjoy!
Side note: Josh is long gone after Kate found him cheating on her with a nurse at the hospital in the supply closet.
Prologue
"How about this donor?" Asked the nurse, combining the two baby photo's to create what their child would look like. They had been at this for hours and the nurse was beginning to get impatient.
"No." The patient replied. The nurse tapped her mouse a few times and came up with a new baby photo.
"How about this one?" She asked, letting out a small sigh of frustration. She combined the two photos and waited for the patients answer. She watched as she cocked her head to the side and examined the combination. Not long after, she scrunched up her nose and shook her head, tossing her long hair from side to side.
"Alright then…" The nurse replied. "How about…" She clicked her mouse a few times and brought up the two baby photos. Clicking again, she combined both of them and watched as a smile spread across her face that then erupted into a huge grin.
"That one." She pointed to the screen. "I want him!" She instructed. The nurse let out a sigh of relief and selected the chosen donor.
"Are you sure you don't want to see the donor's face first?"
"I want him." She repeated resolutely.
"Alright then. I'll just go fetch the doctor so he can administer the donation." She explained as she got out of her chair and left the room. The patient watched as she left and laid her head back on the seat, letting out a huge sigh of relief.
She was finally going to have a baby.
She didn't need a man to have a family.
She was going to love this child and she was going to make it work.
The doctor came in not long after and was carrying the metal container that would be the seed for the creation of a life.
Her child.
"Alright. Are you ready for this procedure?" The doctor asked. She nodded enthusiastically with a wide grin spreading across her face.
"If you could follow me please." It wasn't so much of a question as a request. Never the less, he extended his hand and ushered her into another room. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest as each step towards the procedure room brought her closer to a new life living inside her. The doctor opened the door for her and pointed out the gown on the bed.
"I'll leave you to change and I'll be outside when you're ready." He told her with a smile as her closed the door behind him. She looked at the gown, staring it down as she walked over to it. When she lifted it up, she raised an eyebrow in confusion as to how to put it on. After figuring it out, she laid her clothes delicately on a nearby chair and walked over to the door, opening it a fraction to locate the doctor who was, at that present point in time, talking to the receptionists. Once his attention was achieved, he came over to her and entered the room, closing the door behind him. The patient situated herself on the plastic covered chair and awaited his inspection.
"You ready?" He asked. She nodded 'yes' as a grin spread across her mouth, reaching her brilliant emerald green eyes.
"Alright then, can you please put your feet in the stirrups and lye down please." Again, it was a request, not a question, but the patient complied anyway. As soon as everything was ready, she felt an intrusion and then a warm liquid spreading into her womb, combining part her selected father and herself to create a growing life and the perfect child.
