Mulan and Aurora came out of the restroom just in time to bump into Regina. Aurora apologized for bumping into her, Mulan just looked at her tense. She hasn't forgotten about Cora or what she did to the land, all the things she has done. "P-pardon me...Regina!" Aurora looked up shocked at who she ran into. Regina looks at the Princess then her eyes move toward Mulan. "How are you feeling Mulan...?" Regina asks putting on an awkward smile. "Better." Mulan replies bluntly.
"And where are you off to?" Regina asks, having both Mulan and Aurora one edge, "well, the fertility clinic..." Aurora hesitates as she tells her that. Regina smiles, a genuine smile. "Are you going to be expecting a child?" Mulan and Aurora are more shocked that Regina didn't question them as a couple, but more excited on the whole situation. "We're going to try it out..." Mulan replies, stepping up next to Aurora's side. Regina nods encouragingly, "Hope you have happiness with your child..." Regina smile begins to fade, probably from the distance that has been set between Henry and herself. Mulan and Aurora quickly walk past Regina, knowing they'll be late for their appointment at the clinic
The center was bright an clean. Mulan and Aurora saw a few people in the clinic. Many were older than they were and one thing Mulan noticed, there was always a man with a woman. Mulan hesitantly stepped inside, with Aurora by her side. Mulan sat near the corner while Aurora went up to the counter. Mulan glanced around and saw the stares again, dodging their glances she picked up the nearest available magazine and buried her face into it. I can kill a thousand soldiers with just my sword... but I can't be with Aurora in public...maybe if I had my sword things would be different... Mulan's thoughts were interrupted by the small figure that sat next to her, Aurora. Aurora smiled at Mulan, "everything is all set up!" She whispered giddily, picking up at the silence that engulfed the room. Mulan nodded encouragingly, even with all the judgment, she couldn't hold back a small smile of happiness and excitement. Waiting, Aurora began to peer over Mulan's shoulder reading alongside with Mulan, who blankly just stared at the pictures anxiously.
It took 15 minutes until Aurora's name was called from the swinging door where a taller woman stood wearing a lab coat similar to Dr. Whale's. Aurora and Mulan stood at the same time, both with the same anxiety. They both walked toward the woman who then turned her back walking through the swinging doors. Aurora and Mulan followed the woman through a bleak hallway that was filled with many rooms. Mulan glanced in the rooms thinking how similar they were to the hospital room she was in. Finally, they stopped in a room with the walls covered with posters, charts, and diagrams. There was a small table positioned on the left side with chairs around, also a brochure and manila file sitting on top of the table. The woman motioned for them to take a seat while she closed the door. Mulan took the chair out for Aurora, who blushed at the little thing Mulan did for her. Right as Mulan sat down the woman began to speak seriously, with a smile of course. "I'm Dr. Lisa, and I'm reading here-" as she opened the file, "that you both are interested in having a baby...?" The woman looked up wanting to confirm the information. "y-yes!" Mulan stammered, the room felt too enclosed and silent for her. The woman nodded looking back down at the file. "and it says here...this will be your first time?" Aurora this time replied the yes, more confident than Mulan had replied. Mulan smiled knowing Aurora being the expert in this, she would let her speak now on. "who will be having the child?" the woman asked, pen in hand to fill something out. Aurora and Mulan looked at each other, more anxious than ever. "I will." Aurora replies, a little less loud than she was just a few seconds ago. The doctor nodded, "Aurora is it?" Aurora nodded as the doctor scribbled the pen. "Is there a specific... skin color, ethnicity, exedra..?" Aurora and Mulan looked at each other, now confused. "Y-you can pick out all those details...?" Mulan asked. "We can narrow down from the sperm donors, but yes." The doctor looked up, seeing the obvious confusion in the women. The doctor smiled knowing all couples become confused from this, she hands a paper that listed all the categories of which she spoke of. "I'll be back in a few minutes, but this handout will be easier to narrow down your donors." The doctor smiled, taking the folder with her. Mulan and Aurora quickly grabbed the paper reading through all the categories. "race...? What do we want...?" Aurora asked smiling at Mulan. "Whatever you want..." Mulan said as her eyes looked at all the different categories of races. "Chinese!" Aurora began to scratch in the box with the pen. "Are you sure?"
"I want it to be Chinese so the baby can half you and half me..." Aurora smiled as her eyes went back to the paper. Mulan grinned, her Princess was the most brilliant woman. "eyes...hair...goodness! We came unprepared..." Aurora says as she leans back in her chair looking up at Mulan worried. "Well...the child should have your eyes...and hair." Mulan grinned about to mark the paper before Aurora touched her hand to stop. "Your hair, because it's gorgeous, and that color suits anyone!" Aurora grabbed the pen away marking whatever she wanted. Mulan shook her head knowing her Princess will choose all of this. Mulan could care less, all she wants is to have this child with the woman she loved.
It took longer than they thought, but Mulan and Aurora finally finished the fill-out sheet. Aurora sighed happily falling back in her seat comfortably. The doctor came back in, sorting out the paperwork and having both girls sign a million things, but after all of it, it was finally done. Mulan and Aurora walked out the cramped room refreshed and excited. The next obstacle they faced was the actual procedure. Aurora became very anxious having her teeth chatter. Mulan held Aurora's hand tightly knowing that the world felt like falling. Aurora and Mulan were put in a wide, bleak, and empty room. Only a operating table laid and a curtain. A small chrome desk was positioned next to the table with a small, sealed, labeled jar with some medical instruments. Mulan gulped knowing this was the big moment. Aurora was taken away by the doctor having Mulan stand in the room alone for a few minutes. The minutes felt like hours to Mulan who tried to busy her mind with everything but what was going to happen. Aurora came back, only wearing an ugly white robe. "I'm literally butt naked..." Aurora whispers with a grin, Mulan held Aurora's hand with a snort as she laid onto the cold table, legs apart. Aurora closed her eyes scared of what was going to happen. Mulan clasped her hand so tightly around hers that she felt Aurora's hand coming right off. The doctor murmured something but both women were occupied with not worrying at the moment to hear anything. Mulan stared intensely at Aurora's face as she saw the discomfort that overwhelmed her countenance. Mulan stroked Aurora's head with her free hand, wishing it would all be done, so the awkwardness and also the mind-blowing anxiety would be finished. Aurora let out a big breath of relief and all was done. "Everything went well, Aurora did a wonderful job, and we will get to see you two in about 2 months for a checkup, just to make sure no complications are forming." Mulan nodded intently at the doctor while Aurora went off to take off the robe. Mulan was left alone with the Doctor for a few minutes, "Will we know who the father is...?"
"No, It is an anonymous donor that fit your category."
"so, we'll never know?" The doctor looked toward Mulan's anxious face and nodded with a smile.
