Choices

Emily woke up in a good mood the morning of her appointment. She had told her dad and Renee about it the night before and they both supported her decision and said they would do whatever they could to help her. Renee was going with Emily to her appointment this morning for moral support. Emily got up and showered and then dressed and left her apartment and headed towards her Dads and Renee's to pick Renee up. Once she got there she got out of her car and went up to the house and entered without even knocking.

"I'm here." Emily called out.

Andrew and Renee Prentiss both came walking out of the kitchen. Andrew walked over to his daughter and gave her a hug and a kiss on the head. He then helped his wife get her coat on and kissed her.

"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you guys?" Andrew asked.

Emily laughed and said "Dad we will be fine. Today I'm only going to get some information and some stuff to look at before I make a decision. I want to thank you again for supporting me in this dad. You have no idea how much it means to me."

Andrew chuckled and said "Pumpkin you are my baby girl. I will always support you in whatever you choose to do. Just remember if you want to do this and you need any help what so ever Renee and I are here for you. We talked about it last night and decided that we want you to move into your Grandpa's house. Now I know that you like your apartment but think of it this way Emily. You will own the house free and clear and will not have to pay any rent on it. Plus it has a fenced in back yard and a pool. It will help you out in the long run."

Emily looked at her father and said "Alright dad you win. I will take Grandpa's house. And thank you both for letting me have it."

Renee laughed and said "Well sweetie we have been trying to give it to you for years. Now you have a reason."

Emily smiled and hugged and kissed her dad on the cheek before heading out the door with Renee following her. Once they were both in the car and buckled in Emily started the car and headed out. She was nervous about today's appointment but yet she was excited at the same time.

"Are you sure this is what you want Emily?" Renee asked.

Emily glanced over at Renee with a smile and then back at the road and said "Yes, I'm sure Renee. I want a baby and since Elizabeth ruined my chances at adoption this is the only way to go."

Renee smiled and said "As long as this is what you want Emily. I know that you will make a terrific mother."

Emily smiled and said "Thank you mom."

The two women were silent for the next five minutes. That's how long it took for them to get where they were going and then up to the floor that they needed to get off on. Once they walked out of the elevator Emily took in a deep breath before she opened up the door and walked into the office.

Emily walked over to the desk and the woman looked up and said "Hello, Welcome to the Richmond Sperm R Us. May I have your name please?"

Emily took in a deep breath and said "Emily Prentiss."

The receptionst smiled and said "Mia will be right with you Ms. Prentiss."

Emily nodded and went and sat down beside Renee. She looked around and smiled when she saw how the waiting room looked. It was a professional look but also with a homey feel to it. Emily looked up when she heard a door open.

"Emily Prentiss." a woman said.

Emily got up and so did Renee. They both followed the woman back to a room and sat down when they were showed to a room. The woman left and then a couple minutes later another woman entered.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Mia Burton. You must be Emily." Dr. Burton said.

"Yes, I'm Emily Prentiss and this is my mom Renee." Emily said.

"What can I do for you today Emily?" Dr. Burton asked.

Emily smiled and said "Well I'm looking into the possibility of artificial insemination and I was wanting information on it and how it works."

Dr. Burton nodded and said "Well if you tell me what you are looking for then I can get together some donors who meet your criteria. Once you pick out a donor we would run some test on you and then inseminate you when the time is right."

Emily nodded and asked some more questions which Dr. Burton answered. Renee also asked some questions which were answered and both Emily and Renee liked the way Dr. Burton worked. Finally Emily made a decision.

"I would like to get a list of donor's that I can look over to choose from. I would prefer to do this as soon as possible because I'm getting up in age to where we all know that it may not be a successful pregnancy." Emily said.

Dr. Burton nodded and said "Alright fill out this sheet and give it back to me and I will get you a folder put together of donors."

Emily nodded and started filling out the paper. She wanted the father to be about 6'1'', brown hair, blue eyes, cuacasion, educated, college graduate, in his early 40's. Once she was done she handed the paper back to Dr. Burton who looked it over and then got up and went to get some possible donor information. A half hour later Dr. Burton came back in with a binder filled of possible donors.

"Alright Emily take this with you and look it over. Let's set an appointment up for a week from now if you think you would have a choice by then." Dr. Burton said.

Emily stood up followed by Renee and thanked Dr. Burton and then they left. Emily took Renee back home and they talked a little on the way. After dropping Renee off at her house Emily headed to work. When she pulled into her parking spot she grabbed the binder, her ready bag, and brief case and headed into the building. She smiled as she thought about becoming a mother. Thank God she had the money to be able to pay for A.I.

Emily got off of the elevator and went into the bullpen and straight to her desk. Without thinking about it Emily put the binder on her desk face up with the name showing in big letters. She heard Derek start to choke and she looked at him in concern. When she saw where his eyes were looking at she blushed.

Derek stood up and yelled "Emily what in the hell do you think you are doing?"
