Chapter three.
A few days had passed since, Haruka and Michiru had made the decision about having a baby. Now one afternoon, they found themselves along with, Hotaru in the waiting room of, DR Irabu, as they waited to been seen.
As they waited. They saw all the pictures on the walls. Picture of babies in different stages of life. Some alone. Some with parents. All smiling. Laughing. Looking happy. They knew that they were babies , thanks to the doctor. Were given birth to by happy parents. And they hope one day, that their own child would be on the wall.
They did not have to wait much longer as they were called into the office. Soon the three were seated in front of an oak desk. In the office on the desk and on the walls were more pictures of children. But a few on the desk they could tell were pictures of his own family.
Soon the doctor sat on the other side of the desk. A man in 50's. A friendly smile on his face as he greeted them. He stayed quiet for a few minutes as he read through the papers that, Haruka and Michiru had to fill out. Once he was done. He placed the papers down on his desk. He then looked to them. That smile still upon his face as he started to speak to them.
"I was just reading through how you want to go about doing this." His face got a bit more serious as he continued to speak. "Are you sure this is the course in how you want to do it?" Haruka nodded her head a bit. "We are sure. We did the research. We read up on all that we could. The risks and all. We want it as though this is both our child. We know there is no possible natural way. So we would like to do it this way." DR Irabu smiled once again as he nodded his head to them. "Very well. If you have read up on this. I am sure you are aware of the tests that have to be done?" Michiru nodded her head a bit. "Yes we do. We will go through what we have to do, to make this happen."
Irabu nodded his head a bit. "Okay! The fun part! Now we need to do is fill out some more paper work. And then we will get you set up for the tests and get the process started for you." "Thank you" Irabu looked to, Michiru once again "You are welcome."
They watched as, Irabu gathered the papers that would be needed to be filled out. Laying the papers in front of, Haruka and Michiru. Hotaru just looking on as they started to fill out the papers. Her brow raised a bit at all the paper work. She was about to say something. But thought better of it. She leaned back in her chair as she continued to watch them fill the papers out.
What seemed to, Hotaru to take forever. They had finally finished up the paperwork. Irabu looked over everything before placing the papers into a folder. He then looked at, Haruka and Michiru once again and then handed them a card. "On that card, I just gave you. You will see the date and time for you to come back here and get things started for you." Haruka and Michiru smiled then, Haruka saying… "Thank you!" Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru stood up. They shook the hand of, Irabu before leaving the office more excited than they were before.
