A/N: Here is the next chapter, enjoy please.
Shayera sat patiently on the exam table as Dr. Mackenzie finished up the exam. She had a strange mixture of excitement and anxiety swirling around in her stomach. It had been almost year since John and Shayera had first sought out Dr. Mackenzie. In that long year Dr. Mackenzie had given Shayera a small patch that she wore every second every day to record her hormone levels and transmit them to Dr. Mackenzie's computer. Dr. Mackenzie then compiled the information and used it to program the nanobots.
"Based on these results, it think your ready." Dr. Mackenzie smiled at Shayera.
"Great," Shayera sat up straight suddenly.
"Before I do this I want to make sure you understand what is going to happen," Dr. Mackenzie said as she prepared a needle.
"We have been over this a thousand times, I know I want to do this," Shayera was beginning to get agitated and spoke quickly because of it.
"Patronize me," Dr. Mackenzie flicked the need with her finger.
"First, you are going to inject me with the nanobots that you programmed," Shayera rolled her eyes, "Then you are going to start me on a course of fertility hormones."
"And?" Dr. Mackenzie walked over to the exam table.
"And I shouldn't expect to get pregnant right away because the nanobots need to learn how to interact with my body and the fertility treatments, which can take up to another two months."
"Right," Dr. Mackenzie used an alcohol pad to clean a small spot on Shayera's shoulder, "Also once you do become pregnant the nanobots are programmed to shut down and will be processed out of your system in about a week.
Shayera nodded as Dr. Mackenzie pushed the needle into her arm and injected the nanobots.
"Ouch," Shayera flinched while Dr. Mackenzie pulled out a bandaid to cover the injection site.
"It's up to you and John now," Dr. Mackenzie placed the bandaid on Shayera's arm.
"Right," Shayera nodded not reallly looking at Dr. Mackenzie.
As Shayera left Dr. Mackenzie's room she placed her hands on her stomach. This was going to work, she reassured herself, it had to. She found that the nervous feeling she had before the injection had not left but instead increased. As Shayera tried to relax a thought crossed her mind, John's shift had ended an hour ago, and her's would be over in about ten minutes. Even though chances were that they couldn't get pregnant yet, it couldn't hurt to practice. Shayera walked down the hall past the sick bay with a smile on her face.
A/N: This was a short chapter, I know. It was mainly intended for those people who understood the scientific explanation in the previous chapter and to move the plot along. I will update soon, review please
