Last
chapter was really hard to write, sorry it took so long for so
little.
I can't be bothered checking when you're actually
supposed to get your first ultrasound but I think I got it close.
"Tenou
Haruka and Kaiou Michiru?" The receptionist waved them into the
nearest examination room. "The doctor will see you shortly."
They
sat down, looking around at the clean, white walls. Silently trying
to contain the overwhelming excitement and fear that all first time
couples experience.
Boy
or girl? That was the
question running through their heads as the doctor walked into the
room.
He consulted his clipboard "A double appointment; one
ultrasound and Miss Tenou has lacerations on her shoulders and back.
Correct?"
He picked up a file from his desk "Miss Kaiou, would
you care to lie down and we'll check your progress."
Michiru
complied, pulling her shirt up over her belly. Haruka stood next to
her.
He smeared a cold, blue gel onto her stomach "So, you're
twelve weeks and conceived using IVF. Who donated the eggs?
"We
both did. We wanted it to be more random so we took two eggs from
Haruka and one from me. The doctors at the clinic said that my eggs
would have a greater survival rate than Haruka's, as it is my
body." They had got a doctor in a Kyoto clinic to run up some false
papers for them. Funnily enough it had cost them the same amount that
the treatment.
"The technology has been updated; now we can see
clearly and accurately. In America, you can even get a to scale
plaster-cast model of the foetus. A bit over the top really." The
doctor fiddled with the machine, adjusting the setting until a clear
3D image came into focus. "Aah, yes. You were probably told that
you have greater chances of twins in IVF. Here we go, two healthy
girls."
Haruka looked at Michiru joyously. "We don't have to worry about them being only children."
