Don't do it , Chapter 4
Washington DC 2010
Anakin thought about beautiful Dormé every day. He confessed to himself she touched his heart somehow .
She had his mobile number but she didn't contact him, he was disappointed about it, but he was sure she was interested. Then he decided to hand over the coat to the Apartment Concierge Service.
"Good evening. I have a trench coat from the dry cleaner for Miss Dormé, she lives on the fifth floor. "
"We don't have anubody here with the name Dormé … .but I know who this coat belongs. You can leave it there. "
"She said her name is Dormé, but if you say there is no Dormé here, then I can't leave here this expensive coat ."
"Are we talking about a beautiful woman, around thirty, about 1.65 m, long brown hair, brown eyes, angelic face?"
"Exactly, but ..."
"She said if you bring the coat, I should tell you that she thanks for the nice night at Huxley. Is that enough?"
"Yes, then I can leave the coat here."
He took his business card and teared the upper part off where his name was and wrote on it: call me please, Anakin. Then he pulled up the foil, put the snippet in the coat pocket, and gave the coat to the concierge.
"So, here the coat, thank you."
As he sat in his Porsche and drove home, just a little faster as allowed, he thought about freedom in Germany, where you could drive without speed limit on the most of highways. Unfortunately he didn't have Porsche back then. He remembered the highway A5, there, behind Darmstadt intersection, the route was even four-lane and there was no speed limit. That would have been fun with a Porsche….
Then he thought of Dormé again. Well, was she really called Dormé? There was no Dormé. On the door of her apartment, the brass plaque P.N. He couldn't believe she'd given him the wrong name. She'll be back next week, maybe he should contact her. Or should he not be so pushy? Wait for her to call? If she had wanted, she would have been in touch. But if she doesn't want to ... shouldn't it be the man who takes the initiative? He wanted to find the right way, the balance between giving up and pushing. He's never had any problems with such things before, but no woman was important to him until now.

Baltimore 2010
The week was almost up. Thursday. Two surgeries in the morning and two abortions in the afternoon. He didn't like doing that, but it was also part of his job.
After lunch with his collegues in cafeteria, he went to see the patients he had surgeried that morning. Then came the first abortion. It was an older woman, no, not old but in her mid-forties, she had already grown-up children. She has already been prepared by nurse in the operating room and was lying on the OP-chair. He came into the room and, as always, carefully read the documents, Dr. Sanders came in, did the anesthesia, and then he started the work.
After the procedure, the patient was cared for and he had a break until the next patient was ready for OP. . He took a cup of tea and waited. Half an hour later the nurse came and told him that the patient was prepared.
Padmé was lying on the OP-chair, he couldn't see her face by entering the room. Anakin came in, went to the table with the instruments where next to it were the documents that he wanted to read aloud again, loud, so that the patient can also hear and correct if something was wrong.
"I am Dr. Skywalker. First of all, don't worry, you will be given general anesthesia, our anesthetist will be there immediately ... "
Padme almost jumped from the OP-chair when she heard his voice, she was leaning on her forearms, looking at him with open mouth while he was still standing with his back to her.
"… Padme Naberrie, twenty-nine, first pregnancy, fourth week of pregnant. You quickly decided to interrupt your pregna...n..cy ... "
When he turned around he could no longer speak. He froze.
"Dormé! Dormé ? Padmé Naberrie?
He came closer to her and she covered her face with both palms.
"Mrs. Miller, please leave us alone and tell Dr. Sanders it will take a moment. "
"Yes Dr. Skywalker. "She left
A painful silence spred across the room, but they both knew someone had to start talking.
"Well, you are Padmé Naberrie. P.N. on the door, initials of your name, right? "
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I don't know, I've never done something like that before." The tears were already running.
"You have never given someone the wrong name, never taken someone into your apartment after you met him for the first time... and you did all of this with me and now you are pregnant ... please don't say something wrong again….that it's not mine, because the calculation is correct. "
"It is yours."
He went very close to the chair and put his hand on her shoulder.
"What happened?"
"I forgot the pill, twice in a row after we ... you know."
"Did you continue to take the pill?"
"No."
"Good. Why don't you want the baby? "
"I can't, not now and that's not how it should start ...if at all."
Silence.
"You have to understand that I can't do the abort, I can't kill my own child."
"I know … but…" the tears ran
"Don't cry ..." he caressed her face "... look, you still have time enough to think about it and then you can make decision. From the legal point of view, I know that I cannot participate in the decision-making process, but I would like to. It's my child, planned or unplanned. Let's talk about it and in the meantime don't let make abort elsewhere …..please. Don't do it."
Silence.
"OK. When can we talk about it? " she said at last.
"Saturday afternoon, next week. Do you want to come to me to Laurel, or should I come to you ... "
"I would like to come to you. Take my iPhone, enter your address. "
He did, briefly texted himself to get her number and handed her iPhone back.
"Then see you on Saturday at 4:00 p.m., OK .?... and now get dressed, I tell the colleague that the abort will not be carried out. I will pay for the costs have arisen. Until Saturday… .Padmé Naberrie… .Padmé, nice name, I just have to get used to it. "
"See you then, Anakin." She went to get dressed, still crying.
He was standing alone in the OP-room, his head suddenly ...hollow. What happened now? Something shocking, surprising, unexpected at all ... but the thought of possibly becoming a father spread a pleasant warmth in his chest. How will she decide? Will he be able to persuade her to keep the baby? With what right, what prospects...?
"Colleague?"
The anesthetist saw Anakin and realized how lost he was in his thought.
"Dr. Sanders, it will not be made. The patient was somehow undecided, I decided not to do the abortion. "
"You yourself look so… confused. Are you OK.?"
"Yes. There was just something that made me thinking. "
"I think I understand." Sanders grinned slightly.
That evening Anakin drove home very slowly, he was lost in his thoughts, he didn't want to cause an accident so distracted.

Laurel 2010
At home he wondered if he was hungry or not? He was not. He was always hungry at night, especially when he came out of the gym. Today wasn't the day, he went there three times a week. He wanted to make himself something to drink, preferably something strong to calm his nerves. Rusty Nail, he remembered, she drank that night. A little bit sweet, but when he remembered the sweetness of this encounter ... He didn't know what was wrong with him, she definitely moved something in him. Was that just the physical interest or more? He had countless one night stands with no emotional or physical consequences ... until now.
He almost trembled at the thought she would come and thought about what he could prepare, he wanted to put her in a good mood without being obtrusive. Eating, a nice meal is always good. He could cook, lived alone all the time. At his lassors in Germany he liked to eat Sauerbraten with dumplings, he could do that too, but the pickled meat was not available here. Italian? Perhaps. English? Definitely not. English cuisine is terrible, he couldn't remember the last time he ate English, at his mother's ... a few months ago. No no. So, he decided on Italian: Caprese salad, lasagna, lettuce and Panna cotta with raspberry sauce for dessert ... perfect. Alcohol will not be offered, nor he will drink, because of solidarity.
That week was so long like a month. He prepared himself for the visit, bought everything, had everything cleaned again, well, and took clean bed linen ... no, that won't happen this time, it would be somehow inappropriate with such a problem that they have and have to solve.

Washington DC 2010
Padmé has again postponed the vacation indefinitely. Maybe she will need the days after all, she thought. At work she had to concentrate consciously, didn't want to make any mistakes that could cost her the job. She always ate lunch with Sabé and Matt, sometimes in one of many bistros, sometimes she got something from a Chinese or pizza. That weren't actually healthy meals for a pregnant woman ... but she didn't want to stay pregnant, so it didn't matter. Her common sense told her something else. Sometimes she sat with Sabé and rubbed her still flat stomach.
"Tell me Missi, are you nauseous, maybe?"
"No, how come?"
"Is something wrong with your stomach, are you ... in pain?" Sabé laughed "... I'm worried, come on Padmé, I'm your best friend, remember? When we were still together in Boston you told me everything….. about Palo and miserable nights with Clovis and much more. "
"That's right, but I wasn't pregnant at the time."
"WHAT ?"
"Yes, my girlfriend ... it happened."
"OMG. Padmé, who's that guy, spit it , spit it ... .. but not that super hot guy from Huxley a few weeks ago."
"Exactly that one."
"Well, Padmé, your girlfriend needs to know everything now. Who is he, what is he doing, is he good in bed ... come on, I have to know every dirty detail, I can't take it anymore. "
Sabé laughed, and so did Padmé.
"It happened the night after we went to Huxley, you know the story about my Burberry trenchcoat. He took me home with his Porsche and I asked him to come to my apartment … ..and somehow I ran hot…. Shit Sabé, he's Adonis in person. Well, I asked him to stay… and he stayed. Sabé, it was the night of my life, he drove me crazy ... you know what. I was so excited, so I forgot the pill the next morning. I flew to Boston that afternoon, it was Sola's birthday and with all the excitement I forgot the next pill to. So, that's the bill for it now. "
"Do you know what is he doing, I mean, he has a Porsche after all. He's not a bum. "
"He's a doctor ... and do you know what was the worst?"
"What?"
"After I was back from Boston, I decided to abort, made an appointment at John Hopkins Hospital for last Thursday, and landed on his OP-chair. Can you imagine how it was? "
"Oh shit ... I think so and let me guess, he didn't want to make that abortion, to kill his own child."
"Exactly"
"Can you blame him for that?"
"Not really."
"And what happen now?"
"He really wants to talk with me on Saturday."
"And what do you want to tell him, you can do it elsewhere? Don't do it, Padmé, a baby is a baby and you both have enough money and options to keep it. "
"I don't want to be a single mother, illegitimate child ... and what can I tell my parents?"
"Did he want to see you again after that crazy night?"
"Yes, he said that."
"I think, something can develop out of it, just let it happen. I know you've had bad experiences with Palo and Rush, but not every man is an asshole. This hot guy doesn't look like that ...Padmé, tell me, he must be good in bed, what… like an erupting volcano. "
"Not really, he is gentle, tender and passionate at the same time ... more like a hot, thick lava that slowly flows down the slopes ... not that it sounds kitschy."
"WOW girlfriend, I think he left a good impression on you, better said, you've already fallen."
"Oh, I'm not a teenager."
"Women around thirty can also fall in love."
"It's not that far."
"If so, you are the last who notice that."
This conversation with Sabé was just as much a conversation as with Sola. Everyone thinks she should keep the baby and nobody wants to know how she feels about it. She would have to sacrifice everything she has worked out so far; career, maybe the job itself ? OK. she wouldn't end up on the street, Anakin would definitely help, she could go back to Boston and later work in Naberrie law firm ... but then she would be so far away from the child's father. What if she talked to her mother, to hear her opinion? Would she just get to hear the lecture, or would mother be able to put herself in her shoes? She had thought about it for two days and decided to talk with her mother, also with the risk that things could go wrong. Skype.
"Hi Mom, how are you, what's new in Boston?"
"Oh, it's usually me who calls, did something happen?"
"No, no …... yes, actually ….. it is complicated."
"Can I help, should I call your father?"
"No no ! I want to talk with you, only with you. "
"Oh, that doesn't sound so good, but ... tell me."
"Mom … .." break.
"Yes? ... ..Padmé? "
"Mom, I'm pregnant."
Long silence.
"Mom, say something."
"Sorry dear, I thought at the moment I didn' understand you acoustically ... .. you are pregnant?"
"Yes."
"Sorry dear, I have to collect my mind at first. You are pregnant by whom, do you have a boyfriend, who is he? "
"Not really, he's not my boyfriend ... .. we had only one ..."
"One night stand? Oh Padmé! Uh ... do you even know who he is? "
"He comes from Europe, studied medicine in Heidelberg, he's a doctor, he's probably English ... according to his accent ..."
"Probably? You didn't ask him who he is, you didn't talk at all? "
"We had sex, damn it mother, I'm almost thirty. Can you imagine that I have certain needs. "
Silence.
"OK. and what do you want to do now?"
"I decided to have an abortion and went to John Hopkins Hospital, not knowing that he was working there and that he was a gynecologist of all people. I landed on his OP-chair. "
"OMG. ... Let me guess, he didn't want to do abort, did he? "
"So was it. He wants to persuade me to keep the baby. "
"Is that so absurd? Why don't you want to? "
"My career, my job, I would have to give up ….everything."
"You would just have to wait a little longer to get connected, but you don't have to give up everything. Did he offer to help you ? "
"We will talk about our situation on Saturday."
"Padme, I know that your father will faint first, but when he wakes up and comes to his senses, he will surely promise to help, financial and otherwise. We help you dear. Call me after your discussion with him. Uh ... and what's the name of the good man? "
"The good man's name is Dr. Anakin Skywaker and he looks gorgeous Mom, gorgeous." Padmé laughed shyly.
"If you decide to keep the baby, which I would strongly advise, you are almost thirty, we would like to meet that gorgeous man. I hope he has the decency and marries you. "
"Mom, that's far fetched, we hardly know each other."
"If you spend a lot of time with him, you will get to know him quickly. Conclusion Padmé, think carefully about and keep the baby. Here in backround is your father, he has noticed a lot now …. without fainting. "
"Uh ... ..Hi Dady, are you disappointed in me now?"
"No, I'm just surprised, but I'm happy to be a grandfather for the third time."
"Bye."
"Bye dear."
It wasn't that bad, thought Padmé, if only the discussion with Anakin would turn out like that. She must be able to explain him that she can't keep the baby.

Laurel 2010
Saturday came ... finally. Anakin did the last purchases, groceries which had to be fresh, like salad and meat, even bought flowers and put them in the large vase and arranged it on the coffee table. Everything was clean and prepared for the visit. He was nervous. He really wanted to persuade her to keep the baby.
At 4:03 p.m. Padmé turned with her black Audi A5 Coupé into the driveway and parked in front of the garages. She took her bag, the bottle of wine, she had bought for him, and went to the entrance. Anakin lives in a big house, all alone here, thought Padmé. The house was in a new housing estate, all the houses looked similar, but beautiful. They were all clad in red brick on the street side. On the unfenced property was planted one tree and some bushes, the lawn was well cared for. Padmé crossed the sidewalk to the house, climbed the two steps, stood in front of the white door and rang the bell. After a while what felt like an eternity, which actually lasted only a few seconds, Anakin opened the door. He was wearing light blue jeans and Nikes, a dark blue V-neck pullover and a white polo shirt underneath. He looked so stunning, she felt butterflies in her stomach again and was worried how she would resist him. He smiled at her, hugged her, and kissed her cheek. She stiffened.
"What is it Padmé? We've been much closer than a hug before. You look beautiful in jeans too ... and this twin set, WOW... red looks good on you. "
"Thank you."
"Come in"
She came in, gave him the bottle of wine, and he thanked her.
She looked around. The house was new, she could still smell the paint. It was tastefully furnished, modern but of high quality, nothing was missing, he even had flowers on the table.
"Beautiful autumn bouquet. Do you always have flowers on the table? "
"No, not always, I wanted you to be comfortable. Do you want to drink something? I have orange juice, pear juice and apple juice. "
"Am I not getting any alcohol today?"
"Alcohol is not good for our baby."
She said nothing and thought it will be difficult now to convince him, he thinks it is already certain that he will be a father.
"I take apple juice with mineral water."
Anakin poured the juice and mineral water into two glasses, came to the table and put the glasses on it.
"Let's sit down Padmé."
She sat down, he sat down next to her. She wanted to tell him right away that she's going to have an abortion, instead she covered her face with her palms and started crying.
Anakin slid closer to her, hugged her, pulled her to his chest and wiped her tears away with his thumb. It looked like she wanted to tear herself away.
"What's the matter, tell me?"
"It's because of everything, I'm so uncomfortable and embarrassing."
"Uncomfortable with me? Padmé, we were in bed together, we had sex, I was inside of you ... so deep that it couldn't be deeper, left something behind that lets a life grow in you now. How can you say you feel uncomfortable? "
"I am uncomfortable with everything. Actually I don't visit the clubs that often, I've always been alone, without a boyfriend, for years. Then I meet you in a club, don't know who you are and tell you my name is Dormé, wrong name. I take you home, ask you to stay, what I never did befor, have sex with you that I didn't know that existed, I forget the pill and now I'm pregnant. You are not to blame for any of this, just me. You have to think I'm cheap, that's embarrassing and ... what I actually deserve. "
"I can understand meny of your train of thought, but that you gave me the wrong name… ..no. Padmé, that was the best night of my life, it all felt so ... real. That was the best sex I ever had and in the most beautiful moment I called a wrong name. That hurts."
He sounded so honest and so hurt. She turned slightly to him, buried her face in his chest and cried.
"I'm so sorry Anakin, I'm so sorry. How can I make it up to you? "
"Let our baby live."
"How can I? I have to give myself up for that. "
"You definitely want to have a family one day, right?"
"Yes, but now?"
"When do you want it, Padmé? Look, you're already twenty-nine. I don't want to say you are old, but from a biological point of view and as a gynecologist, I know you should hurry up with your first child. If you have an abortion now, the first pregnancy in your age, it could happen that you can no longer become pregnant or you cannot carry to term. "
"I haven't seen it like that until now, but you know it better. It doesn't come just at the right time, somehow. "
"The time for a child is always right."
"... for a man, yes."
"Padmé, I'll help you. We can do this together. I'm also twenty-nine and would like to be father ... and would like to settle down, have a family with a woman ... like you ... "
"But we don't even know each other."
"We can get to know each other, go out, spend time together, do something ... of course if you're interested in me at all. When I splashed you all over, bent down and saw your face, I knew straight away that you were special ... and when I met you at Huxley ... huh ... "
"What was at Huxley?"
"You pulled on my heart. Did you …. felt nothing at all? "
"Yes, I did ... when we were dancing, the way you held me, smell of your body ... .. I felt like a schoolgirl." She laughed
"You see, the chemistry between us is right, we just need to deepen it. What do you think about it?"
"I'm scared Anakin."
"Don't worry, I'll help you. We're apart now, but that can be changed. You definitely want to work to the end, don't you? "
"Yes, if I'm fine. "
"We'll stay the way it is now and spend the weekends together here or in DC, when I have duty, we'll see. If everything goes well with us, which I have no doubt ... we can move in together. "
"Let me think about it."
"Padmé, tell me you keep the baby."
"If I had you by my side ... if you help me ... my parents would help too, but they're not here ..."
"I'm not someone who promises something and doesn't keep the word. I will help you wherever I can, financially and otherwise, I promise. "
She leaned against him and felt that she was in good hands. He held her in his embrace and stroked her hair. Then he slowly bent down and kissed her.
"Anakin!"
"What? We have already done that and much more intense, do you remember, or we have to repeat it? "
"We don't have to."
"But we could." He winked
"But I'm pregnant."
"I know and I know that's why you feel lust for sex."
"How do you know that?"
"I'm a gynecologist, remember?" He laughed
Padmé was already on fire again, put out her right hand and pushed it deep and deeper down his jeans until she felt what she was looking for. She caressed him until an erection was formed under her hand. He moaned louder and louder. She opened the belt and the zipper of his jeans. He leaned back, threw his head back, and closed the eyes. She pulled the jeans lower and the boxer as far as she could. His erection poped up. Then she bent down and put the point in her mouth, he was trembling. She took it deeper in her mouth and swirled her tongue.
"You are doing this ... .. perfect, oh my god...Padmé ... please don't stop."
With her right hand she grasped the shaft and took his length so deep into her throat till she almost choked and then began to pump. Anakin groaned and bucked his hips a few times, opened his mouth to gasp for air, he was breathing hard and fast.
"Padmé, I'll… come... now."
She began to suck, received everything he gave her to swallow and licked him dry. Then she put his limp dick in the boxer and pulled up the jeans, closed the zipper and the belt.
"You are amazing ... that, that was madness. Let me return the favor now. We go to the bedroom, it's uncomfortable for you here. "
He took her hand and led her up the stairs to the master bed room. It was nice and big with a king-size bed, two bedside tables and a large chest of drawers.
"This is our bedroom." He winked
She undressed, left her clothes on the chair. He just stood there and watched her.
"You are so beautiful, Padmé."
She came up to him and started pulling the sweater over his head. He helped and with the polo shirt too. They didn't lose eye contact for a second. She was drawn to his shirtless body, just like on the night they had sex for the first time. When she had taken off his shoes and jeans, she sat on the huge bed and pulled herself up to the headboard. He climbed up, lay down on his stomach, and lifted her legs onto his shoulder. He kissed from the inside of the thighs up to her entrance. He licked and sucked the clitoris, which made her audibly crazy. He stuck his tongue in and out of the entrance and stimulated the clitoris until her orgasm came with a scream. He climbed up on her and kissed her body and face, her hair. She felt so good, that was what she liked.
"You are so gentle and tender, I love that." She had to tell him that
"Do you love my tenderness or me?"
"Do I love you? I could imagine to fall in love. "
"Do it, because I'm already on way in that direction." He smiled at her, "... we're going down now and enjoy our dinner."
"You can cook?" She asked incredulously
"Yes, and you?"
"For sure."
"You see, we fit together."
They got dressed and went downstairs. Padme admired the kitchen, everything was new and modern, like in a spaceship.
He had already prepared everything. Lasagna was still in the oven, everything else in the fridge.
"Can I help?"
"If you want, you can cover, otherwise I have everything under control."
He took out lasagna and put it on the stove. It was Caprese's turn first, he put it on the counter and sat down next to her.
"Here olive oil and balsamic vinegar if you like."
"Delicious, thank you."
Then he took the plates away and served her a large portion of lasagna on the dinner plate. Salad was on the counter, she could take as much as she wanted.
"You do it better than me."
"Then I'll always cook for us. Juice?"
"Apple juice with mineral water."
After slowly enjoying dinner, Anakin took two plates of Panna cotta out of the refrigerator and doused with raspberry sauce. They went into the living area and sat down.
"Do you like Panna cotta?"
"Yes, very much."
"Me too. Another thing in common. "
"... but not an important one. We have to concentrate on the important things and find out what we have in common if we want to be together, or you have thought of a more casual relationship? "She asked.
"No. I wish a serious relationship with the mother of my child and later … " he said nothing more
"Later what … ..marry?"
"We have to get to know each other first. Maybe it turns out that you're not exactly an angel. " He laughed
"... and you a devil with an angel face." She laughed too
He pulled her close and began kissing, licking, and lovingly biting her neck. Between his teeth he felt the chain that was around her neck.
"What have you here?"
He raised his hand to take hold of the chain to see what was on the chain.
"An angel as a pendant? Are you an angel?"
"What?"
"An angel." He smiled "... stay with me ... Angel."
"All night long?"
"And tomorrow all day. We have to go to bed now, you need a little tenderness. "
"Not a little, please a lot of it."
"Yes, Angel."
