1971

In a green tiled room a pregnant Laura Bristow was waiting for her appointment with Dr. Freeman. Boredom had brought her to studying everything in the room;

"Everything" was mostly to her dislike. She hated these olive-orange tile patterns that were modern these days. They lured one into insanity by counting them one by one. Laura couldn't fight the urge and started flipping through the maternity magazines on the table next to her. A feeling of sickness arouse in her. She hated this American Way of life. Back in Russia, everything was more simple. The people there didn't have the choice between Pampers or Dixies or whatsoever plastic diapers, they didn't even know that they existed. She hated the capitalism this country was so proud of.

Irina Derevko had joined the KGB out of love to her country and the ideals of Marx. Hah, but now she wasn't Irina anymore, she was Laura Bristow, sent to the United States of America to win the trust and love of a high ranked CIA agent. Obviously, she had proved that she had been very successful on this operation so far. Within 3 years of more or less hard work, Irina was not only married, she also had managed to get pregnant.

Oh, she missed Russia these days.

The brunette woman knew that she was sitting in a CIA hospital. It was one of the government's special offers for their employee's families to take full medical charge for them. It could cause a lot of trouble in the next few months. But Irina was used to trouble and as she sat there, she was able to crack a smile. while smoothing the leather fabric of her purse. The door burst open and Dr. Freeman waved her into his office.

" Hello Mrs. Bristow, please take a seat. So, how are we feeling today?" Dr. Freeman greeted her warmly.

"Fine, thank you." The doctor pulled out her medical record.

"The results of your AFP test came in yesterday. The amount of a protein produced in the fetal liver that was measured in your blood has increased." He smiled expectantly, as if she didn't know what he was aiming at.

"Twins? "

Irina tried to keep her tone surprised.

"Yes, Mrs. Bristow, you're right, congratulations, you are definitely becoming a mother of healthy twins. We'll schedule you an ultrasound for further determination concerning the question of identical or fraternal twins, the gender and so on."

During her first trisemester check up two weeks ago Dr. Freeman had suggested that she could be having a multiple pregnancy. Irina directly informed her Russian contact and the KGB reacted promptly. They had created a plan in her best interest, as they put it. The Russian physician she had met previously confirmed her state and gave her further instructions. She would give birth to both children but one of her babies would be separated after labor. It would be brought back to Russia under the care of Irina's mother in Moscow. A few years later Irina would hopefully follow her abandoned child back into her homeland Russia. Of course she had already developed feelings for both of her unborn babies but she would have to leave one behind in America. After all, a loving father would take care of it. A picture of Jack came into her mind, it was the day she told him she was pregnant. His ever so stiff face was full of emotion. She painfully realized that she would have to leave him behind too...

Laura sat on the side of the gynaecologist's chair and wiped a few tears of joy away.

"It runs in the family," she reflected "My grandmother also had a twin sister."

"How wonderful ! Well, then let's go on with the other details."

Dr. Freeman turned away towards his desk. This was the chance she had been waiting for. Irina carefully took a syringe out of her purse and prepared it for her further actions.

" Mr.Freeman, may I also risk a look?"

He didn't even have the time to answer, she had already injected him with a liquid which was able to set the victim into a temporary hypnotic state of mind-loss. Grasping his shoulders, she demanded:

"Dr. Freeman, look at me. You will not be able to remember the last 5 minutes of our conversation. The results from the AFP test for multiple pregnancies of your patient number 1215-7, Mrs. Laura Bristow, have shown a normal amount of fetal protein in her blood. She is expecting only one child, due to the negative test results. Have you clearly understood every word I said?"

The dazed doctor nodded his head. Irina didn't feel that much sympathy for him as she released his shoulders out of her firm grip and let his head slump on the desk. She hadn't liked him anyway. But the mother-to-be didn't have much time to think about it and the fact that she was almost 4 months pregnant already slowed her speed.

Out of terms of privacy the doctor's office was not attached to the surveillance cameras of the CIA. Causing no suspicion, Irina opened her medical record and switched the original results with the fake copies her contact had provided her. She glanced quickly at the authentic documents and shoved them into her purse. Her blood sample at the laboratory had already been swapped by an other Russian agent. No one would even get the idea that she was having twins, the KGB's plan was well prepared.

A few minutes later the doctor woke up from his unconsciousness. Laura Bristow was leaning over him with a worried glance on her face.

"Mr. Freeman, is everything all right? The minute I sat you broke down. Shall I get you a nurse?"

"No, thank you, Mrs. Bristow. It must have been a circulatory disturbance or something else, I'm feeling old these days." Laura nodded sympathetically. Without hesitating, the doctor went on:

"Well, we will just forget this incident and get to the reason why you came." Dr. Freeman paused and sighed. "Mrs. Bristow, my suggestion was wrong. The results of the AFP test are negative. You will give birth to one single child."

" What matters to me is a healthy child, Dr. Freeman." Irina smiled satisfied.
