Chapter Two: Girl or Boy? (Don't you know already?)
A month later:
"Welcome back, Mrs Rimmer, I guess you really want to know the sex of your child" the doctor said as she walked in the office.
She nodded her head as she sat down.
This time she was full of emotion and she seemed unable to mask her anxiety.
"Well, let's see" he said, looking down her chart.
This seemed like 15 seconds to get the information to him, but to Mrs Rimmer it felt like 15 years. Waiting a whole month without knowing had been like torture to her. She needed to know, because the life of this kid depends on whether it's a boy or a girl.
So, will it be a girl? Or maybe a boy?
She could hard bear it anymore and she was about to blow with fury of not know, when the doctor finally announced the sex.
"It's a girl!" he announced
At that very moment Mrs Rimmer's face fell or rather plummeted
"Judging by you face, I guess that's not the news you were wanting"
"No, it is not good news" She confirmed
"Could I ask why?"
"You could, but I wouldn't answer it"
"Oh! But you do know it's a good idea to talk about your problems"
"I know, but I can't. But thank you for trying anyway" she said before ridding her face of emotion and walking out of the office to the bus stop.
What will she do if her husband found out about this?
He would kill her if he found out that's it's a girl.
Why? I hear you not asking me; the reason is that all his XX sperms were destroyed in a black market operation so he would only get sons. This is because he believed boys should be the only ones tough enough to be in the space corps.
Mrs Rimmer reached the bus stop just as the pod arrived and so quickly got on, paid, took the ticket and sat.
As she sat she realised that she couldn't keep the baby, but she couldn't kill it ether because it was the only thing she had to cling on to the love that made it, and she would forever keep in her heart.
She would have to come up with a plan to save her girl.
Author notes: I hope you have enjoyed the story so far.
It's abit of a twist to what you may have been expecting, but it does make you question who this baby is because we all know that Rimmer only has brothers, so it makes you think about the note I left on the chapter before doesn't it. Well, I may have lied abit.
Lets carry on Dwarfing then!
