~~The Llanview Fertility Clinic~~
It was the day of Kim's first insemination and Stacy was feeling nervous while Kim was bursting with hope and excitement. "I just know this is gonna work, Stace," Kim said as they arrived at Dr. Carter's office. Kyle had set up an appointment for Kim with Dr. Carter who was going to perform the insemination.
"I hope it does work, Kim. Remember, Dr. Carter said at your first appointment that it may take two or three tries before you become pregnant... and sometimes, not even then," Stacy reminded.
"Don't worry, Stace. I have faith in Kyle's sperm," Kim said with a smirk.
Stacy just gave Kim a look as they walked up toward the receptionist at the fertility clinic. "Yes, may I help you?" the young woman behind the desk asked.
"I'm here to see Dr. Carter. And is Dr. Kyle Lewis here by chance?" Kim asked.
Just then, Oliver left the small nearby waiting room and approached Kim and Stacy. "Kyle's in a private room, giving his sample now," Oliver spoke discreetly.
"Then why aren't you helping him?" Kim demanded.
Oliver's face turned bright red in embarrassment. "Uhhh well... the nurse said I couldn't go in there," Oliver admitted.
"Excuse me," the receptionist spoke up. "You're here for your insemination, is that correct, Ms. Andrews?"
"Yes, that is correct," Kim responded.
"You may go down the hall to room number seven. The doctor will be with you shortly," said the receptionist.
Suddenly Kim looked at Stacy nervously. "I'm scared. You're going to hold my hand, right?" she asked softly.
"What's wrong, Kim?" Oliver asked with concern.
"She'll be fine. It's just a woman-thing..." Stacy reassured Oliver. "I'm going to go with her now to the room. We'll see you soon." Oliver nodded and returned to the waiting room.
Stacy took Kim's arm and began leading her down the hallway. "Everything will be just fine, Kim. Why are you scared?" Stacy asked.
"I dunno. I guess I am just thinking of my ankles in those stirrups, the bright lights, and that huge turkey baster-like thing being inserted into my-."
"Kimmie!" Stacy gasped.
"Yeah," Kim said, swallowing hard. "And it's gonna be filled with Kyle's 'sample.'"
Stacy tried not to laugh. She wrapped her arms around Kim right there in the hallway and pulled her in close. "It will all be over soon, Kimmie... and hopefully nine months from now, you'll have a beautiful little baby. And I promise I will hold your hand the whole time."
"I love you, Stacy," Kim said softly as she held her so tight.
"And I love you."
Holding hands, they walked into the exam room together. Minutes later, Kim was lying down on the table, ready for the procedure. She was still nervous, but she was much calmer now as she took in a deep, cleansing breath. The nurse prepped Kim for the insemination, then Dr. Carter entered the room, carrying Kyle's sample. "Just relax, Ms. Andrews," said the doctor. "This should only take a few moments."
Kim did her best to relax while the doctor performed the insemination. She was told to lay on the table for about 20 minutes following the procedure. She tried to relax as she settled her gaze onto Stacy. "Do you think it worked?" Kim softly asked.
"I sure hope it did," responded Stacy. "Do you feel pregnant?"
"I dunno. What do you think Oliver and Kyle are doing now?"
"Not sure... but I do hope Kyle washed his hands."
Kim smirked. "It's so weird... thinking about him doing his 'thing' into a little cup."
"Yeah... too bad that nurse wouldn't let Oliver 'help.'"
Both of Kim and Stacy burst into fits of giggles. They were still giggling when they appeared in the waiting room a little while later. Kyle and Oliver were waiting there like nervous fathers. Both were pacing the floor.
"How'd it go?" Kyle asked.
"Everything went great. She thinks she's pregnant," Stacy answered.
"Really?" Oliver asked hopefully.
"Well, I am not really sure," Kim spoke up. "It all depends on Kyle's sperm... and how powerful it is."
"Kim!" Stacy gasped.
Kyle was blushing profusely as the four of them left the fertility clinic together. "Call us right away if we are pregnant!" Kyle called out as he and Oliver headed over toward their car.
"You guys will be the first to know!" Kim promised.
