Dr. Jack Parker, Fertility Specialist (Closed for GPLockwood)
Ava’s appointment was at 2:00pm, so she had told Cole not to come. She knew his absence would be noted at work and he had already taken enough leave due to her. In truth, she was ashamed to be here, ashamed she had to be here, and her husband. . . well, for some reason she just felt like she wanted to do this alone. Ava didn’t want to see the pain in his eyes, too, when she had to re-tell her history.
Ava fiddled in her leather bag, turning her cell phone off. She glanced around the clean, quiet waiting room and took note of the beautiful, blonde secretary. She had a fullness to her face and chest. . . OMG, she was pregnant, too.
Ava struggled against tears, wondering how she could create so much in her life, but she couldn’t create a life.
There were a few men in suits in the room, assumedly waiting on their wives, and a few women who appeared pudgy.
A chirpy, red-headed nurse opened the reception door and called, “Ava Foster? Please follow me.” She led Ava down the hallway with a bounce in her step.
Ava said a silent prayer of letting go. Please God, if I’m meant to bring a child into this world, let this treatment work. If it doesn’t, then I’ll take that as a sign, too.
Although, truthfully, Ava knew she couldn’t afford adoption. She would have to go much more public with her career and that wasn’t a choice that she was ready to make. As it was, she hoped no one would recognize her here. Ava purposely kept a low profile and loved the freedom that it allowed her.
It really came down to a choice of fertility treatments or adoption.
