(Closed for Saedo) ~ Enjoy
It had only been through a series of coincidences that Kristin found herself sitting in the office of Dr. Simon Idris, ten minutes prior to her appointment time, in a black dress and boots that she hoped made her look ‘responsible’. She wore her blonde hair loose; adorned simply with a thin, gold pendant and a statement ring.
Time had flown since she had casually talked to Cheryl after their writer’s group a month ago. She had confessed her strong desire to get pregnant, to have a child—NOW. Yes, even as a young, single person! She and Cheryl had spoken for another hour and a half over coffee and then a drink about all her options. They both knew how to plot and discuss story arcs and they pretended Kristen was a character in a story. It was much easier to do an idea dump if she depersonalized the problem. They had laughed about their wild, fictionalized scenarios. But, ultimately Cheryl had suddenly realized that she had a married friend who was in a similar situation and she had conceived after seeing a fertility therapist. Her friend had been vague about the details, but Cheryl had dug further and forwarded her Dr. Simon Idris’s contact information.
Initially, there had been a six week waiting list, but coincidentally, there was a cancellation today and Kristin’s schedule was flexible enough to allow for the appointment. Only two weeks of nervous excitement and hope instead of six weeks!
Kristen reminded herself that she had nothing to lose, here. Dr. Idris was here to help her, and nothing ventured, nothing gained. It almost wasn’t surprising that she was going about the most natural thing in the world. . . having a baby. ..in a convoluted way. But, this urge to conceive had only intensified and she knew it was the right decision to have a baby. Now.
