Chapter 20: Seeds of Doubt
Nataliya felt someone shaking her as she jolted back into consciousness. Eva was next to her with a relieved expression on her face.
"You had me so worried there," she said, wrapping her arms around Nataliya.
"I'm... fine," Nataliya responded, placing a hand on her throbbing head.
"What was that? Did you faint?"
"I... I guess so..."
"I guess we're not ready for a baby then..."
"It was just... so sudden... that's all." Nataliya kissed Eva on the cheek.
"So you're okay with it?"
"Maybe..."
"Why maybe?"
"Aren't we a little young?"
"I guess, but I really want a baby..."
"You know you'll have to carry it, right?"
"Yeah."
Nataliya stood up and looked out the window, she was desperately trying to think of a way to stop this, "I... don't like the idea of some other guy's genes in it."
"We have money to spare, it costs about half a million Euros, there was some testing a few years back that developed a way to remove the sperm entirely and take the genetic material from another egg. It was just cleared for public use. It'll always be a girl, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue."
"Half a million Euros!?"
"Having a baby with your eyes is worth it."
Nataliya's eyes... Why would Eva want the baby to have Nataliya's eyes? Eva had never truly seen Nataliya at work, aside from their honeymoon, but most of that had been blocked from her memory(repression can be a powerful thing). She rubbed her temple before walking into the bathroom.
She pulled down her pants and underwear and sat down as she said, "That's a lot of money..."
"It's worth it though," Eva reiterated, walking into the bathroom and leaning against the doorway.
"Did you grow a scat fetish while I was gone?"
"What? No! I just... We need to talk about this face to face..."
"I'm kidding..."
"Are you okay with having a baby?"
The first thought that came to Nataliya's mind was to scream NO at the top of her lungs, but she couldn't... Eva really wanted it, which made it fine... Nataliya's phone vibrated, so she pulled it out of the pants at her feet. It was a text from Ashley:
Next time I'll let you stick something in MY ass. ;)
"If... if you really want one," Nataliya began, texting back:
Next time?
"I only want it if you want it," Eva responded, "I realize that you will still be gone sometimes, being the most frightening person in the organization calls for that... but I don't want to raise our daughter by myself..."
