" So after they take," Faith said as she settled down in the doctor's office between Joy and Winston," eggs from me and his boys from him they'll stick them in some Tupperware dish to fertilize and then ship them back to me. That's how Spencer explained it to me. "
Joy and Winston exchanged glances with each other. Then they looked at Faith. Winston scribbled on his dry erase board and held it up so they could read the words ," Spencer explained it like THAT? ".
Faith shrugged her shoulders. " Ok. Maybe not quite like that. I gave it a common sense rewrite. Speaking of rewrite I need to work on some essays. Wonder how long this will take ?"
Joy pulled out her phone and said cheerily," Oh , forget school for one day, Faithie. This is a big moment. I want a picture of you two. "
Faith rolled her eyes at Winston who looked uncomfortable at the sight of the camera phone. His hand went up instinctively to his slightly scarred face. " Come on , frozen Pop , we'll never escape her and her incessant picture taking. Only person who has her beat on it is Spencer. "
" Hush ," Joy laughed. " And say Petri Dish! "
Faith laughed and eventually so did Winston as they tossed their arms around each other's shoulders and leaned closer, big smiles on their faces, Faith making rabbit ears with her fingers behind his head.
" Petri Dish! ," Faith said in between giggles right before Joy snapped the picture. Then two more.
The nurse opened the door to the fertility clinic waiting room and called out," Faith Lane ? The doctor will see you and your husband now. "
Faith stood up, saying," I'm Faith Lane. "
Joy stood up too. " And, I'm her husband.... I mean wife.... I mean fiancee. "
Winston stood up as well with his dry erase board that now read ," And, I'm the Frozen Pop. "
Then the outer door to the clinic slid open and in rode Spencer with Miracle bouncing on his lap. Both were wearing face masks. Spencer's said " Genius 1" , Miracle's read " Baby Genius ". Spencer said nervously," DuBuis had to work and the kids have school but I am here. Am I too late for the implantation of Faith Lane with Winston Arnett's sperm ? And , am I allowed to video tape? Strictly for educational purposes of course. "
The nurse looked at them all and sighed. " I suppose you all can come back. I suppose. "
