H.E.L.P. ... I'm addicted

Part 13 - Our reality

Arriving for her first (Intro vitro fertilization) appointment, Lindsey was taken to another room so they could gather sperm cells, Stevie changing in to a robe then being prepped for the procedure. The first step of this was to remove eggs from her ovaries to be implanted with sperm in a lab, Stevie on edge as she waited for Lindsey to arrive. She wouldn't allow them to move forward unless he was with her, wanting his hand as they started this mission together.

"Hey, baby," Lindsey said as he entered the room, Stevie sitting up on her elbows as she smiled, having had tears streaming down her face. "What's wrong?" asking her as he took her hand, kissing her lips.

"I was alone with my thoughts, I didn't find it enjoyable."

He smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm here now," rubbing her hand then kissing it, the doctor and nurse entering as they went over everything with them.

Giving Stevie a quick ultra sound to check over her reproductive system, something unusual struck the doctor's eye.

"What? What is it?"  Stevie asked as she began to panic, the doctor focusing on one specific area that then had the nurse even in shock. "Christ, will someone tell me what is going on?!"

The doctor looked at his nurse and then at Stevie, taking off his glasses and gloves. "I'm sorry - well not, sorry, but...Ms. Nicks, you are already pregnant."

She looked to Lindsey as he raised his eyebrows. "Wait, are you sure?" looking back at the doctor.

"Well, yes," beginning to point out various things on the screen. "If we were to distrub this embyro already in incubation, it would never survive. I have to say that this was not expected but isn't out of the norm either."

Lindsey started to cry with a smile, taking Stevie by the face and placing his forehead to hers. "Did you hear that, baby?"

Stevie nodded. "Yes. Yes, I did," one hand on the back of his head.

"How far along is she?" asked Lindsey.

"Not very long. I'd say five weeks," answered the doctor.

"How is that possible?" Lindsey asked again.

Laughing, the doctor put his glasses back on. "Son, I'm sure you know the answer to that."

"No - it's just that we haven't been trying. When she started those pills for mass egg production, we were afraid to botch the process."

"Linds," Stevie took his arm, "...we did."

"Honey," leaning down towards her ear, "...I didn't come."

"You don't technically have to."

"Doctor, please tell her that I have to be able to orgasm in order to impregnate her."

He laughed again, "Mr. Buckingham, I'm sure you have heard of the word, precum. This is very rare but also effective if sperm has been stuck in the urethra from a previous ejaculation. All I'm saying here is that Ms. Nicks has successfully conceived and we can start monitoring immediately."

Stevie turned her head to look at Lindsey with the biggest grin, loving the fact that she was right and he was wrong, him still happy about the news but wanting to be the one with the correct information.

Setting up a future appointment with the gynecologist, Stevie was given some tips on what to watch out for and expect, that not being too hard for her since she already had been educating herself on it, reading books outside near Robin's memorial.

Lindsey got Stevie in to the car and she was the happiest he's seen in almost a month, watching her as she just stared out of the window with her hand on her stomach. "Baby, you alright?" touching her shoulder.
