The Back Up Plan (Camren)

Chapter 1

"I can't believe I didn't get a pedicure for this. How embarrassing. Look at that..." she thought as her toes opened and then curled down as if trying to hide.

"What's wrong with me? If I were with a real guy doing this, I would've gotten a pedicure. And a wax. I'm pathetic." she looks at her other foot.

"Fuck, that one's even worse. And when did my toes get so fat? No wonder I'm alone. I'm a fat-toed animal."

Camila lets out a sigh. She speaks out-loud now.

"Sorry I didn't get a pedicure"
"What?"

Dr.Harris looks up from between Camila's
legs, the light on his head flashing right in her eyes.

"My toes...sorry"

"I'm not looking at your toes, I'm looking at your cervix" he says bluntly.

"Right,......now I kinda wish you were looking at my toes"

Dr. Harris stands and takes off his gloves.

"All done"

"That's it?"

"I'll elevate your legs for ten minutes and then you're good to go."

He sets a kitchen timer and then pushes a button to raise her legs. They hear the loud TICK TOCK of the timer.

"This is the first time I've heard that ticking clock sound and it doesn't freak me out." She says with a shaky voice.

"Good just relax"

"I can't! I'm totally freaking out!"

"Everything's going to be great. I have a feeling you and... (checks empty syringe) Number CRM-101404 are going to make beautiful babies together."

Camila smiles. Maybe he's right. Yeah...of course he's right.

I've wanted this for so long. She thought. Maybe this isn't exactly how she pictured it, thought I'd have a little more support..
She began to thing of when she told her Best friend Dinah.

"No! You don't want kids. Trust me!" Dinah said with a tired but loud voice while preparing her family's dinner.

"Well that's easy for you to say.. you have four." Camila responded with a straight face while eating her banana.

"And it's awful!" She cried out. And with that her four children came in to the living room, that was connected with her kitchen, screaming.

"They ruin my life!" She told Camila, fed up, but didn't mean any of it. She was just tired.
"Hi pumpkins!" Camila giddily said ignoring Dinah and smiling at the kids.

"No. Go away." Dinah said in an annoyed tone but then continued. "I mean have you seen my vagina... because I will show it to you just to prove that you don't want to have kids. I will show you, MY vagina!" she told Camila while picking up all her kids toys in the hallway.

"I don't wanna see that , I wanna have a baby." Camila sighed following Dinah back into the living room.

"I just think your tired of being alone, you haven't met the right guy-"
