Seraph and Tish sat in the office of one Dr Floyd as he went over their paperwork, tapping his pen to it occasionally as he read. "Thank you for making time for this, I know you both have very busy lives, as do most that chose this path of procreation." He says looking over them. "Now we have found some troublesome genetic markers in your DNA Mr Seraph, but they are easy enough to work around. All we need is for you to sign off on this and provide samples."

Tish chewed her lip. "I know how Seraph does it, just him jerking it into a dixy cup, but how do I... Give you a sample?"

Dr Floyd took a breath. "Well, we can create a child from just blood samples, but for the highest chance of success, we need a egg and sperm, meaning IVF."

Tish blinks. "And IVF is?"

Dr Floyd explained.

Tish pales. "You are going to shove an ultrasound wand up my pussy, then a needle?"

The doctor nodded. "You will be anethitised, so you won't feel a thing, but in the days following you will experience abdominal cramping."

Seraph grabbed his wife's shoulder. "Not to late to back out."

Tish took a deep breath. "No, I want this, I will get probed.... But you are not hearing the end of this Mr Dixy cup."

Seraph chuckled as Dr Floyd coughed. "Mr Seraph, Miss Fuego, we also need to talk gestation speed, do you want to wait the traditional nine months or four months?"

Seraph's brow wrinkled. "Four? But Paragon Protectors are grown a lot faster than that."

Dr Floyd nods. "While we use the same technology as Crey, such an accelerated grow is detrimental to the growth of a healthy brain, it's why Protectors are for lack of a better word, simple."

Seraph looks to Tish, then Dr Floyd. "Anything else you need from us?"

Floyd taps his paperwork. "For the child, we need a recording of your wife's heart beat and voice, aural stimulus is very important to fetal growth."

Seraph looks at his wife, holding her hand. "This is a lot to go through... You up to it?"

Tish fishes out her phone. "Give me dates, I will have to cancel some hero shit to do this, but I'm in."

Dr Floyd hands over a sheet of paper. "Fine, just sign here and we can get started."

The two of them put down their signatures, Dr Floyd taking the paperwork. "We can book you in for egg harvesting and recording tomorrow if that's good for you?"

They nods as Tish starts cancelling appointments.

The next day
Kings Row medical.

Seraph waited in the hallway, his part was over and done, even if it was a little embarrassing to have a nurse offer him material to help him get a sample. The door opened and a towering black skinned woman with red eyes smiled at him. "Your wife is recovering Mr Seraph, you can see her now."

He nodded his thanks and stepped into the hospital room, Tish sitting up in a hospital bed, still wearing a gown. "So... You okay?" He asked, stepping up to the bed side and noticing some device under her gown attached to her chest.

"Well mister Dixy cup, I am numb below the waist and now know what an alien abductee feels like, right now they are just recording my heart beat."

He rests a hand on her shoulder. "So... Four months?"

She nods. "They also gave me a script for something, lact something or other.... Any idea what the fuck that's for?"

He chuckles. "Tish, they gave you a script to lactate."

She gives him a confused look. "Lac what?"

"For milk to feed the baby... You are going to feed the baby right?"

She blinks. "Fuck I did not even think a out that, how the fuck am I feeding the baby if I'm out heroing?"

He rubs her arm. "Well, you can use a pump to collect for later use?"

She eyes him. "How are you some much more collected about this than me?"

He bends down and kisses her brow. "Because I rose Neph as a baby all by myself, I know what I am doing.... But for Neph I gave her formula and boy did she hate it."

Tish sighed. "Thank fuck I got you by my side." She took his hand.... Then punched him in the arm.

"What was that for?"

She grinned. "Pay back for you getting the easy route Dixy cup boy."
