"No," she said. "Luckily, he thinks he gave me a cupful of duds, so he won't come snooping around. Most humans have no idea the miracles you can achieve with just a few drops of frozen blood and skin from under a fingernail." Again the knowing smile.
Dr. Avalos wasn't sure what she meant. Nor did he know why he seemed drawn to this woman. There was something about her. Like perfume, but without odor.
The doctor, cleared his throat. "I'll be blunt, even though you've probably heard this before. It would be safer to reduce the number of babies. Two or three would be better to insure healthy births."
His patient looked at him coldly. "No," she said. He directed her attention to the sonogram. "There's at least six heartbeats." With a pen he pointed to a tiny smudge on the monitor. "Maybe seven. I think that one up there might be another one. Multiple births are risky."
"They'll all be fine," she assured him. "I was designed to carry more than one at a time." She took his hand. "I'm not like other women."
He knew he should pull away. This wasn't proper. He could lose his job, his license. But the odor that couldn't be smelled filled his head with indecent thoughts. There was something beguiling about this woman. Almost as if pregnancy were releasing pheromones he was finding impossible to resist. Of course that couldn't be the case.
The woman stroked his hand.
"We can discuss it over dinner tonight," she said. Dr. Avalos glanced at the examining-room door, making certain it was closed.
"I'm not sure it would be appropriate to have dinner with a clinic patient," he whispered. In his head he was already making the reservations.
His patient smiled.
"I didn't say you'd be eating," purred Judith White.
