Life changing mistake

Miya and Lucas sat in the doctor's office, and Miya could tell that her husband would do anything to get out of there.

"Okay, Lucas. I will need your specimen for the procedure." Dr. Christina said as she set the transparent cup on the desk.

Lucas stood up without saying a word, grabbed the cup from on the table, and walked into the bathroom without looking back.

"I am sorry," Miya said, feeling embarrassed about her husband's behavior.

Dr. Christina did not reply, but she gave Miya a friendly smile to show her that she did not mind Lucas' rude attitude.

A few seconds later, Lucas returned to the room and dropped the cup on the table. He then turned to Dr. Christina and scowled at her.

"Is this enough to make her a baby!" He harshly said.

"Uh, yes!" Dr. Christina replied with shock in her gaze.

Upon hearing her reply, Lucas turned around and stared at Miya before removing a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, then he advanced toward the door.

"You can't smoke in the hospital!" Miya angrily said.

"Then I will not do it in the hospital! Meet me outside when you get that thing inserted inside of you!" Lucas coldly responded, then he walked out the door and shut it behind him.

Miya turned to face Dr. Christina and the only expression on her face was shame. She gives an awkward smile at her, and Christina softly smiles back at her. But Miya still felt terrible even though she knew it was not her sin to repent for.

The West Wing lobby seemed peaceful. A lot of folks had gone somewhere and Chris was left seated on the bench alone after Rose had left to go to the restroom. As his eyes scanned the room to find something interesting, a father and his daughter caught his attention as he looked their way.

"Dad, when is mom going to come home?" Chris overheard the little girl saying, and he could sense the longing she felt in every word that she had said.

"Soon, sweetheart." The father responded, and his statement brought a bit of sadness to Chris' heart because he knew the father was only trying to solace his baby girl, but no one was there to comfort him.

A second later, Chris saw Rose coming back, and he directed his eyes away from the father and his daughter, then placed it on her.

Rose smiled as their eyes met. She walked up to Chris and took the seat next to him and they sat down for a while in silence.

"Why are you still here, son? Don't get me wrong. I appreciate every second that you are here with me because I wouldn't be this calm if you had not been here with me. Still, you and my son don't know each other that well, so why did you stay when you could walk out with no judgment from others." Rose sweetly said after ten seconds had passed.

"My father always said to me, 'For you to become a successful businessman, you have to be a decent human being.' If I want to have a flourishing partnership with your son, I have to prove to him that I will be there for him through it all, and I count this as the beginning." Chris said in a deep yet soft voice.

After Chris's response, Rose felt blessed that she raised her son well enough for him to be able to attract mature people.

"Your father is a wise man, and you are an amazing son for listening and following his advice," Rose said with admiration in her words.

"Thank you," Chris uttered as he rubbed his hands together, feeling shy about Rose's compliment.

After some minutes had passed, a nurse came out of the operating room, pushing a trolley with a container on it.

The moment she passed by Chris, he felt the urge to pee. His eyes gaze at Rose's sleeping face before he stands up and follows after the nurse since the bathroom is in the same direction.

Miya anxiously laid on the exam table with Dr. Christina seated in a chair in front of her.

"What are we waiting for again?" Miya softly said.

"Because non-sperm components in semen can cause reactions in the woman's body that conflict with fertilization, your husband's sample needs to be washed in a way that separates the extremely active, normal sperm from lower-quality sperm, and other elements. So we are waiting for the nurse to bring the washed sperm." Dr. Christina calmly replied.

Miya looked up at the bulb, but the light was too bright. So she turned her head to the left. Her body felt nervous, and all the waiting was not helping.

"I know you are scared, but I promise you there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of right now. You have passed all the difficult parts. Your transvaginal ultrasound result came out healthy, and you have been given an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin that makes you ovulate one or more eggs at the right time. So your chances of getting pregnant are high. You just need to relax your mind and body." Dr. Christina said with a smile.

Miya looks down at the doctor's friendly face, but it did not help relieve how fast her heart was beating or the many negative thoughts racing through her mind.

"I understand what you are saying Doc, but I can't be calm, that's how nervous I am right now. Getting pregnant means everything to me. I have always wanted kids, but my husband doesn't, and I am afraid that if I wait too long, he is going to make me lose the ability to do so." Miya explained.

Dr. Christina gazes at Miya without speaking her mind. She felt like it was not her job to intervene in her patient's life situation. But since Miya opened up to her, Dr. Christina thought it was okay to get a clear understanding of what Miya meant.

"Why do you want to have a kid by a man who doesn't want one? You are a pretty and young woman. Men will be rushing at your feet if you announce that you are single, so why do you tolerate him?" Dr. Christina straightforwardly asked.

"Because I love him. I love him so much that whatever he does to me, I can forgive, and that's why I want my children to be by him only since he's the one that has my heart." Miya replied.

A few minutes into Chris following after the nurse, her phone rings. She stops the trolley by a door and walks a few distances away to answer the phone.

"I know you are the principal of the school, but you do not have the right to tell me how to discipline my son." The nurse screamed.

Miya and Dr. Christina heard the noise outside, and Dr. Christina smiled as she stood up from the chair.

"I will go check to see what's going on." She said.

Chris was about to bend into the next hallway when he noticed the door open, so he stopped and waited to see what would happen next.

Dr. Christina came out and saw the trolley. She then gazed at the nurse, but her back remained turned, and she seemed busy with her call. Dr. Christina shook her head in disbelief, pulled the trolley in, then shut the door.

"Okay, the sperm is here, and we can get started." She declared.

A few seconds later, Dr. Christina had everything prepared, and it was time to perform the procedure.

Miya puts her legs into stirrups, and Dr. Christina inserts a speculum into her vagina.

The doc then attaches a vial containing a sample of healthy sperm to the end of a long, thin, flexible tube, and she inserts the catheter into Miya's vagina through her cervical opening and into her uterus.

Afterward, she pushes the sperm sample through the tube into Miya's uterus, and finally, she removes the catheter, followed by the speculum.

"We are done. See, I told you it won't be hard. Now all you need to do is lie on your back for a brief period." Christina gently said.

"Knock!" Miya and the doctor heard a tap on the door. Christina approached the door and opened it. Once she saw the frustrating expression on the nurse's face, she stepped outside and shut the door.

Chris bent into the other hallway and lent against the wall. However, he was still close enough to hear these women's discussions.

"Dell, what is the matter?" Dr. Christina asked the nurse with concern in her voice.

"Did you take a trolley to your office?" Dell asked.

"Yes, I did. Is that a problem?" Dr. Christina replied, feeling a bit confused about what was going on.

"Oh my God, what have I done?" Dell cried.

At that moment, another nurse carrying a trolley approached them at the office door.

"Dr. Christina, here is Mr. Sánchez washed semen." The guy said.

"If this is her husband's sperm, then who's own did I insert in her?" Christina asked with confusion and fear in her tone.

"It was Mr. David. He is still in the operating room with a fifty-fifty chance of survival. His semen was extracted because his penis got severely injured from the accident." Dell said.

The three medical workers stood there in silence, trying to understand the mess they have gotten themselves into at such a period in their careers.

"What are we going to do?" The male nurse asked.

"I don't know, Sele. One thing is for sure, we won't allow her to know that the sperm inside of her is for another because she desperately wants to get pregnant for her husband. I am afraid that if she finds out, she may abort the child and sue the hospital." Dr. Christina explained.

"We can't allow that to happen. We will lose our jobs and our licenses if this becomes public." Dell cried.

"I have a solution. If she gets pregnant, I am going to abort the child without her knowledge. We all know that IUI usually has false-positive and false-negative, which means it is not a guarantee of success in getting pregnant." Dr. Christina stated.

She felt disgusted with herself, knowing that what she was about to do was completely against her medical profession, but Christina also knew that this was the only way she could save her career as a doctor.

"What about Mr. David? What if he survived this operation? How are we going to account for his semen?" Dell asked, feeling bothered about what they were about to do.

"We will figure it out after he survives the surgery. For now, let's focus on what truly matters." Dr. Christina said.

They all agree with her words and decided to keep this matter to themselves without telling anyone else. As they were about to go their separate ways when a voice stopped them in their tracks.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think your plan is going to work!" Chris announces.

The nurses and Dr. Christina turned their heads and saw Chris standing at the entrance of the bathroom hallway.

"Mr. Ash!" Dr. Christina said in fear.

"Oh, it's good that you know me, then let's make this quick. That pregnancy can't be aborted by you or her. Since you know me, you should know that I am a man of little patience for nonsense. That kid much comes into this world at any cause. Is that clear?" Chris asked with seriousness in his gaze.

"Yes, Mr. Ash." They answered in unison.

"Since that is settled, I am going now. However, I will keep in touch with you, Dr. Christina. I hope when I do, I will get a good result." Chris said before walking away and heading to the bathroom.

"Who is he?" Sele asked.

"I know you are new here, but a man like Mr. Ash is not to be messed with in this hospital. He owns a huge share within this hospital, and his word is the law. I don't know how he knows Mr. David, but we can't do anything to upset him or our job will be the last thing we have to worry about right now." Dr. Christina replied.

"What are we going to do with Mr. Sánchez semen?" Sele inquired.

"Trash it, and let's not talk about this again." Dr. Christina answered.

After her remarks, the two nurses walk away, and she heads inside to Miya.

"What happened out there that made you stay so long?" Miya asked.

She remained still and laid on her back like the doctor had ordered her to do.

"It's nothing. You can sit up now. Please come back in two weeks for me to do a blood test on you to confirm if you are pregnant or not." Christina said.

Miya saw the stress in Christina's expression when she spoke, but she did not want to ask any further questions to involve causing the doctor any discomfort.
