“What do you mean, ‘You gave me the wrong sperm sample?’”
I can’t quite believe what I’m hearing. I take a look around the room to
check my surroundings and confirm that this is in fact reality and not just
some terrible, twisted, Häagen-Dazs-fueled nightmare.
Unfortunately for me, everything seems to be in order.
The placard on the wall reads SAEDER & BANKS FERTILITY CLINIC
OF CHICAGO in a sleek, modern font. The fluorescent lights overhead
sound like buzzing mosquitos, casting pale white light over every inch of
the exam room. There’s not a speck of dust to be found. Normally, I’m the
last person to complain about a clean room, but in this case, it’s just
contributing to the sense that none of this is real life.
I pinch myself. It hurts.
Shit. Maybe this is real after all.
Dr. Saeder blinks down at me. Or up, rather. He’s perched on his gleaming
black wheely stool and I’m sitting on the edge of the exam table with my
feet dangling in the air like a naughty kid in the principal’s office. He looks
like an ancient tortoise from this angle, all bristly nose hairs and beaked
nose and bulbous eyes magnified to ridiculous proportions by his Coke
bottle glasses.
He clears his throat and starts again. He’s one part weary and ten parts
terrified that I’m about to sue his ass into the next dimension—which is
reasonable, because I’m sure as hell considering it. “As I explained, Ms.
Turner, there was a mix-up in the labeling system for donor samples at our
offsite lab facility. At the intrauterine insemination stage of proceedings for
a surrogacy pregnancy such as yours, the biological…”
He drones on and on, but I’m not really hearing him. I processed it the first
time he explained things—well, processed it logically, at least. Emotionally,
I’m light years away from coming to grips with the bombshell that the notso-good doctor just dropped on me.
I’m pregnant with the wrong man’s baby.
There isn’t a therapist alive who’s qualified to deal with this ol’ satchel of
trauma. Thanks a lot to the sperm clinic from hell.
It’s not like I didn’t have enough of the stuff already—trauma, that is, not
sperm. When your sister and brother-in-law get viciously murdered a month
before you’re supposed to start carrying their baby for them, you end up
with enough baggage to last a lifetime.
Today was supposed to be a good day, dammit. Well, as good of a day as
you can have in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy like the one that stole
Rose and Jared from me. I was supposed to come in and get final
confirmation that my eggs were properly fertilized. That the baby Rose had
spent her entire life dreaming of would finally be hers, albeit not quite in
the way she’d always imagined.
