-Camelia Grey & Ilya De La Cruz-
Well... she was a technology whiz. Not a medical expert, if she was she certainly wouldn't be here relying on him. How was she to know that that true? Her initial stare at him was gone with a neutral gaze as he said it wouldn't be the case. Surely that would've had it's use, but she wasn't ready for that really. Who wanted menopause at her age anyways? "Who would do that? Aside from you probably" replied Camelia, taking the box now that her thoughts were shaken away. Well shaken away at the thought of menopause, now she was staring at the possibility of the opposite. Well this sucked... "Go dissect something then" said the female as she left the room and went to the bathroom.
A few seconds of hesitating at the stall was all she wasted before telling herself that she'd be proving otherwise as she followed the instructions, which were idiot-proof on the test. Fast forward a few minutes... Camelia was staring at the mirror in front of her, waiting for the result. It shouldn't be... It shouldn't be... It... "Crap." It. Was positive. "Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. CRAP!" A hand went to her face, probably doing what Mao would do soon... except hitting herself literally. Greeeeeat... Great. Camelia let out the biggest sigh she ever had and put the test back in the box, which she was holding now and would until she came home, before heading back to Mao. "...I hate you... Especially when you're right... It's positive" said the brunette with narrow eyes, as if she wanted to take it out on him. But of course she wouldn't. That's what Vlad was for after all.

Bathroom? Mei was confused by Ilya's words, and gave her a perplexed look. Wasn't she anxious to find out if she was pregnant? Really, she assumed it was like taking one's temperature. You'd just stick it under your tongue, right? "Uhm, the bathroom's--" she attempted to show the woman the way to the restroom, but she found it herself before Mei could finish her sentence, and so she just sat back down, placing her hands on her knees as she waited patiently. A baby, huh? That sounded absolutely terrifying, but Mei would be lying if she said that the idea didn't seem at least a little nice. She was almost twenty-five, the appropriate age for marriage and one's first child was quickly approaching. Maybe she should start seriously considering such a thing?
Her thoughts didn't linger on her future for long, because the whole bathroom thing was bothering her. And so she stood up and walked back over to the open cupboard and grabbed one of the other pregnancy tests, looking at the instructions. She was startled to say the least, and returned to her desk pink faced and uncomfortable.

It was at that moment that, suddenly, the door was shoved open and there shakily stood a small toddler. Xochiquetzal stared up at Mao unwaveringly, part of the thoroughly gum-mashed, saliva-soaked, rubbery lizard tail sticking out of her mouth as she sucked on it. The man stared down at her, a brow arched and a hand to his chin with a soft head tilt. This silence stretched on for a few more moments, both continuously looking into the others eyes in apparently deep thought. “Perhaps..” The man stopped. ….Naaaaah. He leaned over to scoop the baby up and set her on the counter, alternating between staring contests with the quiet girl and handing her dog jerky to see if she had her father's tastes~
When Camelia returned, Mao turned from Xochiquetzal, the child mimicking her father at the same face, although her red eyes were a bit more disturbing to have inspecting you than Mao's bored ones. ..Ah? He was right? Well, of course he was! Did she ever doubt him? “I see. Congratulations, you now have proof that you never paid attention in sex education and that you're a whore.” ..Maybe not that clever, but, eh, Mao was busy with his own bundle of joy. Xochiquetzal was having too much fun drooling all over the counter when Mao didn't have anything to collect it with! Baby drool was wonderful in youth rejuvenating medications!

Camelia had been too busy glaring at Mao to really notice there had been a toddler right besides the male. Her mouth opened some with the whore comment, right before her eyes narrowed almost into slits. "You damn Chinese evil-" Right there would've been b*****d, but... the child's eyes were unsettling her enough... Goddamn that baby! Where did it even come from!? No wait! He said whore in front of her... "b*****d." Not even as clever as him but she didn't have any good comeback to that! Not that she was a whore... cause it was only one guy but-UGH. Camelia wouldn't bother with that and simply shot the man another glare before leaving the room, and zooming past anyone else to leave.
Ilya had been done with her own test, she was just loitering in the hall when Camelia walked by her and walked by again. Huh, she wondered for a moment what she was in for, but quickly pushed that away with her own predicament. That little test had come out positive so... With a small breath she headed back to the counter to be met with Mei. She couldn't help but shrug. "So I'm gonna be a mommy... Fun... Uh..." Yeah that was awkward... Then something hit her. "You know what? Don't have sex with guys. Go lesbian! You can't get pregnant!" Brilliant! If only she would've followed that advice... Maybe she should... It's not too late! Oh but she did have to get home... Ilya shook her head at those thoughts, and what she told the poor receptionist before heading out.

New Day? Let's make it a new day. Oh, what a beautiful day today was. The sun was up and shining! Perhaps a little too much. It was quite the heat wave right now from what she could tell. Not that it really mattered. She was used to live in high heat, living mostly near the mediteranian sea all her life. At least that was the great thing about Paris, it was cooler than everywhere else she had lived, especially this island. She hopped that it wouldn’t stay warm like it was for too long. Sure, she could stand the heat for a couple of days, but if it was suppose to be like that for a weak? She’d probably end up dying.
After a good hour of walk from her apartment, she had finally been able to find the local clinic. Not that she had went into the wrong direction; it just so happen that she walked passed it three times before noticing it. She was expecting some more… less… Well, something not straight out of traditional Beijing. She entered into China world, wondering if the inside would be just like the outside and… Oh, surprise, surprise, it was! Just less noisy. Not that there were a lot of noises outside, it was that the clinic was completely dead! No one was there! No doctor, no nose, no receptionist. It was completely empty! Or at least, it was from what she could see. ”Hello? Anybody’s here?”, she ask with a slight accent betraying that English wasn’t her first language. The sound of it was more British than American, but still not quite. A Mix of the various languages she had to live in the middle of during her life.

So, he simply walked out from his staff room with a familiar little Xochiquetzal trailing behind him as she didn't have anyone else to stare at. She certainly didn't enjoy the silly shapes around daddy, but she enjoyed them more than nothing. As the Chinese man passed the hall to go down to the main room, the little girl's eyes peered over at the desk in longing. Of all the people in the clinic, Xochiquetzal enjoyed the lady behind the desk the most.. But, she wasn't in sight right then. So, daddy would have to do. Mao stared at the woman now that they were in sight, his eyes trailing up and down her in a bored and only slightly curious fashion while Xochiquetzal mirrored his look – but, much more.. oddly than he did. She clung to Mao's leg for support and sucked slowly on the dog-flavored pacifier in her mouth. How was it flavored? Oh, that was more a question to Mao and.. who really wanted to ask him anything?

 "Baby! Doctor! T'e baby is on t'e way! Now!" Pip exclaimed as he burst through the door carrying a very pregnant, very in pain, going into labor Alice. He looked around the area, briefly spotting the Doctor and some tall blonde woman. "Excuse me! Mon Dieu!" Pip said as he bolted for a room and kicked open the door, hey his hand were full. He set Alice down on a nice hospital bed and held up a finger. "I will be right back Cherie. Breathe, no?" He said before he ran back out and practically into Mao. " Fix eet! Fix eet! Im lucky she didnt kill me on t'e way 'ere! She is going into labor!" Pip said frantically as he shook the man, and then pretty much dragged Mao away from Eva and into the room he had put Alice in. " Do somet'ing!" Pip said as he released the man.

-Alice Ladd-
Later on, Alice would admire Pip for managing to make his way here in record time without upsetting her too much, and her nasty hold on him. Though right now? She just wanted him to hurry up and make his sorry a** useful. So close to insulting him, and he slipped away. Alice shook her head, letting an irritated breath before a contraction cut her evil thoughts off. Dear Goddess that ******** hurt! And it was only starting... Great... Good thing Bela had walked her through this... well if you considered walking through 'It ******** hurts. Get the drugs as soon as you', then yes, that was her preparation. Mentally, well pain she could do. Her idiot boyfriend, not so much. Least he seemed to be-completely panicking perfect. "s**t Pip... Even the other side of the island can hear you" groaned the woman as she heard him. No sooner than that he was in the room with the doctor... Joy... Do something? "Like maybe shutting him up?" asked the woman in an irritated tone. Ah pain... Alice grimaced at the wonderful event of labor, before sending a glare at Mao. "Or getting this kid out. Whatever comes first. SOON." Hormones and pain, what a lovely combination, no?

Before Mao could finish his sentence however, a flash of yellow had snatched him up and started to drag him off quite suddenly to an examination room. His normally bored features formed into one of irritation as, before he was shoved into the room, he shook the man off and walked in himself. He looked at Alice as he recalled her coming in on occasion for prenatal appointments – was she giving birth? Oh, of course. “I would be patient, Ms. Ladd,” He drawled out, in no real hurry to move toward or away from her – ah, pregnant, irritated women truly were a beauty~ If not for the pain they were in, Mao would almost call them the most attractive. “considering this is your first child, it could take anywhere from six to twelve hours to 'get the kid out', as you put it. Now, excuse me,” He turned and stared irritatedly at Pip, “I was in the middle of a conversation before you so rudely pulled me away.”
He shook his head and walked back out to Eva, frowning even more as he saw Xochiquetzal looking as confused as can be on the ground, her arms sticking straight up and flailing slowly as though she were crawling on the tips of her fingers rather than flat on her back. He rolled his eyes and took one of her hands to lift her back up, letting go so she could stagger about until she found a wall to cling to. Babies. “Dr. Baumgartner, is it? I'm Dr. Xiqui. I would introduce the staff to you, however they appear to all be on break.” Ah, how regretful that she couldn't meet the mopey nurse with a dead brother, a stuttering moronic doctor, and his secretary who had taken more to hiding in the closet than working.. Maybe she could actually fix them to be more suitable for his clinic. Though, the one's more so suffering from the lack of current staff would have to be the pregnant Alice - it was doubtful Milinda or Emily would allow the woman to go without pain medication as punishment for her rude boyfriend.

"'ey! So what now? We just wait?" Pip said as he threw his arms up. He put his hands atop his head and sighed. He looked over to Alice. "Sorry i am not 'elping Cherie am i?" Pip said as he came over to Alice. He took her hand gently and smiled nervously. " Do you need anyt'ing?" Pip made the mistake of asking.

-Alice Ladd-
"Son of a-" Alice was about to finish that comment as Mao left, before Pip spoke up and moved over to her, holding her hand. Damn Chinese... or whatever he was. She was taking a good deep breath, and wondering how he could die... which way... But Pip's voice distracted her. His mistake, to be clear wasn't asking. Oh no, it was speaking... and taking her hand. Her glanced shifted to him and narrow eyes came immediately. "I dislike you right now... With a passion... A really, deep passion..." said the female, quite softly, just to scare him.. well the light growl was to scare him. "I... need you..." With that, a very firm grip came to the blond's hand, squeezing the daylights out of him. "To stay right here with me. Holding my hand" she said with a faint minimal grin that disappeared with the discomfort she was feeling... that she took out on Pip's hand.

If Mao was right about something, it was that they were being very rude! It was only a child coming out. Not like it wasn’t happening every day around the world, and everyone knew that they never came out right away. Woman should take a chill pill and the man some back bone. She took a mental note to make them her first clients…. Oh, why wait? ”Now, if you excuse me… I think I’ll go do what you hired me for.” Flipping her hair, she made her way into the room with the screaming woman and the crying man. It was quite obvious who was wearing the pants in that couple! She spied on them for a moment longer, which really was just her standing in the doorway, before walking closer and putting a hand on Pip’s shoulder. ”Mister? This is clearly your first child together and, as a professional, I would recommend that you leave the room and let your wife alone trough this ordeal. She obviously has condependent issue…” She took a moment before looking the girl up. Damn, she looked like some old stripper. “…probably due to a past rape and/or abusive relationship, while you… Well, one thing at a time,will you? Now, come with me, this will help the birth of your child, your relationship and how well the child will grow up in the future. It’s all for the better.”

"Oui. Eet is.. but.. ah!" Pip winced, he was sure his hand was broken at this point. And he didnt want to leave Alice but this other woman wanted to talk with him. And it was hard for Pip to say no to any woman, any nice woman that is. It was more of the way he was brought up. His father taught him to cater to a woman's every desire and demand. But this.. this.. tall blond woman. She.. who the hell was she anyways?! "Who are you anyways? You sound like ah!- " Pip winced again. "A-a mind doctor. W-Well. i.. cant just leave Cherie here. I mean.. " Pip said looking to Eva. Wow she was tall, and her hand on his shoulder didnt go unnoticed. His gaze even went to it, Pip looked back to Alice confusion and a question on his mind and in his eye. "Cherie? Do you mind? Will you be okay for a little bit?" Pip asked gently. "You can break t'e rest of my 'and later? I will be right back." Pip said with a smile before he winced again in pain. Goddamn why? WHY did he get close to his pregnant Cherie?!

Mao came to the doorway and paused, just as Eva did, although he was watching and listening her more than the utterly boring and entirely rude couple that had placed themselves there. “I don't think there will be a later, Mr. Bernadetto.” Mao drawled as he slowly made his way into the room and went to the bed where his patient lay. “You don't really have much relation with the woman here and, really, I don't see why I should allow a stranger to come hover around my patient.” He arched a brow at the man to see if he had any way to defend himself – or if he would even try. Most men would rather wait outside than deal with a pregnant woman and would, of course, jump on any excuse to get out. Saying the doctor forced him out would put Mao as the bad guy and give Pip a free get-out-of-jail card – in the end, Mao found he was probably helping Pip. Ah. Regretful.
