Jamie Knight [Knight - My Doctor’s Secret Baby (His Secret Baby Book 6)

So, said Dr. Roberts, entering the room after knocking softly. I hear youre ready to have a baby.

He sounded more excited that I felt in that moment. His face lit up like he was a gameshow host. I didnt quite match his level of enthusiasm, but he did make me chuckle a little. I pulled the hospital gown tighter across my small frame. I had always been teased because of my small, mousy features and wondered what pregnancy would really be like.

Do I need to start from the very beginning, going over a brief history of IVF? Or have you already read up on the necessary information? I see that this is your second visit with us, but your first time seeing a doctor.

He gingerly fingered my file that had just a few sheets of paper inside of it. His kind, dark eyes focused pointedly on it.

This is my first visit to see you, yes, but I have already read up on IVF and had a consultation. And, as a matter of fact, I already picked out the donoruhsamples

Samples? asked Dr. Roberts, pretending to be confused. Oh, you mean the SPERM?

He roared with laughter. I could feel my cheeks turning bright red. I was beginning to question my decision to be here or, at the very least, started to wonder if he would be the right doctor for the procedure. He was not like any other doctor that Id ever seen. But, I figured that I was already there and obviously he must know something about the process, so I dismissed the thought.

Can you lean back and put your feet in the stirrups here? he said, gently touching two metal arms which hung out at the ends of the table. I leaned back and closed my eyes. I could hear him fiddling around with some instruments.

Open wide, he instructed, his soft, globed fingers grazing the inside of my thighs. I took a deep breath and did as I was told. He eased a piece of cold plastic inside of my vagina, stretching me open as he clicked the device into place. I jumped, not expecting to feel so stretched open. But, considering the fact that I had never even had sex, I shouldnt have been so surprised. I was relieved when, after a few minutes of shining a flashlight inside of me, he took it out.

So, tell me more about your fertility history. Have you had challenges getting pregnant naturally? asked Dr. Roberts, running his hand across my belly and pushing down softly.

No, I answered. Im not in a relationship and havent been trying to conceive a baby naturally. I just have decided that I want to have a baby and I really dont see why I should wait.

I started to fidget uncomfortably. I had had this same conversation with my mother, several married mom friends, and anyone who felt the need to ask why my uterus had not as of yet produced a child.

Its okay, said Dr. Roberts, a softness about his voice that almost threw me off. I see plenty of women who feel the same way that you do. Usually, though, by the time they come to me, its been after several failed pregnancy attempts, so they want to address the problem medically. So, youre telling me that you havent had any previous pregnancies?

He picked up my flimsy file folder from the counter and started writing in it.

I would have to have had sex for that, I thought. But, I wouldnt dare share that embarrassing tidbit with this surprisingly handsome and charming doctor.

I usually like to ask women who come in with your story this question, so I hope that you dont take it the wrong way. What makes you so sure that having a baby on your own is whats best?

There it was: the million dollar question. I gave him the answer that Id rehearsed and given to others many times before.

I have a very vibrant and thriving career as a lawyer, so I know that, financially, I am in an incredible position to take care of a baby. The catch 22, though, is that, because I work so much, I simply havent found much time to date. So, instead of waiting on Mr. Right, this imaginary guy who may never show up, Id rather take advantage of what I do have: a ticking biological clock. I say ticking because as far as I know (and according to all of the tests that I have taken), I still have a chance at having a baby. So, basically, all thats missing is the guy and from what I understand, your fine establishment has a bank full of what Im missing. Is that right?

Dr. Roberts smiled sweetly, putting his large, but gentle hand on my shoulder.

That is right. We can definitely help you. Now, have you raised children before is the next question?

No, I said, slowly shaking my head. But, I know that I will be a great mom. I just know it. I just havent found anyone that I want to be with.

Well, if you lean back and open up again, I can do my part in making part of your dreams come true. He held something that looked like a turkey baster filled with white liquid. Sperm.

I leaned back and closed my eyes, feeling the creamy sperm ooze deep inside of me.

I looked down at Dr. Roberts, focusing between my legs and I couldnt help but notice how attractive he was. His dark, curly hair covered his head like a mop. The masculine scent of his cologne permeated the room and added to his appeal.

Stop it, I told myself. The last thing that I need is a schoolgirl crush complicating what is supposed to be a simple procedure at the doctor.

But, the more that I told myself not to be drawn to him, the more I found it harder not to be.
