Cool metal grazed her stomach. She let out a silent gasp. Fingers followed the metal and then both pressed more firmly against her skin.
"Breathe," the man said.
Though everything in her was afraid, she forced herself to obey. The next few moments lasted an eternity.
"Okay. Everything looks normal." The fingers and metal - now warmed by her skin - were removed.
She glanced around as she sat up, reacquainting herself with the room. The last thing she looked at was the man. "So, doctor," she asked. "Am I with child?"
The man looked grim. "Must I remind you that as a Companion it is strongly preferred you don't have children or give birth?"
She nodded. "Of course."
The doctor sighed. "The... growth… can easily be removed this far in."
She let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. "I'm pregnant?"
He nodded. Nothing more. There was no need for more than that.
