The woman nodded. “You are welcome, Dr. Kritz. Miss, it should remain effective for about an hour.”

Cadence nodded. “Then we had better get this underway.”

Kritz extended his hand. “I am your brother-in-law.”

Cadence chuckled. “I know. I am please to meet you.”

Amber came with them, and Arcady hugged her and held on the whole way through all the security doors and to the lab.

Kritz was grinning. “She’s very happy to see you.”

“She’s seen me a lot, she just didn’t recognize me. I got all the height in my sisters.”

“I forget she used to have hair and eyes that colour.”

She smiled and looked down at the white hair. “You searched out a combination that didn’t exist in the capitol, right?”

He grinned. “You are very smart.”

“My intuition unravels things.”

Amber had an ultrasound external unit ready. Cadence scraped her sister off and handed her to Kritz, got into a medical gown, and hopped onto the table for the standard recordings of different levels, pulse, blood samples, blood pressure, as well as temperature.

The temperature set off an alarm.

Amber went, got a warming canister, and slid a narrow tube into it.

Cadence blinked. “So, like now?”

Amber nodded. “Now.”

Kritz blinked. “Record it all.”

Arcady used her tablet and set off a number of cameras.

Cadence snorted. “I would have shaved if I knew someone was going to be looking.”

The warmer started humming.

Cadence muttered, “Geez, they sound angry or hungry. I can’t tell.”

Arcady blinked. “Are you sure?”

“I am sure. This is why previous attempts failed, by the way; your egg has to move with the little angry tadpoles. It has to be a match.”

Kritz smiled but was watching the process as Amber got the instruments ready.

Amber said, “We are doing IUI. So, I am going to get this tube through your cervix and let the sample have at you. Are you good with that?”

“I am fine. It’s the least invasive option.”

Amber talked her through the process, Arcady kept the external scanner over the uterus, Cadence gasped, and the tube showed up on the scanner.

“Okay, here they go.”

The flood of semen shot out of the tube, and they moved at an astonishing pace through the uterus, moving to the left en masse.

Cadence muttered, “Holy shit, they are organized. I didn’t think they could move that fast.”
