The Scientist’s Teacher part 3
The woman turned and seemed surprised for a moment but the expression went away as she saw Scott's face.
“It's okay, I'm Doctor Bella Vera. I'm....” The woman said though she was interrupted.
“Why are you in my house?!” Scott almost demanded, his fear growing since he was trying to keep his mound of a stomach hidden behind the wall.
“Please Sir, I understand that this is really new for you but you don't need to get stressed out.”
“I wouldn't be stressed if you weren't here!! What are you doing in my house!”
“IT's my fucking house!!!!! I can yell if I want, now skip the 'calm down' shit and answer me!”
“Man...you must be going through your mood swing again, you usually don't swear much.” Barry said as he set a hand on Scott's shoulder. “She's right though, you do need to relax.”
Scott pulled himself away from Barry and glared at the scientist, clearly the teacher wasn't in the mood. Couldn't blame him though, you wake up, and what do you get? Someone you don't know cooking in your house. He was more than pissed off, he was afraid. Afraid of just what this woman wanted considering she could now see some of his stomach that was barely fitting into the shirt he still had on yesterday but it did feel a bit more tight now.
“What the hell is the meaning of this?” Scott ordered. “Why is she here?!”
“Look, it was gonna happen sooner or later. She's my partner in the original experiment and she noticed I was acting odd and she..forced it out of me.” Barry answered. “I know you didn't want anyone else to learn about and I understand completely, the problem is she demanded to be in on it....”
“I knew giving you the spare key was a bad idea! Fuck, TALKING TO YOU THAT NIGHT WAS A BIG MISTAKE!”
“Just relax Scott. You're gonna give yourself a headache or hurt your little passengers.”
“What you think I'm just gonna go falling face first on the ground and squish em?!” Barry shook his head and held up his hands.
“No no! Stress isn't a good thing, so it'll effect em in some way just like the good things.”
“I hate to interrupt but I'm still here.” Dr. Bella said as she turned the stove off. “Mr. Scott, I am sorry for all of this happening to you. Truthfully we were gonna ask someone and have em do it voluntary...”
“He was pretty voluntary for a night of fun.” Barry muttered, resulting in a glare from Scott to be directed at em and Barry gave a nervous chuckle. “Course...that was no doubt the alcohol talking.”
“As I was saying, we were gonna have some volunteer for this and while this isn't the best of circumstances, we have to let the experiment run it's course now.”
Scott gave a annoyed sigh as he tried to relax, though put a hand to his stomach as he felt more pressure growing in the large mound. Who in their right minds would do something like this on their own free will?! It seemed unlikely to Scott but then again, he was just peeved right now still so he wasn't really opening his mind to the possibilities that were very real.
“Did you have to sneak in when I was asleep?” Scott asked.
“I thought it best to do my own examination and Barry only did ones where you were awake. So I wanted to see if there was any changes when you asleep.” Dr. Bella answered.
“Oh he tried before, always woke me up.” Barry sighed and Bella laughed.
“Well he doesn't have the gentle touch of a woman. Now take a seat Sir and eat some breakfast, you're gonna need it.”
“Got something planned it sounds like..”
“But of course! I want this to go smoothly but I also want the children to be alright as well as you are by the end of it. And what better thing than to figure how many little ones you've got? You're already pretty big for just being three months along, well...not pretty big, really big. And in truth, you're only going to get bigger.”
Scott moved to sit down at the table though paused as he reached the chair at her words. Really? Did she have a ultrasound machine somewhere that wasn't a lab or a hospital?
“You really mean that?” Scott asked. “The finding out how many part?”
“Yes! You have the right to know how many you've got in there.” Dr. Bella answered.
“Bella!” Barry protested as he entered the kitchen all the way. “It we take him to the lab, everyone's gonna question it! And you know the media will somehow get their hands on it.”
“Don't worry it's not the lab, I have a secret place we can go to that no one knows of but me.”
Scott and Barry looked at each confused.
