Chapter 1

Thomas McMillian tried very hard not to stare at the bre*sts before him. The fertility doctor leaned back in her chair with a pen in her mouth as he explained his situation. Melissa Rancic was just the right amount of nerdy that made her hot. She had her glasses in a pocket protector sticking out of her white coat.

“Believe it or not, Miss Rancic, there are many women out there who wanted to give me a child. Those who knew the child would be different. I’m not sure all men who come in here have had that option, but I’ve not been able to get any of them pregnant, which is why I think it’s me.”

She nodded and crossed her legs as she leaned forward. “Your parents, one of them was a human?”

He ignored the hem of her skirt riding up and exposing more of her thigh. “No they are both were-bears. Proud of it, too, there’s just not any of us around. I think we might be close to extinction in North America. I’m not sure, though. What’s the issue, are my boys not swimming?” He truly hated to even say those words. It certainly made him feel like less than a man that he couldn’t get a woman pregnant. If it was because he had an actual medical problem, he would have a hard time dealing with that.

“I think it’s possible that humans and members of the supernatural cannot procreate. The human body is simply not set up to house a supernatural child, so it doesn’t allow the body to become pregnant. It’s basically the same reason animals couldn’t mate with humans for offspring, the genetics are all wrong.” She stood and crossed the room.

He looked her over. She was about his age, maybe a year younger, so twenty-nine. Her body was curved in all the right places and her red hair fell in soft curves over her back. She stopped when she reached a counter and turned around to lean on it.

“So you’re basically telling me,” he said, “I have to find another were-bear, or I won’t be able to have a child?”

“Not necessarily.” She moved back across the room quickly and sat back in the chair. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Explain.”

“I’m working on an experimental process that will help women like me, human, start to produce the means necessary for carrying a paranormal child. It’s in the very early stages, and you’d have to find a woman who was willing to undergo something without knowing the exact affect it would have on her body, but I truly believe it will work. It would be huge if I could pull it off; all the medical journals in the paranormal world would publish me.”

She was no longer with him. Her eyes had glazed over and she stared off into the distance. He cleared his throat. Her eyes focused back on him again.

“So I have to find a lady willing to go through experimental treatments to figure out if her body could potentially carry a paranormal child of mine. She wouldn’t know what it was doing to her body, and she wouldn’t know if it was really going to work.”

“That’s right.” She smiled at him and re-crossed her legs.

He could tell from the way she tapped the pen on her leg she was nervous what his answer would be. “What about you?”

“Me?”

“Would you consider doing it? Would you consider going through the process of trying to change the chemistry and make up of your body to carry a paranormal baby?”

Her mouth opened and closed several times without any sound coming out. She didn’t have an answer for him.

Nodding, he started to stand but she reached out and pushed his arm.

“Wait. I’m sorry, you caught me off-guard. I would do it, I would undergo the treatment to give some parents a child to continue their line, sure. If that was their only chance to have a baby, I don’t think I’d hesitate.”

“I’m going to have to think about it.”

Her face fell, but she nodded. “I understand. We can talk in a few days and I’ll see what you’ve decided.”

“You come highly recommended in New York, although I suspect it’s because you’re the only doctor in the city who knows of the paranormal world. How is it that you came to be that one doctor?”

“I suppose if you’re going to trust me, then we should have some sort of open communication between us. I discovered your world by accident.” She’d moved over to the couch that lined up against the far wall of her office.

He assumed the story would be long since she was getting comfortable.

“I was a younger doctor then working emergencies. It had been one of those days where I worked back-to-back twelve hour shifts and the morning had finally come. Driving home, I went through the back side of town and came upon a wreck. There was a lady half hanging out of a van. Someone had hit her and ran, her husband was in the street and waved me down. I told them to calm down, I was a doctor and I could help. He asked if I had worked with shifters before and I had no idea what that meant. At that moment, she screamed in pain so I let it go and rushed to her. Her bottom half was shifted only. The pain she was in had caused her to lose her ability to control it. I was shocked, but she was hurt badly and I had to stop the bleeding.”

“I don’t understand. Was the van hit only on the driver’s side?”

“No, she was in deer form when she was hit. He had moved her from the road and into his van having missed her being home at the right time. He’d had to move her out of the road, but it was hard to help her because the wounds were pretty severe. I had to force her to turn all the way human which was difficult for her, but she did it. Of course after that, I couldn’t practice regular medicine. I quit my job at the hospital and opened a fertility clinic.” She smiled and fiddled with the end of her skirt.

“You didn’t freak out? Your whole life you’d believed one thing and then something else happened and you didn’t freak out?”

“Well, I left out the part about the month long drinking and pill stupor I went on. Of course I freaked out, and I ended up in a facility.” She whispered the word facility. He watched her eyes lower to the floor. It wasn’t that he blamed her for freaking out. Had he not been born a were-bear, he doubted he would have believed it either.

“You wouldn’t be human if it didn’t affect you at all.” He was starting to like Melissa. He’d called her Miss Rancic because that was how she introduced herself, but in his mind he was thinking of her first name. It was more innocent. He noted it was strange for him to like someone right away. He usually took a while to warm up to anyone female or male. She was just easy to talk to.

“Okay, so we need to do some general questions and figure out the science of it all.”

“How many women have you tried to impregnate?”
