Checking with Kelly. She's still pregnant.

"Still positive," Kelly tells you. "Still pregnant."

You frown. "Did you test before we started helping with Dr. Cutler's project? Could it have been before then?"

"No," Kelly says. She frowns. She pouts. Then she tilts her head forward. She looks like she might cry. "Fuck."

You clear your throat. "Did you think of someone else it could be? Not one of Dr. Cutler's donors?"

"Before I even got here," Kelly says. "You'd think I would have noticed. But my cycle, you know, it's not that regular. So maybe? I guess I need to find out how far it is along. It could still be Ken, you know. Dr. Cutler sucked his seed out of me, and maybe she bumped the cervical cap and boom."

You think of asking So what about your best friend Jennifer? but Kelly already told you she didn't want to tell Jen. You can't think of the right words to ask Kelly.

"Have you talked with Dr. Cutler?"

"I guess I gotta," Kelly says. "The prescription didn't work, I guess."

She looks like she's going to cry again. You reach out a hand and she takes it, grips it with hers, holds tight.

"Do you need any help talking with Dr. C?"

Kelly sighs.

"Nurse Bates would help, if you aren't sure about Dr. Cutler," you say.

Kelly takes a deep breath. "I'll let you know. You know, you're really solid, Anna," she says. She rolls her shoulders and gives your hand a more gentle squeeze. After that, Kelly is back to her usual sunny smile.

You feel a little tension in your forehead and a twitch behind the bridge of your nose.

"Anna? Why are you crying?" Kelly asks.

"I'm not used to having people say nice things about what I do. About things I tell them."

Kelly pulls you into a hug. "You are a smart, kind person, Anna, and you deserve to hear nice things."

The tears are dripping off your chin now. But they slow and stop.

You raise your head. "A kind person?"

"Yup," Kelly says. She lets go the hug and meets your gaze.

"Okay."

Kelly cups her hands over your shoulders and gives you a squeeze as she nods to affirm your reply.

Kelly says, "Anyway, I'm going to talk with Dr. Cutler if I can get ahold of her, and if I have any trouble, I'll talk with Nurse Bates. Thank you for asking."

"Dr. Cutler wasn't going to. No one else knows. So I had to be the one."

Kelly laughs and shakes her head. "I guess so. And you did. So how did your investigation thing go?"

"I helped run it." Your eyes widen as the feeling of surprise comes back. "I went for coffee with Lydia and the facilitator afterward. She gave me her card and invited me to talk again."

"The facilitator?" Kelly asks.

You show her card. MARGARETHA LEHRER, Professional Facilitator, followed by her agency name and contact information and her specialties.

"Call me Greta, she said."

"Was she cute?" Kelly asks.

"I don't know. Nice?"

"Do you think she was hitting on you?" Kelly asks.

"I don't know when women are hitting on me. Unless they ask me to dance. Or 'can I kiss you?' They just have to be very direct. Men, I can tell."

Kelly sighs. "Yeah, me neither. Jen says I missed at least three dates that she knows about because I have no gaydar. So did Greta mean talk like on the phone? Or here at the hospital?"

"Lunch or coffee or at her office."

Kelly shrugs. "I dunno then. If she is hitting on you, you gonna go for it?"

Your face flushes hot.

"Yes."

Kelly says, "Maybe Dot can tell you what to do. Or Jen? I mean, all the stuff I know is, you know, playing with my hair, or rubbing a finger over my lower lip, or, I don't know, telling her you like her manicure or her haircut."

You smile. "Thanks."

You have 2 XP, +1 Hard, -1 Hot, -1 Cool, +2 Control), and know the Character Moves Ass-Licking and Masturbate.

Roll +COOL(-1) to STALK Greta Lehrer, the facilitator, after the incident review: 10 - 1 = 9. You meet her in a public place or there's trouble in your way.

Greta is a brunette in her mid-thirties, a little below medium height, with broad shoulders and a build somewhere between soft and square. She dresses in an understated classic style, somewhere between college professor and lawyer, favoring wool and silk.

Where do you meet Greta Lehrer?
