"Belle..." you were going to go with her last name but she never mentioned it to you and you couldn't recall it from any of her paper work, so chose to just soothingly say her first. This did cause her to stop briefly and look at you. "First of all we need to now talk about what to do going from here-"

"Yes yes it'll cost loads and involves plenty of sperm donors and ivf. I'm sure this is great news for you!"

"Belle. I can assure you I'm not the sort of man that would take such pleasure from someone's personal misfortune" Well you liked to think you weren't and it seemed like a good thing to say, "There is, however, another option you're forgetting." you raise a hand to stop her interrupting you once more but you clearly have her interest. "There's obviously the much cheaper and more natural method..." you decide to continue to stoke her interest with a suitably pregnant pause. She's now looking firmly at you with curiosity and hope but also a strong dose of skepticism. "Natural Insemination."

She gasps and goes to speak, but before she can say anything you continue: "As you say the other steps are grossly expensive. We're talking putting back your plans for a house years behind, potentially longer. This could save you all that money and also be a lot more reliable process. As well as distinctly less intrusive, medically speaking." You knew she was interested as she allowed you to speak but it was still not a done deal. "How about you go away and consider it over and you can return tomorrow morning with your decision." At this she nodded and got up from her chair. She seemed almost in shock as she drifted to the door. As she stood in the now open doorway she turned back.

"Just to be clear do you mean... Yourself or-"

"Yes." She blushed once more and sped off.
