Things had been hectic and now he finally got a moment to make the call. The phone rang while Plissken waited impatiently.

Thank you for calling…..

Plissken rolled his eye. The automated menus always drove him insane. He didn’t have the patience for them at all. Still he dutifully punched up numbers in the long list of choices. Snake thought an hour had passed before he was lighting a cigarette and once more waiting for the ringing phone.

“Hello, Dr. O’Connell. What can I do for you?”

Snake immediately recognized the voice on the other end. Puffing out a billow of smoke Snake answered.

“It’s Snake.”

“How are you doing? Have you talked to the misseses?”

Snake sighed taking another puff as he watched Bria take Mason in to nap. “Could be better but not too bad.” Snake paused for a bit before continuing. “We decided to give it a try.”

“Good to hear. Did you talk about when you would want to start?”

“Figuring on working it so the twins are a year or more before the next is born.” Snake focused on Bria picking up the toys. She really shouldn’t be bending over in that skirt.

“That is a wise choice. We should start tracking her ovulations now. Do you want to come by and pick up the unit or should I mail it to you?”

Snake didn’t hear what the doctor was saying. His mind was on sex and making babies. That was where his thoughts went when he called the clinic.

“Snake?”

He still didn’t hear anything while he tried to decide if she had a tiny thong on under that skirt or nothing at all. It was enough to get him started.

“Plissken?”

“Huh?” Snake was brought back to reality for just a moment.

“Did you hear me?”

“No.” Plissken tilted his head to admire the curves of her legs. “What’d you ask?”

“You seem distracted. Is everything alright?”

“Absolutely wonderful.” Snake smashed out his cigarette as he watched Bria pile the things in the toy box.

“Do you want the kit mailed?”

“Yes.” Snake answered but only half heard.

“I’ll send it out in the morning.”

“Sounds good.” Plissken’s voice trailed off when she bent a little farther and the skirt slid up to show only bare skin underneath.

“Snake? Is there something wrong?” O’Connell was clearly worried.

“Wrong?” Snake had to think about it. “No.”

“You still sound distracted.”

Snake shifted anxiously in his chair. “I am.”

O’Connell sighed heavily. “I still want her to take pregnancy tests in the meantime.”

“Tomorrow.” Snake commented off handedly. She would need one after what he was going to do to her when this call was done.

“That’s a little early. The end of June would be fine.”

“End of June.” Snake repeated it but had no association between the words and anything else.

“What is going on there?” O’Connell had never heard Snake this disoriented and was worried about the drugs.

“I’m about to test your therapy techniques.” Snake felt like he was about to moan without being able to stop it but he could still be sarcastic.

After his comment there was a long pause on the other side before it was overtaken by laughter. Snake started paying attention once the laughter started on the other end.

“Let me guess, long legs and a short skirt.”

Snake started chuckling. “You can’t imagine.”

“No, I can’t. Listen, I’ll call you in a few days to make sure the unit has arrived and you both understand how to use it. Until then, you go and work on it the “Old fashion way”.”

“I plan on it.” Snake smiled and stood up heading for the second floor where Bria had disappeared.

“Talk to you soon.”

“Yeah. Thanks.” Plissken hung up and took the steps two at a time. He wanted a better look at that skirt.
