I HELD UP MY PREGNANCY TEST, TO THE MESH PANEL, SEPARATING MY HUSBAND, GABRIEL, AND MYSELF.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YDikjIPHaBM
IT HAD A PLUS SIGN ON IT.

"WHAT'S THAT, KATIE, MY LUV?" GABRIEL ASKED ME.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/20/health/variant-b117-vaccines-work/index.html
HE PEERED AT THE TEST STRIP, INTENTLY.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/25/health/variants-coronavirus-new-york-city/index.html
"IT'S TOO SOON TO TELL," I WARNED GABRIEL, IN MY MORNING-HALF-ASLEEP VOICE, IN AN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee
"BUT, IT SAYS PREGNANT, MY BABY!!!" HE EXCLAIMED, IN EXCITEMENT.
https://www.theirishroadtrip.com/the-banshee/
"NOT REALLY," I TOLD GABRIEL.

"WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I GET TO EIGHT WEEKS, WITH A HEARTBEAT, AS MISCARRIAGES ARE SO COMMON, BEFORE THAT TIME."
https://www.baby-magazine.co.uk/birth-in-london/amp/
"ALRIGHT. OKAY. I'M READY TO GET RID OF THE TENT, KATIE, MY DARLING," GABRIEL SAID.
"I WON'T HAVE ANY TENT, NOT ANYMORE," GABRIEL DECLARED, KISSING ME.
https://www.littlelondonmagazine.co.uk/give-birth-london/
"KATIE, WE'RE IN AGREEMENT THEN, THAT I GET TO COME ALONG TO ALL MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, AND THE BIRTH NOW, RIGHT?" GABRIEL ASKED ME.
https://www.expatica.com/uk/healthcare/womens-health/having-a-baby-in-the-uk-107707/
"WELL, I SUPPOSE," I SAID, HESITANTLY.
https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/birthing-options/article/where-to-give-birth-a23Lt6u4NC9P
"HOWEVER, I THINK YOU SHOULD WAIT IN THE WAITING ROOM, AT THE PRENATAL CARE APPOINTMENTS, " I TOLD GABRIEL.
https://www.centrallondonccg.nhs.uk/your-services/giving-birth-in-north-west-london.aspx
"SOMETIMES, THE DOCTORS FINK IT'S BEST, WITH THE ... PAST, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LAST CAME ALONG, BUT, THEN, YOU BEAT UP ONE OF THE DOCTORS."
https://www.thelondonmother.net/private-maternity-hospital-care/
I CONTINUED, "IT WASN'T NECESSARY, FOR YOU TO BEAT UP A DOCTOR, IN MY CLINIC, FOR JUST REQUESTING TO SEE ME ALONE, WITHOUT YOU, YOU KNOW."
https://www.nct.org.uk/labour-birth/getting-ready-for-birth/birth-options-choosing-where-give-birth
"NOOO, YOU WILL NOT BE GOING BACK TO THOSE BUTCHERS, AT THE LAST CLINIC!!!" GABRIEL SHOUTED.
"I'M SUING THEM, FOR TRYING TO GET YOU STARTED ON UNNECESSARY C-SECTIONS!!!" GABRIEL SHOUTED.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X2bVAGMwi8M
"BUT, HOW, BECAUSE I FINK IT BEST, TO GET DOCTORS, WHO ARE MOST WILLING, MOST ABLE TO PERFORM PLANNED C-SECTIONS," I ARGUED.
"NOOO!!! I KNOW HOW TO DELIVER BABIES!!! I AM AN OB/GYN, NOT THEM!!!" GABRIEL REFUSED.
"BUT, IT IS NOT ALLOWED, OKAY, FOR YOU TO DECIDE THAT. THAT'S JUST BETWEEN ME, AND MY OWN, SELECTED DOCTORS. I HAVE TO BE READY TO GET A C-SECTION, IN CASE OF ANY COMPLICATIONS," I INFORMED GABRIEL.
"WHAT COMPLICATIONS ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT, KATIE?" GABRIEL DEMANDED.
"JUST THAT, I WANTED TO HAVE A C-SECTION, AND A TUBAL LIGATION, RIGHT AFTER ANY BIRTH," I ADMITTED.
"I MEAN, I CAN'T SEE US PREGNANT, MORE THAN ONCE," I ADDED.
"REMEMBER, THE LAST TIME, WHEN THEY MENTIONED THAT WE SHOULD BEGIN PLANNING ON GETTING A VASECTOMY, OR A TUBAL LIGATION?"
"ANYWAY, LOOK, I HAVE TO GET READY FOR WORK," I SAID, DISTRACTEDLY, AS I LAID OUT MY MEDICAL DUMMIES, ALL NAMED LUCY, MY BAGS, ON THE DESK, AND GOT THE ABORTION FILES, WITH MY LEGAL NOTES READY, FOR MY SECRETARIES, PARALEGALS, TO TYPE UP, AT THE SEALS' COMMAND.

IT LOOKED LIKE WE WERE ALWAYS RUNNING LATE, ON LABS, AT WORK, BUT SO FAR, NONE OF THE ENLISTED HAD DIED, FROM ANY ABORTIONS YET, WHICH I WAS GRATEFUL FOR, BUT CONSTANTLY OBSESSING ABOUT.
AT WORK :

"I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO GET YOU INDUCED, AT FULL-TERM," THE MEDICAL DOCTOR, CHARLES, MENTIONED TO ME, AS HE WAS ALWAYS DOING THE DUTIES OF THE NURSE-MIDWIVES, AT MY PRENATAL APPOINTMENTS NOW.
https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-england-london-51361924
CHARLES' HAND WAS ON MY PREGNANT BELLY.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/unexploded-1000-kilogram-wwii-bomb-is-detonated-in-england/amp/
WE WERE CLOSE FRIENDS, EVEN EXES, ON-AND-OFF AGAIN, FOR A WHILE, BEFORE I HAD LEFT TO GET MARRIED TO GABRIEL, MY NEW HUSBAND.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oV-KrpR7u74
WE HAD PLANNED A TRIP, TO LONDON, TOGETHER, NEXT WEEK, AS CHARLES WAS CONSTANTLY GOING THERE, SINCE THE 7/7 2005 ATTACKS, AND I HAD TO WORK THERE, AT A FEW DIFFERENT SITES.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l47V8nTxBRM
IT WOULDN'T BE SAFE, FLYING PREGNANT, ALONE INTO LONDON, WITH THE RECENT TERRORIST ATTACKS THERE.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TX39YsnagO4
THE MULTIPLE, "IRA" BOMBINGS HAD HAPPENED, A WEEK AGO, WHICH WAS WHY WE WERE ASSIGNED TO RETURN HOME, IMMEDIATELY, FOR A MONTH.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=swoAnLQ38NI
WE WOULD BE STAYING TOGETHER, AT THE BROWN'S HOTEL, MY FAVORITE PLACE IN LONDON, OUR SHARED RESIDENCE, FOR HALF OF THE YEAR, ALTHOUGH WE ALWAYS HAD SEPARATE BEDROOMS :
WE NEVER HAD SEX, JUST A VERY CLOSE FRIENDSHIP, IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, ALTHOUGH, WE HAD BEEN ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED, BEFORE THAT.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FUsYRcaBNDM
WE OFTEN WENT TO THE SAME PLACES, TOGETHER, WERE ATTACHED AT THE HIPS, AND OFTEN READ EACH OTHER'S MINDS.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WeUY2TAU24E
CHARLES FREQUENTLY WONDERED HOW IT WAS, THAT I COULD FINISH HIS SENTENCES.
https://www.yourirish.com/folklore/banshees-in-ireland?amp
OFTEN, WE WENT TOGETHER, EXCEPT FOR WHEN I WAS SETTING UP THE WEAPONRY SAFEHOUSES, DRONES, SATELLITES, AND SNIPER ROBOTS.
https://www.gods-and-monsters.com/banshee-mythology.html
THERE WERE CERTAIN PARTS OF MY WORK, WHERE I DEFINITELY HAD TO WORK ALONE, WITHOUT CHARLES, BUT, HE SEEMED COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, NEVER ACTING LIKE MY HUSBAND, GABRIEL.
https://www.irishpost.com/life-style/exploring-irish-mythology-banshee-170287
WE BOTH WERE OFTEN AT HIS RESIDENCE, IN HONG KONG, FOR VACATIONS :

************************
1. GET NAMES, FOR EACH CHARACTER, SO FAR, WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH OF THEM.
2. SET UP A NEW WEAPONRY SHOPPING LIST FOR THE FEMALE CHARACTER, AS SHE GOES TO PURCHASE NEW WEAPONS, LARGE, MEDIUM, AND SMALL ONES, IN LONDON METRO, WITH HER BEST FRIEND.
3. PARANORMAL LONDON PLOT :
HAVE A DESCENDANT TO THE SEER, ALICIA, FROM THE PREDICTED ASSASSINATION OF KING JAMES I OF SCOTLAND, IN YEAR 1437, VISIT THE MARRIED COUPLE IN LONDON, UK, WHEN THE HEROINE'S NEW HUSBAND SHOWS UP, UNANNOUNCED, AT BROWN'S HOTEL.
THE SEER'S DESCENDANT, ALICIA, VISITS THEM AGAIN, IN CALIFORNIA :
https://www.claddaghdesign.com/history/irelands-best-known-spirit-the-banshee/
4. WE HAVE TO PLAN THE BABY'S BIRTH, IN LONDON, NAMED DOMINIC.
THE MAIN CHARACTER WILL STAY THERE, FOR HER ENTIRE PREGNANCY, FOR BETTER MEDICAL CARE, THAN IN CALIFORNIA.
HER HUSBAND, A CONSERVATIVE OB/GYN, WILL VISIT HER, BUT NOT BE THERE, AS HE HAS TO RETURN TO CALIFORNIA, BY HIMSELF, FREQUENTLY, FOR HIS WORK.
HIS WIFE DOES NOT WORK WITH HIM.
SHE IS ALWAYS WORKING WITH ABORTIONISTS, SO IS MORE LIBERAL THAN HIM.
