Here, let’s see if the broth is cool enough for you.”<br/><br/><em>"Rum is a liquid"</em>I tease Chloe....<em>"how about a pina colada and jello??  Spice up the meal?" </em><br/><br/>Chloe smiles and opts for the more nutritious and 'better for me' lunch.  Crazy rum drinks will have to wait for another day.<br/><br/>After lunch its time for my 'roadwork'.  Two nurses help me to stand and I listen as they teach me how to use my arms to sit up, swing to a sitting position and get my legs over the side of the bed.  I listen....and learn.  Despite my teasing about not being allowed to do anything, I dont want to go through surgery again....who knows, I never asked, but maybe this is 'one time only' event.<br/><br/>**************<br/>A full week passes and Im making progress!  My nurses are pleased with my mobility, my appetite is returning and Im healing up quickly....and properly!  I even get to eat in the cafeteria!  It seems like its miles away sometimes, but I look forward to the challenge of getting up, freshening my face, brushing my hair and being presentable.  It all makes me feel better.<br/><br/>One rather embarrassing hurdle to overcome was to learn to pee.  Obviously that area has undergone a major renovation, as I tell Chloe.  The nurses are sympathetic and patient.  It doesnt take too long to take back charge of the muscles and things necessary to perform this function.   I never thought it would happen.  Pee like a girl.   Its wonderful!<br/><br/>We move finally to 'conception'.  My sperm is taken from the freezer and introduced to the eggs from Chloe.  I am overwhelmed to think the our girls, will be real sisters.  My sperm and Chloe's eggs making up their genes.  The difference this time is that I will be pregnant with a baby as well.  Me....a mom....a real mom....its beyond anything I could have imagined!<br/><br/>The eggs are successfully fertilized!!  We did it!!  Our daughter is growing.  Implantation in me is next!  I cant wait.<br/><br/>Chloe, Isis, and I watch in Insight.....its a mesmerizing event!<br/><br/>Something shimmers in Insight....but for a second and its gone.....I must ask Chloe if she felt it too?  Or was it just me sensing danger in the perimeters??<br/><br/>Now the waiting game begins for all of us.  It may take up to a month for the cells to be large enough to place in me.  Until then, we wait....we watch our baby grow....and wait for the day she enters my womb.  I recall the words of the Goddess to me.  'I will be both father and mother' to this baby.  It has never happened....the world has never been like this.  Our baby, from me, is destined to be special, unique, and will lead with her sister.<br/><br/>That night in bed, Chloe and I holding each other, she tells me of her upcoming itinerary.  Im sad, that we will be apart, but part of our lives is duty now.  I would not say a single syllable that would hold her back.  We will be connected in Insight....just, momentarily, apart in the physical world.<br/><br/>“I’m leaving again tomorrow Kimmie. 10 days this time. You recover more. Isis is ready to get to know her sister and we will have a whole bunch of together time after this trip.”<br/><br/>I give her a hug and a gentle kiss.....<br/><br/><em>"I cant wait for that, my love...."</em>
