				"The quantity of the active isotope should be less than 40.6% the proportion of the protein compound, which is made up of..."&nbsp; Brian Daniels groaned lightly as he removed his glasses, closing his eyes and rubbing his temples as he looked away from his computer display.&nbsp; He had been going over his research notes for what felt like days, and even though he felt like he was missing something from his formula, exactly what it was that needed fixing remained... elusive.&nbsp; It was incredibly frustrating, and of course, matters were made worse by the fact that his deadline for a prototype was less than a week away.&nbsp; The damn military always had a "Hurry up, get it done yesterday!" mentality that often clashed with scientific methods.&nbsp; Oh well, at least he was getting paid for all of this.<br><br>Sighing and looking over at the nearby blackboard, Brian stood up and walked over, scanning the surface as he scrubbed the fingers of one hand through his dark-brown head of hair.&nbsp; The young researcher had been hailed as a paragon of his field, hired by Global Solutions Inc. straight out of college, which was nearly unheard of in his line of work.&nbsp; Standing at a little bit under 6 feet tall, Brian cut a surprisingly handsome profile for a man which many might call a bookworm, or a desk jockey.&nbsp; He prided himself on keeping in shape in spite of his career choice, as he always started his mornings with a 30-minute swim at the local community center before heading in to work.&nbsp; Now, as he examined his notations, the young man was completely absorbed in his work.&nbsp; "Come on, there's got to be something you're not seeing... something that will make the computer projections work!"<br><br>Glancing to the wall clock, he smiled to himself as he noticed the time.&nbsp; "Almost 2 o'clock... Megan will be here soon."&nbsp; His research assistant always brightened his afternoons, and he found himself looking forward to her arrival after she was done with her classes for the day.&nbsp; In addition to the fact that she was just about the sweetest girl he knew, she was intelligent beyond her years, and in spite of being reluctant to take her on at first, once he'd gotten to know her, Brian had been very grateful to have a second pair of capable hands around the lab.

				Megan (http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo351/PikaPow3/Pregnant%20Anime/47e2c553e967ea92bf19f49baa7ced30ad3.png) walked down a long, wet sidewalk, her high heels clopping loudly past the noise of the rain. For a lot of people, rain was depressing and cold, but for Megan, it actually gave her a sense of comfort and security. Ever since she was young, Megan always used to sit near the window, smirking at the rain. <em>You can't get me!</em> She would think, being protected from the safety of her house. But lately, even though she still enjoys the rain like she always had, it began to worry her. Now days, perverts and profiles have become large in number, and kidnappings and abductions have become more frequent. Now Megan was an attractive girl, no doubt about it, and any man would love to have her in bed, rape or no rape. But she had one line of defence from these perverts. She was pregnant.<br><br>Megan was at that point in her pregnancy where her belly is noticeably swollen, but no where near her due date. Her big belly gave her something like a big bubble, where no one else could touch her. Ever since she started to swell, people stopped "accidentally" brushed her on the bus when it turned, and stopped making remarks about her body. It was a good feeling to be left alone from men. Megan would have no complaints going through life as a pregnant woman.<br><br>Megan looked up into the sky. The sky was dark and gloomy, and the horizon was covered completely in clouds. It looked like they were going to have rain for the next few days. Megan sighed. She enjoyed the rain, but she had no car and had to walk from her collage campus all the way to her job. It was a half an hour by foot, which was not good for her feet in more ways than one. Her large belly didn't help her case, either. "Good exercise," her mother said. Megan would love to see her walk who knows how long in the rain while pregnant.<br><br>Suddenly, Megan heard a small whimper behind her. She turned her head to where the whimper was coming from. There, a few yards away, was a small, golden lab puppy, sitting under a tree. The poor thing was wet and cold, and the tree was not protecting it from the rain. Megan gasped slightly, and ran over to the puppy. As she approached, the puppy stepped back, obviously afraid of the stranger. Megan stopped when she saw the dog retreat. She crouched down as best she could, and took out a piece of candy from her pocket. She unwrapped it, put the wrapper in her pocket, and held out the treat for the puppy.<br><br>"Here boy! You want the treat?" Megan called softly and quietly to the puppy. The puppy tilted his head, curious about the candy. He slowly walked towards Megan, keeping his eyes on the treat. Megan noticed that the puppy was limping, and was fairly skinny. A sudden depressed feeling hit her. The poor dog was abandoned, and hadn't eaten in days. It had those sad little eyes that could melt anyones heart. It was obvious that the puppy wasn't going to last much longer.<br>The puppy reached the treat. It sniffed it, timid at first, but then gobbled it up. Megan smiled.<br>"That's a good boy!" she said. Megan reached forward, and petted it's small head. The dog did not move. Megan then put down her umbrella, risking her hair and brown trench coat, and reached to the puppy with her other hand. She managed to pick the skinny puppy up in her arms. The dig was light, and now in her arms, shivering beyond belief. Megan gasped again at the poor puppy.<br>"You're freezing, you poor thing!" Megan said. She put the puppy under one arm, and picked up the umbrella. "Don't you worry. I got a place that will fix you up!"<br><br>After five minutes of walking, Megan reached her destination. It was the laboratory that she worked at, used for military research. She was an assistant to the scientist that worked there. Megan lowered her umbrella and pushed the door open with her shoulder. After she was inside, Megan put the puppy down and put her umbrella on the coat wrack. <br>"Brian?" she called, now taking off her brown coat. She used to call her boss by his last name, but after a few months of working for him he insisted on calling him Brian. It sounded strange to her, but of course, the two were already good friends.<br><br>Megan hung her coat on the wrack, and picked up the puppy. She waited at the entrance, since pets were not allowed in the building.

				Brian looked up as he heard Megan calling him from the front entrance, surprised that she was using the intercom system.&nbsp; While it was a bit strange that she wasn't just letting herself in, as was her usual routine, he guessed that there must be some reason for it.&nbsp; Setting the piece of chalk down for the moment, Brian stopped only to be sure he had grabbed his I.D. card before moving quickly to the main door.&nbsp; He stopped for a moment to respond at his own speaker, his tone of voice betraying his amusement at the unusual circumstances, jokingly scolding as he spoke.&nbsp; "Look who decided to show up on this fine afternoon... I'll be there in just a second, Megan!"<br><br>With that, Brian stepped into the main airlock, sighing and crossing his arms as the air cycled through, the usual routine for making sure that the lab was kept secure at all times.&nbsp; Even though they were not working with biological agents in this section of the building, there were other departments that were, and it would not be a good thing in any case if something escaped and got out into the general population.&nbsp; The process took about a minute before the clear glass door slid open and Brian was able to move out into the building's lobby.&nbsp; Finally coming into view of the entrance, Brian smiled and waved lightly as he caught sight of Megan standing outside.&nbsp; <br><br>With one last swipe of his I.D., the door unlocked and he stepped out to join her.&nbsp; He was just about to playfully chastise her about forgetting her card at home again when he spotted the small, furry ball that was tucked in against her chest.&nbsp; Smiling a bit, he shook his head as he reached to rub the small dog's ears.&nbsp; Even when she's well on her way to being a real mother, Megan still found time to stop and help.&nbsp; It was one of her most redeeming qualities, actually, and one of the reasons that Brian had become quite fond of her.&nbsp; <br><br>"Well, what's all this about?&nbsp; Don't tell me this little guy was alone out in this weather?"&nbsp; Glancing out the outside doors, Brian frowned as the rain picked up intensity, now coming down in sheets whereas it had been merely a normal rain for most of the afternoon.&nbsp; "He looks like he's seen a rough time of it."

				Megan smiled when she saw Brain walk through the door. She jiggled the puppy a little, in which the puppy whined in return. Megan couldn't help but smile every time she sees Brian. He wasn't like the other guys in town, who think that they can impress a woman with big muscles and touching girls without their permission. Brian was something difderent. He was nice, smart, and handsome, something you don't see that often anymore. Every so often Megan would forget her ID card or break another small rule by accident, but Brian never seemed to mind much. Sure, he sometimes gets cranky and annoyed when something doesn't match in his reaserch, but who wouldn't?<br><br>Megan jiggled the puppy again as Brian scratched his ears.<br>"Yeah, I found the poor thing taking shelter under a tree. He was giving me those sad, begging little eyes that no one could resist!" The puppy was still shivering, and Megan pressed him against her breasts tighter. "He is cold, tired, and hungry. And he has no collar! Can you believe it? I know pets arn't allowed in the lab but..." Megan held the puppy up to her face, and faced him towards Brain. "He needs our help! Can he stay here until he gets better? Can you do it for me?" The puppy whined, and Megan gave Brian the puppy eyes.

				Brian couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to Megan's explanation, his eyes on the puppy as she related how she had found him.&nbsp; Indeed, the animal looked as if he wouldn't survive another night out on his own, and to make matters worse, it looked as if he might be getting the beginnings of hypothermia.&nbsp; Brian was sure that Megan's embrace helped, though, as the puppy's shaking decreased dramatically when she tucked it in against her chest.&nbsp; Megan had always struck him as a very kind-hearted young lady, and this fit perfectly with her personality.&nbsp; Besides, it was just cute that she had seemingly adopted the little animal without any concern for her own well-being. Without hesitation, Brian nodded, leaning in to look the puppy square in the eyes.<br><br>"Forget the rules when it comes to this.&nbsp; He needs somewhere to stay, and I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to him."&nbsp; Smiling, Brian lightly rubbed his fingers under the puppy's chin, sizing the young dog up as he did so.&nbsp; "What do you think, hmmm?&nbsp; Could you stand having Megan here as your adoptive mom?"&nbsp; The puppy squirmed and made a little sound in response, pressing in as close to Megan's body as he could, his tail lightly wagging against her arm.&nbsp; Brian grinned as he straightened up to look at Megan once again.&nbsp; "I guess that settles it, then.&nbsp; Come on, let's get you both in the building before either of you get too cold.&nbsp; It's no good for you to be out in the elements either, Megan, especially when you've got a baby on the way."<br><br>Turning to the door, Brian swiped his I.D. card, then held open the door for his assistant before leading the way into the secure sector in which they worked.&nbsp; "I'm sure I'll sound like your mother here, but you shouldn't be out walking in the rain and cold so much, Megan... it might not be the best for your baby."

				Megan's face brightened when Brain said that he could stay. "Oh, thank you Brian! You don't know how much this means to me!" Megan said happily. Ever since she was a little kid, Megan had a soft spot for animals, expecially young ones. Her kind and motherly nature had always gotten the best of her whenever she saw an abandoned dog or injured cat. Almost every week, Megan had brought home an animal, and asked her mother sweetly if they could keep it. Megan giggled at those memories. Those were good times.<br><br>Megan followed Brian into the lab, She rolled her eyes when Brian mentioned her baby.<br>"Your acting more like an overprotective husband to me!" she said, half joking. "My mother could really care less on what happens to my baby!" The reason for that was simple: the baby was a bastard. Even though most of her family were against reproduction before marrige, Megan didn't mind that she was a single parent, and loved her baby no less; bastard or not.<br><br>"Oh, and speaking of the baby, I went for a checkup today." Megan said. She put the puppy down, and leaned on a white counter. She had a big smile on her face. "They did an ultrasound, and they identified the gender of the baby! Can you guess what it is?" she put a hand on her belly, and looked down.

				Brian smiled, looking down at Megan as they walked together into the lab.&nbsp; It was easy to make her happy, it seemed.&nbsp; Not that it was a bad thing, of course.&nbsp; Megan was one of the reasons Brian was able to put up with the obnoxious and often high-strung coworkers he had here.&nbsp; She was young and innocent, which made for a pleasant companion and partner, not to mention that she was quite pretty.&nbsp; Mentally shaking himself at that thought, Brian silently chastised himself for thinking in such a way about the young lab assistant.<br><br>As they stepped into the lab, Brian's expression darkened at the mention of Megan's mother.&nbsp; He had met the woman, unfortunately.&nbsp; She had burst into the lab a couple months ago, demanding to know if he was the father of the child that Megan was carrying.&nbsp; Of course, he wasn't, but he had seen the rage in the woman's eyes as she tore into him, and he had just barely managed to calm her down without causing a very severe incident.&nbsp; "Excuse my language, Megan, but your mother is a royal bitch.&nbsp; She is heartless, with the way that she's treating you.&nbsp; I'm amazed that you can stand to stay in the same house as her."<br><br>Taking a deep breath, Brian took a moment to collect himself as he slowly unclenched his fists.&nbsp; If there was one flaw that he had to keep under control, it was his temper.&nbsp; He was fiercely protective of his friends, as well, and Megan was a special case in and of herself.&nbsp; Looking toward her as she mentioned the ultrasound, he cracked a smile and arched an eyebrow, chuckling lightly.&nbsp; "Hmm... if I had to guess, with what you've told me about how much the baby moves and kicks... I'm putting my money on a boy.&nbsp; Wasn't it last week that you told me that it felt like the baby was playing soccer with your spleen?"

				"Mmm...Maybe..." Megan said, rubbing her tummy. She looked back up at Brian, and smiled even brighter. Her eyes were fl\illed with compassion and happiness. She walked over to Brian, slowly and with her hands behind her back. She did not keep her eyes off of Brian, and looked at him through her glasses, something that she rarely does. The abandoned puppy followed her.<br><br>"Well, if you think that is the answer, do I have a suprise for you." She took out an envelope from her pocket (something she could not put down, because she had to go straight from the doctors to her classes), and opened it. Inside were ultrasond pictures. She gave one to Brian. With two fingers, she pointed to two hard to see bloches. But for a well trained scientist, there was no problem seeing what was in the picture. Megan was pointing at two fetuses.

				Taking the offered pictures, Brian examined them closely, putting on his glasses as he peered at the grainy image.&nbsp; Then, after a moment, he broke into a broad grin as he looked back at Megan.&nbsp; Without hesitation, he dropped the picture onto the desk and drew Megan into a gentle hug, laughing softly as he patted her back.&nbsp; "Twins... of course.&nbsp; I should have seen that coming, what with the fact that you've got too big of a heart for just one child.&nbsp; They're both lucky, you know, to have you for their mother."&nbsp; Unwittingly, Brian held on to Megan for just a moment longer than was strictly necessary in a typical friendship before he finally lets her go.<br><br>Moving back from her, Brian held Megan at arms length as he looked her over.&nbsp; Seemingly satisfied that she was healthy enough to be carrying two, he nodded and smiled again.&nbsp; He still felt uncomfortable about Megan being in the same house as her mother, especially now that she would be having not one, but two children.&nbsp; "You'll do just fine, I expect.&nbsp; But, you know... if you ever need help with something, if you need a place to hunker down for a night or two, that's fine with me.&nbsp; Alright?"

				Megan giggled as Brian drew her into a hug. She loved getting hugs, expecially from Brian. Even though they tryed to keep their relationship perfessional at first, the two were almost immediately drawn to each other. They were good friends, and pysical contact was not uncommon. But this hug was something different. It felt like there were four people hugging instead of two, like the babies inside of her were sending their love to Brain as well. And like Brian was doing the same. It was a comfortable hug, filled with passion and love.<br><br>Megan was smiling and her cheeks were rosey when Brian held her out. She watched his eyes and head closely. He was looking up and down at her, like he was checking her out. But, Megan didn't mind, for if there was a man that was going to be perverted to her, she would like it to be Brian. and besides, he was probably looking her up and down to see if she was fit or something.<br><br>"Thank you, Brian! You don't know how much that means to me!" Megan said. She slid Brain's hands to the sides of her belly. She closed her eyes, and felt one of the babies kick at Brian's hand. "That was the one I was complaining about. That's the girl." she said. She then moved his hand further up her belly. There was another kick, but this one less powerful. "And that would be the boy! Based on thier position, the doctor said that the girl will be the older one." She opened her eyes, and giggled again.

				Brian smiled a bit shyly as Megan grasped his hands and guided them to her swollen stomach.&nbsp; His cheeks flushed red as he felt the warmth of her body underneath the thin fabric of her t-shirt.&nbsp; Smiling, he nodded as he listened to her explaining, astonished by the fact that he could indeed tell the difference between the two young lives inside Megan.&nbsp; Grinning, he patted each spot in response to the kicks, acknowledging the unborn children.&nbsp; <br><br>"Hey, you two... you're a lucky pair, so be nice to your mother while you're inside there, alright?"&nbsp; Meeting Megan's gaze, Brian felt an unfamiliar urge... a pulling to kiss her.&nbsp; He shook it off, though, and grinned as he stepped back from her.&nbsp; "That's great news, Megan.&nbsp; Really.&nbsp; I'm happy for you, though I expect that your mother will be flipping out once she hears..."&nbsp; <br><br>He sighed, patting Megan's cheek lightly before turning back to the blackboard, careful not to step on the puppy as he scampered about underneath them.&nbsp; "Now then... this formula is giving me fits.&nbsp; There's just one thing missing... if we can get that right, we'll be ready to start live subject testing."

				Megan was smiling until Brain mentioned her mother. Her smile quikly faded into a slight frown. Actually, she did tell her mother, over the phone. She knew that she was going to have a bad responce to the good news, so she decided to do it over the phone. She remembered the phone call perfectly. Her mother was screaming so loud, that she had to explain herself to the doctor after the conversation was over. Her mother told her to pack her bags and leave the house after she got home from work. It wasn't that her mother was a mean person, but that she was very strict and religious. She strongly believes in sex after marrige, and so much that she ordered Megan to have an abbortion. That was the first time Megan had ever disobeyed her mother.<br>While being a part of the science world, Megan quickly discovered that fetuses were in fact living beings at the moment of conseption. It was basic biology, because a human embryo or fetus matches enough living traits to become living. But of course, Megan already knew that thanks to her big and loving heart. But in the end, it became her downfall, because now she has no where else to stay. She cannot afford a dorm at collage, nor is there any available. Her only hope is to room with someone. And her only friend close enough was...<br><br>"Brian, about my mother..." Megan began, but when she turned around she saw that Brian had already started working. Megan walked over to the blackboard, and looked over at the blakboard. She listened to Brain, and jumped when he mentioned a live test. But she didn't say anything.

				Brian's train of thought skidded to a halt as he heard Megan speak up.&nbsp; Blinking a little bit, he turned away from the blackboard, looking distinctly concerned as he folded his arms in front of him.&nbsp; He'd been scathing about Megan's mother, for sure, but he had been inwardly hoping that the woman would not be so cruel as to kick her own daughter out.<br><br>However, as he read Megan's expression, he began to suspect that his worst fears were about to be confirmed.&nbsp; Megan didn't deserve that... no one did.&nbsp; Everyone needs a place to stay, mothers-to-be the most of all.&nbsp; Furrowing his brow, Brian spoke quietly as he bent down to pick up the puppy as he rubbed up against his pant leg, rubbing the dog's ears as he spoke.&nbsp; "W-what about your mother?&nbsp; You... told her?"

				Megan looked at Brain. This was it. She had to tell him, even if it will only bring chaos to the building. He was always touchy about her mother, ever since she accused him of raping her. BUt it had to be done, for Brain was the only person who she could stay with. The only person she would perfer to stay with, for that matter.<br><br>"Well, of course I did!" Megan said, her voice filled with nervousness. "I called her. I knew she wasn't going to take the news well, so I called her over the phone..." she sighed. "And...she said that when I got home from work...I need to pack my bags and head out." Megan closed her eyes. "And she also told me that she didn't want to see me until I was married and...got rid of my kids..."

				Brian gritted his teeth to bite back a series of vicious words relating to Megan's mother, his expression showing a trace of his anger before it softened as he saw how Megan's expression fell and her eyes closed.&nbsp; He forgot the stern words, the expression of disbelief that her mother had actually gone through with it, and when he spoke, he said what Megan was probably not expecting, but hoping, to hear.<br><br>"Well... you know what?&nbsp; We can't have that... you homeless?&nbsp; Not if I have something to say about it.&nbsp; I've got space, and a spare futon that you can use.&nbsp; You can stay with me, Megan."&nbsp; Smiling warmly, Brian gently cupped Megan's chin, lifting her gaze so that she'd be looking at him.&nbsp; "So... chin up, alright?&nbsp; I won't let something happen to you..."

				Megan smiled when Brain lifted up her chin and told her that she could stay in with him. "Aww, Brain, that is so sweet! But, I really can't. I'm not sure if I will have enough money when the kids are born to et my own place, and I don't want you to take care of four other beings excluding yourself!" she scratched the puppies ears, who was in Brian's arms. Megan was very worried about her and her children's future now that they were homeless. She had little money, since most of it was going to collage, and because she needs to be with her children when they are born, may need to drop out of collage. Her situation was not looking great at the moment.

				Brian grinned at Megan, shaking his head lightly as she tried to refuse his offer.&nbsp; She really was kind-hearted, almost to a fault, and he spoke up to reassure her as he brought his hand down to rest on her shoulder.&nbsp; "Megan, listen to me.&nbsp; You are not going to be a burden to me, I want to offer you this.&nbsp; You need a place to stay, and I have space for you.&nbsp; In fact, it will be really good to have you around, the apartment can get really empty with just me."<br><br>Watching her as he could see the emotions play across Megan's face, Brian felt deeply for the young woman's situation.&nbsp; Inwardly, he swore that he'd help her however much he could.&nbsp; "You don't have to go this alone, you know.&nbsp; Come on, take me up on the offer for tonight, at least.&nbsp; I wouldn't be offering if I didn't want to help you..."&nbsp; Finally, a grin came across his face and he perked up.&nbsp; "Heck, you know what, I'll sleep on the futon, and you can have my bed... it won't do any good for you to sleep on that thing anyway.&nbsp; You need a good place to sleep."

				Megan looked down, and a flattered grin snuck its way on hee face. She brushed a strand of hair out of her eye before looking up. "Well, alright. I guess I could stay till the kids are born!" she said softly. Megan wrapped her arms around Brian, bringing the couple and the puppy into a tight imbrase. The puppy squirmed and whined uncomfortably between the two, obviously uncomfortable and scared.<br><br>Megan quickly withdrew from Brain as she felt the puppy squirm. "Oh, so sorry puppy! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable!" she said to the puppy, scratching his ears. She looked up at Brian again. "We are going to need to pick up my things from the house after work. My mother wont be home, so there will be no trouble. We can go in and out!" Megan giggled, and winked.

				Brian grinned back, clapping his hands and rubbing them together as he nodded.&nbsp; "Then it is settled.&nbsp; We'll go pick up all your things after we're done here."&nbsp; Seeing how the puppy squirmed and pushed in against Megan's chest, Brian smiled, reaching to rub his ears for a moment before turning to the blackboard again.&nbsp; "Now... I'd like to at least have a working prototype, if not a preliminary test already done, by the time we leave."<br><br>Sighing, he glanced at Megan again, a wry smile curling his lips.&nbsp; "I was hoping that maybe you'd see something that I've been missing.&nbsp; It always helps to have a second pair of eyes on a project."

				Megan shrugged. “Well, last time I was here I thought we got everything. But I guess I could take another look.” Megan looked up at the board, and read the formulas carefully. She traced over every word, every character with great concentration, and processing them through her head one at a time to see if they fit. But after she reached the end of the equation, everything seemed right! But if this didn’t work, maybe they had to…<br><br>“Maybe we didn’t MISS something; we just need to add an ingredient of our own.” Dannie suggested, grabbing her chin lightly in thought. “We could revise the equation, because if this isn’t enough, we could add something of our own and see if it works? Or…maybe there is a factor that we are ignoring. That we aren’t noticing, considering. Maybe it isn’t the equation that matters, but the host or mechanism?” Megan stared to giggle. “Look at me, rambling again! Gosh, I’m such a rambler!” Whenever Megan thought hard or tried to give suggestions, she always started to ramble. But usually when she did, she found the right answer. It was one of the main reasons why the two were so successful. Trailing off and finding the answer.<br>

				"Hmmmm..." Brian considered Megan's idea for a moment before looking at her with a wide grin.&nbsp; "I think you're on a good tangent there, Megan."&nbsp; Stepping over to his desk, he retrieved the basic list of components to be included with the formula as well as how it would be administered.&nbsp; After a minute, he let out a laugh, shaking his head slightly before he looked up at his lab assistant.&nbsp; "See, this is why I've got you around, Megan.&nbsp; You keep me grounded."<br><br>Walking back over to the chalkboard, he picked up a piece and changed one small constant.&nbsp; Then, following that through to the end, Brian was pleased to see that the total obtained fell right in the acceptable zone as predicted by his calculations.&nbsp; "It was such a simple little change... I assumed that we'd be administering the serum as a liquid, and then charging the subject with energy, and the formula didn't come out right.&nbsp; But if the serum is made into a gas and breathed in, it will work perfectly."&nbsp; Looking down as he heard the puppy whine lightly, he smiled, reaching down to pick him up and rub his ears.&nbsp; "Yes, I know, your adoptive mother is very smart indeed."

				Megan sighed, and walked over to Brian. "You think too much of me." she said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "You're too flattering for your own good. If you keep it up, I may get the idea that you LIKE me!" Megan's hand moved down Brian's back, and she winked at him. But she soon walked behind him to a table. <br><br>"But to we have the equiptment that could make a gas steriod? All of our setup and all of our plans have been revolving around the fact that we were making a liquid. Can we really make a gas even though we have come this far? It may take weeks if not months that we don't have to get the proper machinary if what we have won't suffice..."

				Brian laughed lightly, reaching to tickle Megan lightly as she passed.&nbsp; "Of course I like you, Megan.&nbsp; How could I not?"&nbsp; Her supervisor knew that Megan was very intelligent, and her humility was something that he truly respected, as all too many of his older colleagues were much too arrogant for their own good.<br><br>Stepping back to the table as Megan headed in that direction, Brian pondered for a moment before responding.&nbsp; "I think you're right, honestly... I guess a liquid will have to do, but that means we'll need to administer it via injection and pumps.&nbsp; That works for a prototype, but cost-cutting is the name of the game.&nbsp; A gas is much easier to synthesize and administer."

				"Well, shouldn't we first concentrate on actually getting the prototye to WORK, instead of worrying about the cost?" Megan asked. "If we hold back on the prototype just because it costs too much, we may never get it right!" she looked around the table, and put her hands on her hips. Megan hated to sound scolding, but that's just the way she was.

				His lips quirking into a smile, Brian nodded.&nbsp; "Of course, I'm getting ahead of myself again.&nbsp; Thank you for that.&nbsp; Well... we do have enough to do a preliminary test of the formula, I believe.&nbsp; It would have to be administered by injection, though thankfully it doesn't have to go directly into the bloodstream."<br><br>Walking over to his desk computer, Brian entered in a passcode, then a couple other commands to get the machinery going, then nodded in satisfaction as the small canister began to fill with the serum.&nbsp; "It's potent enough that it can be injected into any soft tissue and it will work.&nbsp; Now..."&nbsp; Grinning, he crossed his arms and eyed Megan.&nbsp; "Pop quiz.&nbsp; What are the effects that we hope this serum will cause?"

				Megan rolled her eyes. "Who do you think I am, a child?" she said, jokingly. "I should be asking you, since you are the one who has his neck on the line!" Megan walked over to Brian, and put her hand on his shoulder. "You tell me..." Her head lowered a little, and she looked into his eyes. "But sometimes...I have the feeling that you don't know what the devil you're doing!" Megan giggled, and winked.

				Brian play-groaned and clutched at his chest, feigning a grave injury as he spoke.&nbsp; "Oh, Megan, such unkind words!&nbsp; Like a dagger to the heart."&nbsp; Smiling, he turned serious once again as he ruffled her hair.&nbsp; "The serum is supposed to help with infertility and impotence, as well as overall physical deficiency.&nbsp; Theoretically, with a tweak, it could create supersoldiers for the army, but at this point, we're just trying to make the ideal... well... the ideal breeding specimen."<br><br>Grinning, he reached down to pat Megan's round stomach, teasing her a bit.&nbsp; "Though you're already a mother-to-be, I don't think we need to worry about you having problems with children."

				Megan giggled, and put her hands on Brain's, which was patting her belly. She wanted it to be help there for a moment. It just felt so good when people interacted with her belly. The babies liked it too, strangely.<br><br>She chuckled. "I hope you don't plan on experimentnig on ME, do you?" she joked, pushing his hand into her belly a little harder. "I don't think ANY of us would like that. I just may have to find another job then!"

				Brian smiled, feeling an all-too-familiar pang of affection for Megan, even though he knew such feelings were inappropriate.&nbsp; He was supposed to keep a professional demeanor, and developing feelings for Megan was definitely not part of that.&nbsp; Regardless, he laughed and gave her stomach a light tickle as he shook his head.<br><br>"Oh no, certainly not.&nbsp; I think we'll need to start with animal testing first, and then move to humans.&nbsp; And at that point, I wouldn't subject you to any testing, unless you volunteered, and even then, I'd say no because of the fact that you're expecting."&nbsp; Grinning at her, he stroked over a particular spot on her stomach, feeling the baby kick at his hand.&nbsp; "Wouldn't want to ruin this now, would I?"
