Tombstone Estate

[Doc Holliday]

Picture perfect weather graced Tombstone and a good portion of the western continent. The suns burned brightly but the temperatur was a comfortable 23 degrees centigrade (75F) with no humidity and a steady breeze passing through the estate windows.

"Thank you, so much, for your hard work," Doc said as he shook the hand of the head builder whos crew had finished the repairs around the estate. He then made a credit transfer in front of him, "Here's what we agreed upon plus some extra for your hard work.

"Doc, it's been an honor to work for you," he answered, "I do hope that I get to do so again in the future."
With that, the man gathered his crew, got into a hovercraft and left the Estate grounds. After a brief look at the finished siding, Doc headed inside. There he found Midori, in a loose robe, making a cup of tea.
She gently smiled and softly said, [i]"Gu-tenmorugen."
"I was wondering if you were ever going to wake-up today," he commented with a smile. He then got more serious, "How are you feeling, Dahlin'?"
"My head feel fine," she answered. Doc then went behind her and examined the back of her head, parting her long hair with his fingers.
"Yes, the bump is gone..." he began.
"Ouch!" she interrupted, "but it still tender to touch."
"Mm," Doc groaned in agreement, "you got hit pretty hard so it may be another day or two. Still feel nauseous?"
"Only a little," she answered, taking a sip of her freshly brewed tea.

As she drank, Doc took a bio-scanner from a nearby counter that he had left the day before. He gave a scan behind her head.
"Interesting," he said as he withheld a smile.
"What interesting?" she asked him concerned.
He then made a scan down the front of her and then back up and began looking at it. Midori watched as he reviewed the pictures.
"I never see this before," she said, "please explain."
"Well, I did a bio scan of you," he explained, pointing out things as he mentioned them, "quite detailed pictures as you can see. It shows a video scan of your lungs as they breath, your heart as it beats, your blood as it flows, two babies growing in your womb, your stomach processing your tea and breakfast....."

"Say that again!" she demanded.

"Your stomach processing your tea..." he began to repeat.
"No, before that," she again demanded.
"Um, your blood as it flows..." he asked, a smile beginning to form.
"John Henry Holliday! You stop this instant," she again demanded, "please, say it again."
He did so softly, "Two babies growing in your womb." He then showed the video. Tears began to roll down her cheeks as she watched, tears of joy. He watched with pride as he let her hold the scanner just at her navel, watching a live feed. She then turned it off, placing it on the nearby counter and without another word, embraced her husband to which he returned.
