Chapter 8 - Doctorsâ Visit
In the morning, after Jonâs exercise and breakfast were completed, Doctor Ozlem went to Jonâs pod, knowing for sure where he was. She had agreed to meet Doctor Cuadro there.
At Deck 4, East 41, North 43, Doctor Ozlem found Doctor Cuadro awaiting her at the top of the escalator to the common room of Jonâs pod.
Dr. Cuadro asked, âDid you set this up ahead of time? If so, my Parrot does not seem to know about it.â
Dr. Ozlem replied, âNo, I didnât. But Jon likes to have a cup of hot tea with some nuts after his cereal breakfast. He says that some caffeine early in the day helps to boost his mental alertness. So, I expect that heâll offer us some of his nicest tea, and we can have the talk with Jon that Ykonâs request of him, to be in the delivery room for the birth of her daughter, has caused us to desire. He wonât know a thing about my conversation with you since he doesnât have a Parrot.â
âOh!â responded Dr. Cuadro, âYou have an ulterior motive do you. Youâd like one of his special teas. Which one do you fancy?â
âIâve been wanting to try some of his Exceptional Italian Almond Tea,â replied Dr. Ozlem. âThat name seems intriguing. I know he has a limited supply, but each preparation is at least three cups of tea, so weâll just be giving him an excuse to get to drink some of his favorite. We should be just in time, before he has selected todayâs variety.â
Dr. Ozlem mounted the top step of the escalator, followed by Dr. Cuadro, and they descended.
From the podâs common room Dr. Ozlem called out, âJon, Marie you have a couple of unannounced visitors.â
Marie entered the common room, saw the two doctors and asked, âWhat a surprise. Good morning. Itâs always nice to see you, but why are you here? Has Ykon gone into labor early? I guess not since you are both here.â
âNo,â Dr. Ozlem replied. âYkon isnât in labor yet. But her request is what has brought us here. We will agree to have Jon in the delivery room, and you as well. But weâd like to be sure Jon can take the sight of blood without fainting, which is not uncommon for a man, and that anyone who is to be in the delivery room has a bit of training in what to do and what to expect.â
âOh, in that case please come into our quarters,â Marie invited. âJon has just finished his breakfast and I expect he is washing his cereal bowl and spoon.â
Entering their quarters Marie called out, âJon! Doctors Ozlem and Cuadro are here to see you.â
Jon entered with a dish towel in his hands drying a large bronze spoon. He commented, âWhat a surprise to see you. Is there some problem with Ykon?â
âWell sort of,â Dr. Ozlem replied. âShe has requested that you be at the birth of her daughter. Neither of us has an objection to that, and in fact we may well welcome your help.
