Chapter 102

I did have enough money to find myself an apartment after all. I wouldn't say it was the best kind but I would have to do. The apartments were located just outside the city so these parts weren't as busy as you'd find the city. Though the neighborhood didn't look like the best of places to be, I thought the local people looked friendly enough.

Besides it was the only place that I could find that had at least nice hygiene standards. I didn't like trolling my pups into buildings that looked like they had multiple murder cases waiting to be solved. Mostly the part where that unsanitary man showed me an apartment and it smelled of decay. Human corpse decay. This was a safer choice.

Before finding the apartment, I had found me a lodging house that charged me fairly for a night. At the time, I didn't know that this was a special kind of lodging house. Its why I had to find an apartment just soon after the sun rose.

I was disgusted with myself that I let my pups endure the craziness that was the lodge. They could have warned me! Didn't they know that some of us had toddlers in the building.

I know I might be overreacting since they are just babies, but I liked to think that my pups had high IQs and exposing them to things before time did not rub well with me.

A whore house! I couldn't believe myself for not noticing. I mean there was always something that told about something. It should have been obvious.

I was just happy that I didn't have to stay there for another night and endure sounds of pleasure all over again.

Luckily I found an already furnished apartment but as time goes by and I am stable with a paying job, I wanted to get a better apartment and furnish it myself. I want to make it a home for me and my pups, a place where I know that I will feel comfortable because I am around my own things.

A dog passes by outside the window I am sitting at. I am in a waiting room in Dr. Gregory's private clinic. So much for calling it a clinic, this thing was an entire empire. It was a whole hospital and more. It is why they were so expensive.

I would have liked paying less for this consultation today but the place looked promising, I thought to give it a try. Hopefully by the end of this week I would have found a job.

This is the part you wish you were highly qualified for really nice jobs. But I believe that I was going to make it in some way. It is just sad that I had to do this before the pups were old enough. I look down at them in my arms, Raven was so interested in the dog passing by and Rafe was just the usual him, smiling. "But you guys are strong aren't you?" I say to them.

Raven chatters away as if we are having a concrete conversation me and her. it melts my heart all the more.

"Miss Bella Roberts?" a nurse calls. My eyes brimming with tears, I quickly put the pups in their carrier I got for them earlier and carried them along to meet the doctor. If that nurse hadn't called my name on time, I would have burst in that waiting room weeping over loving my pups too much. That would have been an embarrassing situation.

That was also part of the reason I am visiting the doctor today. I wasn't feeling well, my emotions were all over the place and I was just a mess. Talk about the appetite loss and the heavy feeling I get sometimes. I was tired most of the time and weak.

I step into the very impressive office that was on the ground floor. Doctor Gregory's office. The owner of this huge establishment. He must be a proud man having to have a huge facility like this one. He must have an expansive staff to take care of a place like this. He should have many doctors too, I overheard some women in the waiting room saying he has the best doctors in the state. If I was him, I wouldn't have bothered working.

Inside the consulting room, there were all sorts of anatomy picture hanging on the wall and models placed randomly about the room and a bed by the far corner. The room was big enough to not make it seem cluttered. It was, as I said, impressive.

Behind the desk near the bed, was a man. A huge man with lots of white hair. You could see that the man was advanced in age, but he looked like he couldn't be a day over 40. He looks up and I notice his eyes, they were arresting and knowing. "Come in please" he speaks in a deep baritone voice.

I didn't notice that I just stood there at the door until he mentioned it. Clearing my throat I excuse myself and get in. I find myself a seat and lay the carrier with my pups beside me.

"Such lovely babies you have ma'am" the doctor says smiling at me. He has this warmness around him that just wants to make you feel comfortable around him.

"Thank you" I say in the most littlest voice I could master but he doesn't seem to mind. "So," he speaks up again, "To what do I owe this visit?" he asks, getting straight to the point.

I didn't expect him to get to the point just like that, but then again I should have expected it. It was just that he made the space feel homey. "I haven't been feeling well" I say a little bit stronger this time.

He chuckles in the most deepest voice I've heard and the sound was just entrapping. "I think that is already established Miss Roberts."
