Cornesh: "Boo!! A Boo!! Yes...you cheeky little thing."

Cornesh giggled to himself, patting the little Orkhid girl gently on the nose with the tip of his finger. She was on top of a white counter her lower body wrapped in a black towel with the Red Orkhid symbol of Loyalty on, something you will hardly ever see these days.

Nurse: "Could you pass me the baby please, sir?"

The Nurse was female, her legs covered by her black trousers which seemed to clash nicely with her white lab coat. Her brown hair was tied back with a red bobble and her lips seemed to glow red against her whitey face.

Nurse: "Sir? The baby?"

She patted the Scientist on the shoulder with an extended arm, her index finger tipped with a bitten nail.

Cornesh: "Yes, yes...ok. But be gentle with her. She is special, she is clever...i've even given her a little name."

Cornesh smiled warmly as he picked up the little baby and passed her to the Nurse. The Nurse looked at him and sighed.

Nurse: "You know you arn't supposed to get too attached to them, they're experimental animals. One of three batches that actually got past the Foetus stage. This lot will be probed and prodded until the Dr's find out what made them grow with minor to no abnormalities. Well...none we can see at this early stage anyway."

She said this whilst gently putting the Orkhid child on a white baby mat. She smiled warmly at the child as it burbled and waved its hands in the air exitedly...giggling.

Nurse: "So...what you named her?"

She decided to lighten the tense atmosphere that she had created by reminding the overly-enthusiastic Scientist of the procedures the children were to go through.

Cornesh: "Aisha...pretty, no?"

Turning her head the Nurse nodded a brief second.

Nurse: "Very."

She then turned to her bag that she had recieved when she passed her nursing exam. Going through it, mumbling to herself she finally pulled out a little needle. The tip of it was razor sharp and the plunger had a round hole were you could place your thumb for maximum push.

Nurse: "Shhhhh, this will only sting a little. M'kay?"

Her attention was focused back on the baby. This time her voice was soft, trying to soothe the baby as its eyes were fixated on the needle that was slowly heading towards her arm. The pale Blue eyes of the critter seemed to get rounder in fear, switching from the needle to the Nurse and then back to the needle.

Cornesh: "Aisha...Aisha...look at me baby. Over here."

Clicking his fat little fingers the Orkhid tried to draw the childs attention away from the instrument. A strand of browny-blonde hair falted down his face, he quickly stuck it back down on his head with syliva and the palm of his hand.

Aisha: "Eep!!"

Her little voice warmed Cornesh' heart, she seemed to jump as she felt the twinge of the needle penetrate her skin and draw out a drop of blood. Her free arm tried to waft away the needle but failed.

Nurse: "All done...you were a good little girl wasn't you?"

The baby looked at her, her little face slowly crunching up. Her lower lip sticking out and her chin wobbling as she gradually started to cry.

Cornesh: "Ohhh, Aisha. Come here!!"

Picking up the little critter he hugged her, holding her close to his round body. Her arms clinging to his lab coat as her cries slowly melted down into whimpers and sniffles. The Nurse smiled and stroked the babies head.

Nurse: "She's starting to grow hair, soon we will see what she is like with a mop of hair won't we, eh?"

Her lips were close to the babies ear as she spoke softly to it. Stroking its naked back with her long, thin fingers.

Nurse: "Bless her. When she's settled down bring in the next one, k?"

Cornesh nodded and slowly moved towards the exit, bobbing the little child in a rythmic way. Encouraging her to sleep. Watching, the Nurse wished that someday she could have children. And hoped that she had a lover who was as nice and warm as Cornesh was. Shaking her head slightly, as if to disperse the thoughts, the staff member slowly poured out the DNA of the baby into a small tube. Placed it in a wooden case and closed the lid. Marking it with a permanent marker with the letters;

'DNA-CHK'

Before dabbing her eyes with a tissue and getting back to her job.
