"The doctor said to remind you that the fourth time is very dangerous," the nurse said. "You'll have five years and six months without it. But possibly only six months if it should be successful."
"Better take the first offer, Leah," said Mike.
Leah smiled. "I found a gray hair and a wrinkle this morning, love. Better six months of youth than a thousand years of old age."
She went into his arms. "Don't worry about what happens, love. You'll have a lot of fun in the next seventy years."
He kissed her and held her closely.
"I've got to go now," she said. "I'm so grateful you were able to get the forged birth certificate."
Her high heels tapped rapidly on the tile floor as she walked down the long room with the other nurse.
"Good luck, Mother," he called after her.
