Chapter Sixteen- Volunteers Needed

Sammy raised his brow at the sheer number of volunteers that were listed. He knew that he did want to do one or two to make sure it definitely worked, so he had to pair the list down. Two names caught his eye, Jamie Kirk and Ral Irux. Perfect, they will work out perfectly. He smirked though at the thought of Jamie Kirk. No matter what name he uses or that he was older, he knew that he was his baby brother. He laughed when he said something to Jimmy and he ended up telling him that it was an alternative version of himself from another reality. He snorted, he was outside that night when the Nexus showed up and he walked out of it. The minute he saw him he knew, same with Selek. He shook his head at the weirdness that was now his world; he figured that was all part and parcel of being a Kirk.

He sent out a note to the two that he wanted them to come in and talk about the procedure as soon as they could. He laughed, for no sooner had he sent that note out then he got two back letting him know they were on their way. Damn fools must have been sitting there watching their PADDS. He face palmed, now he was sounding like Bones. He needed a vacation and soon. He lifted his head when he heard the door to his office chime. “Come in.”

The door opened and their stood Ral and Jamie and their husbands. He could see Ral and Jamie vibrating with excitement and their husbands trying to hide their worry. Sammy snorted; yeah Vulcan’s don’t show emotion his ass.

“You wanted to see us, Doctor,” Ral said as they all entered his office.

“Yes, I did. Have a seat.” he gestured to the chairs before his desk. “I wanted to let you know that we are choosing volunteers to have the procedure done. We wanted to know if you two would consent to be the first?”

“How safe is this procedure, Doctor Kirk?” Selek asked.

“The Vulcan healers and Scientists, along with myself and Doctor Marcus have worked hard on this and it is totally safe. There is only a ninety nine point nine three three percent chance that it will be totally successful.”

“So there is only a point zero six seven percent chance of the procedure not taking?”

“Correct. What we would do is place you under a light sedation and then administer the new DNA through a hypo. It will then go in and make the adjustments to the DNA of one of your white cells, just like a virus. And like a virus, it will replicate until your DNA is modified. Your body will then create the womb along with the other necessary components.”

“How long should this take?” Jamie asked with a frown.

“The whole procedure should take twelve hours depending on how quickly it will get through your system.”

“Why are we sedated?” Ral asked Doctor Kirk.

“Because of the DNA adjustment, it forces the body to create something that was not there previously. Your organs will be moving around to make room for the womb that the body now has to create. This has the potential to be painful so we have decided to sedate the volunteers so that they will not have to suffer through possible discomfort.”

“Are we allowed to be there while our mates are going through this procedure?” Legel asked as he took Ral’s hand in his.

“Yes. We will have biobeds setup to monitor the procedure and there will be seats next to each one for the partners of the volunteer.”

“Can both partners go through the procedure?”

“Unfortunately no. When the DNA is adjusted, for some reason the partner can no longer impregnate someone else. The sperm of the volunteer now acts in place of an egg and the sperm of the one to impregnate them will then seek it out.”

“What do you mean?”

“For lack of a better word, submissive partners will still ejaculate but there is no longer any sperm in it. Sperm is an ingredient in semen. It really only accounts for five to ten percent of a man’s ejaculate. So the rest is made up of enzymes including protein and vitamin C. Due to the changes to the body, the Sperm itself gets released into the womb, just as it would with a female.”

“But we’ll still ejaculate?” Ral asked.

“Yes, we haven’t figured out completely why this happens when the sperm itself is released into the womb just like an egg would from the ovaries. Because there are multiple sperm released into the womb it creates a greater chance of conception, which is why there is a greater chance of multiple births. What is ejaculated is the semen minus the sperm,” Doctor Kirk told them.

“So will we have a time of the month like women do?” asked Jamie. He shuddered at the thought. He remembered how evil his mother was during those times.

“No, you won’t have a period as a female does, but you may experience times of heats.”

“So this is basically a dominant and submissive relationship in regards to one gets pregnant and the other not?”

“Yes, for lack of a better word, since the male will take on the female's role of birthing the offspring. Any other questions?”

“Yes, how soon can we do this?” Jamie asked leaning forward in his seat.

“We can do this now. Everything is all set and we can head out to the medical unit where the beds are setup.”

The four men stood up and waited by the door. Sammy stood up and walked over to them, “Eager, are we?”

“Very. Let's get the show on the road,” Jamie said as he bounced on the balls of his feet.

Sammy grinned and led them to the medical unit and got them settled. Once they were settled and sedated, he administered the hypos.

“That should do it. We will monitor their vitals from over in the corner. There is a replicator by the door we came in if you want anything.” He nodded and headed over to the desk where he would monitor the biobeds from and sat down.

“I hope this works,” Legel said as he ran his hand through his hair.

“Indeed,” said Selek.

“We are so excited about having our own kids. I also want this to work for your people.”

“How so?”

“The Vulcan people have suffered so much loss that it will maybe go a long way to heal the wounds left by the loss of so much life and the entire planet. I just how that we aren’t in the percentile of it not working or something bad happening.”

“It will work out. Worrying is illogical and will not change what is. Kaiidth.”

“What does that mean?”

“What is, is.”

“I suppose you’re right.”

“Just be patient. We will know when they check on them.”

“Thanks, Selek.”

“You are most welcome, Legel.”

They lapsed into silence and waited as the hours past and the DNA that was injected did its duty.
