As they sat in Doctor Mezzner office, waiting for for the doctors decision, Alice asked, "Is there any problem?"
After a bit, Dr. Mezzner set down her paper work and spoke. "No, there is no problem. Please hand me the amulet." She said as she removed the same instrument as last time Alice had been here.
Withdrawing the amulet from her purse, she pushed it across the desk.
She thought back on what she had proposed. She had suggested to the doctor that she be given full parental rights over Stephanie. Alice would be her legal mother. To help sort out complications, Stephanie would be Daisy's fraternal twin sister and the account would be from both girls father. The bank CD would also cover both girls when they reached the age of twenty one and where ready for college.
The creaking of Doctor Mezzner's leather office chair drew her back to the here and now. Alice watched as the doctor ran the instrument over the amulet. Opening a draw and withdrawing a metal box, she then placed the amulet into the container.
Standing, she walked over to an examination table and then asked, "Stephanie, will you please come over here?"
Nodding, the girl stood up from her chair and walked over to the doctor. Doctor Mezzner than asked her to remove her clothes. Afterward, she was laid down onto the table and the doctor ran the instrument over her.
Asking her to sit up, Dr. Mezzner helped her down and said, "Dress please and you may have a treat for being good."
After dressing, Stephanie looked through the open drawer and finally selected a pink bracelet that resembled the same one that Daisy had chosen as well.
"Everything has been arranged. Enjoy your new life Stephanie," the doctor said as they stood and left her office. Afterward, Alice drove home to start dinner for her family. Her new daughter was foremost on her mind and the last thing she was once again thinking of was the amulet.
