Aidan smiled at the newest visitor from behind the desk where he was working. Still dressed in his Civil War uniform, he knew that he looked slightly out of place in Victorian London, but the era was right and it was something he had worn.

"Glad to see you were still able to make your appointment," he said, glancing up from the ledger at the woman. "Although next time just let someone know and we'll make a house call. That's what they did in this day and age anyways."

Sonya nearly did a double take at the uniform: one didn't go through any military acadamy without learning about the civil war. The fact that a doctor was in such a uniform only made her more curious-which compared to her physical ailments was a welcome distraction.

She held back a laugh. "Duly noted, but if I have to spend so much time in my room, I'd go mad. It's a short walk anyway." A little hazardous yes, but like hell was she going to behave as though walking was a health risk.

Sonya thought it was a good thing as well, and prayed that she wouldn't have to deliver her babies in such circumstances.

"Right, weight and heartbeat. I can already tell you the babies are active during most hours, I swear my insides are now black and blue from their kicking."

She carefully stood up. "Of course, most of this weight's possible going to be from petticoats and underwear." Christ, half the time it was like wearing body armor.
