Nebula had a few doctor friends and there was one among them who she felt really close to. Karlene Argent was a young doctor around the same age as Nebula and the two of them grew very close during one of Nebula's travels. They met at the market and talked for hours while drinking tea, immediately feeling close. Nebula rarely got sick but every time she did, she would only go to Karlene. She had full trust in her person and had nothing to hide from her. Therefore when she went to the doctor to do a check up, it was Karlene that Nebula went to see. As soon as Karlene saw her friend walk in, she jumped up. Nebula only came to her when she was dying, she thought that once again there was something really wrong with her.

"Sit down here, come.'

Seeing her friend all panicked, Nebula didn't understand what was going on. She just sat down without saying anything and watched Karlene come back to her with a tiny shining stone.

"Open wide."

Nebula shook her head:

"I am not sick."

Karlene didn't believe her knowing that Nebula never complained:

"Open it.

-Karlene, I really am fine.

-Yes, yes."

Karlene started feeling Nebula's throat to see if her lymph nodes were bigger than normal but feeling that everything was normal, Karlene started believing what Nebula was saying:

"I told you, I'm fine."

Karlene finally calmed down and sat back in her chair ready to listen to what Nebula had to say.

"I need a fertilization revelation test."

Karlene didn't hesitate a second and nodded before getting up to go to one side of the room and open a drawer where she had to bend down to look for a tiny white box. After taking out a round stone and a needle, she came back to Nebula who extended her arm without waiting to be asked to.

"Are you ready?"

Nebula nodded and after a quick sting they were done. Karlene wiped Nebula's arm before bringing the needle closer to the stone. If it turned fluorescent then it meant pregnancy, if it stayed white then it was negative. The two women stared at the stone in silence for ten seconds that felt like hours and as soon as Nebula was ready to sign, the stone changed colors. She was pregnant. Nebula really didn't have a second of peace in her life. How could this happen to her? Some couples struggled for years to have a child and she got pregnant both times immediately. After this she really needed to donate eggs. The couples who would get them would have a 100% chance of getting pregnant. This was all fun and jokes but Nebula thought she was going to faint. Seeing her all white Karlene bit her lower lip:

"I am so sorry. Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?"

Nebula signed:

"It's okay. I just can't believe it. I get pregnant so easily. I always do everything right but it's never working. I even drank a potion."

Karlene immediately shook her head and grabbed Nebula's shoulders to force her to look at her:

"Stop right there. It is not your fault okay? It happens to a lot of people.

-I know. Moreover, the other person drank a potion too. I had no idea. It's a long story but I thought he really wanted a child. Why would he drink a potion? It's on him, not me."

The two girls started laughing, the mood getting a bit better.

"See? It is not your fault at all. Effect annulation happens to more people than you would think.
