Super-Short Story2

  "You can't tell me you haven't seen it," Dr. John Marcus asked as he and his colleagues exited the elevator.
  "Seen what?" Dr. Tammy Kirk asked.
  "He's talking about Dr. Shawns," Dr. Tim Manson therw in.
  "Oh, yes. I congratulated them both just the other day. She's already getting really big--"
  "No, not that," Dr. Marcus interrupted. He looked around, lowered his voice and whispered to his three colleagues, "I mean have you seen her in the lounge. She reads to it."
  "You say as if it's abnormal for an expecting mother to read to her developing fetus," Dr. Jenny Chang piped up. "Studies have shown that it actually helps to child's brain development."
  "Yeah, well I thought it was perfectly normal, too, until I got a glimpse of the stack of books. The Great Gabsy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Odyssey....all of the books she is reading to her unborn child I didn't even pick up until my second year of undergrad!"
  "Oh, stop. She's obviously doing it int the best interest of her child," Dr. Kirk remarked.
  "I'm not gonna lie, it was kinda freaky. I mean she summarizes each chapter and everything. This kid's already got great genes: his mom is a country-ranked plastic surgeon, and his dad is a innovational neurosurgeon. She's already going to give birth to one hell of a baby." Dr. Manson shrugged his shoulders. "Reading it all that high-level literature is just going to guarantee that."
  "I'm convinced that that baby's IQ is going to be at least 120 coming out out of the womb," Dr. Marcus said. "He'll get into college at nine, and start his residency by 16. Before we know it, we'll be taking orders from him."
  "I just had the weirdest picture in my head of Dr. Shawns shoving a Rubix cube up her--"
  "I wonder what it will be like while she's in labor," Dr. Kirk unintentionally Dr. Manson while thinking aloud. "I mean, she's the initiator of pain at this hospital. So does she just coast easily through the whole process?"
  "Obviously not, " Dr. Marcus corrected. "She's human, so it's inevitable for her to feel the pain. She just has telepathic powers, so she transfers all of her pain to the residents of the hospital."
  "You're both insane," Dr. Chang said.
  "Whatever. But you'll see. That day will be hell on Earth for us."
