Victoria was never one to reminisce, not out of choice, but due to the intensity of her job. Doctors were hard to find, and somehow, a physical therapist like herself was assigned to handle the duties traditionally undertaken by a doctor in her sector. She had really always wanted to be a dancer, but she never had the swiftness or balance for it. But in times like these where you were either another mouth to feed or a skilled individual, people did what they could to get by.
While most of the injuries she dealt with were associated with those that accompanied labor, she would also assist birthing, and moving backwards in that direction, fertility. Amanda had came around for a checkup again a week ago, despite Victoria repeatedly assuring her that based on her reports, and perhaps if she were to be a little crude, physical characteristics, she was exceptionally fertile. But she knew long-established mindsets would always lead to the woman blaming herself, while it was quite obvious it was her man who was unable to conceive.
It has been awhile since she last saw Sam, and she was inclined to think he had been avoiding her ever since the fateful incident that she refers to as "the kick". Amanda would have thrown a fit if she knew that several patients before her, was the seemingly prudish Yvonne having a checkup for her pregnancy, together with her consort, Dante. Jealousy aside, the rivalry the two women had, not to mention Dante's painful run-in with Amanda would surely have had her flying off the handle.
In circumstances different from the one she was in, she would have been Sam's girlfriend and none of these problems would concern anyone. If Sam had not been so drawn to social status, and wealth, and stature, he might have instead courted a woman like herself. In certain aspects, she even bore resemblance to the long legged and well-endowed Amanda, if not a little more on the plump side. She was definitely not as pretty as she was, but she would have loved him just as well, even in his current state.
Sam used to scoff at, and derisively mock Yvonne, and she knew that despite his swashbuckling, he held inside a tenderness he let show around Amanda. And if things were a little different, he might have given it to her instead. Even with his sexual magnetism, he had his unpleasantness which shook out a lot whenever he had conflicts with Yvonne. She had a naturally pretty face with soft features, although her teeth were slightly misaligned and tinted off-white from her lifestyle choices. But Sam would many a time bully her for her smaller than average breasts and minimally curved figure.
Victoria reminisced to how she went red once during his physical, when she was conducting a reproductive checkup and unwittingly brushed her hand against one of his testicles, which made him jump slightly. She was not fully to blame, however, as he had such large, low hanging testis that got in the way. She would have described most testicles as large grapes or small plums loosely sitting in the testicle sack, but Sam's nuts were so full looking and plump that she thought of them as two hairy eggs dangling below his penis. She had noticed that he got hard midway through the examination, as she tried to think of neutral things to prevent her blood from travelling to places that should not be awoken while she was at work.
But it was unlikely that she would get to examine him, and feel his hard body with her gentle hands again, as he had been avoiding her appointments as of late. In this rare moment of her nostalgia, her thoughts begin trailing off to Sam's constant pushing around of Yvonne that would lead up to him losing one testes.
