It was he day ater Labor Day and back to School. Maggie starts her new middle school. The twins start kindergarten. Tagoshi who was named after my brother stars 1st grade. The twin now go to the same School as Tagoshi. Last year, their pre-school wa at the YMCA. At thair graduation last year, they did the YMCA dance with the song. The kid's where coming down for breakfast and Honey was making pancakes.'
Honey:"Cone down guys. you don't want to be late on your first day."
Hiro:"Hi babe."
Honey:"What's on your sceduale?"
Hiro:"Today I have clinic duty and Maggie taking piano lesson so I need to take her to that".
Honey:"Speaking of Maggie were is she?"
Hiro:"I think she shill upstairs. I'll get her".
Maggie was sitting on her bed. I went upstairs into her room.
Hiro:"Maggie, what's wrong"?
Maggie:"it's the first day of middle School and I'm nervous".
Hiro:"I know it can be a little scary when you go to a new School but you get to make new friends.".
Magie:"No it's not that."
Hiro:"What's the problem?"
Maggie:"I'm a young woman trapped in a little girls body. I think I need Baymax".
Hiro:"Sweetie, your just going through a a hard time. Your just becoming a teenager".
Maggie:"Dad I'm only 12."
Hiro:"Young girls go through puberty different ages but for you, you went through ear-ly puberty".
Maggie:"Dad? What wrong"?

Maggie:"Don't forget my first piano lesson at 4:00pm".

After breakfast, I dropped the twins and Tagoshi off at School and I went to work. I had clinic duty. I clocked in at Crystal came up to me.
Crystal:"Your first patient is going to be a little late."
Hiro:"Okey. I be in my office. Call me after she arrived'.
I went into my office and log on onto my computer and filled my timecard for the day. I check my appointments on the computer. It look like I was booked. En E-mail popped up. It was from Crystal. Crystal popped up in my office.
Crystal:"Your first patient just arrived".

Crystal: I send a PDF file for you to print out,"
Hiro:"What is It"?
Crystal:"I'll tell you later. Meeting at 4:00pm and bring the print out that I sent to you.
I think in my mine that Maggie is going to be disappointed of me because for first piano lesson is at four and I'm not there to take her. I grabbed my lab coat and went in the hallway and grabbed my patient's chart and went into the exam. room.
At SP middle school, Magie went to the principal office to get her class sceduale and her locker number. She went to her locker. She was trying to open it but could not until another girl came up to her.
Suesan:"Having trouble? Let me help you with that."

Susan:"That what convense him to become a physision?"
Maggie:"He wanted to follow his brothers footsteps".
Susan:"What happen to him"?
Maggie:" My Dad said that he died in a fire when he was a teenage. Wait. How did you know all this"?

The bell rang for first period.

All the sudden a mean bully name Danny came and grabbed Maggie by the shoulders's.

Maggie ran to Homeroom.
Back at the clinic, I was looking a little girls X-ray that broke her arm. She was on the monkey bars at School and fell on the concrete and ended up in the ER.
Hiro:"The bones are healed and ready to take the cast off.
I open the cupboard and took out a casting saw.
Hiro:"Okey Emily this will not cut you only the cast. This may tickle a little".
I put on my goggles and started to saw the cast off.
Hiro:"Okey all done. You may keep this of you like.
I gave Emily a sucker.
Emily:"Thank you Dr. Hamada."
Hiro:"Your very welcome. Be careful when you gone on the Monkey bars at School.
I went out the exam. room and went to see my next patient.
Back at SF Middle School, Maggie went to computer 101. That mean bully Danny was in the same class. Maggie was scared so she went to see the principal to get her out of computer 101 second period. She explain to her principal. she agreed so she put her in English. The principal talked with her."
Principal:"You know Maggie, Sometimes we have a ignore bullies. If someone is bothering you, We have a School counsler to talk to. I'm sorry I had to put you in that class.I 'll talk to Danny.
Maggie:"Thank Mrs. Kelsey".
Back at the clinic, A four year old Tommy was coughing for three weeks. I exam. him and wrote up a prescription to give to Mom and gave Tommy a small teddy bear. It was time for my lunch break. I went into the break room and texted Maggie that I had a meeting at 4:00 and was unable to take her so I called Mom at home. Maggie received it at School.
Maggie.I"m sorry I have a meeting at 4:00. I'm unable to take you to your piano lessons. I called Mom. She'll take you. Dad.

After my lunch break, I went back to work and went to see more patient. A two year old shoved a small ball up his nose,A nine year old had a bladder infection and I found out a 14 year old was pregnant. After the meeting at 4:00pm, I got my coat and went home When I came home, Someone was angry with me.
Hiro:" Maggie, Why are you mad at me didn't you get my text?"
Maggie:"Yes?
Hiro:"Why are you angry at me?"
Maggie:"I'm not angery at you"?
Hiro:"Then who are you mad at"?
Maggie:"I don't know."
Hiro:"Well I need you upstairs. I want to check your height."
Upstairs in my office,I ask Maggie to take her shoes off and step on my Docor's scale. I gently slide the metal stick, guide down toward her head. I was surprise what it red so I wrote it down on her chart. She stepped off .
Hiro:" Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Maggie:"Well I was teased all day at one boy called me a midget.
Hiro:"I'm sorry to hear that. Anyway your hight is the same as when you were eleven.
Maggie:What dos this all mean Dad?
Hiro:"You may have another medical condition that prevents you from growing taller. Have a seat. I need to draw some blood".
Maggie sat down while I get out a blood drawing kit. I drew 4 tubes of blood for the GH (Growth hormone) test and have her apply pressure were I stuck the needle in. At dinnertime, Baymax was serving the garlic bread while Honey Lemmon serve the salad and chicken. The kids got drumsticks, Honey and I had the breast.
Hiro:" So Tadashi? what did you do in School today?"
Tadashi:"I was picked for pee wee T-ball in gym class".
Honey:"That great".
Hiro:"Oh Maggie, How was your first piano lesson's"?
Maggie:"Fine".
I was talking to Honey.
Hiro:"Honey, Maybe we should buy a piano for her to practice on. Keyboard outlet is having a sale on piano's".
Honey:"you think we should?"
Hiro:"Let's go after dinner and go out for ice-cream".
Kids: Yeah!
Maggie:"All right then lets go".
Honey cleared off the table while I put the kids in the car. We drove to Keyboard outlet to look at piano's. We ordered one and will come in one week. Then we went to dairy queen to get blizzards and came back home. The new morning, I check Maggie's hieght. Still the same. I was concerned.
