Chapter 3
Jude was still trying to recover from the excitement of knowing she finally got what she wanted. The opportunity to showcase her songs to the public. Sure Jaime had booked SME to play little gigs, including once at their school talent show. But she knew it would be nothing compared to the ones G-Major would be able to provide.
After leaving G-Major, SME went to Jude's house and ordered pizza to celebrate. Things were looking up and Jude hoped their luck was just beginning.
When she got home with SME she was greeted by her dad, who had been waiting patiently for his youngest daughter to arrive home with news.
"Hunny. I'm so happy for you." Stuart hugged Jude for the millionth time since she got home.
"I know dad. You already said that." She laughed.
"I'm sorry. I'm just so proud of you. I knew this would happen for you." He said hugging her again.
When Sadie got home the congratulations continued. Sadie hugged Jude and kissed her on the cheek. As soon as Sadie pulled away from Jude, Spied looked at her and opened his arms, signing he wanted a hug too. "No way Vincent. Save it for when you win an award." Sadie smiled.
After they started eating Sadie leaned over to Jude. " So. What did you think of G-Major?"
"It was really cool. Darius Mills wasn't as mean as he looks." Jude smiled.
Sadie laughed and took a bite of her pizza.
"Oh. I finally got to meet Kwest." Jude said nudging Sadie's shoulder.
Jude watched her sister turn red. " And? He's really cute right?"
"He is. And he seemed really sweet. He's kind of weird though." Jude said remembering the way he held her hand too long.
"What do you mean?" Sadie asked confused.
"Well. He likes to space out." Jude explained.
Sadie furrowed her eyes in confusion. " Hmm. I've never noticed that."
Jude grinned widely. "That's because you're too busy staring at him. Because you love him." Jude laughed.
"I do not love him." Sadie rolled her eyes.
"You don't love who?" Kyle asked Sadie. He was sitting next to Jude and couldn't help overhearing the conversation.
"No one." The sisters answered at the same time.
The rest of dinner was uneventful. Jude sighed remembering tomorrow was the dreaded doctor's appointment. It wasn't so much that she hated hospitals or doctor's. But she hated having to be undressed for a stranger. She had finally gotten used to the family Doctor, Dr. Lemmon and now Sadie was making her go to a new doctor.
The next day Jude was driving to her doctors appointment when she heard her cell phone ring. " Yes Sadie." She answered.
"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you? I can ask Darius to let me go home early." Sadie pleaded.
"Sadie. You worry too much. I'm a big girl. I promise I won't chicken out. I have to go. I'm here. I love you bye." With that she hung up.
She walked toward the building. She read the sign quietly to herself. " The Williamson Woman's Center and Fertility Clinic" She sighed deeply and looked up at the building.
Was it just her or did the building look bit intimidating? She swallowed hard and walked up the small steps. She was beginning to regret denying Sadie's company.
She got on the elevator and got off on the third floor. She watched as people zoomed past her. It was defiantly a busy day for the clinic. She nervously walked up to the receptionist who was busy answering phone calls.
"Excuse me." Jude said in a small voice. The woman gestured for her to wait a minute. After a while she looked up and smiled at Jude. " Sorry about that. Today has been crazy." She laughed. " I'm Deepali . How may I help you?"
"I have a five o'clock appointment. But I don't remember what doctor it was with." Jude said biting her lip. Sadie's had told her the name of the doctor, but she just couldn't remember the name.
"It's ok. What's your name?" The young woman asked.
"Jude Harrison."
Deepali laughed. " You must get a lot of Hey Jude's." The woman smiled.
"Too many." Jude smiled back.
Deepali looked in the computer and smiled. " Ah. Yes, there you are. You're a new patient right?" She asked.
Jude nodded.
" Here is some paper work for you to fill out. When you are done bring it back to me." The receptionist said, giving Jude a clipboard.
Jude smiled and sat down to fill out the paperwork. When she was done, she did as she was told and waited patiently for her name to be called.
Meanwhile at G-Major
Tommy had been nervous all day. He just couldn't concentrate on anything. He was supposed to be listening to Karma sing, but instead he was pacing the floor.
" Tommy. Man. Calm down." Kwest laughed.
"I can't Kwest. Today is the day they inseminate Erica. She is my only hope of being a dad." He said shoving his hands in his pocket.
"Tommy. I don't want to bring you down, but you have to be prepared incase this doesn't work." Kwest said.
"If it doesn't. We'll try again. But Kwest. I have this feeling. I know it's going to happen." Tommy smiled.
Kwest had tried his best. He wanted this to happen for Tommy. He had been there for Tommy through the cancer and through the attempts to get Nicole pregnant. As much as he wanted to see his friend happy, Kwest dreaded the worst.
The Clinic
Jude was fidgeting in her seat. They were taking a really long time to call her name. She started to get up to leave when her name and another girls' was called.
The nurse had two folders in her hand.
" Jude Harrison?" The nurse asked. Jude raised her hand. The nurse smiled.
And "Erica Matthews?" The petite blonde girl next to Jude raised her hand. "I'm nurse Manning. Come with me."
The nurse started to walk through a grey door , when she opened it, she didn't see another nurse trying to come through the door as well. The two women collide into each other, sending papers flying everywhere. The nurses quickly gathered all the papers and put everything back in the folders.
"As if this day wasn't crazy enough." The other nurse laughed.
The nurse took Jude and Erica down a long narrow hallway. She stopped where the hallway split in two different directions. A second nurse joined them then.
Nurse Manning looked into a red folder and looked at Erica. " Erica. You go with Nurse Caruthers." She instructed. Jude watched as the new nurse took Erica down the hallway to the right.
"You. Jude come with me." Nurse Manning said taking Jude down the left hallway.
When they reached the door, the nurse smiled and led Jude into a cold empty room.
"Here's a gown. Take off your clothes, put on the gown and lay down on the table. Dr. Green will be right with you." She said putting the folder down and walking out of the room.
Jude looked thoughtful for a moment. Dr. Green didn't sound familiar. But she just shrugged it off.
Jude did as she was told. She felt a strange sensation in the pit of her stomach. Jude felt her heart race forcefully in her chest. Maybe it was the room. It had white walls and looked so cold and unwelcoming. There were a few posters of the female anatomy hanging on the wall. She tried to preoccupy her mind looking at them.
A few minutes later the doctor came in and greeted Jude. He looked over her folder and smiled at her.
"Do you have any question before we begin?"
"Wow already?" Jude thought, clutching her stomach. She thought about his question for a moment. Jude knew she was going to get a pap smear and she heard it hurt so she asked. " Is it going to hurt?" She shot up.
The doctor smiled at her. Although he did find it a bit strange that Dr. Dorin, who was originally going to do the procedure didn't already explain that to her. " You might feel a little cramping, but if it becomes too painful, you let me know."
The doctor told her to lay back down. " Ok. Jude. First I'm going to…"
Jude cut him off. " I'm sorry but I'm a little nervous, so you don't have to explain what you're doing. Just do your thing." She said nervously.
The doctor nodded and began his procedure.
Jude was surprised that it didn't hurt at all. It took a little longer than she expected but she assumed it's was normal. The doctor told her to get dressed and to come back to run labs in two weeks.
Jude wondered if he meant the lab results would be back in two weeks. But before she could utter a word, the doctor left the room.
Jude took a deep breath and smiled. She hated going to the doctor, but this wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. At least it was over now.
After she was dressed, she left the room and walked back to the lobby. She saw Deepali still frantically answering phone calls.
"Bye Jude!" The young girl waved. Jude waved back and got on the elevator.
Doctor Green was finishing his charting when he heard nurse Manning calling him.
"Dr. Green! Have you done the procedure on that girl I just brought you?" She asked frantically.
"Yes. Why?" The doctor said taking in the worried look on the nurses face.
"Oh my God!" She said putting her face in her hands.
"What is it?" Dr. Green demanded.
"There was a mix up. That girl came here for a regular gynecologist visit. Your patient was with Dr. Reed."
"Are you telling me I just inseminated the wrong girl?! A very young girl."
The nurse just nodded. She knew a mistake like that could get the clinic sued.
"How did this happen?" The doctor demanded.
"The clinic was really busy. So to save time I called both their names. Another nurse and I bumped into each other. That must have been when their information was switched." The nurse said in tears.
"Ok calm down. Go find out if she already left." The doctor instructed.
After a few minutes the nurse came back. "Deepali, the receptionist in front said, she saw the girl leave a few minutes ago."
Dr. Green rubbed his temples. He had to think fast. He couldn't blame the nurse entirely. He should have verified he was treating the right patient. If he hadn't been in such a hurry to get to his other patients, he would paid better attention. " Is the correct patient still here?" He said finally.
The nurse nodded.
" Bring her in. And call the lab to get more of Mr. Quincy's samples."
"You're going through with the insemination?" The nurse asked.
"Of course I am. No one needs to know about what happened here." He whispered.
The nurse looked at the doctor like he was crazy. " Is this a joke? We have her file. What if she becomes pregnant and comes here for answers."
"That is why you are going to destroy this file. " He said handing her Jude's file. "You have access to the clinics computers right?"
"Yes. But…" The nurse said, still shocked by what the doctor wanted to do.
"Good. Then you get on the computer and erase her from the computer system as well. "
"I don't think I can do that." Nurse Manning said quietly.
"Look. This is your mix up. You fix it. Unless you want the clinic to get sued by some teenager."
The nurse knew what she needed to do. She went to look for Erica, the correct patient, and call the lab. No one would have to know about the mistake. The probability that the girl would get pregnant was very slim. Among other things, she would have to be a match with Mr. Quincy and be ovulating. There were just too many factors that played into the situation. Nurse Manning took a deep breath, convinced that everything would be ok.
A/N: So there it is. Sorry for the lack of Jommy, but there will be some next chapter and plenty more to come. What did you think? A lot of drama is about to happen to Jude.
