All I could do is sit and stare at this wall, which was all I could do. Just staring at the wall wondering, hoping, praying Parker would be OK. It was already hard when all I could do is sit and wait. The seconds felt like minutes and the minutes felt like hours. It felt like years later that the doctor came to our attention asking for Mr. and Mrs. White. Immediately Nate and I stood. Hardison who was already up and pacing in distress as he had been the whole time we were here stood in navy-like attention. At the same time Eliot held his cool demeanor although I could tell he was itching to know what was wrong.
"Mr. and Mrs. White" the doctor who was wearing a doctor's usual attire of white started. She looked at us, silently asking us if we were ready to hear her continue. I nodded my head slightly, bracing myself for what was about to be said. "Your daughter if you are not aware is pregnant with twins."
My heart sunk and I couldn't believe I was hearing what I was hearing. Who is the father? I looked over at Hardison and I could tell he was devastated just by the way his head hung so low to the ground. My heart went out for him while his eyes told me no, that baby is not mine, it's not even possible. Lucky I couldn't think too long before the doctor allowed herself to continue.
"Right now she is 18 weeks along which allowed us to monitor the babies and for right now they are fine. But the danger is her eating habits are abnormal and her abdomen is not giving the twins enough space, which really could be a danger. Also the arsenic poising that had occurred in your daughter is under control. Being as the twins are so early in their stage of development we won't surely know if the poison affected them until after birth. So for right now we are putting your daughter on light antibiotics that will help the poison clear form her system faster, it would also help if indeed the poisoning did spread to the fetus. Also I usually don't recommend this but I think Miss. White should eat more so the fetus will have enough space to develop. I know this is a lot to take in but, congratulations you are going to be a grandparent."
I and Nate turned to each other in shock. We were not just in shock because she was pregnant but that she had a love life at all. It's not that's she is not a smart beautiful girl but I must state again, that she is not a social person. At least that's what I thought. I wasn't angry or disappointed I was more surprised than anything. Then I heard the –bam- as Hardison's fist met the wall. Clearly he was trying not to cry but was failing miserably. Eliot tried to calm the man but Alec nudged Eliot's hand away, while he threw another fist at the wall only for Eliot to catch it in his hand.
"Let's go." Eliot growled to the man and the look he gave me told me to keep him informed. Hardison stormed out of the waiting room with Eliot following behind him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid.
Before the doctor could excuse herself I let myself ask her the question I almost forgot. "Can I speak with her?" I asked and I was only praying she was conscious.
"Sure room 206" she said before she exited out the waiting room.
And then that's when my head began to spin as I realized how we are going to handle this situation; most of all how she, as a woman was going to handle this situation.
