Hey guys, just want to thank everyone for their reviews and favourite story alerts - chuffed you's are all liking it. Just a wee heads up for you's things are going to get very awkward for poor Ronnie and Danielle but at least they have each other!!! Please review and let me know what you's think …….
As they made there way into the room, a young brunette looked up from her desk.
"Hi, um Danielle, my name is Dr. Andrews" She smiled and glanced to Ronnie in a questioning manner. "Veronica Mitchell, I'm Danielle's mother" Ronnie stated with pride in her voice, as she examined the doctor before her, she was probably round the same age as herself, but she looked young and care free.
"Now Danielle why don't you's take a seat and we will have a chat yea?" Danielle sat in the seat in front of the desk, while Ronnie pulled her seat closer to Danielle's before clasping onto her hand for support once again.
"what can I do for you today then?" Dr. Andrews looked expectantly at the two women in front of her, who wore pained and worried expression.
Danielle's head fell with shame and disgust. Ronnie gripped her daughter's hand tightly noticing how uncomfortable Danielle was with all of this.
"Danielle, was assaulted last night" Ronnie dug deep within her to even say the words out loud, saying them made them real and she felt the tears build up within her, while Danielle sat there numb.
"oh, I see" Dr. Andrews made her way from her seat to in front of the desk, where she leaned against the edge casually.
"Danielle, where you sexually assaulted ?" She questioned, delicately placing her hand on Danielle's shoulder, who gave a slight nod.
Dr. Andrews gave Ronnie a sympathetic look. No one should have to go through this she thought, she had seen how it affected people, them having to live with it everyday of their lives but at least she has her mother support she thought to herself as she surveyed the emotional damage of the young girl before her.
"Ok Danielle, I'm going to have to ask you a few questions first and then we will check you out, ok." Her voice was soft and soothing, she spoke slowly ensuring her words where absorbed. She reached for a pad and pen, not moving from her position -she had found from experience the more informal she was the more at ease her patients tended to be, especially in these circumstances.
"Danielle, did full sexual inter-course take place?" Ronnie shifted awkwardly in her chair, as Danielle gave a small nod as she let out a soft whimper "yes" , refusing to make eye contact with the doctor.
"Are you sexually active?" Dr. Andrews asked feeling slightly uncomfortable, she hated asking such personal questions especially after everything but it needed to be done.
Danielle remained with her head down, unsure of how to respond, she wasn't really active she thought to herself but there was that one time with Paul.
"yes" was all Danielle could muster.
"Ok, Danielle have you had many sexual partners?" Ronnie wanted to scream, tell her to back off and quit asking such personal questions. She wanted to protect her baby not make her uncomfortable but instead she fell even further in her chair letting the tension build within the room as she waited for Danielle's response.
"One" Danielle said as the tears broke her voice and began to fall.
Ronnie's heart lurched as she looked at Danielle thinking of the one night stand that had gotten her pregnant.
She tried to process it, but the pain filled her soul, what had her sweet, beautiful daughter done to deserve this. She had never being truly loved, never had the chance of lying next to someone with pure contentment, instead she had being used and abused. Tears filled Ronnie eyes as she felt her heart break with sadness.
Ronnie sat dazed and confused, her baby, her wee girl, her life had being turned upside down on a mere nine months. All because of her…
Dr. Andrews continued with the questions as Ronnie zoned in and out of her heart break, she heard something about contraception methods. Ronnie wanted to laugh why would Danielle need the bloody pill, she was sweet and innocent, she didn't sleep around.
"Is this really necessary?" Ronnie was getting agitated and she could tell by the grip Danielle held on her hand that she wasn't liking all the questions either.
"I'm almost finished.." Dr. Andrews gave Ronnie a reassuring smile.
"Ok Danielle, I just want to check the incident has being reported yes?" Danielle looked at Ronnie with a pleading expression on her face, panic beaming from her eyes.
"Yes, we reported it last night" Ronnie lied, not wanting to let her daughter down once again, she was prepared to do anything to prevent Danielle from having to relive her pain once again.
