During the examination Roman never left Dean's side, while he was trying to answer the doctor's question as good as he could.
"Okay. No serious injuries so far …" Dr. Jackson murmured more to himself, after he had finished his brief body check, by gently touching Dean's complete body.
"Could you please keep him still for a moment, so I can take a look in his eyes?" He asked Roman, switching on a small lamp in his hand. The Samoan nodded, before he carefully took Dean's head between his hands.
"Deeaaannn." His name left Roman's lips softly, pulling the little boy's attention on him. Dean giggled, realizing the tall man's face was hanging upside down in front of his eyes. He tried to touch the Samoan's beard with his hand and Roman took it, pressing it gently, while the doctor checked Dean's pupil reaction.
"Nuhhh …" Dean whined and started twisting, when the sudden bright light hurt his eyes.
"Shhh it's okay Dean. You're doing great." The tall man comforted him, softly whipping away a tear from Dean's cheek.
"Good. Now I'm gonna check his ears." The doctor explained.
"Buuuhhb." Roman grinned and poked the boy's little nose, causing Dean to squeal with glee, while the doctor continued his examination.
"Open your mouth nice and widely." Dr. Jackson held a small wooden slat up.
"Dean. Baaahhh." Roman opened his mouth widely and sticked his tongue out, watching the boy giggling, before Dean imitated him.
"Okay Mr. Reigns, I can see no signs for a head trauma or something similar, neither there are serious injuries on the rest of his body. That makes an MRI unnecessary." The doctor smiled, seeing Roman relax instantly.
"I'd like to take a blood sample though, just to make sure that we don't miss something."
"Okay." The Samoan said, "Can I take Dean into my arms for this? I think it would be easier from him then."
"Sure." The doctor agreed, watching how Roman gently, picked the boy up.
"Mhhhnnn …" Dean grunted happily, coiling up against the Samoan's chest immediately.
"Good boy." The tall man murmured, holding one of Dean's short arms out for the doctor.
The agonized scream which left Dean's mouth, when the needle entered his skin, was breaking Roman's heart and he held the boy tightly.
"It's okay buddy." The black hair man whispered, gently kissing his dirty blond curls, "Almost done." Dean was struggling in his embrace, while the blood was running into the ampule.
"Shhh I'm here." He felt Dean fisting his shirt tightly, while more and more of his tears seeped into Roman's shirt.
"That's it." Dr. Jackson said, gesturing the Samoan to put pressure on the tiny stitch on Dean's arm. "I quickly get this to the lab. Would you please wait here for a moment?"
Roman just nodded, lifting the desperately crying boy up so Dean was looking right into his grey eyes. "Shhh baby boy.", He tried to sooth him softly. "It's okay. Don't cry." Nothing but fears was sparkling in Dean's baby blue eyes and Roman pressed him back against his chest. "Shhh it's over. You're safe." The Samoan could feel Dean's hot tears against his neck, starting to rock him gently in his arms.
"Shhh you're okay." Roman kept on whispering, feeling how Dean slowly relaxed.
"Look what the nice doctor left here for you." The tall man took a small patch, which had little giraffes on it and showed it Dean, who was still sobbing in his arms.
"Is that a giraffe Dean, huh?" The Samoan asked, feeling how he slowly got the boy's attention.
"G-g-g- …" Dean babbled, reaching out for the patch.
"Yes, a giraffe." Roman smiled, "Do you want a giraffe on your arm Dean?" The boy smiled happily, letting the last tears in his eyes disappear, while the tall man put the patch over the tiny stitch on Dean's arm.
"What a nice giraffe." The Samoan grinned, watching the boy carefully stroking over the patch. Then Dean looked up and Roman was greeted by the same sparkling baby blue eyes, which had convinced him to keep this baby the other night. The Samoan sighed deeply. Would he ever get used to that adorable look?
No, the answer for this question was definitely no, Roman thought, feeling his heart melting once again.
