He and Jamie were now settled back into their Phoenix apartment, when
Landon decided to get his neck checked out. "Might as well," he said, "We
get it free from the clinic anyway."
So he went to the doctor for Soon-To-Be fathers, Dr. Hipping. He sat in the waiting room patiently until a nurse came out and called, "Landon Carter!"
He followed her into a back room and was told to be seated and that the doctor would be with him shortly. "Great," he thought, "More waiting."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The doctor came in and shook Landon's hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Carter."
"Same here," he replied.
"So what seems to be the problem," he asked.
"Well, I have been having severe neck pains," he said, "At first, it wasn't so bad, but now I take pain medication."
"Mm, hm," was all the doctor said to reply. He ran his hand over his neck then stopped abruptly. "We need to perform a biopsy," he said shortly.
"What do you need to do a biopsy for?" asked Landon.
"Well, you have a very enlarged lymph node, which could be numerous things. We need to cut a piece of it out, maybe the whole thing, for tests. This could be very serious, so we need to do it soon. Tomorrow morning, nine o' clock, be at the surgery center, please don't be late. Goodbye, Mr. Carter," and with that the doctor was gone.
Landon went home to tell Jamie.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I have to have a biopsy, tomorrow morning," said Landon, sitting next to Jamie on the couch later that day.
"What?" asked Jamie, who was half asleep.
"I have to have a biopsy," he repeated.
"Well, I'll be here, I mean there," she said groggily. She was seven months pregnant, and it had taken it's toll on her more then a regular, healthy woman would. He felt sorry for her.
"You don't have to go, hunny. Really, it's not a big procedure," he lied. Really, it was surgery, so it was a big deal. But he didn't want her to worry when she was at home either.
He stroked her hair as she fell asleep, and watched her fall asleep, wondering what the next day would bring.
A/N: Please review! I live off reviews he he. What's up with Landon.. HM... I wonder!
