Archangel Of Twilight: X & The Single Gargoyle Part V
Chapter Two
Storks and Cabbage Leaves
Adrienne waited anxiously in the Doctor's examination room. After her physical, she tried to content herself with year-old women's magazines with little success. A needle-happy nurse with an itchy trigger finger turned Adrienne into a walking pin cushion. Adrienne's bladder felt drier than the Sahara after submitting three urine samples.
The young Puerto-Rican physician was unlike most others. Her hidden agenda included Mutant medical for members of the outlaw group known as the X-Men.
"Ms. Westfall?" Nurse Hansen called her name.
"Yes?"
"Dr. Reyez will be in momentarily with your results."
"Thank-you." [Do my palms always get this sweaty when I'm nervous??]
One minute slowly passed on the clock. The silence of the examination room threatened to drive Adrienne mad. How she wished Goliath was there with her. She needed his strength and courage at that moment. She abhorred waiting.
"Ms. Westfall?" A rich, deep feminine voice interrupted her pensive thoughts.
"Yes, Doctor Reyez?"
"We have the results from all the test." She sat down and opened the medical chart. She gave Adrienne a warm smile. "No cancer, no bacterial or viral infections. You're healthy as a horse. On impulse, I ran one more test and the results should be here momentarily."
"Okay, that's great." Adrienne breathed an audible sigh of relief. "But, then what's wrong with me? I've dropped ten pounds and I'm not keeping anything down."
A knock came at the door and in stepped Nurse Hansen. She handed the results to Dr. Reyez and left without a word. Dr. Reyez carefully studied the results.
"Hmmm." She hummed.
"What, Doctor?" Adrienne pressed. "What do the results say?"
"Congratulations, Ms. Westfall." The Doctor patted her on the shoulder.
"What? Nothing's wrong with me?" She felt a heavy weight lifted from her with those three little words.
"Better than that. You're going to be a mother. You're six weeks along."
"I'm WHAT!?"
