All Because Of One Night

Chapter 2
AN: Okay here's chapter 3 hope you guys enjoy. Some of it was thought up while
washing dishes not that you will notice that but...here goes:
Usagi looked around the waiting room once again. Nothing had changed since the
last time she'd been here two days ago. Everything was still as drab as when
she'd left after taking all the required tests. She'd received a call yesterday
afternoon stating the doctor had received her results and needed to see her
immediately.
'I hope something isn't seriously wrong,' she thought worriedly as her eyes
followed each minute (an: pronounced my-nute meaning small. just saying so yall
don't think it's an error) movement of the second hand on the clock on the wall.
'A white clock, just like everything else...white walls...furniture...are they
deliberately trying to make me crazy, what's with all the white!' she thought
idly as she started to become more agitated.
"Miss Tsukino...? Miss Tsukino are you alright?" a voice broke through her inner
musings.
"Huh...? Uh...yeah...I'm fine, just spaced out for a few seconds there," she
responded smiling into the worried face of the nurse.
"The doctor will see you now," stated the nurse still staring intently at her.
"Thank you," replied Usagi getting up and making her way to the office.
"Good Morning Ms. Tsukino." said the doctor by way of reply.
Usagi looked up and stared, not into the dreary brown eyes of her usual doctor
but into a pair of smiling blue ones. Hair twisted into two thick corkscrew- like
pigtails lay below shoulder length on the front of a white doctor's coat, where
usually there was a plain, limp dark brown bob.
"Who are you? Where is Doctor Hamashi" she asked eyes wide.
"Doctor Hamashi had to leave on unexpected personal business yesterday. I'll be
your new doctor until she returns Miss Tsukino, that is, if it is not a
problem?" stated the woman, the question evident in her answer.
"No...it's not a problem; I'm just surprised; I was not informed of the change
in doctor," replied Usagi quickly regaining her composure.
"Sorry about that...there was not enough time to inform all her patients. I'm
Sally Po, you can call me Sally," she said with a warm smile and holding out her
hand.
"Usagi Tsukino but you know that already from my file, you can call me Usagi"
said Usagi holding out her hand her smile still slightly hesitant.
"Yes, now that we've introduced ourselves to each other let's get down to
business. I believe you had some tests taken the last time you were here,
right?" said Sally (AN: Doctor Po just sounds funny to me) taking her seat
behind the desk as Usagi sat in one of the chairs in front of the desk.
"Yes, I was informed that I could come in for the results today," replied
Usagi.
"Yes well everything is in order. Tell me do you have any living relatives?"
asked Sally.
"I was an orphan until I left and made a life for myself, I have no living
relatives...why do you need to know this?" answered Usagi a slight frown marring
her forehead.
"I'm sorry if this makes you uncomfortable but it's needed for your medical
record. If anything were to happen to you; transfusions would be easier made
from a relative as there would be less conflicts in blood type and Rhesus factor
(Rh factor). Also the blood type and the rhesus factor of the father of your
children would be helpful," stated Sally glancing at the papers before her.
"What is this factor thing?" asked Usagi trying to skirt the question about the
children's father.
"The Rh factor also deals with blood. You are aware of the blood groups?" began
Sally. At Usagi's nod she continued, "In addition to blood being grouped
according to antigens in it, it is grouped by its rhesus factor. The rhesus
factor simply involves the presence or absence of antigens on the surface of the
red blood cells (AN: I never knew my Integrated Science notes would come in this
handy :-) my science teacher would be so proud :-). Let's take you for example.
Your blood type is O your blood does not contain any antigens on the surface of
your red blood cells so your actual Blood type would be O negative (O-), however
if antigens were present on their surface you would be O positive (O+). I need
to know the father's blood type and Rh factor because if his blood is O+ or any
other type with a positive Rh factor it could cause complications in your
babies' health later on," explained Sally patiently.
"What types of complications?!" gasped Usagi eyes wide.
"If the babies have his blood type they are still growing in you. The placenta
surrounding them and the umbilical cords they are being feed through would
contain your blood type. The two different blood types would start to clot and
slogs the veins and arteries and cause the deaths of the foetuses," explained
Sally.
"But I don't know who their father is...It was a one night stand...I can't even
remember what he looks like!" gasped Usagi as tears fell down her face at the
thought that she could lose her children whom, besides how they'd been
conceived, she'd grown to love with all her heart in the past few days since
she'd found out.
"Miss Tsukino...Usagi! Don't upset yourself; there are other ways around this,
it just would have been easier if you could tell us who he was, more
specifically his exact blood type" said Sally as she came around the desk to
calm the distraught young woman.
"You must think I have no morals! You'll probably report me to Social Services
and have them take my children away when they're born!" sobbed Usagi bringing
her hands up to her face her shoulders slumping in defeat.
"Usagi...it is not my place to judge you, it is my job to see that you and your
unborn children are healthy; please stop upsetting yourself like this. It's not
good for the babies," said Sally in a quiet soothing tone.
"You're not going to report me as being an unfit parent?" asked Usagi looking up
with a puffy tear streaked face.
"You're making a good job of it now on your own so I have nothing to
report...besides haven't you heard of doctor/patient confidentiality? I utter
one word out of place and you could sue me and the hospital," said Sally with a
smile.
"Alright...but what about the blood type thing?" asked Usagi accepting a couple
of tissues from Sally to clean her face.
"Well until the fetuses are old enough to take a placenta test (okay this is
where I begin to take artistic liberty with medical science) to determine their
blood types I'll prescribe you with medication which you are to take 3 times a
day. Before breakfast, lunch and dinner. I must warn you, the pill prevents the
clotting of blood so you have to avoid sharp objects and injury at all costs,
that would mean staying away from knives and broken glass and other such
objects," stated Sally seriously.
"But how am I supposed to clean my apartment, wash the dishes, work, do
anything...isn't there an alternative?" asked Usagi as the enormity of what
Sally was asking her to do sunk in.
"Take time off from work and check into a hotel, somewhere where you won't have
to do much. We'll only be able to do the placenta test when you're four months
pregnant. That is when it will be safest for the fetuses. So I want you to come
in for regular check ups every month but the placenta test will be done
approximately three months from now," stated Sally glancing once again at the
folder opened on her desk.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-
Sally sat back in her chair after Usagi had left, fingers steepled beneath her
chin in thought. Turning decisively to the vid-phone.
"Quatre Rebarba-Winner speaking," came the voice on the vid-phone a few minutes
later.
"Yes Quatre, just letting you know. We've found WXX30 and she appears to be your
twin..."
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- _-_-
Okay so what do you guys think and don't give me the Quatre's twin is over done
crap. It's how I've chosen to incorporate it into my fic. You guys will see
where this all comes together soon. Ja ne and don't forget to R&R with your
thoughts.
