Little
things change so much Part 5:
Do
you have a boyfriend?
--------------------
Two
hours later Prue sat in her grandmother's car, staring
outside.
"Pruedence? You alright?"
Penny asked since she
had noticed Prue going silent and starring outside. Prue shrugged
together and woke from her day dream, starring at Penny
"Sorry
Grams, what... what did you say?"
"You okay?"
"More or
less"
Prue forced a smile, she hated doctors
"Don't worry
Grams"
Penny just nodded and continued to drive, parking the car
as soon as they were at the doctor's. They went straight thought to
the doctor's office, since they had an appointment and the nurse
told them just to go through
"Hello Miss Halliwell
Dr Andrews
greeted Penny also reaching out for her hand to shake it
"So you
must be Pruedence then"
"Umm yeah... hey"
Prue said
uncomfortably
"Just take a seat"
Penny and Prue followed
the doctor's advice and sat both down
"So, what brings you
here?"
Dr Andrews asked looking at Prue
"Um... I... I'm
feeling somewhat sick the last few days... also threw up a few
times"
"But she's not having any other signs of a sickness
like fever ..."
"I see, thanks Miss Halliwell, but I was
actually talking to Pruedence"
Prue tried not to grin at those
words. She knew it was small path between getting grams angry and
understanding
"I Hope you don't mind me to say that I'd like
to talk alone with your granddaughter for now. She's old enough to
have an appointment alone, and if you have any questions afterward,
I'm pleased to have time or you"
Penny starred speechless at
the doctor; she was really short before yelling at that woman. Prue
saw her grandmother's expression and also noticed with it, how her
grandma was short before exploding. She grabbed as fast as she could
onto her hand
"Grams... it's okay..."
Prue said trying
to calm her in some way
"She's right, I'm old enough"
Penny
just nodded and got up, leaving the room. When Penny was out of the
room Prue smiled at the doctor
"That was pretty brave. A lot of
people wouldn't dare to get the anger of my grandma onto them"
"I
figured it was brave. But I prefer my patients to talk to me without
any pressure, but openly"
Prue smiled a little
"Yeah well
when we're already at that topic. Could you call me Prue? It always
makes me uncomfortable, if people call me by my full name"
"Sure
thing"
Dr Andrews said smiling in agreement
"So... has
there been anything, which could have caused your sickness? Maybe you
ate something wrong or did you have a lot of stress lately?"
"Not
more than usual and... no I don't think I ate something that makes
me feel that way"
Dr Andrews thought for a sec
"You are 18,
right?"
She asked, trying to get a picture of Prue
"Yeah, I
am"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"What?"
Prue asked,
not able not to say that loud
'Why the hell does she want to
know that??'
Prue asked herself, but then shrugged together,
starting to follow the thoughts of the doctor. Andy and her... they
had slept with each other.
'Mom was always sick when she
was... pregnant!!!'
"I... um... yes... yes I do"
Prue
said, she didn't reply straight, because she was shocked on the new
thought that just popped in her mind. She was between praying and
hoping, it wasn't true, what she just figured...
"This May
seems rude, but I need to know. Did you two sleep with each other
already?"
Prue just nodded slightly
"Have you ever thought
of the possibility of being pregnant?"
Prue shrugged together
again as the doctor said the word out loud... pictures of the past
running through her mind

Victor
and 3 year old Prue sitting in the living, colouring together
"Is
the baby mad at mommy?"
Prue asked as she looked up from her
drawing
"No, why do you think that?"
"Cause the baby
makes mommy feel bad!"
Victor smiled a bit
"That's normal
honey"

Prue and Andy on Andy's bed, kissing, Andy taking off her clothes... entering her after both were undressed... wrapping his arms tight around her after they did it...

Andy
holding Prue's hand, Penny standing in front of them. Penny looked
in a real stern look at her, Prue hard trying not to look down
"It's
alright, but you better not lied about what you two did last night"
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
"... we
should probably make an ultrasonic just to make sure"
With those
words of Dr Andrews, Prue finally got pulled out of her thoughts. But
she kept hearing her grandmother's voice
"You ready?"
Prue
nodded slightly, still shocked about it all...
"alright, then,
just lay down over there, I get the ultrasonic and also a shot, to
take a blood sample, so we can figure, what it could be else, if you
are not pregnant and if you are, if you and your baby are
alright"
Prue just nodded again, sliding down from the chair,
she was sitting on, going to the other side of the room. After only a
few steps, her feet gave in; it was all too much for her. Dr Andrews
hurried to her side, helping her to the couch, then went to get the
machine and the shot, while Prue opened her trouser and lifted her
top, to make place for Dr Andrews's actions.
"Alright, this is
gonna be a little cold"
Dr Andrews told her, putting some
jelly- alike substance on Prue's stomach and afterwards starting to
scan Prue's stomach. Prue just closed her eyes trying to block out
the worst feeling she ever felt in her life, trying to stop her
grandmother's voice, which yelled in her mind
"There it is"
Dr
Andrews told her
Prue opened the eyes and looked at the
screen
"The head... and the spine... and that tiny little thing,
is the heart"
Dr Andrews explained everything, you could see so
far
"Do you want a picture?"
"Yeah"
Prue said lowly,
nodding slightly. Dr Andrews pressed the print button and in the
meantime took the shot, taking a blood sample. Prue's thoughts were
racing, before it was only a possibility, but now it was reality. She
saw it with her own eyes. She still saw the picture on the screen.
How should she explain this to Andy? How could she? What would her
grandma say? And then there still was her grandma's voice
'you
better not lied about what you two did last night.'
But she
was in some way also real glad her thoughts were racing because she
didn't even notice the needle in her arm
"I'm gonna call
your grandmother back in now" she said, after taking care of Prue's
arm and handing the picture to her
"Um... Dr... Dr Andrews...
can you... please... just... hum... say... that... that we... you...
you gotta wait for the blood samples... I... want... to... to...
tell... to tell my ... my... boyfriend first"
"Sure"
Dr
Andrews told her and watched how Prue let the picture disappear in
her pocket, then went to get Penny.
