They had to wait for about two hours later, when the nurse finally came to get Kitty. "Ms. Pryde. Ms. Katherine Pryde," Piotr stood up, but Kitty was in the bathroom again. He and the nurse had to wait for a couple of seconds before Kitty came out again, and Piotr put his arm around her to steady her weak legs.
"If you'll have a seat there. The doctor will be with you shortly." Both Piotr and Kitty sat down.
"You know what I hate most about this kind of stuff?" Piotr looked up her furious face, his hands placed atop of hers. "The time. You see, even if we made an appointment the doctor wouldn't see us at the time we scheduled." Piotr smirked, the door opened.
"Well, I don't know about that. There is just so few of us because of the job description." A slightly short woman, dressed in the usual doctor attire came in. "You see, not everyone can stomach the things I see. Or break some news to certain couples," they looked at each other, as she looked at them. "Hello, my name is Dr. Carter, and you must be my patient whom I will break some sort of news," Dr. Carter glanced over to the quiet Piotr. "Boyfriend?"
"Uh, yeah. And like sorry." Kitty apologized.
"No worries child. We get that sort of stuff all the time. Mostly doctors and nurses will pass by the rooms and hear stuff like that, and frankly, they are always that person's patient." They all shared a good laugh together.
Moving right along, Dr. Carter looked over Kitty's chart as she saw that particular spot filled out. "How long ago had you had sex?"
"About Christmas," Piotr responded before Kitty.
"With him," Kitty added nervously.
"We were protected." Piotr carried on, "A latex condom."
"I see, " she tapped her pen against her chin. "Was the condom damaged before you placed it on?"
"No!" They both said urgently.
Dr. Carter reached into her lab pocket and pulled out a small, plastic container. "Could you please fill this up, and I'll bring it over for some tests." Kitty's face went pure white, she had never felt so scared as she took the little container that bore her name on it. "It'll only take a few minutes. And if you protected yourself correctly, you can go back home, lying in bed eating hot chicken noodle soup." Dr. Carter said happily.
Kitty walked out of the room, feeling very queasy from the moment she took the container. She turned the door handle that had the girl/boy picture in the middle of the blue triangle. She opened the door and as soon as she got in, the lock clicked.
Dr. Carter left Kitty and Piotr alone as she went to test Kitty's urine. "I don't know what I'll do if all this nausea is the first stage in pregnancy." Kitty weeped.
"No matter what the result, I'll still be with you," Piotr went in for a kiss but she jerked her head away.
Dr. Carter walked in now, as well as another doctor. "Kitty, this is Dr. Lewis, who specializes in pregnancies--"
"Oh God," Kitty hides her face in Piotr's chest.
"I take it that this was unplanned." Piotr tried to console Kitty.
"Maybe you should give them more time. Baby steps," after saying this, Dr. Carter thought that it wasn't the best choice of words.
Piotr patted her head softly. "We didn't expect this to happen." Dr. Lewis nodded her head with agreement. "How are we supposed to take care of a baby?"
"Well, that's what I'm here for. I read that you are 18, correct," Kitty was still silent but gave some sign of recognition. "And you are," she looked at Piotr.
"Twenty. We've been together for two years," Piotr reached over to Kitty and she began to shake.
"Listen, you seem very mature about this and responsible. There are options that you can choose from." As Dr. Lewis was about to get to the options Kitty suddenly grabbed for Piotr's hand, her nails embedding into his skin, but he barely flinched. "First is to decide whether of not you want to have the baby and second if not, then you can find a suitable home and couple who can't have children."
Kitty's chocolate-colored eyes filled with tears and her lips parted. "Can I have some time to think about this?"
"Well of course. This must be a very hard decision to make. You can make an appointment for tomorrow if you'd like." Kitty nodded her head and stepped off the exam table. Piotr reached for her purse and everyone walked out together.
Kitty waited patiently outside inthe car, too nervous to be in the clinic any longer, plus she was near tears and didn't want to cause a big scene. Pitr came back and got into the car. "I made the appointment for tommorrow at ten. Hope that's alright for you?" Kitty didn't say anything, her face was pressed against the window looking at the people still in the clinic's lobby. Piotr started the engine up and drove back to the mansion.
As Piotr pulled up the long paved driveway, Kitty rushed into the house and up to her room. Following slowly behind, Rogue stopped Piotr in the middle of the staircase. "What have ya done now to upset her?" She asked in her southern drawl. Pitr tried to pass by but Rogue stretched her arm over to block his way. "If ya'll hurt her, Ah'll be the least of your troubles. Logan is quite protective of us girls and ain't gonna take no crap from you guys, no matter how big an' tough ya are."
"I'll keep that in mind." Rogue removed her arm and walked down the rest of the steps.
Piotr walked toward Kitty's door and knocked on it gently. "Go away!" She screamed loudly.
"Katya, please, I just want to talk with you," he brought his face closer to the door. There were other voices in the room, but because it was sort of a whisper he couldn't make out who it was. Then the voices stopped and someone walked to the door, turning the knob.
Kurt walked out of the room and looked up to Piotr. "Now you really made a reason for me to hate you. How could you do this to her," he shouted that the whole hall could have heard him. "I'd watch my back is I were you, because from this day forward, you are the enemy." To show his anger, Kurt bamfed to his room leaving Piotr in anguish. Once Kurt was gone, Piotr came close to knock on Kitty's door again, but something drove him to turn around and walk away.
