It was the following week and Ange had decided to take Kisaiya to the doctors. She wanted the girl to get a full physical and check her medical records. She just needed to know everything about the girl.

Ange phoned at 8 o'clock sharp and was able to get an appointment for 9. She was glad it was early so the girl wouldn't miss much school and she shouldn't be too late for her shift that started at 10.

"But I'll make you late for work" Kisaiya said worriedly.

"Don't you worry about that" Ange said. She had booked a double slot knowing it was going to take a while. She just wanted the girl to get a thorough check over. Ange encouraged the girl back into her bedroom to get ready. Kisaiya looked back at her aunt but nodded and continued getting ready.

Once they were both ready, they clambered into the car and drove to the doctor's office.

"Auntie Ange, will you come in with me?" Kisaiya asked nervously.

"Of course I will, don't you worry about that" Ange said smiling softly at the girl. They got out the car and went into the surgery. She noticed how nervous the girl was and gently held her hand. Kisaiya smiled at her aunt, the woman was becoming better and better at reading the girl. This was a relieve on both of them.

It wasn't long before they were called into the room and the doctor greeted them. Ange had opted for a female doctor as she was aware of the negative experiences Kisaiya had with males.

"Hello and what can I do to help today?" She said. She was a young doctor and instantly made Kisaiya feel relaxed.

"So Kisaiya has just moved from Scotland, I don't know her medical records and I just wanted her to have an up to date medical. Then there is something else I'd like to mention too" Ange said and Kisaiya looked at her aunt concerned. So many things were going through her head and she just couldn't work out what her aunt was going to say. The doctor noticed the change in Kisaiya and looked at Ange.

"Sweetie, it's nothing to worry about" Ange said but Kisaiya wasn't sure. She froze and panicked.

"Hey, shall we speak about it first" Ange asked.

"I don't know what you are going to say" Kisaiya said and Ange nodded. She should have spoken to the girl about it previously but she had been in such a rush this morning. Ange leaned forward and whispered into Kisaiya's ear. Kisaiya nodded and allowed Ange to start.

"Do you want to explain?" Ange asked. She knew that this was Kisaiya's story but she knew that the girl wouldn't talk without a prompt and a strong prompt.

"So Kisaiya is attending counselling due to a previous assault but I think, well I'm nearly completely sure that she is suffering PTSD. She is having very vivid nightmares which are really affecting her sleep" Ange explained. The doctor nodded and looked at Kisaiya.

"What is it that you are dreaming about?" The doctor asked.

"I'm just reliving what happened over and over again and it's making me feel so sick" Kisaiya explained and she grabbed her aunt's hand as support. The doctor nodded. They spoke in more depth about what she was feeling and decided to give her some medication to help her. The medication was only temporary as they hoped that the weekly counselling lessons will help with this. Ange was to phone the counsellor and ensure that she concentrates on improving the PTSD.

Once they had sorted that out, they moved onto the physical. She took Kisaiya's weight and height before asking her some questions.

"Have you started your periods?" She asked and Kisaiya shook her head and the doctor nodded.

"We've spoken about it all and my daughter who is also a doctor felt her stomach and thinks that it won't be too long" Ange butted in. The doctor nodded.

"It's not a worry just now. You are only 12 and you are quite petite as well. Don't worry if things start being uneven such as one breast growing more than the other, etc that is all normal" The doctor explained and they both nodded. She asked some further questions before declaring that she was happy.

"All I can say is to continue what you are doing because it seems things are going in the right direction. You are both doing fantastically" the doctor said and both Ange and Kisaiya smiled. They said their goodbyes and headed to the car.

"I am so proud of you sweetie" Ange said and Kisaiya smiled.

"Can I just get a hug?" Kisaiya asked softly and Ange smiled and nodded.

"Of course you can. Come here" Ange said as she pulled her niece into her arms and just held her.

"You are doing so well" Ange said "And you are just carrying on with school without a single issue and I really admire you"

Kisaiya smiled. She really did thrive on making people proud of her. She tried so much with her mother but she never did enough. It was wearing but her mother just didn't care. She could feel such a difference in her whole view of life due to the support her aunt offered her.

"Auntie Ange, can I live with you until I'm 18?" Kisaiya asked nervously.

"Of course you can. Don't you dare ever worry about that again" Ange said and Kisaiya smiled. Permanency that's all she's ever wanted in life and finally at the age of 12, she was getting that.
