Jazmine woke up very early. She streched out her arms happily and bounded up onto her feet. She wondered if Huey was up yet. Forcing back a smile, she tip toed around the condo, her speed quickening when she heard a running water sound coming from the bathroom. The door was open and she could see the shadow of Huey standing under another tiny water fall... only this one was big enough to play in.

It reminded her of a small brook by her village where she would play with the other children when she was young. How fun!

She jumped in the shower, pulled at the curtain. She lost her footing, not realizing how slippery it was. She heard Huey yelp and turned around to look at him, her eyes instantly going down to where she realized he was completely naked.

"I...!"

There was a moment of silence for a split second, as if both sides were trying to process what was happening. Finally, Huey broke the silence.

"Ja-JA-JAZMINE! This is a ONE PERSON PLACE!"

Jazmine stumbled out of the shower, her eyes wide. Her clothes and hair stuck to skin like a second layer. Her face burned red as she ran to her room, shouting an apology to her host who was left to be shocked and rather awkward in the shower. She plunged herself onto her bed, trying to hide under the covers.

Oh she was in for it now. Yes, she was sure of it. He had screamed at her. He would storm in there any moment now and punish her, just like they always did. Oh, she hoped he would understand it was a mistake and not hit so hard. She hated getting beat, but understood it was just the way live was.

"Jazmine?" He heard him calling from down the hall. She held her breath and shut her eyes tight. Maybe he wouldn't find her.

"Jazmine?" He called again. He was closer. Suddenly, she heard footsteps in her room and she bit her lip tightly and held her breath. Suddenly, she felt a cold breeze and a weight being lifted as the covers were picked up off of her, "Jazmine...?"

"I am so sorry!" She wailed, tears streaming from her hurt filled eyes, "It... it was an accident! I thought it was a game... I... I am sorry! I didn't mean to see you unarmored!" She was trembling in fear, and yet she sat up, pulling up her, or should I say, his, shirt to expose herself, "I will take my punishment, however," She let the shirt rest just under her chest, revealing her flat tummy and... nether regions. Huey tucked her shirt down quickly and gave her a puzzled gaze. Before he got it down, however, he noticed severe bruises on her upper legs and stomach.

"Woah, I was just surpirsed, Jazmine," He told her hastily, "It's... not that big of a deal,"

"But I witnessed you exposed! You are not enraged by my ignorance?"

"You didn't know any better," He said thoughtfully,

"So you're not gonna hit me?" She clutched her knees to her chest and looked at him with those big green eyes and shrugged her shoulders.

"What? Why would you... No. No, I would... no. I would never hit you, Jazmine," He told her sweetly. He draped a hand over her cheek, staring deep into her half shut eyes that popped open, obviously not used to so much physical contact. A tear rolled out and dripped on his hand. She seemed so helpless... so frail. He felt a lump form in his throat. What a hard life she must have led.

Jazmine shut her eyes and placed her handon top of his, rubbing her cheek into his cool palm. When she opened her eyes, she saw Huey giving her the most sympathetic look she had ever seen.

"Thank you," She muttered lowly.

"Uh... we should... get ready. Your appointment is in an hour,"

"What should I wear?" she asked, not sure what was customary to wear to a doctor in america. Huey walked her over to the closet by the door and pulled it open. She gasped at the sight. American clothes!

"I got these before you woke up. They should fit you... if not, we can just buy you more," He confessed, "Sorry it's not too many but I figured well... we'd have to get some bigger stuff when uh..."

She didn't hear him, she was busy tearing at the gut of the closet, pulling out things that made her coo with excitement. Huey smiled and took out a blouse and a matching skirt, tossing them on the bed. He would have to explain matching to her later on. He was desperate to get her to a pharmacy.

He smiled at her and let himself out.

oOOoOOoOOoOOooOOooOooOooO

"Miss. Jazmine? The doctor will see you now,"

"Thank God," Huey heaved, getting up. Jazmine stood and followed him into the cheery hall way. Her nose was crinkled as she leaned in to whisper.

"Huey, why does it smell so odd in this place?"

"It's because it's very, very clean," Huey explained, "It's a good smell, I promise,"

Jazmine decided to just accept this and followed him happily down the hall. Once they reached the place, Huey caught his breath when he realized the doctor was exactly who he had scheduled for.

"Well hello, Huey," The woman said icely, "Long time no see,"

"Ah-Amie... hey! God, am I glad to see you,"

"You asked for me,"

"I know but just because a doctor is requested means nothing now adays," He grumbled warningly.

"Oh, are you still crying about that silly prostate exa-"

Huey cut her off by clearing his throat heavily. She just smiled and looked at Jazmine curiously. Jazmine's eyes were bug shot and her mouth was agape. She bowed her head tightly, her lip being victim to the harshities of her teeth.

"This must be the patient?" Amie asked sweetly.

"Yes, uh... Dr. Clark, this is Jazmine. She's the one I told you about,"

"I figured so," Amie said thoughtfully, "Well, any friend of Huey's is allowed to call me Amie. It's lovely to meet you, Jazmine,"

"You are a woman... and a doctor?" Jazmine was amazed, a smile growing on her lips, "What a great country this must be! Your husband must be of great caliber,"

Huey looked at Amie who just smiled and pulled her gloves on tight. She gestured to the large bench that doctors have people sit on for check ups.

"I understand you're here for a test,"

"To see if I am sick,"

"A little... lesson would be nice, too," Huey coughed delicately. When Amie looked at him with puzlement, he coughed again, "timeofthemonth,"

"Uh huh," Amie nodded, "Okay Huey, you may go,"

"right," Huey nodded, turning for the door. Jazmine jumped, her panic coming back.

"You're leaving?"

"He'll be right outside the door, won't you, Huey?"

Jazmine looked at Huey desperately. Huey gave her a calm stare and nodded casually, "I'll be just an ear shot away, I swear,"

Jazmine had to comply. She just sat back on her seat and stared down at her bare knees.

Amie smiled at Jazmine as soon as Huey left and held out a cotton swab, "Open up for me, please," Jazmine's mouth instantly popped open and allowed the medical advisor to run the swab over the inside of her mouth. (okay, idk what else is done to check for STDS and such... so we're gonna skip to AFTER the check up)

OoOooOOoOoOOOoOoOO

Huey startled up when Jazmine stepped out of the room. She smiled gently at Huey and threw her hands behind her back, "She wants to talk to you,"

Huey stepped inside the room, looking at Amie with worry on his face.

"It's weird, Huey," She said casually, tucking a test tube in a rack, "But I don't think she has it... I wont know for sure for another week or so,"

"I appreciate this, Amie,"

"You should," She said in her monotone voice, she eyed Huey with a smirk, "I didn't believe you on the phone,"

"I dunno what I'm gonna do about this, honestly,"

"DO what you think is right," She just said simply. She turned to smile at him devilishly, "Cindy had some choice words about you last night,"

"I figured you'd already heard," Huey mused to himself, "I really, really appreciate this. All of this,"

"Well, if it makes you feel any better... I totally see your side of this one," Amie smiled. Her facial expression changed with her topic conversation, "I gave Jazmine some supplies and made sure she knows how to use them. My firm will call sometime next week with her results,"

OoOooOOoOO about a week later!! oOOoOOoO

"Tuh-heh-"

"No, T and H together make Thhhh," Huey told her gently, "The,"

"Uh huh. The Kuh-kuh-cat IiiIiiISSS-is- is ssawphhht...ss-aww-pht... Soft! Soft! The cat is soft!" She read, laughing to herself. Huey smiled at her and let her bounce around on the couch again. She jumped around the living room, waving the book around triumphantly, "I did it! I read! I read!"

She flopped right back down on the couch and tossed a pillow in the air, "Thank you so much! I am... smart now!"

Huey was about to inform her that she was smart to begin with, but his phone rang. He pointed his finger at her to stay put until he returned and he picked up the reciever.

"Hello,"

"Mr. Freeman? This is Angela from Mr. Clark's office,"

"Oh.."

"We have Jazmine's results back,"
