Claudia woke that morning for the third day in a row feeling like she had the flu. I need to get to the doctors if this flu doesn't get better, Claudia thought to herself.
"Claudie, are you ok in there?"
"I'm fine John."
"Well you've been sick the past few mornings, maybe you need to just go to the hospital and get checked out."
"If I go will you leave me alone already?"
Claudia quickly got dressed and she and Johnny headed over to GH.
"Ms. Zacchara, I'm Dr. Hunter, what seems to be the matter?"
"I think it must be the flu because I've been sick the past three mornings."
"Well let's get some blood and check your vital signs and see what's going on with you."
Great! Nurse Crowell! How lucky am I?
"Ms. Zacchara, I'm just going to prick you for a minute and get that blood."
"How's Nicholas?"
"Fine, I guess…" "Okay that should do it." "Let's get your vital signs checked."
Claudia didn't see the point of making small talk and just got to it. "If you like him, why don't you just tell him."
"I really don't think …. This really doesn't involve you Ms. Zacchara, I don't see the point of you asking."
"Listen here little girl, I don't hide things when I see them. I call them as they are. And I can see you like him but you shouldn't play games or hide behind your quiet personality. If you want him, you tell him. I'm sure I wouldn't mind him for myself…BUT…I won't try. Not that I would need to."
"Nurse Crowell, do you have everything?" Matt walked in and just wanted Nadine out of his way.
"Yes doctor. I do."
"Ms. Zacchara, the tests shouldn't take long. If you don't mind waiting."
"That's fine."
"Nurse Crowell, send them off and ask for results as soon as possible." Matt headed out as quick as he could. He didn't want to be near Nadine if he could help it.
"Claudia, any news?" Johnny had noticed that everyone had left so he thought he'd try to find out what was going on.
"Just have to wait for my test results. But I'm sure everything is just fine."
About 30 minutes went by and Dr. Hunter returned with a folder in his hand.
"Would you like to speak alone?"
"No I have nothing to hide from my brother."
"Well, it looks like your haemoglobin is low and your calcium levels could be a little higher but with some prenatal vitamins that will help a great deal."
"With my what?!"
"Mrs. Zacchara, you are pregnant."
