Hey guys, Sorry this took so long... I have been doing ten assingments and have had like five tests to study for. Anyway Here it is , I hope you all like it.
Parker looked around at the strange pictures of woman on the wall. She had never seen anything stranger in her life and she had seen some pretty strange stuff over her years of being in hospitals. Parker looked around the room as she went into her own trail of thought. The office she was in had a lot of light and white coloured furniture. Too much white coloured furniture if you asked her. Hidden and empty spaces were her style, not open floor planned offices. As she sat down in the office a tingle went up her spine. The soft and refined yet cold and untouched couch rubbed up against her back. Her train of thought was broken by Sophie's soft words that seemed loud at the time. "How are you doing there Parker? It is normal to be nervous" she asked in her mothering voice. She placed a hand on Parkers shoulder. Parker shook it off. "I am feeling a bit sick" Parker replied innocently. "Why, how am I supposed to feel when I am pregnant?" Parker crossed her arms and turned to face the wall as she pouted like a child. Sophie frowned at Parker's decision. "Parker" she asks again more forcefully this time. "I don't like doctors' offices and I don't like this appointment" Parker looked strait Sophie momentarily and then sulked again. "I know you didn't want to come to the doctor but it is very important for you and your child and for the duration that you are pregnant and even when the child is born. I know it is tough but you will go to these doctor's appointments whether you like it or not!" Sophie said in a surprisingly harsh tone to Parker as she eyed the thief. She knew Parker was thinking up an escape route and Sophie knew she wasn't quick enough to catch her. It was in Parker's DNA that is something wasn't comfortable than you leave in the fastest way possible. Yes with time she had gotten better and learned more to trust people but it was instinct. It was a reflex that she couldn't help. Parker jumped out of her chair and was making her way to the window (without a harness) just as the doctor walked in. "Miss Deveraux and Miss Parker I assume" said the Doctor as she walked through the door. "Please, take a seat" The doctor walked over to her rather tidy desk and sat down comfortably in her black, office chair. Sophie looked at Parker with a death stare and Parker reluctantly walked over and sat back down with a pout on her face. "Now, I see you have come here today to check for pregnancy for Miss Parker. Am I correct?" Dr Haley said while readings off the long folder she had in front of her. She glared up at the two of them. "Yes" Sophie gestured to Parker to speak up. Parker was never short of something to say but for once in a while she was being incredibly quiet. "Basically, I had sex a while ago and we used protection but it seems to not have worked." Parker said confidently and innocently. She smiled up at how proud she was of her explanation before a moment of doubt came over her. "That was what I was supposed to say right" Parker asked as she looked up at Sophie with a facial expression not even she could read. Sophie stared at Parker and decided it was time to step in the conversation. "Basically she has been sick every morning, missed her period, and her breasts are really tender. She had a pregnancy test and it came back positive". She said to the woman to clarify what Parker had just said. Even though Parker spoke English and possibly other languages too she was sometimes the hardest and most complicated person in the world to understand. "I would also like to be tested. Just to be on the safe side. I have had a relationship with someone and I just want to be tested to make sure I am definitely not pregnant. I also used protection but haven't taken a pregnancy test." Sophie said softly. She and Parker had an agreement that anything that Parker had to do Sophie would have to have the same done. Deep down Sophie knew she couldn't be pregnant, she had been so careful, but for Parkers sake she thought she would go along with it as it may give the girl some ease. "Ok, well I will definitely run an ultra-sound on you both and we will take it from there, so I will just lead you through and you can both get changed into some gowns. I will also just get you Miss Deveraux to fill out some paperwork while I pull up your file." The doctor said calmly as she picked up Parkers file and walked out of the room. Butterflies filled Parker's stomach as she said this coldly. The doctor smiled a weak smile and walked out of the office. Parker just stared at Sophie wide eyed and confused. This was one day that she was going to remember whether she liked it or not.
Parker and Sophie walked down the long corridor passing many doors. The sound of Sophie's heels banging against the floor filled the air. They were like symbols clashing. Parker was once again in a day dreamed state. These walls were so white and she couldn't help but wonder what all of the other offices were used for. Sophie was for some reason in a different state of mind when they finally they ended up at the last door. Like the office parker noticed that it was very light in colour. A strange smell of musk filled the air. "Here is the room that we will run the tests in. Just go in and I will be right with you." Parker hesitated before walking into the rather spacious room. It was darker than the last. No windows, no keypad. She wondered how they kept their stuff safe, though from Parker's judgement there wasn't much to steal. There was an examination table with a silver tray next to it and a whole lot of white cupboards with silver handle up against the walls. In the room there was a small desk with three chairs around it. It was brightly decorated with light streaming in from the windows and a yellow, and orange striped, material lounge sweet. There was a a light brown coffee table in the middle of the room with the lounge that had some pink plastic flowers in them. The room was filled with a musky smell that grew stronger as they approached the change rooms. "Now you two get changed and I will get everything ready out here" said the doctor as she shut the curtains on both sides and walked away. Parker just stared at the gown. She hated hospitals and doctors. Some of her worst memories were there and she can't remember how many times she has had to put on a gown like this one and go through the process of having scans done. Slowly and reluctantly she got the gown on. It was cold and the draft from having a short skirt on the gown went up her back and gave her a chill. By the time they got out the examination bed was prepped. Parker was up first. She jumped up on the table in an upright position, swaying her legs back and forth with a blank look on her face. "Now I will just get you to lie down on your back. The gel will be a little cold and uncomfortable but no pain. If you need me to stop at any point then just let me know". The doctor informed as she opened the gown a little and squirted the cold gel on her stomach. "That's very cold" exclaimed Parker as she shivered slightly. The hold that Sophie had on Parkers hand grew tighter when she said this. Sophie really cared for Parker and was probably the closest thing to a true mother that she has. "Ok, well everything seems to be normal. There was a pause for a moment. Sometimes it can take a little bit of time to find anything, but by the looks of it there was no time at all wasted. There is something right there. See it's a baby! The doctor squeaked happily. Parker and Sophie gasped in sequence. Parker kept still, very still. Sophie was pretty sure that parker had either stopped breathing or she was really good at holding her breath and in Parkers situation, both would be valid responses from her. Finally she let out a big sigh without moving much. Looking down at her stomach the best she could from a lying down angle she poked at her belly. "I still can't believe that there is a baby inside of me." Parker whispered to Sophie as she stared at her stomach. The picture froze on the screen and the Dr cleaned Parker's stomach from the gel. "Now just take a seat in the lounge over there and we will discuss your options after this. I will also draw some blood to make sure that you are in healthy condition. This is so that we can check yours and the baby's health". Parker very happily sat up off the table and looked at Sophie. Jumping off the table like a wild thing Parker jogged over to the couch and sat down. "Wait" The smile off Parkers face dropped to a frown. "How do you get the blood out? I mean like HOW?" She was very nervous now. She didn't like drugs, one for the reason being that it makes her slower than usual and that was not something she could afford in her line of work, but the other was because she didn't like injections. She had some very painful experience with injections and it was one thing that she didn't like. "Well, we give you a needle and" the doctor was cut off. "Nope, I am not having any needles, you have confirmed that there is a baby in me and that's it!" Parker crossed her arms. She didn't like needles and that was that. "Ok, well we will let you rest on that couch and then we will see how you go". Sophie had been very quiet through this. She didn't want to inter fear with Parker knowing that she was already uncomfortable in this situation if anything else happened she would be out the door before Sophie could say stop. Next Sophie hopped up on the table. She had no doubt that she wasn't pregnant. She had been taking birth control pills and Nate had used protection too so it really wasn't an option. The cold gel poured over Sophie's stomach too and she held very still while the Dr ran the ultrasound. "I can't see anything for the moment. If you were pregnant you would have only started this morning and I can't tell from that soon. If anything changes you can give me a call and I will slot you in immediately". The doctor shut off the ultra-sound machine and cleaned off Sophie's stomach. "Now since you don't like needles I will leave it for today. Book an appointment for about a month and let me know if anything changes." Said the doctor. She insisted that they both get changed now and Parker very much agreed. She really hated this strange gown and office an everything that went with that experience. They both went back in the change rooms and quickly got changed back into their tight fitting clothes. Parker was relieved to be back in her normal clothes. When they were both done they hurried out of the change rooms and to the front desk. "Can I make an appointment for Parker in one month?" Sophie questioned to the well-mannered receptionist. Sophie tugged Parker's arm to bring out of her day- dreaming state again. She assumed that Parker was doing this so that she didn't have to face reality. "Sure, How about the 14/4/12. We have one opening available at 4pm. Is that ok with you?" The receptionist asked. She was staring at Parker now. The girl hadn't spoken one word since she complained about needles and Sophie was doing all the work. "That's fine" Sophie gestured to Parker to walk as she headed for the front door. This was going to be an interesting ride home.
So what did you guys think? Should I make Sophie pregnant too or would that be too much? Thoughs and opinions would be great:) :) :)
