"Hello Mr and Mrs Wicks, Im Doctor Baxter. How are you feeling, Mrs Wicks?", He asked Carol who tried to smile but fear was overcoming her. "What did my test results say?", She asked, her voice trembling, David took a tight grip of her hand and kissed it gently, then the doctor spoke, "We will need to do a urine sample to determine what caused your fainting, just so we can be absolutely certain about your diagnosis." He said professionally and Carol got of the bed, was given a small plastic container and was led to a cubicle. Bianca and Sonya held each others hand while david began biting his nails. Then Doctor Baxter turned to them, ""If you could just go and wait in the waiting area, then you can come back in when she's finished." They all obeyed him and left the room.
"Whats the matter with her?", Maxs voice was full of fear at the thought of Carols cancer returning, David shrugged, "We dont know until the doctor does further tests, now shut up Max, your making me nervous!", he hissed and Max sighed and leaned back against the chair. After a while, David asked a passing nurse, "Can i go in and see my wife?" and the nurse nodded, "Of course you can." and David went back into the room. Carol was sitting in front of the doctors desk, her hands shaking and her eyes looking at the floor, David went to her and grabbed her hand, "Carol, now matter what happens, i will be there for you, i will because i love you so much.", he whispered and Carol rested her head on his shoulder, "I'm so scared David." she said quietly. At last the doctor came in, he sat at his desk and looked at Carol, "Mrs Wicks, is there something your not telling your husband?", he questioned and Carol shook her head, not realising where this was heading, "No, why?", Doctor Baxter took of his glasses, "Whats wrong with Carol?" David asked, The doctor stared straight at them, "The reason your Wife has been experiencing the symptoms she has is because shes pregnant." David and Carol stared at the Doctor, open mouthed and couldnt believe what had been said. "I cant be pregnant, ive only just beaten cancer, its very rare i get my periods and im fifty one years old." Carol said, trying to offer a valid explanation but the Doctor shook his head, "Mrs Wicks, all the tests weve done have come back the same. We also discovered that you are already eight weeks pregnant. Now, we do a support group for moms over forty but there are other alternatives as well." David didnt speak, shock and fear had completely taken over and Carol was starting to worry that he would walk away from her but instead he took her hand. "We need to do a scan to see if the feotus is developing well, could you please come this way, Mrs Wicks?" The doctor said and Carol followed slowly, "Would you wait outside Mr Wicks?", The Doctor asked and David nodded, never feeling so terrified in his life.
"What's wrong with Mom?, Sonya asked and David smiled at her but it was more of a grimace, "She's fine, there's nothing to worry about", he lied and Sonya and Bianca breathed a sigh of relief, "So Nanas ok?", Tiffany asked and David nodded, hugging her to him. Then, Max stood up, "Right, if she's alright then im going back to work."He said in an annoyed voice and David stuck his fingers up at him behind his back which Liam laughed at. He sat back in the waiting chair, "We'll go then, if moms alright.", Bianca said and she kissed David's cheek and she linked arms with Sonya and signalled for Tiffany, Liam and Morgan to follow, she also made a note to reassure Whitney about what happened. At last, after what seemed like ages, Carol came out, the colour drained from her face as she carried a small picture which David knew was the scan of their baby. He immediately hugged her tenderly but deep down he had never been so terrified in his life. Shock had completely taken over.
