Chapter 5
After waking up every morning for the last four days to Gisele kneeling by the toilet Han made an appointment for them to see a doctor, even after Gisele insisted that she was fine.
The sixth day of the same routine found Han driving Gisele to the local doctor's office, much to Gisele's annoyance.
"Gisele it's not normal for you to be this sick every single day even if you do have a bug," Han said for possibly the hundredth time since he made the appointment in the first place.
Gisele just rolled her eyes, "I'm sure it is just a bug. Han you have got to quit worrying about everything."
Han glared over at her before turning his head back to the road, "Gisele if it was just a bug you wouldn't be throwing up at pretty much the same time every single morning for the last week."
Gisele glared back at her fiance, "you and I both know that that isn't true. Bugs can affect everyone differently."
The rest of the drive was spent in tense silence as the couple held their stubborn ground.
When they arrived at the office Han helped Gisele from the car and she didn't stop him. They walked hand in hand to the reception desk inside the building they had parked in front of.
"Name?" The lady at the desk asked.
"Gisele Yashar," Han responded.
"Take a seat the doctor will be out shortly," the lady responded after looking Gisele's name up on her computer.
They sat in silence as they waited for the doctor both lost in their own thoughts.
Han, of course, was still worried that Gisele could be seriously ill and he could lose her. His mind kept pushing all of the worst possible ideas to the forefront of his mind.
Gisele had to admit to herself that she was also beginning to worry. Even though she was certain she knew what it was that was happening to her she still worried that Han's fears could be more real than she herself thought they were.
After ten minutes of waiting the doctor called Gisele's name.
The couple held each other's hands tightly as they followed the doctor to his office.
"What can I do for you today?" The doctor asked before they'd taken their seats beside his desk.
"I haven't been very well over the past few days and my fiance is worried," Gisele said evenly.
The doctor nodded, "what have been your symptoms?"
"Vomiting in the morning and occasionally throughout the day," Gisele answered.
"Anything else?" The doctor asked as he typed up notes on his computer.
"No," Gisele said firmly.
"Alright well I want to run a blood test and hopefully we'll have the results in by tomorrow and I'll do some more testing then. If I'm correct there is nothing for you to be concerned about," the doctor informed them.
Han didn't look convinced and did not like the idea of having to wait another day for answers.
"Can't we know sooner?" Han asked as the doctor began taking Gisele's blood.
"Son you'll be lucky if we get the results tomorrow, I'm putting a rush on them but it's not guaranteed. You do realise that we're in Tokyo right? Population over 13 million. Do you realise that a huge chunk of that population could be in hospitals or doctors offices across the capital and those doctors could be putting a rush on results as well? I wish I could give you results without testing but that could be dangerous. I will have my receptionist call you when the results are in. Assuming that the lab I send your fiance's blood to isn't backed up you will get a call within the next two days," the doctor spoke harshly and clearly annoyed, "look I don't mean to be harsh but kid I get people in here everyday wanting results before I can guarantee them. I understand that you are worried but you have no reason to be. Assuming my assumption is correct there is nothing to worry about. If you prefer I can refer you to a local doctor?"
Han shook his head, "no that's fine. This is the only English speaking office I could find. I might know the local language but that doesn't mean I'll trust the other person."
"Understood. Just know that there are other offices here that have English speaking doctors," the doctor spoke as Han nodded again, "now young lady all I suggest is to get some rest and let your fiance fuss."
Gisele sighed, "well I guess I can't argue with doctors orders."
The doctor chuckled before saying more seriously, "I will get my receptionist to call you when the results are in."
"Thank you," Han and Gisele said at the same time before leaving the office for their car.
For two days Han fussed over Gisele and treated her like a princess much to Gisele's frustration. He didn't let Gisele do anything for herself, not even showering. He also refused to be a lover for those two days insisting that until they knew what was wrong he wasn't going to let her do anything that could change her calm relaxation.
Something that made no sense to Gisele but she knew she had better just go with it.
As promised on the second day the receptionist called to ask them to get down to the office at their earliest convenience. Which to Han meant right that very moment.
As they pulled into the carpark Gisele began to feel uneasy, she hadn't been worried but seeing as it had taken the better part of two days to get the results she couldn't help but worry now. In her heart Gisele knew that nothing could be wrong as they would have been told to drop everything and get there immediately, even though that was exactly what Han had them do. In her mind Gisele couldn't stop the fears from creeping in.
As soon as they walked into the building they were told to go straight to the doctor's office.
The doctor had a smile on his face when they entered, something that eased their fears slightly, "it's good to see you both again. Take a seat on the bed for me Gisele."
Gisele did as asked and Han stood beside her holding her hand. The smile didn't leave the doctor's face as he pulled a machine up beside the bed and asked Gisele to lift her shirt up. Gisele did as asked as Han squeezed her hand slightly tighter. Neither of the couple seemed to understand what was happening, something that the doctor had put down to their fears of the worst.
"Alright, I'm going to squeeze a cold substance onto your stomach Gisele," the doctor said and after seeing her nod he did as he said he would.
Then the doctor placed an instrument, that was linked to the machine, along Gisele's stomach.
"Watch the monitor," the doctor instructed.
The couple did as they were told and noticed a small spot on the screen, barely larger than a pea. Smiles instantly spread across their faces as they realised what they were looking at.
"Congratulations," the doctor said before pointing to the spot, "this is your baby."
A/N: That concludes this story. There will of course be a sequel to this. Look out for it: Stand By You. In the meantime let me know what you want to see happen next :-)
