The doctor gave a nod, as she noticed the unsettling exchange between the pair, but didn't comment on it. She got up from the desk and grabbed a gown from the nearby hook and handed it to Danielle,

"Ok, why don't you go behind the screen and we can get you checked out".

Panic once again rise within Danielle, she didn't feel emotionally stable enough to go through this.

" It's ok baby, I'll be right here" Ronnie gave Danielle's hand a small squeeze in order to give her daughter some sort of strength.

Ronnie watched as Danielle made her way to the other side of the room, her head buried into her shoulders, she looked like a lost child.

Dr. Andrews smiled awkwardly at Ronnie, almost trying to read her. She puzzled her, she didn't look old enough to be Danielle's mother but it was the guard she surrounded herself with, which intrigued her most, she was cold and had a hardened surface but every time she looked at her daughter, the icy surface disappeared.

A knock cam on the door, to which Dr. Andrews came out of her thoughts.

"Come in" She smiled at Ronnie, a smile that was mixed with reassurance and sympathy.

A smiley woman entered the room, dressed smartly in a black suit covered by a white doctors jacket. Before Ronnie could question who this other doctor was and why she was there, Danielle appeared from behind the curtain and was shuffling uncomfortably, still with her head to the ground not wanting the pitying looks which she was expecting to be given.

"Aw Danielle, your ready. This is Doctor o' Connor, she is the hospitals finest gynaecologist. If you want to take a seat up on the bed here I will let her explain the procedure to you and your mum." she glanced between the pair offering comfort in her voice, making sure they knew exactly what was to take place.

Danielle sent Ronnie a look of uncertainty, to which she responded by rushing to her daughters side not a word needing to be said. Ronnie wrapped her arm over the shoulder of her daughter pulling her close and giving her a light kiss on her forehead.

Danielle breathed in her mothers smell so much comfort was held in that smell - it calmed her, prepared her almost.

Ronnie guided her daughter to the bed, which Dr. Andrews had gestured to and held her hand refusing to let go as Danielle made herself comfortable.

Dr. o' Connor made her way over to the two blondes offering Ronnie a chair as she did so.

"Ok Danielle, we are just going to make sure everything is ok and look for traces of sperm that may remain. Can I ask Danielle have you showered since the incident?" She questioned as she glanced up from the notes Dr. Andrews had made, trying to fill the holes in the history she had being given.

Danielle gave a small nod, feeling guilty for doing so.

Dr. o' Connor sighed, this was going to make her job more difficult but she had seen it happen so many times, she couldn't' blame them really.

"it's ok Danielle" she smiled reassuringly.

"ok Danielle, do you want to just place your feet into these, if at any point you feel uncomfortable please say so." as she pointed to the metal foot stands at the bottom of the bed. Danielle looked at her mother fear rising in her eyes but did as she was told once again feeling exposed and vulnerable. It pained Ronnie to see her daughter is such a fragile and exposed state, she squeezed Danielle's hand offering her the reassurance she needed.

"look in my eye's baby" Ronnie whispered, as Danielle did so seeing the love within them, she focused on her mother love blocking out everything else that was occurring.

Ronnie squirmed as she heard the doctor explain how she would use a gel and take swabs and samples. It made Ronnie uncomfortable to say the least but she gazed lovingly at her daughter blocking out the awkwardness in order to be the rock that Danielle needed.

"Everything is going to be ok baby, we are going to begin anew, me and you living together as mother and daughter" Danielle's eyes welled up, this was all she had ever wanted. Her mum actually wanting her, caring for her but the sadness within her heart engulfed any happiness she may have felt.

The room filled with silence as Ronnie sat stroking her daughter's hair, giving little soothing whispers every now and again for reassurance.

"I'm right here baby, everything is going to be ok." Ronnie felt sick when she heard the doctor say something about combing for hairs, she had managed to block everything out apart from Danielle but every now and then the doctors word would slip through the filter causing an upheaval in Ronnie's insides.

Danielle felt exposed and violated she closed her eyes letting the darkness absorb her, as a single tear escaped falling onto her mothers hand which was now stroking gently on her cheek. Ronnie felt her heard stop seeing her little girl broken and hurt.

"Are you nearly finished?" Ronnie questioned trying to be strong but her voice trembled with hurt.

"I want to take her home" Ronnie stated adamantly gaining strength as she noticed Danielle look at her pleadingly.

"I'm just finishing up now" Dr. o' Connor stated, feeling extremely relieved, it was one of the few processes she found difficult to separate herself from, it pained her to see these young women have their lives ripped apart.

She gave Ronnie a small smile as she watched her reassure her daughter, to see her support she felt comforted that Danielle would get past this.
