Abnormal Ch. 5
(A WEEK LATER/Katie's POV)
"Daddy" I cry as I run to his office. He's standing in the door.
"What's wrong?" he asks.
"It's not coming" I cry as I hug him. He rubs my back. He moves us into his office and closes the door. He sit's me down on the couch and goes over to his desk and pick up his office phone.
"Hello Rebecca this is Carlisle, Katie's period hasn't come and she has been taking the pills" Daddy says into the phone.
"Ok yes I will tell her thank you Rebecca." Daddy says and hangs up.
"Sweetheart, Rebecca said that if you don't get your period by the end of the month then we should be worried. A week is an estimate but it can take longer" Daddy says as he rubs my shoulders. I nod and lean into him He wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead.
"Shh our ok" he says softly. I nod and close my eyes.
"Honey can I do an ultrasound while you're in here?" daddy asks and I nod. I sit up and daddy gets up.
"Just lay down sweetie pie" He says and goes to get the machine. I lay down on the couch and look at the ceiling.
Daddy come back with the machine and plugs it in. He sits on a stool. I pull my shirt up and he squirts the gel on my belly. He moves the wand around and clicks a button on the machine.
"Well sweetheart it seems to be getting bigger" He says as he hands me a towel. I wipe the gel off and sit up.
"What does that mean?" I ask.
"This might be why you're not getting your period still." He says and kisses my forehead. I nod and curl up. He hands me a book knowing I want stay close.
He puts the machine away and then grabs a book form his desk and sits on the couch next to me.
(Three weeks later)
"Honey?" mommy asks from the other side of my door. I don't answer I keep crying.
"Honey can I come in?" she asks.
"I don't care" I get out between the sobs. She opens the door and sees my calendar on the desk.
"Oh honey" she says and sits next to me.
"Mommy why didn't it come" I cry
"Shh I don't know sweetheart, let me go call your father" she says and I nod and she leaves. I lay down on my bed and curl up in a ball. Mommy comes back in.
"Honey he's going to talk to Dr. Kay and then he will come home" She says and I nod. She hugs me and wipes away the tears.
"Shh sweetheart it's ok" She coos and rock us side to side.
"How about we go downstairs to the kitchen and I'll make you a triple chocolate sundae?" she asks and i nod and wipe my nose.
She takes my hand and guides me downstairs. Rose look up at me sadly. I try to smile but it fails. Mommy takes me to the kitchen and I sit down on the bar stool. Mommy makes me my sundae and gives it to me.
I slowly start eating it. When I finish I go back upstairs but i don't go to my room. I walk to daddy's office and lay down on the couch. I don't know how long I was laying there until the door opens.
"Katie" daddy says and I turn over so im facing him.
"Oh honey" he says and comes over to me. I sit up and he sits next me. I lean into his side.
"Honey tomorrow I'm going to bring you to the hospital with me, on my lunch we will go to dr. Kay's with the ultrasound images I'm going to take tonight" He says and I nod.
"Daddy can rose come with tomorrow?" I ask.
"Of course sweetie pie" He says and gets up. I lay down and sigh. He's been doing ultrasounds every week. I lift my shirt up and he squirts the gel on my tummy. I look at the ceiling as he looks at the machine and takes images of the cyst. He wipes my tummy off and I continue to just lay there. Daddy picks me up and carries me to my room. He lays me down in my bed and kisses my forehead.
"Honey jut sleep you've had an emotional couple hours" he says. He leaves but come back in a minute with his work briefcase. He sits at my desk and start to work on hospital paper work. I curl into a ball and fall asleep.
(Carlisle's POV)
I turn and look at my daughter who was fast asleep.
"Carlisle" esme says from the door. I motion her to come in.
"You worried" she says and I nod and turn. She sits in the chair by Katie's bed.
"Rebecca is going to do another exam tomorrow and I think Katie knows and that's why she asked for rose since you're going out hunting" I say and look into her pitch black eyes.
"Her cyst is worrying me and Rebecca, we might need to go in surgically and remove it" I say.
"You know she won take to that" she says.
"I know she's afraid of surgery" I say.
"Maybe you should get some sleep" esme says.
"No I'm going to stay in here and keep an eye over her" I say and esme nods. She stands up and kisses me before leaving. I turn back to my paper work.
(Katie's POV/ next day at hospital)
I was back in a stupid hospital gown and a sheet over my legs. Daddy was in the hallway waiting while rose stayed with me.
"OK Katie just like last time except I'm only preforming an internal exam" She says and I nod and scoot my butt to the end of the table and put my feet in the stirrups.
"Ready?" Dr. Kay asks and I nod. I look at the ceiling as she checks my one ovary then moves to the painful one. Even though she is using a gentle touch tears fall down my cheeks. Rose rubs my arms.
"OK Katie get dressed and then we will move this to my office."Dr. Kay says as she pulls back and takes of her gloves. She leaves the room and I quickly put my underwear on and pants. Rose wraps her arm around me and we walk into the hallway.
We walk to dr. kay's office and daddy is already there sitting on the couch. Rose lets me go and I sit next to him and rose sits in a chair next to the couch. Dr. Kay moves one of the chairs facing her desk and sit in it.
"Your cyst is getting bigger and that's the reason you're not getting your period." She says and I nod.
"The best option is to surgically remove the cyst from your ovary" Dr. Kay says and I start to cry. Daddy quickly wraps his arms around me and pulls me onto his lap. I sob into his chest.
"Also while you're under i want to preform a D&C to get out all that built up ling in your uterus" Dr. Kay says. I hold onto daddy.
"It's ok honey, I'll be right next to you as you go under and I'll be right next to you when you wake up" he says.
"Katie you will only be out for maybe three hours at most. And when you wakeup we will keep you maybe for two hours then you can go home" Dr. Kay says and I shake my head no.
"Honey don't you want to have children?" Daddy asks and I nod.
"Then this is your best option" he says as he kisses my forehead.
"Carlisle we can always do two procedures if that's going to make her comfortable. We can do the D and C here in my office and she can have an epidural or local anesthetic and you can stay with her and then we can do the Cyst removal another day, it's jut easier if we do it at once" Dr. Kay says.
"Honey what do you want to do?" Daddy says softly. I just hold onto him and bury my face into his chest.
"Come on honey none of that talk to me" he says softly.
"Neither" I cry.
"Honey you need to, do I need to make this decision for you?" he asks.
"Kat look at me" rose says and I pick up my head.
"You know dad won't let anything bad happen to you correct?" rose says and I nod.
"Honey you do not need to be afraid, will you recover and we will all be here for you" She says and I nod.
"OK" I say and look at daddy. "Do you want to get this done at once?" he asks and I nod.
"OK let me look at my schedule and see when I have open time for surgery" Dr. Kay says as she gets up and goes to her desk. Daddy kisses my forehead.
"How about Friday at ten in the morning?" Dr. Kay asks.
"Perfect that way I can take the weekend off and make sure she heals" Daddy says.
"Ok you know the surgery procedures" Dr. Kay says and daddy nods.
"So I will see you in three days" she says and daddy nods.
"Come on honey rose is going to take you home" Daddy says. Rose helps me up and wraps an arm around me and guides me out of the suite. Daddy follows. We get down to the E.R.
"I'll see you when I get home tonight" Daddy says and kisses my forehead. Rose leads me out to the car.
"Rose do you know what a D&C is?" I ask.
"No but we can ask Emmett" She says and I nod. When we get home Emmett is out in the driveway.
"Hey Kat" He says and picks me up. He takes me to daddy's office with Rose and closes the door.
"Alice already told me what you need to ask me" Em says at my confused look.
"Basically a D&C stands for dilation and curettage which is a brief surgical procedure in which the cervix is dilated and a special instrument is used to scrape the uterus lining" Em says and I nod.
"Now you will either be given medicine to soften your cervix to help dilate it or dr. kay will take a series of rods that are different thickness to dilate your cervix. With this procedure a speculum will be inserted into your vagina. Once that's in a clamp is be applied to hold your cervix in place. Then they will use an antiseptic solution to clean your cervix. Then you get dilated in which either method you choose. Then dr. kay will take an instrument a curette and scrape the lining of your uterus out. She may take a sample to take to the lab also." Em says.
"Now you will have to have anesthesia for this procedure" EM says.
"I know Dr. Kay is doing this while im under in surgery to remove the cyst on my one ovary" I say and em nods.
"You'll be fine baby girl" He says.
"I'm going to take a nap" I say and head to dads couch.
Rose and em nod and leave the room.
(Few hours later)
I feel myself being picked up. I open my eyes and see daddy carrying me.
"Shh go back to sleep" he says softly and take me to my room. I shake my head no and try and sit up.
"What's wrong?" he asks.
"Emmie explained what a D&C is" I say and he nods.
"I talked to Dr. Kay after you left and she says the easiest way to dilate your cervix is a laminaria, it's a slender rod that dr. kay will insert into your cervix Thursday and the rod expands by absorbing fluid from your cervix" Daddy says and I nod.
"You'll be fine sweetheart, I'll be in the O.R and if anything happens I can change you but nothing bad should happen" He says and I nod.
"You just need to relax everything will be ok" He says. I nod again and he chuckles.
"Do you want to come down for dinner?" he asks and I shake my head no.
"Ok I'll bring it up to you" he says. I nod and he leaves and comes back a few minutes later with two chicken wraps and French fries and an orange mountain dew. He sets it down on my lap. He puts my TV on and turns greys anatomy on and I pat the side of my bed. He gets up and sits next to me.
"I'll always take care of you" he says and I nod.
