"Alright, Husker. Your prostate looks fine." "I would imagine so," Husk groaned, "Ugh. Fuck, I'm not sure what I hate most, this or what always comes after this." The doctor chuckled and nodded as he jotted down a few notes before changing to a fresh glove and signaled for Husk to turn around. Husk groaned as he followed the doctor's instructions and spread his legs, turning away and waiting for the signal.

When the exam was over, Husk shook off the discomfort and quickly pulled up his pants and boxers. "Fuck, I hate that so… so much." Husk groaned. "I know it's something most men have to get done after a certain age, but… ugh!" "Well, if it helps at all, Husker, you're pretty much done. Unless you want to get your shots today, too?"

Husk thought it over for a moment and nodded, "Yeah. Yeah, I think that'd be a good idea, Dr. Noid." The doctor smiled and nodded, gesturing to the chair by the door. Husk took a seat, letting out a sigh as Dr. Noid walked out and closed the door softly, saying, "I'll be right back with the forms and the syringes."

Dr. Noid came back a few minutes later with a clipboard and three syringes on a small tray. Husk thanked Dr. Noid as he took the clipboard, quickly read through the waivers and signed them before handing them back to the doctor. "Alright, Husker," Dr. Noid said, picking up the first syringe "You want them in your arm, or," "No," Husk sighed, "The glutes would probably be better for me right now anyway. With my pain levels being what they've been lately, a sore ass is much more manageable than sore arms."

Dr. Noid nodded and brought the tray over to the exam bed as Husk lowered his pants and boxers just past his tail and leaned over, taking a deep breath as Dr. Noid administered the three injections, letting out a slow, sharp hissing breath as he felt each needle go in and burn as the solution was injected. When all was said and done, Husk pulled his pants back up and rubbed his sore glutes with a moan.

"Ugh… thanks for everything, doc." Husk groaned, giving Dr. Noid a smile and a quick handshake as the doctor handed him his new prescription information and a slip to get an immediate refill at the front desk. "Take care of yourself, Husker." Dr. Noid smiled, "Say hi to the family for me."

"Will do." Husk said, waving goodbye before heading out into the front lobby to pick up his new batch of cannabis. Husk paid his copay and bid the front desk clerks farewell as he took his prescription, slipping the information sheet into the plastic baggie and headed towards the front door of the clinic.

"Good riddance." A voice cracked. Husk turned and shot a dirty look at the old fish woman form earlier, flipping her off before leaving the clinic with a soft growl and a huff.


Husk sighed as he sat down in his chair behind the bar, placing his prescription baggie down by his feet before leaning back in the chair and letting his eyes close. He took a deep breath, letting it out slowly as he felt his head throb and his body ache. "Fucking… not now." Husk groaned, "I just got home."

"Hey, dad." Husk opened his eyes a little to see Hazel sitting down at the bar, smiling down at him, "You feeling okay?" "Oh, hey, honey." Husk yawned, "Just a bit sore. God, I'd forgotten how much of a pain in the ass going down to the clinic can be."

"That crabby old Nurse Bathos still work there?" Hazel laughed. "Ugh, not sure; I didn't see her, but I might've met her cousin," Husk groaned, "Some crazy old bitty in the waiting room was on some soapbox spiel about how sinners, meaning me, shouldn't be at the clinic because sinners 'don't have health problems.' Honestly, I'd take Nurse Bathos over that stupid sea witch any day."

Hazel chuckled and nodded, pointing down to Husk's baggie and said, "I see you got more of your medicine." Husk nodded and said, "Yeah. I've been needing to go in for a physical anyway, so being low on my stuff just gave me the perfect excuse to just get it over with." Husk let out a grunt and reached down into the baggie and smiled as he pulled out a small chocolate bar and licked his lips, "Ah, it's been a while since I've had some of this. I'd offer you a square, but… well, you know."

"Yeah," Hazel chuckled, "I'm pretty sure it won't hurt anything, but… I'm not going to risk it without doing some serious research." "Smart kid." Husk smiled, breaking off half a square and popped it into his mouth with a happy hum. "Well, maybe sometime after the baby's born we can get together and just… I don't know, do something?"

"I'd like that." Hazel nodded, "Maybe we can head down to the Jackpot and have a father-daughter spa day. I'd love to get a chance to meet up with Sugar Cube and the gang. Oh, and the café; I've missed their coffee… and the brownies."

"Actually, that reminds me," Husk pipped, "The last week of the month, the staff's having a little get-together in the old theatre. Nothing fancy; just a little shindig with good food and good booze. Shwick and the gang were hoping you'd come by and hang for a bit. I know the rest of the crew would love to see you, too; it's been so long since you came up to visit."

Hazel gave a hum, resting her chin in her hand as she thought it over for a moment and nodded, saying, "Well… given I might be stuck here for a while hiding from my crazy aunt, I guess I've got nothing better to do. Will there be cake?" "Uh… probably." Husk shrugged, "The folks that work down in the kitchen always cook up some really nice dishes and desserts for these shindigs, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bunt cake or a pie or two."

"Great!" Hazel cheered, "Let me know when the party's going to be and I'll make sure I'm ready in time to head down with you. You… you are going to be there, too, aren't you?" Hazel let out a sigh of relief as Husk flashed a smile and a thumbs up and said, "Good… that's good. What a relief." "Speaking of relief," Husk chuckled, "I think I might've taken just a wee bit too much of this stuff, because… hehehe… I am feeling almost no pain right now." Hazel let out a snort and covered her mouth to try to muffle her laughter.

"Better make this stuff last," Husk sighed, stuffing the chocolate bar back in the baggie before looking up at Hazel and gave a wink. "Uh, Hazel, do me a favor and," "I saw nothing." Hazel shrugged, "I didn't hear nothing, I didn't see nothing, this speech has not been rehearsed." Husk smiled and gave a little nod, saying in a tired whisper, "Good girl."
