You And Me Against The World | ✅

Chapter 34

I'm waiting in the examination room in the infirmary for Dr. Morris to come and check me out. I hope I'm healthy again because I sure can't take it any longer. The door to the room opens and Dr. Morris comes in.

"Hello, Tris. How are you today?" he asks smiling.

"A lot better, actually. I haven't sneezed or coughed since yesterday and my temperature is in normal range since Monday evening," I tell him.

"That's great. Let me take a vial of blood to test it before we proceed to the physical exam. By the way, did you bring the urine sample as I asked?"

"Yes. I gave it to the nurse who sits at the front desk."

"Wonderful. It's probably in the lab already," he says and proceeds to take some blood. I should be used to needles by now but they are still unsettling. I close my eyes and when I open them again the doctor gives the vial with blood to the nurse who came in while I pretended not to be here. When she leaves, Dr. Morris starts examining me. He checks twice to make sure and I'm a little nervous because of it.

"So, am I okay?" I ask.

"I still have to wait for the test results on your urine and blood samples, but as far as I can tell you are healthy again," he says smiling. I jump of the examination table and hug him tightly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," I say cheerful.

"Don't thank me," the doctor says laughing. "You followed the instructions and took your pills and rested enough. You helped yourself to heal. We still need the test results from the lab, but I'm confident they will corroborate my findings. I will have the results by the end of the day," he says.

"Thank you so much again, doctor."

"You're welcome. I'll call you when I get the results, alright?"

"That'll be great, thank you."

"Goodbye and take it easy for a while."

"Don't worry. I hate being sick. I will do everything to avoid it as much as possible," I say and leave the infirmary.

I decide to go to my office and call Christina and Shauna to me. Although I was still forced to spend the last couple of days at home the girls came by to discuss the upcoming Halloween party and their plans for the Haunted House.

"Hey Tris," Shauna says coming in.

"Hey Shauna. Where's Christina?" I ask looking for my best friend.

"She went to the bathroom. She'll be here in a minute. Halloween party?" she asks and I nod.

"But before we start, how are you two?" I ask and she smiles brightly.

"I had my first craving yesterday," she says proudly.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I ate fish with chocolate ice cream," she says beaming.

"Ugh, sounds disgusting," I say making a disgusted face.

"It is, but I swear it was the most delicious thing I've ever eaten."

"Alright. You are the mama. Did you go to the hospital for a check-up?" I ask.

"I have an appointment next Monday. Addison will tell me what to do and what don't and give me some information on the baby's progress. When I last went, when she told me I was pregnant, she said I should be six or seven weeks pregnant. She will perform an ultrasound on Monday and we will know more."

"So Zeke's going with you?"

"Yeah. He's so happy I'm really surprised he can keep his big mouth shut. If it were up to him he would have announced it over the internal intercom," she says and we laugh.
