doctor visit

A/N: This is like two requests combined into one because I found a way to make them fit together. I don't remember who actually requested these but I vaguely remember being asked about them.

Read and enjoy. :)

Lauren lied in bed, curled under five blankets with her Nala clutched tightly to her chest. She heard the bedroom door open, but didn't peek out from under the mountain of blankets to see who it was.

"Lauren?" Ally's voice called out softly. Lauren could hear her approaching the bed and felt the bed dip a few seconds later. "Everything okay?" the older girl asked as she pulled the blankets back.

The raven haired girl shrugged. "I'm fine," she replied unconvincingly. "Just tired."

"I would believe that if you could say it to me instead of into a pillow."

Lauren groaned and turned to face the blonde. "It's stupid," she mumbled, refusing to look at the older girl.

"Nothing's stupid if it's bothering you, babe," Ally rebutted, stretching out across the bed.

The younger girl immediately curled into the blonde, laying her head on Ally's stomach. "I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, but I don't want to go. It's stupid, but I'm always anxious about it." She sighed, her eyes closing tightly. "It's stupid."

Ally shook her head, rubbing her hand in circles around the younger girl's back. "It's not stupid, Lo. What makes you so anxious about it?"

Lauren bit her lip nervously before answering quietly, "I was sick a lot as a kid, and had to see the doctor frequently. And I'm always anxious they're going to come back and say I'm really sick or something."

"Why didn't you say something before?" the blonde asked gently, keeping up her soothing motions. "One of us would go with you."

The younger one just shrugged. "It's stupid, and Mani and Dinah would make of fun of me."

"No, they wouldn't. Because if they did, they'd be on the couch or in the guest room for a week."

Lauren gave a small smile. "I just didn't want to bother any of you. The only reason I'm even going is because I told my mom I hadn't been since some time before I left for school, and she told me I needed to go."

Ally nodded, and looped her arms around the raven haired girl. "If you want one of us to go with you, we will. I don't have class or work tomorrow, so I can go with you. Or one of the others might be able to."

Lauren sighed and buried her face in the older girl's stomach. She really didn't want to talk about it anymore. It was stupid and slightly irrational, but she hated going to the doctor.

"Lauren, I will go with you," Ally stated decidedly. "You don't have to ask any of the others, but I will go with you. And it'll be fine. There's nothing to worry about."

The next day, Lauren sat in the waiting room of the doctors' office, her leg shaking up and down rapidly from her nerves. She knew there was nothing to worry about, but she couldn't help being anxious.

A hand was placed on her knee, and she turned to see Ally looking at her with a questioning look.

The green eyed girl blushed and looked away. "Sorry," she mumbled.

"There's nothing to be worried about," the older blonde promised, taking one of Lauren's hands and squeezing it reassuringly. "It's just a normal check up, and there's nothing to be afraid of."

The younger girl mumbled something, but it wasn't loud enough for Ally to catch.

"What was that, babe?"
