Kimberly's POV

"Kimberly, dinner's ready," Karlie shouts up the stairs. "Ok coming," I shout back. I run down the stairs and sit at the table. We start until Karlie stops eating and turns toward me. "Hey Kim, so today a girl around your age came into the office so I'm thinking that maybe it's time to bring you to the office," Karlie sympathetically. "Karlie," I whimper. "It's okay Kim, this won't be bad we'll just do it tonight since no one's at the office now," Karlie says encouragingly. We finish eating our dinner and I go get a pair of socks and a jacket. I go back downstairs and get my shoes on. "Ok ready Kim," Karlie asks sympathetically as she sees me worried. "Not really," I say nervously. "It's okay Kim, this won't be bad," Karlie says encouragingly. We then leave the house and walk to their office. I stop outside Karlie's office and start to get scared. "Hey hun it's alright just breathe," Karlie says encouragingly. I breathe in deep breaths and I start to get better. "Now that wasn't so bad was it," Karlie asks with a small smile. "No, it wasn't," I say returning the smile. Karlie then takes my hand and walks me back to an exam room. "Ok hun, can you sit down for me," Karlie asks softly. I nervously went over and sat down on the chair. Then Karlie's best friend, Taylor walks into our exam room. "Oh hi Karlie, who's this little cutie," Taylor asks softly as she squats in front of me. "Taylor this is my little sister Kimberly," Karlie says softly as she sees me scared. "Aww what's wrong sweetie," Taylor asks softly. "I'm scared," I say nervously. "It's alright Kim, I won't hurt you," Karlie says encouragingly. "Umm Taylor, can you hold my hand," I ask nervously. "Of course I can," Taylor says encouragingly. Taylor grabs my hand and Karlie leans back the chair. "Mmm," I whine nervously. "It's okay Kim, you're doing great," Taylor says encouragingly. I nervously look up at Karlie who is getting her mask and gloves on. "Karlie," I whimper. "It's okay Kim, why are you so nervous," Karlie says sympathetically. "I had dental screenings at school last week and the person there was hurting everyone," I say about to cry. "Aww Kim, I'm sorry about this but I promise I won't hurt you," Karlie says encouragingly. "So just can you open your mouth for me, Kim," Karlie asks encouragingly. I nervously open my mouth and close my eyes. "You're doing great sweetheart," Taylor says encouragingly. Karlie takes her tools out of my mouth and grabs another tool. I open my eyes to see what it is. "Ok Kim, I'm just going to polish your teeth and then you're done for tonight," Karlie says encouragingly. I nod my head and open my mouth and Karlie starts polishing my teeth. Karlie takes her tools out of my mouth and allows me to close my mouth. "That wasn't so bad," I say with a small smile. "See now we can go home," Karlie says returning the smile.
