Stevie and Kendall were sat waiting in the Santa Monica Women's Health Clinic when Kendall's name was called and she froze. Stevie just rolled her eyes and stood up, and grabbed her child's arm and pulled her towards the nurse. 

"So we've got a new patient and a pregnancy confirmation, so how do we want to go about this?" The Nurse questions leading them back into an exam room. 

"What do you mean?" Kendall inquires.

She's so innocent it almost kills Stevie and she honestly blames herself because it goes back to the fact that it was ultimately her decision to put Kendall in the nursery and it was ultimately that decision that caused her baby to be taken. She would have had so much more guidance had she and Lindsey been her parents instead of Pamela, and eventually Lucy. Nothing against Lucy but Kendall was virtually clueless when it came to everything and she's surprised that she was even comfortable having sex with Craig in the first place. 

"Well we're um..." The nurse looks at Stevie.

"She's going to ask you new patient quesitons. Your age, sexual history, medicines you're taking, history of illness in your family, any addictions, any falls, they're going to take your height and weight, blood pressure, temperature. Then they're most likely going to have to do a pelvic exam, a breat exam, and then they'll probably take your blood and have you pee in a cup for the pregnancy confirmation." Stevie tries to explain to the best of her ability. 

"I've never..." Kendall starts.

"The Pelvic exam is going to be the most uncomfortable, but that's why i'm here. I can hold your hand and i've gone through this. I can be there for you." Stevie grabs Kendall's hand and goes to stand by her at the bed.

"Stephanie's right. Why don't I just start by taking your blood pressure, temperature, height, and weight and we'll do the background questions than I'll send Dr. Holt in and she'll work with you for everything else. My names Nancy, i'm her personal nurse and I am here to anwer any question you may have." Nancy smiles. 

"Alright." Kendall nods.

Once her height, weight, temp, and blood pressure was taken they're starting on the medical information and Kendall can't answer most of them.

"What's going on?" Nancy sighs looking at Stevie.

"Nancy, do you remember when you first started here and we went through my chart?" Stevie questions.

"Yeah, it was twelve years ago." She nods.

"This is the baby that I had. This is the reason for my postpartum depression, this is the little baby on the ultrasounds in my file...actually, could you pull it for me?" Stevie bites her lip.

"Of course, i'll go get it when I get Dr. Holt. So this is your daughter that was kidnapped?" Nancy questions.

"Yes, and she's lived a pretty sheltered and confuzzled life. So ask me the questions and i'll tell you what I know." Stevie sighs. 

"Okay, Kendall, are you sexually active?" 

"Yes." 

"When was the last time you had intercourse?" 

"I honestly don't know...sometime in June." 

"When was your last period?"

"The week of June 5th." 

"Are you on birth control?" 

"No." 

"Have you ever been on Birth Control?"
