After they had taken her blood sample to run a few tests, Jason had dashed off to a near-by restaurant to buy some snacks for Angel as she had requested when she recovered
The burger he had earlier brought back was ruined because it had scattered messily on the floor when he gaped in shock at the limp body of his girlfriend at the bottom of the stairs.
When he arrived and was sure Angel was satisfied with the meal, he left for the doctor's office. Maxwell. His doctor and former classmate.
.....
"What are you saying Max"
"Jason. There's nothing wrong with her. Shes perfectly fine. Asides from the minor bruises she got from the fall, she's perfectly fine"
"How can you say that Max. Believe me, I know she's not okay. She has been very down and weak for the past few weeks. She sleeps most of the time and you need to see her eat??! Her appetite seems to grow stronger by the day. And you say she's not okay?"
"Hmmm" Was all Max could say as his nurse wrote down all the things Jason said on a clip board.
Then he put his hands on the table Infront of Jason.
"Jason I think we need to run another test on Angel"
"Another test. What kind"
"A pregnancy test"
Jason froze immediately. He gives Max a funny look waiting for Max to proclaim what he said as a joke but Max had a serious look on his face.
"You're joking....right?"
"No. I'm not"
"Well it seems to me that you are"
"I'm a doctor okay. I know why we have to run this test. Trust me"
"Trust you?? You really think Angel might be pregnant?"
"Not until we run the test Jason"
Jason taps his finger on the desk impatiently. "...Okay. Let's do it. But believe me... you're wasting your time Max".
Max stands up and the nurse looks ready to follow him out of the office. Max turns to Jason.
"We'll see about that"
Then they leave the office.
....
Jason crumpled his chin on his knuckles as he stares at Angel seated there on the hospital bed eating burger, fries, cake and ice-cream.
There was a small smile on his face as she wolfed down everything before him. Then remembering his conversation with Max earlier, he couldn't help but wonder.
.....What if he's right...
Angel shot him an innocent glance and kept eating. .
....Nah. He's totally wrong. I can't wait to see the look on his face when the results comes out negative.
"Why do you keep looking at me like that"
He snapped out his reverie.
"What...Huh?"
"Can we go home now. I'm so bored here"
"You'll just have to wait for some time okay. I assure you....once Max comes back from whatever he's doing he'll discharge you without a single problem"
Angel didn't understand what he meant, but as long as she was leaving here soon, she didn't mind.
She sat back, eating.
