Chapter 36 - Malia (2)

She studies my face for a moment. I don't know what she sees but when she speaks again, she lowers her voice so only I can hear. "I'm not supposed to do this, but I'll move you up ahead so Doctor Michaelson can see you for an ultrasound. Then I'll have the blood test results sent to you later today. How does that sound?"

"You can do that?"

She lifts her chin and smiles smugly. "Girl, trust me." She winks and then gestures for me to take a seat. I look around the room to see if the other patients heard our exchange but they aren't even looking my way.

When Kaitlyn said she'd move me up, I didn't think I'd be up next as soon as a patient comes out from the back. But I don't waste my time and follow Kaitlyn to the back where my doctor is waiting for me. Doctor Michaelson is surprised to see me, but she remains professional the entire time.
