Chapter 150 - Arriving At The Hospital
From her death, in her last life, she had now presumed that Lucy wasn't smart enough to arrange her death on her own. It meant that if Rachel had helped her daughter kill her then what was to stop her from killing her mother.
Her mother had a separate condo and money all set up. She remembered then her mother's letter she included her friend's name on the letter. She had to ring her to find out what she knows if anything she thought as she drove.
April turned the car as she saw the hospital sign and she drove into the car park, it was early enough and plenty of parking spaces so it didn't take long for her to find one and stop the car. She looked to Aarna and smiled at her before reassuring her again, "No matter what happens today, you got this and I will be with you every step of the way."
Aarna rushed forward and hugged April, she was glad she had worked up the courage to ring April and ask for her company, "Thank you for keeping me company."
After their hug they both got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the hospital, April held Aarna's arm as they walked. This was Zane's hospital but it was so huge that April and Aarna were sure that he wouldn't find out that they were there.
They walked straight to the early pregnancy unit and received a form from the front desk. Aarna sat down and started to fill out the form and April sat beside her.
Aarna then noticed Zane's secretary Arlo walking towards them. She threw the forms at April, April hadn't met Zane's secretary and was taken aback for a moment when she heard a voice from beside her.
"Are you okay miss? Does Zane know your here? He could help you." Said the friendly voice.
Aarna saw Zane's secretary Arlo glance down at her stomach and she panicked, she pointed at April, "Im here to support my friend."
April smiled and stood beside her friend, the young man seemed friendly so she smiled and replied, "She here for me."
Just then a voice shouted, "Number forty five please." For privacy, they didn't use names and that was Aarna's number.
Aarna turned to April, "That's you, go on ahead." She pushed her forward.
April stood for a moment before she followed after the nurse, she had seen Aarna's panic and didn't want to go against her so she went with it. She needed information on going on the contraceptive pill anyway.
The young secretary still felt unsure but he smiled and nodded, "Okay then, have a good day." Arlo then walked away.
Aarna breathed a huge sigh of relief and glanced down the corridor, April was gone. She then walked to the desk and filled out another form, she would wait her turn again.
Inside of the doctor's office, an older lady sat across the desk from April and said, "Form please." She didn't even look up in April's direction.
April sat down and explained, "I'm sorry I haven't filled it in properly, I lifted my friends form by mistake."
The older lady looked up sternly, "Fine, just tell me what you are here for today?"
April was glad she had got this doctor as she may have put Aarna off with her quiet nature and the doctor's approach. She smiled and asked, "I would like to start the contraceptive pill please."
The older doctor gave her a curt look and pointed while saying, "Get up on the couch for me."
April stood and walked to the hospital bed, it was cold and hard with a white roll down the front of it, she sat up on it and the older lady approached her, she took out her stethoscope and held it to Aprils arm and held her pulse.
"When was your last period?" Asked the older lady as she draped her stethoscope over her neck again.
"Emm." April couldn't remember with everything going on she hadn't taken note and her periods had all been mixed up between this life and her past so she had no regular period.
The older lady huffed and said, "Lie back."
Although she was curt April complied and lay back.
"Lift up your shirt." The older doctor requested as she pulled a chair forward and turned on the machine beside her.
April did as she requested and lay there, she didn't know anything about being on the contraceptive pill and wasn't sure of what to query so she lay there waiting. She saw the doctor put on a pair of blue gloves then she felt cold jelly on her stomach and saw the Doctor use the ultrasound machine on her stomach.
"Will this tell you if I am due my period soon?" April asked.
The older doctor was staring at the computer and continued to rub her stomach with the ultrasound machine. She then sighed before saying, "No it doesn't. You are three weeks pregnant though so I shall not be prescribing and contraceptive pill as it is harmful to the baby."
The doctor then rubbed her stomach with some white roll and took off her gloves, April lay there in shock before sitting up, "Excuse me but did you say, baby?"
"Yes you are three weeks pregnant, jump down off the couch and I will give you some health pamphlets." The older Doctor announced before she then got up and returned to her desk.
April pulled her t-shirt down but sat for a moment before walking numbly to sit in front of the doctor again. The doctor gave her the pamphlets and she glanced at them.
"You will need to get some folic acid and take it daily. Eat well, rest and return to us for an appointment in nine weeks. You can make the appointment at the front desk."
April nodded and she stood up, "Thank you." She said before then walking out of the doctor's room where she met Aarna.. She saw in Aarna's hands the same pamphlets.
