As Jenny sits nervously on the examining table waiting for her doctor to arrive with the results of her checkup. Jenny kept taping her fingers on the table. He did the same old blood test that he done at least 50 times before to see if the disease comes back but that was when she was a adult. She even remembered the first time he told her the disease came for the first time......
She was trying to be patient but she just couldn't help but look around. It was his newest office. Actually it wasn't that far from the old office. Actually the old office was in the same building.
If anything Jenny would rather be working then waiting but her doctor rather have her stay in the office waiting then doing her work.
The Office was good looking and even neat but it didn't have that homely feel to it that Jenny always liked in her doctor offices. The place didn't have that feeling. Jenny even believed it might be that she just liked the old office better. Maybe she was right.
The blood tests took only 15 minutes but the doctor hasn't come and its been a hour. That really annoyed Jenny he probably was with a patient that only needed a cough drop instead of telling her the stupid results that were more likely negative. Ever time they tested her before it was always negative. If Anything she would rather be staying at her brothers side then waiting here.
What's taking him so long. It really shouldn't take that long to get results and bring them back up here. He probably stopped off at the ER to do some crazy stunk of his.
He finally walks in. "Can I get dressed now?" I asked anxious to go back to work.
"Sit down," Fred said with a kind tone.
"I want to get back to work," Jenny said but Fred pushed her back down on the table. "What's wrong?"
"Your brother John just died."
"What you said another year at the least?"
"He stopped fighting to live Jenny. I'm sorry."
"What did he die of?" Jenny didn't get the chance to really absorb what he was saying.
"We think it was pneumonia. They tried there best." Fred just didn't know any other way to say it. "They couldn't save him."
Jenny started getting teary eyed. "Why in the world did it happen?" Fred Shrugged but looked more differently. "Theres something else isn't there?"
"You have the disease."
That was years ago. Her new brother John is fine and waiting for her in the waiting room with Mommy. They stopped having daddy or mommy in the office after she was rejuved. Before even when she was an innocentata she was to sick and her father had to be there just in case the illness wasn't letting her make sense which happened before. And before that as a penny she didn't have that right or luxury as they would put it.
But now she had the right to have privacy. And her health was well enough to not need anyone else around. The doctor was taking to long again. This just didn't feel right. The hole place felt like a cage that she couldn't get out of.
The doctor was just taking to long. SOmehow that scared her.
Finally Fred walked in looking just like he looked the last time. "The disease has come back," Fred said.
And then Jenny woke up. She wasn't sure if it was just another nightmare or just a dream or maybe its all her fears combined or maybe it was the future.
The good news is she has a appointment with Carol that she was more then happy to go.
"So you dreamt of the past." Carol said sitting on her chair while Jenny was laying on the couch. Old triditions die hard. Actually Jenny was more confortable that way.
"I guess. But why did I dream it came back."
"Thats your greatest fear isn't it."
"Yes it is. After my entire family died it became a fear that I couldn't take."
"Maybe its time you get tested again."
"I thought you were going to say something like its all in my mind."
"This is a real life fear that is more likely going to be true in one time or another. Its not in your mind but it might help you to know if the disease comes back or not."
"And if it does."
"And if it does we'll face it together. And if it doesn't it might help you to know."
"Thank you."
A week later John and Jenny were waiting in the doctors office. John came for support at Jennys request. Actually Jenny didn't need his support as much as she needed him there. Her brother wasn't there the last time and look what happened.
Fred walked in smiling. "Your perfectly healthy. Now get dressed you got hypospray duty in a hour." Everyone laughed. "Just kidding."
