David was generally a happy guy and he enjoyed everything that life threw at him in one way or another. But there were times when he felt a little down and those were the times he would visit the maternity ward. If there was anything that could make him feel better at all times it would be babies. So now he was standing in front of the large window on the hall where they would keep the babies when the mothers were sleeping or if they had visitors and the baby was sleeping.
He crossed his hands over his chest and watched all the different babies. He couldn't help but smile and they had already made his day better.
David was 34 and he felt like he should already have it all. But he didn't. He didn't have a lovely wife to call his own and he didn't have children.

Juliette was happy to be working in the maternity ward. She loved babies although she didn't have any children herself. She just hadn't found the right guy yet. Juliette stopped next to one of the healers. She would be working with him tonight.
She stood next to him and watched an infant happily gurgle in a bassinette. She caught the eye of the healer and smiled, wondering if he loved this job as much as she did.
One day juliette hoped it would be her in there one day. With her own little bundle of life wrapped in her arms. She sighed and picked up a chart reading it. "two check ups and a birth today" she said to the man " you ready".

David looked at the nurse that was suddenly beside him. She told him what was on today's agenda and he smiled at her "yes of course, Miss. Ames" he said and gave her a smile. He didn't usually work in the maternity ward but it was indeed a rare pleasure. He was filling in for the head of the ward. He himself was the head of the magical bugs ward but he had let one of his senior healers fill in for him. He thought it was good for her to get to take charge once in awhile because one day this would be her job. He hoped that he would be the head of the Hospital by then.
He motioned for her to walk with him. "What is first?" he asked and looked over at her as they walked through the corridor. He didn't know the nurse really well, just her name and that she primarily worked in the maternity ward and creature induced injures.

Juliette smiled and started off down the hall with the healer. She checked the first chart, "madame palone" she read "shes is here for her third trimester check up"
Juliette checked her watch "but eet is not for alf an hour" she said following down the hall. She had never worked Alone with doctor and was curious to get to know him better. She didnt want to be unprofessional but thet had some time to kill so she decided to be daring "would you like to get a cup of cofé before zee fist patient?" she asked sweetly

David looked at the Juliette and smiled when she asked if they should go get coffee. "Yes, that would be lovely" he answered. They made a turn and headed for the elevator. There was a small coffee place in the reception. He hadn't really thought about it before but she was a really beautiful woman. He smiled a little and looked down at his shoes when he realized that. "Is the maternity ward your favorite?" he asked her when the elevator closed and started moving down.
Magical bugs had been his favorite since the first time he started interning at the hospital. He just enjoyed being able to help and felt that the Magical bugs ward had everything he liked the most. He liked children and he liked variety. It had both. He was mostly healing children but adults as well. And he saw a variety of cases daily. Mostly transmittable diseases.
The elevator opened and they stepped out and walked over to the coffee place. He ordered a Latte and then looked at her "and you?" he asked. He was of course going to pay, to him that were just manners.

Juliette nodded, "i love the maternity ward. Pregnancy is just so beautifull, and i love kids" she said as the two steped into the elivator. The doors opened and she stepped out to the small coffee shop. She blushed as she realized he had offerd to pay. Not wanting to be rude she said, "the same please" and graciously took the cup. "merci beaucoup" she said and held up the cup.
Looking around she saw a few empty tables. "Should we sit for a few minutes" she asked, "after all we will be on our feet for most of the day" she smiled. She loved assisting with births but they could be quite intense. She would deffinatly need all the caffine she could get.

David smiled when she said that she loved children. "Me too" he said and stepped out of the elevator. He smiled again when she blushed and ordered the same thin as he had. He reached into his healers coat pocket and drew out a galleon and handed it to the clerk. He smiled when she thanked him "bienvenue" he answered with a light grin.
"Yes defiantly, every chance I get, It's not really healthy to stand all the time" he said and drew out a chair for her and then sat down in the other one. He leaned back relaxing his back on the chair and took a sip out of his coffee. "So, when did you decide that you wanted to become a nurse?" he asked with interest which always formed two little creases between his eyebrows. He always did that when he was thinking or if he was focused on something and even though he relaxed them you could see little wrinkles in the skin where they were. He would, of course, not admit to having wrinkles because that would only make him think that he was getting old and missing out on life. He also had a few small ones on the corners of his eyes and around the edges of his mouth from smiling, which was his icon.

Juliette took the other seat oposite of David, she took a sip of her coffee and smiled.
Juliette blushed, he really wanted to know more about her. She thought for a moment, and then said, "I always knew i liked helping people, and working with people, and it just seemed like a good career for that" she smiled, "this year i also started teaching at beauxbatons, just the healing course, i like working with the children" she said. "do you have any kids" she asked, curious to know. She really never learned about the healers personal lives, but she found it so intreaging, and this was the perfect time to ask.
She took another sip of her coffee. She wanted to learn more about the doctor. "So what about you, what made you decide to be healer?" she asked.

He nodded as she told him why she wanted to become a nurse. He raised his eyebrows when she said that she had just started teaching the Healing course at Beauxbatons. "That must be fun" he said and took a sip out of his coffee. He was just putting his cup down when she asked if he had children. "No" he said and shook his head. "Do you?" he asked and smiled. She seemed to be just as fond of children as he was. He was glad he wasn't the only one obsessed with them.
He smiled at her question. "I have just always been really compassionate and helpful towards others. I knew that I wanted to become a healer when I was fourteen and now twenty years later I am still a healer because I just love to help in any way I can." he smiled and took a sip out of his coffee. "And then there are the children, they just light up your day, don't they"

"nope" juliette said, "no kids, i guess i just havn't met the right guy yet"
She was touched by his story about why he wanted to become a healer, the two of them had so much in common. Not to mention he was quite attractive. Juliette wonderd if he went for girls like her. For all she knew he was married.
"I think the kids are the best part of the job" juliette agreed. "thats one reason i love the maternity ward. Its just so satisifing to know that im helping bring new lifes into existance" she blushed, "Well that came out wrong, but do you know what i mean?"
Here she was making a complete idiot out of herself infront of this guy that was totaly out of her leage.

He was actually very surprised to hear that she was single. Why would a stunning woman like her be single, he would think that the guy's would be all over her. Well maybe that was a part of it. He was always put off when girls were completely obsessed with guy's and couldn't help but feel like they didn't respect themselves. He didn't want to be with someone that wasn't real, like he was, he was always himself and nothing less. He could see how it could be the same with the opposite sex. He always dreamed of being with someone he genuinely loved and cared about. Of course he hadn't been single his whole life, but he had never been in love with someone.
He smiled at her. They had so much in common and he had only been speaking with her for about twenty minutes. She seemed like a really nice woman. He chuckled at her comment and nodded "yes, I know what you mean." He answered. He took the final sip out of his coffee and looked at his watch. "We should be going upstairs again" he said and stood up.

Juliette checked her watch, she hadn't realized they had been talking for so long. She finnished off her coffee and tossed the cup. Following David back into the lift. The two headed back upstairs and into the maternity ward.
they entered the small staff room and juliette quickly checked to make sure her scrubs looked ok. She put on a new pair of latex gloves and pulled her hair back into a ponytail so she could concentrait on her work. She grabbed the chart, and went to find David, "Ready" she asked. Flashing him a huge juliette smile. The kind that had gotten her her first boy friend at beauxbatons.

They made their way from the elevator and into the staff room in the maternity ward. David went to the bathroom and when he came out Juliette was waiting for him and greeted him with the most beautiful smile in the whole wide world. He smiled back and nodded. It was the sort of smile that made you feel all warm inside.
They walked into the hallway to head for their first checkup in examening room one. He opeed the door of the room "Ladies first" he said and held open the door for her. "Bonjur madame palone, how are we today?" he asked the woman sitting on the examination bench and gave her a smile.
The woman was wearing a t-shirt and sweat pants. "we are doing good" the woman answered and rubbed her big belly.
He sat down on the doctors chair that had wheels on them and rolled over to the woman. He looked at Juliette "The history miss Ames?" he said and gave her a smile, he did't know anythig about the patiet so she would have to tell him everything there was to know about this woman's pregnacy.

Juliette smiled again, and walked in. "well i guess chivelry isn't dead" she said, with a grin.
Picking up the womans chart, she scanned it for all the information she would need to fill the doctor in on. "Madame Palone: Thirty two weeks pregnant with a baby girl. This is her first child, her mother and sister both had very long labors. She is allergic to wolfs bane, pumpkin juice and dragons blood" Juliette read to the doctor. She stood back and let him do what he needed to. They would be doing an ultrasound today. "would you like me to get the cart ready for the ultrasound" she asked the doctor. She watched as he carefully and gentally examined the woman, He did it with such tenderness.
She walked over to the cart, set up the macine, and hooked up the magical picture moniter. She found a full tube of the lubricant and a clean towel, and waited for further instruction.

He listened to the information as he moved the woman's t-shirt and pressed his fingers on various spots on her belly. He did that to find the baby's potition it was laying on it's side with the head to the womans right side. He moved his hand to where the feet were and he felt a kick. He smiled "we've got ourselves a kicker" he claimed "If you can just lean back" he said and stood up turning over to Juliette. "Yes please" he answered with a smile.
The sonogram machine was a peculiar device. It allowed you to see into the belly and check if the baby was alright. It was like a big mirror that showed a blurry redish picture of the baby ((like 3D sonar)) and to it were attatched a series of thin glowing wires that looked like they were pure light floating really fast from the box on the cart and into the mirror like screen. that was attatched to a pole on the cart. The box on the cart acted like a translator for the flat palm sized scope which he would use to slide along the woman's belly so they could get a picture. And from the scope was lead one little line of glowing wire.
He tured to the woman again and adjusted the back of the bench so that she was more sitting up. Then he reached for the tube of ever warm gel and squeezed some out of the tube and over her belly. He put the scope on the woman's belly on the right side where the head was and looked at the screen. The baby girl had her finger in her mouth and her other hand was cluched to the side of her head. On the monitor you could see numbers that indicated the heart rate and blood pressure. "We should take a picture, miss Ames?" he asked as the woman nodded. He held the scope on the same spot so she could take a picture of the head. The picture would be like a polaroid picture showing about a minute of fetal movement.
