Juliette looked in awe at the moving photo of the baby. For a moment all she could do was stare. It was just so beautifull. Juliette thought pregnancy was a magic far greater than any she could ever teach. She gave the woman a warm smile.
"A photo, oui" she said, pushing the buttons untill a snapshot of the fetus was spat out of the machine. She picked it up, and looked at it for a long moment, then handed it over to the woman. "Congradulations" she said She looked back to David, "whats next?" she asked, twrilling her hair while she waited.
While she waited, she took the towel and whiped the womans belly clean of the gell. They were done with that part of the exam and she imagined it wasn't very comforatable to have the gell on you belly.

While Juliette cleaned the gel off the woman's belly David sanitized his hands. There were a series of tests that they needed to do because it was nearing the end of her pregnancy. They would test for vitamin and glucose levels and antibody activity that could affect labor if they were either dangerously low or high. They were all really easy to preform and would only take a second.
He walked back over to the examening bench and had the woman sit up again. "We are now going to do a series of tests to ensure that nothing goes wrong during labor" he told her and smiled. He sat down on the chair and turned to Juliette "if you could just write down the results in her chart, then that would be super" he said and smiled at her.
He gently took the woman's hand and turned it over. He used his wand to draw three little lines on her fore arm. He the proceeded to press his wand on the right side of each line starting with the one closest to the woman. "Vitamin E levels are normal" he said and continued to press his wand in a sligthly different way that before by the next line. "Antibodie activity is normal" he said and smiled. And then he pressed his wand three times by the last one "glucose level is a bit higher than normal" he said and put his wand away. "Miss Ames will give you a little potion for that, nothing to worry about" he said and smiled. "Do you have any questions?" he asked but the woman shook her head. "Okay then your usual doctor will see you in two weeks" he said and shook her hand. He stood up and walked towards the door.

Alexandra sat in the waiting room, not knowing what to expect, she'd never gotten a real offical check up, just a confirmation that she was pregant, and then her parents sent her back to france, so this was her first check up. Oh brother, was she going to be yelled at, was she going to be treated with disdain, she really didn't know. one EPT was scary enough.. 3 had freaked her out and now she was going to possibly find out what was up with her baby and seen the little moocher for the first time. Her head was in her hands and she couldn't believe that she had actually passed out in her defense class. what did the other students think of her now...

Juliette wrote the information down as david called it out to her. She made little checks in the appropriate places. She nodded as he mentioned the potion, it was a common one. She went to the cupboard and found a bottle of it. Handing it over to the woman, she smiled and explained, "Twice a day, and you should be back to normal in time for the big day" she said.
She followed the doctor out and back down the hall. Checking her shedual to see what was next, "it looks like a miss Alexandra, this will be her first prenatel checkup. Should we bring her in" she asked, standing by davids side and scanning the lobby. There wern't many people, she saw one girl, but she looked far to young to be expecting, although juliette knew this didnt always matter, she had seen girls as young as twelve going through. She always felt bad for the, knowing that even thought they were going to expericance the joys of motherhood, they would be cutting their own childhood so short.
She smiled up at the doctor, wondering if she could request to work with him agian. They worked well together and she wouldn't mind spending more time with him.

David smiled at Juliette when she told him obout the next patient. He looked around the waiting room and saw a few men waiting, pressumably for their wifes, and then there was a elderly woman that looked like she had already lost the ability to have children and then there was a young teenager. He sighed. She already had a small belly forming in her middle. "Yes" he said to answer Juliettes question "Miss Alexandra Beaudolin" he called out so the girl would know it was her turn.
He knew that sometimes mistakes happened and a pregnancy was the result. But it always confounded him when he encountered it. He also thought it was so unfair to their childhood. These children had barely lived, barely had fun and now they were forced to be parents all of a sudden.
He shook the girl's hand "I am Healer David Blanc and this is Nurse Ames" he introduced them looking at Juliette hoping she wouldn't mind. He motioned for Alexandra to follow them to the examining room.
Juliette was a good nurse and those were a bit hard to come by. Some of them were just to lazy to care or hard core feminists that you couldn't say a word to without offending. He was glad that she was so good to work with. He didn't meet all that many women that he liked like this and the question of wether he should ask her out popped into his mind. He didn't know if she would find it inappropriate to go out with someone that she worked with. Maybe he would find out later.

Alone, yeap, she felt very alone at that moment. She'd been to wrapped up in her studies in england, that she'd not gotten a proper check up, she'd been driven to a muggle drugstore and pick up 3 EPT's and got 3 same results: all of em said pregant. Now, she was finally deciding to take care of herself. She walked along side the two healers. She really didn't feel like making small talk, and wasn't quite sure what to say, after all the only thing she'd ever said was to call someone a nasty name when they stared at her, and whispered things. What would maman say right now she thought to herself. "do you need to know any information?" She asked the two healers.

Juliette smiled, wondering where the girls parents were. The poor child was her all by herself. She led her down the hall and into the exam room. She pointed to the exam chair and motioned that the girl should sit in it. Leaning it back so they could do the exam.
Juliette summoned two stools and offered one to david. Sitting in the other one herself. She read the girls chart. It only had the basic information about her medical history and since this was her first prenatel appointment she would need to get a lot more about the girls history. She grabbed a quill, and looked up at the doctor. "I can get her history, if you want to prepare for the ultrasound" she said.
She smiled back at the girl, "Anything you can tell me would be helpful, Dr. Blanc and i want to help you have a happy and healthy pregnancy" she said trying to reassure the young girl.
The world just wasn't fair she thought. Juliette would do anything to be a mother, and here this poor girl was, compleltly unprepared for the responsibitys and yet being handed the one thing out of juliettes own reach. That was the one thing she hated about the maternity ward. She couldn't help but envy the young mothers to be who came in and out.

He smiled at the young girl and then looked down at Juliette and smiled at her too. "Yes! you do that" he answerd and walked over to the ultrasound mashine. He plugged it in and cleaned the scope with alcahol cleaner. Even though it had probably already been cleaned, he was just sort off an ocd about cleaning instruments he used.
He smiled at both of them when she had finished the history and decided to start the examination. He walked over to the bench and moved the girl's shirt so her belly was exposed. Because she was so young he felt the need to reassure her that this was alright. "I'm just going to do the examination now, I'm going to press down on your belly to feel the potition of the baby" he explained to her. He moved his hands along the right side of her belly pressing gently down on various places. She looked like she was far along. Because as he was feeling her stomach he could feel that she wasn't fat before the pregnancy, there wasn't really any fat tissue there. "Have you been experiencing any pains, or unusual bodily functions?" he asked as usual during a parental checkup. He moved over to the middle and could feel that the baby was quite small compared to the size of her and only on the right side. Then he moved his hands to the left side and felt something there too. "Hmm, feel this" he told Juliette and took her hand in his to show her where to feel. He was feeling two baby's and was curious to see if she thought the same.
"I think we should take a look and see what's indise your belly" he said and looked up at the young mom giving her a small smile.
