It's nice to be back

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki sighed, it was good to be back...she and her short hair agreed on this at least. She hummed softly- the twins were three months old now. And she had felt they were finally old enough to be at work with here. Because Hades couldn't breast feed and Oki hated the pump. Rawr. Evil pump.

The twins were curled up in a cradle...one she had carried from home with the twins strapped to her front. He walks had become so much better since she wasn't pregnant anymore. She enjoyed her days more fully lately- mostly because the twins now slept through the evening. Thank the Gods for that little blessing.

Zachary and Suki...Oki smiled softly and hugged herself. Watching her babies rest peacefully. She wouldn't be leaving the nurses office much as this was the quietest room there was until someone came in crying about one thing or another. Oki ran a hand through her hair and started working on inventory and paperwork.

It's nice to be back.

[chihiro]

Sigh... Chihiro had been fretting this day since she moved back here to Long Beach. She couldn't ignore it any longer, and if she wished to remain healthy and ensure the health of her...child (oh goodness.. .__.), she would have to start seeing a physician. Taking measured even breaths though her heart was racing, the graduate stepped into the health facility. The first thing she noticed was the nurse busying herself with some sort of paperwork or something, and she cleared her throat softly to indicate her presence.

"..."

She wasn't sure how to go about doing this...the last time she'd uttered the fateful words was in Philadelphia when she admitted the situation in the meeting with Valekin and Kiyoshi. Sigh.. The uncertainty she felt was probably written all over her face. Her hands in the pockets of her black and pink Volcom hoodie, subtly covering her abdomen, she waited for the nurse to acknowledge her.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki heard the soft sound and turned. She beamed a gentle, glowing smile at the student who'd come to see her. It was good to be back, even with special consideration of the twins being present with everything that happened at this school- wellll...yeah Oki had pulled some very big strings to get this approved.

She didn't look in immediate need of medical attention but then again everything was not always as it seemed here.

Oki picked up new papers and a clipboard. She walked over to the student, "Oki needs to see a hall pass and for her to tell Oki the symptoms."

[chihiro]

Chi shifted from one foot to the other uncomfortably.

"Well, I'm actually not a student, I'm working on an internship here."

Her excuse for not having a hall pass. Goodness, it seemed like forever since she'd even handled one, only making her feel older and worn, and making her predicament all the more real to her.

"I've actually come here because I kind of have a...bit of a problem.."

Come on..spit. it. out. Chihiro took a deep breath, feeling a bit faint, her face paling as her mouth fought with the words to say, her arms hugging around herself.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Unfortunate for Miss Chihiro, Oki recognized that body language. To the hesitation..and to the claiming of another problem not involved with injury...but involved with another physician. Buuut it was dangerous to assume and Oki made the young woman some green tea. Oki didn't do that pre-made garbage, she grew the plants and a prepared it all herself.

"Have a seat and we shall talk."

Oki checked the twins, comfortably asleep and adorable. She smiled...if Zach could see them...well no one had seen them..except Joseph, Dion and Hades...and they really only got to see them when she wasn't keeping them in her room.

Anyways, "Best to be straight forward with Oki than trying to stumble and fumble."

[chihiro]

Chihiro nodded, taking a seat hesitantly, though gladly accepting the tea she offered. She took a sip, recognizing the quality as higher than the general tea-bag sort, making her feel at ease in spite of her current situation.

She took a deep bearth, nodding once more as the woman named 'Oki' told her to just say what was wrong and not fumble. Well, here goes nothing..

"I'm...pregnant."

She stumbled over the two syllable slightly, like it was a foreign tongue she didn't understand...which was a laugh since she was fluent in five of them. But in a way this was like a different language to here. She'd never been pregnant, she didn't know what it entailed...and she had to do it alone. She took another, longer sip of her tea to settle her nerves.

[Oki W. Nanda]

Oki glanced back at her babies..then looked over the girl...she wasn't much more than a baby herself. But guessing by the presentation and demeanor of the girl...it wasn't a wanted..planned...or welcomed thing...the- what was the word- conception. But Oki's smile never wavered. The girl had very many options and obviously she had opted not to use one of them- or she wouldn't be here, possibly asking for help. But that was soon to be seen, Oki dared to assume. After all- maybe the girl just needed a shoulder to cry on.

"That's such a big thing to be at her age, Oki thinks. Young motherhood is a very trying thing- but as she has come to see Oki, Oki is assuming she has opted to keep it. If so, Oki would not mind being her consultant and doctor. BUT...if she's here for options, Oki knows many. And can help with anything she needs help with."

Yes. Oki was a dealer of death when it came to the unborn. But this little miss would have to open up and tell Oki exactly what kind of help she needed.
