Never Enough Sedative (Pixel)

[Pixel Conner]

Pixel followed, looking down at her purple low top converse. She'd been wearing them when she met Anthony, she remembered that. They were kind of worn out, because she'd had them for a few years, and the rubber parts had doodles on them, the toe of the left shoe had a boy and girl stick figures drawn in black sharpie on it. The girl had long, slightly curly hair, while the boy have a few spikes coming out of his head which were meant to be hair. It was her and Anthony, and she didn't care if anyone else but her noticed it. She wished Anthony was here now with her, holding her hand. She climbed onto the table when the doctor told her too, still not saying anything, and listen to him speak. She felt her heart started to race when the doctor told her she'd have to tell the headmaster, or he would. Not in that many words, but he was pretty much telling her she needed to tell him, and soon.

The young girl sighed. "Just.. go ahead and make the appointment, please.. I'll get Anthony and tell him in the morning, okay? So maybe get an appointment for the evening if you can... I need everything to be alright. I stole a test, like one of the stick ones, from here..." Actually her best friend Nickolai had, but she wasn't about to get him in trouble. "And it was positive.. That was like.. weeks ago." She sort of wanted to know how far along she was, just to get everything straight. "I'm an idiot.. I should have just told you sooner, but now something could be wrong and it's all my fault because I'm a scared little child and I didn't think about little Tony, I thought about myself. I'm so selfish, how can I be a mother and this kind of selfish?" Pixel placed her hand on her stomach. "Can you imagine though? Like if it's a girl it'll look like the most gorgous little girl on the planet.. like an angel.. And if it's a boy it'll be as handsome as Anthony but like, intensified... I can't wait to hold it in my arms and whisper how I love it so much... Isit weird I don't want to know the gender until the baby is born? I want to be surprised." She smiled, looking up at the doctor.

Anders laughed a little at Pixel’s comment and turned around to face her, shaking his head. “ You aren’t selfish honey, you’re pregnant.  Sometimes they get a little muddled up, but don’t worry, it has everything to do with your hormones, not you.” he smiled as opened on of the drawers, pulling out a packaged needle, cotton swabs and disinfectant.  “ And it’s totally normal not to want to know, a lot of people don’t.  And it’s never a guarantee, some doctors won’t tell, even if you ask.” he chuckled “ Probably afraid of being sued if they are wrong.”
 
“ I’m glad to hear that you’ll tell him.  I need to do some research in town, find out who is available and who is good, but I’ll get something booked for you then arrange it with the headmaster.”  He said gently “ And I’ll make sure he clears Anthony to go with you.  It concerns him as much as it concerns you.”  he smiled.
 
“ Now, for the fun part.  I’m going to need to take some blood, so I hope you aren’t squeamish around needles.” he said brightly.  [/size]

Pixel was in the middle of figuring how she could get away with dressing her son, if she had a boy that is, in purple. Dark purple was manly, wasn't it? Anthony wore purple for her sometimes, and he looked fined. If her son was anything like it's daddy it would be driving all the girls at the play ground crazy. Her smile grew, an image of a little blonde girl running away from him screaming something about cooties, and him chasing after her with arms wide open. She wanted to know what Anthony looked like as a baby, she was betting fricking adorable. She was struck with the thought that her child was going to beauitful, no matter what gender it was.

Thenshe heard drawing blood, and her attention was fully on the doctor again. "I uh.. It's not the needle, it's the blood part." Her face scrunched up and she looked away. She'd gotten shots before, and she was fine, and she was planning a tattoo she was going to get after the baby was born, but blood... She freaked out and ran away, even if the blood was on her. Pixel extended her left arm, closing her eyes tight. It was for the baby, they had to make sure the baby was okay. It wasn't for the baby, Pixel would already be out the door.

Anders chuckled a little. “ It's understandable, just keep doing what you're doing and don't look. It will just take a second. He quickly swabbed a patch of her arm down with disinfectant, and with the dexterity of someone who'd done it a million times, found a vein and plunged the needle in. Anders always found it better to just get this sort of thing over and done with as fast as possible. He drew the blood, the whole ordeal took a few seconds. As he took out the needle, he pressed a cotton ball to the spot, and deftly taped it in place. “ There we go. That wasn't so bad.” He smiled reassuring as he took the vial of blood off the syringe before tossing it in the waste container. He took a few minutes to label the sample before putting it aside to be tested.

He slipped the gloves off his hands and tossed them away as well before turning back to Pixel with a smile. “ Now, I want to just give you a really quick exam. It won't take long, and since I'm not an OB GYN, it won't be very involved, I just want to make sure there is nothing obvious that needs attention.” he leaned his back against the counter. “ now, Joy isn't here, and normally, this is the kind of thing we'd have her involved with. Most women prefer to have another woman present with this kind of examination. So we can wait, and have it done when she is one shift. And we can go over anything you may have questions about in terms of what you should be doing to keep you and the little guy healthy instead.” he said calmly.[/size]

"Uh." Pixel stared at the doctor, her mouth hanging open while she did. She didn't know what he was saying after "normally this is the type of thing we'd have another women involved in" and all Pixel could think was "WHAT THE F*CK IS HE DOING THAT A WOMEN NEEDS TO BE HERE?!" The small blonde would just yell that at him, but she actually liked the doctor, and she didn't want to freak him out by yelling at him. She freaked people out a lot. Yelling, asking inappropriate questions, being a weirdo... All things that freaked people out and Pixel tended to everyone of them a lot. Just because she knew people didn't like it didn't mean she was going to stop.

"I need Anthony." That's what Pixel finally decided on. Having Anthony. He was the one thing that calmed her down when nothing else did. If there ever came a day that Anthony could not managed to calm her, well.. It would probably be the apocalypse, and the world would be doomed. Doomed. "I'll do whatever... But I want Anthony here. So like.. Go get someone to go fetch him, and we can stay and talk here. I'll ask you weird questions." She smiled at him.

Anders waited patiently as the young girl seemed to be having an inner debate about something. Perhaps he should have explained himself better, it wasn't as though he planned on doing a full pelvic exam or anything of the sort, but she was young and female, and he wanted no questions in her mind or anyone elses about his behavior with students. If there was even the remote possibility she, or any other patient was uncomfortable with an exam because he was a man, he was going to cover his ass and put them at ease by asking if they wanted the nurse present.

He smiled when she finally spoke and nodded “ I ca certainly get Anthony here as well. After all this concerns him too.” Anders straightened from the counter. “ I'll go have him paged here. And in the mean time, think of anything you want to know.” He turned to head out of the exam room but stopped, at the door. He shoved his hand into one of his white jacket's pockets and rummaged around. He smiled when he finally put his hand on what he was looking for. He pulled a red lolipop out of his pocket, and handed it to the young girl. Kids always liked suckers, it was a given. And Anders always had a few stashed around. Granted they were for him and his sweet tooth, but in this case, he would just pretend he kept them about for patients. “ Take that. I'll be back in a minute” he smiled and went to page the soon to be father.[/size]

[Anthony Price]

Anthony had been in the library when he heard his name being paged to the medical wing. He was pretty sure he didn't have any medicines to take or anything. So he was at a loss of what would get him summoned to the medical wing. But he packed up his books anyways and moved out of the library towards the medical wing. He'd gotten more then half of his homework done. He was excited to spend some time with Pixel later in the evening. Maybe even have some dinner with her.

About ten minutes later he made it to the medical wing and knocked on the doctors office door. Then he walked through the door. His eyes scanned around the empty office. Since it was empty he moved from the office to the exam room. Maybe he'd find what he was looking for there. As he walked into the exam room he saw his favorite blonde haired girl. "Pixel? What are you doing here?" He was confused. Why was Pixel here? Unless it was the baby and something was wrong. "Is something wrong with the baby?"

[Pixel Conner]

Pixel's face spread into a big smile when the doctor handed her a red lollipop, reaching out and gently taking it from the Sweden. She normally likes grape everything because it was purple, but hey, red was great. "Thank you, Ander Danders." Pixel made nicknames for anyone and everyone. Except Anthony, because she rarely called him by his first name anyway. He was babe, or baby, or boo, or sexy, or anything else she felt like calling him at the moment. Hell, Pixel made nicknames out of nicknames. Pixel pulled the wrapper off of the lollipop and licked it a few times before she popped it in her mouth, her feet swinging back in forth. Now she only needed socks with ruffles on him and put her hair in pigtails and we'd like a giant kid instead of a tiny teenagers. Pixel smiled around the lollipop and reached up, and began doing braided pig tails.

She smiled more when she heard Anthony's name coming from the loud speakers. She wondered if he would freak out because he was being paged to the medical wing. In a few minutes, he was walking through the door, and Pixel waved at him. She finished her second braid, taking a second pony tail holder from her wrist, tying it around the end of the braid. She wiggled off the table, and skipped over to him, pulling the lollipop from her mouth. "I told Anders, and we' get to ask questions and stuff and he said normally said there was a female present or something for this, so I requested you to be here, because I don't have a girl best friend or anything and it's your baby so I figured you should be here." She stood on her tippy toes and kissed his lips, licking his lip so he could taste some cherry when he licked his lips. She pulled away, smiling. "He gave me a lollipop!" Then stuck it back in her mouth, turning and skipping back to the table, hopping back on it.

Anders smiled as the boy came in. He wanted to shake his head, they were both so damn young. It seemed like a bit of a waste to him, limiting the possibilities for their lives so much. But he wasn’t there to make moral judgments on their choices. He was just there to make sure that everything turned out ok because of the choices they did make. It was just a little sad to him. Children becoming parents always freaked him out a little bit. Heck, adults becoming parents freaked him out a little as well. Perhaps it was just babies he wasn’t so keen on.

He did shake his head as Pixel spoke to the boy. That girl was just so… odd. He couldn’t help but find it endearing. He pulled one of the stool out and pushed it towards Anthony, indicating for him to take a seat. “ That makes it sound considerably worse than it is. I am just talking about a very brief physical exam Pixel. Most girls are more comfortable being poked and prodded at by another woman, or at the very least, having a woman in the room. Don’t worry, this is nothing invasive or at all uncomfortable. I just needed to ask if you wanted someone else here.” he turned his small smile to Anthony. “ You of course aren’t another woman, but if you make her comfortable, then that’s the main focus.”

He nodded a little briskly. “ Alright, so we will get this done as fast as we can so we can get to the business of figuring out where you go from here.” he said. He picked out a fresh pair of gloves “ Pixel, if you could lay back and lift up your shirt plaes.”[/size]

[Anthony Price]

Anthony gave Pixel a small hug when she greeted him. He was trying to follow what she, and then the doctor that put the cast on his arm were saying. If nothing was wrong he didn't understand why he was here until the doctor said exam. He wasn't entirely comfortable of another man looking in places he shouldn't be looking. He moved to the table with Pixel silently. He didn't really have any questions. His dark blue eyes looking at the doctor while he did so. Again he wasn't exactly comfortable with this but he wasn't going to upset Pixel unless he felt there was a reason to.

Then the doc was asking her to lift up her shirt. He took in a deep breath, slowly letting it out to remain calm for this. His hand took Pixel's so she would know it was ok. And that he was there to punch the doctor if needed. He really disliked the staff around here. He didn't really trust any of them. They all claimed to be around because they wanted to help the kids. But talking is one thing .. showing it is another. And he really hasn't observed any one showing whether they cared or not. Except possibly maybe Riley, his history teacher. Letting him slide on his homework was nice of her. But that didn't mean he liked her all that much still. It was just nice of her.
