casenotes - all this with one bit of blood and one scan

Jul 09, 2005 20:33

*sighs* Good lord. I don't want to have to be the one to explain all of this ...
( If you're not a typist, Katherine DeQuincy, Victoria Wotton, Suzanne le Tourney, Armand St Just, Alistair McKeon, Jeanne Lange or Fleur Delacour, you can't read this part )

I... what does all this mean? *looks lost* Is it why I'm not well? *bites lip*

dequincy July 10 2005, 09:31:49 UTC

Very much so. I'll explain each term if you want because my typist knows what they mean too, but ... basically, well.

*quietly*

You were pregnant, Lady Wotton, but something went wrong with it due to the stress you were under, and the fertilization was ectopic. I'm so sorry. I really wish I didn't have to tell you this ...

ladywotton July 10 2005, 09:37:33 UTC

...

...oh, but you-- you must be mistaken, because I couldn't be... I just-- I couldn't...

*freezes* ...were? ...ectopic? I'm afraid I don't-- oh, I...

dequincy July 10 2005, 09:42:28 UTC

Really, I ... want to be wrong. A lot.

But I had colleagues screen, and everything ... nothing. Results are totally conclusive.

... is there anything you want me to explain, first off, before I talk about treating it?

ladywotton July 10 2005, 09:48:41 UTC

*just sort of... stares* So, I... it's true, I mean, that I... oh, but I didn't think--

*composes self-- but barely* I- I never wanted, but-- but I... *little sob* ...I lost my baby...?

dequincy July 10 2005, 09:50:46 UTC

I'm just -- I -- oh.

*wraps one arm around Vic's shoulder*

It happened to me, too. I'm so sorry, really. Whomever this Chauvelin fellow is, he's guilty of another death, and isn't going to get off with it.

*starts sobbing and leans into Katherine for support*

*has nothing to say, so just cries for the moment*

dequincy July 10 2005, 09:56:29 UTC

*does her best to be supportive, and just ends up joining in*

*tears can be cathartic, logic says, and Katherine knows this to be true - so she isn't one to interrupt*

ladywotton July 11 2005, 05:21:18 UTC

*after most of the sobbing's done and has slowed to silent tears...*

...you-- you said... treatment?

sweariwontdie July 10 2005, 13:46:48 UTC

Victoria?

ladywotton July 10 2005, 23:21:19 UTC

*pulls away, still sobbing* ...Armand? Oh, Armand, my god...

sweariwontdie July 10 2005, 23:31:22 UTC

*reaches out to hug her* *hesitates* I'm so sorry.

ladywotton July 11 2005, 01:37:02 UTC

*clings to him and puts her head on his shoulder* I didn't even know, Armand... I didn't even know...

sweariwontdie July 11 2005, 01:40:44 UTC

*kisses her hair and cradles like she's made of glass* I didn't either. How could we?

ladywotton July 11 2005, 01:46:12 UTC

*has spells of crying in between mostly-silence* I'm sorry... I just thought I was sick... I just...

sweariwontdie July 11 2005, 01:52:19 UTC

*cuddles her* I know you did. You didn't do anything wrong. I am just so sorry. *bites his lip* Any child of yours would have been beautiful.
