making the rounds [[ota]]

[island_juliet]

After seeing a small patient with a big cut on his arm (not paying attention while running down stairs can be dangerous), Juliet makes her way to the nurse's station to chit-chat, then heads into her office to take care of some patient charts she inherited. Making a few rounds, she finally ends her day back in her office, taking off her lab coat

"Hey ya Doc," Sam has been looking for Mike, to no avail, and with a bag of food from the Mexican food place and a six pack he was happy to run into Juliet instead.

Mike was sort of a downer lately anyway.

[island_juliet]

Juliet grins, tilting her head to the side.

"Fancy meeting you here," she says, pleased though to see him.

[i_got_a_buddy]

"Well, I was out this way and thought..." sue him, he'd been half hoping to run into her.

[island_juliet]

"Well, I'm glad you thought." She eyes the bag and can smell the food.

"And you have something to eat. I might just follow you home, Sam Axe."

Vianne was here with Mimi for their six-month checkup, sitting in the waiting room and singing softly so the baby would stay asleep for now.

[island_juliet]

"Vianne and Mimi?" Juliet calls. They're her last appointment of the day, and she smiles, waiting to lead Vianne back.

[clevernorthwind]

Vianne stands and picks up the bag full of baby things. Mimi is strapped securely to her chest, and wakes up with the movement. She smiles, though, when she sees Juliet smiling at them, and waves her arms as Vianne follows the other woman to the room.

Juliet leads them to a room before speaking. "Hello little one," she can't help but smile again. "Aren't you a happy baby."

Then, she turns her attention to the girl's mother. "You can take her out of there, and we can start. Now, I haven't been her primary doctor. Who normally is?"

There was a knock on her office door. Outside in the hall was Cliff and he had a small box of doughnut holes with him in various delicious flavours.

[island_juliet]

"Come on in," she calls, taking of her glasses to look up at whomever was coming in to see her.

[deliversbabies]

He opened the door and gave Juliet, a woman who he knew, but hadn't really had much time to get to know yet, a smile. "I was hoping you might help be out with a little dilemma." Even though by all intensive purpose he looked fine and jovial.

[island_juliet]

She's definitely seen him around, and she smiles at him.

"And what would that be?"

She was going into her fourteenth week of pregnancy and she was only showing a little, if you knew where to look. Kyla's active lifestyle, even though she dialed it down a lot, meant she was really only growing in the belly region. Despite all this, it didn't stop from her experiencing tremendous back pain.

Kyla had read that it was normal, though, from one of the pamphlets at the clinic so she hadn't returned to the clinic to see Juliet yet. She didn't want to come off as a bother for something Kyla was stubbornly determined to manage.

She was trying to carry her groceries home, but the more she walked, the more the pain increased. The muscles in her face tensed and her eyes showed the most discomfort before she had to move and sit down on the bench. Sitting down was done slowly and once she sat, Kyla still didn't look comfortable or relaxed.

[island_juliet]

Hands in her pockets, Juliet finally rounds a corner toward the hotel when she sees Kyla and tilts her head a bit to the side. Making her way over, she makes sure the young woman can see her, rather than approach from behind.

"People just don't get how much it sucks being pregnant, even when you aren't showing yet."

[deathtotoasters]

Kyla let out a long, low exhaled as she tried to calm herself. Her dogs sat on the far side of the bench, one watching the street and the other watching her.

"It's normal, though, right? To want to dig my back out?" Kyla always worried what she was feeling wasn't normal.

[island_juliet]

"Oh yeah. I started feeling it about week ten, so congratulations. You held out a lot longer than I did. But a warm bath helps, or even the hot tub on the roof so that you can float a little. Really get that pressure off."
