I am. I'm in the clinic in the Tower actually, refilling the supplies there.

How can I help? I can come to you if that would be easier.

I'd rather come to you if you don't mind. It's a bit personal.

I don't mind at all. If it's personal, whatever makes you most comfortable is what I'd want.

[Martha is where she said she was going to be in the clinic area of the Kashtta tower which is to the right of the lobby.

She's restocking the shelves with fresh supplies.]

Thanks.

[ It takes Tonks a few minutes to get down there, several in fact. She could have apparated but that was too instantaneous. Tonks had to think.

What was she going to say? ]

Martha?

[ Tonks pokes her head into the clinic. She then steps all the way in. ]

[LOL you knew what I meant :p] smithnjones January 7 2012, 00:11:26 UTC
[Martha turns to look at her, setting the rest aside and focusing all her attention on Tonks. She takes requests like this seriously, and she wants people to know that they have her full attention if they need anything.

She sets it aside, closes up the doors o the cabinet.]

Yes?

How can I help? You can shut the door behind you if you'd like.

[Indeed! :p ] imwotchingyou January 7 2012, 01:00:06 UTC
[ Without saying another word, Tonks turns and closes the door behind her. ]

You're a Doctor, a proper Muggle one, yeah? D'you know how to test for all different sorts of things?

[ She hasn't turned back around yet. Tonks is working up the courage to say what needs to be said. ]

I need to know if I'm pregnant or not.

[ Nope. Still not turned around! ]

Yeah, I'm a proper doctor. I fell through the Rift right before my first official day, and I've... had quite a bit o experience since.

[Chicago provides plenty of experience for a doctor after all. Martha looks at Tonk's back with concern.

It's at what she says next that Martha feels her chest clench up, and she steps forward, resting a hand on her shoulder.]

I can do that for you.

[She pauses, and this is a bit awkward. I can touch you and know if you're pregnant.

She's never had to use her power for this.] Actually, I'm-- my Rift ability allows me to touch anyone... and know what's going on inside of their body.

If I touch your bare skin, I'd... know.

[ Tonks doesn't pull way but she does flinch. ]

I tried... I brewed a potion. I brewed it twice even, same results. I'd normally go to St. Mungos but I don't exactly have that option. I need definitive proof Martha...

[ She doesn't know about trusting Martha's Rift ability. Tonks lets out a breath. ]

I need to know.

[Martha closes her eyes when she sees her flinch before he opens them again.]

I know you do. I'll fix up a medical test for you. I wouldn't really want to know everything going on in your body if you're only wondering about pregnancy.

It's feel like an invasion of privacy or something.

[she's brought people back from the dead and found cancer before. It's a good ability, but she tries not to use it too frequently.]

Have a seat, alright?

[There's the medical way and then there's buying the pregnancy tests. She has the latter but taking her blood would b definitive proof on top of that.]

[ It's not personal Martha. She doesn't want anything or anyone to touch her at the moment. ]

No, that's not it.

[ Just don't ask her to elaborate. ]

Alright.

[ Tonks looks around and takes a seat. As Martha does whatever it is that Muggles doctors do, she takes a good long look around the clinic. Everything is unfamiliar to her. Everything.

She suddenly feels sick. ]

[Martha certainly understands. She's experienced some rough times in the past, and she'll respect anyone's needs without having to ask for more elaboration.

She doesn't need it. If Tonks wants to elaborate, she can but if she doesn't, that's perfectly find as well. Martha won't touch her. There are others ways of figuring it out after all, non-supernatural ways.]

Okay.

[It's said softly, and Martha does those doctor things in order to figure out if she is pregnant or not.

She'll get her water as well while they wait for the results, and when she has them, she'll give them to Tonks in a quiet, calm voice without touching her. The narration is assuming that that narration meant for Tonks to be pregnant, but she didn't want to godmod in case it was going to be a false alarm but.

Yes.]

[ Tonks had been hoping for a false alarm. She had been hoping that she brewed the potion wrong. She had been hoping for anything other than this.

When Martha confirms her fears, Tonks can feel herself go a bit numb. She calmly sits her glass of water down and then stands up. ]

Thanks.

[ And then she starts for the door of the Clinic. ]

[Martha turns to watch as she starts out the door, and she doesn't go after her, aware that she likely needs the space.

She's here to respect her and give her whatever she needs, whatever she asks of Martha that Martha can provide.]

Tonks.

If you need anything, please, let me know, and I mean anything at all.

[From talking to Martha supporting in other ways.]

[ Tonks pauses after opening the door. ]

Yeah, thanks again Martha.

[ She needs time, time to figure out what to do. ]
