Visiting Doctor MacTaggart [open to Moira and Mortimer]

[vicioussweetie]

Ali sat on the bed in the exam room, trying not to fidget. The paper gown was uncomfortable and somehow more embarrassing than being nude, and she didn't know what to expect. Everyone had tried to be nice to her, but she was still nervous--too nervous to read, even, which was nearly unheard-of. She hoped the doctor would come in soon.

Moira bustled in with a fresh file folder and pen. "Good afternoon, Alison." She smiled warmly. "Well, to start with, there's a few questions to sort out before proceeding. When was yuir last physical, and is there anything particularly unusual about yuir own physiology I need to know about, whether it's superhuman abilities, other preternatural qualities, or a known medical condition?" Best to know from the starts what "norm" to be evaluating things in terms of.

*Mortimer, who has been sitting in a chair in the corner nods absently at the mention of government experiments in a 'been there, seen that' kind of way.*

So there's no special risk? *He looks relieved.*

Moira smiles, and chooses her words. "There are always differences in metabolism and biochemistry, so it's best to moniter carefully just to make sure nothing too unusual happens, but essentially: nae." She looks at both of them. "I'd like to have an ultrasound at the end of the second month."

"Okay."

Just in case, is there anything we should be looking out for?

She hears him, her gaze shifting between both of them. "If the morning sickness or dizziness just seems too extreme, or yuir temperature gets too high, call me, and we'll check a few things. Otherwise...." She eyes Mortimer with a smile. "Try nae to work yuirself up too much worrying, ye'd be a lot less use." She then closes the folder and looks at them both. "If there's nae other questions, I think we're done. I'll give ye a chance to get dressed. I'm afraid I have to look in on someone. Plesae talk to Annie on the way out to schedule the next appointment, and get any contact information ye need from her."

"Thank you, Doctor. I will."
