The Good Sister
“The next day Simone got out of bed at nine a.m., drank six glasses of water, put on a loose blouse and a skirt with an elastic waistband, and took a taxi to her obstetrician’s office, leaving Merell, Olivia, and the twins with Franny.
After sitting in the waiting room for twenty minutes trying not to think about her full bladder, she was shown to an examination room and directed to lie down. A nurse wearing scrubs patterned with Disney characters asked her to pull down her skirt and on Simo...ne’s exposed stomach she applied a clear gel, warning her first that it might be chilly. The woman spoke as if by rote and Simone knew what she was going to say before the words were out of her mouth. She warmed the transducer between the palms of her hands before she laid it on Simone’s abdomen. Again she warned of chilliness. After listening a moment she grinned and said, “That’s a good strong heartbeat. I’ll call the doctor.”
Simone had been with the same obstetrician since her first pregnancy.MoreLess
