“No It’s just going to take a while to get all the pictures we need Do you think you can lie on the little table really still for me?”
She nodded, but the anxiety didn’t leave her face
“Raider’s outside,” Flick said, taking the diaper bag from me “I’ll have hio with you to the hospital”
My own anxiety skyrocketed at the idea of Max leaving uess I had to have Flick take hierms of the hospital if he didn’t need to Hell, I didn’t want to expose Lexa, but there was no getting around it
Jet held his ar her head on his shoulder as we all walked outside together Raider aiting beside Quinn’s car, but it didn’t have a car seat yet, so Jet gave hirabbed Lexa’s booster from the back seat
Tenroo it was a Saturday, but that also meant less staff Jet sat doith Lexa on his lap, her head once again cradled on his shoulder, while he rubbed her back
I stood there watching them as I waited for the receptionist to appear so I could hand over the MRI order Jet was so good with kids I wanted him and Flick to be able to have babies of their own, but even if they couldn’t, I kneould be okay They could adopt, and he would love them just the same
As soon as the tech appeared, she took the order and waved us back “You can’t be in there with her during the procedure,” the woet comfortable before the MRI starts It will help calm her to know you’re with her at first”
Lexa had to
put on a hospital gohich she didn’t like, but the tech gave her a teddy bear to hold on to with her good arm while I helped her lie down on the narrow table and wrapped her in a blanket
“I’ to be during the test
I bent over her, kissing her brow “Let’s pretend you’re in a cave with your teddy,” I suggested “Close your eyes and iine you’re on an adventure, but hold really, really still, okay? The less you move, the quicker it will be over”
The tech pushed the button to move the table back into the ht, but she quickly calmed dohen I reminded her to close her eyes Reluctantly, I followed the tech out when she directed me to
“It shouldn’t be too long,” the wo her out as soon as we’re done”
“Can’t I wait here?”
