You wouldn't believe the scene at the airport—I mean, who expects a police dog to take interest in a pregnant belly? But there he was, barking his head off, and his handler, Jeffrey, looked as baffled as I felt. "Sorry, ma'am, this has never happened before," he said, scratching his head. They decided to take me to see Dr. James, the airport's on-call doctor. As I waited nervously, I couldn't help but wonder what on earth was going on. When Dr. James finally spoke, his face turned serious, delivering news I never saw coming...
Dr. James's office was bright and sterile, contrasting the chaos in my mind. As I stepped inside, nerves rattled in my chest, echoing the dog's frantic bark. Everything felt surreal. I half-expected the doctor to laugh and say it was a joke. Yet, there he was, serious and calm, motioning for me to sit down. I could see his gaze darting between his notes and my belly, as if piecing together a puzzle.
Jeffrey followed me into the office, offering a reassuring nod. 'We'll figure this out,' he said, his voice a steady anchor in my swirling worries. His presence was comforting. It was strange how quickly this police officer had become an integral part of this odd day. He stood nearby, observing silently but intently, as if ready to spring into action at the slightest hint of trouble.
Dr. James sat down with my medical file in hand, flipping through the pages thoughtfully. My heart thudded loudly in the quiet room. 'Hmm,' he muttered, tapping his pen on the desk. I watched his eyes scan the paperwork, one page after another. Finally, he looked up with an enigmatic smile. 'Well, let's run a few more checks, just to be sure everything's alright,' he suggested, leaving my mind racing with possibilities.
With a nod, Dr. James called in a nurse to start a series of checks. As they bustled about, my pulse quickened. I tried to steady my breathing, though each tick of the clock seemed to echo the dog's barks, fueling my worry. Jeffrey gave me an encouraging smile, as if silently saying everything would turn out fine, and his confidence felt like a warm blanket on a cold night.
The preliminary exams started, but I couldn't shake the image of the dog's wild barking. It was like he sensed something deeply wrong. I shivered involuntarily, trying to focus on the task at hand, but the memory was relentless. Dr. James painted a reassuring picture, speaking softly as the nurse worked, but the dog's warning rang louder in my head with each passing minute.
