DISCOVERY

Jesse settled down for his afternoon nap and Maria agreed to watch him while Kate and Jack went to see the doctor. It was rather awkward in the limousine with Jack on one side of Kate and Marnie on the other.

Upon arriving at the doctor’s office, Jack was given a stack of papers to fill out while Kate sat anxiously in the waiting room to be seen. To make matters worse, once the nurse showed Kate to the exam room, Jack and Marnie followed. Now sitting on the exam table draped in a dressing gown that opened in the front, Kate looked over at Jack and Marnie as they huddled in two separate chairs in the crowded little room.

Dr. Bloom entered and upon seeing Marnie, a huge smile formed on his aged face. He was tall and about the same age as Marnie, though his hair was totally grey.

“Marnie, what a pleasant surprise.” Dr. Bloom walked over to the attractive woman to greet her.

“Allan, how are you?” Marnie gave her formal exchange of hug, kiss, then smile.

“So what brings you here?” He asked, seeing a rugged, sandy-haired man frowning in the corner seat and a pretty blond, the spitting image of the older woman, on the exam table.

“Allan, this is my daughter, Kathryn,” said Marnie. “She’s visiting from out of town.”

“So what brings you to see me?” He inquired as his attention now rested on the nervous young woman.

“I think my milk duct is clogged again,” explained Kate.

“I take it you’re nursing?” He gave her a warm smile.

She nodded yes.

“And I assume this is your husband?” he said, looking over at the man with his arms folded over his chest.

“Yes, that’s Jack,” Kate smiled at her husband before returning her attention back to the doctor.

“Well, let’s have a look,” said Dr. Bloom. “Why don’t you lie back, Kathryn.”

Kate lay back against the exam table and Dr. Bloom discreetly opened the one side of her gown. He began his examination, pushing and pressing against her breast. Jack sat up in his chair and closely watched.

“You’re doing the wrong side,” said Jack, arching his back as if annoyed.

He jumped from his chair and was by Kate’s side in a split second. He moved the doctor’s hands away and parted the other side of her gown then pressed and lifted on her other breast.

“This is where the lump is,” he declared, tapping on the fleshy area along the side of her breast.

“Jack, please,” said Kate, and she nervously laughed, looking apologetically at Dr. Bloom.

“It’s customary to check both breasts, young man so I can get a feel for what is normal and what isn’t,” he stated in a rather clinical manner.

“Oh.” Jack chuckled in the same fashion as Kate.

He released his hand and stepped back. Dr. Bloom examined her other breast under the scrutiny of her husband’s watchful eye.

“How long have you had this lump?” He asked his patient.

“A couple of months,” she replied. “It comes and goes.”

He nodded and continued to feel the nodule with his fingers.
