Eva hesitantly entered the hospital. She hadn't been there since the day Hotaru and Aiden had to go from the big fight. The blond shook her head, trying to forget all the memories from that terrible day. So much had changed since then, and whether Eva liked it or not she had to face it.
Now, coming back to why she was there in the first place. She had no clue about being a parent, or even what she was suppose to do or eat during the pregnancy. She didn't know anyone that was a mother, so where was the next best place to go? The hospital, right? She thought so at least.
The pregnant(2 months pregnant to be exact) blond made her way to the front desk, feeling a little awkward. "Hey, I, uh," she didn't know what she was suppose to say. "Uhh, I'm pregnant, and I, uh, I'm not too sure what I'm suppose to do...." she said to the lady in a hushed tone. God, she'd never been so embarrassed in her life!

Judy sighed and smiled at the blond haired girl. "Have a seat sweetie and we'll call you up, usually you're supposed to have an appointment for these but I'll get you set up. If you will, just fill out this paperwork and I'll see what I can do" She grabbed her phone and dialed a number.
The line picked up. "This is Doctor Stevens."
"Hello Doctor, this is Judy. There's a young lady up here who says she's pregnant. She doesn't have an appointment but I can see a bump. Would you take her?"
"Sure thing Judy, call Miss Azuma to be the attending RN."
"Yes sir, right away sir. Thank you." The line clicked and Judy hung it up then picked it back up and turned on the loud speaker. "Nurse Azuma, you're needed at the ER front desk. Nurse Azuma at the front desk."
Keisko was drinking a cup of coffee while on her break and jumped at the sound of her name. She cleaned up the circle of coffee on the table and stood up quickly and made her way out of the cafeteria. She reached the front desk quickly and smiled at Judy. "Yes ma'am how can I help you."
"You have a patient, as soon as she turns in her paperwork. Pregnancy." Judy nodded to the blond in the waiting room. Keisko nodded and went to get her room ready. "Oh, Doc Stevens is the attending physician." Judy called down the hall. Keisko thanked her loudly and continued her work.

Eva sighed and took the paper and sat down. She stared at it for a short moment, followed by trying her best to fill in the information. She silently hoped whoever was going to see her wouldn't know Anthony and recognize the two as siblings. She wasn't ready for her family to find out she went and got herself knocked up by a guy she only sorta knew. THAT would not be a great reunion.
After a couple of minutes, the Tora finally got everything down and made her way back to the front desk. "Here." she muttered awkwardly to the lady. Please don't let her recognize the last name...

Judy took the paperwork from her and started inputting it in the computer, she noticed the name and just raised an eyebrow while going back to her work.
Keisko walked up and Judy handed her the clipboard. "There you are dear. Seems like this girl has some family ties to our hospital by the way. I think she's Shimazaki's sister. You know the neurologist?" Keisko shook her head. She didn't care anyways, Keis wasn't one for gossip. Judy usually wasn't and the nurse didn't see her spreading a rumor or anything.
"Thanks Judy." She smiled and looked over the chart then opened the door and stood out in the waiting room. "Eva Shimazaki?" She called the name twice, earning a few groans from the other waiting patients.

Eva sighed, she saw that little recognition in the lady's expression. Oh well, as long as Anthony didn't find out too soon it was okay she guessed.
The blond looked over at the girl that called her name. "Right here." she said, making her way to where the girl was standing. She looked about Eva's age, or slightly younger at the least, not that the ex gangster was too concerned over that. She just wanted someone to tell her what would be best for her child.

Keisko smiled. "If you'll just follow me and we'll get you started." She led Eva back to the triage room. "If you would stand on the scale so we can get your weight and height." She grabbed the thermometer and walked back over to the girl. "If you would, stick this under your tongue." she said holding the device.

Eva sighed, but did what she was told anyway. She stood on the scale(though she didn't see the point, she knew very well how much she weighed and her height), and took the thermometer fr her temperature. Again, she saw it as pointless, but if it was for the kid she could tolerate it.
After all of that was done the blond Tora looked back at the nurse. "So, what's all gonna happen baby-wise?" she asked curiously.

Keisko took the rest of Eva's vitals and noted them on the chart. She'd transfer them to the computer later. "Well, we're going to get your medical history to get a good idea on how healthy you are. Then the doctor will do a pelvic exam, pap smear, breast exam, and an ultrasound. I'll need you to pee in this cup," she handed her the cup and continued. "so we can get your sugar and protein levels. I'll also do your blood pressure and we'll do some blood work. Here's your gown," She handed that to her as well. "after you come back with your urine sample, go into exam room 2 and you can put that on. Nothing underneath please. I'll come in and do your blood work and get your blood pressure after that. Any questions?" Keisko smiled at the blond, knowing she had to be confused and would very soon be much more uncomfortable. It was all for the baby though so she hoped the woman wouldn't be too outlandish.

Eva's jaw dropped at the nurse's explanation. "Why the Hell do I gotta pee in a cup? I did that when I found out I was pregnant!" And the gown, it'd make her feel all exposed. The Tora was starting to remember why she hated hospitals, it was like it was their MISSION to make the patient feel awkward or something. Why Anthony decided to hang out with these people was beyond her.

Keisko cringed, slightly expecting the reaction. "We have to check your sugar and protein levels. You're probably going to have to take one every time you come in for an appointment while you're pregnant. Sorry, I can't really change that. So if you would, go ahead and I'll be in the room after you're done. Any other questions while we're here?"

Eva was silent for a moment, deciding which would be the best option for her. Leaving right then and there sounded pretty good, but then again it wouldn't be the right thing for the kid...
With a sigh, she reluctantly took the gown and cup. "Fine." she muttered. She was glad she didn't let Aiden come with her to this, he'd no doubt be laughing right about now if he saw this. She muttered on her way to the room she was directed to. "Stupid Aiden, stupid forest, stupid..." the list went on as she named off practically everything leading up to the little miracle in her tummy.

Keisko sighed went to the front desk to grab the computer. She started putting in the information and all the vitals when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped and looked back quickly. "Dr. Stevens! You scared me!" she exclaimed clutching the laptop. She wasn't sure why but she was kind of on edge that day.
He chuckled and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry. How's our patient?"
Keisko filled him in on the things he needed to know."She's in the restroom at the moment. I'm waiting until she's in her gown and ready in the room. Then I'll do the blood work. After that I'll be calling you." She answered with a smile. "I don't think she's had any tests done, but I told her she would be getting the pap, pelvic, and other tests that are normal for a visit. She looks to be about 2 months in. I'll be getting her history first off."
Dr. Stevens nodded. "Just let me know when you need me. I'm going to check on another patient." Keisko nodded and the doctor turned and left. She sighed and went back to her work, waiting on the patient.

After a couple of moments Eva hesitantly poked her head out of the room she was in. She had her jacket tied around her waist to cover... what was exposed while she tried to get the nurse's attention. "A-alright! What now?!" she asked impatiently. "I wanna get this over with already!"

Keisko grabbed her equipment and laptop and went to the room. She shut the door behind her. "Okay, you can lay down on the bed. I know the back doesn't shut all the way and it can be really uncomfortable."
"First off I'm just going to ask you some questions concerning your medical history. How far along are you? Have you or anyone in your family had any diseases and have the father of the child had any? Are you or the father on any medications at the moment? And I'm assuming this is your first pregnancy correct? Does the father have any exposure to chemicals or anything on the job?"

Eva paused as she tried her best to answer the questions. "Uh... I'm about two months I think. Neither of us talk to family these days so I don't know... No meds... ummm..." she scratched her head. "That's really all I can answer..."
