Fatal Kiss Of The Vampire

Khloe walked straight to the reception when they reached the private hospital. “Hi, my last name is Finch. I have an appointment with Doctor Polly.”

The receptionist looked up at the source of the voice; it was a young woman wearing large sunglasses and a cap on her head even though it was quite warm that day and not sunny. Her features seemed familiar, but she could not figure out just who the newcomer was.

“Okay, Ma’am, please have a seat in the front. Doctor Polly is with another patient right now, but it won’t take long.” said the receptionist.

Indeed, within ten minutes, Doctor Polly walked out and called Khloe into the patient room, “Please come on in, this is…”

Khloe cut her off, “Doctor Polly, and this is my future mother-in-law, she came along for my appointment.” Khloe said sweetly, introducing Taylor with respect. However, Khloe’s body language implied another story. Doctor Polly understood immediately, fawning, “Wow, you’re blessed to have your mother-in-law come in person with you. That doesn’t happen usually,” she said, laughing out loud.

The Doctor busied herself and turned around facing Khloe and Taylor, “Now, Miss Finch did an ultrasonic examination a few days ago. From a clinical perspective, I don’t suggest a B-mode ultrasound right away because too frequent examinations are sometimes harmful to the baby. But if you insist, we can still try it.”

Taylor was looking forward to seeing her first grandchild but immediately became worried when she heard the Doctor’s words.

Khloe gave Doctor Polly a knowing look and continued talking, “Um…Doctor? Actually, my dear mother-in-law has been really looking forward to seeing the baby through ultrasound. Are there some alternative examinations like a blood test or urine test or something we can do?”

Doctor Polly nodded, “Well, sure, we can always do a blood or urine test, but remember that will only tell us if you’re pregnant or not. It won’t give us the baby’s image; do you understand?”

Taylor immediately nodded, “That’s fine Doctor. If it could be harmful to my grandchild, I can wait until the next appointment.”

“Alright, I’ll get you guys started for a blood sample.” The Doctor replied while grabbing an I. V. start kit. “You had a big breakfast, right?” Doctor Polly asked Khloe.

“Uh-huh,” Khloe nodded. She sat facing the door ensuring Taylor would not be able to see her the arm from which Polly was drawing blood from. However, Khloe noticed that Taylor was not looking at her all; rather, she was reading some informational brochure.

Doctor Polly did not draw much blood either, quickly capping the tube putting aside the blood sample.

“Alrighty, we will send this off to the lab. It will take a couple of hours for the results to come back.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Aww, that is too long. How about a urine test, Doctor?” Taylor piped up, looking at her watch.

The Doctor glanced at Khloe, “Well, yes, we can do a urine test as well. That can let us know immediately if you’re pregnant…”

Seeing Taylor so eager to know the result, Khloe smiled and agreed on doing the urine test.

“Here you go, Khloe, just pee in the cup,” Taylor told Khloe.

Khloe nodded, put her purse down on the table, and walked into the bathroom. Two minutes later, she walked out, handing the cup back to the Doctor who put inside it something like litmus paper.

Both Taylor and Khloe waited eagerly, and within ten minutes, Doctor Polly took out the paper and smiled.

“It’s positive.” The Doctor declared the result even though he faked it.

Immediately, Khloe faked excitement and jumped up and down in her chair, “Did you hear that Taylor? It’s positive. It’s positive! I knew it! See, I was right!”

Taylor smiled but looked at Khloe oddly, “Yes, dear. But … didn’t you had this examination just a few days ago? It seems like you just found out about it now.” Taylor smiled and criticized Khloe gently.

Khloe’s face turned pale, hearing Taylor remarks. Khloe quickly controlled herself and schooled her emotions, indeed realizing she was reacting too happily for someone who already knew she was pregnant. Khloe glanced at Doctor Polly and Taylor shyly and explained, “I get excited when I think I’m carrying Aiden’s baby.” She managed to pretend that she’s happier than her mother-in-law.

“Dear, that is quite normal for a new mother-to-be. Trust me, and I see that all the time.” Doctor Polly started shuffling some papers, “I’ll start a file for you. You need to have a regular exam.”

“No problem. Doctor Polly, please do take good care of Khloe. She’s carrying the fourth generation of our Parker Family!” Taylor smiled, glancing at Khloe warmly without knowing the fact that Khloe has betrayed her.

Khloe and Taylor walked downstairs to the underground parking lot. When the driver was about to start the car, Khloe stopped him by saying aloud, “Wait. I left my bag upstairs at the Doctor’s office.”

“You’re going to be a mom, Khloe. Don’t be so careless.” Taylor glanced at her watch with slight dissatisfaction. She had a dinner date with her friends, and she was late.

“Taylor, you can go if you’re late. I can go back by myself.” Khloe seemed considerate and amenable, ignoring Taylor’s taunt.

Khloe went back to Doctor Polly’s office and drew a thick envelope from her bag, “You deserve this and thank you for helping me today,” Khloe said quietly and handed the cash to the Doctor.

Polly put the envelope in her pocket without hesitation, “Miss Finch, what do you plan to do with the exam next month?”

Khloe knew Doctor Polly was a friend of her mother’s, so she did not need to hide anything from her.

Khloe sat down in a chair, upset, “I have no idea. Aiden won’t touch me anymore since I’m pregnant, so I can’t even get pregnant now!”

“Well, if he’s not touching you, then you must take the initiative.” The Doctor replied with a meaningful smile. He was trying to coax Khloe to seduce Aiden.
