He drummed his fingers on the table next to him. Normally he wouldn't be this anxious, but he was: nervous because he had been feeling really odd, like something was wrong. And Guilty because he hadn't told David about this at all. He knew he should have said something, but he didn't want to worry him if it was nothing. Dave was always very protective about the babies, he probably would have had a heart attack.
Anna rubbed Collins hand,
"You alright to go in alone, or do you want me in there?" Collin loved Anna's accent. she was from a small town in the mountains of Wyoming. She wasn't Dave's biological mom, she'd married Dave's dad when Dave was ten, a year and a half after his mom had just up and left them. Dave's dad's parents knew her, their ranch was right by her family ranch. So they set them up together, and it was instant love. Or at least that's the story Collin was told.
"I'm alright." He smiled and tried to look okay, but it was hard. He was hiding his concerns from everyone. Not even Kurt knew, and he was probably the one person who would understand right now.
Patty motioned for Collin to come into the dark ultrasound room and Collin laid down on the bed. Patty prepared her tools and sat down.
"So, you weren't scheduled for an ultrasound for another three weeks, anything bothering you?" She looked concerned. Normally doctors didn't get too personal with their patients, but Patty had an affection for Kurt and Collin.
Collin looked at the bump on his stomach,
"I just feel like something is wrong." Patty nodded and tilted her head.
"Well lets take a look." Collin lifted up his shirt and she squirted the god awful goo on his stomach and moved her wand around. She typed in her little cryptic codes and took measurements. Collin looked at the little blops on the screen. They didn't look so much like babies as they did aliens. Patty furrowed her brow, then smiled, "On the bright side, I don't see anything majorly wrong. But I do want you to double your food intake. Baby B is looking significantly smaller than its twin."
Collin nodded and thought for a moment,
"Is there anything else we can check? Just to be sure?"
"Well, we can do an amniocenteses to check for genetic problems. Would you want to do that?" Collin nodded, any little thing would help. Patty nodded and left the room to get the things she would need.
Patty came back into the room, and Collins eyes nearly popped out of his head at the sight of the needle. It was about 8 cm, and not very thin. He felt sick to his stomach. Patty saw him turning a little green and quickly took his hand.
"Alright Collin. Breathe. And then I'll tell you what is going to happen, okay?" Collin took a deep breath and nodded. Once he'd calmed down a good bit Patty started to sterilize his belly. "Okay, this is going to go into your uterus, and take some fluid out of the amniotic sac. I'll have to do this twice because you have two in there. It will take about three minutes each, I'll give you a few minutes between to rest. ready?" Collin nodded and closed his eyes.
He felt a strong pressure in the right side of his belly and began to feel nauseous. After the longest two minutes of his life she removed the needle and he emptied his lunch into the garbage bin next to the bed.
Anna helped Collin into the door of the house where Kurt and Blaine were watching TV. Kurt turned and looked, and Blaine got up to help Collin to the couch.
"Collin," Kurt asked, offering the boy his water, "What happened?" Collin sipped the ice water, feeling it his and then slosh around in his empty stomach.
"I had an amniocentesis." Kurt furrowed his brow,
"Why?"
"Just to make sure everything is okay. One of the babies was a little small." Kurt nodded.
"Well David is coming home today, he's all better. His was only a 24 hour stomach bug." Collin smiled.
"Well I'm going to go rest before he gets here." Daves dad -Mike- came over and helped the boy to his feet.
"Lets get you to bed son. Dave'll have an anurisim if he sees you like this."
