Shy-Diapers Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 (You could take over Daisys part of you'd like. A 13 year old girl.) "Now this might hurt a little." The nurse said as she prepared to take the blood samples from Faith. "Now just let me see your arm and we can do this quickly." Faith was willing to cooperate, up until she saw the needle. Then she started getting nervous. She tucked her arms away and hid in Jacks chest. "No shots!" She cries into his shoulder. Link to comment
justagirl4fun Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 "Honey, it'll only take a minute. If you don't let the nurse take some blood for tests, the doctor won't let you go home. You can stay right on my lap and if it hurts, you squeeze my hand as tight as you can, okay?" Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Faith took a deep breath and nodded. She wanted to go home more than anything.

Can you come get us?" he asked as, having ridden in the ambulance with Faith, he didn't have his car there. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Faith leaned against Jack and yawned. "Daddy I'm tired." She said rubbing her eyes being exhausted from the seizure and the tests and fears. Link to comment
