Thomas wrapped an arm around Jamie and gave him a squeeze before they headed through a pair of swinging doors and into one of the most sterile exam rooms Thomas had ever seen.
He had been gifted with good health for most of his life, which was good because he had also been granted very little money for part of it. He wasn't really used to doctor's offices unless he had brought Jamie in for check-ups. And he had certainly never done anything like this in front of his son before. He did his best to hide his anxiety, however, and when a nurse asked him who would be going first, Thomas raised his hand.
"I'll go," he volunteered. "Do you want me topless? ...er- I mean-"
The nursed saved him by laughing and saying, "it is easier to get things done that way. And jump up on the table. You other two can sit there," she said, pointing to some chairs before bustling out.
Thomas pulled his shirt off and hopped up onto the exam table and he faced Jamie and Kat. "Well, now I'm topless on a table with an audience. This is fine."
