Who: Sonya, Shang, Dr. Cameron
Where: New York City
When: Monday morning ( July 14)
Why: Sonya's getting her first baby-related check up.

It seemed that once she even began to admit that she may be pregnant, the symptoms became harder to ignore. The headaches lasted longer, even after she'd gone to bed, she would wake up to a headache, and she thought the constant tiredness was bad enough-she actually had to go to bed at an earlier hour or risk oversleeping.

Shang agreed to go with her, though Sonya had a feeling he would've gone anyway, letting her drive so she could go immediately from the doctor's to her work and then back to the mansion.

Sonya was dressed in her BDUs, and when they stepped into the building, she couldn't help but feel apprehension. This was one of the few times she'd gone to the hospital willingly and with no urgency, not unconscious or close to threatening a doctor just to have a moment with a seriously wounded team member.

The waiting room was only half full as the couple stepped to the front desk. "Hello," it was a matter of pride that Sonya could keep her voice professional when she was still tense. "I'm Sonya Blade, I have an appointment with Dr. Cameron." The receptionist looked at a paper from a stack and nodded, telling them to 'have a seat, and that Dr. Cameron will be here shortly'.

	"All set and staying." She put her feet in the stirrups, taking a deep breath. 'This isn't awkward at all.' she thought sarcastically. "So..what exactly are you looking for?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just a regular pelvic exam, that's all. It's standard, just to make sure you're all healthy.." which then she started to do. Thankfully she was pretty gentle and thorough, and eventually told her it was all over. She threw everything away and smiled, "Okay.. you get dressed and I'll be right back with your pre-natal vitamins." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sonya got dressed and waited until she came back.

"Aside from when and how to take these, I have a few questions. one, aside from what I shouldn't drink like caffeine or alcohol, anything else I should know and two.." She looks at Shang a moment. "I'm an officer in the army, and they're having me transfer to England in a few weeks. Is that ok, or should I try to extend my stay here?"

A couple minutes later she came back with everything that she'd need, including a bunch of prescriptions of which she held out to her. "Let's see.. you should avoid MSG, anything like olestra or saccharin that's a fake food substance.. avoid uncooked meat and fish of course.. though fish is good, I'd avoid any other type of seafood.. there's a book I could give you.. we've got a bunch of this stuff.."

She hm'd a bit, "Depends on how you're getting over there. I'd avoid using portkeys all together. They're too turbulent. But going by airplane's just fine, no reason you can't travel."

	Sonya couldn't help but look wide eyed at the prescriptions, nodding. "So basically avoid the mess hall on Base altogether. A book would be good, to know what's what." She laughed, "I was going to take a plane anyway, can't move anything save yourself with a portkey." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I can get you one of those sure.." she just had to find them. "Yeah.. just.. I dunno, eat like you would if you were on a diet, but for two people. Healthy stuff.." she started to rifle around things. "Sorry.. I don't.. know exactly where everything is around here yet.. oh here we go.." she picked up some brochures and handed them over.

Cameron grinned, "Well I was hoping not, but you never know with some people."

	That got another nod. "I've been moving from base to base since I can remember, I've got it down pat." She looked at the brochures. "uh, this might sound awkward, but before Tsung arrived 'here' he said that I was already pregnant and going through morning sickness-any actual remedies, or should I just 'suck it up and wait for it to pass'?"

"Let's see.. tea can help.. peppermint or ginger especially. Ginger's good for relieving all kinds of upset stomach problems.. the vitamin B6 is supposed to help.. and you can buy actual ginger supplements.. ginger ale's good. Just about anything you'd normally do for an upset stomach.." she rattled off, "And there's of course a bunch of.. products you can try that are supposed to help and keep you hydrated.. it's better to eat small meals throughout the day then two or three big ones.."

Shang Tsung hadn't meant to sound rash, or impatient. He genuinely had no clue how these things work as had never went to the Doctor on Outworld. He listened to everything, and caught on well enough. He found Sonya's thoroughness to be refreshing, because he himself was very thorough. He didn't directly reply to Sonya's comments, but he tried to listen as intently as possible to show interest. He wasn't quite sure about moving to London, but money wouldn't be an issue on that.

Everything else he made a mental note of, and wasn't surprised that he and Sonya had followed by most of these rules in Outworld... it seemed most everything was pretty logical.

	"Thank you, I just wanted to make sure." She got up off the table. "Do you have a number or address, incase I need to contact you later on? I can do that right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah sure.. I can do that.." she reached into her lab coat pocket and pulled out one of her cards. "That has email and my number on it if you need me for any reason. We're pretty good at being able to hop around since of the portkeys, though I'm sure there are lots of really good doctors in London.."

She smiled at both of them, "It was nice meeting you both.. and congratulations.."

	"Thanks." She takes the card. "I'm sure there are, but I'd rather just stick with one doctor, since transferring means answering the same questions to a different doctor and papers can get lost or delayed in transfer and I'd like to know the results of the blood tests as soon as possible. She smiled uneasily. "And thanks." (Reply to this) (Parent)
