Darren stared at the hospital. It had been five minutes since they pulled up and he was still in the car, frozen.

Lillian put her hand on Darren's. She looked at him, "Hey. It'll all be okay."

Darren nodded and gave a fake smile still staring at the building towering in front of him.

Lillian let out a sigh, "We're going to be late if we don't get going Darren. I'll be with you the entire time."

Darren nodded, "Right, let's go then," He got out of the car and walked into the building were he was immediately greeted by a doctor who told him 'not to worry', and 'today will be a piece of cake'. He sat down in the room he was instructed to and waited for his doctor to come.

“Hello, Mr. Anderson!” A nurse walked into the room pushing a medical tray on a cart and smiling brightly. Darren recognized the nurse from his previous doctor appointments, this nurse loved Darren almost as much as he claimed to hate her. “Hey,” Darren said with an annoyed tone to his voice. She turned her attention to Lillian, “Wow! You didn’t tell me you had a wife.” She said jokingly.
“That’s not funny,” Darren snapped back as he glared at the tray nervously.
“You know, I’ve heard from some other sources that aren’t nearly as snarly with other people, Darren.” She teased him, “Maybe if it wasn’t my job to stick needles in you, you might even like me.”
“After today, I doubt there’ll be a big chance of that happening,” Darren scooted closer to Lillian when she wheeled the tray over.

Lillian rubbed his arm. She looked at the nurse, "Oh trust me. He's always snarly."

The nurse sighed, “C’mon this won’t be that bad! I’ve been kind to you before haven’t I?”
Darren didn’t answer but she had a point, she had been kind and gentle with him as well as endlessly patient.
“Could you take a seat over here for me?” The nurse asked patting the bed. “I need you to lie down.” Darren stood up and shuffled to the bed reluctantly pulling Lillian with him. The tremor in his hand was worse than usual from the nerves.

Lillian came with him. She took his hand and began rubbing it with her thumb

Darren leaned back on the bed slowly and shakily. “All right,” The nurse said, “Here’s the plan, we are going to numb your arm first so you won’t feel anything, then we’re gonna–”
“Can you just do it?” Darren interrupted abruptly, “A play by play will only increase the nerves,”
“Sure,” she agreed, wiping his arm down with an antiseptic wipe, “If you change your mind and need me to talk you through it make sure to let me know, all right honey?”
Darren jerked his chin down in nervous acknowledgment.

Lillian made sure she was out of the nurses way and on the side of Darren that wasn't going to be numbed. That way he could always know she was there even if he couldn't see her. Though the needle was making her a bit nervous.

The nurse took a hypodermic needle from the tray and stuck it into Darren’s arm so quickly he barely had enough time to react. He squeezed Lillian’s hand maybe to hard.

Lillian winced a bit at the pressure on her hand. Her body could handle this, it wasn't anything new.

“See? You almost didn’t even know I was doing that one did you?” The nurse patted Darren on the shoulder. Darren let out a fluttery, nervous laugh. It was all nerves and no humor.

Lillian noticed his nervous laughter. She said nothing and stayed there for him.

“How’s it feeling?” The nurse asked.
“Numb,” Darren moved his fingers around, “I don’t like it.”
“You’ll have your feeling back into time, I'm sure,” She pulled more things off the tray “I know you said you didn’t want the commentary on this but I need you to know a few things. You need to tell me if you feel any sort of cold sensation in your neck or hear a rushing sound in your ears.”
Darren’s eyes widened and his voice hitched, “Yeah, okay.”
