Before they went into the examination room the nurse stopped at the scale and height chart, so the nurse could check the two year old's weight and height. Evie sighed when she looked at the nurse's serious and frowning face as she wrote down the information about the toddler on her nurse chart.

Evie knew from the look on the nurse's face that the toddler was underweight and most likely short for her age and the nurse was obviously worried about it. Which she already figured due to her sister not technically being fully developed and also living on the Isle with barely any food for her first two years even if she did spend her first two years as a teenager.

After taking the toddler's weight and height the nurse led them into the examination room. Evie just sat the toddler down on the examination table and stood to the side next to her trying to keep the tiny toddler from getting upset.

After they had the toddler situated on the table the nurse took out a measuring tape and put it around the toddler's small head to measure her head circumference and check her brain growth.

Mal just looked at the strange lady in confusion as she didn't understand what the lady was doing to her head and why she was wrapping something around her head. "Ebie wa se do wing?" the small toddler asked her big sister in fear and confusion.

Evie just looked at the tiny toddler as she didn't know what to say. She didn't know what the nurse was doing either since she lived on the Isle as a child and didn't see the doctor until she was older. They didn't do that with older kids.

Evie just looked at the nurse as she began to ask her questions wanting to know what the nurse was doing. "So um what are you doing with that? Why are you measuring her head size? Should I be concerned about the size of her head because I didn't realize that head size mattered," the young girl began to ramble worridly to the nurse.

The nurse just smiled at the clearly worried girl as she thought it was cute how concerned she was about her little sister. "No it's perfectly fine. I was just measuring the circumference of her head, so I could track her brain growth. There is nothing to be worried about, everything seems to be normal and on track. However I am a bit concerned about her weight and height. She seems to be pretty underweight and small for her age. Are you making sure that she's eating three meals a day plus at least one or two snacks in between?" the nurse asked the teen as she was concerned about the young girl's eating habits.

Evie just smiled a bit at the nurse as she answered her. "Yeah she's definitely eating three meals a day and I'm giving her plenty of snacks and they are pretty healthy foods. She's just small for her age because she was born on the Isle and lived there for about two years. I'm trying to help her gain the weight though, but it's kinda hard since she's so far behind," Evie told the nurse as she looked over at the tiny girl who was distracted and playing with some popsicle sticks.

The nurse just smiled back at the girl as she went back over to try and take the toddler's blood pressure and temperature. As soon as the nurse placed the blood pressure machine on the toddler she began to cry and scream as she didn't like the feeling of the machine tightening on her tiny finger.

"Aw Mal it's okay. She's not hurting you. I know it feels tight. I don't like that thing either, but she's almost done. Just focus on me," Evie told her crying sister as she tried to distract her and stop her from crying. Mal just looked at Evie as she stopped crying. She trusted her big sister and if her big sister said it was okay she believed her. The nurse then took the tiny girl's temperature and wrote it down before leaving, so the doctor could come in.

When the nurse left Evie turned to the small girl and she gave her a smile. "Hey Mal you're doing great. It's almost over. You are being such a brave girl. I know this is scary, but it's almost over and then you can get a prize and I'll get you a new toy. How does that sound?" Evie told her little sister. She hated this and she wanted to make her sister feel better especially because she was pretty sure that Mal was going to need shots and that would be absolute pure torture.

Mal just smiled and giggled at her big sister who was trying to make her feel better about being at the doctors. After about ten or fifteen minutes that doctor entered the room with a smile as he greeted the young teen and the toddler. Mal just looked at the strange man in confusion and fear especially when he began to try to place his metal circle thing on her.

Mal just tried to back up as she didn't know what he was doing and she didn't like it. The doctor, noticing the small girl's fear, just smiled at her as he handed her the stethoscope. "Hey this is a stethoscope it helps me hear your heartbeat. Here do you wanna try it? You can use it to listen to my heart beat," the doctor told the tiny girl trying to ease her fears of the strange new item.

Mal just looked at the doctor as she shook her head and pointed to Evie. The doctor smiled as he looked over at the toddler. "Do you want to hear your big sister's heart beat with the stethoscope?" the doctor asked the tiny girl with a smile as he watched the girl nod her head up and down.

The doctor just gave the teen a friendly smile. "Do you mind letting her use the stethoscope on you? Sometimes it makes kids less afraid when they get the opportunity to try out the tools beforehand," the doctor told the young teen with a smile.

Evie just let out a smile as she looked at the tiny girl who was wearing the stethoscope that was way too big for her. "I don't mind at all. Hey Mal, do you wanna use the stethoscope on me?" Evie asked the toddler and smiled when the tiny girl smiled and shook her head up and down as she placed the stethoscope on her big sister.

The tiny girl began to giggle as she listened to her big sister's heart beat. The doctor smiled as he took the stethoscope back. "Are you ready to let me use the stethoscope on you now?" the doctor asked the tiny girl and he smiled when the girl nodded allowing him to place the stethoscope on her.

When he was done testing her heartbeat he tried to check her ears, mouth, and eyes with the tool that he had, but she just started crying again. The doctor just smiled at the girl as he handed her the tool to hold. "Do you want to be my little helper? You can help me by examining your sister. How does that sound? You can see for yourself how non scary these tools are," the doctor told the toddler and smiled when the girl nodded and stopped crying. As she began to giggle while playing doctor with her sister.

That's how it went for the next few minutes the doctor would try to test something with one of his tools, the toddler would get upset, he would let the toddler use the tool on Evie and then the toddler would be comfortable enough to allow him to use it on her. When the doctor was done with that part he began to lay her down to feel her stomach and test out her reflexes.

Mal immediately began to cry not liking how the doctor was pushing on her stomach and playing with her legs. "Mal hey it's okay. You're almost done, that's pretty much it," Evie told the tiny girl as she picked her up and began to soothe her once the doctor was done.

When the doctor was finished with the actual exam he began to ask Evie questions about the toddlers behavior and eating habits along with her sleeping patterns. Evie managed to answer the questions easily. The doctor then smiled as he looked at the tiny toddler. "Have you started potty training yet and have you taken her to a dentist yet?" the doctor asked the young teen as he looked at the tiny toddler in her arms.

Evie just looked at the doctor with worry. "No I haven't started potty training yet and I haven't taken her to a dentist yet. Do I need to? And is it bad that I haven't done those things yet because I just got custody of her less than a week ago and I didn't know I needed to start potty training yet and I totally forgot about the dentist," Evie rambled as she began to fill with worry.

The doctor just smiled at the worried girl. "No it's fine there isn't a set time to start potty training, but I do feel that it's time you started. She seems pretty ready to start potty training. As for the dentist you should make an appointment as soon as possible as kids tend to start seeing a dentist by the time they are around her age. It helps give them

an opportunity to get to know the dentist and check for any tooth decay. It's also a good opportunity to help you learn about how to improve good oral hygiene for her. Any more questions or concerns that you have?" the doctor asked the teen as he tried to calm her nerves and make her feel better.

Evie just looked at the doctor as she remembered her concern about shots. "Um yeah I have a question. Does she need shots?" Evie asked the doctor as she looked at her sister already dreading the answer as soon as she saw the look on the doctor's face.

The doctor just looked at the teen sadly as he looked at the still scared toddler who was clinging to the teen. "Yes she is going to be needing some shots since she hasn't had any of her shots yet from her living on the Isle. I also think we should do a lead test just in case, especially with her living on the Isle for almost two years," the doctor told the teen.

"I will be right back. I just need to go get the vaccines and the blood test needle," the doctor told the teen as he left to get the supplies and the nurses to help him give the vaccines. As soon as the doctor left Evie sighed as she took a deep breathe just knowing this was about to be complete and utter torture for both of them. She placed the toddler back on the examination table as she looked at her in the eyes.

"Okay Mal look at me. I know that this is going to hurt. I know it's going to be torture sweetie, but it's going to help you in the long run. It's going to protect you from getting sick with these illnesses. I'm so sorry Mal. I know it's going to be painful, but you are a brave girl. I know you can handle this," Evie told the tiny toddler as she tried to comfort her even though Evie knew this was going to be really horrible and painful to watch.

A few minutes later the doctor returned with a few nurses and the vaccines. The doctor looked at Evie. "I'm going to need you to hold her down so that we can give her the vaccines," the doctor told the teen. Evie's eyes widened as she realized what she had to do. She didn't want to pin her sister down while the tiny girl cried and screamed from having needles inserted into her skin.

Evie just took a deep breath as she moved over to the toddler and laid her down. She then held down her sister's arms and tried so hard not to cry when the tiny toddler began to cry. They hadn't even inserted the needles in yet they were just cleaning off the areas where the shots would go. The nurse then pulled out some band aids and asked the toddler which ones her favorites were.

Mal just pointed to the purple band aid and the one that happened to have a dragon on it as she was getting more than one shot plus a blood test for lead. When they were done with that they began to insert the shots into the toddler. The small girl began to cry and sob from all the pain while Evie had to hold back tears and keep the toddler looking at her while she also pinned down the toddler's arms.

It was absolutly pure torture to watch her baby sister break down sobbing from all the pain. She just picked up the tiny girl and began to rock her back and forth to try and calm her. "Shhh Mal it's okay. I know that hurt baby girl. It's okay. It's all over no more. We can go back home now. I'm so sorry Mal. I'm so sorry sweetie. Come on let's go get you anything you want," Evie told her sobbing sister as she held her close to her chest and rocked her back and forth. She was feeling absolutely horrible right now for causing her baby sister so much pain.
