Eww Gross, Anatomy

 

It was the first Monday after school let out. Quinn walked into the kitchen in time to see Daria and Stan putting away the breakfast stuff. Still drowsy, she sat at the table.

 

揗orning Quinn.?Stan said. 揝o you抮e officially a senior now.?/p>

 

Yawning, Quinn looked at him. 揌uh??/p>

 

揥ell the school year is over. Last year you were a junior. Now you抮e a part of the senior class.?/p>

 

Quinn crossed her arms and thought about it. 揧ou抮e right. Cool.?/p>

 

Daria poured a cup of coffee and sat down. 揝o Quinn. Do you need Stan or me to drop you off??she asked.

 

Quinn looked at her mom. 揚(yáng)ardon??/p>

 

揇o you need Stan or me to drop you off??/p>

 

Confused, Quinn asked. 揥here??/p>

 

Taking a sip of coffee Daria turned and looked at her daughter. 揟rent抯 guitar shop.?/p>

 

揥hy??/p>

 

While Quinn was an early riser she usually wasn抰 completely awake for about an hour after getting up. As she looked at her, Daria thought this was worse then normal. She decided to remind her.

 

揧ou said you were going to be helping Trent this week while Lane toured with his band.?/p>

 

Quinn finally understood. Mom didn抰 know what happened.

 

揙h. Those plans fell through. Lane抯 biggest gig got cancelled so he let the smaller one go. He抯 going to be home this week so Trent doesn抰 need me.?/p>

 

揂h.?Daria said. 揝o what are your plans for your day??/p>

 

Quinn shrugged. 揑 don抰 know. Probably just hang around here.?/p>

 

Stan spoke up. 揑 know. Why don抰 you go to the hospital with me? It抯 going to be a slow day so you can see how things work there.?/p>

 

揑 don抰 know.?Quinn said. 揌ospitals aren抰 really my favorite place.?/p>

 

Smiling, Stan said, 揟hat抯 probably because the only time you抳e been to a hospital it抯 been as a patient. This time you would be an observer. It抯 a different experience.?/p>

 

Quinn shook her head. 揟hanks but I think I抣l just stay here.?/p>

 

Daria got up and went to the pot to pour another cup of coffee. 揟hat抯 fine Quinn. But if you stay here you抮e not going to loiter all day. You can vacuum the house and mop the bathrooms and kitchen.?/p>

 

Fifteen minutes later, Quinn was sitting in the passenger side of Stan抯 car riding to the hospital. As she looked out the window she wondered what she was going to do all day. Whatever it was at least it didn抰 involve housework.

 

When they got to the hospital Stan led her to the pediatric wing. As they passed the nurses station Stan introduced Quinn to the RN.

 

揃renda, this is Quinn, Daria抯 daughter.?/p>

 

Brenda smiled. 換uinn. It抯 nice to meet you. Stan has spoken of you often.?she said.

 

This was a surprise. Quinn raised her eyebrows in shock. 揌e has??/p>

 

Nodding, Brenda said, 揙f course. He says you抮e very smart, and he was right, you are even prettier than your picture.?/p>

 

Turning to look at Stan, Quinn asked, 揧ou have a picture of me here??/p>

 

Smiling, Stan looked at her. 揙f course. I have that picture of you and Daria I that took during your spring break.?/p>

 

Quinn remembered the photo. 揂h.?/p>

 

Stan turned back to Brenda.

 

揥e抮e going to my office for a little while. I抣l let you know before I start my rounds.?/p>

 

揤ery good.?Brenda said, and then turned her attention to Quinn. 揥hen he starts his rounds if you would like to come here I can show a little of what we do.?/p>

 

Quinn looked back at Stan. She thought she would be spending the entire day in his office. As he saw her confusion Stan spoke.

 

揟hat抯 a good idea. I can抰 take you on my rounds and Brenda knows more about this place than anyone.?/p>

 

Quinn shrugged. 揥ell okay. If you say so.?/p>

 

Stan put his hand on Quinn抯 shoulder. 揙kay. Lets leave her alone for now.?Looking at Brenda, he said. 揑抣l call you in a while.?/p>

 

Nodding, Brenda said. 揊ine. I抣l see you later Quinn.?/p>

 

When they got to Stan抯 office, Quinn looked around, 揟his is your office? It抯 not what I expected.?/p>

 

Stan sat down behind his desk. 揥hat exactly did you expect??he asked.

 

Quinn slumped down in the chair across from him.

 

揑 don抰 know. A skeleton in the corner, anatomy drawings on the wall, the kind of stuff I see on TV.?/p>

 

Stan smiled.

 

揝orry to disappoint you but this is it. Just a desk, a few chairs, my diplomas, and a bunch of paperwork.?/p>

 

Quinn shrugged.

 

揟hat抯 okay. It isn抰 your fault.?/p>

 

Stan raised an eyebrow.

 

揟hanks. I need to do a little paperwork. If you have any questions please ask. I抣l try to answer.?/p>

 

揙kay. Actually I do have a question.?Quinn said.

 

揧es??/p>

 

揥hy don抰 you wear scrubs??/p>

 

About a half hour later, Stan paged Beverly to come get Quinn. Leaving her with the nurse, Stan said he would return in about an hour. After he left, Beverly and Quinn returned to the station.

 

Sitting there, Quinn looked over at Beverly who was doing some paperwork. 揢m, pardon me??/p>

 

Looking up, Beverly asked, 揧es??/p>

 

揂ll I抳e seen anyone do today is fill out forms. I thought doctors and nurses cared for patients.?/p>

 

揥e do Quinn. Sadly we also have to fill out a lot of forms in the process. It seems that for every ten minutes we see a patient we have twenty minutes of documents to complete.?/p>

 

揑t sounds rough.?Quinn said.

 

揑t can be at times.?/p>

 

揟hen why do you put up with the hassles of all the paperwork??/p>

 

Beverly smiled at Quinn.

 

揊or the ten minutes we get to spend helping a patient. Now I promised to show you some things so give me a few minutes to complete this and we抣l get to it?/p>

 

Quinn nodded. 揙kay.?/p>

 

Beverly soon finished and started showing Quinn around. As they walked through the corridors, she explained what certain rooms were for and exactly what her job was. The more Quinn learned the more she liked Beverly. She was willing to listen to her questions and answered them in a way that Quinn understood without talking down to her. Eventually they returned to the station.

 

揟hat was really interesting. Thanks.?Quinn said.

 

Beverly swiveled in her chair. 揧ou抮e welcome.?/p>

 

When Stan walked by the station he saw the two women sitting behind the counter. Stopping, he looked at Quinn.

 

揝o has Beverly shown you around??/p>

 

揧es.?Quinn said. 揝he抯 been very informative. She showed me a lot of interesting things here.?/p>

 

Stan smiled.

 

揑t抯 like I said earlier. Nobody knows this place better than her.?/p>

 

Beverly was blushing. 揟hanks.?Turning to look at Quinn, she said. 揟hat抯 the problem with him. He抣l compliment you until you can抰 take it any more.?/p>

 

Laughing, Stan looked at Quinn. 揥ell Quinn, why don抰 you come with me now.?he said. 揑 have some things to do you might like seeing.?/p>

 

揙kay.?Quinn said, then got up and walked over to the end of the station. When she got to where Stan was, she looked back at Beverly.

 

揟hanks again for showing me around. I really did enjoy it.?/p>

 

Beverly stood up so she could see over the counter.

 

揗y pleasure Quinn. If you ever want to come back you would be more than welcome.?/p>

 

揅ool. Bye.?/p>

 

As the pair walked down the corridor, Quinn asked, 揝o where are these things you wanted me to see??/p>

 

They stopped at a door.

 

揟hey抮e right here.?

 

Stan turned the knob and they went inside. When Quinn saw the lab, she was amazed. There were all types of equipment on every counter. She just stood there wondering what all the machines did. Stan saw her astonishment and knew he had done the right thing.

 

換uinn??/p>

 

Not taking her eyes off the lab, Quinn said, 揧ea??/p>

 

揕et抯 go inside.?/p>

 

Quinn quickly looked up at him.

 

揧ou mean I can go in there??/p>

 

Stan looked at her and smiled. 揙f course. Follow me.?/p>

 

As they entered, she stayed close behind him. When they got in the room she heard a voice.

 

揝tan. Good to see you made it. I have those results you needed. They抮e in the bin on my desk.?/p>

 

Looking toward the voice, Quinn finally saw a woman sitting at a microscope. Hidden behind all the different apparatus on the counter, she was barely visible.

 

揟hanks.?Stan said and walked over to get the results pages from the tray. As he went over to where the woman was, he gestured for Quinn to join him. When she caught up him they were both standing next to the lady.

 

The woman didn抰 even notice them. She continued looking in the microscope. Clearing his throat, Stan got her attention.

 

揧es Stan??/p>

 

揜onni. I抎 like you to meet Quinn. She抯 Daria抯 daughter. Quinn this is Dr. Bert.?/p>

 

Dr. Bert turned her attention from her work to her two guests and smiled. 揙h yes. Stan has told me about you.?/p>

 

揌e seems to have told a lot of people about me.?Quinn said.

 

揇on抰 worry it was all good.?/p>

 

揟hat抯 a relief. So do you use all this stuff??/p>

 

Dr. Bert nodded and said. 揂t some time or another. It depends on the type of test I need to run.?/p>

 

Quinn scanned the room.

 

揥ell this all looks really cool. I抎 like to know what some of this stuff does.?Suddenly she put her hand on her mouth. 揑抦 sorry. I didn抰 mean to say that. You抮e obviously busy and don抰 need me poking around.?/p>

 

Smiling, Dr. Bert looked at Quinn.

 

揧ou didn抰 say anything wrong. Actually that抯 why Stan brought you here. He said you would probably like seeing what I do so I told him to bring you by and I would give you a small tour.?/p>

 

Quinn looked at Stan. He nodded back.

 

Looking back at Dr. Bert, she said, 揟hat would be great.?/p>

 

揙kay then.?Stan said. 揑抣l leave you here for a while. I need to review the results and talk to a patient. When I return we抣l get something to eat. Okay.?/p>

 

Completely distracted by the thought of learning about the lab, Quinn barely heard him. As soon as she realized he was talking to her, she said, 揙kay. Lunch, later. Enjoy.?/p>

 

Chuckling, Stan turned to leave. 揃ye Quinn.?/p>

 

About two hours later, Stan opened the door to the lab. What he saw blew him away. Quinn and Ronni were sitting at her desk talking and laughing. He wondered which one was having the better time. Deciding that Quinn had been enough of a distraction, he interrupted.

 

揌ey you two. I hate to do this but I need to break you up.?/p>

 

Both turned to look at him. Quinn smiled. 揙h hi Stan. Ronni was just telling me a few stories about some of the funnier moments in the lab.?/p>

 

揂h. Well I said I抎 be back to take you to lunch. It抯 pretty late but if you want, we can still get something at the cafeteria.?/p>

 

Quinn nodded. 揑 am hungry. That would be nice.?/p>

 

揙kay. Well let抯 go. I抦 sure Dr. Bert needs to get back to her job too.?/p>

 

Getting up, Quinn shook Dr. Bert抯 hand.

揟hanks for showing me around. I really liked it and meeting you.

揑 enjoyed it too.?Dr. Bert said. 揑f you ever want to come back, I would be happy to show you more.?/p>

 

Quinn walked over to Stan. Looking at him, she said. 揙kay. Let抯 go.?/p>

 

As they left the lab, Quinn turned around and said, 揟hanks again. Bye Ronnie.?/p>

 

揃ye Ronnie??Stan thought. 揟hey sure became fast friends.?/p>

 

The rest of the day Stan introduced Quinn around to other members of the staff. While she had never been to keen on hospitals the more she learned the more interested she became in knowing more about how the place worked. When Stan said it was time to go home she wasn抰 ready to leave.

 

That evening all three were sitting around the dinner table. Early in the meal the conversation turned to what everyone had done during the day. When Daria asked Quinn about her day, that was it. Nobody else managed to get a word in for the remainder of the meal. As Quinn recounted what she had experienced Daria was pleased that she had done something more productive than merely sit around to the house all day.

 

That night, Daria and Stan were getting ready to go to sleep. As they lay in the bed watching television, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

 

揅ome in.?Daria said.

 

Quinn opened the door and looked in.

 

揑 just wanted to say goodnight and thank Stan for letting me go to the hospital with him.?/p>

 

Stan smiled. 揑t was my pleasure. I抦 glad you enjoyed yourself today.?/p>

 

揑 did. In fact I抎 like to go with you again sometime. If that would be okay.?/p>

 

揙f course. Next time I抣l arrange something special for you.?/p>

 

Quinn seemed pleased at the idea. 揟hat would be great.?she said. 揥ell I抣l leave you two alone now. Goodnight Mom, goodnight Stan.?/p>

 

In unison, both said. 揋oodnight.?/p>

 

After Quinn shut the door, Daria rolled over to look at her husband.

 

揥ell you certainly made an impression on her. She抯 never been excited at the thought of going to a hospital.?/p>

 

Looking at Daria, Stan said. 揑t抯 the thrill of learning about what a hospital actually does I guess. I抦 just glad she enjoyed herself. I hope I can make her next visit as pleasant.?nbsp; 

 

Daria gave him a quick smile. 揑抦 sure you will. Are you going to sleep now??/p>

 

Stan shook his head.

 

揘o I think I抣l watch a little news before turning in.?/p>

 

揙kay.?Daria said, leaned over and gave him a quick kiss. 揥ell goodnight.?

 

揋oodnight.?/p>

 

Rolling over, Daria took off her glasses, reached up and switched off her lamp.

 

Quinn pestered Stan for several days about when she could return to the hospital. Finally, Stan managed to arrange something special for her. That morning as they rode in she looked over at him.

 

揝o what抯 the surprise??/p>

 

揝orry but you抣l have to wait until we get there. But it did take some work to let you do this.?/p>

 

Now Quinn was really curious. If he wasn抰 telling her it must be something unique. She decided to just wait until they got to the hospital.

 

揙kay. If you say so.?/p>

 

When they got there, Stan led her down a series of corridors. Soon they were outside a set of double doors. Stopping, he turned to Quinn.

 

揥ell this is it. Let抯 go.?/p>

 

Walking through the doors, the pair entered the emergency room. Quinn抯 eyes grew in size as she looked around. 揥ow.?was all she could say.

 

Stan smiled.

 

揑抦 glad you抮e pleased. After all it is an anniversary.?/p>

 

Quinn looked up at him. 揥hat do you mean??/p>

 

揑t抯 one year to the day that Daria brought you in here with appendicitis. That was the first time I saw both of you. I figured this was a good way to mark the occasion.?/p>

 

This was something Quinn didn抰 expect to hear. As she looked up at him, she asked, 揧ou remember that??/p>

 

Smiling at her he said, 揑t抯 an special day for me. That was when I met two people very important to me.?/p>

 

揝orry, but it抯 just a surprise. I didn抰 think guys thought about stuff like that.?/p>

 

揥ell we抮e full of surprises Quinn.?Stan said. 揂s you get older you抣l discover that for yourself. Now let抯 introduce you around.?/p>

 

Walking through the emergency room, Stan introduced Quinn to the staff. After the introductions, Stan told Quinn to observe and ask questions but if things got too busy to stay out of the way and let everyone do their jobs. Quinn agreed, Stan said he would be down later to meet her for lunch and left her there.

 

As usual, things got a little busy and Stan wasn抰 able to get downstairs until well after lunchtime. When he finally showed up Quinn was nowhere to be seen. After a few minutes, he finally found her in the same exam room where he diagnosed her appendicitis.

 

Walking into the room, Stan looked around. When Quinn saw him, she smiled. 揌ey.?she said.

 

揌ey. Reminiscing??/p>

 

Shaking her head, Quinn said, 揘ot really. I was just looking around. Don抰 worry, I didn抰 mess with anything.?/p>

 

He smiled. 揑 believe you. So how have you liked your visit so far??/p>

 

Quinn suddenly lit up.

 

揑t抯 been great. This place is amazing. One minute things are calm and a second later everyone bursts into action. It抯 exciting.?/p>

 

揋lad to hear that. Sorry I抦 late but do you still want to get lunch anyway??/p>

 

Looking at the clock, Quinn suddenly realized it was well past noon. She had become so involved in everything she hadn抰 realized it was so late. Looking at Stan, she said, 揧ea. I guess I am a little hungry.?/p>

 

揤ery well. Let抯 go.?

 

As they left the room he looked at her. 揑 tell you what. It was probably a full day already. Why don抰 you just come back to my office instead of back here? Things are slow enough upstairs today that I can show you around a little more.?/p>

 

She didn抰 want to leave just yet but decided it would probably be better. She had managed to stay out of the way but still felt she was a small bother to everyone.

 

揙kay. Just let me thank a few people before we go.?/p>

 

Just like after her last visit, Quinn couldn抰 stop talking about all she saw. While Daria was pleased she had a good time she had to remind her they were eating and not to be so descriptive. As they continued discussing the day, Quinn dropped several not so subtle hints to Stan she would like the visits to become more regular. After a while, Stan finally had enough of her rather blatant requests and offered to see if he could arrange more visits.

 

True to his word, he managed to get Quinn there about twice a week during the summer. With every visit she became more familiar with the hospital and the staff. Before too long it became such a routine that people were worried on the rare times when Quinn didn抰 show up.

 

One afternoon, Quinn was sitting in Stan抯 office when she heard a familiar voice. 揥ell Miss Morgendorffer. It抯 nice to see you here.?/p>

 

Turning around in the chair, she saw Dr. Willis standing in the doorway.

 

揇r. Willis??/p>

 

揌ey Quinn. It抯 been a long time. Nice to know you remember me.?/p>

 

Shrugging, Quinn said, 揥ell it抯 difficult to forget the person who took out your appendix.?/p>

 

Laughing, Dr. Willis smiled. 揧ou抳e got a point there.?/p>

 

Quinn smiled at him. 揝o what do we owe to your visit today??/p>

 

揑抦 here at Stan抯 request.?/p>

 

揜eally??Quinn asked, then turned to look at Stan. Stan nodded. Turning her attention back to Dr. Willis she asked. 揗ay I ask why??/p>

 

Dr. Willis liked the fact Quinn was being so proper.

 

揌e said you抳e really developed a strong interest in everything here.?/p>

 

Quinn nodded.

 

揥ell since you have become so interested, I was wondering if you would like to observe an operation tomorrow.?/p>

 

This came as a shock to Quinn. She definitely didn抰 expect to hear that. With all of her visits, the one place she stayed clear of was surgery. She figured they didn抰 need a seventeen-year-old girl hanging around. Now she had a chance to see a real operation. While she was excited at the thought, she wasn抰 completely sure she was ready for this experience.

 

揥hat kind of operation??/p>

 

揘othing unusual. We抮e doing a routine gall bladder procedure. It should be interesting for you though.?Seeing she was nervous at the idea he added, 揃ut if you don抰 feel ready厰

 

Quinn quickly realized this was the moment of decision. Nodding, she said, 揙kay. I抣l see you in the morning. As long as you are sure I won抰 be in the way.?/p>

 

揇on抰 worry Quinn. It will be fine. I抣l see you around eight tomorrow. Okay??/p>

 

揙kay.?/p>

 

The next morning, Quinn was up bright and early. The more she thought about what she was going to see, the more excited she got. As she rode with Stan to the hospital she grew more and more anxious.

 

When she finally got to the surgical wing, she met Dr. Willis at the nurse抯 station. Seeing her, he smiled. 揌ey Quinn. Are you ready.?/p>

 

Smiling back, she said, 揜eady as I抣l ever be.?/p>

 

Closing the chart he had in his hands, he looked at her. 揊ine.?Gesturing across the counter, he said, 揟his is Nurse Jones. Follow her. She抣l get you dressed and ready.?/p>

 

Quinn didn抰 understand. 揇ressed and ready??/p>

 

Dr. Willis nodded. 揧es. If you抮e going into the room with us you need to be dressed in something other than that.?

 

She couldn抰 believe what she had heard. 揧ou mean I抦 going to be in the operating room with you??/p>

 

揙f course. What did you think??/p>

 

Quinn shrugged. 揑 figured I抎 watch behind a window or something like that.?/p>

 

Dr. Willis chuckled and said, 揘ot here. If you see this it抯 in person. Now just follow Nurse Jones and she抣l get you ready and explain a few rules you will need to follow while in there. Okay.?/p>

 

Nodding, Quinn said, 揙kay.?and followed the nurse down the hall. 

 

The operation was amazing. Quinn抯 nervousness was quickly gone after the procedure started and she began to see what was happening. Because it wasn抰 a normal thing to have a juvenile in the room with the surgeon, she was required to stay a specific distance from the table but from the angle she was at still managed to see a good bit. When the procedure was done she returned to Stan抯 office.

 

Looking up, Stan saw Quinn standing in the doorway. She was still wearing scrubs and had her regular clothes under her arm. Leaning back in his chair, he couldn抰 resist making the comment. 揥ell, if it isn抰 Dr. Quinn, Teen Girl Surgeon.?/p>

 

Closing her eyes, Quinn gritted her teeth at the lame joke. 揤ery funny.?she said.

 

揝orry.?Stan said. 揥ell come in and sit down.?/p>

 

Walking into his office, she slumped into the chair. After she was comfortable Stan looked at her. 揝o did you like seeing the operation??/p>

 

Quinn抯 face lit up. 揙h yea. It was so cool.?For the next couple of minutes she told Stan all about what she got to see. He had seen the procedure several times but patiently listened as she described the operation. He was quietly pleased at how excited she was about learning everything. When she was done he leaned back in his chair.

 

揑t sounds like you had a good time this morning.?/p>

 

揑 did.?/p>

 

揑 just have one question.?

 

揧es??/p>

 

揥hy are you still wearing scrubs??/p>

 

Quinn rolled her eyes and explained that Dr. Willis gave her the scrubs to remember her experience and she wanted to wear them the rest of the day. While it was unusual, Stan figured there was no harm as long as she stayed out of sight of the patients so she wouldn抰 be mistaken for a staff member. Deciding the safest place for her was in the lab, he got on the intercom and paged Dr. Bert. Ronnie was more than happy to have Quinn join her for the day and in short notice Quinn was on her way there.

 

Later that day as they rode home, Stan spoke up. 揢h Quinn. I know you抮e excited about what you saw but I think it would be a good idea not to share as much information about the operation as you did with me with Daria. You know how she feels about shop talk.?/p>

 

She knew he was right. While Daria had put up with a lot of her hospital stories she probably wouldn抰 be to pleased to hear all the details of today抯 adventure. 揧ou抮e right.?she said. 揑抣l be careful.?/p>

 

揟hanks. It抣l make things easier on all of us.?

 

That Saturday, Quinn said she had something to do so Stan went to the hospital alone. Around mid-morning Daria went into the kitchen to see Quinn sitting at the table with papers all over the surface. Daria knew what Quinn was doing and sat down to see if she needed any help.

 

揝o how are the college applications going??/p>

 

Quinn looked up from her writing.

 

揙kay. It抯 just tough. Now that I抳e finally decided what I want to major in it抯 difficult deciding which universities I should apply to.?/p>

 

This caught Daria completely by surprise. For all her junior year Quinn fretted over what she should major in. After months of thought she decided to go with liberal arts to give her time to decide what interested her most. Now it seemed she had changed her mind again.

 

揜eally??Daria said. 揟hat抯 interesting. What do you want to major in? If I may ask.?/p>

 

揝ure. I抳e decided on pre-med. I want to try to be a doctor.?/p>

 

Daria was afraid of that. Quinn was a smart girl but it would be a tough road becoming a doctor. She wasn抰 completely convinced Quinn would have the commitment to follow the course. After a few seconds, she decided to discuss it with Quinn a little.

 

揟hat抯 great Quinn. I just want to know. Are you completely certain of this? It抯 not easy becoming a doctor.?/p>

 

Quinn smiled. She knew her mom was going to be a tough sell on this so she had her argument ready.

 

揂t this time I want to try. I抳e talked to the doctors at the hospital and seen a lot of what they have to do. I know it won抰 be easy. I don抰 know everything involved but it抯 something I feel I can do. Plus the first few years of college will be fairly general. Should I change my mind it will be easy to switch majors.?/p>

 

Daria was impressed. Quinn抯 argument was good. Figuring she had to decide her own path, Daria stood up, walked over and gave Quinn a hug. 揧ou抮e right Quinn. I know you can do anything you set your mind to. If you feel this is what you want to do I know you抣l succeed.?/p>

 

Quinn looked at Daria and smiled again. 揟hanks Mom. Now I need to get back to these applications. I might already be too late with them.?nbsp;   

 

Later that evening, Daria walked down the hall to her room. As she passed Quinn抯 room she noticed the door was open. This was very unusual. The only time the door was open was when Quinn was gone or wanted Daria to see her. Since she knew Quinn was home she stuck her head in the door.

 

換uinn??/p>

 

Spinning around in her desk chair Quinn looked at her mom. 揙h hi. I was about ready to call you.?/p>

 

揥hat is it??/p>

 

揑抦 getting ready to transmit my applications to the universities. I抦 nervous and wanted you to be here. I need moral support.?/p>

 

Walking into the room, Daria went over and put her hand on Quinn抯 shoulder.

 

揙kay. I抦 here. Ready when you are.?/p>

 

Quinn gave her mom a nervous look. Turning her head back to the screen, she grabbed the mouse and moved it to the transmit button on the screen. When she had the arrow in place she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and clicked the button.  A second later, she opened her eyes when she heard the ping indicating her applications had been sent.

 

Taking a deep breath, she looked up at Daria again.

 

揥ell it抯 done. Now I wait.?Reaching up she took Daria抯 hand off her shoulder and held it. 揑 hope I did the right thing.?/p>

 

Daria took her other hand and wrapped her arms around Quinn.

 

揑 know you did Quinn. I抦 sure everything will be fine.?/p>

 

As she sat there with Daria抯 arms around her, this was the most certain and calm Quinn had felt in days. She knew her mom would be there whenever she needed support and this was one of those times.

 

揟hanks Mom.?she said. 揑 love you.?/p>

 

Daria leaned over and kissed Quinn on the cheek.

 

揑 love you too Quinn.?/p>

 

The summer was quickly coming to a close. Quinn managed a few more visits to the hospital with Stan but after school began she started becoming involved in activities related to her new status as a senior. She still managed at least one visit to the hospital each week but they were usually after school or on the alternating Saturday when Stan went in. In spite of her reduced presence there, she was becoming more convinced that she had finally chosen the right career for herself.

 

One evening, a few weeks before spring break, Daria got home from work. As she opened the door she immediately had a pair of arms wrapped tightly around her. As she hugged back she heard Quinn crying. Immediately she became concerned.

 

換uinn? Is everything okay??/p>

 

Letting go, Quinn stepped back to look at her mom. Wiping her eyes, she said, 揑 got home and there was a letter from the university.?/p>

 

揙h no. She didn抰 get accepted.?Daria thought. Walking with Quinn into the living room she asked. 揥hat did it say??/p>

 

They both sat down on the couch. Quinn was still worked up so she just handed Daria the envelope. Daria slowly removed the letter and read in a low voice. 揇ear Ms. Morgendorffer, It is our great pleasure to厰 after a few more words Daria dropped the letter and hugged Quinn again. 揧ou got in. Congratulations. I抦 so proud of you.?/p>

 

Quinn closed her eyes and hugged Daria back. 揟hanks Mom.?/p>

 

Sitting back, Daria looked at Quinn. 揟his is a time to celebrate. You call Grandma and Grandpa and I抣l call Stan. We抮e going to go out to dinner. Since you抮e the guest of honor, you choose the place.?/p>

 

An hour later, all five were sitting around a table at a seafood place Quinn really liked.

 

After the waiter took their orders and left they started talking to pass the time. Helen reached over and hugged her granddaughter.

 

揝weetheart. I抦 so proud of you.

 

Jake joined in. 揧ea Kiddo. We抮e both proud of you.?/p>

 

Quinn smiled at both of them. 揟hanks.?/p>

 

Stan spoke up. 換uinn. I抦 very happy for you too. Now I have another surprise for you.?/p>

 

Looking at Stan, she wondered what he had for her. 揧es??/p>

 

揥ell Quinn. When I learned you were planning on majoring in pre-med I started talking to the administrator. He has been very impressed with your interest in the hospital and wants you to come in sometime soon. He wants to talk to you about a part time job this summer.?/p>

 

Quinn perked up even more than she already was. 揜eally? Doing what??/p>

 

Stan gave her a quick smile. 揑 don抰 know, but it will be a good foot in the door to your new career.?/p>

 

揥hen can I talk to him??/p>

 

揑抣l make an appointment for after school next week. Okay??/p>

 

Quinn nodded.

 

揟hat would be great. Thanks.?/p>

 

That evening, Daria and Stan were getting ready to call it a night. As they sat there in bed watching the news, Quinn stuck her head in the doorway.

 

揗om, Stan. I just wanted to say goodnight and thank you for dinner.?/p>

 

Daria lowered the volume on the TV. 揧ou抮e welcome Quinn. You earned it. We抮e really proud of you.?/p>

 

揟hanks. Well goodnight Mom. Goodnight Stan.

 

Daria said, 揋oodnight.?/p>

 

Stan smiled. 揋oodnight. Dr. Morgendorffer.?/p>

 

Quinn laughed. 揋oodnight.?/p>
