The Pen: Chapter one

Chapter 1:

…………………….The Pen……………………………..

Wyatt arrived at the family physcians office feeling refreshed from a great weekend with his wife and daughter starting the process of college hunting at local schools for his daughter. He had just turned fifty, a sucessful doctor with a beautiful wife who was now forty three named Emily. Their daughter, robyn, now 19, who just graduated high school, was on the tract to follow in his footsteps as a doctor as well was taking her time researching colleges and working at her dads practice to start gaining hands on experience for the summer.

“Good morning dad” robyn greeted her dad with a huge grin. She said as she typed at the computer.

“Same to you robyn, so, busy day on tap?” He asked as he looked at the chart she set on the station raised desktop above the reception area.

“About usual it seems and Mrs. Green is in exam room 1. Rachel is already in with her getting her info logged into the chart system. ” robyn cheerfully explained. Wyatt smiled “thanks honey” and headed to his office to put on his exam coat and grab his stethoscope and note pad he carried with him.

In his office he saw a box on his desk. It was small, about the shape and size of a necklace box. It had a small card that read “to dad. Your the most amazing father and such an inspiration. I found this gift at my favorite gem store and thought of you. Love Robyn.

Wyatt smiled feeling so full of love. He opened the box and inside was a pen. The entire length was of the most intriguing colors. It was made of polished gem stones. Light blue, greens browns, reds and yellows. He picked it up and it was so cool to his touch as the stone seemed to soothe his palm. It was so perfectly balanced and robust that it seemed to have been custom made for his hand.

He put on his white exam coat and stethoscope and stood in front of the mirror as he made sure he looked presentable. He stood at 5ft 10, was still physically fit and had the deepest hazel eyes. He slid his new pen in his upper left breast pocket, grabbed his clipboard with exam sheet and headed to the first exam of the day.

Wyatt entered the exam room and Mrs. Green was seaton on the edge of the exam table wearing an exam robe. She was in her early forties, shoulder length brown hair, blue eyes and an average build. She sat with her hands together fingers interlaced on her lap as Rachel typed into the computer.

“Hello Mrs. Green what brings you in today?” Wyatt greeted leaning against the counter that had the sink and all necessary examination tools.

“Good morning doctor. My right knee seems to be swollen. There is no pain, and i cant remember injuring it.” She explained.

Rachel finished typing and turned to face the doctor and Mrs. Green. “Good morning doctor. I’ve entered all her stats and finished the questionaire.” She stated in her normal friendly way. Rachel was in her mid thirties and a cute petite woman standing at 5ft 1. She had deep blue eyes, bright red hair she wore just past her shoulders and a smile that was ear to ear. In her blue nurses scrubs her body shown years of taken care for it and has always made wyatt wonder what she looked like under that concealing uniform.

“Thank you rachel, let me have a look at this knee” wyatt said as he stood and moved in front of Mrs. Green and raised her exam gown enough to expose her right knee.
