Before they left, their family doctor, Dr. Smith, had recommended that both of them come in for a check-up, just to make sure they were healthy enough for the trip. Brianna's mom, being the cautious one, insisted they get the check-up done.
After what felt like an eternity, Dr. Smith came in with the results. "Both of you are in great health," she announced with a smile. "Your blood work is excellent, and your vitals are all within normal range."
Dr. Smith nodded. "Absolutely. Just remember to stay hydrated, wear your sunscreen, and take breaks in the shade. You don't want to overdo it, especially if you're not used to being out in the sun for long periods."
Brianna blushed at the compliment. "You deserve it, Mom. You're the best."
As they watched the stars begin to twinkle over the ocean, Brianna knew this was a vacation she, and her mom, would never forget.
Her mom smiled, her eyes filled with happiness. "I couldn't have asked for a better daughter to share this with. You always make sure I come first, and I'm grateful for that."
The day of the check-up arrived, and they headed to the doctor's office. The waiting room was filled with magazines and the sound of gentle chatter. When they were called in, Dr. Smith greeted them warmly and began the examination.
