Miguel was trying to play it cool for Temperance's sake. But in reality, his stomach was a jiggling ball of nervousness and anxiety. How was it that when he finally found someone to be with, something had to happen that screwed everything up? Keeping an arm around Temperance's waist, he entered the Infirmary Tent. Lucky for him, Tulio was the only one inside. His friend glanced up as he entered.
"Hey Miguel. Hi Temperance," he said cheerfully. "What's up?"
"Well, it's kinda...it's sorta...weird." Miguel didn't really know how to put it.
Tulio's eyes widened. "Oh God Miguel, don't tell me you got Temperance pregnant."
"What? No, no! Ugh, why did you jump to that conclusion?" Miguel rolled his eyes. "No, it's not that. It's..." He paused for a moment, glancing at Temperance. "How about you explain it?" he asked her.

Temperance could feel that Miguel was trying to play it cool. She was nervous too. She look at Tulio as they walk into the infirmary tent. She give him a small wave. Temperance open her eyes wide at the pregnant comment "NO, I'm not pregnant" yelled Temperance as she look at Miguel. Tulio must jump to that conclusion a lot. Temperance toke a breath "Well we talking about the past and when I started. I kind of zoned out. Couldn't hear anything outside like Miguel's voice, only what my herd said when I first change" said Temperance as she lean closer to him.

Tulio was quiet for a minute as he listened. Temperance's problem sounded like something he had heard before. "Well, Temperance, sounds to me like you just had a flashback that took you out of it for a minute. It's nothing to get too upset about."
Miguel blinked. "That's it?"
"Think about it, Miguel," Tulio said. "If what Temperance says is true, then exclusion from her herd or whatever must have been very traumatizing. And traumatizing memories can stay with us for a long time. And when the memories come flooding back, sometimes, they just freeze a person into place." He ran a hand through his hair. "The same thing happens with all sorts of people who experience traumatic events. Look at soldiers, for example. Anything can trigger a traumatic event and make them think they're back on the battlefield. I've heard of Vietnam War veterans who freak out when they hear fireworks, thinking that they're gunshots or bombs." He glanced at Temperance. "Talking about the past must have triggered those memories for Temperance, and made her freeze."

"Well shouldn't that happen a long time ago" asked Temperance as it doesn't sound like something she would do. "There had to be something more" said Temperance as she wasn't the kind of person to freeze in place and couldn't here a thing. Temperance look at Tulio "There something else that is wrong with me other then an traumatic flashback" said Temperance. She knew that Tulio explanation couldn't be it.

Temperance didn't seem very satisfied with the explanation. She insisted there had to be something more. And Tulio was willing to oblige that. Sometimes, a patient's gut feeling could point a doctor in the right direction. "Well, I guess I can do a quick little examination, just to rule out anything physical-wise. As of right now, this looks like it's something mental, but it never hurts to make sure."
Miguel was quiet for a moment as Tulio's hands started glowing. If it wasn't just past trauma that was the problem, what else could it be? He hoped Tulio could figure it out, 'cause Miguel had no idea what was going on.
"Okay, if my powers detect anything, you might feel a slight stinging sensation," Tulio said to Temperance. "So if you feel that, let me know." He let out a slow breath before slowly moving his glowing palms along her body, starting with her head, then moving to her neck, shoulders, and arms.

Temperance nodding her head as she was glad that Tulio was going to do more. She move in the middle of the room, she hope that it was something else that could be fix in no time flat. She didn't have anytime to waist with her new love life and her job. "Okay" said Temperance as she watch his hands started to glow and move from her head down. Temperance didn't feel anything let but she still had some hope let inside of her.

It seemed like nothing was wrong with Temperance so far. Or maybe her pain was somewhere else. Tulio's hands headed downward, not keeping them on her chest any longer than he had to. He didn't want Temperance to think he was feeling her up or something. His hands glided across her stomach, hips, then down her legs and feet.

Temperance still watch him as his hands move down. When Tulio made it down to her stomach she could feel some pain and it hurt a little but that was the only place that it hurt. She turn and look at Miguel and then back to Tulio "that dose hurt a little" said Temperance.

So there was something going on with Temperance's stomach. Tulio's brow furrowed. "Well, if something's going on with her stomach, it may be a lot of things," he said to Miguel. He turned back to Temperance before asking "Have you felt any pain there recently? Like, were you feeling it before you came in here?"

Temperance look down and turn her head as she look at Miguel. She thought back to when she first came here and it was some time ago "Some but not like this" said Temperance as she look at Tulio "Could you try and take it out" asked Temperance. She hope that it could be remove.

"You mean, like surgery?" That was kind of a drastic action. At least, in Tulio's opinion. Plus, that wasn't really an area he and Aidan covered. "Um, it probably isn't wise to do that until we figure out exactly what's going on. You should probably get an x-ray first." He ran a hand through his hair again. "We do have a machine that can do that. But...I have no idea how to use it. You should probably talk to Korbinian. He's a fairy, but he knows all the technological stuff of medicine, like x-rays and surgery and all that stuff. I...can't really help with that sort of thing."
"Is this Korbinian guy any good?" Miguel asked. He hadn't met him before.
"He's good from what I hear," Tulio replied. "I don't really talk with him much, since he does stuff that's so different from me. But I assume he's good. He has to be in order for Facilier to have him as a doctor."
"Good point," Miguel acknowledged.

Temperance raised a eyebrow at Tulio. Temperance wish that someday she was still a horse. " Alright Tulio, I trust you" said Temperance with some annoying in her voice. She would have to meet this Korbinian and talk to him. Temperance walk over to Miguel as she place a kiss on his check "Tulio why did you think I was pregnant" asked Temperance with a smirk on her face.

"Hey, don't blame me. Miguel was the one who walked in with that weird look on his face and started being all vague about what was up with you," Tulio replied.
"Well, you're the one that jumped to conclusions," Miguel countered with a laugh. He put his arm around Temperance's waist as he said "Don't worry. I don't think we're going to have kids until sometime later."
"Wait, you're actually considering it?" Tulio asked, raising an eyebrow. Miguel had never really wanted to be a father before.
"Well, that's kind of what you do with a woman you want to spend with the rest of your life with," Miguel replied.
Tulio blinked, and he finally put two and two together about what Miguel meant. He laughed. "I told you you would find a girl that'd you want to stay with forever. I told you!"
"Yeah, yeah, I get the picture," Miguel said. "Took me a lot longer than you, but I found her." He smiled at Temperance.

Temperance look at Tulio "Well he didn't know what to say" said Temperance. She was pulled a little closer to Miguel as he place his arm around her waist. "Yes kids can come later and plus they will have a great father" she said. Temperance look up at Miguel " So what if he took longer then you did Tulio. He love me and only me" said Temperance as she smile back at him.

"I'm sure he will," Tulio said. "He's already got a few of the clown kids hanging on his every word. They seem as like an idol."
"Well, not all of them. Maybe one or two," Miguel said, remembering how enthusiastic Sayaka was to learn from him. Was that an indicator that he would be a good father? He wasn't sure.
