No more first names

Dr. Alice Leck ' s jaw dropped when she saw Tyler standing beside Bianca, this made Bianca blush.
"Alice, this is Tyler." Bianca sat perched on the edge of the exam table wearing a paper gown opening in the front just the way the nurse had instructed her Tyler stood handsome and confident next to her and shot his hand forward to shake Dr. Lecks , who readily received it.
"Nice to meet you Tyler, I must say I am a bit surprised to see you here!" Alice cut her eyes to Bianca who was still blushing and beaming at her handsome Beau. "Well Dr. Leck, i would be lying if I said I wasn't surprised I were here too." Tyler said with all of the confident charm that always flowed so naturally from him. Alice turned to Bianca "I was dissapointed to have not heard from you for our little ice cream social, but clearly you have been a busy girl!  What's this I hear of a concussion and some stiches?!" The doctor shot Tyler a disingeniune grin. Bianca shifted on the table uncomfortably "yeah, that's embarrassing," Bianca started, "freak accident for lack of a better explanation, i was bending down in front of the door and Tyler here flung it open at just the right time and I guess it hit in just the right place!" Bianca and Tyler giggled a bit and exchanged a knowing glance. Alice was not smiling  but was serious and spoke directly to Tyler "Well Tyler, I hope you will be more careful in the future, knocking your pregnant girlfriend out is rarely smiled upon."  With out missing a beat Alice turned to Bianca "okay Bianca, are we allowing Mr. Tyler here to stay during your exam, or would you prefer he step out?" Before Bianca could answer an offended Tyler interupted, "Pardon me Dr. Leck, but I think you may be misunderstanding my intentions here. Bianca is my fiancé, and I would never intentionally hurt her. I am the baby's father and, no disrespect intended, i feel your hostility is unwarranted. And it's Holt, Mr. Holt, but please call me Tyler, Bianca has informed me that we are all on a first name basis here, and even though I feel given the gravity of Bianca's predicament, a certain amount of professionalism is warranted, but I certainly won't make any snap judgments because that would just be ignorant on my part." Bianca turned bright red, it wasn't that she didn't feel Tyler had the right to feel offended, it was just that Alice had been the one person prior to Tylers return that Bianca felt tried to care for her and she had recieved her remarks in that intent.  Alice was undaunted by Tylers astuteness "of course Mr. Holt, my apologies.  We are all on the same page now and we all want a healthy baby and mommy, in my professional opinion your support could prove very, very beneficial.  Let's just start over. Hello Tyler, nice to meet you, I'm Dr. Alice Leck." She reached a hand out to Tyler that he shook with his other hand placed around it, in true shrewd business man manner, he was a Holt indeed. "Nice to meet you ma'am, and just let me tell you how highly Bianca thinks of you, thank you for taking such good care of us."

The bizarre exchange was almost like a power struggle, Bianca just wanted to pull a sheet over her head and dissapear she felt oddly flattered but far more embarrassed, it was if she was watching an old boyfriend and new one getting ready to duke it out.  She found herself questioning why Alice was so impartial to Tyler, and so invested in herself after just one appointment but she quickly dismissed hee concerns in the name of optimism, ever since her Shiney new Bianca revelation the night that Tyler came to her in Austin she had really been striving to be more open to positivity.

Tyler was completely cool. Relaxed, natural and charming. He had been in Austin with Bianca for three weeks and in that time had already landed a job with the state prosecutor who was willing to take him on even before he passed the Texas bar exam that wouldn't be administered until the end of July in about a month. Tyler was extrodinary there was no doubt about it. He and Bianca had Fallin right back into the stride of their relationship only it was so much better without the oxford and Holt family stigma lingering in the shadows of their every move. Aside from the lack of sexual intimacy, Bianca thought their relationship perfect. Barbara had not stopped trying to contact Tyler, but he would give her nothing. Not a word. And as far as Bianca knew Barbara had no idea where they were actually located. He had fled oxford In the exact same manner as Bianca, no good byes no tying up of loose ends just perfect reckless abandonment of his old life. He had done his best to not burn any bridges with his old firm, but they were certainly unimpressed with the flighty Tyler Holt, they had severed his contract and not inflicted any penalties for his very early termination, no doubt a direct result of the Holt name and his father's intervention in the proceedings. Bufford had spoken only once with Tyler that Bianca was aware of, she hadn't personally witnessed the exange, but Tyler had told her that Bufford claimed to have had no idea of the hush money issued to Bianca and had told Tyler he would handle the situation and Barbara Holt himself. Tyler said he had his father's blessing to move forward with his life however he felt driven too and that the money and the agreement Bianca signed would not be a problem. Bianca couldn't believe how simply it had all seemed to resolve. She felt as if the heavens had shone her great favor, and she in no way felt entitled to it. But in the name of her positive revelation she accepted this good favor with a grateful and humble spirit so she and Tyler could move forward untainted by their past. 

Tyler had forced Bianca to come clean to Shane, "no more secrets" he had said, "if we are going to make it all of our cards need to be showing all the time, and if we are going to fix all of our disfunction and try to live peacefully it's important that your father be aware of your health and be ready to welcome his grandson."

Shane wasn't too surprised with the news, Bianca thought he may have even found some peace in it. Shane had not ever understood Bianca's irrational behavior and was afraid she had simply fallen off of the deep end.  Shane and June and the planned to come to Austin just before Bianca was set to deliver, to stay and help and provide much needed support for a few weeks while surgeries and treatments commenced. Finally all felt right in Bianca's world again.

"Okay then!," Dr. Leck chirped "let's have a look Ms. Shelk, I think it's safe to assume  Mr. Holt will be staying for the duration of today's visit." All three of them shared an awkward chuckle, the observation nurse standing quietly in the corner broke her silence and let out a sigh as she rolled her eyes. No more first names, Bianca thought to herself. Interesting.
