The drive was another welcome distraction. Unfortunately it didn't last very long.
It was only on the short way from the parking lot to the door that this heavy emptiness in Clint's stomach suddenly turned into a sharp pain. This was it, from here on they couldn't run anymore. They would get their judgment, unbiased, professional and thorough, and then they would have to confirm their decision from yesterday and... He wasn't ready to think about that just yet.
Once it was their turn in the row, it went quickly, he just had to tell the woman the doctor's name and she seemed to know. Natasha and him were sent to the woman's hospital track with some kind of formal paper, and once there they were straight advised to a examination room. The nurse let them know that the doctor would be with them shortly, which was at least better than sitting out there with all these other people, more than one pregnant woman among them. But it also meant, they had no idea, how long they would be waiting.
Clint sat down on the only chair with a sigh since he figured, Natasha would be taking the stretcher anyway, and stared at his hands, more uncomfortable than ever.

"So, um... Do you want me to wait outside?"
