Is Unremarkable Good Or Bad Novels & Stories

"Second." The doctor continued. "It may represent a normal variation." A pause. "Meaning nothing is wrong." Good. Very good. I liked option two. A lot. "And third?" Elara asked quietly. Dr. Alvarez's expression softened. "Third, it could represent an early marker that requires observation." Observation. Not intervention. Not emergency surgery. Not catastrophe. Observation. The distinction mattered enormously. She continued. "We don't currently have enough information to know which explanation is correct."

The technician who reviewed it wrote one line in the notes section. "Will monitor. No clinical relevance at this time." I stare at that line. Variant of unknown significance. I've seen that phrase in patient files before. It usually means exactly what it says. A blip. Background noise. Something the body carries without consequence. But someone with access to this file didn't see background noise. They saw something worth engineering an entire pregnancy around. My phone rings. Dominic. "There's something you should know before tonight," he says. His voice is different. Stripped of the careful control he usually maintains.

“There's nothing wrong with him.” There was a deafening silence after he said that. Axel stopped pacing, tilting his head. “What the hell do you mean nothing?” He barked, his voice stern. “The kid passed out and hasn’t woken up! His skin is as pale as a freaking ghost!” “I mean exactly what I said, Beta,” Maron said, his tone calm and respectful. “His heartbeat is strong. His lungs are clear. His blood pressure, oxygen levels, temperature… Everything’s within the normal range. No medical red flags, no infections, no allergic reactions. He’s… perfectly healthy.”

I thanked her and ended the call. I looked at the wall of my office for a moment. Then I picked up the phone again and called Rivera. --- He answered on the second ring. The background was quiet, which meant he was somewhere private, which meant he had been waiting for this call. "Wright," he said. "The results are back," I said. A short pause. "Tell me." I looked at my notes. "Across every standard marker, Louis is a healthy child. Red cell count, white cell count, inflammatory markers, metabolic panel — all within normal range. Several of them are quite good, actually. Better than the average for a child his age with his history."

He moved it around, squinting. “Uterus clear. Cervix normal. No masses, no anomalies.” He turned the screen toward her. “See? Nothing.” Bonnie stared at the grainy black-and-white. Empty. Normal. “But I feel it. Right there. It’s warm. It’s… happy right now.”

Nuzzling her neck to calm her and most likely himself. “Remmie, I am so sorry for this, but I have to ask this.” She said, but then looked back up to Mari. “What about the…” “Fine, he is an incredibly happy and healthy baby. A strong heartbeat and doesn’t seem to be in the least bit affected by the ordeal,” Mari said, addressing the room.

However, after a comprehensive examination, the doctors found nothing wrong with Zoe's body except for slightly low blood pressure. Kyle was furious and worried, shouting at the doctors, "She's in so much pain; how can there be nothing wrong?" "Mr. Goodman, please calm down. We have conducted a detailed examination of Mrs. Goodman. Her body seems to be in good condition. We—"

Doctor Nelson replies easily. “Oh, thank goodness.” My mother says, and I can see our relieved she looks. She looks like a huge burden has just been snatched from her shoulders. “And his heart, how about his heart?” My father asks and the doctor smiles reassuringly. “His cardiovascular system is in good shape. There is a hole, but the hole doesn’t seem to affect the overall functionality or health of his heart.” The doctor says and I close my eyes and say a prayer of thanks. This is wonderful news.

But not one. “Uhm… Mr. Moretti.” Bernal’s reedy voice draws my attention back to the sterile room, ripping me from the memory. “I’ve reviewed the full workup. Your bloods are all within normal parameters. The EKG shows a strong, healthy rhythm, and your CT scan… shows no abnormalities. Organ function is excellent. The only flag here is some minor inflammation in the bronchioles—” “I don’t need your medical jargon, Dr. Bernal.” I say, tilting my gaze to finally face him. He flinches. “Get straight to the point.”

"They're completely fine," Amelia confirmed, her fingers adjusting something on the machine that made the rapid whoosh-whoosh of their heartbeats fill the room.
