Sidney waved to Nancy who waved back. She knew they were coming in so he didn't have to check in like everyone else. It made things a little easier and kept Silas from panicking. He definitely didn't do well at the clinic more so than other places. Sidney wasn't quite sure why but it seemed like being around other potential donors and carriers ratcheted up Silas's agoraphobia.
It was easy enough for Sidney to stay close to him and talk in calming tones. It would be easier if they were in Sidney's office but that wasn't easier for Nancy and Marc so Sidney and Silas had to wait with everyone else.
"Are you excited to see the babies? They'll be so much bigger this time. They'll look like actual babies," Sidney said, rubbing his thumb over the back of Silas's hand. He tugged gently to get Silas to stop focusing on the other people in the room. "Look at me, okay."
