Dr. [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] ‘Della’ [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_m]Whitford[/name_m] [30] is a former classmate of [name_f]Sharitee[/name_f] in pre-med and current pediatric surgeon. Though they weren’t very close in school [name_f]Della[/name_f] does follow Sharitee’s new Instagram and the two have reconnected since. [name_f]Della[/name_f] is very passionate about her work and advocates heartily for her patients since they’re children who can’t always advocate for themselves. She struggles sometimes with letting her emotions get the better of her but is working on being more professional so she can be taken more seriously in her place of work though sometimes her place of work isn’t always so professional, she’s involved in a bit of a fling with a fellow surgeon that is ill-defined in nature but the two of them are having fun.
Despite being a doctor for children [name_f]Della[/name_f] herself isn’t so sure if she wants any herself. She’s seen a lot of strife and trouble from parents even with less medically complex children and somewhat doubts if she would be able to handle all that comes with parenting. She was raised by a single father who managed to care for her and her two brothers without too much hassle or issue, he was an excellent father and would likely make a terrific grandfather as well which does influence her desire to have children somewhat. For years she’s put off figuring out if she wants kids or not away on the shelf but as she’s recently turned thirty she’s been trying to reevaluate the matter since as a doctor she’s painfully aware that her window to have biological children is going to begin to close very soon.
The matter of course is exacerbated by the fact that she hasn’t had a steady boyfriend since undergrad which would make having children a little bit more difficult. The truth is that she could see a future with her current fling but knows that he’s seeing another doctor at the hospital so she’s hesitant to bring the matter up with him. Her fear of rejection is mainly what’s keeping her from asking about continuing their relationship in a more serious manner, after being burned by a few too many people, romantic partners or otherwise, has put a damper on her outlook on life.
Regardless it seems she really have to take a look at many aspects of her life very soon, her period is nearly a full week late now.
