"So based on the initial exams, everything seems normal and healthy. But I'd like to do a few more evaluations, just to be thorough," Maria said cheerfully, either ignoring or oblivious to the three redheads collectively rolling their eyes. The second round of testing went much like the first.
"Okay Brielle, I'm going to check your flexibility. Can you lie down on your back?"
"Heeheehee that tickles!" Brie giggled as Maria's fingers dug into the sensitive hollows behind her knee.
"I need to make sure you have full range of motion. Okay, let's have a look at those tootsies!"
The young redhead obediently kicked off her shoes and socks, revealing her bare feet.
"First I'll check your plantar reflexes," Maria explained, taking Brie's foot in her hands. She then dragged her fingernail firmly along the sole, from the heel up to the ball of her foot.
"Eeeeek! Ahahahaha!" Brie immediately threw her head back, dissolving into helpless giggles.
"Good reflexes!" Maria remarked with a smile, seemingly deaf to the tickling she was causing.
Next it was Tina's turn. "Let me listen to your lungs," Maria said, placing the stethoscope under Tina's shirt. As she moved it around Tina's sides and back, the cold metal disk grazed over her ribs.
"Ahaha NOhoho stahap!" Tina squealed.
"Deep breaths now, I need you to breathe normally," the doctor instructed.
After that was done, Maria grasped Tina’s foot and slowly bent it towards her shin to test the Achilles reflex. As she did so, her fingers scraped along the sensitive heels.
"Oooh! Hahahahaha!"
Finally it was Hillary's turn to remove her shoes and socks. Maria took the redheaded mom's foot in both hands, rotating it side to side.
"Let's check those ankle joints..." As she moved Hillary's foot, her thumbs rubbed back and forth right in the hollow of her arches.
“Any pain when I do this?”
"Everything *snort* seems fiiihihihihi-iine!" Hilary sang out between giggles, her sweet feet wriggling in the doctor's grasp.
"Now now Hillary, I need you to hold still," the young doctor said in a gentle but firm tone. Once again, Maria tried to grasp at Hillary’s squirming feet only to dig into them creating more delicious tickling sensations.
"Ahahaha! I'm s-sorry, I can't hehelp it!" Hillary cried, pulling her feet away.
Maria sighed. "I'll need to restrain you to thoroughly examine your feet."
With a professional calmness, she retrieved a pair of velcro cuffs and secured Hillary's ankles to the end of the exam table. A second pair went on her wrists completely immobilizing her. Hillary tugged at the restraints with an anxious giggle. “At this point, I shouldn’t really be surprised.” She thought to herself.
"Don't worry, this is just to ensure I can properly check your reflexes," Maria said, running a finger lightly up Hillary's arched sole. The redhead let out a cute squeal, squirming helplessly. Tina and Brie watched with a mix of amusement and sympathy (but mostly amusement) as the doctor continued her innocent, but relentless examination.
"Eep! Ahahahahaha! Oh nohohohohno!" Hillary threw her head back, as the doctor's agile fingers danced over every inch of her feet, from heels to toes, testing the reflexes.
"Good, good..." Maria murmured with a smile, making notes on her clipboard. She then used a dull instrument to firmly stroke up the length of Hillary's foot, watching her toes curl with each stroke.
"Ooooohohohoh! Aaaaahhahaha!" The ticklish mother shrieked with every stroke, but there was no escape from the exam table restraints.
"Well, that went very smoothly. You have excellent pedal reflexes." the doctor said with an approving nod.
"I'll also need to take a closer look at your abdomen," the young doctor stated matter-of-factly. She hiked up Hillary's rumpled shirt, exposing her midriff and navel. The redheaded mother braced herself, clenching her eyes shut, but she was helpless to stop the spurts of laughter that erupted from her lips as Dr. Rodriguez systematically prodded and kneaded every inch of her lower abdomen. When those nimble fingertips finally found their way into the pit of her sensitive ball outie bellybutton, Hillary squealed loudly.
"AHAHAHAHOHOHOHO STAHAHAHP! NOHOHOT THEEHEEHERE!"
Her laughter echoed through the examination room, back arching as she squirmed wildly against the velcro restraints binding her.
"You're clearly in excellent health," Maria remarked. The doctor’s professional demeanor was a stark contrast to Hillary’s desperate disposition. As the exam came to a close, the accidental torturer excused herself from the room.
"I just need to step out for a moment to consult on something," the young doctor said. "I'll be right back."
Before Hillary could protest, the door had already closed behind Maria. Her eyes slowly made their way to her daughters, who exchanged a mischievous look.
"Well, well... Since the good doctor left her examining tools behind..." Tina snatched up the dull instrument Maria had been using to test reflexes.
Hillary's eyes went wide. "Oh no, you two don't even think about it!" She laughed nervously, trying to pull her feet away, but the velcro restraints held them firmly in place. “You two have already caused enough trouble tod-aaaaaheheheehehehey”
Brie had interrupted her mom’s speech by using her nails to lightly scratch at the balls of her feet.
"AHHHhahahahaha! Stahahahap! Girls! AAAAhahahahaha"
"Quiet patient, this is a very thorough examination!" Tina giggled, stroking the instrument up and down Hillary's feet mimicking Dr. Rodriguez’s movements.
The redheaded mother threw her head back, peals of laughter bursting from her lips as her two devious daughters took turns exploring her bound feet.
"Great reflexes on your pedu… pedi… whatever, your abdomen is next!" Brie moved up to sit on her mom's hips. Hillary’s navel was still tingling from the earlier probing and Brie’s skittering fingers set her off again.
"EEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHE NOHOHOHO! HAHAHAHAHA!"
The improvised "examination" continued with Brie and Tina alternating between tickling their mom's toes and tummy, with their faux medical teasing. The logical part of Tina’s brain registered the irony that Hillary’s laughter was only slightly louder now than when Dr. Rodriguez had been working her over.
The sound of the door opening caused Brie and Tina to freeze, their hands hovering over their mom's helplessly bound form. Hillary gaped at Maria, blushing furiously. “G-girls please.”
"Uhh... We were just... continuing the examination?" Brie grinned sheepishly, while slowly dismounting off Hillary's hips. Tina hid the instrument behind her back and stealthily placed it back on the nearby desk. To their relief, the Latina doctor’s expression of shock dissolved into an amused shake of her head and a small chuckle. “They never trained me on this in medical school!” Her voice took on a firmer edge as she continued, “Could you girls maybe wait outside while we finish up in here?”
Brie and Tina sheepishly exited the room. As they walked out, they could faintly hear muffled sounds coming from behind the closed door. There were some indistinct voices, along with the crinkle of fabric and rustling. But then Brie's eyes widened as she clearly made out Hillary's voice through the door.
"Oh! Dr. Maria, are you sure that's...necessary?"
There was a brief pause before the doctor's reassuring tones replied. "Of course. This is just part of the full examination. I need to check everything thoroughly."
"Mmmph! Oh my...your hands are quite...cool, doctor,"
"My apologies, let me just warm them up a bit first..."
The sisters leaned in closer. They heard Hillary exhale a shuddering breath, then...
"AHHHheeheehee! Oh g-goodness, that tickles!" Their mom's signature giggling laughter rang out.
"Just relax, deep breaths..." Maria's clinical tones drifted through, followed by more of Hillary's bubbly laughter that she couldn’t contain. For the next couple of minutes, Hillary's mirthful shrieks and squeals continued to pour through the door uninhibited, occasionally punctuated by Maria's clinical murmurings about checking reflexes and responses.
After a little while, Tina and Brie...
