Amanda's Labor
This is my own version of Law and Order SVU season 17 episode 9 "Depravity Standard" and this is only going to be a fanfiction story for the beginning of the episode. Amanda Rollins is at the hospital in labor and experiences contractions that cause urgent frequent urination.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters of SVU, I just borrow them and use them to write my own stories. They belong to Dick Wolf, the producers and the people representing the characters. I don't make money out of this but this is something that I do for fun. I use a computer and a flash drive to write my stories on. I will only write about my own version of the beginning of the episode.
Chapter 1
Amanda's Labor
Amanda is in the hospital with Carisi tending to her. She's hoping that she won't have to give birth alone since her sister is in jail, her mother left her, the father of her baby is stopping sex trafficking 4,000 miles away, and she doesn't know where her father is. She wishes that Lt. Murphy was here with her so that she won't be alone for the birth of her baby.
"Carisi, go home. Fin will be back here soon." Amanda says.
"I'm not going anywhere until he gets here. You want some more ice chips?" Carisi replies.
Amanda shakes her head no since she's worried that the ice chips will make her run to the bathroom. Olivia arrives at the hospital to see Amanda.
"Contractions are five minutes apart." Carisi says.
Amanda looks uncomfortable as she's lying in her hospital bed. She feels pressure somewhere in her body.
"Hey, Amanda. How are you holding up?" Olivia asks.
"I'm tired, and I gotta pee, and it hurts like hell, and they say that it's too late for an epidural." Amanda replies.
"Hmm." Olivia says.
"Oh. Oh. I gotta pee." Amanda says.
Amanda looks like she is extreme pain. She feels a strong urge to use the bathroom as another contraction comes. All of those ice chips made Amanda's need to pee stronger than the other times she visited the bathroom.
"Okay. Here we go. Just relax. You got this." Carisi says.
Amanda whines that she needs the bathroom and she can't hold it much longer. She has used the bathroom several times since being at the hospital.
"I have to go to the bathroom." Amanda complains.
"I know. You're doing great, Amanda." Olivia says.
"No, I really have to go." Amanda says.
"Now? Can you wait until the nurse comes in to check on you?" Olivia asks.
Amanda is fidgeting in dire need in the bed as the urge to pee becomes more intense by the minute because of the contractions. She worries that she'll have an accident in her bed and then the nurse will have to clean her up and give her a new hospital gown.
"No, no, no! That's not a contraction! That's not a contraction! It's in my bladder! It was my bladder!" Amanda screams.
Amanda starts to feel a stronger urge to use the bathroom even more than when she came to the hospital to be induced. Her bladder is screaming for relief like no tomorrow.
"I have to pee!" Amanda screams.
"Okay. Hang on." Olivia says.
"I'm about to pee!" Amanda screams.
Carisi calls for a doctor who is in the hallway at the hospital. Amanda doesn't care about going to the bathroom on her own as her bladder screams for relief.
"Can we get a doctor in here?" Carisi asks.
"Help!" Amanda yells.
"Amanda, we're getting a doctor in here right now." Olivia says.
"I can't wait any longer!" Amanda complains.
"We're going to get the doctor right now, okay?" Olivia responds.
Amanda starts grabbing herself in dire need of a bathroom and fidgeting all over the bed. She's hoping that she can empty her bladder and she doesn't care if anyone watches her pee. She whines, cries and complains in pain as the urge to use the bathroom becomes stronger and stronger to the point where she can't hold it much longer.
"Amanda, I understand that you need to use the bathroom." The nurse says.
She nods her head yes as the nurse tells her that she can go to the bathroom.
"Where's the bathroom?" Amanda asks, concerned.
The nurse points at the bathroom so that Amanda knows that there's a bathroom in her hospital room.
"No, is it safe?" Amanda asks, concerned.
"We're going to take care of you. It's okay." The nurse says.
The doctor and the nurse perform a bladder ultrasound on Amanda. Her bladder is so full that she feels the need to empty it.
"I need a bedpan after the patient is done in the bathroom." the doctor says.
"Where's the bathroom?" Amanda asks, concerned.
The doctor and the nurse perform a bladder ultrasound on Amanda. The nurse strokes her hair and she tries to help her think of a distraction.
The nurse unhooks Amanda from the monitor so that she can use the bathroom instead of using a bedpan or a catheter. She didn't want a catheter because she was worried about possible infections and using a bedpan made her uncomfortable and embarrassed.
