The medic returned with a portable ultrasound machine in one hand, and pizza in the other.
"I ran into a pizza delivery man while I was outside. Hope you don't mind that I paid him and sent him on his way. I figured that given the situation, you prefer to avoid contact with as any people as possible." He explained. Kensi reached for her wallet to pay him, but he waved her off. "Pizza is on me. Congratulations, Miss Donatello." He winked at Sara. "Now let's get this set up. Once I get it ready, I can get Kensi to hold it while I do your cast so you have something to entertain you." He suggested. Sara felt tears welling up in her eyes in appreciation. The medic set up his equipment while Kensi opened the pizza and handed Sara a piece.
"That looks and smells disgusting." Kensi joked as she bit into her own pizza - meat lovers with extra cheese, and not a vegetable in sight. "So is that a new fad, or a craving?" She asked, trying to keep the mood light.
"You know how much I hate anything green." Sara said. "How do you think I knew I was pregnant? I can't seem to get enough broccoli. I eat it on everything now." Kensi just made a face as she took devoured another slice of her own pizza.
"Ok, we're ready to go here." The medic said. "Why don't you lie down on the couch here, careful not to bump your injuries." He reminded her as he helped her lie back. "Now just lift your shirt up a bit. We need to use this gel to help with conduction of the ultrasound waves." He explained as he applied the gel and retrieved the ultrasound wand. "Just watch the screen." He continued, and a moment later an image appeared. "Well hello there, baby! Don't you just look perfect?" He grinned, turning from the screen to Sara.
Tears were running down her cheeks, and she had a mix of awe and joy on her face. Kensi couldn't keep the smile off her face as she watched the screen with a huge grin. After a moment, the medic explained what exactly they were looking at, indicating the hands, feet and face.
"I would guess you're about fourteen weeks. Good timing, actually, if you like I can take measurements to be more exact, and we can have the results analysed to see if anything appears to be wrong." He explained, but Sara shook her head.
"It doesn't matter. I don't need to know if anything is wrong. He or she is perfect." Sara said. The medic nodded, feeling no need to argue.
"Well in that case, Kensi, would you come and hold this? I can show you how to do this while I treat your friend's injuries." He said. Kensi took the ultrasound wand and followed the instructions given to her, letting Sara watch her baby on the screen.
The medic began with her shoulder. She yelped when he reset it, but her focus was quickly drawn back to the image of her baby on the screen. She listened as he explained the process of casting her wrist, but most if it barely registered. The next thing she knew, an hour had passed and her injuries were treated, but she still couldn't get enough of watching the ultrasound.
"Well, it looks like you are good to go. Nothing appears to be wrong with your little one, but you'll need to continue to take it easy. I'd advise you take prenatal vitamins and start prenatal care as soon as you can, but if that isn't a practical option at this point in time, I can check in with you in a few weeks. Just have Hetty contact me." He said. Sara and Kensi nodded. "I've left you a list of your injuries and recommended treatment. Stay off your ankle as much as possible for six weeks. The cast can come off your wrist in eight weeks. As long as you are not at risk, I would strongly advise you remain with Agent Blye until your injuries are healed."
"She's not going anywhere for now." Kensi said. "You're safe here." She reminded Sara. The medic nodded and then began to pack up the ultrasound machine and the rest of his equipment. When he returned for his last few items, he left his business card on the table with instructions to call him if they needed anything.
Sara sank back into the couch, trying to find a comfortable position to rest. She flicked on Titanic again, and continued to eat her pizza. Kensi observed from the kitchen, wondering what to do next. Sara clearly needed her rest, but Kensi was anxious to find out more about what had happened. Her training was screaming at her to collect evidence and take a statement - but this was her friend, and Kensi already knew that no charges would be laid and there would never be a trial. Sara was too scared to face him - and if Kensi ever got her hands on him, he wouldn't live to see another day. She sighed heavily and took another bite of her pizza. Finally, she made up her mind to go sit with Sara and see if she could get her to talk - but as she made her way over to the couch she realised Sara was already sound asleep. She paused a moment before going to her room to get a blanket, which she tucked carefully around her friend.
