"Your white blood cell count is a little high and your red blood cells are lower than usual.
This is just a precaution, but I need you to get a full boy CAT scan and I'll start you on
some strong antibiotics."
"So the cancer isn't back, is it?"
"None of the tests came back positive, but lets just see how you respond to the
antibiotics." She quickly wrote up two prescriptions. "This is the medication," she
handed her the slip of paper. "The side effects usually are nausea, dizziness, and being
suddenly tired. You can work, but take it easy. It would be best for you to rest though."
"Lucky you," Nick joked. "You get to sleep in."
Sara smiled and laughed at Nick's attempt to distract her from the present situation.
Dr. Sparks handed Sara the next prescription. "This is for the CAT scan. Don't eat or
drink anything for four hours before it, or you may feel ill. Ink will have to be injected so
that I can see everything clearly."
"Thank you Madeline," Sara smiled.
She just smiled and responded, "I'll call you when the results are in. Nick, make sure
that she's taking care of herself."
"I will. Thank you."
Sara and Nick went to his car and he drove to the pharmacy to fill her prescription. He
gave her a bottle of water when he went back to the car and opened the childproof cap,
and took out a large yellow pill. Sara quickly swallowed it and stated, "We have to tell
them."
"Yeah," Nick quietly responded. "I know that we weren't going to move in together for
another week, but lets do it now. We'll go over to your apartment, pack up the essentials
for a week, you'll relax," he stressed, "and then tomorrow I'll pack up the rest of your
stuff."
"Hmmm." Sara pondered out loud.
"Hey. I'll do all the hard work while you sit down and relax. I'll be your boy toy slash
moving man slash co-worker slash-" Sara silenced his rambling with a kiss.
"I'd love it if you would."
"Yea!" Nick's eyes lit up.
