"That was the last one," Martha reassured the Doctor as she set the needle aside. She continued to apply pressure to his back to help stop the bleeding as the Doctor lay flat on his stomach. Martha had given him both a local anesthetic and a little bit of sedative to help him relax. He had gripped the blankets tightly while being given the local but the actual biopsy had been just a lot of pressure and uncomfortable. He had followed Martha's instructions though and the biopsy had gone smoothly.
"All right Jack. I want you to help him roll over on to his back. Now Doctor you need to remain flat until I tell you otherwise, no pillow," Martha informed him. She placed a plaster over the mark on his back. Jack carefully helped him to roll over and he groaned at the change. His arms were sore from the way he had been laying and he didn't want to lay flat on his back again.
"Tea?" He asked sounding miserable.
"Jack can make you a cuppa. I am going to take these samples to the TARDIS and begin testing so we can find out what is going on with your kidneys. I should have an answer for you in as little as twenty four hours though it can take longer if I have to go to UNIT and use their lab. I will let you know if it comes to that. Now I will be back in just a little bit to run through your vitals again. If you have any new pain or discomfort or if you feel faint or dizzy, I want you to let me or Jack know immediately," Martha instructed him.
"K," He sighed, wondering why Jack hadn't left to get his tea yet. He was tired from the sedative, thirsty since he hadn't drank anything since before midnight and sore. The least Jack could do was get his cuppa. Jack though made sure to cover him with a blanket. He glared at Jack. "Tea?"
"Sorry I will go get it now," Jack hurried out of the room to get the tea before Martha went to the TARDIS. He returned with a fresh cuppa as well as a thermos with more in it. He held the cup so the Doctor could take a drink without lifting his head. The Doctor gratefully latched onto the straw and drained most of the cup. He smacked his lips sleepily as Jack sat the cup of tea down. "Are you going to take a nap before Sarah Jane gets here?"
"She is still coming?" The Doctor questioned as he closed his eyes.
"Yes, Martha talked to her last night and she is very concerned about you. We all are. She should have set out after dropping Luke off at school so she could be here early," Jack explained. The Doctor didn't answer but Jack could tell by his breathing that he was still awake. "Why don't you tell me more about Sarah Jane before she gets here?"
"No," The Doctor mumbled, turning his head away from Jack. "Sleepy."
"All right we will talk about her later and you can also tell me if you thought about Donna more," Jack whispered.
"I always think about Donna," The Doctor answered. A soft sob escaped his lips. Jack went around the bed to see tears running down the Doctor's cheeks again. He wanted more then anything to hold him but he had to let the Doctor lay still or they risked causing bleeding into his kidneys again. So instead he gently stroked the Doctor's hair behind his ear as the Doctor once again drifted off to sleep.
Twice while he was sleeping, Jack had to stop him from curling up on his side. Both times he got angry growls from the Doctor and the second time he got called something in Gallifreyan. Jack was sure that whatever it was it wasn't nice. Martha had been in the room at the time checking on the Doctor's vitals and she laughed hearing him complain. They both looked up as there was a knock on the autopsy room door.
"Come in," Jack called out, making sure the Doctor was covered. Ianto poked his head in.
"A Sarah Jane Smith, just arrived at the visitor center. Should I show her in?" Ianto questioned.
"Please, I will be right up to meet her," Jack answered. He turned to Martha. "Should we wake him?"
"No, let him sleep. I am sure he will be up soon enough and then he can visit with Sarah. I told her about his procedure this morning so she was aware he might be sleeping when she arrived." Martha informed Jack. Jack nodded and headed out to go see Sarah. She had known the Doctor longer then any of them and hopefully she would be able to get through to him.
