What I Should Have Said Chapter 6
Disclaimer: Same as always. Still want George.
AN: Sorry about ending chapter 5 so abruptly. It was getting kind of long, plus I finished it at like 12:30am, and wanted to sleep. You guys are awesome, I love the reviews. I'm still very sad that the season is over, but again thank god for reruns. Hopefully I will get to see some really awesome Nick and Sara moments. He he. Also, I know nothing about ultrasounds, what I know is from watching ER, so just bear with me. I also don't know if a pregnant woman could feasibly be showing at 10-12 weeks, but that is roughly 2 ½ to 3 months along and some women actually show that early so for my storyline that is the way Sara obviously is. On with the story.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Once inside the doctor's office, Sara and Nick walked to the receptionist.
"Hello" a young woman with fiery red hair said
"Hi, Sara Sidle, appointment with Doctor Williams at 11:30."
The receptionist typed in her computer looking for Sara's name
"Okay, here you are. Your all signed in. It will be a couple of minutes, make yourselves comfortable."
"Thank you." Sara replied
With that said, Sara and Nick walked over to some chairs and sat down. Nick took Sara's hand in his and smiled at her, she returned in kind. They stayed that way until Sara's name was called.
"Ready" she asked Nick
"Yep"
They stood and walked to the open door.
"Hi, I'm Margaret. I'll be working with Doctor Williams today. First thing I need you to do is step on the scale so I can get your weight."
Sara nodded and stepped on the scale. Margaret recorded the weight.
"Okay, need to get your temp really quick."
Again, Sara nodded and the nurse put the thermometer in her ear and it spit a temp in a matter of seconds.
"Alright, back this way"
Nick and Sara followed Margaret to the exam room. It was a pretty big exam room. Had the bed in the right corner with an Ultrasound machine next to it. The cabinets were on the left side of the room. Margaret asked Sara to sit down so she could take her blood pressure. After it was completed, Margaret wrote it down and then asked Sara why they were seeing her today.
"Well almost 48 hours ago I was in an explosion at work."
"Good lord, are you okay?" Margaret asked
"Yes, physically. Not really emotionally. I'm worried about my baby."
"I understand. I will tell Doctor Williams about the circumstances and see if she can get to you sooner rather than later, okay?"
"Thanks"
"Your welcome" Margaret walked over to the cabinets and pulled out the typical issue hospital gowns and handed one to Sara "Put this on, opening in the front so that we can do the ultrasound"
Sara nodded and took the gown.
Margaret left the exam room leaving Nick and Sara alone. Sara began taking her cloths off, each item she handed to Nick so he could fold them. Once naked she put the gown on and pulled it closed. Sara sat down on the bed while Nick sat in a chair across from her. They stared at each other, needing no words between them, knowing just by looking at each, their feelings of excitement and nervousness.
After what seemed like 15 minutes, Doctor Williams knocked on the door and walked in.
"Sara, hello."
"Hi"
Sara saw Doctor Williams looking at Nick with interest.
"Doctor Williams, this is Nick. He's the baby's father"
Nick stood up, while Doctor Williams stretched out her arm
"Nice to meet you Nick. I'm Mary Williams. It's great to see fathers so supportive."
"Thank you. It's nice to meet you also."
Nick went and stood next to Sara so that Doctor Williams could take the chair.
"So Sara, I understand you were in an explosion at work the other day, correct?"
"Yeah"
"I wasn't aware you worked at the crime lab. Are you being careful with the chemicals you use at work?"
"Yes, I have been"
"That's good" Doctor Williams looked at Sara's chart before speaking again "So because of the explosion, you became worried about the baby being okay?"
"Yeah"
"I understand, why don't you lay down and we can do an ultrasound for you."
Sara laid down while Doctor Williams opened the door and motioned for someone to come into the room. Nick went around the table and stood on Sara's right side, next to the wall. Margaret came back into the room and said hello to them. Margaret grabbed the gel from the cabinet while Doctor Williams turned the machine on.
"You guys ready?"
They both nodded
"Okay" Doctor Williams opened Sara's gown up and put some gel on her abdomen area
"Ahh" Sara gasped "that's cold"
"Sorry about that, here we go"
Doctor Williams took the scanner and began roaming Sara's abdomen. After a couple of minutes searching she came to a stop.
"There's your baby"
Sara and Nick looked at the ultrasound in complete amazement. Both had tears forming in their eyes.
"Oh my god" Nick said "Nick, there's our baby" Sara said in wonderment
"It looks like from the development of the fetus that you are approximately 10-11 weeks along."
Sara and Nick nodded. Doctor Williams took out a calender. "Okay a normal pregnancy last 42 weeks. So your due date is approximately December 21st. Now, just so your both aware a fetus could be delivered and be healthy anytime after 36-38 weeks. Most woman in fact deliver somewhere between 38 and 42 weeks. Okay?"
Sara and Nick nodded their understanding.
Doctor Williams smiled, "would you like to hear the heartbeat?"
"Yes" Sara and Nick said at the same time
Margaret chuckled at their timed response
Doctor Williams fiddled with the machine for a second, then a loud **bump, bump, bump** came from the machine.
The tears that had formed in Nick and Sara's eyes spilled over at hearing their baby's heartbeat. Nick took Sara's left hand in his and kissed it.
"Oh my god" Sara whispered "It's so fast" she stated louder
"Yes" Doctor Williams responded "but that is normal for a fetus."
Doctor Williams reached over to the machine and picked something up and handed it to Sara and Nick.
"Your baby's first picture"
Sara took the picture and both her and Nick stared at it.
"Nick, our baby. That's our baby" Sara whispered
"I know Sara, I know."
Nick leaned down and kissed her gently and quickly on the lips.
Doctor Williams smiled at the geniuine love she witnessed from the two parents to be. She grabbed a rag and wiped off Sara's abdomen.
"Okay, were done so you can get dressed now. On your way out make an appointment to see the me in about 8 weeks." "Thank you Doctor." Nick said, stretching out his arm and shaking the Doctors hand
"Your welcome. See you both in about 8 weeks."
With that said Doctor Williams and Margaret left the room.
Outside the exam room Doctor Williams turned to Margaret and said "I don't think I've ever seen a couple so in love with each other or so in complete awe with the miracle they created."
"Me neither" Margaret agreed.
The two women went their separate ways, finishing their work
Back inside the room, Sara had gotten dressed and she and Nick were hugging each other and crying.
"We better get out of here Sara."
"Okay"
The left the room and walked to the check out area. The receptionist smiled at them.
"Sara Sidle" the nurse asked to make she had the right file, Sara nodded. "Okay, it looks like we need to schedule you for an appointment for 8 weeks, lets see." The nurse trailed off searching through the system, "Okay, we're looking at the week of July 4th. I have an opening at 10:30 on July 7th, is that okay?"
Sara mentally thought ahead.
"Yeah, sound fine to me, Nick is that a good time?"
"Yeah, sounds good"
The nurse grabbed a appointment card and wrote the information down and handed the card to Sara.
"Okay, I have you down for July 7th at 10:30am"
Sara and Nick nodded again
"Thank you" Sara said.
Nick opened the door to the waiting room and held it open for Sara. They headed out to his Tahoe in comfortable silence, holding each other's hands and thinking about their baby.
