Catherine was already in the ER of Desert Palm Hospital when Nick walked in
carrying Sara. She looked pale and was complaining of a headache. A nurse
quickly brought a wheelchair for Sara to sit in until and exam room was
available. She also took some information from Sara, so that she could
make an assessment of her condition.
They didn't have to wait very long before a doctor was available to see them. After examining her, the doctor smiled at Sara, "Ms. Sidle, you are extremely dehydrated."
"She's been throwing up quite a bit the last couple of days," Nick offered.
The doctor raised an eyebrow, "Any chance you're pregnant, Ms. Sidle.
Sara chuckled and shook her head, wincing in the process, "No, trust me, I'm not pregnant. You have to have sex to get pregnant, or at the very least take your clothes off in the near vicinity of a man. With the exception of this morning, that hasn't happened, well, in a long enough period of time that I know I'm not pregnant."
Catherine raised her eyebrows at Nick.
Sara glanced at Catherine and chuckled, wincing again, "Cath, Nick and I didn't have sex, just had most of our clothes off."
Nick looked embarrassed.
The doctor looked amused, "Well, I'm going to give you some IV fluids to rehydrate you. Your headache is most likely a result of dehydration. When you become extremely dehydrated the membrane around your brain can shrink slightly causing pressure in you head that hurts like hell."
"That sounds about right." Sara quipped with her eyes closed.
"The nurse will be in to hook you up to an IV shortly. If that doesn't help in a couple of hours, I'm going to admit you for observation," the doctor concluded.
Catherine chuckled at Nick, "So, I see you two didn't waste any time."
Sara smiled, "Yeah, I attacked Nick. We were both too tired though, we fell asleep on the couch."
Nick chuckled, "I'm glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor, Sara. I was a little worried about you."
Sara opened her eyes slightly, "Don't lie, Nick. You were a lot worried." She smiled and closed her eyes, "When they let me out of here, we can finish what we started earlier."
Nick chuckled, "Is that a promise?"
A wry smile played across Catherine's lips, "Are you sure you want to discuss this with me here?"
Sara laughed, wincing again.
Finally, the nurse came in and hooked Sara up to an IV. She drifted off to sleep and Nick just sat there looking worried.
Catherine looked at him with concern, "You know, Nick, she's going to be fine."
Nick looked at her and smiled, "I know. I'm just worried about her. She doesn't take care of herself the way she should."
"You'll be good for her." Catherine reached over and squeezed Nick's hand.
He flashed her a smile, "Thanks for coming down here, Cath. I think I needed you here more than Sara did."
"I know." Catherine gave him a motherly look.
A grin spread across Nick's face, "She's in love with me."
Catherine chuckled, "I figured that out."
"I also make her throw up." Nick quipped.
Catherine laughed at him, "Yeah, I always fall in love with men that make me throw up too."
Nick chuckled.
"Nick, it's called being love sick, literally." Catherine interjected.
The doctor came back to check on Sara who was still feeling woozy. He decided that she needed to be admitted overnight to make sure there wasn't some underlying bug responsible for her nausea and dehydration. Once she was settled in her room, Nick and Catherine came to see her.
Sara smiled as they entered, "I guess you'll have to tell Grissom I can't come to work tonight."
"I think we'll manage. Just feel better, ok, Sara." Catherine assured her.
"Thanks, Cath." She responded.
"I'll be outside, Nick." Catherine left to leave the pair alone for a moment.
"I'll come back after shift." Nick smiled at her.
Sara smiled, "You better. I don't like hospitals and you promised to have your way with me. Now I've got to lie here all night thinking about it."
Nick chuckled, "I'll see you later. Get some rest, I plan on tiring you out later." He waggled his eyebrows at her and leaned down to kiss her before leaving for work.
Sara giggled and closed her eyes as Nick left.
