I Do Not Own CSI
"Sara," Catherine shouted, watching as she fell to the ground, quickly running over.
"Sara," Catherine said again, rubbing her face and arms and getting no response.
"Sara, wake up!"
"What's going on," the police office asked, running up to see Sara lying on the ground.
"Call 911! Sara fainted and isn't coming to!"
"Sara, come on now, you gotta wake up."
"Gil, oh god," Catherine said, opening her cell phone and dialling his number.
"Grissom"
"Gil!"
"Cath, what's wrong? Is everything ok?"
"No, Sara fainted and isn't waking up. The ambulance is on its way."
"Is she bleeding, Cath," Grissom asked, already half way down the hall of CSI, putting on his jacket with one hand.
"I don't think so, no. The ambulance just pulled up, meet us at the hospital."
"Take care of her, Catherine," was all Grissom got in before Catherine hung up her cell.
"Ma'am," the paramedics said, coming up to Catherine. "What happened?"
"I don't know. She's pregnant. She was looking a little pale. I was going to get her some water, next thing I know she's passing out," Catherine explained as the paramedics rolled on a blood pressure cuff and then quickly rolling Sara onto a stretcher.
"Why isn't she waking up?"
"Her blood pressure is a little off, and I think she's a little dehydrated," the paramedic said as the wheeled her to the ambulance.
"Get a line started."
"You got it."
"Are you coming with us, ma'am?"
"Yeah."
"Banks," Catherine yelled to the police officer guarding their scene.
"Call CSI and get another CSI over here to finish the scene. I'm going with Sara."
"You got it, ma'am."
"Sara," the paramedic called as the line started to make Sara come to a little bit.
"Mmmmm," Sara moaned.
"Are you hurt, Sara? Any cramping," the paramedic asked.
"Head hurrtss."
"You hit it when you fell," Catherine explained.
"Baby?"
"We're on the way to the hospital now, Sara."
"If I lose it, it's my fault."
"How could it be your fault, Sara?"
"It was too soon. I didn't want to be pregnant, not yet."
"Sara…"
"No, if I lose it, it's my fault," Sara said with tears in her eyes as the ambulance pulled up to the hospital. The paramedics rushed Sara out.
"Dr. Keys, Catherine, find her, please."
"You have my word, Sara," Catherine said as they separated. Gil was waiting just around the corner.
"Sara," Gil said, walking with her as the paramedics rolled her into an ER room.
"Mrs. Grissom, are you experiencing any cramping, any pain at all, bleeding," the doctor asked as she read over her chart quickly.
"No, to the first two, I'm not sure about the last one. Gil, I'm scared, I don't want to lose this baby."
"You won't, honey, I promise," Gil said, stroking her hairline as the doors closed and the two female nurses got Sara's pants and underwear off to check for bleeding, covering her up to give Sara some decency.
"I'm bleeding, aren't I," Sara said quietly.
"A little bit, yes, but you're not experiencing pain or cramping, you may have just spotted a little bit, it happens in early pregnancy more than you think. Do you know how far along you are yet?"
"No, we just found out, I had an appointment next week."
"Sara, Gil," Dr. Keys said, coming quickly into the room.
"You're lucky I'm on call tonight. Dr. Raymond, I'm Sara's OBGYN. What do we know?"
"Some spotting, no cramping or pain. Mrs. Grissom fainted, but woke once rehydrated."
"How have you been feeling the past couple days, Sara," Dr. Keys asked.
"Overwhelmed," Sara answered softly.
"Are you remembering to eat and drink," Dr. Keys asked.
"Most of the time, I haven't been feeling one hundred percent, and until yesterday I didn't know I was pregnant. I'm going to lose this baby, aren't I?"
"I don't think so, Sara, but we're going to take a look anyway, just to make sure. I'm going to do an exam. We'll do an ultrasound as soon as the machine is free, ok."
"Why do we keep finding out about babies under duress in the hospital," Sara mumbled.
"To keep us on our toes," Gil said, kissing Sara's head as Dr. Keys started her exam on Sara, making Sara wince at the feel of the exam.
"Sorry, Sara, just relax for a few more minutes for me, ok."
"MMhhhmm. Guys have it so easy, you know that," Sara stated, trying to take her mind off the exam.
"Why's that?"
"You don't have to go through exams like these, you can pee standing up, you don't have a period or carry babies and give birth, and no shaving you legs. You have it easy."
"Women don't have it that bad."
"I beg to differ at this moment."
"Well, you don't have to deal with shaving your face, or voice changes, or male puberty."
"Wet dreams and morning wood, what a shame," Sara said, making Dr. Keys and the other female nurse in the room laugh.
"She's got you there, Gil," Dr. Keys said with a smile as she finished her exam.
"Well?"
"Everything looks ok, but we're still going to do an ultrasound just to be sure."
"So the baby…"
"Seems alright at the moment."
"Oh, thank God!"
