Chapter 9

Grissom sat next to Sara holding her hand and telling her to relax while the baby monitor continued to keep. Ruby was on the other side taking Sara's blood pressure. "You are doing really well Sara, just breathe and try and relax the doctors are on there way".

The doctors then came rushing into the room.

"What happened Ruby" asked Dr King.

"Sara was complaining of pain and Gil came rushing out to find me just as the baby monitoring started flashing. I have just taken her BP and it is 148 over 107".

"Sara your blood pressure is extremely high which I imagine is causing the baby to become distressed. Dr Ryan is on her way and will do an ultrasound the minute she arrives. Sara with the amount of pain you are in and on top of you being sick is most probably causing the baby to be sick too. I have to insist you take some pain relief to help you rest" Dr King said

Sara did not know what to say instead just lay there and the tears just fell down her face.

"Shh honey it will be ok" said Grissom kissing her face.

"Sara I want to keep you on oxygen until you bp comes down ok". Sara just nodded. Ruby took the mask off and replaced it with the nasal oxygen.

Dr Ryan then just entered the room wheeling in an ultrasound. She un-strapped the monitor from her stomach and got prepared for the ultrasound

"Ok Sara this might be cold". The doctor got the image on the screen and started looking concerned.

"What is wrong with out son" sobbed Sara

"Ok can you hear the heartbeat Sara?"

"Ahh" nodded Sara. Grissom just stood there comforting his wife.

"Your son is going to be ok, he is a little underweight at the moment so you need to take better care of yourself. You have just had a major operation so you need to rest and take some pain relief. It will not harm your son he is only acting to how you are feeling" Dr Ryan said.

"Ruby can you please go and get some pain relief for Sara" Dr King said.

"I will be back tomorrow for another ultrasound Sara and we will keep the baby monitor on for another 24 hours, please try and sleep no being a hero ok?"

"Thank you Dr Ryan and sorry" Sara said.

"Look Sara I know you love your baby but you need to tell us how you are feeling" . Dr Ryan then left.

Ruby returned with the pain medication and while she was giving it Dr King examined her scars. It look like the one in her neck was weeping and could be infected so she redressed it and wrote Sara up for some antibiotics. Dr King was really concerned about her state of mind and would monitor her. A few minutes later and Sara was asleep so Grissom walked out to talk to the doctor.

"Is she ok" asked Grissom

"Look Gil I am not going to lie to you I am really worried about her state of mind. Sara is far from out the woods and in order to beat this disease she needs to take better care of herself. The surgery is only an interim step until the baby is born and the more she refuses treatment then she is at higher risk for miscarriage. Also getting stressed she is putting her scars at risk of infection"

Grissom just nodded.

"Look with your permission I would like to keep Sara here longer as I think she can do with the rest" Dr King said.

"I totally agree" Grissom said.

He walked back into Sara's room and watched her sleep. He was a wreck and barely coping. He then picked up the phone.

"Willows"

"Hey Cath, its me. If have time can you please come down to the hospital or send one of the guys"

"I am on my way"

Catherine arrived 10 minutes later. Shift had just finished too.

"Hey, how is she?"

"Not good, she is in so much pain and up to an hour ago was refusing medication, the baby went into distress, she is just not thinking straight. She just wants the baby to be healthy and is therefore neglecting her own pain". sighed Grissom

"Oh Gil" said Catherine rubbing his arm.

"The ultrasound was fine but the baby is a little small which is not good considering she is only 20 weeks now, the Dr wants Sara to stay in a week longer which I agreed"

"Brave man Gil Grissom"

"I know she will be mad but it is for her own good"

"Ok what can I do? Asked Catherine

"Can you sit with her. I need to go home and shower and sleep as I know I am not going to be any good for her like this"

"At least one of you is thinking straight" Catherine said.

As Grissom left Catherine entered the room. He heart ached as a mother she knew she would put her child first but if it risked her child's life then she would not. She just hoped Sara would come to her senses. She laid there listening to both the heart beats of Sara and her son.

A few minutes later Sara woke up.

"Hey how are you feeling" asked Catherine.

"Pretty sore, where is Gil?"

"He went home to shower and have a quick nap"

"Good he has been amazing I don't know what I would do without him"

"He loves you both so much. Sara you need to take care of yourself and the baby as when you are pain the baby is" Catherine said

" I know" sighed Sara.

"Can you do me a favour?" Sara asked

"Sure"

"Can you grab the nurse and see if they can give me something for the pain or to help sleep, noth" Catherine quickly but her off

"Nothing that will harm the baby right, don't worry".

Sara just nodded and thanked her lucky stars for her friends and her amazing husband. She placed her hand on her stomach and prayed her Son would be like Grissom. At that moment she was going to be smarter about this as the doctors would not do anything to endanger the baby, she just prayed this would be over soon. She laid there and the tears just fell.

Catherine then entered with Sara's new nurse Gemma. Sara did seem notice the medication and was asleep 10 minutes later. Catherine prayed that may be Sara had turned the corner emotionally, time would tell….
