Chapter 10
Grissom returned to the hospital about 2 hours later to find Catherine sitting with Sara who was sleeping soundly.
"Hey, how is she doing?" whispered Grissom
"Fine. She woke up not long after you left and said she was in a bit of pain and asked for some more pain relief so I am guessing you had an effect on her" Catherine said.
"Thanks for sitting with her. You should get some sleep before you have to head back for your shift"
"If you need anything call me. The guys said they will be in after shift too"
"Thanks" Grissom said.
After another 3 hours Sara finally started waking and looked much better.
"Hey there sleepy head, how are you feeling"
"Much better, when do you think I can get home as I just want my own bed" asked Sara?
Grissom sighed and took Sara's hand. "Honey Dr King wants you to stay just a bit longer, the more rest you get is better and you are in the best place"
"How much longer"?
"May be 3 days" Sara made a face and was about to say something when Grissom said "Please do this for me sweetheart" begged Grissom
"Ok".
********************************
After another 4 days Sara was finally released from the hospital with her wounds healing and the pain decreasing she would be able to go home as long as she took it easy. The baby was given the all clear too. As Sara was getting dressed Grissom noticed how big her belly was now getting and she was not able to do her trousers up so Grissom promised he would get Catherine to pick her up some maternity clothes.
Sara needed to go back to the doctors once a week for blood tests to monitor everything but the doctor made it clear that she still needed further treatment.
Grissom was back at work and Sara was begging him to let her come back to work.
"No way Sara, you are not coming back to work"
"If the doctor says I can then I will"
"You need your supervisor to sign off on it and I am not going to do that"
"Gil you are not my supervisor and Catherine said if I get the all clear then she will"
"Sara you are backing me into a corner here IF you are given the all clear then there will be rules"
"What rules" Sara asked
"Ok you will not be doing any doubles. You will only be able to work 5 days and if you are tired at any time then you must rest ok" said Grissom
"Fine" Sara agreed.
"Sara not only are you still sick but you are 5 months pregnant so you need to take it easy"
"Gil I promise".
2 weeks later and Sara was given the all clear to return to work. She had to stay in the lab for the first few weeks but she did not mind. She was amazed at how much the baby was growing and Dr Ryan had told Sara that the baby was at normal weight now. Her blood tests did not change too much with her white cells still showing the infection in her body but it had not dropped too much so there was no immediate danger.
********************************
2 months later and Sara was now 7 months pregnant and really finding it hard even though she would not say anything as work was a really good distraction.
Catherine, Sara and Nick were called out to a double homicide. It looked liked the two lovers killed each other in a Romeo and Juliet style. Sara was taking pictures of the young girl while Nick was doing the man and Catherine was checking the parameter. While Sara was bent down she felt the beds of sweat run down her face. Nick noticed.
"Sara are you ok?" asked Nick
"It is just a little hot in this room and seems a bit stuffy, I think I might go outside and grab some fresh air" Sara said
As she started to stand she felt a small camp in her stomach and crouched over. "Sara" yelled Nick
"It's ok just a twinge Nick, I am fine I promise" Sara said
As she started to walk towards the door she felt the room move and before she knew it everything went black.
Nick ran towards her and caught her just in time.
"Catherine quick" yelled Nick
"Sara, come on wake up"
Catherine came running in. "What happened" demanded Catherine.
"She was taking pictures and I noticed she was sweating when I asked her if she was ok she said she just needed some fresh air and then she doubled over with a cramp but insisted she was fine, what is wrong"
"Nicky call an ambulance now"
Nick went and called the ambulance.
"Catherine should I call Grissom"
"Not yet wait til she in the ambulance" said Catherine
They heard the sirens in the background
Just as they were about to pull up Catherine noticed that Sara was bleeding.
"Nick quick, go and meet the ambulance tell them she is pregnant and bleeding"
Just then the paramedics came rushing through.
What happened. "She started sweating and the cramped up. She just starting bleeding too. She is 7 months pregnant but also has Hodgkin's Disease" Catherine said.
"Ok lets get some oxygen on her and then get the IV into her. Once the IV was in they had her on the stretcher and were placing her into the ambulance
"I am going with her" demanded Catherine
"Nick call Grissom and have him meet us there. Tell him to phone her doctors" yelled Catherine.
Nick stood there as the ambulance sped off.
