Chapter 11
As they rode to the hospital . The paramedics worked on Sara. She came in and out of consciousness but was very confused. Catherine could not believe how long it was taking to get to the hospital. Even though it felt like 20 minutes it was in fact 2 minutes. Catherine was extremely concerned that Sara was bleeding.
As they arrived Dr Ryan her OBGYN was waiting and rushed her into emergency while Catherine had to nervously wait outside and for Grissom to come.
Grissom ran straight in. "What happened" said Grissom is a puffed voice.
"I am not really sure Nick was with her and said he noticed she was sweating when he asked her if she was ok she said she was but needed some fresh air she then had a cramp and then collapsed". Catherine said with tears in her eyes.
"One other thing Gil, she has started bleeding" sighed Catherine.
"Oh god. I never should have let her come back to work. She is 7 months pregnant and should not be in the field. Not to mention the cancer she needs to rest, GOD DAMN IT" yelled Grissom.
Just then a Dr Ryan appeared.
"Gil".
Grissom basically ran to her.
"How is Sara?" he asked.
"Honestly not good. The baby was in distress but we have managed to stop the bleeding at the moment. Her blood pressure is way too high. We will have to deliver him early but hopefully we can at least get her through the next couple of weeks. We have given her a steroid for the baby's lungs just in case we have to deliver him early. Sara will most probably have to stay here until the baby is born but then that depends on her" said Dr Ryan.
"Can I see her"
"Sure. Dr King will be by shortly to discuss Sara's cancer and exactly where they are at. Look Gil she is still very groggy as she was extremely dehydrated. "
"Thanks again doctor".
As Grissom entered the room he could hear the baby monitor which he was relived about. He pulled up a chair next to Sara and held her hand. A few minutes later and her eyes fluttered until they opened fully and focused on the person sitting next to her.
"Hey, how are you feeling" asked Grissom
"Not the best. What happened" asked a confused Sara
"You collapsed at the scene. Catherine and Nick called an ambulance. You started bleeding. Now don't panic, at the moment he is fine but the doctor said you will need to stay here until the baby is born which will probably be in a couple of weeks"
"No Gil, it is too early he is not ready" said Sara rubbing her belly.
"Sara your blood pressure is way too high which is putting you both at risk. The doctor has given you a steroid so his lungs can develop a little quicker. Dr King will be in soon,"
"Oh Gil I am not ready to have him as I am so scared" sobbed Sara.
Grissom walked towards the bed and held Sara. A few minutes later Dr King walked in.
"Hello Sara. You gave us all quite a scare. How are you feeling"
"Not the best"
"Well I have your blood test results and the infection has certainly flared up. Sara I have spoken with Dr Ryan who said that the baby will be born no later than 3 weeks time. We really need to start the chemotherapy asap as otherwise there is a chance it will start spreading. Basically the day after he is born you will begin treatment immediately, any questions?" asked Dr King
"No that is fine" Grissom said.
Sara just stared at him.
"Do I get any say in this? Asked Sara
"Sara you are extremely unwell, more than you are willing to admit. Use this time to rest up. I will be back later".
Sara felt like her head was spinning everything was out of control. She laid there and closed her eyes and tried to take in everything.
"Sweetheart are you ok" asked Grissom.
Sara opened her eyes and the tears just came and came
"Gil this is a nightmare I don't know what to do. He is going to be so small and they are going to pump this poison into my body and I will probably be too sick to see him and won't be able to breastfeed him that is for sure. He will think I have abandoned him".
"How could he think that when you are doing this in order to be there for him"
"Oh Gil I just don't know what to do" sobbed Sara. She kept crying and he got in bed behind her and just let her cry until she fell asleep. He also noticed that the monitor seemed calmer too. As she slept he laid there and just let the tears fall. He just hoped that the next few days would be ok.
He prayed that he would not loose them both and somehow there was light at the end of the tunnel….
AN: Thanks for all the comments. Please let me a review. Probably a bit longer for my next update as I have a work function and will be away for a few days. Will update as soon as I can though.
