Chapter 13

As the alarms went crazy both Ruby and Dr Ryan entered the room.

"What happened" asked the doctor reaching over the place some oxygen on Sara.

"Sara just try and relax for me".

"She was upset and I was calming her down when she was hit by intense pain in her stomach" said a stressed Grissom.

"Okay Sara I am going to have a feel and tell me if it hurts".

She placed pressure in Sara's lower abdomen and Sara let out a loud groan.

"Okay Sara I am going to do a quick ultrasound "

Sara nodded. Grissom sat next to her gripping her had.

"You are doing great sweetheart". He could see the look of fear n her eyes though.

Just as the doctor was about to begin the ultrasound Sara was hit with another one.

"Okay Sara jus breathe for me. Lets do this quick". The doctor studied the images and then wrote something down and handed it to Ruby who was taking her blood pressure. Ruby quickly exited the room.

"Sara you are in premature labour, now before you start to panic I have sent Ruby off to get me some medication to give you to stop the labour. What I am going to do is to insert some mmagnesium sulphate into the IV which will slow down the labour hopefully. I really do not want us to deliver the baby just yet if this does not work then we will go straight to the OR and deliver him".

Just then Ruby walked back in with the medication.

"This should start working. Gil if there are any contractions please time then and let me know immediately okay. I will be back in about 10 minutes. Sara please try and relax"

Grissom sat there rubbing Sara's stomach and hoping that the baby would settle down. He just wished that this was all a bad dream. He knew that Sara's was not only in pain with the labour but she was really starting to look sick and just hoped that they had not missed their chance to save her.

30 minutes later and the doctor was happy with the progress. The medication seemed to be working for now.

**************************************

10 days later and Catherine and Grissom were playing a game of cards with Sara when she was suddenly hit with the same pain as last time. Grissom rushed out while Catherine tried to relax Sara.

"Cath, I think my water just broke" said Sara with tears coming down her face.

"Ok, everything is going to be fine. Gil has gone to get some help so just try and breathe for me.

The doctor came running through.

"Dr Ryan I think my water just broke"

"Okay let me have a look. Sara lie down for me please".

As she did the doctor confirmed that she was in fact in labour and quickly notified the OR.

15 minutes later Sara was being wheeled into the OR with Grissom by her side.

"Sara have you thought of a name? I just realised we have not picked one out".

"Lets have a look at him and then name him" Sara said.

Grissom knew that she did not want to give him a name until she knew he was okay.

20 minutes later and Sara and Grissom were greeted with the sound of a baby crying. Sara looked at Grissom and then just cried.

"Sara and Gil you have a baby boy"

Dr Ryan quickly brought him over to them to have a look and then he was put in the humidicrib.

Grissom leaned over and kissed Sara. "You did it" he said. She corrected him "no we did it".

"Gil we have a son" said Sara with tears coming down.

"Dr Ryan is he ok" asked Sara

"He is small and will have to be in hospital for about 4-6 weeks but if he is anything like his mother he will be fine. We are going to put a little feeding tube in his nose and a drip in his arm but he will be fine"

They stitched Sara up and moved her in to recovery. Dr Ryan came back in.

"Sorry guys I know you are trying to rest but we need a name for him"

Grissom looked at Sara.

"Do you have any ideas?" asked Grissom

Sara looked at him

"How about Luca Michael Grissom?"

"I think that is lovely. Michael after my father, he would be very happy" said Grissom.

A few hours later and Sara was returned to her room but was dozed up on pain medication so she slept while Grissom phoned the office.

Grissom went into the special care nursery and looked at his son.

"Would you like to hold your son Mr Grissom" asked the nurse.

"Is that ok?"

"Sure just for a few minutes"

As Grissom held Luca he could not believe how precious and little he was.

"You and I are going to have to help your mother as she is very sick at the moment and will need us all the way so you hang in there Luca" said Grissom kissing his forehead.

The nurse placed him back in his crib. Grissom just prayed that they would get through the next phase…..
