Disclaimer: I do not own CSI or the characters used, the big boys at CBS do.
Dr. Will Denvey is very much mine.

Summery: It's a year after Sara left Vegas, and Grissom's heart is starting to fail him. Sara's already too fragile. Will this be the reason she finally crashes, or will Grissom move to Frisco to be with her?

A/N: This idea just came to me, so I decided to write it. Depending on the interest I get with the first three chapters, I'll decide if I'm going to carry on with it or not.
I don't know where I'm going with this, but, I'm hoping it's going to be based around GSR.
Please let me know what you think.
Enjoy.
Take care.

Chapter One

Grissom lay on the hard hospital for the third time in two months. The doctor said it was nothing, just his age finally catching up on him. Or, rather that's what he said until today.

"Dr. Grissom. I'm afraid to have to tell you this, but, your heart is getting weaker. It seems that your latest burst of illness effected had put too much strain on it. The long hours and stress at work also seem to be putting a large amount of stress on it." Dr. Will Denvey was a short, rather plump man. His hair was starting to grey and his eyes were slowly sinking into his skull. His pure white coat shone bright against his black and grey clothing.

Grissom simply nodded at his news and asked, "When can I go home?"

"You can go now Dr. Grissom. But, you need to start taking care of yourself more. If you start to feel pain, rest. If it gets too bad, have someone drive you in and I'll see to you straight away. I advice you to tell your friends, family and colleges."

"Thanks Doctor." Grissom stood and promptly left.

'Oh, God. What is Sara isn't ready to hear still needs time. What about the others? What are they going to say? '

Grissom looked down at his wrist watch.

'I'm going to be late for work.'

Sara sat on the floor of the beach house living room, sketching the beautiful love of her life, from a photo that was taken during a conference in New York. She missed him with all her heart, but she just couldn't go back. Not yet. She wasn't ready to face the questions that her family would shot at her. To stare back into the face of death every day and escape it's hold.

'God I hope he's okay. I haven't spoken to him in weeks.'

Sara was now teaching entomology at the local university. She'd been in San Fransisco for a year now. She'd seen her fair share of death, but to hear her mother killed herself the day before her trail really did knock Sara over the edge. She needed Grissom more than ever now.

'That's it. Once I've finished this, I'm calling him. That gives him time to come off shift.'
