I forgot I would like to dedicate this story to my friend Elin, who I hope feels better soon. She's suffering from the same disease as I gave Grissom in this story. I was tired of reading fanfictions about Grissom and Sara and it was almost always Sara who was dangerously ill or hurt, so I thought; why never Grissom?
Thanks to Lionessmon for the beta!
GSR4EVA: Cool that your mum's Swedish! It was almost right. It's Jag älskar dig (I love you), but since you don't have the letter Å, Ä, or Ö, I know it can be hard. If you want to see some written Swedish, I think you should look at my other story Balder. There are some Swedish in that one. – I will update it when I get the time.
SilverDragon54: No, Ikea is not a word. It's just a name of a company. Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) too. ;-)
Disclaimer:
Sara was both confused and worried that Grissom didn't seem to recognize her.
"Gil honey, what's the matter? Are you OK?"
"My head hurts Sara", he sighed, clearly having trouble speaking. Sara smiled and sighed happily. At least it was just a temporary memory loss.
"I think you need to be checked out by a doctor sweetie", she said and stroked his hair.
Grissom hadn't the energy to fight her. He let her pull him up from the couch and leaned on her as they walked out to Sara's car.
Sara helped him get into the passenger's seat and put his seat belt on before closing the door and walking over to the driver's seat. She looked at him worriedly. He had started mumbling something about weird sounds again. She sighed and put the key in the look and turned the engine on. The sooner she got Grissom to the hospital, the better!
The ride to the hospital was quiet except from the Grissom's mumbling about weird sounds now and then. Sara didn't know what to think. This was not a normal migraine or head ache. This seemed serious. It couldn't be something dangerous like a brain tumour, could it? She wasn't sure she could live if something bad happened to him.
When Sara pulled up in front of the hospital, Grissom seemed to have travelled into his own world again and she had to help him out of the car and into the hospital. There she sat him down in a chair and went to the girl in the reception.
"Hi! My name is Sara Sidle and this is Gil Grissom." She pointed over to Grissom in the chair. "He has been complaining about a head ache for awhile now and today he started hallucinating and couldn't remember anyone or anything."
"Ok. I'll get you a wheel chair he can sit down in", said the nurse and left Sara.
Only a couple of minutes later, she showed up with the wheel chair as promised and she and Sara helped Grissom to sit down in it.
"I need you to wait here", the nurse said. "I'm going to take him to a doctor and he will then come out and give you the information you need."
Sara nodded and took a deep breath. She needed to calm down or her tears would start rolling down her cheeks. As the nurse drove away with Grissom in the wheel chair, the whole reality of it got to her. Until then, she had been preoccupied with getting help for Grissom, that she hadn't really thought of it. Her Grissom was sick somehow and it seemed serious! What if he didn't make it?
She did the only thing she could think of. She took up her phone and dialled.
When the other person answered, she sobbed into it.
"You need to come quickly!"
Sorry this was a little short, but if I had made it longer, it would have been to much for one chapter so I decided to make 2 instead.
TBC? – Then please give me a review!
I don't know how an American hospital works, so I go with how we do it in Sweden.
