On the way to the hospital Jim pulled out his phone and called Desert Palms, seeing if they were going to be ready when they got there, and if there was anything that they could for Catherine before they got there.
"This is Captain Jim Brass…… yah I called in earlier pertaining the case of the injured CSI who was evolved in the explosion …… she is about 3 maybe 3 ½ months pregnant… is there anything we can do for her before we get there… ok we can do that we will be there in about 5 minutes."
"Grissom make sure she stays awake." Said Jim without looking away from the road, they were going about 80 MPH down the strip.
"Are we almost there?" Mumbled Catherine, her eye lids getting heavier by the second.
"We're almost there I promise." Whispered Gil.
"I can't stay awake anymore…I love you." Whispered Catherine to Gil as she was taken into the blissful unawareness of unconsciousness.
"Catherine," Said Gil gently shaking her, "Catherine you have to stay awake."
He knew it was hopeless; Catherine had lost too much blood and had started to go in to shock.
When they arrived at Desert Palms the staff was ready for them; they had a gurney by the door waiting for Catherine to be on it and to rush her to the OR immediately. Gil slowly got out of the car with a limp Catherine in his arms; he gently placed her on the gurney and watched silently as they wheeled her away. He was jolted from his thoughts by a hand gently squeezing his shoulder.
"She's a trooper, she will be fine." Said Jim reassuringly," We should bring you home to get you some new clothes."
Gil was about to say his clothes were fine, but that was when he noticed that a large portion of his pants and shirt were a dark crimson color.
"Jim, please let me stay I really want to be here when she gets out of surgery." Gil pleaded. Jim decided that Gil should be her when Catherine did get out of surgery.
Jim lead Gil to the waiting room and went off in search of some coffee, When he returned Gil was sitting in the same place starring at the wall in front of him with a blank stare. Jim handed Gil the coffee and stepped outside to call Sara. But as he walked out the door he ran right into Sara, Nick, Warrick and Greg.
"How is she?" Asked Sara worriedly.
"Well they rushed her in for emergency surgery, to fix some broken ribs and internal bleeding, Gil is in the waiting room we can talk in there." Replied Jim.
3 hours later
A doctor opened the door to the waiting room and pointed to the CSI's.
"Are you the family of Catherine Willows-Grissom?"
