Sara heard her phone ring it was Catherine.
"Gil she'll be fine you know she will."
"I know that's what i want to believe, Catherine but you can't be sure. How did this happen anyway?"
"I'm not too sure but Sara was in the kitchen downstairs and when i heard a gunshot i ran downstairs and that's when i saw Sophia and we went into the kitchen and we saw her on the floor she had a huge amount of blood on her stomach, we radioed for a bus."
"She was shot?"
"No that was Sophia's gun i heard. Valerie's killer and Sara's attacker came after Sophia with Sara's gun and when he tried to shot her she shot him."
"He dead?"
"Ya."Catherine could see the pain in Grissom's eyes she was trying so hard to hold back tears. She knew he loved Sara but she didn't realize how much. She felt so bad for him. Especially if Sara did -as much as she didn't want to think about it- what if Sara did die.?
" Family and friends of Sara Sidle?"
Cath and Gris walked over to the nurse. Neither of them said anything they just stared.
"She has lost a lot of blood but she will be fine, might have to stay in the hospital for about a week."
"A week! She was stabed you said it yourself she lost a lot of blood! How can she be OK to leave in just 1 week?!"
"Grissom relax."Catherine was whispering because she was afraid that she would cry.Gris bearly looked over at her, he couldn't believe tha this woman was saying that she could leave in 7 days it was too little time and he knew that if Sara didn't have to stay he wouldn't be able to make her.
"Yes sir tat is what the doctor said, now if you have a problem with that go take it up with him. Now if you want to see her it's just down that hall to your left." she said pointing.
Grissom was walking so quickly Catherine was ready to grab his arm just in case he started to run. Brass had brought Sophia back to the scene to get her car and then he went back to the hospital and joined Grissom and Catherine.
Sara was sitting up in her bed she seemed OK considering what had happened. Grissom went straight in and kissed her for what seemed like forever. Catherine tried as hard as she could not to cry but she couldn't stop herself, tears started streaming down her face. She noticed Sara was crying too.
Grissom spent about 2 hours trying to convince Sara to stay in the hospital at least for a couple more days. Of course it was Sara so she had to compromise and told him that she would take a week off work but she wouldn't stay in the hospital. Soon after she got home she realized it was a horrible compromise. She was sitting on the couch trying to read the book on entomology that Grissom had given her one christmas. She would read it when she couldn't sleep and now was the perfect time. She didn't need sleep she had gotten plenty but staying at home in the middle of the night with only a dog to keep her company wasn't exactly her idea of a good time. She would so rather be working but not having 10 people asking her if she was OK was kinda nice.
She had her eyes closed and was just about to fall asleep and then the phone rang. She answered and it was Catherine, she was a bit surprised but Cat said that she was on her break and was going to stop by to check up on her. She said she'd be over in 15 minutes. Sara tried to convince hersalf that Cat was coming because she wanted to come see a friend but Sara knew that she was coming because Grissom wanted her to.
She heard a knock at the door, she went to answer it.
"Hey Catherine come in."
"So how are you feeling?"
"Fine."
"Sorry i know it must get annoying how people keep asking you that but you know it's cause we care."
"It's ok i'm used to it by now."
"Of course. I know it's none of my buisness but do you think you could tell me what was wrong earlier?"
"It's nothiing and i know i'm not so it's all good, i'm fine."
"You're not what?"
"It's nothing. Coffee?"
"No thanks. Look Sara i know you dont want to talk about it but you know you have to and you've been avoiding Grissom so...?"
"I haven't been avoiding Grissom."
"Yes you have, everyone's noticed."
"It's nothing big it's just i thought that maybe..."
"What? Maybe what?"
Grissom was still stuck at his desk doing paper work. At least he could relax, knowing that Sara wasn't alone. He knew asking Catherine to go to talk to Sara was kinda stupid, considering she should be working, but they didn't have any cases so Cath would have been doing nothing anyway, and she should be happy cause she was getting paid to talk to her friend. He hadn't told Catherine to find out what was wrong with Sara but he was hoping she would ask anyway, eventhough if she did find out she wouldn't tell him but at least he would know Sara wasen't keeping everything to herself.
"It's just that well a few weeks before i got stabed i thought that..."
"Stop doing that Sara and tell me!"
"I thought i was pregnant and i didn't tell Grissom cause i tought...i dont know what i thought."
"OMG why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know i was... scared i guess." Sara was starting to get tears in her eyes.
"Sara you can tell me anything and this would have been a lot easier to handle if you had talked about it. When are you gonna tell Grissom?"
"I don't know I'm just trying to avoid telling him right now." Sara's hands were shaking and tears were streaming down her face. Catherine knew she should talk about it but right now wasen't a good time. She went over to Sara who had been sitting on the couch and she gave her a hug and told her it was ok and that she wouldn't tell Grissom unless she wanted her to.
