"Yes, she is fine. In the accident she sustained some minor internal bleeding and some fractures. We managed to stop the internal bleeding and repair the fractures." The doctor said riding every one of their worries.

"So can we see her?" Grissom asked standing up and removing his glasses.

"I'm sorry but only one person can see her for now." He answered lowering his gaze to the ground. The C.S.I crew all looked at one another.

"Catherine will go." Greg spoke up. He knew that Sara and Catherine had chemistry between them and Catherine was more worried then the others were.

"Who will watch Lindsey?" Catherine asked turning quickly to Greg.

"I will. Well, all of us will." Warrick replied placing his right hand on Lindsey's small right shoulder. Catherine smiled softly. She loved how they all were like a big family and in times like these they would stick together more then ever. The doctor turned and started to walk off. Catherine follwed him with haste. He soon stopped at a door and the strawberry blonde stopped as well.

"Now when you go in there she will not look like the woman you know." He warned. The older C.S.I nodded her head wondering how bad Sara looked. The doctor opened the door. The brunette was laying on the hospital bed with her hazel eyes closed. IV's were attached to her slim arms and she had a breathing mask over her nose and mouth. Catherine covered her mouth gently with her right hand as tears began to fill her deep blue eyes. She slowly walked over to the bed and took the young C.S.I's right hand in her hands and couldn't help but to let the tears fall. A few fell onto the leggy woman and her right hand instantly jumped to life squeezing onto the strawberry blonde's hand slightly. Sara struggled for a few moments with her eye lids and managed to get them open only half way. The older C.S.I squeezed onto the young C.S.I's hand once she saw those beautiful hazel eyes but they seemed so different. Pain and fear filled Sara's hazel eyes.

"I'm so sorry Sara I should have never called you when Eddie went on a drunken rage. If I would have never got you involved in it you would have never ended up here." Catherine cried," I...I love you Sara." Sara's eyes opened all the way. The leggy woman locked eyes with the strawberry blonde. The gaze was full of love and passion. The brunette took her left hand and pushed the breathing mask off.

"I love you too." Sara answered in a weak, husky voice. Sara sat up and caught Catherine's soft perfect lips with hers. They kissed for a few moments but when the need for breath became and issue Catherine was the first to pull away.

"That was amazing." The brunette said amazed as a wicked smile crossed her lips. Catherine only nodded as a wide devilish grin crossed her mouth. The door flung wide open and the heavy smell of alcohol filled the room. Ed stumbled in with a gun in his hand. Sara didn't know if it was load because it was a revolver. He waved the gun around.

"I knew you two loved each other. You are such a whore Catherine." Ed slurred out. His words were barely even understood. He was so intoxicated that his speech sounded like one big slur. He aimed the gun at Sara and pulled the trigger...

((from the author: sorry it took so long for me to post this chapter. I have been really busy lately. Now imagine Ed drunk but times it by 1000 and that is why he has a gun in his hand and ready to kill someone.))
