Chapter 4- Love
At the hospital the team sat in the waiting room, praying that Sara would be ok.
"Gil," Catherine began as she sat down next to him.
He looked up at her.
"Earlier, when you said that Natalie blamed you for the death of her brother, the only person she loved, and now she was going after the only person you've ever loved…"
"I meant it," he interrupted her. "I love her. I love Sara and if…" He began to cry.
"She's going to be fine Gil. Sara is a fighter," she said putting a friendly arm around his shoulders.
The doctor walked out into the waiting room.
Gil jumped up. "Doctor? How is she?"
The doctor looked at him with reassuring eyes. "Both of her legs were broken. She had a collapsed lung but we did surgery on it immediately and it is fine now," the doctor explained.
"Can we see her?" Nick asked.
"One at a time in recovery. She needs to rest and if there are a lot of people she won't," he said sternly.
"Gil. You go," Catherine said softly. "Say hi for us," she smiled.
Gil walked away and into Sara's room.
"Gil," she said hoarsely.
Gill sat down next to her and smiled. "I'm so sorry Sara."
"Don't be," she said taking his hand in hers. "It wasn't your fault. None of it was."
He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. "I love you Sara," he whispered in her ear.
"I love you Gil," she smiled as he lowered his lips to hers.
"I'm never going to let anything bad happen to you ever again," he said reassuringly. "Never," he smiled.
Sara nodded and smiled. "If you love me I wouldn't expect anything less," she laughed.
"Glad to see you still have your sense of humor and I do love you. More than anything and anybody in the world," he smiled back.
"Same here," she said pulling him into another passionate kiss. "I love you so much."
