Jamie never thought she would see Sara again, now that she has, she's left speechless. She did decide not to long after Calleigh was born that if anything should ever happen to her, then Sara would be granted guardianship of Calleigh, even though Sara did not know Calleigh existed. Oh man, Jamie thought to herself, Calleigh is down the hall, she knew in that moment that she wouldn't be able to keep Calleigh a secret from Sara any longer. She didn't even know Sara was living in Las Vegas now, she thought that Sara would never leave San Francisco. Soon Jamie's thoughts were interrupted. Crystal knew about Jamie's lifestyle since they have been friends forever now.
Sara: Jamie?
Jamie: Hello, Sara, didn't expect to see you here.
Sara: I'm just visiting a friend, how's Boston?
Jamie: Boston is fine, well at least it was ok when I left it behind.
Sara: What do you mean behind? In fact how are you?
Jamie: Considering what has happened, I'm doing better than I thought I would, and after my husband died, I couldn't live there anymore, so my family and I moved here. What are you doing here? Where's good ol' Mike at?
Sara: I'm sorry for your loss, I'm living here now, I work at the Vegas Crime Lab, have been for three years and the last thing I heard about Mike was that he was killed on the job. I stopped keeping tabs on that man when I broke up with like six years ago.
Jamie: To be honest, I'm not sorry that he died, I know thats a little mean, but all things considering the world is better off without that man it.
Jamie was trying to avoid telling Sara the whole truth about the time she left.
Jamie: So what happened between the two of you, I thought things were getting serious, I mean you guys were living together, and I could have sworn I overheard him the one day talking about asking you to marry him.
Sara: Honestly, the day you left, I broke, after I watched you drive away I just sat outside hoping you would come back, then Cindy and Mike came out and half dragged me back inside, I laid down on your bed, and cried myself to sleep, when I woke up later, I told Mike to get out, I didn't want to be with him. He was furious, said something, about what he's done so that he and I could be together, and a bunch of other stuff. To this day I still don't understand what he was talking about.
Jamie sighed at this.
Jamie: I do but I really don't want to talk about it, so how did you end up here in Vegas?
Sara: I needed a change of scenery, after I saw you in the hospital visiting Cindy, I couldn't take it anymore, everything reminded me of you, so I left, just like you did, and tried to start my life over.
Jamie: You didn't leave the way I did, our reasons were completely different.
Sara was about to say something when they were interrupted.
Calleigh: Mommy?
Jamie: Hey baby, what's wrong is Alex awake?
Calleigh: No he's still sleeping I just can't sleep, I'm hungry.
Jamie: Crystal do you have anything light Calleigh can snack on? Like an apple or an orange?
Crystal: Yeah I do, Here's an orange, and some coloring books for Calleigh.
Calleigh: Thank you.
Crystal: You're welcome angel.
Jamie: Baby, come here, sit with mommy, and I'll peel that orange while you color.
Calleigh: Ok.
Jamie pulled Calleigh up onto her lap, and told Sara to continue. Sara is trying to comprehend this little girl, she didn't know Jamie was a mother.
Sara: How old are you Calleigh?
Calleigh: I'm five years old and my little brother is two.
Sara: Five years old? Jamie?
Jamie: I know, I'm sorry, it's just with Mike in the picture, I couldn't let you know that the pregnancy survived my attack.
Sara: Why didn't you tell me, I had every right to know, what about our agreement?
Jamie: That changed when you didn't come see me in the hospital and then I walked in on the two of you, I knew who you had chosen so I left.
Sara: I tried to visit you in the hospital, I was there the first day, but they wouldn't let me and Mike in after that first day. After you had that seizure, the doctors told me it would be in the best interest for your life if we didn't come visit again.
Jamie: Think about that day, what exactly happened leading up to my seizure, after you arrived at the hospital.
Sara: Well, I was sitting by your bedside, asking God not to take you from me, then Mike said we had to go, and then you started convulsing. Wait a minute? Are you saying that you hated Mike so much that his voice almost killed you in your coma?
Jamie: No, this is going to be harder than I thought. You just don't get it. What a great CSI you are, can't even see what is right in front of your face.
Sara: What don't I get Jamie, huh?
Jamie: Crystal? Can you take Calleigh into the living room, she's been through enough.
Crystal: Sure, come on Calleigh.
Jamie watched Crystal and Calliegh leave the kitchen, and turned back to face Sara.
Sara: Well tell me what is it, what was it about Mike that you couldn't stand?
Jamie: It wasn't like that, the only problem I had with Mike up until that day was the fact that he was dating you.
Sara: Well then, if you can't be honest with me about why you left me then I'll just leave.
Jamie: Sara, let me explain.
Sara getting angry: Then explain it, I fell apart after you left, I loved you, we going to raise a child together, then you just up and left, how did Mike make you leave me?
Jamie was steaming now: Sara, Mike was the one who attacked me!! Somehow he had found out about us, and told me I had to leave that I was no longer wanted, I didn't believe him because I knew you better than that, and he started attacking me with that friggin baseball bat.
Sara was speechless: I'm so sorry Jamie, but what about Calleigh?
Jamie: The doctors told me after I woke up that by some miracle the baby survived the attack, and I knew that as long as you stayed with him, neither I or the baby would be safe, so I left.
Sara: He left no evidence behind at the crime scene, and before we could get a statement you were gone.
Jamie: Well it's too late now isn't it, he's dead. It's just too late for it.
Sara: But is it too late for us? I've never stopped loving you Jamie, I tried to get in contact with you but your brother and his wife told me that if I really cared about you I would just leave you alone so I did.
Jamie: I don't know, Sara. But what I do know is that I'm not ready to talk about this, it's only been a month since I lost my husband, and I have two children that I have to think about now. I do still love you, I could never get myself to stop, I just need time to think about it.
Sara's phone rang.
Sara: I have to go duty calls. Can we get together for lunch or a drink just to talk?
Jamie: Yeah, I'd like that, we can catch up.
Sara: Bye Jamie.
Jamie: Bye.
Jamie watched Sara leave, and asked herself what she was getting herself into. She made her way into the living room and cleaned Calleigh up, and the two of them went to bed, after saying goodnight to Crystal.
Crystal: Jamie, I'm sorry, I didn't know that Sara was the one that you used to talk about.
Jamie: It's ok Crystal, it was going to happen sooner or later, goodnight.
When Jamie and Calleigh got into bed, Calleigh cuddled up right against her mom, and fell to sleep. Jamie laid there thinking about Sara, and what it would mean to let her back into her life, and into Calleigh and Alex's life. The only thing Jamie was sure about was, she needed to her and her family time to grieve the loss of Paul. But it didn't mean that her and Sara couldn't be friends, right now she needed all of the friends she could get.
