Kind Words From Unexpected People

Greg was sat in the break room waiting for Sara. He'd checked with the receptionist earlier and it turned out she was at a scene, but he was prepared to wait for her. She and Morgan had a right to know what was going on, just like everyone else.

"Hey Greg, what are you doing here?" Nick asked as he entered the break room.

"Hey, I'm waiting for Sara to get back; I need to tell her what's going on."

Nick got a bottle of water out the fridge and offered Greg one. "Oh, she got back about ten minutes ago. I think she's with Hodges right now."

"Oh right, thanks. I'll see you later." Greg said to him with a smile as he got up.

Nick smiled back. "See you man."

Hodges and Sara looked up when there was a tap on the lab glass.

"You guys busy?" Greg asked as he stood in the doorway.

Hodges shook his head. "Greg you should know by now, I'm always busy."

This made both Greg and Sara smile.

"Haha, you're so funny Hodges." Sara told him.

"We're not that busy, why?" She then asked Greg.

Greg walked into Hodges' lab and took a seat so that he was closer to Hodges and Sara who were also sat down.

"I've got some news which I need to tell you." He started off.

This attracted Sara and Hodges' attention. "You're leaving the lab?" Hodges asked. "Because if that's the news then I saw that coming years ago."

Greg laughed. "Surprisingly, no, that's not what I'm going to tell you. Hodges I don't know if you found out about this, I'm guessing you did, but I passed out the other day at a scene and it wasn't to do with the heat like I said it was." He directed the last bit to Sara who frowned and looked at him curious.

"It wasn't the first time I've passed out recently. It had happened before, and I've been getting a lot of headaches too. Then yesterday I had a seizure."

Sara gasped she was so shocked and Hodges raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Russell told me you passed out when I saw you with the medics. I thought it was weird you were on a stretcher." Hodges said to him.

Greg nodded. "Yeah, I think that's what everyone was told."

"Are you okay?" Was all Sara asked, only bothered about his well being.

"Well, yeah and no. The thing I wanted to tell you was that I have a brain tumour. I found out because I had to have a CAT scan." He explained, cutting a long story short.

"Oh my God!" Sara exclaimed. "Is everything going to be okay? Are you going to b okay?" She questioned.

Greg shrugged. "I dunno, hopefully. I printed off some things my doctor gave to me. It all says what's going on, what might happen in the future, all things like that." He said to them and passed two plastic wallets over to them.

"How are you coping?" Sara asked him. She couldn't believe that this was happening.

"Okay I think. But this is only like the first day I've known about it so... that's not much to go on!" He laughed. "I'm not going to lie, I'm anxious about what's more than likely going to happen to me. A bit scared too if I'm honest." He said to them with a small smile.

Sara pulled him into a hug and Greg was thankful he managed to hold it all together. These were the easiest people who he'd had to tell, even though he thought it would have been much harder.

"You're going to be fine. And everything's going to turn out okay. I know we're not as close as you are with everyone else here, but I'm here if you want to talk or anything." Hodges said to Greg, much to his surprise. They had grown closer over the past years, but Hodges knew he wouldn't be the first person Greg would go to if he had any problems.

Greg pulled away from Sara. "Thanks Hodges, I appreciate it."

Hodges smiled and nodded then turned back to his work.

"You know, since I've been so nice you can always help me out here." He said cheekily.

"I knew there was a catch." Greg said with a smile, even though Hodges was facing the other way.

Sara smiled too. "I hope you get better as soon as possible. I know Hodges already offered but I'm here too if you ever want to talk to someone."

"Thanks Sara." Greg said appreciatively. "Hodges I can't help out today, I need to find Morgan, but I'll drop in here tomorrow if I'm free anytime."

Hodges shook his head. "Whatever, I knew you wouldn't help."

Greg got up from his seat and said bye to them both. "See you tomorrow then probably."

"Bye Greg." Sara replied waving to him slightly as he walked away.

Greg went back to the break room where Nick still was.

"Hey man, how'd it go?" Nick asked him.

"Good actually. I only told them about my brain tumour though." Greg answered as he sat down with Nick.

Nick put his arm on the back of the sofa. "Right. Why?"

"I don't want anybody else to know about my other thing. I'm just going to tell Morgan about what I told those two." Greg told Nick.

"Tell Morgan what?" Morgan asked as she strolled into the break room and put her hands on Greg's shoulders.

Greg turned his head around. "You'll find out in a minute." He said to her and turned back around to face Nick. "I might go home after this so I'll see you tomorrow."

Nick nodded. "Alright, see you tomorrow."

Greg led Morgan to the locker room, but Sara was in there.

"Hey guys. Are you two done for the day?" Sara asked them both. She tried to act how she normally would to Greg, but for some reason she found it difficult. He was still the same man she used to know, does know. Yet what he told her had changed something in her.

"Unfortunately no. Greg has something to tell me apparently." Morgan said in reply to Sara.

Sara knew what Greg was going to tell her so decided to make a move. "Right, well I've got to go. Bye." She said and smiled as she walked by Greg and Morgan.

"See ya'." Greg called after her.

Morgan sat down on the bench in the locker room and patted her hands down on her knees. "So, what did you need to tell me?"

Greg sat down next to her. This was going to be hard.

Thanks for reading :) I hope you liked this chapter and I'd like to know, should I write about Greg and Morgan's chat or just sum it up in the next chapter? Thanks.
