Thanks for the reviews. It was interesting to read your ideas on who you thought had been shot. Well you don't need to guess anymore. Here it is.

I just want to apologize for how long it has taken me to update, life has been a royal pain in the ass at the moment and finding the time to write has never been seen to me in ages. Hopefully, things have calmed down a little bit, so I should be able to find the time to update more regularly again.

Disclaimer: Still not mine if you've seen them on CSI.

Chapter 6

When Sara had seen Alice turn and point the gun towards her she had closed her eyes, not wanting to watch as the trigger was pulled, ultimately ending her life and that of her unborn baby, however when she had heard the bang, felt no pain, well no more than what she already was, followed by a thud, she had opened them.

Don lay on the floor, his blood slowly pooling around him. She quickly turned her attention elsewhere as Alice began wailing. The sound of the gun hitting the floor as she dropped it seemed to echo around her head.

It seemed to move like slow motion as Brass lunged forward at Alice, quickly turning and cuffing her, before marching her out, reading her rights to her. Then, suddenly, Grissom was next to her, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close to him. As she finally realized what was happening she quickly wrapped her arms around him.

"Grissom…" she said, her voice barely audible. She said his name like she still needed some proof he was actually there and she wasn't just imagining him being there.

"I'm here now, Sara." he said as he sat back and held her face in his hands. He pressed his forehead against hers as he sighed, relieved.

Sara wanted nothing more than to pull his face closer so that his lips touched hers, but pain ripped through her body, causing her to cry out in agony.

Grissom quickly moved back. He placed his hands on her stomach. Sara's hands were already there. "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner, I was scared…" she began before crying out as more pain hit her.

Grissom quickly grabbed her hand and pulled it up to his lips. He kissed it before holding it against his face. "I couldn't be happier about this Sara. I'm just so sorry you've had to go through this alone." he confessed as tears stung his eyes.

Sara began sobbing, she couldn't help it. "I think there's something wrong with the baby. I'm bleeding. I tried to get out the window and I fell. I think I hurt the baby. What type of mother does that make me?"

"One who was trying to escape to save her baby," Catherine said as she sat on the bed.

"My waters broke. The baby's coming now. I don't want to have it here." Sara cried.

"I know honey," Catherine said as she placed her hand on Sara's knee, "But Sara, I don't think you're gonna have much of a choice."

"No, please not here, not in this house, please." Sara begged.

"We need to get her down to the ambulance." Catherine said to no one in particular.

Taking charge, Nick ran over to Sara, carefully as he could he scooped her up in his arms.

Nick carried Sara straight out to the ambulance where the medics were getting ready to go into the house.

"She's about to have a baby!" Nick yelled ahead to them.

Quickly one of them jumped back in and began preparing things. The other helped Nick to load Sara into the back of the ambulance. Nick quickly jumped out as Grissom climbed in. The medic slammed the door shut and ran round to the front.

"Come on lets follow them." Warrick said.

The others all quickly ran and piled into one car, before speeding off after the ambulance that was already making its way to the nearest hospital.

Sara gripped Grissom's hands as another contraction came. "God, I need to push."

"No, not yet Sara!" the medic warned her.

Grissom tightened his grip on her hand. She looked up at him. "What if I've hurt the baby, Grissom? I should never have tried to escape. I should have listened to you when you told me to wait in the airport, then none of this may have happened."

"You couldn't have known any of this was going to happen." Grissom said sensitively to her.

"I can't help thinking I'm already failing at being a mother. If you guys hadn't have found me, they would have took the baby. God knows what they would have done to it."

"That doesn't matter anymore. You're safe now and we're gonna meet our baby really soon. I promise you it will be fine. You'll see. You're gonna make a perfect mother Sara. No one could care more about this baby than you."

Sara smiled at him even as her tears continued to roll down her cheeks. Grissom shuffled closer to her and she rested her head against his chest, loving the feel of his body against hers. She was still scared to death but having Grissom there with her made things a little better. Now she just prayed the baby would be okay.

With the ambulance speeding the whole way and the guys following right behind, it hadn't taken them long to arrive at St Mary's hospital. Whilst the others made their way up to the delivery suite, Sara was already inside, moments away from giving birth.

Grissom stood by her, holding her hand and lovingly brushing her hair back off her face.

"Okay Sara, I need a big push!" The nurse told her.

Sara just shook her head, "I don't feel right, Gil." she said sounding utterly exhausted.

"Sara, come on." The nurse told her sternly.

Ignoring the strange feeling she had she pushed as hard and as long as she could. Ignoring every ounce of pain her body felt she waited for the next time the nurse told her to push then once more pushed as hard and for as long as she could.

"Good girl Sara, the heads out, big push now for the shoulders."

After tightening her grip on Grissom's hand she pushed again. After a moments struggle the shoulders passed, with one last push the baby was born, filling the room with cries.

Grissom's face beamed as he looked on as the nurse quickly placed the baby down on Sara's stomach. Sara, using every bit of energy she could, lifted her hand up to stroke the baby's head.

"Congratulations, you have a son." The nurse said with a smile.

Grissom couldn't fight the urge any longer, he kissed Sara before stroking his sons tiny head. "He's perfect isn't he?" he said to Sara.

He didn't get a reply, he looked at her in time to she her eyes shut. "Sara? Sara, honey, look at me, Sara say something."

"We've got bleeding!" the nurse suddenly shouted, "Get a heart monitor set up stat. Get bloods set up now, we have to control this bleeding!"

Grissom looked to the floor where Sara's blood was quickly forming a pool. "Is she okay?" he asked.

Without getting a reply he was shoved back, another nurse took the baby and passed it to Grissom before quickly turning back to help the others.

"What's happening to her? What's wrong?" Grissom asked frantically.

Again without getting a reply, he was led out of the room by a male nurse, he wanted to fight against him but as his new born son began crying he quickly looked down at him before then holding him against his chest, holding him tight like he might somehow lose him if he didn't.

"Grissom, what's going on?" Catherine asked.

He had been so worried he hadn't even seen her and the others come over to him. Their voices were all muffled to him as they spoke but he knew what they would be asking. "I'm losing her," he said over his sons crying.

The others all just stared at him, not understanding what was happening. They were all left silent, the only sounds coming from the tiny boy in Grissom's arms and the life saving efforts of the nurses inside the delivery suite...
