OK, I got a lot of reviews the last chapter! Thanks! I'm not sure if I was really clear at the end of the last chapter. What was happening in Sara's room and in the waiting room were the same. After Gil flew out with the doctor when Sara woke up, the team returned. They still don't know that Sara woke up, and think that she's still unconscious. I hope that clears things up!
I realllly wish I owned CSI, but it belongs to CBS. That'd be a great birthday present…
………………………………………………………………...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...
It occurred to Gil, after Sara had fallen back asleep, that the team was probably freaking out. They hadn't seen him leave, although Catherine had filled them in. He decided to go out and talk to them. They were probably mad at him, if not worried sick. He gave Sara a small kiss on the cheek, stood, and left.
He stepped into the waiting room and was attacked by a furious, worried Greg. He had been sitting there, wondering if that idiot who had run into Sara would be charged with anything. He was worried that Sara had sunk deeper into her coma, and would be there for awhile. When Gil stepped out, they all looked up, but Greg literally threw himself at Grissom, wanting news.
"Sara is out of the coma, but she is asleep right now. The doctor is still worried about her amnesia. She has a seemingly good grip on the last few years, as she knows me. She also recognizes that she is in the hospital, and relapsed. She is up to speed with what has been happening. She heard all of you while she was unconscious, and she thanks everyone for their support. It means a lot to her. She is sore, and her leg is getting complicated. It was fractured in three places, and it is not healing in the worst break. It is being set again, and she's in a lot of pain. We can go see her whenever she is awake.
There is also something else that I need to tell you. It may or may not be very obvious, but Sara and I have been together for, I guess three months now. We have moved her stuff into my townhouse, but we still have her apartment. We even have a boxer. His name is Hank. I love her, and she loves me. She loved me enough that she waited while I messed around, trying to find out what I felt about my love for her. I though you ought to know, as we will have to sort this out with Ecklie. One of us may end up switching shifts, or we may just have Catherine act as Sara's supervisor. It depends. I just wanted you to know. I am going back to her. I'll come get you when she wakes up."
They all looked relieved at the news that Sara would be alright. Greg looked most relieved of all, though Brass, Nick, Cath, and Warrick looked just as happy. Nick took Greg and Brass to go get coffee. Warrick and Catherine sat down. They silently agreed that they needed to talk.
"Cath, we need to do something about us. They've been together a shorter time, and we can work it out. I promise. We just gotta tell them."
"I agree 'Rick, but how? We have to focus on Sara now. Maybe when this is all over."
"You're right Cath, but we have to face it sometime."
"Come find me in a moth…"
Just then, Grissom walked in, followed by the other guys. He announced that Sara wanted to see them. She needed rest, so they could only be there for 15 minutes, but it would be 15 minutes that they hadn't had two days ago. He led them to Sara's private room.
Gil walked in first, gently announcing that Sara's fan club had arrived, and he didn't know why on earth the hospital had let in a bunch like this one. He received many dirty looks, but Sara smiled. She was looking forward to seeing them again. She vaguely remembered their visits while she had been in the coma. They were so supportive.
They all come over and hugged her gently. They told her how much she was missed, and that she needed to get well soon. Someone had produced a bouquet of flowers much like the one that Gil had dropped in the hallway. Only this time, it was from all of them, and there was also a balloon. She was overjoyed, and motioned for Gil to put them in the extra pitcher of water.
After the team left, some with errands, but some just wanting sleep; Sara told Gil that she wanted to talk to him.
"Did I ever explain my childhood to you?" Sara asked.
"Some. Why?" Gil asked. He was a little afraid of what would happen when this went further.
"I can't remember anything! There is a HUGE blank where my childhood memories are. Just tell me who I am Gil. Who I was before I was Sara Sidle, CSI for the LVPD. I don't remember anything since four years ago. Why did I come here? Where did I come from? Where is my family?" The questions poured out.
Thinking fast, all Grissom said was, "all that matters now is that you are safe. Right here, right now. We can revisit the past later."
And all he could think about after that was how on earth he was going to reveal to his girlfriend the horrors that lurked in her past.

OK, mini cliffhanger. You know that Sara's ok, and that's all that matters now, right? I know, I know. I'll update soon, I promise. If I don't, message me. It's a crazy week, so don't expect anything until Thurs. to Mon. Review, please!
