Meanwhile…
When Laura reached her brothers house she pulled into his drive way and ran up to his front door and rang the door bell. A few minutes later Laura saw her brother open the door.
"Hey Jim, I need you to come back to my place with me," Laura said all in one breath.
"What's wrong, is it the kids?" Jim asked his sister.
"It's John, I don't know what's gotten into him he's been drinking a lot lately, and he's scaring the younger kids." Laura answered her brother.
"Okay, come on we'll take your vehicle," Jim said as he and Laura ran towards the vehicle and sped off back to Laura's place to get the kids.
As they neared the house, they saw police cars outside. Jim sped up a bit more and came to a screeching halt. As soon as the car had stopped both Laura and Jim got out of the car and rushed towards the house.
As soon as they got near the front door they saw John being lead to one of the police cars in hand cuffs. Laura panicked, knowing she nor Jim had called the police, figuring out that something must have happened while she was gone.
Laura tried to enter the house but was stopped by one police officer,
"Excuse me miss you can't go in there." He tried to explain, but Laura was having none of it, she wanted to see if the kids were okay.
"This is my house. My kids are inside I just want to see if they're okay." Laura said frantically, hoping he would let her through.
Seeing the sheer panic on this woman's face, he nodded and let her and Jim into the house. Laura rushed up stairs and saw blood on the wall, with Nick and Greg lying against it. Looking very bruised. She rushed over to them and knelt down.
"Hey are you guys okay, I'm sorry I left you but I panicked when I saw your dad come home. I'm so sorry I left you." Laura said, now crying after seeing what her husband did to their kids.
"It's okay mom, we forgive you." Nick said, quietly as he was feeling weak from battling his dad.
Laura then thought about where Sara was, punishing herself for not thinking about her sooner. Laura looked into Sara's bedroom and gasped. She saw Sara curled in the corner with bruises on her face, sobbing and shaking.
Laura felt even guiltier now for leaving them alone; she soon rushed over to Sara to see if she was okay.
Sara saw her mother approach her and turned more into the wall. She didn't want to be near her mother at the moment because it was her fault that her daddy hit her. "Hey Sara, sweetheart, are you okay?" Laura asked as she touched Sara's shoulder, but Sara flinched and shook it off.
Outside…
The guys were walking to Nick's house to see if he wanted to go out with them, when they saw all the commotion outside. They all ran over to the house and Grissom and Warrick rushed in, with Warrick telling Catherine to wait outside for a second.
They ran up the stairs and they spotted Nick and Greg against the wall. They ran over to see if they were okay. Warrick and Grissom were now standing outside Sara's bedroom and as Sara looked up she saw the back of Grissom.
Thinking that he could protect her like he did last time, knowing Nick was hurt she called out to him.
Grissom turned around, confused as to who called him when he saw Sara in the corner, not letting her mother near.
He slowly walked into the room after checking Warrick was okay to look after Nick and Greg, whilst they heard the paramedics enter the house.
Grissom had just got to the corner where Sara and her mother was, when Sara flung herself at him and hugged him tightly, sobbing into his shoulder.
Laura felt really bad, witnessing Sara go to one of Nick's friends with ease, but not letting her own mother near her.
Grissom was hugging Sara, trying to make her feel safe, looking after her, knowing Nick couldn't right now and not knowing why Sara wouldn't go to her mom. It made his heart break, even though he was only 12 he had to grow up quicker and look after his own mom, because his dad had left when he was young.
"Hey Sara are you okay?" Grissom whispered.
Sara nodded, but held on tighter. She saw the paramedics come into the room and clung to Grissom, not letting go. They tried to get her off him, but she just held on tighter. In the end, they agreed that Grissom would carry her down the stairs to the ambulance because she wouldn't let go of him.
When Grissom put her on the stretcher in the ambulance Sara held onto Grissom's hand and asked him to stay with her and protect her, like he did at the park.
Seeing Nick's little sister so vulnerable twice in one day made him really sad, as he had always had a soft spot for Nick's younger siblings, he agreed and rode with them in the ambulance to the hospital.
Warrick came back out the house and told Catherine he would see her later as he was going to ride to the hospital with Nick. The paramedics let him, seeing as he could calm him down, telling Nick that Sara was alright and that she was with Grissom in safe hands. He also calmed him down saying Greg was fine as well and that he would be looked after in the other ambulance.
Laura just stood there shocked as she watched the 2 ambulances drive off. Greg's ambulance had already gone when she was in Sara's room because he was the one with the most injuries, being thrown against the wall.
She suddenly broke down, feeling so guilty that she left her kids with a monster. Jim caught her before she collapsed to the ground. He steered her in to the passenger seat of the car, got in and sped up to see if he could catch the last 2 ambulances.
"Laura this isn't your fault its John's fault, and the kids will be ok," Jim tried telling his sister. Fifteen minutes later Jim pulled into the hospital parking lot. Once they found a place to park, both Laura, and Jim ran into the hospital and went up to the front desk.
They tell the person at the front desk the kids' names that were brought in by the ambulance. When the doctor walked by he heard the names of the kids' that he was attending and walked up to Laura and Jim.
"Hi my names Dr. Gates, I am working on your kids' if you want to see them I can take you back there now." Dr. Gates said to Laura and Jim.
"Okay well your son Greg has more injuries than the other two. He has a couple of broken ribs and a concussion. Nick has some bruised ribs and some facial bruises, which may be a bit painful to begin with, but they should heal up soon. Sara has some bruises to her stomach and to her face, again painful, but should heal pretty soon." Dr Gates explained.
"Okay, can you tell me when they can come home?" Laura asked.
"Well I would like to keep Sara and Nick overnight for observation, but Greg is going to have to stay in for a couple more days, with the broken ribs, if you come this way I will lead you to their rooms." Dr Gates had just said that his pager went off.
"Okay well looks like I have to be down in surgery but their rooms are 302, 306 and 309. Sorry they couldn't be closer together but we didn't have much room up there." The doctor explained.
"It's no problem doctor, thank you." Laura said, now nervous to see her children as she didn't know what their reaction would be to her. She was also afraid to see them and broke down crying as she thought of what he did to the children, more about what he did to Greg. I can't believe John broke his own son's ribs and gave him concussion. I mean what he did to the other two was bad enough, especially hitting little Sara like that, but to crack his own son's ribs and not care, I don't know who this monster is. Laura thought as she sobbed.
She had to compose herself before they entered the children's rooms; she had to stay strong for them.
