Recovery- Time to Go

Sara lay in bed looking up at all her fellow co-workers around her. It was 10:00 in the morning; they were all here to see her off. It was her departing day.

She smiled at all of them. "I have news to tell you," she spoke with excitement in her voice.

"What?" asked Greg.

"Me and Grissom are getting married. He asked me last night!" she lifted up her sling and showed off what Grissom had wrote.

Everyone looked shocked but Catherine. "I KNEW IT!" she cried.

"What?" everyone turned to her confused.

"Oh, it nothing!" she spoke realizing she had spoke out loud. But she couldn't stop the grin that was creeping over her face. She had been right. Sara did want to marry Grissom.

"So what's the ring look like?" asked Greg. Everyone exchanged looks and burst out laughing.

"Why do you care what the ring looks like Greg?" asked Warrick, trying to hold back his laughter.

"Well, I just heard girls really care about that sort of thing and I wonder what ring Grissom would pick out, a lady bug shaped diamond," spoke Greg trying to explain himself.

"Well, I haven't even seen the ring yet, so I don't know," shrugged Sara.

"But there is one?" asked Greg.

"Yes, Greg. Gil says that it's at home." Spoke Sara.

"Good!" nodded Greg crossing his arms against his chest.

"Where is Grissom anyways?" asked Warrick.

"Oh he is at the desk, filling out papers," just as Sara spoke these words, the door opened and Grissom stepped in.

Sara looked up at him as he came over towards her, "You're done?" she asked.

"Yep, just finished," replied Grissom. He looked up at everyone to find them all grinning at him. "What did I miss?"

"Oh, I was just telling them about the good news," she flashed him a grin.

"Oh? OH!" nodded Grissom, realizing what Sara was talking about.

All the men were rushed out into the hall as Catherine and the nurse helped Sara change from her hospital gown to sweats and a sweat shirt.

"Congratulations my man!" spoke Warrick as he clapped a hand over Grissom shoulder.

"Thanks Rick!"

"Yah, I really happy for you and Sara too!" spoke Nick smiling at Grissom.

"Thanks Nicky!"

Brass and Greg also congratulated Grissom on his engagement. Just then the room door opened and Catherine and the nurse stepped out. "Miss. Sidle is ready to go now," spoke the nurse. "I will just go get a wheel chair and then you may leave."

"Thank you, "spoke Grissom to the nurse. Who name was Marie. She had clear blue eyes and black hair pulled back in a messy bun. She was around her last twenties it seemed. She was wearing pale yellow scrubs with a long sleeve blue t-shirt under.

Marie smiled at Grissom, before excusing herself and walking down the hall. Greg eyes followed Marie as she walked down the hall and turned the corner.

Both Warrick and Nick laughed at this. "Dude, she is so out of your league!" spoke Nick.

"Oh do I smell a challenge Nicky my boy? Do you really want to compete against the Greggo here?" asked Greg pointed to his chest.

"What?" asked Nick confused.

"I bet you Marie will choose you over me! $50?"

"Deal !"

"Deal !"

Both men shook hands.

Grissom and Brass just shook their heads.

They all stepped back in the room; Sara lay there on the bed waiting to leave. She was wearing a zip up navy blue hoodie with a pair of gray jogging pants. The jogging pants covered both of her legs.

Soon Marie returned with a wheel chair. Both Greg and Nick eyed each other evilly.

Once Sara saw the chair she began to protest, "I don't need that, I can walk!"

"Are you crazy, you have a broken leg!" spoke Catherine.

"So I have crutches," Sara argued back.

"Miss. Sidle, even if you didn't have a broken leg, you would still have to ride in a wheel chair, it is a hospital policy. Also you are suffering from a fractured pelvis," spoke Marie clearly.

"Okay," said Sara rolling her eyes.

Grissom laughed at this.

Grissom, Nick, Warrick and Nurse Marie move Sara from the bed to the wheel chair.

"Shall we go my dear?" asked Grissom teasing Sara.

Sara just grunted and crossed her arms over her chest. Grissom smiled and leaned over from the back of the chair and kissed Sara on the cheek.

"Time to go!" spoke Brass clapping his hand together. Catherine held open the door as Grissom wheeled Sara out of the room, who was followed by Catherine, Brass and Warrick.

Greg and Nick were about to leave too, when they noticed that Nurse Marie was staying behind, making Sara's bed.

Greg looked over at Nick sharply. He then turned his attention back to Marie. "Let me help you!" spoke Greg running up beside the bed and taking the sheets from her hands.

She looked up at Greg confused. He smiled at her, "It's Marie right?" asked Greg.

"Yes," nodded Marie.

"Such a pretty name," spoke Greg as he started to tuck the sheets into the side of the bed.

"Thanks you, I was named after my grandma."

"Really, mine too!" spoke Greg. He glanced over at Nick and stuck his tongue out at him.

Nick looked pissed.

"Shouldn't be going with your friend?" asked Marie realizing that everyone else had left.

"Yes we should be going Marie, Greg lets go!" spoke Nick firmly. He wasn't going to lose a bet to Greg.

"It was nice meeting you Marie, "spoke Greg as he made his way over towards the door.

Just as Greg opened his mouth to say more he was cut off.

"Marie, I'm Nick and I was wondering would you like to get a cup of coffee sometime?" asked Nick holding out his hand to Marie.

Marie looked shocked by this gesture. She looked up from Nick hand to his face. He flashed her his famous grin. She smiled at this and turned her head at her embarrassment. This did not stop Nick from noticing the red in her cheeks.

She then turned her face back to Nick. She shook his hand, "It's nice to meet you Nick, and coffee sounds lovely."

Greg shot Nick a look. He was pissed he had just lost a date and also 50 bucks.

Nick and Marie exchanged phone numbers and agreed to meet up the next day at noon.

Greg made his way back to the group who were walking down the hallway. "What's up with you?" asked Brass noticing that he didn't look to happy.

"Nick won the bet!" snapped Greg.

"Oh she turned you down," spoke Catherine.

"No, I was about to ask her, when Nick cut me off. He used his grin on her." Spat Greg.

"Well if he used the grin then you really had no chance," said Catherine.

Sara nodded in agreement.

"SARA!" yelled both Greg and Grissom.

"What, that grin is liking saying no to puppies. It caves you in." explained Sara looking up a Grissom.

"Well, then it should be illegal then because it's unfair," snapped Greg again.

"Can we just drop this and head to the car," this time it was Warrick who spoke. He was tried of Greg's complaining.

Greg grunted and they all took this as a yes.

Nick finally caught up with them and they all got in their cars and headed towards Sara and Grissom's house.

Grissom and Sara were the first one's home.

Sara waited in the back seat as Grissom got out her wheel chair; the hospital was letting her borrow until she recovered.

As Grissom opened up the truck of the SUV and pulled out the wheel chair, Sara yelled, "Gil I understood why I needed it at the hospital but not here. I fine."

Grissom shut the back and came around the side and opened up the door. He smiled at Sara who was sitting side ways with her legs up on the bench. "Because I am in charge of you now and I say so," spoke Grissom.

Sara just rolled her eyes. Grissom then climbed into the SUV and picked Sara up. He slowly climbed out and placed her in the wheel chair.

Just as Grissom stood up Sara reached out and grabbed his face. She pulled him towards her and kissed him. Grissom kissed her back.

They had forgotten where they were until another car pulled up to the house and Catherine and Warrick got out.

"Hey, get a room," yelled out Warrick as him and Catherine made their way over to them.

Grissom and Sara broke apart. Sara blushed and Grissom stood up and grunted. They were clearly embarrassed. Warrick laughed at this.

"So are we the first one's here?" asked Catherine looking around to see if any other cars had pulled up.

"Looks like it," spoke Grissom. "No wait, here comes Brass I think," spoke Grissom pointing at something in the distance.

Soon enough, Brass pulled up to the front of the house and got out. Waved and smiled at the foursome as he walked across the lawn over to them.

A round of Hi's was exchanged.

"Where's Nick and Greg?" asked Brass.

"Not here yet," spoke Sara.

"Should we wait for them out her or just go in?" asked Grissom.

"I say we go in, it's getting cold out here," spoke Sara pulling the hoodie around her tighter.

Grissom kissed the top of Sara head and began to wheel her to the door.

He came to a stop when they reached the front porch.

"Warrick can you help me move Sara up the steps please," called out Grissom.

"Sure boss, no problem!" replied Warrick as he came up to Grissom.

He walked around to the front of the wheelchair and grabbed it by the wheels. "You ready?" asked Warrick looking at Grissom.

Grissom nodded.

On the count of three, Sara was lifted in the air and carried up the steps. Once Sara was safely placed on the front porch, Grissom opened the front door and wheeled Sara in.

Bruno came running at sound of voices. He barked excitedly when he saw Sara, he ran up and placed to paws on her thighs. He began to lick her bruised face. Sara laughed at this but then let out a moan of pain. "Bruno down boy down," cried Grissom. Bruno got down and moved his way over to greet Brass and Catherine. They both patted the dog.

After 5 minutes of greeting Bruno, they moved into the living room. Grissom wheeled Sara round to the side of one of the love seat. Catherine and Brass made themselves comfortable on the couch as Grissom and Warrick helped move Sara on to the love seat. Sara thanked the two men. Warrick smiled at her as he got up and went over and sat across from her on the other love seat.

As Grissom disappeared into the kitchen, there was a knock at the door.

"Looks like Nick and Greg made it," spoke Warrick glancing out to the window.

"Well, it's my house and I should get it but I'm kind of stuck here," spoke Sara gesturing to her legs.

"I will get it," spoke Brass rising to his feet.

As Brass opened the door, Bruno came running full speed from the kitchen.

"Hey there boy," spoke Nick rubbing Bruno under the chin. Greg was next to be greeted by Bruno.

A few moments later all three men appeared in the living room. "So this is you house," spoke Nick, looking around the room. "Yep," replied Sara.

"Where Grissom?" asked Greg taking a seat next to Catherine.

"He's in the kitchen," said Sara.

All six sat in silence until Grissom appeared carry a tray of beverages.

"I didn't know what ever one wanted, so there is soda, beer and water. And I just put on a pot of coffee," explained Grissom as he put the tray down on the coffee table.

"Beer? Really Gil it's only 11:00?" asked Catherine raising an eyebrow.

"Well, there was only a few left in the fridge, so I through them in," spoke Grissom.

Both Warrick and Greg grabbed Sodas, Catherine water and Nick and Brass asked for coffee.

As Grissom headed back into the kitchen to get Nick and Brass there coffee's he called over his shoulder, "Sara what do you want?"

"Tea please," called Sara.


I know it's a bad ending but I didn't want it to be too long.
