A/N: Sorry it has taken me so long to write but I had a health scare last week so it has taken me a while but back on track now. Thanks for being patient. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 21

Sara was feeling very apprehensive about the treatment as she knew it was coming to an end which would mean that she would find out if the cancer was gone once and for all.

The night before the treatment Grissom let Sara bring Luca in with them. She hardly slept and he knew it. He did not need to ask if she was ok as he could tell she was scared so he just held her and Luca.

The next morning Catherine arrived bright and early with her bags and with bags of supplies too.

"Cath, every time you come you do not have to bring Luca a present" said Grissom

"Yes I do" said Catherine.

Sara was just finishing giving Luca his bottle and was really hesitant to go.

"Come on Sara, we need to get going, Catherine can put him to bed" said Grissom

"Ok"

Sara gave Luca to Catherine but not before giving him a big cuddle. She hated this part and both Catherine and Grissom could tell so they both tried to make it as easy as possible for her.

"See you soon baby, remember mommy loves you" said Sara giving him another big kiss.

Once Grissom and Sara arrived at the hospital he could tell she was nervous.

"Sweetheart, it will be okay, I am here with you" he said giving her a big cuddle.

As the drip went in Grissom tried all he could to take Sara's mind off from what was going into her.

"You know what, I think Luca said dadda the other day"

"No he did not he said Mommy" joked Sara.

They both talked about how big he was getting and how much joy they both got from him.

Sara began yawning and nodding off. Grissom let her put her head on his shoulder and fall asleep. She was quickly woken by the nurse who was taking the drip out.

"Sorry love, you are all done now. Take your time" said the nurse

"Ready when you are" said Grissom

Once they got home Sara decided to lie down as she really was not feeling but the best but thought if she would sleep it might then pass.

"Hey, is Luca okay" asked Sara as Grissom tucked her hair behind her ears

"He is sound asleep. You know he looks more and more like you when he sleeps"

"Really? Gil I don't feel the best"

"Okay, lets get you up and go to the bathroom"

As soon as they made it to the bathroom Sara was violently ill. She had already thrown up four times when there was nothing left in her stomach except bile and she could not stop dry reteaching .

Sara then fell back into Grissom and just started crying.

"Hey there, you are ok, lets get you cleaned up"

Grissom got Sara undressed and they both showered although Sara was sick several times during that. He could feel her breaking and was trying to be strong for her even though he was struggling to do it. Once in bed Sara looked at him with pleading eyes

"Gil, this is it, no more I can't stand this anymore".

"I know, but you have one more"

Sara shook her head, "no I am done if you don't listen to me I will get someone who will"

Grissom did not know what to do so he decided that the best thing was probably to agree with her

"okay honey, lets talk about this later. Why don't you try and sleep"

Within 15 minutes she was sound asleep. Grissom decided to leave her sleep and popped out to see how Catherine was going

"How is she" asked Catherine who was playing with Luca while he lay on his stomach as he tried to rollover.

"Not good, but she has finally stopped throwing up. She begged me for this to be the last one"

"Gil she only has one more"

"That is what I said but she told me if I don't then she will speak with someone who will listen to her. I agreed in the end, I now have 3 weeks to try and convince her. It is important for her to finish her treatment"

Catherine just nodded.

Grissom knew that he should try not to push Sara at the moment and just let her rest but he was scared he knew how stubborn she could get and just feared that if she did not go through with the last treatment then she may not beat it.

Grissom walked into the bedroom, he felt like his heart was breaking and just pulled his arms around her and held her. He could feel her crying.

"I am sorry Gil, I am just so tired and the sickness is just so hard"

"I know baby but you have come this far, you have to keep going. You need to keep going for me and Luca"

Sara nodded and sniffed the tears away.

Deep down Sara just did not know what to do. It was only one more treatment but her energy was gone and the sickness was killing her in so many ways but she knew she had to do it for Luca and for Grissom.

"Ok honey, I am sorry" said Sara turning to face him.

They both fell into a deep sleep in each others arms knowing it was only one more treatment until they learned Sara's fate….
