Chapter 26 – Discharge

The doctor was pleased with Aaron's progress through the night, he was allowed to go home. Gil had signed the relevant paperwork and he was ready.

Gil knelt down coming to eye level with Aaron.

"Before we go, I need to tell you what happened to the bad man and your mother."

"Ok."

"Well, the bad man is dead and your mother was involved in a cave-in. She is in a coma. Do you want to see her before we go home?"

Aaron nodded. Gil took him to the ICU to see his mum. Grissom had told him not to be scared of what he saw; the machines and wires were helping her.

They had ended up staying for 3 hours; it was time to go home.

Aaron gave Sara a kiss and put his Teddy Bear next to her.

"He will keep you safe mummy."

Grissom picked Aaron up and carried him to the car. They left to go home.

On the way home Gil had taken Aaron shopping, to redecorate one of the guest room for him. He had also called Catherine to meet them, to go clothes shopping. He didn't need to ask her twice.
