Chapter 9
Sara sat in her car as she looked over at the crime scene. One dead male. His wife and baby were crying. Sara watched as the police officers spoke to the wife and the EMT's looked after the baby. She could see Robin processing the scene with Tom from her car.
She couldn't stop thinking about what Kate had said on the way to school. It hurt too much to think about it, but her words still clung to the air.
'Is dad leaving?'
'Why would dad leave honey?'
'Shannon's dad left when her mum and dad weren't talking anymore.'
'We are talking. What made you think we weren't?'
"I saw dad's face when he was reading. He wasn't reading at all. He was thinking and he looked upset, worried.'
'I'll talk to him sweetheart. I promise.'
'I don't mean to talk about him, but I'm worried. I don't want to loose you both like Shannon lost her dad.'
Kate had cried that morning and Sara held her. This was hurting more than she wanted. It wasn't suppose to be like this. What happened to make Jake hurt her all those years ago and why did he have to push her away?
Sara stopped the thoughts for a moment as she climbed out of the car and grabbed her kit. If she knew Jake was so abusive, she wouldn't have married him. Why did that have to change. He was so sweet when they first met. They dated for a year and a half. What happened to all the good times. It all started slow. There was one slap, but nothing happened for a year and then he hit her. It got worse the longer they were married. Sara still couldn't completely understand why Jake had wanted to hurt her.
Then Grissom helped her. She'd been so distant from him the first few years of her marriage. She couldn't be around him for long periods of time. Jake would know and he would get jealous. He didn't like it that her best friend was her boss or that he was male. Jake always watched her closely if she went out with male members from the lab and if he didn't like them, he would let her know.
The first time Grissom noticed the bruises was when Jake. Grissom promised to protect her, but she didn't let him. It was her love for Jake that stopped him from taking her to some place safe or give the evidence to him to put Jake in prison. Sara didn't know what Grissom wanted all those years before she met Jake. It only seemed to get clearer when she met Jake.
She didn't realise just how much he cared for her and that made it more difficult to let him see her hurt. She would cover the bruises and hide her tiredness the best she could. Sara thought that Jake would be happy when Kate was born and he was. All the way through the pregnancy, he looked after her and loved her like he'd did before he first hit her. She missed his soft and gently side.
Then the gang saw Kate. They adored her and Jake started getting jealous and turned back into his old self. He was particularly angry with Grissom. She never understood why until Jake explained it to her with his fists. He told her that the looks he saw Grissom give her were meant for those who were more than just friends. It enraged Jake to know Sara held Grissom's heart and she played like she didn't know and in fact, she didn't. at first.
She knew he care for her as a best friend, but she didn't know just how much he cared for her until she saw him hold Kate for the first time. Jake had forced and threatened her to never let him near their child, but she couldn't keep Kate from him. He was her best friend. It was something she wanted to share so much. They had met by off chance, at the park one day before work. Sara left the house to take Kate to nursery and when she walked through the park to get there, she saw Grissom sitting on a bench.
