Chapter 5
"Train station alright." She said before even waking fully. Grissom stirred and smiled at her remark. He turned opening his eyes to Nick, Warrick and Catherine shaking their heads.
"Glad to see your awake Sara." Nick said walking to her.
"Sleepy, go away."
Nick grinned. "Well, I wouldn't want to wake up next to you in the morning." He said playfully and kissed her cheek.
"Normally I'd beat you for that, but I can't move." She opened her eye slowly and squinted at the room light. "Owww." Was her response to the intrusion.
Catherine turned down the adjustable light and sat on Grissom's bed. "You ok?" He nodded and yawned. "I'll try not to be offended." Grissom chuckled and shook his head.
"Don't make him laugh, doctors orders." Sara said squeezing his hand. Grissom looked at their hands and smiled. He looked at Catherine and indicated the glass of water with his other hand. She handed it to Nick and he helped Sara as she sipped the water and finished it.
"Thirsty?" Warrick asked with a laugh.
Sara smiled with a nod. "Haven't drank in days." Everyone laughed even Grissom, which stopped by him gasping for a breath. "I told you." She told him sternly.
He gasped another breath and pressed her call button. The nurse came in and sat him up quickly. The others watched helplessly as he tried to control his breathing.
Sara's hand tightened around his in desperation for him to be all right. The nurse did what she could and waited. She couldn't do anything until he calmed down and when he did she chastised him. "No excitement, How many times do I have to tell you, god you're as bad as my kid." He started to breathe normally and grinned. She sighed and left.
Warrick and Nick controlled their laughter and sat on Sara's bed, which didn't go too well with her. She smiled but sternly told them to get off. "Hey, don't make yourselves at home. Move off my uncomfortable bed guys." They stood and leaned against the wall.
Catherine grinned at Sara who grinned back. "Don't like sharing your bed Sara?"
"Not with them two." She turned to the two giggling. "No offence guys."
"None taken." Nick assured.
"Yeah, only a brave man would attempt that Sara." Warrick winked at her before looking at Grissom who had his eyes closed throughout the whole conversation.
"Let's go guys, let them rest." Catherine suggested noticing Grissom's lack of communication and tense shoulders.
"Ok, See you later Sara." Warrick kissed her and waited for the others to say their goodbyes.
The door closed and Sara turned to Grissom. "Your quiet, someone say something wrong?"
He shook his head and looked at her for a minute before closing his eyes again. "Just tired." He half lied, he was tired, but didn't want to talk about what made him stop listening.
"I'm tired too, all these drugs are good though." They both smiled at each other before falling into their own restless dreams.
The nightmares that they both dreamt were nasty and painfully to watch over and over. The crash was horrific as they looked at themselves and what they have to deal with once they left the hospital, but both knew they wouldn't be rid of the antiseptic walls and floors of this hospital for a while and it didn't appease them one bit. Grissom's dream added new images of things to come and he heard the questions that hadn't been asked, not just by him but Sara, She didn't ask about her eye or her legs, she could see his concern and saw hers mirrored in his eyes. They both had a lot of healing to do before anything was going to resemble normal again.
