Warrick sat with lynsey, "It'll be ok..." He told her.

Greg watched Warrick and looked at Jan, "How you holding up sis?"

"I'm ok...." Jan said softly. She smiled at Greg and scooted over to him, taking a breath and resting her head on his shoulder.

"So... I guess your not gonna stay in Vegas then?" He asked.

Jan shook her head. "I doubt it... I'll probably head back home as soon as i get out of here and pack up my things...."

Warrick looked up at this point, his smile faded, and he looked back at Lynsey.

"He'll miss you... alot!" Greg said nodding to Warrick. "And he won't be the only one!" Greg smiled.

Jan smiled. "I know... but... I mean..." Jan looked for an excuse to leave Las Vegas, but couldn't find one. "I just don't think I can stay here...."

"I understand sis... I mean... you know after.... I just understand." Greg said as Lynsey walked over.

"Uncle Greg... I want to see my mom and dad... I miss them..." She sighed.



Gil walked into the waiting room with Cath and walked over to the group.

"DAD!" Lynsey shouted running to Gil.

Catherine raised her eyebrow, she looked at Gil and mouthed 'Dad?' to him.

Gil smiled at Cath and at Lynsey. "Hey Hunny..." He said, picking up the small girl.

"Mommy!!" She wrigled out of Gil's grasp and ran to Catherine.

Jan looked up at the three and smiled at them. "So what happened?"

"Hey you... I love you," She kissed Lynsey's forehead and hugging her tightly.



Before anyone could answer the doctor walked out. "Stokes family and Sidle family?"

Gil turned to face the doctor. "Yes... that's us.."

"I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Mr. Stokes is going to be fine, he needs to rest the shoulder..."

"Wait.... what about Sara!? Is she ok?!" Gil reached for Cath's hand.

"Miss. Sidle she... she's going to be fine... but..." The doctor looked at the group, she saw Nick wheeled out in a wheelchair to see them.

Gil looked at Nick and back at the doctor. "Go on.... What is it?"

"Sara was shot in the stomach... Her womb was damaged... this lowers her chances of being able to have a baby in the future... I just thought as her brother I should let you know... you can tell her or I can..." The doctor finished.

Nick looked up at the doctor and frowned. He was glad Sara was ok, but hearing the news about the chances of having kids in the future being lowered was hard to hear.

Catherine gasped and looked at Gil, Lynsey and Nick... "We'll tell her thank you..."

Gil looked down at the ground and back up at Cath. He sighed heavily and glanced at Nick while he thanked the doctor. "When can we see her?"

"She's awake now... Only two at a time please, we need her to rest."

Nick looked up at Gil. "Why don't you and Cath go in and see her first." He said softly, leaning back in the wheelchair.

"Nick... Are you sure?" Catherine asked.

"Yea... I'm sure...." Nick smiled a little and nodded. "I'll go in after you guys..."

Catherine nodded and took Gil's hand, "You should tell her."

"I'll try...." Gil said softly and headed into Sara's room.

Nick looked back at the rest of the people in the waiting room and then glanced back at the hallway that led to Sara's room.





Sara lay in bed, she looked about smiling as she saw Catherine. "Nick."

"He's still out in the waiting room... He'll be in after..." Gil said half-smiling at his sister.

"What?" Sara asked still drowsy from the drugs.

"Sara... " Gil said grabbing a chair and pulling it next to the bed. He took Sara's hand in his. "Honey, I need to tell you something ok?"

Sara nodded. Catherine sat on the bed and held Sara's hand.

"Sara.... when you were shot... your, uh, womb was damaged.... and, uh, well the doctor said that this lowers your chance of being able to have a baby in the future.... I'm sorry...." Gil said softly, he looked sadly at Sara, lightly squeezing her hand.

Sara just stared at Gil, "No... your wrong... me and Nick... we.. we... we're gonna have three kids.... no.." Tears ran down her face, "That's why Nick didn't come in..."

"Sara... I'm so sorry...." Gil said, wiping away a tear with his thumb. "There's still a chance, but a slim one.... If I could change it I would..."

"Leave... I want to be alone.."

"What about Nick? Do you want him to come in?" Catherine looked at Sara, she wiped her eyes.

"He doesn't want me anymore... I.." Sara started to cry again.

"You're wrong.... Sara.... he loves you, and this won't change it..."

Catherine looked at Gil, "We'll tell him to come in..."

Gil nodded and walked out of the room sadly.



He walked over to Nick. "Sara... she thinks you won't want her anymore... go in an talk to her...." Gil said placing a hand on his shoulder.

Nick nodded and asked the nurse to push him in the room. Sara looked out the window crying. Nick was wheeled into the room and left next to Sara's bedside. "Sara?"

"N..Nick?"

"I thought... you... ohh God do you even know?" Sara started to cry again. She hated being hooked into the machines and drips around her.

"Yes... I know Sara... " Nick sighed. "Gil told me what you said,.... How could you think that this would change how I feel for you.... Sara I love you... no matter what..."

"But, the kids, the pool, everything else..."

"Sara... none of that matters... as long as I have you, that's all I'll need." Nick reached for Sara's hand.

Sara watched his hand.

"Sara...."

"Nick... I love you... but I can't give you what you want." Sara sobbed.

"I want you.... can you give me that?"

"I don't know..."

"Why not Sara?? tell me that... "

"I don't know... I just... Nick are you sure..."

Nick frowned at her. "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't...."

She took his hand.

Nick smiled at her. "I love you..."

"I love you too Nick.."

Nick leaned out of the wheelchair and gave her a small kiss. "Well I guess i'll let Jan and the others have a turn visiting you... talk to you later." Nick smiled and called for the nurse.

"Nick..."

"Yea?"

"Stay..." Sara asked as she yawned.

"ok..." Nick said, taking hold of Sara's hand again and sitting next to the bed.

"Sleepy..." Sara said smiling as something on the chair caught her eye, "Strokes." She smiled.

Nick gave the plush toy to her. "Rest now..." He said quietly.
