Here's the next chapter. Thanks to all who have read and reviewed it! This or the next one might be the last one(s) for about a week as I am going camping and will have no access to a computer. But look for more on the 24 of June for the next chapter(s). Enjoy!

Chapter Four

Sara stepped closer to the bed and asked him a third and final time. "GRISSOM, do you want me to get the doctor?" Grissom focused on her lips. The close proximity made it easier for him to concentrate. He understood! He nodded yes. Sara wasted no time and ran into the hall and grabbed an available doctor and brought him back to Grissom. Grissom chuckled when he saw the way Sara was dragging this young doctor by the arm into the room. "She is so stubborn sometimes." He thought.

The doctor pulled his arm away from Sara and then Sara realized how ridiculous she must look. She dropped her hands to her side and blushed slightly. The young doctor uneasily talked to her. "Excuse me Miss, but I am not a doctor yet and even if I was, I know very little about your husband's case. I am sure that I can find your husband's doctor and he can help you." Sara was too embarrassed at the scene she was making to reply more than "He is not my husband." The young man left with promises to find Grissom's doctor and have him come right away. Sara nodded and looked over at Grissom. He was crying. She realized after she sat down next to him that he was still laughing. She wanted to ask him what he was laughing at but didn't know how. She scanned the room and saw a clipboard with a pencil attached. She grabbed that and some paper that was nearby and wrote in her clear handwriting: What are you laughing at? Grissom smiled as he reached over and grabbed the clipboard. He wrote back: You. Upon reading this, Sara smiled her wide smile. Grissom was about to write something back when they both were interrupted by the sound of a door opening. They both looked up and saw Grissom's doctor. He entered the room and looked at Grissom's medical charts and his heart monitor. He then turned to Grissom and Sara and said, "Everything looks really good here. Your heart rate is very steady and you seem to be responding well to the pain medication we have you on. I will have a nurse come look at your stitches in about a half hour if you both can just hang tight…"

Sara interrupted him, "Didn't the intern tell you? Grissom can't hear me. That can't be normal."

The doctor walked over to the counter in the room and washed his hands. He took a look at Grissom's ear. He then signed something to Grissom that Sara didn't understand. He then explain to Sara that he was going to perform some simple tests that would help him evaluate how effective the surgery had been. "I think it would be wise if you waited outside while I do this so that he is not distracted." Sara nodded and wrote on the clipboard again. "I'll be right back." Grissom nodded and as she stood up to leave, he grabbed her hand, squeezing it slightly as if to say, "Don't go that far." Sara nodded and wrote again. "I'm not going anywhere."
