A/N: This is the final chapter of this story, just thought I'll warn ya before ya read on!

Catherine dropped her cell phone as she heard the doctor say, "I'm sorry madam, we've lost him."

Catherine manage to gain control of her brain and ask him, "When? How?"

The doctor sigh before going on, he always hated this part of the job, "He was in recovery room when he heart just gave out… We probably think it was from blood lost or the bullet."

Catherine nodded, feeling tears coming down her cheeks, "Can I see him?"

The doctor nodded and lead her down the hall, after a few turns she saw Greg in the room, with a few nurses around him, still trying to recover him. More tears came out of Catherine's eyes when she saw the nurses back up away from him to reveal the pale Greg.

The nurses looked up at the doctor and Catherine, "He's gone.."

"Can I have a few minutes with him alone, please?" ask Catherine.

The nurses looked at the doctor who gave them a signal to leave the room.

Catherine walked over to Greg's bed and sat down in the chair next to him. She grabbed his hands, and cried.

"I'm so sorry Greg!" she cried out, "This isn't suppose to happen, you're too young. It isn't fair! Why did Hodges have to hate you…I wish I never blew up the lab, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.."

Catherine bowed her head down and started to cry some more.

"It wasn't you Catherine.." a voice said.

Catherine confused looked up and saw Greg eyes opened, tears also falling down his cheeks.

"GREG!" Catherine shouted.

She quickly grabbed him and they hugged.

"Don't do that to me ever again!" she said as they pulled away from each other.

"I won't, just don't let me get in here again!" Greg said, as they both started wiping their eyes.

"I'm going to get a doctor!"

"No more doctors!" Greg moaned which gave Catherine a smile.

She grabbed the nurses and they quickly tended him, and Catherine laugh at Greg's remarks as the nurse took out a needle.

***************

            "So I was right it was Hodge!" Nick exclaimed.

He and Warrick were walking down to the waiting room, the nurses just release Nick as they checked him and after Nick finally convince them to let him go.

"Is Greg still in surgery?" Nick asks, as they approach the waiting room.

"Probably." Warrick answered.

They saw Grissom run in.

"Where's Catherine?" was the first words out of Grissom mouth as he saw them.

"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks for asking." Nick said.

Grissom sighed, "Are you alright Nick?"

"I thought you'd never ask, yeah!"

Grissom rolled his eyes and turned to Warrick, "Did Catherine tell you anything about Greg's condition?"

"Nope, I just got to the waiting a sec ago."

"I heard the doctors over the phone, saying that they lost Greg."

Nick and Warrick widen their eyes, "WHAT!"

"There you guys are!" a voice yelled, they turn to see Sara running towards them, a suitcase in her arm.

"I came here as quick as I can. How's Greg? How's Nick?"

"I'm fine, but-" Nick started.

"We don't know for sure about Greg." Warrick answered.

"Man, is it that bad."

"We might have lost him." Grissom said.

Sara dropped her suitcase and gasps. They saw tears coming out of her eyes, then suddenly the three men felt tears too.

***************

Catherine ran into the waiting room and saw the four CSIs crying. Damn Grissom told them.. Catherine realizes.

She ran up to them, "Guys!"

"How is he?" they all asked at the same time.

"We lost him.." The hopes from their faces fell. Catherine smiled, "But we got him back!"

The four CSIs smiled and cheered, "YAH!" they shouted.

Catherine smiled, "Greg's been wondering when you guys will visit him!"

The four CSIs smiled as they followed Catherine to his room. They stood in the doorway as they heard the nurse telling him, "We'll be back in a hour to give you your shot!"

"Why don't you run me through a sewing machine!" Greg remarked.

The nurse stopped and gave a that might be a good idea look then smiled and walked out of the room.

Greg glances up to see the 5 CSIs standing in the doorway staring at him.

"What I got a boogie?" Greg asked.

"Now there's the Greg I remembered!" Sara said, and they all went in the room, smiling and hugging Greg.

"Did I get any presents?" Greg asked.

"No!" Grissom said.

"What? A guy gets shot and he doesn't get a present?!"

They all rolled their eyes at Greg, and started laughing and talking about random things.. Now their lives were back!

****************

5 days later….

"Where's Greg?" Warrick asked.

It's been five days since Greg been out of the hospital and they had release him 2 days ago, today was Greg's first day back since he had to be in court to testify against Hodges for the past two days.

Now Sara, Nick, and Warrick waited for their lab tech to come in. They saw Catherine coming down the hall, "Where is he?"
They all went into the lounge as they saw Grissom, drinking coffee.

"Is that Blue Hawaiian?" Nick asked.

"Yep, Greg just made it a second ago!"  Grissom answered.

"Where is he?" ask Sara.

However, Greg's yelling answered her, "GRISSOM" he yelled and came into the lounge.

The four of them saw why Grissom was smiling. Greg was wearing a sling in his left arm, and in his right arm was a shirt, jeans and his lab coat. They looked down to see Greg wearing a Black Flag boxer.

 Greg looked at Grissom and moaned,  "I can't get my clothes on!"

The four CSIs laugh as Grissom got up and grabbed Greg's jeans.

"Step in Greg, before the whole lab sees your punk rock boxer!"

Greg blush, but joined laughing with the CSIs……
