A/N: Sorry for the cliff-hanger. To apologise, here's a longer chapter.

Chapter 2

The doctor smiled at her.

"Yes he will be okay, it will take him a while to recover but he will be fine"

Sara could feel the tears of relief filling up in her eyes

"Can I see him?"

"Of course, are you his wife?"

"Yes"

"Okay well if you follow me Mrs Grissom, I can take you to see him."

She followed the doctor into a small room, Grissom was lying on the bed covered in tubes and surrounded by machines.

"He may be out for a while, okay?"

Sara nodded, she walked over to the chair next to him, and she turned to see the doctor leave.

She sat on the chair and took hold of his hand.

"I am so sorry Griss, it should be me lying there" She told him, squeezing his hand tighter and letting the tears fall from her eyes.

Six hours passed and Sara had not moved from the chair next to Grissom. Nick was still outside the room waiting for Sara. Warrick had picked Catherine up four hours ago so that she could return to her case.

Sara was asleep in the chair next to Grissom when he woke up. He was unsure of were he was and his mind was blank. He looked around to try and find something that would jog his memory of what had happened to him and where he was. He turned to his left and saw Sara curled up on the chair next to him. The memory of what had happened returned to him and he was relieved that Sara was okay. He tried to sit up but a pain shot through his shoulder and he cried out.

Sara woke up instantly.

"Griss your awake, are you okay?" She asked frantically.

He nodded.

"I'll get a doctor," she began to stand when he reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Stay with me."

"Okay," she sat back down and took his hand in hers.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

She smiled and nodded. She felt the tears fill up in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"You're lying in a hospital bed and your asking how I am."

He raised his eyebrow and smiled. "Well you always manage to get yourself in trouble when I'm not around."

They both laughed. A pain shot through his shoulder once again and he winced. Sara noticed this and knew she had to get a doctor.

"I'm going to get a doctor," she told him, he knew that he couldn't stop her this time so he watched her leave.

As she opened the door Nick appeared in front of her.

"Hey how is he?" He asked.

"He's awake, I am going to get a doctor. You can go in though." Nick nodded and walked into Grissom's room.

He was shocked at what he saw, he had never seen Grissom looking so frail before.

"Hey Griss, how are you?" He asked.

"I've been better Nicky," he told him smiling.

"Yeh well the doctor should be here in a minute," he said trying to make conversation, he had never been more uncomfortable in his life as he didn't like seeing Grissom as the victim.

At that moment the doctor walked in closely followed by Sara.

"Hello Mr Grissom, how are you feeling?" The doctor asked as he picked up his chart.

"I feel like I've been shot," he told him sarcastically.

"Okay, well, your vitals look good. You were shot just above the heart so you were lucky. I'll give you some painkillers for the pain."

"When can he go home?" Sara asked anxiously.

"Well, we need to make sure that the wound doesn't become infected, other than that he should be able to go home with you in a couple of days Mrs Grissom."

The doctor smiled at the three of them and left.

Grissom just looked at Sara in total confusion.

"What?" She asked.

"Mrs Grissom?" He replied with a slight smirk appearing on his face.

"Oh, Catherine's idea, we had to be family to visit you," Sara began to blush.

He nodded and noticed Nick turning away to laugh.

Sara nudged him and gave him an evil stare.

"Oh Sara, here you go," he handed her one of his shirts.

"What's this for?"

"Warrick brought it in for you, your shirt is covered in.." His words trailed off as he pointed at the blood covering her shirt.

"Oh, yeh, I'll be right back," she told them as she grabbed the shirt off Nick and left.

An hour later Nick had gone home to get changed and get a shower. Sara didn't want to leave Grissom so Nick was coming back later that day to pick her up for work.

Sara and Grissom were discussing their case.

"Thank you," she said.

"For what?" He asked looking a little confused.

"For saving my life."

He smiled at her. "My pleasure."

"Griss, I need to tell you something," she told him, pulling her chair closer to his bed.

"Okay, what is it?" He asked.

"I was really scared that I was going to lose you before telling you something important."

He waited for her to say something else but noticed that she looked worried.

"Sara what is it?"

"Well...I need you!"

"You need for me for what?" He asked.

"No, I need you. I need you in my life, I don't know what I would do without you, I..I love you." She told him, she instantly stood up and walked over to the window.

She was so worried of what his response was going to be. He was silent. She knew that his silence was not a good thing.

She turned round to face him and saw him smiling.

"Sara, I love you too."

"What?" Was her reply.

"I love you too, I have done for a long time now but I was afraid to tell you."

"Wait Gil Grissom was afraid of something?"

He nodded.

"I was afraid too," she told him.

She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. He took hold of her hand and pulled her close to him.

"I need you too," he whispered.

She placed her head on his shoulder and they sat in each other's arms, never wanting to let go.

A/N: Okay I may add another chapter regarding Grissom's recovery and how they interact around work. Tell me if you think I should!!
