Author's Note: Thanks so much for all the great reviews!!! Again all the information in this story was researched. Please remember that I'm not an expert and that I probably made a few mistakes but this is a fanfic and I don't like unhappy endings (hint hint).

I have a tumor. I have a tumor. These four words kept racing through my head. I didn't want to believe it. Nick stayed with me the entire night and he even made me breakfast this morning. Warrick called earlier and told me that he was sorry and that he was here for me whenever I needed him. I thanked him and told him I would call later. Nick was in the shower, and I gathered some clothes to wear today. I'm still angry with the doctors at the hospital. They acted like I was fine. Never once did they say that I had a tumor. "Why would they do that?" I asked out loud. "Wasn't it their job to give people this kind of news?"
"It usually is, but we asked the doctor permission to let you go home and tell you here." Nick answered.
I didn't even hear him come in. "Why would you do that?"
"Because you were just in a car wreck and I knew you just wanted to go home. Besides, I needed to be the one to tell you."
I gave him a blank stare. "Why?"
"Because I love you."
I was speechless for a moment. 'Did he just say what I thought he did?' "You love me?"
He smiled. "I love you very much." He walked to me and kissed me softly on the lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened our kiss.
I pulled away and smiled. "I love you too."
"You should take a bath. We have to be at the doctor's office soon."
"Okay." I made my way to the bathroom and took my bath. I made sure to avoid the stitches. After I got dressed, I walked in the living room. Nick was on the phone and I listened in.
"Yeah, I told her last night." He paused. "She didn't take it too well. We're going to the doctor." He listened to the other person and then continued talking. "That's a good idea, she needs all the support she can get."
I wasn't sure whom he was talking to, but I was willing to bet it was either Catherine or Warrick. I sat down on the couch and put on my shoes. Nick looked over and smiled at me. "I'll call you as soon as we talk to the doctor. Bye Catherine."
I smiled. "What did Cath say?"
"She wanted to know how you were this morning. She said that Lindsey is begging to see you."
"What did you tell her?"
"That we had to go to the doctor's but if you were feeling better later, Lindsey could come and visit you for a while."
"That's fine. I wouldn't mind seeing her either."
We finished getting ready and soon made our way to see the doctor.

There we sat in Doctor Rayland's office. He was in his mid forties and his glasses kept sliding down. He glanced at my chart and then looked at me.
"Miss Sidle, as your boyfriend has probably already told you, we found a tumor on your brain."
'My boyfriend?' I'm not going to correct him. I liked the sound of Nick being my man. "Yes, he did."
"Okay, after running the tests, we've learned that you have what is called well-differentiated or low-grade astrocytomas. It contains cells that are relatively normal and are less malignant than other tumors. Now, the good news is that it grows very slowly and sometimes it can be completely removed through surgery."
"You mean if I have this surgery, than I have a chance of surviving?"
"Yes, but I will warn you astrocytomas can be life threatening if they are inaccessible."
Nick glanced over at the doctor. "So, let me get this straight, if you can reach Sara's tumor, you can remove it all?"
"That's correct and she shouldn't have that many complications."
Nick turned to me and smiled. There was a light at the end of my tunnel and I intended to reach it.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
The doctor gave us pamphlets about the tumor and answered some of our questions. I knew that I had to go through the surgery. It might not make much of a difference, but I owed to myself and to everyone else that I try. I'm not going to let this beat me. I understand that this is serious and it's not going to always be easy, but I have the support and love of my friends. I'm very lucky.
Nick and I were sitting in my living room reading through the booklets when we heard a knock at the door. Nick got up and answered it. Lindsey and Catherine stood in the doorway. "Hey Uncle Nick!" Lindsey said and gave him a hug.
"Hey Lindsey." He smiled at Catherine. "Hey Cath."
Lindsey ran over to me and gave me a hug. "Hey Aunt Sara!" I told her hey and she handed me a card. "I made this for you."
I took the card and smiled. "Thanks Linds." I glanced down at the card and noticed that it was a homemade card. Lindsey had decorated the front with rainbows and animals. It said "Get Well" on the cover. I opened it and smiled. Lindsey drew a picture of the entire night shift and herself. She even put who each person was. She wrote, "Aunt Sara, I hope you feel better and we all love you." I glanced down at the girl beside me.
"I love it. It's the best card I've ever had." I hugged her and looked up at Catherine. She and Nick had remained quiet while I read the card. "Hey Catherine."
"Hi Sara. How are you feeling?"
"Right now, I'm fine. The pain medicine finally kicked in so my head isn't throbbing anymore."
"That's good to hear." Catherine sat down and Nick sat down beside me. We talked about different things. Lindsey turned on the television and began watching cartoons. We had been talking for an hour, when someone knocked on the door. I got up and answered it. Warrick stood on the other end holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Hey Warrick." I greeted.
"Hey Sar." He handed me the flowers and bent over and kissed my cheek. "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing okay. Come on in. Catherine and Lindsey are here." I moved aside to let him in. Lindsey jumped off the couch and enveloped him in a bear hug.
"Uncle Warrick!" He picked her up and held her.
"How's my girl?"
"Good." He set her down and took a seat on the couch. Lindsey hopped on his lap and made herself comfy.
The sight warmed my heart. Warrick would make a great dad someday and I prayed that I would live long enough to see it. I glanced over at my friends who I considered my family and smiled. I was extremely lucky. Grissom came over a few minutes later, followed by Greg. I decided to order some take out and they all ended up staying almost the entire day. They all left around seven that evening and needless to say I was exhausted. Happy, but exhausted. Nick and I were laying in bed relaxing. I think he was as tired as I was. He kissed my forehead. "I love you Sara."
"I love you too Nick." We both drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.

It's been a week since I found out about my brain tumor. I was now in the hospital fixing to undergo my surgery. Dr. Rayland seemed very confident that he would be able to remove the whole tumor. In case he's not able too remove it all, he said that I might have to have radiation therapy. Nick has been very supportive. He's been by my side the whole time. So has everyone else at the lab. They've been great. The door to my room opened and they all walked in.
"Hey Sara." Warrick greeted me along with the others.
"Good luck Sara." Grissom said.
"Thanks." I replied and each took their turn giving me a hug and caring words. Nick was the last person to leave. He leaned down and kissed me.
"I'll be right here when you wake up. I promise."
"I'm going to hold you to that." I informed him and he kissed me again. "I love you."
"Love you too Sara." I watched Nick leave and soon I was being wheeled to the operating room.

Nick's POV
We sat in the waiting room for what seemed like an eternity. I was on my fourth cup of coffee and so was Warrick. I was beginning to wonder just whose girlfriend Sara was. Of course I know that Warrick considers Sara as his baby sister and he's very protective of her. Lindsey and Catherine went to the gift shop because Lindsey insisted that Sara should have something when she woke up.
"What's taking so long?" Greg asked.
"I don't know." I answered. I hated waiting and I felt so useless.
"These things take time." Grissom informed us.
Catherine and Lindsey came back and Lindsey sat down on Warrick's lap. She had a paper bag in her arms.
"Is that for Sara?" Warrick asked her.
"Yeah. I picked it out, but I don't want you to see it yet. I want Sara to see it first."
"Okay." We became silent again and finally Dr. Rayland walked over to us. I stood up and held my breath.
He smiled at us. "The surgery was a success. We were able to remove the whole tumor."
I released my breath and smiled. "Is she going to be okay?"
"For now. We're going to keep her for a few days to make sure she's recovering well. You have to remember that she might still have to undergo radiation therapy in case we missed some cells."
"But she's going to live right?"
"Yes, she's going to live and as long as she continues her routine check-ups, she should be fine."
I was thrilled. I glanced over at everyone and they had the same smiles on their faces. I couldn't wait to see her. Dr. Rayland told us that she should be back in her room shortly and that I could see her. I thanked him and watched him walk off.

Sara's POV
I felt like I was waking up from a peaceful dream, only I didn't remember what I dreamt. It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the light. I knew I wasn't alone in the room. I was pretty sure that Nick was in there somewhere. After all, he did promise me. I tried to turn my head, but I wasn't quite pulling it off. Nick must have noticed because I felt him by my side.
"Hey sweetie, how are you feeling?"
"I'm tired." I whispered. Nick leaned down and kissed my forehead.
"Get some rest. I'll be here when you wake up."
"Okay." I drifted back to sleep and woke up sometime later. I heard voices in the room and glanced around. Warrick and Nick were sitting on chairs near my bed and Catherine and Lindsey were standing with Grissom by the door. "Hey." I said getting their attention.
"I see sleeping beauty finally woke up." Warrick replied.
"Not feeling to much like a beauty right now War." I tell him. I know they cut my hair for the surgery and I could only imagine how bad my head looked.
"You're always beautiful to me." Nick commented causing me to smile.
"Aunt Sara." Lindsey said and walked over to me. She was holding a paper bag. "I got you something."
"Thanks Linds." I reached out and took the bag while she sat down on the bed beside me. I opened the bag and pulled out an adorable teddy bear. It had a bandage around its head and his shirt said get well soon. I loved it and thanked Lindsey again.
"You're welcome. I thought he was cute and you can cuddle him when no one else is around." Lindsey leaned over and gave me a hug. She pulled away and hopped off the bed. She took her place next to her mother.
Dr. Rayland came in the room and checked on my bandages. He seemed rather pleased with the outcome of the surgery. Needless to say I was greatly thankful. He went over several things about what might happen in the next few days and to let him know if I was feeling strange. He told me I would be in the hospital at least five more days. I hate hospitals. At least this room has a television with cable. I have a feeling that Nick will be here most of those five days and the television will be on Discovery channel. Dr. Rayland left and soon the others started to leave as well. They all promised to come back and see me tomorrow. Catherine said that she'd bring some magazines for me to read and maybe some books. Lindsey told me that I could read her Harry Potter book. I smiled and said thanks. As soon as everyone but Nick left, he sat down beside me and held my hand. We talked for a while until I couldn't keep my eyes open and soon we both drifted off to sleep.

ONE WEEK LATER
I was never so happy to be home in my life, then the day I came home from the hospital. I was walking around my house in a tank top and pajama bottoms. Nick had gone back to work a few days ago and he was there now. I missed him not being around and sometimes I want to pick up the phone and tell him to come over. Of course, he's working and I can't do that. Catherine promised Lindsey that she could come over and spend the night with me anytime Lindsey wanted. I went in my bedroom and grabbed the bear she got me. Lindsey and I decided he needed a name so we named him Patch. She had watched the movie Patch Adams on television and thought that would be a great name for the bear. I walked back in the living room holding Patch to my chest. I sat down on the couch and flipped on the T.V. Thanks to being in bed a week, I've become a television junkie. There are some really awesome forensic shows that I've been watching to keep me from missing work too bad. The doctor said I could go back to work soon. I can't wait. I miss my job and I miss my friends.
I was watching forensic files when the phone rang. I reached over and answered it. "Hello?"
"Hey Sara." Nick's voice came on the other line.
"How are you?" I asked smiling. I really loved this man.
"Good, I was calling to check in."
"Well, Patch and I are watching forensic files." I told him.
He laughed. "I'm jealous. That bear is where I want to be."
I kept smiling. "Well, you'll just have to wait until after work. You are coming over right?"
"You bet."
"Nick, I wanted to tell you thank you for everything. I couldn't have done this without you."
"You're welcome. I'll see you in a few hours." He hung up and I placed my phone down. I continued watching my show until I feel asleep. I heard someone open my front door and leaned up. Nick walked in and sat down beside me. He leaned over and gently kissed me.
"Warrick said hi and he got you a ticket for the game. He didn't think it would be the same without you there."
"I'll have to call him and thank him."
"I can't believe all that's happened in the past few weeks."
I shook my head. "Me neither. I would have never guessed that I would have to have a brain tumor removed nor would I have guessed that you and I would be so close."
He smiled. "I know. I love you Sara."
"I love you too Nick. And you know what's amazing?"
"No, what?"
"All it took was a phone call." I smiled and leaned over and kissed him. My life was a perfect as I thought it could get.
