Chapter 4
A few months went by, some slowly and a few quickly, but either way,
time was slipping for Sara and Grissom.
Sara had been living with Grissom because the treatments were
getting to tough for her to manage on her own and the amount of work
she was able to do was limited. The anemia was really getting to her
and she was barely able to take it anymore.
Today was both Grissom and Sara's day off and they were determined
to spend it together doing things normal couples would do.
"So Grissom what do you have planned?" Sara asked as there Tahoe
smoothly cruised down the nearly desolate road.
"It's a surprise."
"Grissom please, no surprises. I've had enough for one lifetime."
"Ok, well fine it's not a surprise, you just have to wait."
She let out a forceful sigh, followed by a yawn.
He smiled at her. God he loved this woman and thinking about how his
time with her was limited made his heart sink. He wanted to spend
eternity with her, but they both knew it wasn't going to happen.
"Don't worry Sara we're almost there."
"Ok."
Ten minutes later, they were walking hand in hand down a shaded path
at Lake Mead.
"So is this the surprise Grissom? A walk?"
"No. This is." They rounded a corner and there was the most
beautiful sight Sara had ever seen.
"Oh my God. Grissom this is beautiful."
I used to come here all the time before I had the surgery. It was
just a place where you didn't need sound to enjoy or discover
beauty. I thought you would like it." He smiled and led her down the
hill to a shaded spot near the water.
He sat down and helped her sit down next to him. They sat there in
silence for nearly an hour before it started getting dark, and they
headed for the car, but as they were making their way back to the
car, Sara began loosing her strength, then her breaths were coming
in slow and it was getting hard for her to breathe. Grissom began to
realize she was struggling, and placed his arm around her to help
her.
"Sara, are you ok?" he asked, but she didn't answer. "Sara?" she
still didn't answer and then her world went black.

Grissom had rushed Sara to the hospital, and ended up in the cold
waiting room alone. He had called the rest of the team but it was
taking them some time get to the hospital.
"Mr. Grissom?" a doctor walked up to him and he immediately stood.
"Yes."
"I'm the doctor that treated Sara."
"How is she?"
"I'm sorry but it doesn't look good. The cancer has spread even
further, and there is not anything we can do about it as of now."
Grissom wasn't sure how to take the news so he just stayed silent.
"Exactly how much time do you think doctor?"
"Another month or so." He nodded.
"You can see her if you'd like." Another nod.
"Follow me." He followed and after the doctor showed him the room,
he slowly walked in.
His heart ached to see Sara lying there. She opened her eyes when
she heard the faint sound of footsteps enter the room.
"Hey baby." She whispered.
"Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Tiered. The doctor says I can go home." He nodded and gave her a
faint smile. It seemed like that was all he was able to do.
"Grissom, I'm fine. Grissom, I'm not scared anymore, and having you
here with me holding my hand, loving me, makes me feel more alive
than ever have and ever will feel. Thank you Grissom." She smiled
faintly, "Thank you for making me feel so alive." He then broke
down, unable to old his emotions back he placed his head in his
hands and she gently rubbed her hand through his soft curls.
"I love you Sara." He whispered.
"I love you too Gil." She whispered back.
