--Chapter 24--

Sara walked into the living room, when she saw Catherine in the kitchen.

"Catherine, we have company," Sara raised her voice a little so she could hear her.

Catherine walked into the living room and saw Gil's mother.

"Hi, Catherine," she walked towards her and shook her hand.

"Hi, Mrs. Grissom," Catherine replied.

Catherine turned to Sara. "I'm going to leave, so that you can talk," Catherine said to her.

"You knew?" Sara said with an angry voice.

Catherine nodded and walked towards the door. "You know were to find me," she said and left.

Sara turned to Mrs. Grissom and pointed towards the couch. Mrs. Grissom sat down and looked at her.

"You want so coffee of tea?" she asked politely.

"No thanks," she replied. "I'm here to talk about the situation," she said calmly.

"What situation?" Sara looked away when she said it.

"Could you please look at me when you speak," she said softly.

Sara looked at her and suddenly she understands.

"I'm sorry, I didn't..." Sara looked at her.

Mrs. Grissom raised her hand. "It's ok," she smiled. "I want you to know that my son is worried about you."

"Why should he? I'm not his responsibility," she tried to stay calm.

"Yes, you are. He told me what happened," she said sadly.

"Everything?" she wanted to know.

Mrs. Grissom looked at her and nodded.

Sara jumped of the couch and started to pace up and down the living room.

"I can't believe he did that! He betrayed me!" she yelled. Tears where now running down her cheeks.

Mrs. Grissom walked to her. She didn't say anything but looked her in the eyes.

Sara turned away, but Mrs. Grissom grabbed her arm and pulled her into a hug. "Let it go," she whispered.

After a while Sara looked at Mrs. Grissom. "How is he doing?" she asked her between sobs.

"Better, but he misses you very much," she said. "He loves you Sara," she said softly.

"Are you sure, because this whole year he tried to push me away," she said angrily.

"I know, he was scared to death. He is...he is losing his hearing," Mrs. Grissom sat back down on the couch.

Sara looked at her in disbelieve.

"It's my fault," she said. "I have a disease called Otosclerosis, and I past it on to Gil," she didn't look up. "He thinks that if he had a relationship with you and he went deaf, you would leave him," Mrs. Grissom looked at her.

"I would never leave him and it's not your fault," she sat down next to Mrs. Grissom and hugged her. They both needed that. It was a topic Mrs. Grissom normally didn't talk about, because she felt guilty. She felt guilty because she gave it to her son, the one person she loved the most.

"Come home with me," she pleaded.

"But what about the baby," she still wasn't convinced to go home.

"If my son really loves you, then he will love this baby too," she said.

"I..uh.." Sara didn't know what to do.

"Please? You're the only one who can make my son happy," Sara looked at her.

"Ok, but I can't promise anything," she sighed.

When Greg walked towards his lab, he could hear the loud music. When he walked into the lab, he saw Wendy dancing.

"I feel good..." she was singing along.

Greg had to laugh.

Wendy immediately turned around and her face went red.

"Hi," she said shyly.

"Hi yourself," he replied.

"You can go home now," he said to her.

"Too bad," she said. "Do you have plans after shift?" she asked slowly.

Greg looked up and smiled. "No, I don't have plans," he grinned.

"Would you like to have breakfast with me?" she smiled too.

"Yeah, I would love too," he replied. He was now the happiest man on earth.

When shift ended, Catherine and Nick went to the hospital.

"Hi guys," Grissom said when they walked into the room.

"You look better then the last time I saw you," Catherine teased Grissom.

"I feel better too. How's Sara?" he really wanted to know.

"She is feeling..." Catherine couldn't explain but someone else did.

"I'm feeling fine," Sara said when she walked into the room together with Mrs. Grissom.

"Sara!" Grissom almost shouted.

Sara looked down to the floor. Nick and Catherine left the room. They knew that they had to talk.

Grissom looked at his mother.

*Don't screw this up. She really loves you but she is insecure and doesn't know how you feel about the baby* she signed to him.

Grissom nodded and Mrs. Grissom left the room.
