Chapter 31.
After diner, Grissom brought his mother home first. Then he drove in the direction of Sara's apartment. He was thinking of the words his mother said. Give it time. So he didn't ask her if she would stay at his place.
Sara saw that something was bugging him. First she didn't know what, but when he parked the car in front of her apartment, she knew. She was glad that he didn't push her, although she wanted to stay at his place. It was to soon for her. She kissed him and stepped out of the car.
"See you in a couple of hours," she said and closed the door.
Grissom opened the window. "Yeah, see you soon. Bye Sara."
"Bye Griss." She walked up the path towards her apartment. When she reached her front door she turned around and waved. She saw him smiled and he waved back. She opened the door and went inside.
The ride back to his place was in silence. He was thinking about his future. He never wanted to loose her again. He once lost the woman he loved and he wouldn't let that happen again.
He parked his car in front of his townhouse and got out. He checked his mailbox first. He found a little card in it. He looked at the card. Don't forget said the card. He turned it around and recognized Sara's handwriting. Dr. Saunders, 2 p.m. Love Sara. A big smile came onto his face. She wrote love, his mind screamed.
He opened the door and walked towards his kitchen. He made himself a cup of coffee. Meanwhile he walked towards his bedroom to take a shower and change his clothes. When he was showered and changed he walked into the living room and fed his tarantula. He walked into his kitchen and grabbed his coffee and the newspaper. He sat down at the table and opened it at the sport section.
Sara walked into the bathroom and filled the tub. She undressed herself and looked into the mirror. The hump was growing everyday. She had to smile at herself. Me and pregnant! She laughed and got into the tub. She relaxed and grabbed the book she was reading off the chair next to the tub.
When Grissom walked into the hallway towards his office, he heard loud music coming out of the DNA-lab. Suddenly it went quiet and he heard someone scream.
"Greg! Are you nuts!!" Wendy screamed and ran out of DNA-lab and bumped into Grissom. With aloud thud, Wendy hit the floor.
"Shit!" she muttered and touched the back of her head.
"Are you ok?" Grissom asked concerned and helped her up. He noticed some blood on her hand. "You're bleeding," he looked at her and her hand went automatically back to the back of her head.
Inside, Greg heard some noise. He walked out of the lab and saw Wendy on the floor and Grissom standing next to her and helping her up. When he heard Grissom say she was bleeding, he was at her side immediately.
"Hey, are you ok?" he said and looked at her. She looked mad.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She pushed Greg aside and tried to walk away but she lost her balance.
Grissom grasped her arm to steady her. "Someone should look at that," he tried to convince her to see a doctor. "Greg, go back to work and keep the noise down. It's going to be ok."
Greg nodded worriedly and walked back into the lab.
"Ok," she groaned. Grissom brought her to the department nurse. "I'll wait here," he said to the nurse.
She nodded and closed the door. Wendy told her she wasn't feeling so good. She cleaned up the wound, but saw that she still was bleeding. She put a bandage on the wound and opened the door. "Mr. Grissom?"
Grissom walked into the room. "She needs to go to the hospital. He wound is still bleeding. I think she needs a couple of stitches and she has a concussion." Grissom looked at Wendy and nodded.
Wendy lifted her head to see who came into the room but she instantly regretted it. She grabbed her head with both hands and groaned.
"I'll call an ambulance," Grissom said and got his cell phone.
After the call, Grissom sat down next to her. "What happened in there?" Grissom asked her.
"Huh?" Wendy was a little confused.
"I heard loud music, suddenly it was silent, and then I heard a scream…" Grissom looked at her but saw that she was struggling to stay awake.
"Greg…tickling…can't…" she mumbled the words. And then it was silent.
"Wendy?" Grissom touched her shoulder but she didn't react. Grissom heard some commotion in the hall. A paramedics came into the room.
"She just lost consciousness," he told the paramedic and stepped aside. Two other paramedics came in with a gurney. The transferred her from the bed onto the gurney and brought her to the ambulance.
Greg heard the commotion and walked into the hall. When he saw Grissom's worried face, he knew something was wrong. He ran towards Grissom. He wanted to ask him what happened when two paramedics carried out a gurney.
"Wendy!" he yelled.
Grissom turned around and stopped Greg. "You can go with her. Give them some space."
Greg looked at the still form on the gurney. He couldn't think straight. Grissom grasped his arm and led him to the ambulance.
Greg climbed into the ambulance and looked at Grissom. "Thanks."
Grissom nodded and shut the doors of the ambulance. He walked inside and went to the break room.
"What happened to Wendy?" Nick asked when Grissom walked into the room.
"Little accident. She ran out of Greg's lab and collided with me. She took a nasty fall." Grissom grabbed a cup and filled it with coffee.
"What did Greg do?" Warrick was curious.
"Something with tickling. I don't know." Grissom looked around the room. "Where's Sara?"
"Haven't seen her yet." Catherine looked up from her magazine. "How's your mother?"
A smile appeared on Grissom's face. "She's fine. The movers delivered everything today. I think she is redecorating right now."
Catherine smiled and went back reading her magazine.
Grissom was a little worried about Sara. She was late. When his cell phone went off, he hoped that it was her. He looked at the display and saw her name. "Grissom."
"Hey Griss. It's Sara. Sorry, I'm going to be late. I was reading a book in the tub and forgot the time. Give me twenty minutes and I'll be there."
"Don't worry, and take your time. I have only one case tonight and Warrick and Catherine are on their way now," he said and gave Warrick the assignment and smiled.
"Ok, see you later." She said and hung up the phone.
Grissom closed his phone and walked out of the break room.
"Hey!" Nick yelled. "What about me."
Grissom turned around. "Paperwork Nicky!"
"Oh no. Not paperwork," Nick groaned and walked back to the break room.
Sara walked into the locker room. She hung her jacket into her locker and grabbed her badge and gun. When she walked along Greg's lab, she noticed that something was different. No music! She looked up and didn't see Greg at all. This is strange… She reached Grissom's office and walked inside. She saw him sitting at his desk, he didn't hear her.
"Grissom," she said.
Startled, Grissom looked up. When he saw Sara, he smiled.
"What did you do to Greg?" she tried to keep a straight face.
"Greg is at the hospital." He exhaled deeply and took off this glasses.
"What! What happened Grissom?" Sara walked towards him.
"Wendy had a little accident earlier," he said.
"Is she going to be ok?" Sara grabbed Grissom's hand.
"I hope so. She had a gash at the back of her head and a concussion." He explained.
"How did that happen?" Sara asked curiously.
"Greg made a move to tickle her and she ran out of the lab and collided with me," he said a little embarrassed.
"Ouch. That must have hurt." She had to suppress her laughter.
"It's not funny Sara," he looked irritated.
"Sorry." She apologized to him. "Where's Nicky?"
"Break room I think. Paperwork!" he grinned when he said it.
"I think I'm going to keep him company for a while." She turned around and walked out of Grissom's office.
Grissom shook his head and smiled. He sat down and opened another file.
