Grissom woke to the steady beeping of the heart monitor, as he slowly opened his eyes he remembered where he was and why he was there. He rubbed his eyes and looked at his watch, it was a little after 8. He looked at Alekxandra's pale form, her face still as he held her hand in his.
'You have to wake up Ally. I can't do this on my own.' Grissom felt a lump form in his throat as he watched her wishing he could change things, that he could have prevented this. 'I'm sorry I didn't protect you' his voice broke on the last word as he felt tears slide down his face.

By the time Catherine and Warrick made their way to the airport it was already after 8. 'I can't believe I forgot' Catherine muttered as they moved through the crowded terminal.
'You know you shouldn't be so hard on yourself dear'
Catherine smiled and turned to see Jayne, Alekxandra's mother standing behind her.
'What no hug?' Jayne pulled her into a tight embrace.
'Jayne this is Warrick Brown he works the nightshift with us.' Catherine turned to Warrick.
'It's a pleasure to meet you. I just wish it could be in happier circumstances.' Warrick shook the older womans hand and was shocked when she pulled him into an embrace.
'How is she?' Jayne asked her green eyes bright with tears.
'She's..' Catherine started.
'She's holding on' Warrick finished for her squeezing her hand.
'And Gil?'
'He hasn't left her side' Catherine sniffed.
'Come on let's get you to her' Warrick picked up Jayne's bags and steered the two women towards where he had parked the car.

Nick looked down at Sara sleeping in his arms as he gazed out the window at the falling rain. He felt her body twitching as she turned murmuring. 'No.. Stop'
'Sara' Nick whispered as she started to thrash in is arms, as if she was fighting some unknown assailant. 'Sara honey wake up' Nick spoke a little louder, as Sara's eyes flew open and she let out an ear piercing scream.
'Let me go' she screamed her hands beating Nicks chest.
'Sara listen to me it's Nick' Nick cradled her face in his hands. 'It's Nick, you know I'd never hurt you.' Sara's hands began to slow as she sobbed in his arms. 'Its alright, your safe' Nick rocked her in his arms, as she slowly stopped sobbing.
'It could have been me Nick, I couldn't stop him' she sobbed clinging to his body.
'You're safe Sara. I won't let anyone hurt you' he murmured softly into her hair.

Jim Brass stood at the door of the ICU watching Grissom, thinking that today he looked much older than his 48 years. Grissom was sitting beside Ally, her hand clasped in his whispering to her.
'Hello Jim'
Brass turned smiling at the woman standing before him. 'Jayne it's been too long'
'How is she?' Warrick asked his arm around Catherines waist.
'Not sure, I haven't been in yet.' Brass looked towards the door.
'And how is he doing?' Catherine asked fighting to control her tears.
'The nurses tell me he hasn't left her side.' Jim opened the door as Jayne walked inside, leaving the three of them to watch.
**************************************************************************** **************
'You're still watching over her aren't you'
Grissom's eyes closed momentarily hearing the soft spoken words, opening them to look at Jayne. 'Evidently not closely enough' he whispered his eyes returning to Ally's pale face.
Jayne pulled a chair over to sit down beside him. 'When are you going to stop blaming yourself Gil?'
He shook his head his eyes never leaving Ally.
'She's going to need you to be strong for her' Jayne whispered putting her hand over his. 'She'll pull through, my little girl's a fighter.'
'I hope so' Grissom whispered.
