A/N I'm updating again as I promised. Again sorry for the delay real life has been hectic.

Disclaimer: Not mine.. no matter how hard I wish.

When Alekxandra opened her eyes she realized she was no longer in the hut, she sat up and looked around her. She was in a room with no windows and two doors. Seeing something moving in the corner of her eye she turned to see a young man sitting in a chair watching her.

'You're awake' he looked at her.

Alekxandra looked over at him puzzled.

'You've always wondered what kind of man I'd have grown up to be' he answered rising to walk over to her.

'Why am I here?' Alekxandra asked her eyes meeting his.

'Because I failed' he answered. 'I was supposed to bring you and Gil together, instead I drove you apart'.

'No.. It wasn't like that' Alekxandra spoke tears filling her eyes.

Nick sat still holding Sara in his arms gently rocking her, when he felt her sobbing subside he kissed her forehead. He looked at his watch and sighed. 'Come on Sara, up we get.' He gently lifted her up with him moving towards the bathroom.

'I need a shower' Sara mumbled as they moved towards the bathroom.

'How about we have a shower then we can go check on Alekxandra?' Nick asked his hand resting on the small of Sara's back. Sara nodded as she turned the shower on shedding her clothes quickly and stepping under the warm spray, smiling as she felt Nick step in behind her his arms snaking around her waist.

'This is nice' she murmured letting her head fall back onto Nick's chest.

Nicks hands rubbed up and down her arms. 'Yes it is, you ok now?' he asked quietly.

Sara sighed 'Not really, but I'll be ok' she let her hands rest on his.

'Come on let's go see Ally' he reached forward to turn the water off before they stepped out to get dressed.

**************************************************************************** ***********

'She loves you very much Gil' Jayne sat beside Grissom watching Alekxandra. 'She never said it but I know she thought about you a lot.'

'I never should have let her leave' Grissom answered somberly.

'Have you forgotten how stubborn she is Gil?' Jayne smiled looking at him.

Grissom smiled shaking his head. 'She's a wild one alright.'

'Yes she is.' Jayne looked at him noticing his tired eyes. 'Why don't you go home get some rest Gil?'

'No' he shook his head 'I'm fine.'

'If you say so.'

**************************************************************************** **********

Catherine and Warrick stood outside the room watching silently, when Nick and Sara arrived. 'How is she?' Sara asked looking through the window.

'She's holding on' Catherine answered turning to Sara pulling her into an embrace.

'How's Grissom doing?' Nick asked looking at Warrick.

'Hasn't left her side, and I don't think we'll be able to get him to.' Warrick nodded towards the room. 'He's taking it pretty hard.'

'Well Warrick he almost lost her once, and he's afraid he will this time' Catherine looked into the room. 'We should think about heading into the lab' she sighed.

Jayne walked out of the room looking exasperated. 'He's not going to leave, look at him he's exhausted.'

'He can be stubborn' Catherine's mouth curved into a smile.

'Perhaps one of you could talk to him?' Jayne looked hopefully at them. 'When Ally wakes up she's going to need him at his best.'

'Even if we do get him to leave he's going to want to go looking for Bateman.' Warrick muttered.

'Oh Jayne this is Nick Stokes and Sara Sidle they work with Ally too' Catherine motioned to the two CSI's as she spoke.

Jayne smiled 'Nice to see my Ally has so many people who care about her here'.

'Wait till you meet Greg' Nick muttered.

'Now, who can help me get him to leave? I will call as soon as anything happens' Jayne's eyes pleaded with them to help.

'I'll talk to him' Sara spoke looking through the doors.

'I don't know if that's such a good idea Sara' Catherine started as Sara pushed through the doors and into the room.

**************************************************************************** *****

Sara stood for a moment looking at Grissom noting the dark circles under his eyes and his tired shoulders slumped, aware that the others were watching from outside. 'How is she' she whispered slipping into the chair next to Grissom.

'Still comatose, no change' Grissom answered his heart aching as he uttered the words. He turned to face Sara 'What about you? Are you ok?' his eyes seemed so much bluer as he fought back tears.

'I'm getting there, Nick's taking good care of me' she answered watching him. 'You need rest Grissom, Ally is going to need you to be strong for her. You can't help her if you're asleep on your feet.'

'I need to stay Sara, what if she wakes up and I'm not here?' Grissom's gaze turned back to Alekxandra.

'I'll stay with her, and I'll call you the minute anything changes. You need rest Grissom.' Sara looked at him here eyes pleading with him. 'Jayne will stay too, if she wakes up she won't be alone. Please Grissom, don't let her see you like this.'

Grissom sighed and looked at Sara 'Alright, but you'll call me the minute anything changes?'

'Of course I will. I'll go tell the others and let you say bye in private ok?' Sara stood moving towards the door.

'Alright' he sighed turning back to Ally.

**************************************************************************** **************

'Alright he's agreed to leave for a while' Sara spoke to the group 'but only if I stay and call him as soon as anything happens.'

'Are you gonna be ok Sar' Nicks brown eyes met her's full of concern.

She nodded 'I'll be fine, but who's gonna drag Grissom outta here and keep him away from the lab?'

Catherine groaned 'I'll do it, Nick can you take Warrick with you to the lab? I'll take him home and see he at least has a shower and something to eat.'

Nick nodded pulling Sara into his arms. 'You call me if you need me ok?' he pressed his lips to her forehead.

'I will' she answered moving towards the door.

Jayne looked at Sara 'Ok.. Time to move him dear.' She muttered as she walked through the doors.

**************************************************************************** ***********

While the others discussed what to do with him Grissom sat holding Alekxandra's hand. 'I've got to go for a while Ally, but Sara and your Mum will stay with you and I'll be back soon.' He stood and leaned forward to gently kiss her forehead. 'I'll get him I promise you.'

Grissom stood and moved towards the door as Sara and Jayne walked inside. 'Catherine's going to take you home Gris. Get some rest ok? Nick and Warrick will handle anything that comes up.'

Jayne pulled Grissom into an embrace whispering in his ear 'Go rest, you need it, I'll call if anything changes.'

Grissom looked at Jayne 'If she wakes up tell her... Tell her that I love her' he finished his voice breaking on the last word.

'I will I promise. No go get some rest.' Jayne gently pushed him out the door.

Sara sat down beside Alekxandra 'I hope you heard that Ally, he loves you.'

Jayne sat down beside Sara. 'She knows she's just too stubborn to let him know she loves him too.' Sara smiled at Jayne 'I'm sure she'll let him know when she wakes up.'

The two women sat finding comfort in the silence.

**************************************************************************** **********

Nick and Warrick left Catherine waiting at the door and headed outside to the Tahoe. 'How's Sara doing?' Warrick asked as he got into the passenger seat.

Nick sighed starting the engine 'She didn't get much sleep last night. She had a few nightmares.'

Warrick nodded 'Catherine slept ok I think.'

Nick turned to look at Warrick 'You stayed with her didn't you? I knew it' he smirked at the other man.

'Get your mind out of the gutter Nick I comforted her, that's all' Warrick shook his head.

'Whatever you say' Nick turned and headed towards the lab.

**************************************************************************** ********

Catherine watched as Grissom moved out the door towards her.

'Drew the short straw huh?' Grissom spoke as Catherine pulled him into her arms.

'Not at all, someone's gotta look after you' Catherine held him close 'she'll be ok Gil.'

Grissom nodded and they began walking towards the car park, getting into the Tahoe. Catherine started the car and headed towards Grissom's townhouse.

'Where are we going Cath?' Grissom asked noticing she wasn't heading towards the lab.

'I'm taking you home Gil no offence but you look like you could use a shower.' Catherine kept her voice even.

'Cath take me to the lab, we have to find him.' Grissom could feel his head starting to pound.

'No way Gil, Ecklie is handling it. Nightshift's hands are off it you know we can't risk it.' Catherine pulled up in front of the house. 'Come on you need some rest.'

Grissom sighed 'Fine I'll take a shower then head into the lab.'

'God Gil, would it kill you to take some time off?' Catherine's frustration was evident. 'Besides, Ecklie isn't going to want you sniffing around his investigation.'

Grissom looked at her sharply.

'Oh come on Gil you know you won't be able to stay away from him' Catherine pushed him through the door going to his bathroom cupboard and getting his migraine medication. 'And don't tell me you don't need this because I know you better than that.'

Grissom took the bottle along with a glass of water into his room, returning with clean clothes. 'I'm going to take a shower now.'

'I'm going to head into the lab, you get some rest I'll call you later ok?' Catherine grabbed her keys and walked to the door, as Grissom walked into his bathroom mumbling something about pushy women.

**************************************************************************** ****************

Catherine walked out the front door towards her Tahoe as her cell phone started to ring. 'Willows' she answered.

'Catherine it's Warrick, where's Grissom?'

'He's at home why?' Catherine got into her car.

'Brass just brought Bateman in and I don't think we need Grissom here.'

'Alright I'll meet you at the station.' Catherine started the engine drove off.
