"Where's Mummy?" she asked again
"Well Lindsey..." Why had he not prepared for this. He should have known she would ask. "Your mum..."
But that was as far as he got for at that moment Nick, Sara and Warrick entered the room arms full of flowers, balloons and toys.
"Uncle Nick, Uncle Warrick, Sara!"
"Hey gorgeous!" Came Nick's reply
"Nick, Sara, Warrick, can I see you outside for a minute please?"
"Yeah sure Gris." Warrick replied putting the gifts he was holding on Lindsey's bedside table. Nick and Sara followed suite.
"What's up Gris?" Sara inquired once they were out of earshot of Lindsey
"I haven't told her about Catherine yet"
There was a moment of silence as the information was absorbed.
"Do you want us to tell her?"
"If it comes up again tell her that she's in hospital"
The three nodded and were about to enter the room again when Nick turned around.
"Oh, and the doctor wanted to see you Grissom"
All he could do was nod in response.

At the Doctors office...
"Ah, Mr. Grissom, Please sit down," said the doctor gesturing to a seat
"Is this about Catherine?" he asked taking a seat
"Yes, the bullet went through Ms Willows's right lung. We have repaired the lung and there doesn't appear that there will be any permanent damage. However the bullet lodged in her spine. It would have been too risky to remove it. There is permanent damage but to the extent of the damage we are unsure of. She also lost a lot of blood. She has had to have a blood transfusion. She is in critical condition, in a coma. She is in intensive care and, as in the case of her daughter, on life support and respirator. Mr. Grissom I'm going to tell you straight. We are not sure if Ms Willows will ever come out of this coma."
He stopped for a moment to let this information sink in
"As for Miss Willows, she should make a full recovery. Her ribs will heal and there doesn't appear to be any permanent damage"
"But how did she come out of the coma so quickly?"
"Oh, sometimes happens when coma patients if something traumatic happens to a person they are close to"
"Thanks for that" Grissom stood up to leave, but turned around when he reached the door, "how long do you think it will be before Lindsey can come home?"
"I would say, since she's of life support and respirator about a week."
"Thank you"
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
When Grissom arrived back at Lindsey's room he found her talking animatedly to Nick. None of the people in the room noticed him enter.
"Um, Hello"
"Oh hey Gris"
"Hi Uncle Grissom"
He could not avoid the subject any longer.
"Lindsey, your Mum was attacked at your house this afternoon. She was shot"
Lindsey's eyes filled with tears and Sara moved around to comfort her. Nick and Warrick continued to look at Grissom.
He repeated what the doctor told him. After this the group sat or stood in silence, apart from Lindsey who was hiccuping.
"Lindsey should be released in a week"
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
One weeks later...
"Well, Lindsey your room is down the hall and to the second door on the left."
"Thanks Uncle Grissom"
"If you need anything, just ask"
"OK. But right now all I need is to go to sleep"
"Of course"
Grissom watched her go. It was amazing how much she looked like her mother. His musings were interrupted by the phone ringing... It was the hospital
