Grissom rushed to the hospital. He rushed in and was directed to Catherine's room. He had left Lindsey in the care of Sara. "Oh god Cath don't leave me"
*You light me up and then I fall for you
you lay me down and then I call for you
stumbling on reasons that are far and few
I'd let it all come down and then some for you*
When he arrived at the room the doctor was waiting to talk to him
"Ms Willows has taken a turn for the worse. She had a seizure. It is common in coma patients but in the case of Ms Willows...The stitches in her lung released. She is having emergency surgery now. "
"But will she be OK?"
"She is taking one step forward and three steps back"
"Thank-you"
Grissom started to walk away but the doctor called him back
"Mr. Grissom you're listed along with Miss Willows as Ms Willows next of kin, I would be considering your options. If she comes out of this she won't be the same as before"
"You mean turning off her life-support?" He could not believe the doctor thought he would give up on her
"Yes"
"No, I couldn't do that"
*Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
pretty baby why can't you see
you're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
for you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
as long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby*
"It could be in her best interests..." but he could tell that it was no use. He could tell that Mr. Grissom's mind was made up.
Grissom turned and walked out of the room. His mind was reeling. How would it effect Lindsey? How would it effect the team?
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
He arrived back at his house Sara was sitting at the kitchen table finishing a report. When he entered she looked up.
" What happened?"
"Look Sara" Grissom replied feeling slightly agitated, "I don't really want to talk about it"
She looked at him intently for a minute
"She's gone hasn't she"
*And I know things can't last forever
but there are lessons that you'll never learn
oh just the scent of you it makes me hurt
so how's it you that makes me better*
"What! No"
She kept looking at him. "You know I'll find out eventually"
*Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
pretty baby why can't you see
you're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
for you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
as long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby*
He told her about Catherine's condition. Told her about his options.
"I don't know what to do Sara. I really don't" He finished
She thought about it for a moment
"Well firstly you have to tell Lindsey, see what she thinks. Then tell the team"
*Why can't you hold me and never let go
when you touch me it is me that you own
pretty baby oh the place that you hold in my heart
would you break it apart again... oh pretty baby*
"OK. But Sara. I can't do it."
"You have to do what is best for Catherine"
"I don't know what is best for Cath and even if I did I couldn't let her die"
"Look Grissom, you're not the only on who cares about Cath. We all do!" Sara was feeling exasperated.
A small voice called from the door way, "Uncle Grissom, Sara. What are you yelling about"
Grissom shot Sara an, 'it's all your fault' look and went to pick up Lindsey but she pushed him away. She walked over to Sara and climbed onto her lap.
"What's happened to Mummy? Why won't she get better? Is she mad at me?"
And with that she burst into tears and buried her face into Sara's chest.
*Pretty baby don't you leave me
I have been saving smiles for you
pretty baby why can't you see
you're the one that I belong to
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm
for you're the sun that breaks the storm
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound
as long as you keep comin' around, oh pretty baby*
