I Need To Let Go
By: Anti Darth Ani
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for the writing itself. I don't know any of the CSI characters, although I would never pass up a chance to meet Eric, George, or Gary.
Author's Note: Part Three and the last part. I've had a lot of fun writing this, everyone! I hope you enjoy it because I've worked hard on it! Try listening to John Mayer while reading this last part. That's what I'm listening to right now. And I'm sorry, but I couldn't find the perfect lyrics to go with this last part. Instead, I've actually put in the words to a poem I wrote, titled Just For You. PLEASE DON'T STEAL THEM FOR YOUR OWN. Although, I doubt anyone will because they aren't THAT great ;) I hope you enjoy! You can find the whole poem on my account on fictionpress.com if you like it. So pull up a chair and put those drops in your eyes because here… we… go!!!
P.S. Thanks to all my wonderful reviewers and readers. A lot of you have said that I write this type of fan-fiction well, so I might write a little more Sara/Nick in the future. What do you think? More people write Sara/Grissom, which I find gross. His character is inhuman and he studies bugs for Christ's sake!!! Sara and Nick go so well together. It just makes sense!!!

Part Three
-----
The rain pounded down on the roof again. It had been raining nonstop ever since Sara had shown up at Nick's house the night before. When Sara opened her eyes, everything around her was pitch black. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the little amount of light coming from the moon that was still in the sky. All thoughts of time were gone and while Sara pulled the covers back up to her shoulders, all she could think about was the man sleeping next to her.
Just the thought of him sent a warmth to her cheeks. The whole events of the night before confused her, but she could accept it with everything else she had on her plate at the time being. Thinking about all the problems in her life, Sara was happy to just be able to relax for once. The things she had felt last night were still lingering in her mind and they sent a wave of anticipation through her of what was to come.
-----
It's that special kind of feeling
That you give to me
-----
She felt his grip on her stomach pull her back against his chest. When she didn't move and he didn't say anything, Sara figured that he was still asleep and unaware of what he had just done, not that it bothered her at all. Laying in his bed next to him, Sara felt safe from all evil and horrors. She sighed and ran her foot over his leg, causing him to moan lightly. Sara grinned and pulled his hand away from her waist, giving it a quick kiss before slipping out of the bed.
Sara walked over to his closet and opened the door. She put on the first oversized shirt she could find. She doubted he would mind much, especially since she wasn't wearing anything else besides it. Before she left the room, she picked up her cell phone off the nightstand and slipped out into the hall.
-----
It's the pride and joy of knowing you,
Whoever you may be
-----
Once she had closed the bedroom door, she flipped up the top and dialed the number Grissom had given her for the hospital. It rang four times before a receptionist finally picked up on the other end of the line. Sara asked to be connected to her parents' room. There was a pause while she was put on hold and during that time, the bedroom door opened. Nick walked out into the hall wearing only a pair of black boxers.
-----
You are kind and thoughtful;
That is who I see.
-----
Sara turned to face him when she heard the door open. She smiled at him in a small greeting. Nick didn't say anything, just kissed her passionately before walking on down the hall towards the kitchen. Sara didn't even register his father speaking on the phone while she watched him walk away. Her legs felt weak and she had to lean against the wall to keep from falling over. "Hello?" her father's hoarse voice called again.
-----
You love me for myself,
For who I am inside.
-----
Sara turned her attention back to her phone, "Daddy," she replied softly, tears threatening to unfold from her eyes. There was another pause on the other end and she wondered if he had heard her. She waited for a response, but none came. "How is Mom?" she asked. "Is she okay?"
Sara heard her father clear his throat on the other end. "She's in a coma right now, but the doctors are hopeful that she will make a full recovery. It's good to hear from you," he told her.
-----
You show me that you care for me
With feelings you can't hide.
-----
Sara smiled despite herself and wiped a tear away with her hand. "I'm sorry I didn't call you guys early yesterday. I got busy and I just couldn't call. I was so worried about you and Mom. How are you holding up?" she asked softly.
Her father chuckled on the other end of the line, "I was wearing my seat belt, so I'm surviving. A few broken bones in my hand, but nothing that won't heal in time. Doctors told me all I need to do is get a lot of rest and I'll be fine. How are you, darling? We haven't heard from you in a while."
Sara felt disappointed in herself when her father made this comment. "I'm hanging in there. Work's been tough the past few months," Sara paused when Nick walked back into the hallway. She lost her train of thought and smiled brightly at him.
-----
You say that when you brag about me
You fill up with pride.
-----
"So how about the other half of your life?" he father asked. "Is there anyone special in your life that you haven't told us about yet? Like a boyfriend or a fiancée, or hell, even a husband you forgot to mention on your last call to us?"
Sara smiled and tried her best to push Nick away when he leaned in to kiss her again. She swatted his arm away with her free arm, but when she turned around to walk away into the living room, he managed to snake his arms around her waist and pull her against him. He immediately began to kiss her neck. "Yeah, Dad, there is someone new in my life, but I don't know where we stand right now."
"But you're not married, right?" he questioned before he let out a small cough.
Sara blushed, "No, Dad, I'm not married as of right now. And I don't plan to be for a while."
Fed up, Nick took the cell phone out of her hand and put it against his ear, "I'm sorry, Sara's being called away by work, Mr. Sidle. She'll have to call you back a little later." The last thing her father heard was Sara giggling and he faintly heard her mention the name 'Nick' before the line went dead. When he hung up the phone, he shook his head and grinned, leaning back against the hospital bed and closing his eyes to rest.

Short ending, I know. But at least it's over. Hope you enjoyed. Review and tell me what you think of my ending, because I'm not that good at writing endings. Did you like it overall? I hope so!
