I just want to say thank you to all of you that have read and reviewed my story. I'm glad that you all enjoyed it. This is the last chapter.
I stepped into the hall of the doctor's office and made my way over to Grissom and Warrick. I smiled at them. "Thanks for coming." I replied.
"How did your session go?" Grissom asked.
"Good. I've gained some weight."
"That's great Sara." Warrick said and gave me a hug. "You've been doing well these past couple months."
"Thanks."
"Have you heard from Nick?" Grissom asked.
"He called this morning apologizing for missing my appointment."
"Yeah, but his parents really needed him." Warrick replied.
I nodded. Nick's mother had called Sunday and told him that his father was really sick and that she needed him to come home. He was more upset that he was going to be leaving me alone than he was for his dad. Nick's been to every meeting with me for the past two months.
"How's his dad doing?"
"Better. It turns out that he had a mild form pneumonia."
We began walking to the cars. "Hey Grissom. I know that you're shorthanded without Nick and I there. So I was wondering if I could come in tonight and help?"
Grissom stopped walking and turned to face me. "I don't know Sara."
"Come on. I'm doing a lot better. I'm eating, gaining weight, and I'm mentally stable."
Grissom took a deep breath. "All right. Here's the deal. You can come in and work on paperwork. If we have a big case then you can help out."
I smiled and hugged him. "Thanks so much."
"Don't make me regret it."
"I won't." I pulled away and flashed him a smile. "I'll see you tonight."
"Okay. Bye Warrick."
"Bye Grissom." We reached Warrick's vehicle and got inside. He began driving toward my apartment.
"Hey Warrick."
"Yeah."
"I just wanted to say thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would have jumped off that roof."
"No problem. I'm glad that you're doing better." He reached over and squeezed my hand.
We pulled up in my driveway and I opened my door. "Thanks again War." I leaned over and kissed his cheek. "I'll see you tonight." I got out of the car and shut the door. I opened the door to my apartment and went inside. I decided that since I was going to be working tonight, that I should get some sleep. I made my way to the bedroom and shed my clothes. I grabbed one of Nick's college shirts and a pair of his boxers and put them on. I crawled in bed and tucked myself under the covers. Soon I was fast asleep.
Two days later, I was standing in the airport waiting for Nick's plane. I couldn't wait to see him. It seems like forever since he's been home. People started coming off the plane and I finally spotted Nick among them. He definitely saw me because all of sudden he had a huge grin on his face. He reached me and wrapped me in a hug.
"Hey sweetie."
"Hey. I missed you."
He pulled back. "I missed you too." He leaned down and kissed me. After a few moments, we broke apart. He wrapped his arm around me. "So, how have things been here?"
"Good. How's your dad doing?"
"He's doing a lot better. He says hi by the way."
We made our way to get Nick's luggage. "I'm sorry I missed your meeting today. How did it go?"
"Really well. Of course being able to go back to work is helping too."
"I'm glad. We were all really worried about you."
"I know you were. I'm glad that you guys didn't give up."
"We would have never done that."
"Sherry said that if I keep improving that my appointments would be dropped down to once a week."
"That's great."
"Yeah, well, I have a long way to go."
"You'll make it Sara."
"I know. I have you." I kissed him and wrapped my arms around him. The thoughts that I was standing in an airport vanished from mind. The only thing that I was focused on was the wonderful man in front of me. I knew that my battle was far from over but it didn't scare me. I had the best boyfriend and best friends in the world and that makes all the difference.
