Chapter 18
* In the Waiting room same time*
"Griss, do you think Nick will pull through?" Catherine asked as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"I don't know, but he better for Sara's sake. Did anyone call Nick's parents…again?"
"I think Warrick did, and they can't make it to Vegas both his parents are working and are extremely busy." Grissom mouthed 'oh'. They sat in silence for another few minutes, when Nick's doctor walked into the waiting room. "Doctor, any news?"
"Yes, he is awake, and currently making out with Sara Sidle." The doctor cringed, but had a look of jealousy in his eyes.
"Oh good, I'll go call Nick's parents, and then can we see him?" Catherine asked as she stood up.
"Yes, follow me." Grissom took Catherine's hand in his as they followed the doctor down the hall. She called Nick's parents as they walked. The doctor showed them into Nick's room and then left. The sound of the door opening and closing had no effect on Sara and Nick kissing, until Grissom coughed loudly.
"Well it's good to see that you're feeling better Nick." Catherine said grinning.
"Thanks Cath, it's good to be alive." He said as a hint of color reached his cheeks. Sara giggled and rested her head on his chest.
"Well Nick," Grissom started and wrapped an arm around Catherine's shoulder. "You certainly know how to get time off." They all laughed. "You know, you could have just asked, but hey everyone's different. The doctor said that you would be discharged in at least 2-3 days, so I'm giving you a week off."
"A week?!" Nick exclaimed throwing his hands up in the air nearly knocking Sara off the bed. "What am I supposed to do for a week?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure Sara will take good care of you, because I'm giving her the week off as well." This time Sara looked at Grissom in disbelief.
"Are you feeling OK Gris?" Grissom turned to face Catherine and smiled.
"Just fine."
