Lab

Greg saw, he ran and pushed the guy over, but the shot still hit Catherine, but in the shoulder. Greg wrestled him down, and held him there while other people went to Catharine's aid. Brass came and took the man.

"Greg, I'll get him, you follow Catherine to the hospital keep us posted," Brass said.

Greg stood up "Uh sure," he said and walked off to Catherine who was in the Ambulance.

"Sir are you related," paramedics guy asked.

"She's...She's my...uh....mom," Greg said, trying to say it not to suspiciously

"Oh okay," paramedics guy said. Greg hopped into the ambulance with Catherine.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Greg sat in the Ambulance with Catherine. Catherine slowly moved her other hand which wasn't hurt to touch Greg "Th...Thank You," she whispered. Greg jerked his head to face Catherine. Greg held her hand.

"Greg.......tell Gil...I..Love him and L...Lin...Lindsey too," Catherine whispered.

"Catherine no, you're strong just fight it," Greg said with silent tears falling down his face.

"Don't Cr...Y," Catherine whispered.

"Catherine you are like a mom to me, we can't loose you, me, Warrick, Nick, Sara, Lindsey, we all look at you like our surrogate mother," Greg said.

"I....I Kn...know, just Th...Thank Yo...You," she whispered and then passed out.

"Catherine wake up, wake up,"

"Sir, I think the anesthetic has set in," the paramedics guy said.

Greg just nodded his head, and stared back at Catherine.

Grissom and Warrick were at their scene when Grissom's phone rang.

"Grissom," he answered

"Grissom, it's Brass," brass called.

"And," Grissom asked

"one of Eddies friends, came into the Lab, requested to speak to Catherine..."

"Catherine is she okay? How about the baby," Grissom asked.

"2 shoots fired, aimed at her abdomen, Luckly she was outside Gregs Lab, Greg saw and pushed her over, so only 1 shot hit her in the left shoulder," Brass said.

"R...Really....Oh my god, what hospital," Grissom asked.

"Desert Plam, Greg's with her," Brass said.

"Uh okay, I'll be there if you need me, Bye," Grissom said and hung up. He sat down, his face pale.

"Uh Boss you okay," Warrick asked.

"Catherine was shot in the Lab, I need to go to desert palm," Grissom said, looking very pale to Warrick. Grissom got up and took his keys from his pocket.

Warrick caught his arm and said "you are in no shape to drive, I'll drive you man," Warrick said. Grissom accepted willingly.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Grissom and Warrick walked into the hospital to the reception.

"Uh, my wife, Catherine Grissom, she was shot, has she been in here," Gil asked.

"Yes, her son is in the watiting room," the receptionist girl said.

"Th...Thank you," Grissom said, looking at Warrick.

"Son," Warrick questioned.

They both walked to the waiting room, to see Greg sitting there.

"Greg, did you say you're Catherine's Son," Gil asked.

"Boss, I...I well they wouldn't let me into the ambulance so I said I was her son," Greg said. Grissom hugged him.

"Thank you Greg," Grissom said.

Greg just returned the hug looking at Warrick who smiled at him. Soon they were sitting down and watching TV. Then The Stokes family walked in. Nick carrying Joshua, Sara carrying a big 8 months pregnant belly and holding Lindseys hand.

"Hi," Nick and Sara said. Gil stood up.

"Hi," Grissom, Warrick and Greg said.

"Daddy," Lindsey said and ran into his arms. She sat on Grissom's knee.

"Brass told us about Cath," Nick said.

Nick and Sara sat down next to Greg, opposite Grissom and Warrick.

"Greggy," Joshua squealed, and hopped over to Greg.

"Hey joshy," Greg said.

Grissom's eyes were red and puffy, from crying.

"Thanks," he said.

"For what," Sara said. "All of you, for...for being here," Grissom said.

"Hey, Catherine's like our mom, you the dad, we're here because we love our mom and dad too," Sara said.

Grissom looked up, looked around, in a way Sara was right, Warrick Nick twin brothers, Sara the quiet and smart one, Greg and Lindsey baby of the family.

"Mr Grissom," the nurse called.

"That's me," Grissom said and stood up, "Lindsey stay here for a minute okay," he asked. "Yes dad," she said. He walked off to where the Nurse stood.

"Well, we were able to remove the bullet, but she lost a lot of blood, the baby is fine, she's sleeping now, you can see her," she said.

"Uh, just a minute," Grissom said and walked back to where his 'Kids' sat.

"Do you want to come see Cath," Grissom asked.

"You go ahead with Lindsey, we'll join you in a minute," Sara said.

"Okay, come on Linds," Grissom said and walked off with Lindsey.

They followed the Nurse to the room. She opened the door for them and they walked in.

"Daddy is mommy okay," Lindsey asked, walking closer to Catherine.

Grissom sat and stared at Catherine, she looked so pale, so weak, and so small.

Will Catherine get better? Does she wake up? I need reviews.................
