Catherine sat up in her hospital bed starring at Gil Grissom. Neither of them spoke a word.
"Where is she?" Catherine said to the man sitting next to her as she tried hard to remember him.
"Where is who?" Gil replied making a face
"My daughter you said I had a little girl named Lindsey, Where is she?"
Gil smiled " She is with her father, your ex-husband Eddie" he made a face when he mentioned Eddie
"You don't like him" she smiled at Gil when she saw the face he made.
"No it's not really that but he hurt you really bad when you were married and I just, I can't forgive and forget like you can."
"How old is she?" Catherine paused "Lindsey my daughter how old is she?"
"She's nine her birthday is in two weeks so ten I guess," He smiled "She is an amazing little girl, just like her mother, amazing and kind and smart, just like her mother."
Tears came to Catherine's eyes " How am I supposed to take care of her when I don't even remember who she is or who I am, or." Gil cut her off
"I am going to help take care of her with you just like we planned." he sighed and moved closer to her taking her hand in his " We will get through this and you will remember eventually, we will work at it, the doctor said that this won't be permanent."
"So Gil is it? You said we work together: What do we do?" she questioned him pulling her hand from his grasp and pushing the hair out of her face.
Gil smiled at her " We work for the Las Vegas Police Department: We investigate crimes, like"
Catherine cut him off " Like crime scene investigators? I'm a crime scene investigator. Wow. So I like touch dead bodies and stuff?"
Gil made at face at her when she spoke, Lindsey talked like that all the time. " Yes dead bodies, the whole nine yards" Catherine looked at him with a disgusted expression on her face "Ewwww that's so weird" She paused " And I like my job?" she said glaring at him with a bit of disbelief in her appearance.
"Yeah as far as I know the only complaint was not being able to really see Lindsey, but I promised we would work on that and well we will" Gil paused " I guess I should call the others, they are probably wondering where I am, I just left work in a hurry with out saying anything."
Gil got up to use the phone on the other side of the hospital room.
"Gil" Catherine whispered with uncertainty in her tone " No more visitors today okay, my head hurts already, and I am really tired"
Gil stopped short of the phone and turned around " Okay I will tell hem not to visit tonight, you get some sleep I am going to use the phone at the front desk, and I will be back. Is there anything you need?"
"Will you be here when I wake up?" Gil paused for a moment and responded
"Do you want me to be here when you wake up?"
Catherine nodded her head yes " And Lindsey to, I guess I should meet her ASAP" Catherine smiled at Gil and laid back down closing her eyes.
Gil walked to her bedside and gently kissed her forehead, " I love you Catherine" he whispered, " I just hope that everything will be okay between us" With that a tear fell from his eyes and he walked out of the room.
