Gil ran to the nurses station, tears streaking his face.
"I...I need to see Sara Sidle...sorry Sara Grissom. She was brought in about ten minutes ago...a miscarriage?"
"Sir, right now she is in surgery, I can only allow family members into the waiting room up there."
"She's my fucking wife!! We just got married five hours ago!!"
The nurse looked up from what she was doing. "Congratulations !!!!!!!!"
Catherine had heard yelling and went to find where it was coming from. She rounded the corner and saw Gil, ready to pounce on the nurse.
"GIL!"
"Catherine, where is she? How is she? This is all my fault."
"They had to do a D&C. I don't know what happened. One minute we were talking and then she was passed out on the ground."
Gil noticed that Catherine's eyes were red and puffy. A protective hand lay across her own slightly swelled abdomen. Gil took Catherine into a big hug.
"Warrick drove me. He's parking the car right now. Tell me where she is."
Gil sat in the waiting room for an hour before the doctor came out. He said that Gil could go see his wife, he also apologized for the nurse at the front desk.
Gil walked into the small room and took in Sara's still, pale form. She was pretty doped up and would probably be out for the next couple of hours. He pulled a chair up to the side of the bed and took her hand in his. She looked so fragile. He soon fell asleep to the beeping of the monitor.
XOXOXOXOXOXOX
Sara slowly woke up but couldn't bring herself to open her eyes. Something was wrong and she thought that if she kept her eyes closed her feeling would bo away, but it didn't. As feeling started coming back to her she felt a dull throb in her abdomen, all the memories came back. The next thing she felt was a warm hand over her own.
She opened her eyes and gazed down at her sleeping husband. She smiled...He's my Husband.
Gently, she took her hand from his and began to softly stroke his hair.
Gil stirred and looked up at his wife...She's my wife.
"Hey. How are the twins? Who's watching them?"
"Nick took them and Lindsey back to your sisters place."
She smiled. "I always knew that when they met they would fall in love."
Gil, all serious said, "how are you? Do you know what happened?"
"I'm a little sore. I was really scared." she paused to take a deep breath. "Just before I was doped up the doctor told me that because of the complications with the twins, my uterus was basically destroyed. I will never be able to carry another baby." Slow tears traveled down her delicate face.
Gil choked back a sob. "Honey I'm sorry. Haven't you said that you want to adopt. We still have options. We can get a surrogate or something. Shit, this is all my fault, I never should have yelled at you."
"It's not your fault. This would have happened eventually anyways, the baby never had a chance. If anything I feel terrible. You almost lost a second wife on your wedding day."
"Don't talk like that Sara. We've been through so much together. Denial, DUI's, the twins, suspicion of murder. We got through all that and we will get through this. Now, do you want me to call Nick and ask him to bring the twins by?"
"No! Do you remember what you told me in the bathroom?"
"Yeah."
"I don't want them to see mommy like this." she paused "I suppose it's a good thing I changed into pants for the reception."
"Why's that?"
"My dress would have been ruined." Sara began to cry again "I know that I had just found out about the baby, but it was still there, growing inside of me."
Gil reached for her, carful of all the tubes hooked up to her. "We WILL get through this. I promise."
