Summary: Nick finds out what's wrong with Sara and almost breaks down himself.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything CSI related except for seasons 1-4 on DVD oh and my hermit crab named Grissom.
A/N: My wish for Christmas-tickets to a Cubs game sitting next to Billy and his wife beers all around lol! Maybe, seeing Billy throw out the first pitch again or singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame".
Nick and Sara had stopped at a beautiful park that had a lake. Nick had come to this park a few times when he needed to think and just be alone. They sat on a blanket that Nick put down for them.
Sara looked at Nick. She gently caressed his face with her hand trying to hold back a fountain of tears that were about to spill from her eyes.
"Nick, if I tell you what's wrong you have to promise me you won't tell anyone else, until absolutely necessary".
Nick hesitated. "Alright, I promise".
"I'm sick; I have Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia or ALL. I've been doing ok, well at least up until now".
"What can I do"? Nick asked trying not to cry.
Sara sighed.
"I can't ask of you what I need".
"Bull, what do you need? I'm your friend and I'll be damned if I let my best friend and the woman I love have some disease kill her". Nick said getting upset.
"What"? Sara asked shocked.
"What? What"? Nick said.
"You said something about the woman you lo—love".
"Yes, that would be you. I love you Sara Sidle and I'll give you anything you need".
Sara just looked at Nick.
"You love me"?
"Yes, I love you. I love you with every fiber of my being".
Sara got up and ran towards a small bridge.
"Sara! Sara please come back"! Nick called after her.
When Sara reached the bridge she finally let out all the tears that had been building up all this time.
"Sara, please talk to me". Nick said finally catching up with her.
"Why do you want to love someone who's going to be dead in a few short months? WHY? Why Nick"? Sara said crying uncontrollably finally collapsing in his arms.
"Sara? Sara? Oh, God Sara I'm taking you to the hospital"! Nick said picking her up and running her back to the Denali.
