Summary: Sara goes in for her 4 week check up and ends up getting a big scare.
Rating: PG
A/N: The title is dumb but I couldn't really think of anything.
It had been 4 weeks since Sara's last check up and she was due for another. Everything had come up clear on her tests and she was well into remission.
The doctor had even given her the go ahead to have children, but not to be discouraged if nothing happens right away.
"Hey Cath". Sara said smiling.
"What's got you smiling so big, besides your hot man"?
"I got the ok for Nick and I to try and have a baby".
"Before you're married"?
"Not necessarily, but we're getting married in a few short weeks".
"Well, that's great I'm so happy for you".
"Doc also said not to be discouraged if something doesn't happen right away. With all the chemo treatments it did a number on my body, but he said it's healed enough where we could try".
Catherine gave her a smirk.
"As, if you've haven't been already".
"Ha! Ha! Catherine, that's just a little too personal to share with you".
"We're both women, we're supposed to share these things".
"I suppose you share with Grissom that last time you had sex"?
"As, a matter of fact yeah I did share that with him".
Sara just looked at her.
"He was doing my evaluation one time and I got upset and told him to write down that I haven't had sex in 7 months".
"That drought's gone though now, isn't it"?
Catherine just smiled.
"You better believe it".
Sara just laughed.
"I'm off tonight for my 4 week check up, so I'll see you later maybe"?
"I'm off too, call me when you're done we'll have dinner"? Catherine asked.
"Yeah, sounds good". Sara replied
"Good luck Sara".
"Thank you Catherine, you're a great friend".
Sara went to her doctor appointment and for some reason she was nervous.
She didn't know why since she had a clean bill of health 4 weeks ago.
"Hi Sara how are you feeling"? Doctor Skoda asked.
"I'm great Emily and you"?
"I've been good, thank you".
Emily looked at Sara for a moment.
"What's wrong"? Sara asked.
"Well, I found a bump on your stomach so I ran some tests. They won't be back till later tonight and so I don't want to worry you anymore than I have to".
"What do you think it is"? Sara asked.
"I don't want to jump to any conclusions but it is possible for the cancer to spread- -"
"In other words, I may be out of remission already"?
"I'm sorry Sara".
Sara tried to hold back her tears but she couldn't anymore.
"Sara can I call Nick for you"?
"He's at an entomology conference with my boss and won't be back for a few days".
"Ok, is there someone else I can call"?
"Um, I'm not sure". Sara said breathing harder than normal.
"Sara, I need you to calm down before you pass out or something".
"Can you call Catherine Willows"?
"Of course, do you have her number"? Emily asked.
"578-9012".
Emily called Catherine and explained the situation.
"Tell her I'm on my way". Catherine said trying to keep her cool".
Catherine arrived and Sara was sitting on a bench crying.
"Sara what happened"? Catherine asked running over to her hugging her.
"I might be out of remission; or rather the marrow I received from Nick might not be working".
"Oh God, Sara I'm so sorry. I should call Nick and Gil".
"No, I don't want to worry Nick unnecessarily. If he finds out that I'm sick again he'll completely fall apart and I don't want that".
"He loves you so much and he'd do anything for you".
"That's what I'm afraid of". Sara said leaning into Catherine'
"C'mon I'm taking you back to my place you're going to stay with me until the guys get back". Catherine said helping her up off the bench.
Sara didn't bother protesting.
When they got back to Catherine's Sara went into the guest bedroom for awhile. Catherine thought she was sleeping until Sara came out a little while later.
"You alright honey"? Catherine asked trying to hold back her own tears.
Sara handed her a piece of paper.
"What's this"? Catherine asked.
"Just read it"
Catherine started to read the document and it read:
Last Will And TestamentI, Ms. Sara Sidle, residing in Las Vegas, in the State of Nevada, United States of America, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all prior Wills and Codicils.

Testator's Last Will & Testament, in the presence of us, both present at
the same time, who, at the Testator's request, in the Testator's presence

Witnesses.
Catherine just looked at Sara in shock.
"I can't sign this, not now".
"Why not"?
"You're not going anywhere Sara Sidle".
"You can't make that call Catherine I mean I could die in my sleep tonight".
Catherine just shook her head.
"Please Catherine I need to do this for my own piece of mind"
"I'm calling Nick". Catherine says grabbing her phone.
"No, he doesn't need to know about this, not right now anyways".
Just then the phone rang.
"Catherine this is Emily Skoda from Desert Palm".
"Hi Emily, sure she's right here". Catherine said handing the phone to Sara.
"Hello"? Sara said fear evident in her voice.
"I have good news for you Sara, really great news".
Sara lit up in a big smile.
"Oh, God I don't know what to say but, thank you, thank you so much".
Catherine looked at Sara in confusion as Sara sat there crying.
"What is it"? Catherine asked.
"I'm still in full remission".
"What was the bump on your stomach"?
"It's the best possible thing in the world". Sara replied.
A/N 2: I think I made it a little to obvious as to what it is and I'm sorry for that.
