Chapter 12
Summary: Sara receives her test results-but someone else retrieves the message
A/N: The reviews have stopped and I am now unsure if I will continue after this chapter. If you are confused thus far, read my other story and hopefully you won't be confused anymore. Please let me know if I'm wasting my time. I don't have a beta so all mistakes are my own.
Nick walked in the door and saw that the answering machine was blinking.
He pressed play and heard, "Hi, this message is for Sara Sidle Stokes this is Nancy from Dr. Skoda's office and I have the results from your tests if you could please return my call at 690-1173 I would appreciate it".
Nick played the message over and over again not believing what he was hearing.
"Why would Dr. Skoda's office be calling Sara? Maybe, she missed an appointment for her monthly remission check-up or maybe—nah, she'd tell me if she were sick, wouldn't she"? Nick questioned himself.
Sara walked in the door to see Nick standing by the answering machine with an upset look.
"Honey, what's wrong"? She asked walking over and giving him a hug.
"Why don't you tell me"! He responded.
Sara looked at him confused.
"Ok, if I knew what this was about maybe I could". She replied
"Why did Dr. Skoda's office call you with test results"?
Sara knew she couldn't hide it from him for very long.
"Let me call her up and then I might be able to tell you".
Nick looked at her, "Where's JT"?
"Warrick took him to the park he'll be back in a couple of hours". Sara said reaching for the phone.
Sara called up Dr. Skoda and spoke to the nurse.
"Thank you Nancy". Sara said hanging the phone up.
"Sara, what is going on"? Nick asked starting to get worried.
"Um, I need to call Catherine I'll be out in a second ok"? Sara said grabbing the phone once again and going into the office that her and Nick shared.
"Sara"! Nick called out through the thick wooden door.
Sara dialed Catherine's cell phone her fingers shaking.
"Willows"!
"Cath, its Sara I got my results".
Catherine sighed, "What are they"?
"I'm out of remission". Sara said her voice quivering.
"Oh, sweetie I'm so sorry". Catherine said trying to hold back her own tears.
"I'm going to tell Nick, I have to".
"Are you sure you're ready for that"? Catherine questioned.
"I've never lied to Nick or kept anything from him so yes, I'm sure". Sara said as she cried.
"Would you like Grissom and I to come over"? Catherine asked.
"After I tell Nick, I'll call you". Sara replied.
"Ok, well I'm here if you need me".
"You can tell Lindsey and Grissom". Sara replied.
"I'm not sure that is my place".
"Catherine, you're my best friend and you're family so please tell them because as soon as you get off the phone Grissom is going to grill you anyways".
"Alright, I'll tell them".
"Bye, Cath"! Sara said before hanging up.
Catherine sat on the couch and started crying.
"Mom, what's wrong"? Lindsey asked sitting beside her.
Catherine didn't answer.
"Dad, something's wrong with mom come quick". Lindsey shouted.
&&&&&&&&&&&&
Sara came out of the office her eyes were puffy and red.
"Nicky, you better sit down". Sara said trying not to cry.
"Did you lose the baby or something"? Nick asked.
"No, the baby is fine. Nicky, I'm- - I'm sick again". Sara's voice said breaking.
Nick looked at Sara his lip quivering and tears forming in his eyes.
"No! NO"! Nick replied screaming throwing his glass across the room, shards of glass flying over head.
Sara finally broke down.
Nick grabbed Sara in his arms and held her.
Nick and Sara sat on the floor crying, crying until they couldn't cry anymore.
"Um, so uh what happens now"? Nick asked his voice still shaky.
"Chemotherapy and I guess the baby's survival rate is pretty high but I'll deliver at 37 weeks depending on how I do in chemo". Sara replied.
"We'll get through this, love and faith will get us through this". Nick said kissing the top of Sara's head warm tears splashing onto her dark hair.
