Chapter 23

Sara woke just in time for her to wake Danny up, make breakfast, pack Danny's lunch. After Danny was ready with his school bag he took his breakfast wth Sara.

"Mommy, I miss Uncle Nicky," said Danny while eating his pancakes.

"Me too, honey," said Sara.

"When he's going to come see us again?"

"I don't know."

"Can we go to Uncle Nicky's house for Christmas," asked Danny hopefully.

"Maybe," replied Sara.

"Come on mommy, I really want to see him."

"I'll think about it okay, now finish your pancakes or you'll be late for school," said Sara trying to change the subject.

"Okay, but you promise you'll think about it," asked Danny.

"I promise."

After they were done Sara cleared the table and set all the dirty dishes into the dishwasher. Finally she was done.

"Okay, Danny, let's go," said Sara.

They were about to go out the door when the phone rang. Sara wanted to just leave it but decided against it in case it was something important. So she picked up the phone.

"Hello," said Sara sounded irritated.

"Sara, it's Grissom."

Sara was surprised to hear from Grissom because she haven't heard form Grissom years ago. But she did gave him her number.

"Grissom, good to hear from you."

"Thanks."

Sara noticed that Grissom sounded weak and sad. She knew something not good was up.

"Grissom, what is it," asked Sara.

"It's about Nick," said Grissom. Sara started to feel sick at the pit of her stomach.

"What about him?"

"He had an accident, it's not looking good," said Grissom.

"What? What happened," asked Sara. She was trembling and tears were starting to form in her eyes.

"He had an accident on his way from the airport, the cab driver was drunk and they ran into a truck."

"Is he okay," asked Sara. Grissom could tell she was trying to hold back tears.

"He's in the ER, the doctor can't tell yet."

"Oh my god, this is all my fault," said Sara.

What do you mean?."

"Grissom, I'm going to be on the first flight to Vegas," said Sara ignoring Grissom's question.

"You're coming to Vegas?"

"Yeah, can you fetch me at the airport," asked Sara.

"Sure, what time,"

"I'll call you later," said Sara.

"Okay."

Bye Griss." With that Sara hung up, didn't even get a chance for Grissom to respond.

"Danny, go change your clothes, we're going to see Uncle Nicky," said Sara.

"Really?" asked Danny, didn't quite believing his ears.

"Yeah, go hurry up," said Sara.

"Okay," yelled Danny running into his room.

Sara called the Las Vegas Air and booked two tickets. After that she packed her and Danny's clothes with their necessary stuff. She decided to call Ken and Danny's school to explain the deal.

"Hey Ken, can I have a few days off," asked Sara.

"Yeah, you still have few weeks of vacation on the books, what's up?"

"It's Nick, he had an accident, I really need to see him."

"You okay," asked Ken concerned.

"Not really."

"He'll be okay, Sara," said Ken trying to console her.

"Ken, I really gotta go, I already book tickets for me and Danny to Vegas."

"Okay, if you need anything don't hesitate to call, okay?"

"Yeah, bye Ken."

"Bye Sara."

Sara hung up and Danny was already waiting on the couch.

"Mommy, you okay?" asked Danny noticing her mommy was sobbing.

"Yeah, come honey, we need to go now."

They took a cab to the airport because Sara did not want to waste time finding a place to park her car because she knew she was going to stay in Vegas at least a week. Then they arrived at the airport they had to wait for about an hour until it was time to board. That one hour was like years to Sara. All she wanted to do right then was to be at Nick's side and tell him her real feelings. Finally it was time to board. Sara was very relieved and Danny were very excited because it was his first plane ride.

Few hours later they arrived at the Las Vegas Airport. It was already afternoon and Grissom was already waiting. Sara had called him at the airport before they boarded.

"Hey Grissom."

"Hey, Sara, and who is this," asked Grissom looking at Danny.

"Hi, I'm Danny,"

"He's my son," said Sara.

"Your son? Why didn't you tell me? He's Nick's isn't he?"

"Uh….Grissom, can we talk about this later?" asked Sara. She was worried Danny would figure Nick was his dad and luckily he was busy with his gameboy. She wanted to tell him the truth but she wanted to do it with Nick.

Grissom took the hint and let it go for now.

"Okay," said Grissom starting the engine.

They drove off to the Desert Palms. Grissom knew Sara was worried and nervous about Nick. All the way she was fidgeting her fingers and wondering out the window.

"Are you okay, Sara," asked Grissom while they were at the hospital elevator.

"I'm just worried about Nick."

"What's wrong with Uncle Nicky," asked Danny who was holding Sara's hand.

"He had an accident, honey."

"Is he going to be okay?"

"I don't know."

"Don't worry, Danny, Uncle Nicky's tough," said Grissom.

"Thank you, sir."

"Call me Uncle Grissom, okay?"

"Okay," said Danny smiling at Grissom.

Finally they arrived at the floor of Nick's room was situated. They walked through the hallways and Sara could see all of her old friends in the waiting room. Catherine, Warrick, Greg were there. Sara felt bad because she did not want this reunion because Nick's life was in danger. Grissom noticed Sara stiffen looking at the gang so he put a comforting hand on her back.

"It's going to be okay, Sara," said Grissom.

"I hope so," thought Sara.
