Author's Note: Parts of the last chapter were a bit unbelievable for real life but, this is fiction. I added it for dramatic effect. You'll see. Everything, in the end, will turn out. Sara is going to go through hell but, she's tough. She can handle it. : )

cherrydrops12 - I'll have majorly made up for it when you read the ending. Trust me. : )

jtbwriter - Yea, I know. Unbelievable. But, dramatic effect. : )

Hopeless-Savage - Thanks. Catherine is going to be really helpful to Sara in making it through such a hard time.

"Yea, I guess but it's so hard." Sara said.

"It's not meant to be easy."

"You're telling me." Sara said.

"Do you have a ride home?"

"I'm, actually on the job right now but, I was here to collect a rape kit from a victim."

"Ah, so you work at the crime lab?"

"Yea"

"Is there anyone you can call to pick you up?"

"Catherine." Sara said grabbing out her phone and calling her.

"Hello, Catherine?"

"Yea, is everything okay?"

"No, I need you to come pick me up"

"I'll be there as soon as possible." Catherine said.

She knew something had gone wrong and she was sure it was about Grissom.

"What happened?" Catherine said holding Sara in her arms consoling her like she would Lindsey.

"H-he said they don't know if he'll make it." Sara said.

"I'm sorry, I really am. He's such a good person and such a good influence in my life." Catherine said

"Here, I'll get that" Catherine said taking the rape kit from Sara's hand.

Catherine helped Sara walk out to her car and helped her in.

"Do you want to go back to the lab or do you want me to drop the stuff off and take you home?"

"I think it'd be better if I was around people right now, no telling what would happen if I was alone." Sara said.

"Are you hungry?" Catherine asked.

"No, I'm fine."

"You haven't had anything since shift started and that was awhile back."

"Cath. I'm fine." Sara said.

When they walked into the lab everyone knew what was wrong but didn't say a thing. Sara went to her office and looked through old case files they'd never solved. It was around 7:30; her shift was almost over and she started feeling sick. She got up to get to the restroom or, at least the trash can but, instead just puked all over the floor.

Then she realized 'I'm pregnant, with his child. My child won't even know his father' With that realization she broke down and, cried.

"Sara…" Catherine said then, noticed the puke on the floor.

"I'll be back." Catherine said going off the get some carpet cleaner.

"I'll clean it up for you" Catherine said.

"Sara…"

Sara just laid on her couch, still.

"Sara…" Catherine repeated.

After Sara didn't answer she went to go and check her pulse. There was a pulse but, a faint one. Catherine did a bit of CPR 'til Sara responded.

"What the f…" she stopped when she looked up and saw the carpet; it was ruined.

"Sara, it's okay."

"No, no it's not okay."

"You want to come home with me?"

"I…"

"I'm not taking no for an answer. I'll help you get your stuff." Catherine said.

She then went to Sara's locker and grabbed out a few clothes.

"Sara, are you ready?" Catherine asked.

Sara just nodded. When she got to her house she grabbed out Sara's things and went inside.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Lindsey asked.

"Nothing"

"What's that bag in your hand for?"

"Sara"

"Cool, Sara's here."

"Look, sweetie, Sara's having a really hard time right now; okay?"

"Okay"

"If you talk to her don't mention Grissom or her baby."

"Did she have a miscarriage?"

"No, it's about Grissom; I'll talk to you about it later."

Lindsey went back to her room and continued on her homework that was due on Monday. Catherine went outside to help Sara in and, talk to her once she was inside.

"Sara, do you want to talk?" She asked, once they were in the guest room.

"Not really." Sara said.

Catherine decided is would be best to leave her alone and let her gather her thoughts.

"Catherine…"

"Yes, Sara"

"Can you stay with me a while longer? I need some one here with me."

"Sure"

"How is Lindsey?" Sara asked.

"She's doing well; nothing big is going on right now."

"That's good" Sara said.

Then she burst into tears, the thought of a child reminded her of being pregnant which reminded her of Grissom.

"Sara, sweetheart, are you okay?" Catherine asked putting her arm around Sara.

"No, I'm not"

"Are you ready to talk about it?"

"No but, it's something I need to do."

"Whatever you want me to hear, I'll hear."

"I just don't know anymore, he's my whole life and now that I realize that I can't picture my life without him; he's gone."

"Sara, he's not gone yet"

"But, the doctor said his chances weren't good. Our child will never know his or her dad and, I'll never find another man as good as he is."

"Just because his chances aren't good doesn't mean he's not going to make it. I've seen worse recover." Catherine tried to focus on the positive but, it was hard.

She would, also, be badly affected if he died and, so would everyone else at the lab. Catherine and Sara talked for awhile, she tried to make Sara feel a bit better but, she knew that she need to get all of this off of her chest so she didn't change the subject. They talked and talk for a long time, it had been three hours and the both of them still had things to talk about but, they both needed their sleep. Especially Sara, some one in her state of mind needed sleep more than just about anything else. Catherine and Sara had both fallen asleep on the bed. Catherine at the foot of the bed curled up and Sara at the top clinging onto a pillow for dear life. As if the pillow resembled Grissom and, in a way it did. The way she tightly embraced the top and the way she gently held it to her stomach. For the first time in a while she looked near peace. Her whole body was in a rested state and her tears had long dried, leaving delicate streaks; being a mixture of blacks to purples to near whites. Catherine also looked at ease, she hadn't cried much so there weren't many streaks on her.

"Mom…" Lindsey said holding an open cell phone out.

"Who is it?" Catherine asked.

"Someone from the doctor's office, they said Sara didn't answer so they called you. It's something urgent."

"Does it have to do with Grissom?" Catherine asked taking the phone in her hand.

"Yea"
