Author's Note: This is chapter 29 as you can see. This means one more chapter. Then sequel. I've gotten an offer for some help and I'd love to accept it. Anything to make it better. Plus I don't have much time to add in the minute details. I really think you guys (and girls) are going to love the ending. It's lovely. I'm going to add in some details to it to make it better though so it might be Thursday before I can get it up. Sorry. I really wish I had a laptop. I'd get so much more done. Here's to my reviewers.

jtbwriter - You'll see. The story has indeed slowed down but, there's not much more excitement. It's mellowing down for a soft ending.Which, I think is nice. You'll like that turn of it.

Hopeless-Savage - I do that to keep people interested. Sorry. You'll soon see, like this chapter, soon.

Sidle Chick - What's going to happen? Hmm...I could tell you but, I think it'll be more fun for you to read.

cherrydrops12 - I'm having Sara's moods happier and she'll soon be very happy.

Madame Lulu - Actually I don't mind. I like your honesty. I cannot get better without knowing where I need improvement but, I think you'll see that after chapter 4 things do get a lot better. I was lazy on the beggining. I would definitely like to have some help. I don't have a lot of time so any help would be good. Thanks for the offer.

MyBella131 - I really don't like cliffhanger but, as I've said I think it leaves the person wanting more so they keep reading to find out even if it's just curiosity and soon they're hooked. Grissom will eventually be okay. I won't kill off characters. I don't think it's right. Not even Ecklie. Only becuase he adds drama and spice. He stirs things up a bit. I wont use him much though.

"Sara, get in the car." Catherine said hanging the phone.

"Is it something with Gri…?"

Before she could finish Catherine interrupted

"I'll explain the car. Lindsey you too." Catherine said hurriedly.

"Okay" they both said.

They all quickly filed into the car and Catherine took off.

"Sara, the hospital called your phone and since you didn't answer they called mine and Lindsey heard it." Catherine said.

"What did they say?" Sara said, tears swelling up in her eyes as she gripped tightly on to the teddy Lindsey gave to her.

"They just said it was an emergency and Sara needed to try and get there ASAP." Catherine said.

That was the straw that broke the flood gates (actually camel's back). Tears streamed down her face 'til there were no more tears left to cry.

"Sara, don't cry." Lindsey said reaching out to wipe the remaining tears from her face.

"I-I" Sara tried to say.

Then they arrived. From the moment they walked in Sara had a bad feeling; she could just feel that something was wrong.

"Sara" Doctor Simmons said.

"Yes" she replied.

"I don't know how to tell you this but, he's slipped a bit more. We don't think he's going to make…" he said.

"What happened?" Sara interrupted; barely able to speak.

"His pulse is weakening and his heart is also weakening." Doctor Simmons said.

"He needs a transplant?" Sara asked in shock.

"Not at this moment."

"Then what the hell is wrong!" Sara said nearly shouting.

"He's weak, he may slip into a coma but, we think he'll pull out of a coma if he slips into one; other than that we don't know what else could happen."

"Is there a chance he'll be fine?" Sara asked; now calmer but, just as upset.

"There's still a chance he'll pull out of all of this and be just fine but, more than likely recovery will take some time; there's also a great chance he may not, uh, make…uh, it." He said.

Sara let out a soft whimper and reached out towards where he was kept.

Then Lindsey walked up behind her.

"Sara, don't cry" she said putting her arm around Sara and giving her a big hug.

"I'll be okay." Sara lied.

She knew Lindsey wouldn't know, though she did.

"Lindsey, sweetie, I think we need get home, I've got to get to work tonight." Catherine said.

Once inside the car Catherine handed Sara a tissue so, she could finally wipe the tears from her face and eyes.

"Sara, are you going to go in tonight?" Catherine asked.

"Yea, I think so." She replied.

"Are you sure?"

"Yea, I need to do something to take my mind of off this. Who's working trace tonight?"

"Greg"

"Okay" Sara said.

A few moments later they pulled up at Catherine's house. An hour later they left, taking Lindsey with them.

"Who's this? A new lab tech?" Greg joked.

"I want to help too." Lindsey said.

"Here, look through here and tell me what you see." Greg said pointing to a microscope.

"It's a hair."

"What type of hair?"

"A thick, short, brown hair."

"Good job." Sara said.

"You working trace tonight, Sara?" Greg asked.

"Yea, I don't think it would be good for me to go out into the field tonight. I just came from the hospital they said he wasn't doing good at all."

"I'm sorry." Greg said.

"Thanks" Sara said.

"Greggo, I have some fibers and an un-identified object." Warrick said.

"Hey, Sara. How are you holding up?" He asked.

"Not too good but, there's still a bit of hope." She said.

"And look here, another new lab tech." Warrick said to Lindsey who ran up and gave him a big hug.

"How are you, cutie?" He asked.

"I'm doing pretty good." She said.

Then Catherine walked in.

"Warrick, autopsy. Remember?" she said.

"Oh yea, Sara, Greg, Lindsey; I'll see you guys later."

"Bye" the three of them said.

"So, autopsy, this early?" Warrick asked Catherine as they walked down the hall.

"Oh yea, thought I'd give you a run for your money today." Catherine said; winking at him.

"And, I thought you were the nice one." He said back, flashing his beautiful smile.

"Hello you two." Doctor Robbins said as they walked in.

After the autopsy Catherine went to check on Sara to make sure she was still holding up okay.

"You guys seem to be having fun." She said.

"Guess what? I'm beating Greg." Lindsey said holding up her game piece.

"Well, I'm beating you now." Greg said, defensively.

"Not for long" Sara added.

"So, I'm guess you all have finished processing the evidence?" Catherine asked.

"Yea" Sara said.

"I did one." Lindsey said, proudly.

"And, what's that?" Catherine asked.

"That brunette hair." She said.

"You guys want something to eat?" Catherine asked.

"Sure." Sara said.

Catherine ordered a pizza and invited Warrick and Nick to join as well.

"So, Nicky, how's that girlfriend of yours?" Sara asked.

"Oh, you mean Mary-Anne?" Nick said.

"Yea"

"We broke up."

"Sorry to hear that bud." Warrick said.

"It's no big deal, not anymore." Nick said.

"How are you and, the other Sara, Greg?" Catherine asked.

"We're doing great. Been together over five months." Greg said, proudly.

"That's great." Warrick said.

"Now, that we're talking relationships. How about you, Catherine? Got a guy, anyone in mind?" Nick asked.

"There's someone I've got my eye on." She said winking at Warrick, who was also single.

"Who is it?" Lindsey asked.

"I think he knows." Catherine said, again and winked at Warrick.

"It's Warrick" Nick said.

Catherine, then, looked over at Nick and held a finger over her mouth implying for him to 'shhh' and also implying it was true.

"I knew it." Warrick said.

"How could you not?" Sara added.

"Hey, us, guys aren't so perceptive on those hints you girls give." Nick said.

"Then you should learn." Catherine said.

"Results!" Greg said quickly.

"Huh?" Lindsey said.

"DNA results, unknown female sample compared to suspect. It's a match!" Greg said.

"Case closed" Nick said, happily.

"Hey, I'm not feeling too good." Sara said, heading for the restroom.

"Ah…" Catherine said looking down at her watch "The morning joys of being pregnant."

Last Chapter next! I'm just as excited as you guys (and girls) are. Probably more so. I've had it written for a while. Leave reviews! The more reviews the quicker I get the last on out and start the sequel. : )
