Chapter 5

When Sara awoke, she felt light, like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She felt safe and warm. As she came closer to consciousness, she realized that she was still in the arms of Gil Grissom. It was strange to her. Her mind did not know this man apart from any other, but her entire being, it felt, recognized him on a completely different level. She also felt that he did not tell her the entire truth about the extent of their involvement, because he was, after all, still sleeping in her bed, it had been 5 hours. Soon, she felt him stir and then wake. She looked at him looked right back. They both knew that they should say something, but neither quite knew what that was. At last, Sara smiled and spoke.

"Gil. Thank you… for staying with me… and for listening to me last night. It was really nice of you."

Grissom smiled as he got up from the bed. He straightened his rumpled clothing and ran a hand through his tousled hair.

"That's what friends do. I, um better go home and change and wash up. I'll be back in a little while. Will you be okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Besides I'm figuring that they will bring me some of that famed hospital food sometime soon. So if you want, you can sneak me in a cheeseburger or something."

Grissom looked at her strangely for a moment, Cheeseburger? Then it occurred to him, Sara only became a vegetarian after staying up all night on the Kaye Shelton case with him watching a pig decompose. She forgot that she didn't eat it now. Sara saw that he was perplexed and asked what was wrong.

"Well it's just that you became a vegetarian about three years ago. We stayed up on a case watching a pig decompose and you never ate meat again. But um, if you still want it I will see what I can do?"

"Oh, well, ok, maybe that's why I am so pale, ha. But um, no, I guess if have a cheeseburger I'll be mad at myself later on when I get my memory back."

"So then I should bring you a salad?"

"Oh, that would be great Gil, thank you."

The next three days came and passed quietly. The doctors kept Sara in the hospital since they didn't know what was causing her memory loss. Sara had seen everyone, and they all did their best to try and jog her memory but there was no progress. Sometimes she would have flashes of pictures when she saw one of the team. She could only assume that they were pieces of memories but out of context the meant nothing. The night shift was starting to wonder if she would ever regain her memories. One night, Nick and Warrick decided that it would be good for Sara to get out and about, they asked her doctor if they could take her for a walk around the grounds outside. He said it was fine as long as they brought her straight back if she felt any weakness or dizziness.

That morning after shift, they went over to the hospital to surprise her with the outing. They walked in and Sara wrinkled her nose.

"Oh, Nicky, I told you, that shirt is hideous, why didn't you just burn it? I haven't seen it in years."

The guys stood there looking back and forth between each other and Sara, their mouths totally agape.

"Sara, you remember that?" Nick managed to stammer out.

"Yes."

The guys were stunned. The rushed over to her and grabbed chairs to sit down in. This was amazing news.

"You got your memory back??" Warrick asked

Sara sat for a moment, she appeared to be thinking, or remembering, trying to anyway.

"I remember telling Nick that shirt was awful. I remember asking him if he liked leather or lace, it was lace if I remember correctly. I remember rappelling out of a helicopter to a corpse that was liquefied in a bag with Nick-"

"Wait," Warrick interrupted, "All these memories are with Nick. I was standing right there when you made that shirt comment, do you remember that?"

"Ummmm, no actually, I only remember Nick."

"Oh man, this is too strange. You have your partial memory. You remember Nick and no one else. What the hell is with that?"

Nick still looked pretty pensive. Sara looked confused and Warrick still looked a little hurt.

"Sara, you and I have never really been in a fight or at odds for the most part. Maybe you remember me because I involve the least painful memories? Also, we're pretty tight, I mean, you're pretty much my best friend, aside from Warrick here, that is."

Sara and Warrick thought this over. It did make sense. She was always on pretty good terms with Nick. They were like brother and sister. Although she and Warrick had become close over the years, they started out very much at odds, hardly able to work together. They nodded their heads in assent. They called in the doctor to tell hi of this new development. He was as confused as they were. His recommendation was for Sara to speak with a psychologist. Sara wasn't too keen on this idea, but if it would help her get the rest of her memories back, then she decided it was worth a shot.

The next hardest thing would be telling Grissom.
