The Sliver Lining ( part 2 / 2 )

Summary: Warrick's grand mother has an accident and Warrick rush to see her at the hospital ( Warrick / Sar )

Spoilers: Season 5

( Little Note : Thanks to all my reviewers, it's so good to read reviews from WarrickSara Lovers ! )

Both Sara and Warrick opened their mouths to say something but, before anyone could speak, the doctor arrived.

"Mr Brown?" he asked.

Warrick stood up. "How is she? Is it serious?"

"A broken arm and some bruising. Your grand mother is very lucky; she is a force of nature," explained the doctor with a slight smile.

"Exactly what I said!" said Sara. Warrick held her more tightly.

"She wanted to see you," the doctor added. "Room 203, the last on the left."

"Thanks, doctor." Warrick said.

"But only a few minutes," warned the doctor. "She needs to rest."

Warrick hesitated; he looked at Sara and then at the team.

"Go ahead," prompted Sara. "I think I can take care of myself for a few minutes." Sara smiled and Warrick nodded, returning the smile before he headed to Room 203.

"So, did you know Ms Brown well?" asked Nick.

"Who didn't know her!" Sara replied brightly. "Warrick introduced me to her at his neighbor's party. That woman is fantastic; she is an ideal grand mother."

"That's exactly what I said to her," replied Catherine. "She is so sweet and so great with Lindsey." And everyone seemed to agree.

"I'm so glad it's not serous; she is the only person in Warrick's family he has left," Sara added.

"Sara, you know what we're going to ask – and you know you'll have to answer it at some point – but what's going on with you and Warrick?" asked Nick finally.

"Sorry, but it's not me who should be talking to you about that, it's us," explained Sara.

But luckily for Sara, Warrick just came out of his grand mother's room, looking much more at ease.

"So how is she?" asked Catherine impatiently. But Warrick didn't answer her; he took Sara's arm and led along to her grand mother's room.

"She wanted to see you," Warrick said. "Go – before our visiting time runs out."

"Thanks," Sara opened the door, "But what will we say to...?" and she slowly looked at their friends.

"The truth." Warrick answered simply. "We couldn't hide anymore and I love you, you know. Do you?"

"Of course I love you too," Sara told him and looked at the door to Room 203. "I'll be back soon."

Warrick released her hand and she went in, shutting the door behind her. He stood and looked through the glass for a while as Sara kissed his grand mother's cheek and sat beside her. Then he turned back down the corridor towards the team.

"My grand mother is well," he told them with a relaxed smile. "You can all see her tomorrow if you want."

"Of course we want to," answered Greg with a little smile. "But will you explain to us or are you going to wait for Sara to come back?"

"No, I'll tell you," Warrick relented. "Sara and I have been together for six months now. Two months ago, when I realized it was serious, I introduced her to my grand mother."

"And us? When were you gonna tell us?" asked Nick.

"In a few days," Warrick assured him. "Now the team is separated, it couldn't be kept a secret anymore."

"I'm happy for you" said Nick lightly punched his arm.

"Take care of her," replied Greg with a grin.

"Wow – congratulations! I wish you the best of luck," answered Catherine, hugging him.

"Congratulations," said Grissom simply.

Just then, Sara returned with a small smile.

"Who would've thought your grand mother just had an accident!" said Sara. "She's still just as cheerful as ever."

"And so is Warrick," answered Nick putting his arm around Sara. "I'm happy for you."

"Not as happy as me" said Sara, with a broad smile.

"So, we can see her tomorrow, your grandmother?" asked Catherine.

"Yes, but I will stay a little more," replied Warrick.

"No, you won't!" said Sara. "I received some very strict orders from your grand mother: dinner, and not just a simple snack, shower, and rest. She wants to see you tomorrow, not before."

"But…"

"No buts! You don't want to angry two women. I promised her, and I always hold my promises," answered Sara taking Warrick to the exit.

"Don't worry, we can manage without you tonight," said Catherine.

"You see, we have some fabulous co workers and if you want, you could choose the food," Sara offered.

"Okay! I'm out-numbered!" sighed Warrick.

"The stomach of a man, it's sacred!" laughed Catherine.

"No, really Cath, it's because of the lady who'll be looking after me, not because of the food." Warrick told her, taking Sara's hand. Sara reddened and ushered him along to the parking lot while Greg and Nick whistled.

"You should avoid saying things like that," Sara warned him. "Nick and Greg'll bring it up every few minutes."

"No they won't," answered Warrick kissing her. "'Cause I'll be there."

And she smiled briefly, turned the key in the ignition and drove the Tahoe out from the Desert Palms parking lot, back home.
