Chapter Seven

Sara was laying in a hospital bed. She was stirring from her sleep, she couldn't recall how long she had been asleep, for all she knew it could have been a few hours, or it could have been a few weeks. All she remembered was seeing Nicks heart monitor show his pulse again.

Sara shot up in her bed, she needed to see him, she needed to know he was alright.

She needed to know he was still alive.

Sara was getting out of bed when she heard two familiar voices walking towards her hospital room.

"I really think she is going to wake up today, I can feel it."

"I hope your right, she has been in that state an awfully long time."

One voice Sara recognised as Greg Sanders her trusted best friend, the other she made out as Catherine, her mother figure.

Sara was sitting up in her bed when the two familiar voices entered her room.

"Oh my God Sara your awake, come on lay back down Greg get Dr Mathers, quickly."

Greg ran out of the room, sprinting down the corridor.

Catherine was pushing Sara back down into her bed.

"Please Sara, you need your rest." Catherine was trying to be motherly towards Sara, it wasnt working.

"Catherine if you don't mind i need to see Nick, make sure he is ok, its nothing against you honest."

Catherine looked deep into Sara's eyes. She knew that Sara needed to see him, Catherine knew she would feel the same if it was Warrick in that hospitial bed.

"Ok Sara, we will take you to Nick, just after the Dr has looked you over to make sure you are ok, please, we dont want you collapsing again."

Sara looked at Catherine she knew that Catherine was talking sense the last thing she wanted was to collapse and regain conciousness again the way she did before.

Sara laid back down in her bed, waiting for Greg to arrive with the Dr. Sara had never been so anxious to see Nick than she was in the last few moments, she had to tell him that she was ok, she had to tell him she was pregnant.

Half an hour later Sara was given the all clear by the Dr even though he still wanted her to stay in overnight, Sara accepted that and agreed, but she had to see Nick.

Sara was putting on her dressing gown when the last person she wanted to see walked into her room.

Catherine had left Sara, she had been called out to a crime scene, Brass said it was urgent, Greg on the other hand, had gone to get a cup of coffee and to check on Nick. Leaving Sara alone with Grissom.

"Sara, they said you were awake, are you ok?"

Sara looked at Grissom with the same piercing eyes that she had used the day she collapsed, she wasn't ready to speak to him. Not yet.

"Grissom not know please i am on my way to see Nick, you know Nick, the man i love."

Grissom could sense the anger and sarcasticness in her voice he knew that he had hurt her by saying what he did, and he knew it was going to be a while before she forgave him, if she ever did. But he needed to speak to her now and he wasnt going to let her leave untill he had said his bit.

Grissom walked in the way of Sara's path, blocking her in her room. Her ushered her towards her bed until she was sitting. He walked backwards towards her door, keeping his eyes on Sara the whole time. He locked the door. She was trapped.

On the other side of the hospital Nick was waking up from his nap to see Greg starig at him excitidly.

"Yo Greggo why you so chipper?" Nick said yawning, he had been dreaming of seeing Sara for the first time since the whole fiasco happened.

Greg looked at Nick.

"Shes awake, Sara's awake!"

Nick leaned forward quickly, jumped out of his bed, threw on his robe, and bolted for the door. He needed to see her as much as she needed to see him, but he was unaware of what had taken place between her and Grissom when his life was on the line, he was unaware of the events that were unfolding in her room.

Sara looked at Grissom.

"Please Grissom let me go you can't keep me in here, i won't let you!"

"Sara you can leave, after we have spoken." Grissom said this with an ounce of terror in his voice, he was intent on making himself heard.

He stood infront of Sara, looking deep into her eyes.

"Do you love me Sara? you answer me this and i will let you go."

Sara answered. "No, no i don't, i love Nick and we are going to have a baby, so please let me go!"

Grissom looked at Sara, his face had changed, Sara didnt recognise him anymore. He looked tired, drained, he looked almost dead. He scared Sara.

Grissom leaned towards Sara's ear and spoke softly.

"If i can't have you...no-one can, especially Nick, he doesnt deserve you!"

Grissom looked at Sara the way that only she had seen crazed killers look.

"LET ME GO!" Sara was screaming she was terrified.
