-1I Don't

Sara took her place next to Hank. He smiled quickly at her as the minister entered. Glancing quickly to the team, Sara noticed none of them were smiling. In fact, Grissom had his nose in a book, Catherine was looking uncomfortably at the clock, and Warrick was taking interest in his shoelaces. Nick sat in the very back, and stared angrily at Sara and Hank. It upset Sara even more that Greg had to leave. Only half of her believed that he hadn't been feeling well. She lightly touched the necklace he gave her. She realized that Hank never called her special, never begged her not to do something because he loved her too much. Greg cared.

"Are we ready to begin?" the minister asked, breaking her thoughts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once at home, Greg threw himself on his bed and sobbed uncontrollably. He buried his face in his pillow as his whole body shook with sobs. Rolling onto his back, he wrapped his arms around his stomach. All the shaking made him sore. He slowly got off his bed and stumbled towards the bathroom. He passed a picture of him and Sara that he still had on his dresser. Suddenly the thought of losing her made him sick, and he found himself on his knees at his toilet.

Once he was done, he stumbled to his sink. He pulled out his bottle of painkillers and took two. After swallowing the two pills, he leaned against the wall and sighed. The bottle was still in his hands. He stared at it long and hard.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hank, do you take Sara to be your lawful wedded wife?" the minister asked.

Hank smiled and nodded. "I do."

"Sara, do you take Hank to be your lawful wedded husband?"

Sara stared at the minister. This is it, what do I do? What if Greg's right? Am I making a mistake?

"Miss Sara?", the minister questioned.

What do I do? Greg or Hank? "I…I…". Greg… "I don't. No, I don't".

"What!" Hank asked. He stared at Sara in shock. So did everyone else.

Sara looked Hank in the eyes. "I said no. I won't marry you. You don't care about me, and you probably don't love me half as much as Greg does!"

Hank grinded his teeth. "Damn Sanders, I'll kill him!"

"You won't touch him!" Nick said, coming to stand by Sara.

"You've caused him enough pain," Catherine added.

Sara turned to Catherine. "Get me out of this dress, I want Greg."

"I'll drive," Nick said, following the women.

"This isn't over, Sara! You will marry me, I'll make sure of it! And next time, I'll make sure Greg doesn't interfere!" Hank shouted.

"Get out," Warrick said, coming face to face with Hank. He was soon joined by Grissom.

"Sara deserves Greg, and don't you do anything to try and stop them," Grissom said. The two men left, leaving a stupefied Hank standing at the alter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greg sat on the floor trembling. He couldn't believe what he had just done. He whimpered as he stared at the empty pill bottle on the table. I don't wanna die…Sara needs me…oh, God, I don't wanna die! He jumped slightly when he heard his doorbell.

"Greg? Greg, let me in!" Sara yelled from the outside.

"Sara?" Greg choked out, pulling himself up on the couch. The pills were starting to work, and he was terrified.

"Greg! Are you ok?"

"No!" Greg cried out. He looked up when Sara suddenly burst through the door, closely followed by Nick. "Sara!" Greg sobbed. He inched forward and collapsed into her arms. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Greg?" Sara asked shakily as she clung to Greg's shaking body. She watched Nick walk over and pick up the empty pill bottle. "Oh my god."

"I'm calling 911," Nick said, running to the phone.

Sara dragged Greg into the bathroom and threw open his medicine cabinet. She yanked out a bottle and took out a pill. "Take this," she said, practically forcing the pill down Greg's throat. Greg lurched forward and Sara set him in front of the toilet. She rubbed his back as he vomited violently. When he was done he cried lightly, sinking weakly back into Sara's arms. "It'll help to clear out some of your system," she said, wrapping her arms around Greg.

Greg nuzzled his head into her shoulder. "I just couldn't do it anymore," he said quietly. "I couldn't stand seeing you with Hank."

Sara smiled softly. "I didn't marry him," she said. "I decided I'd rather be with the one I really love, you." She kissed him lightly on the cheek. "If you'll still take me."

Greg pressed closer to Sara, wrapping his arms around hers. "Oh, Sara, I never stopped loving you." He looked up when Nick entered.

"The ambulance is here," Nick said, kneeling next to Greg. "How are you feeling?"

"Like an idiot," Greg said as he tried to sit up. Groaning, he fell back as pain shot through his stomach.

"It's not all out of his system yet," Nick said. He stood as two paramedics entered with a stretcher. "C'mon, buddy," he said, helping Greg onto the stretcher.

"I'll ride with him," Sara said as they approached the ambulance.

"I'll meet you there," Nick said. "Should I call the others?"

"No," Greg groaned, shaking his head. "No, don't."

"Ok," Sara said, taking Greg's hand in hers. She ran her other hand through his hair as the ambulance sped away.

"Sara, please don't leave me," Greg said, gripping her hand tighter.

Sara leaned in and kissed him lightly. "I'll never leave you again."
