"Well that's it..im officially done physiotherapy" Grissom called as he walked into the townhouse.
"For your knee, but you still have go for your shoulder...and speaking of your shoulder, the doctor called, he wants to see you" Sara said as she placed a kiss on Grissom's lips.
"3 months of therapy for my knee, and now I'm just getting started on my 4 month with my shoulder. I have more important things to worry about than this" he said taking a seat on the couch.
"And what things would that be?" asked Sara as she sat beside him.
"Like taking care of you...getting ready for the baby..which we still haven't decided on a name".
"Grissom..I'm fine...the baby's fine. I'm concerned about you and how your doing. It's going to take time to heal. And don't worry about getting ready for the baby, Catherine and Warrick are coming over to help with the nursery so that you can relax" said Sara as she snuggled up into his arms.
"I know...whatever I can't do for this baby, I'll make sure I do for the next one" he said with a smile.
"Dr. Grissom are you already planning for more children?" asked Sara looking up into his yes.
"That's if the mother to be wants more...than yes" he said as he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Sara's lips.
"Dr. so what's the news that you wanted to see me?" asked Grissom as he took a seat along side Sara.
"The reason I called you in is because of your last surgery that you had on your shoulder. I know that this must be tough...and I don't know how else to put it..." he started.
"Put what?" asked Sara.
"The damage to your shoulder is worse than what we first thought 3 months ago. The muscle damage is severe and it's began nerve damage throughout your entire arm."
"That would explain why I can't feel anything with my arm. I thought you said that it would pass with the surgery" Grissom said.
"I did, but when we got in there, it wasn't a good as we had thought. You've been doingphysiotherapy for 4 months now and have made no progress."
"Meaning what?" asked Sara as she could feel the tears forming in her eyes.
"Meaning, that there's a chance that you may never go back to work in the field due to the fact that you more than likely will never gain strength or get use back in that arm. I'm sorry", the Dr finished as he could see the anger forming in Grissom's eyes.
"But there's a chance...a chance that I can still go back" Grissom asked.
"Honestly...it'd take a miracle" answered the Doctor.
Without saying anything, Grissom rose from his seat and walked out of the room.
"Doctor I'm sorry, thank you for your time", Sara said as she to rose from her seat.
"Miss Silde, he's going to need a lot of support from you and those around you. I know how much work means to him, but you have to show him that there are more important things than work...such as your baby" said the Doctor as he watched Sara smile and nod her head as she headed out the door.
"Grissom...Grissom" she called as she ran up to him.
Were you even going to wait for me?" she asked.
"I want to be alone right now Sara..just leave me alone" he said without even facing her.
"Are you going to go and sulk now...I know that this is hard..." she started but was cut off.
"Hard...you know that this is hard...you have no fuckin idea how hard this is. I was lucky enough to get my knee back into shape, thinking that I would be able to go back to work...but now their telling me I can't. So what's left for me..nothing. Don't tell me you know how hard this is" he yelled.
"Gil Grissom, there are more important things that work...you've over come so many obstacles why can't you just think of this as another" she yelled back.
"Obstacles" he questioned.
"Your hearing for one..Catherine didn't have to tell me, I could see it. But you had the surgery and you are doing fine. You knee is another...you've already over come that in record time and so what if this takes longer. Even if you don't get back in the field you have to look at what you have right in front of you" cried Sara as she fought the tears.
"What?" he asked.
"Me...you have me who's been by your side since day one and even though it took you forever to finally get your head out of your ass I still waited. Waited by your side, I've always been there for you...and now you have your unborn child to think about. Don't go and tell me that you have nothing left or say to me that it's hard. Do you have any idea how hard ithas been for me to see you go through all this, or how hard it was when I found out I was pregnant and than I thought I had lost you. Do you" she yelled.
After a moment when Grissom didn't respond Sara walked in front of him.
"When you find out what is more important to you...work or us...you let me know. Until than don't bother coming home", she said as she walked away, leaving Grissom standing in the middle of the parking lot.
