Chapter 3

A/N: Sorry it's short again, I'm trying to write as long of chapters as I can while also keeping up with "This Woman's Work". The reviews have been awesome. Thank you to all the AWESOME people who have reviewed-I hope you know who you are.

Greg and Grissom made their way back to Sara's room to check on her progress.

Catherine looked up at Grissom, tears streaming down her face.

"Catherine, what's wrong"?

"I'm sorry Gil, I'm so sorry". Catherine replied crying into Brass' shoulder.

"Jim"?

"They pronounced her 5 minutes ago". Brass replied.

"WHAT do you mean they pronounced her five minutes ago? I thought they had her stable"?

"Well, they do but there is no activity from her brain and she's on life support and it's not my decision to pull the plug, but mine".

"Why on EARTH did she pick you to make that kind of decision"? Grissom asked angrily.

"Honestly, I don't know but I agreed. She asked me shortly after Nick was abducted".

"Jim, you have to give me time with her before making your decision. Please Jim, just give me some time with her alone so that I can say goodbye".

Brass nodded in agreement.

Nick and Warrick went after Greg who took off after hearing the news. Brass was comforting Catherine who wasn't taking the news well and then there was Gil Grissom who they saw for the first time falling apart. They realized just how much he loved Sara Sidle.

Grissom entered Sara's room where the machines were softly beeping and he could see air being pumped into her artificially.

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

"My beautiful Sara, I never told you how much you mean to me. I'm a fool and a big asshole for how I treated you. I love you Sara, I love you so much and now you're being taken from me".

He picked up her limp hand and put it into his. He noticed she was cold to the touch so he got a blanket and covered her. He remembered when she wrapped him in one when he was following up on an experiment for a case. He did it for her even though he wouldn't admit that.

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Grissom just sat there her hand in his. He begged Brass for just a little more time saying that he wanted just one night with her and he once again agreed even though Sara didn't want that.

Grissom fell asleep. He had cried. He cried because the last time he talked to Sara they had a fight. He cried because he never got to ask her the question he wanted to ask her. He wanted to ask Sara Sidle out on a date but he never did.

Catherine entered Sara's room to see her boss and best friend asleep with his head on Sara's chest.

Catherine started crying again for like the fiftieth time in 24 hours. Catherine sat down in a chair behind Grissom and just watched them. Sara's machines were still beeping, yet something caught her eye that she just had to run and get a nurse.
