Chapter 5

Gil entered Sara's room once again and sat beside her.

A nurse was taking Sara's vitals and smiled at Gil.

"She's been asking for you".

"You mean she's conscious"?

"Yes, for a few minutes now. I'll be back later to check on Ms. Sidle".

"Thank you, nurse". Grissom replied smiling.

"Griss, is that you"?

"Hey there, you know you've had your husband and the rest of us all very worried about you".

Sara looked down at her stomach.

"She's ok she's in a private room now and Nick's with her".

"What happened"?

"You went into premature labor and for some reason they couldn't stop some bleeding and you fell into a coma as did Gracie, but you're both doing very well now and that's all that matters".

Sara looked up at Grissom who was trying to hide the tears in his eyes.

"Thank you, thank you for being there for my daughter, for me it means- - "

"You're my best friend Sara and you know I'll always love you". Grissom replied kissing her head.

"Speaking of love, have you proposed yet"?

"No, I was actually planning on that tonight with Lindsey there and everything and then—"

"Oh, I'm so sorry I went and ruined the whole thing by going into labor".

"No, its ok honey really. There will be other chances".

"I want you to go now and ask her, take her for coffee and then you can come back after you've had a shower and a change of clothes". Sara replied scrunching up her nose.

"Sorry". He replied with a smirk.

"What did you do, sleep in your clothes"?

"Actually, yes he did Sara and now I'm taking him home for that coffee and a change that you suggested". Catherine replied with a laugh as she walked into the room.

Sara smiled as Catherine bent down to give Sara a hug.

"I'm glad you're better, and let me tell you- you have one beautiful baby girl".

"Thank you, I'm anxious to see her".

"We'll come back later and if we don't we'll see you tomorrow". Grissom said as he was being pulled out the door.

Sara laughed as she shook her head.

"Hey beautiful"!

"Nicky"!

"I've missed you so much Sara, I love you".

"I love you too, how's Evie"?

"She's perfect, just like her mom".

"Can I see her"?

"Of course, the nurse went to get her and then you can spend as much time as you want with her".

"I love you Nick, I love you so much".

"I love you too baby".
