Chapter 3
A/N: Problem with the spacing-sorry it can't be helped.
"Nurse, how is Sara"? Nick asked.
The nurse looked at all of them and shook her head and sighed, "She has no will to live but - -"
"But what"? Catherine asked.
"She was asking for a Mrs. Willows".
"That's me, what did she say"?
"Just that she'd like to talk to you for a minute, she's right down the hall in 255 C".
Catherine nodded squeezing Greg's hand in reassurance before heading down the hall.
"Sara"? Catherine called out.
"Catherine". Sara said her throat obviously dry.
"Sara, I wish I could figure out what possessed you to do this to yourself. I know that we haven't always gotten along and that's no secret but you are my friend and there is a certain guy out there who isn't taking this whole thing very well". Catherine said pointing to the hallway.
"I'm pregnant, and its- - "
"I know, its Greg's"?
"It was one night of - - GOD Catherine I would have never done this had I known then what I know now".
"Well, the nurse says you have no will to live—make this baby your will or make the baby and Greg your will I don't care but I won't lose you just because you assume no one gives a damn about you". Catherine said in tears.
"Greg doesn't love me and I'm sure a baby is the last thing he wants".
Catherine was about to reply when a man cleared his throat.
"Get the HELL OUT"! Sara screamed.
Grissom sighed, "Please let me say one thing, just one and then I'll leave".
"Hurry up"! Sara snapped.
"Greg loves you more than anything, and even if you never believe me I love you too". Grissom responded before leaving.
Sara was in tears, sobbing.
Grissom had walked out of the hospital and Greg walked towards Sara's room.
"Greg really loves me"? Sara questioned between sobs.
"Yes, he blames Grissom- - even I blame Grissom for this whole thing".
"Grissom didn't do this all by himself, even when I had my gun pointed at my head it wasn't because of Grissom- - I just, I just didn't feel like I could continue down the path I was headed".
"What path was that exactly"? Greg questioned standing by the door.
"Greg, no I can't".
Greg came closer to Sara sitting beside her.
"I love you Sara Ann Sidle and I will always love you". Greg replied leaning over kissing her softly.
"Why do you love me so much"?
"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever met and you make me want to be a better person".
Catherine was still crying, she saw two of her closest friends falling in love right before her eyes.
"I love you too". Sara replied hugging Greg.
"I should go and let you two be alone". Catherine said proceeding to get up.
"Thank you Cath, thank you so much". Sara said hugging her.
Catherine smiled, "Anytime"!
Greg hugged Catherine and whispered something to her as she left.
"I need to tell you something". Sara said looking down at her hands.
"I know about the baby Sara, it may not be the greatest timing but I would never leave you because of that. I can't wait to have this baby with you".
Grissom wandered back to Sara's room after a little convincing from 2 males and one female CSI and one stubborn LVPD cop.
"Catherine said you wanted to see me"? Grissom said looking at Greg.
"Well, actually I was hoping Sara would".
Sara started crying again.
Greg whispered to Grissom and he made his way to the bed.
"Sara, I- I'm- -"
"I'm sorry Grissom, I'm sorry for all that I did". Sara replied sobbing.
Grissom took her into his arms and held her for a short time. Sara held on to the senior CSI not letting go.
Catherine, Warrick, Nick, Greg and Brass all watched the scene unfolding before them.
"It was never about Grissom, well not all of it anyways. Sara's mother killed her father when she was little and she was afraid that she'd end up like her mother and in prison for the rest of her life". Greg said wiping a stray tear. "Grissom is really the only person who can help her through that and I think she finally realized that it was ok to accept the help he's willing to give".
"Sara, I'm sorry that I hurt you and that I wasn't a better friend too you".
"I don't really want you out of my life and I hope you won't go".
Grissom smiled, "I promise you that I'll never go unless you ask me too".
"Well, then will you walk me down the aisle when Greg and I get married"?
Grissom looked at her shocked. "What"?
