SIGH. Sad chapter. Kinda. LOL Well... the story is coming to an end. / I wanna thank you guys for reviewed and actually read the story. LOL. You guys rock:-)


They both woke up in a hospital room. Alison and Brent were sitting on the side of Lynn's bed. Catherine woke up and turned her head. Alison heard Catherine whimper and quickly turned around. She ran to Catherine and moved the hair out of her eyes.

"Cath... Cath. Are you okay? Catherine... I was so afraid I lost you... and Lynn. I'm sorry. I should've gone pick her up..." Alison had tears in her eyes. If she wouldn't of counted on Catherine, her best friend, to do what she was suppose, maybe they wouldn't be in a hospital right now. Lynn opened her eyes and looked around.

"Mommy... Mommy! Where am I? Mommy..." Lynn started crying. Brent got up and hugged her. Alison ran to Lynn and sat on the bed. She took Lynn in her arms and rocked back and forth.

"Baby... baby, you're okay. You're fine..." Lynn whimped and let out a small scream. She had glass and cuts everywhere. On her legs, her arms, and her head. But she was okay. She was fine. Catherine on the other hand was worried about the baby. She was okay, but she was going to do everything in her power to keep her baby alive.

"Alison... Brent... can... can you get the doctor in here for me?" Catherine said in a whisper. She was finding it very hard to breathe and talk. The doctor walked in a few seconds later and smiled.

"Well it seems you guys are doing just fine..."

"Doctor? I'm..."

"Catherine Willows... yes, I know. I'm surprised you woke up so quickly..."

"My baby..."

"Wh..."

"My baby... is it okay? Did I lose it?"

"Well... it's safe to say it's a her. And no, she's perfectly fine, Catherine." The doctor gave her a heart melting smile and walked over to Alison. "You guys will be able to take her home tomorrow. She has to rest. No school for at least 2 to 3 weeks. She can eat only simple food. Soups, vegtables, fruits. She'll be feeling tired. A lot. So make sure she gets a lot of rest." The doctor turned to leave but Brent stopped him.

"What about Catherine?"

"Catherine? Oh. She's in no condition to leave. She..." Catherine could feel a sharp pain coming from the back of her head. She reached in the back of her and felt little marks in the back of her head.

"What... what happened to me!" Catherine said with tears in her eyes. She brought her hand from around her head to find blood on her fingers. She softly sat up, but failed and slowly laid back down again. The doctor sighed, turned off the lights, and turned on the x-ray machine that was infront of the beds. He put up pictures of Catherine's skull on the boards and sighed.

"When... when you hit the other car, the whole back end of the car smashed into you and Lynn. If it weren't for the air bags... you two could be dead right now." Catherine let out a whimper and Alison hugged her daughter tighter. "You lunged forward, hit your head on the stearing wheel, and you head was forced sideways. Glass from the side window broke and cut into the back of your head... 5 inches long..."

"How many deep?" Catherine said cluching the blanket.

"... 3." Catherine broke down into tears. The pain started up again. She turned red in the face. Lynn started crying even harder. Brent got up and just walked out of the room. He couldn't see them cry. He suddenly realized no one called Gil...

In Miami...

Gil was dialing Alison and Brent's number like crazy. He watched the TV and listened to the weather report. There was a thunderstorm in Las Vegas and Gil wanted more than anything to make sure Catherine was alright. There was another call coming in from another line. Gil sighed and quickly switched over to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Um... Gil. It's Brent..."

"Brent! Thank God! Where's Catherine..."

"Um... Gil, that's... that's why I'm calling..." Gil froze. Something happened. He was right. He gripped the phone harder and listened. "She... she was in a car accident." Gil stopped breathing all together. He looked around and completely forgot Brent was on the phone. It fell from his hands. He softly sat down and put his head in his hands. Brent screamed, causing Gil to softly reach down and pick up the phone.

"Did she make it?" Gil said softly.

"Yes. Gil, she's fine..."

"Thank God... Brent, tell Catherine that I'm..." Horatio ran in the office and looked around until he found Gil sitting infront of the TV with the phone in his hands.

"GIL! GIL! We've got a location on Sara... come on!"

"Cane... this isn't a good time..."

"Grissom... we may have found your CSI! What could possibly be more important!" Gil sighed. He wished that Sara would just be back in Las Vegas and that none of this was even happening right now. He pressed the phone back to his hear and held back the tears that threatened to fall.

"Let me talk to her..."

"Gil? She's..."

"Give her... the phone. Now." Brent sighed and ran back into Catherine and Lynn's room. He hung up the phone in the hall. Once Gil realized that he hung up, he threw the phone down and cursed.

"Grissom... what gives? Are we going to leave or..."

"She got in an accident..."

"Sh..."

"Catherine! Catherine Willows! The love of my life!"

"Well what about Sara?"

"What about Sara?" Gil jumped when the phone rang. He picked up the phone and listened.

"Gil... Gil?"

"Catherine?"

Find me here and speak to me. I want to feel you. I need to hear you. You are the light, that's leading me to the place where I find peace again...

He could hear her start to cry on the other line.Horatio had left already, apparently disappointed in Gil's decision to stay behind. He listened to her cry and just wanted to be there with her.

"Where are you?"

"I'm... I'm still here. But I promise..."

"You promise too much, Gil." Catherine said softly.

You are the strength that keeps me walking. You are the hope that keeps me trusting. You are the life to my soul. You are my purpose... you're everything.

"What? Catherine... I love you! So much! Can't you see that?"

"Gil... I love you too, but..."

"But WHAT Catherine? Tell me. Tell me you love me."

"I..."

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you? Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

The machines that she was hooked up to started going off. Gil listened and silent tears fell down his cheeks. His Catherine was gone. She wasn't coming back. He forced her to do this. If it wasn't for him, maybe this wouldn't be happening. The phone must of fell under the covers. Gil could hear everything that was being said.

"More bleeding in the back of the head... she's losing oxygen!" The line went dead. Gil threw the phone down and looked up. He blinked the tears away and stood up.

You calm the storms and you give me rest. You hold me in your hands. You won't let me fall. You still my heart and you take my breath away. Would you take me in? Take me deeper now...

He walked around the room before walking out. He stood in the hallways and looked out the window. The clouds outside were black. Not a dark grey, but black. Gil sighed and watched as lightening struck and thunder hit. He jumped and he now knew how Catherine felt. How hard it was to leave something behind that meant so much to you.

Horatio came running down the halls and was surprised to see Gil was out of the office. He slowly walked up to him and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Come on, Gil. She needs help..." Gil sighed and turned to walk down the hall.

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you? Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

He sat in the Denali and didn't say a word. Right now, he really didn't care about finding Sara. No... that wasn't true. How could he be so heartless? He loved Sara. As a friend as a co-worker. He wanted to get her back more than anything, but he wanted to see Catherine even more. He couldn't wait for this whole thing to be over so he could just go back to Las Vegas and tell Catherine how much she meant to him.

They pulled into the driveway of an abanded, old house. The police officers that were following behind secured the house. Gil ran out of the Denali as rain poured down on them. He walked in to see a cut up and bruised Sara laying on the floor with her hands tied behind her back.

5 months later...

Catherine was sitting at home with Lynn laying on the side of her. Alison and Brent had quit their jobs and found work closer to the house. Lynn would poke Catherine in the belly and giggle as the baby kicked back. They were watching TV when Catherine felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She got off the couch and screamed as she walked for the phone.

"Ms. Catherine? Ms. Catherine! What's wrong? Is it the baby?"

"Yeah sweetheart. It's the baby alright!" Catherine said containing her screams.

"Oh my God? What should I do? Should I call Mommy?"

"YES!" Lynn grabbed the phone and quickly dialed.

In a matter of minutes, Catherine was yet again, back in a hosptial room. She screamed as the doctor asked her personal information about herself and the baby.

"SAVE THE PERSONAL CRAP AFTER, OKAY!" Catherine said with a pained look on her face. The doctor sighed and put down the clipboard.

Meet Lindsey Willows, 4 lbs. 5 oz. 20 inches long. Beautiful blue eyes and dark blonde hair. Catherine smiled and held her daughter in her arms.

Like... omgawsh. LOL. Well... the song I used for this is Everything by Lifehouse. (sigh) That song reminds me of Grillows for some odd reason, so I used it. And yes, maybe two chapters left to the story until it's done. Maybe 3 if you guys are lucky. LMAO. (:
