-1Me or Him

"Clear!" the doctor shouted as he shocked Greg again. The flat line refused to change. "Again…clear!" the doctor shocked him again.

"I can' believe this is happening," Nick said. He watched through the large window as the doctors tried desperately to revive Greg.

"He has to pull through, he just has to," Warrick said. His hands were on the glass, as if he was trying to push something back. He looked over to Catherine, who was holding a sobbing Sara.

"Clear!" the doctor shouted again. He shocked Greg again, and almost fell on the floor when Greg began choking.

"Oh, thank God!" Sophia said, covering her face with her hands.

"He made it," Nick said, leaning against the wall. He ran a hand through his hair, and tried desperately to hold back tears. He looked over at Sara, who had calmed down and was looking in the window.

The doctor came out into the hallway once more, a look of relief on his face. "Well, we saved him. He's still in a coma, but we stabilized him for now."

"Can we see him now?" Catherine asked.

"Yes, but preferably only one at a time," the doctor said. After that, he walked back into the room.

"Sara, you go first," Catherine said. "He needs you the most right now." She sighed as Sara walked into the room.

Once in the room, Sara sat down in a chair next to Greg's bed. She looked sadly at his limp body, it was connected to more machines than she wanted to count. She immediately took his hand in hers and squeezed it tight. "Hey, Greg, it's me. You need to be ok so you can come home." She squeezed his hand tighter as she held back tears. "I love you, and I'm gonna be here when you wake up, you hear me?"

The whole team eventually got their turns to see Greg, Nick and Warrick being the last two.

"Greg, you gotta get through this, ok?" Warrick said as he lightly shook the younger man's shoulder. A small tear escaped his eye as he stared at Greg's weak body. "We need you. I'm sorry Nick and I got you hurt again, we didn't mean to."

Out in the waiting room, Sara was sitting on the sofa waiting to go back in with Greg. She had decided that she would stay until he woke up. She knew it could be days, weeks, even months, but she was going to stay right by his side. Lost in her thoughts, she looked up when Grissom sat down beside her. "What do you want?" she asked, turning her head in disgust.

"I want you to choose," Grissom said flatly. "Greg's in a coma, and he might not wake up. You shouldn't be lonely, so I want you to choose. Me or him."

"Grissom, I don't know what's in your mind thinking I would come back to you!" Sara exclaimed, standing. She noticed that Sophia and Catherine looked over at the two. "I love Greg, and he loves me! Much more than you ever could!"

"But Greg is.."

"It doesn't matter! I still love him and I'm going to keep loving him!" Sara snapped. She was beginning to tear up.

"Sara, I.."

"Grissom, I think she made herself clear," Catherine stated softly. "Please, don't upset her more than she already is." She took Sara and led her away from Grissom. "Everybody is done now, so if you want to go back in with Greg you can," she said to Sara.

"Thank you," Sara said, wiping away tears. She briefly hugged Catherine, then went back into Greg's room. Sitting back in the chair, she once again took Greg's hand in hers and held it tightly. She looked over Greg, wishing he would be ok. All she wanted to do was hug and kiss him forever, and never let go of him. Laying her head down on the bed, she brushed her hand lightly over his cheek. Smiling slightly, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Ok, so I'm thinking two more chapters. Preview: Will Greg wake up? Ok, not much of a preview, but you get it.
