Lindsey takes the seat nearest to Sara's hospital bed and Warrick sits down beside her, looking sadly at his friend lying before him. What if she doesn't wake up? How are Catherine and Lindsey going to cope? Hell how are we all going to cope? We would never be able to get over this, hiding ourselves in work wouldn't even help as we'd always have that constant reminder that someone was missing….that someone being our Sara.

"She is going to wake up isn't she?"

"Of course Honey, She'll be back to normal in no time."

"Promise?"

"Yup."

"You don't promise like that." Says a quiet voice to their right.

"SARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA." Shouts Lindsey throwing herself into Sara's arms.

"Careful Kiddo, I'm still rather sore."

"Sorry. Oh my God I'm so glad you are awake."

"Me too Linds, me too."

Warrick smiles unsure of what to say, Sara smiles back equally lost for words. She looks around the room noting that someone or something is missing, her heart skips a beat and a small tear forms in her left eye as she realizes what it is.

"Warrick where's Cath?"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"You know sometimes I don't know if this is what I want anymore. Times have changed"

" What do you mean?"

"Sara and I split for all the wrong reasons but maybe that was how it was meant to be. We're different people now, we want different things in life."

"Different how? Sorry I just, I thought you loved her."

"Oh Nicky I do, so damn much but I'm scared what our future holds. We had a small argument about kids the other day, it's got me thinking."

"Kids?"

"Yeah, I made some dumb ass comment, it was just a joke. Sara went crazy about how she could be a good mother. I never knew she wanted kids and I just…I guess I'm just too old to go through all baby stuff again."

Nick's eyes widen in shock.

Shit, We are in trouble now. I've got to talk to Sara before Cath does. I need a plan. Come on Nick think! How can we work this out! Woah take a step back, I only have the nurse's word on this she could be mistaken…..let's just stay calm until everything is confirmed. Don't jump to conclusions and everything will be ok…

"Ok Nick now I know there is something you are hiding from me. Isn't it time you told me?"

"Cath….I….want to it's just, I can't."

"Nicky please."

"I think you should talk to Sara."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I don't know Sara, we didn't see her on the way in. I guess Grissom needed her to finish a case or something. I could go look for her for you?"

"That won't be necessary." Catherine calls from the doorway.

Her eyes are fiery, so much anger held up in them. Anger at the hidden secret and anger at Sara going to the crime scene instead of her. No one takes Catherine Willows cases, not even her girlfriend, especially not her girlfriend.

"Warrick take Lindsey to get something to eat."

"We ate earlier."

"Yeah Mom I wanna stay with Sara, pleaseeeeeeeeee."

"OUT NOW!"

Warrick grabs Lindsey and quickly leaves the room. Catherine closes the door and pulls down the blinds, the anger in her eyes increasing with every emotional thought running through her mind. Sara looks towards the love of her life just wanting to feel loved.

"Baby?"

"Don't you 'Baby' me!"
