-1Sorry it took a while for the update. School and band are time consuming. It's football season, so marching band is in full swing…and quite fun I might add. :P
Don't forget to R & R! Enjoy!
Think About It
"Greg? Wake up now, love."
"Hmm?" Greg opened his eyes and looked around. He was surrounded by white. "Where am I?"
"Heaven."
"What?" He looked up and stared directly at Sara. Swallowing, he began to tear up. "Sara?"
Sara smiled lovingly at him. "Yes." She took him in her arms and held him tightly. "I miss you so much."
Greg held her tighter. "I miss you too."
Sara pulled away slightly and looked at him. "Greg, you can't be here. Not now, the kids need you."
Greg swallowed back tears and looked at her. "But I need you. Sara, I've been a mess without you. They blamed me for your death."
Frowning, Sara lightly brushed his cheek with her finger. "I know…but Greg, please know it wasn't your fault. But the kids, Greg think about it." She indicated towards a hazy mist, in which Greg peered through. He saw the doctors fighting to bring him back. He saw both teams, panic stricken, in the hallway. He saw John and Jenna sobbing in Ryan's arms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryan held John and Jenna tighter and peered into Greg's room. The doctors were still unable to revive him, but they weren't giving up yet.
Jenna looked up at Ryan through tear filled eyes. "Uncle Ryan, will Daddy come back if they shock him enough times?"
Ryan frowned and brushed some tears off Jenna's face. "I hope so, sweetie." He peered into the room again, shocked to see the doctor shaking his head.
Apparently Nick saw it too, because before Ryan could react, he was on his feet in front of the doctor. "What are you doing?" he asked frantically.
The doctor looked at Nick and frowned. "I'm sorry, Mr. Stokes, but there's nothing more we can do. Mr. Sanders isn't coming back."
"No, you have to bring him back!" Nick exclaimed. "Please, his wife was murdered and he has two kids. Don't give up on him now."
The doctor hesitated for a second. "I'm sorry, there's…"
"Don't tell me there's nothing you can do!" Nick yelled. Tears were now rolling down his face as he stared at the doctor.
The doctor sighed and peered in at Greg. "We'll give it one more shot."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"They're gonna try again," Sara said, hopefully. She turned to Greg. "Greg, please, you need to go back."
Greg looked at her and frowned. After a moment he finally nodded, taking her in his arms. "Ok," he barely whispered.
Sara smiled slightly, trying to hide her tears. She hugged him tighter. "Take care, I love you."
"I love you too," Greg choked out. He finally let go of Sara as the doctor re-entered the room.
"Clear!"
Greg suddenly jolted backwards as pain shot through his stomach. Moaning, he held himself and sank to the ground. Sara put her arms around him and held him tightly.
"Clear!"
Greg shook in Sara's arms. He looked up to her one last time and smiled. "Good-bye."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Clear!" the doctor called before shocking Greg again. His eyebrows shot up in surprise when Greg started choking. "We got him!" the doctor yelled.
Both teams shot out of their seats and rushed to the door. Ryan smiled and Nick nearly fainted. Ryan looked down to Jenna and John. "Your daddy's gonna be ok."
John and Jenna beamed. "Daddy's ok!" Jenna asked, beaming more when Ryan nodded.
Ryan hugged them closer and looked up as the doctor entered the hallway.
Well, when he wakes up I imagine he'll feel some pain. He'll also be very weak," the doctor said. "We should keep him here for about a week until he recovers. Then I suggest he not do anything strenuous for another week or so. Otherwise, he'll be fine. Sure is a miracle."
Everybody thanked the doctor, then turned to leave. Grissom approached Ryan and Nick. "If it wasn't for you two, Greg would probably be dead right now." Grissom said.
"It's what friends are for," Ryan said, smiling. "John and Jenna want to stay here with Greg, so Nick and I are staying here."
Grissom nodded and said good-bye, leaving the two men with the kids.
