Rating: M

Catherine drove Sara to the lab. When they arrived Sara was becoming nervous. "Don't worry about a thing. Everyone is behind you 100." she said smiling at Sara.

In a way she was glad to get out of that hospital. She hadn't left in three weeks. But now that she was out she wanted nothing more than to get back to Grissom. Sara walked through the halls towards the break room to meet up with everyone and get updated on everything. But the only way there was to pass his office. The light inside was on, and Catherine seen a little sparkle in her eyes.

"Greg has been taking care of his critters." She commented as Sara continued to walk into Grissom's office.

Sara walked in but stopped in the door like always and looked around. Greg was putting a cricket in the tarantulas cage. God how she hated spiders. He looked up and smiled at her. Greg always looked up to Grissom, and he said, "It's the least I can do. I hope you don't mind?"

"Why would I mine, and I'm sure Grissom will appreciate it."

He smiled and ushered her to the break room after turning out the lights and locking the door. When she walked into the break room Warrick explained to her that no one would ask her about Grissom's progress, and if they wanted to know they were to ask Catherine. It was to help keep everyone off her back and she gladly accepted. Now it was down to work.

Several hours passed before she realized. She was helping Nick process a car in the garage when he heard her stomach rumble. "Dang Sara. Why don't you feed that thing?" He said laughing.

"Ha ha Stokes."

"Come on Sar lets stop and get some food. It's on me."

"Ok. Lets eat in the break room and watch a little TV."

They had finished eating their sandwiches when Catherine walked in. She sat down next to Sara and opened a container that had some left over casserole. Sara got a whiff of her food and Catherine looked at her. "Whats wrong Sara you suddenly don't look so good." No more than the words left her mouth and Sara was running towards the backrooms. Catherine and Nick looked at each other with concerned faces. "I'll go check on her."

"Ok but be gentle Catherine."

"Sara, you ok?" the sound of concern on her voice.

"Yeah, I think. I'm just so worried about Gil."

"We all are." Catherine said as she put a hand on her shoulder then it hit her. She had to ask. "Sara, don't take this the wrong way. But when you went over to Grissom's for breakfast just how far did he follow his heart?"

Sara looked at her then realized where she was going with this. But it couldn't be so she answered truthfully. "All the way."

"Did you guys use protection or was it a heat of the moment thing?"

"I guess you could call it a heat of the moment thing. And no we didn't use protection. Do you really think that it's possible."

"Sara any things possible. They are rarely planned. Lindsey wasn't. Tell you what when your done tonight I'll take you back to the hospital, and we'll find out there ok. Just me and you." Catherine knew she had said the right thing when she saw Sara's body relax. Her phone rang. She checked the caller ID 'Brass' and looked up at Sara. She anwsered in near panic.

"Willows...OK we're on our way."

"Sara we gotta get back to the hospital."

Within minutes they were rushing into the hospital and up to Grissom's room. They rushed into his room only to find Brass sitting alone in a chair and Grissom was gone. Sara began to panic.

"Where is he? Where did they take him? What's going on, what happened?"

Brass approached her gripped her shoulders and shook her, "Sara calm down, he's going to be fine. He kept reaching his arms up and pulling on his IV's then he got a hold of his feeding tube. They are fixing it now."

Sara just looked stunned along with Catherine. "So the feet thing wasn't just a fluke." Sara said some what relived that he was becoming more aware of his surroundings.

Just then they wheeled Grissom back in. The Doctor followed. "I have never had such a difficult coma patient. He's been hell the past hour. We restrained his arms so he won't do anymore damage. I expect him to keep progressing even possibly waking up in a few days."

Sara just beamed and walked over to Grissom's side. Catherine walked out with the doctor to ask a favor. Brass just smiled and said, "Well I'm going to get out of your hair. You probably won't leave now."

"Not on your life." She turned and hugged Brass goodbye.

He said goodbye to Catherine on his way out as she walked in. In a few minutes a nurse returned and handed Catherine a small box. Sara was holding Grissoms hand and pretended not to notice. But she did and smiled at Grissom and whispered into his ear, "In a few minutes we'll know if your going to be a daddy." And she kissed his cheek.

"Ok Sara lets get this over with. I'm so excited for you."

Sara took the pregnancy test into the bathroom while Catherine approached Grissoms bed. "Geez Gil, when I told you to follow your heart I meant just to tell her how you feel not bed her. At least not right away."

Sara came out of the bathroom and sat down in her chair next to Grissoms bed and took his hand. Catherine smiled at her and they waited in silence.

Sara looked at her watch and nodded at Catherine. "Will you look for me I'm too nervous." She bent down and kissed Grissoms restrained hand she was holding. "Cat?...wait."

"What's wrong Sara?" She looked at her while Sara looked at her then turned quickly back to Grissom.

"He just squeezed my hand."

Catherine rushed to the other side of his bed and took a hold of his other hand. Sara leaned over him and began to coax him to try again.

"Come on Gil, squeeze my hand. You did it once do it again."

They stood and waited. Suddenly Catherine looked up at Sara and vise versa. He had squeezed both of their hands. No giving up Sara started trying to get him to open his eyes.

"Ok that's good honey. Can you open your eyes? Try to open your eyes. Come on Gil you can do it." she continued to chant. After a few minutes they started to see movement behind his eye lids. Sara started getting excited and Catherine joined in. They both held his hands coaxing him to open his eyes.

Slowly but surely they began to open. Catherine turned down the lights and they opened farther. Sara began to cry into his neck while Catherine started loosening his restraints. In minutes Grissom was staring into Sara's deep brown eyes. He just smiled and opened his mouth. "Gil, honey don't try to talk right now. I love you." and she kissed his cheek. Then she felt his hand move from hers and he placed it on her stomach and smiled.

"We don't know yet." and she looked at Catherine and took a deep breath and nodded.

Catherine went into the bathroom to look at her test results. She looked back at Grissom and smiled. "You were listening to us weren't you?" He just smiled back when Catherine reemerged and handed the test to Sara. She looked at the results and then back at Catherine who walked over to a chair.

Sara leaned over Grissom "Congratulations your going to be a father."

Grissom couldn't keep himself composed and tears began to run down his face as Sara kissed him gently on the lips. He smiled his biggest smile and placed his hand once again over her womb.
