I Do Not Own CSI

"Sara, you have to breathe," Jim said as he drove and Greg sat in the backseat with Sara.

"Too soon," Sara panted.

"I know, Sara. The babies will be fine. They'll stop the labour, just hold on," Greg said as Sara clutched his hand.

"If you're squeezing my hand this hard you're going to break Griss' when it's time for these babies to really come," Greg said, trying to cheer her up as Jim pulled into the ER, flagging down a doctor as soon as he jumped out of the car.

"I got a woman almost seven months pregnant with twins having contractions," Jim barked.

"I need a wheelchair," the doctor barked, placing Sara in it as soon as it came.

"OK ma'am, you're going to be fine. Just try and relax and breathe. Have either of your waters broke yet?"

"No"

"Good, I need terbutaline now," the doctor shouted as the nurse came running with medication.

"Jim, find Gil."

"Ok. Greg?"

"I'm with her."

"Ok Mrs…."

"Grissom, call me Sara."

"Ok Sara, we're going to move you to the bed," he said as he and a nurse helped move Sara.

"While the nurse is putting in your IV, I'm going to hook up a couple monitors. One is for the heartbeats of the babies and the other is a contraction monitor. Then we're going to give you some medicine to stop the contractions. As soon as that's set we're going to do an ultrasound and check your cervix to see if you have dilated, ok," the doctor explained as Sara winced as a contraction hit.

"Ok"

"Sara," Gil said, coming into the room, Jim on his tail.

"Too soon, Gil," Sara said, tears in her eyes as he took a seat next to her.

"Mr. Grissom," the doctor said.

"Yes."

"We're trying our best to stop the contractions. We'll know soon if the medication worked."

"And if it didn't?"

"Then we'll deal with that when in happens. For now, let's just hope it does, ok?"

"Gentleman, if you two would give us some privacy. I want to check Mrs. Grissom."

"I'll go see your mom, let her know what's going on."

"And I've got some phone calls to make," Jim said as he and Greg left the room.

"Control, I need an arrest warrant issued for a Laura Sidle. She's wanted for two robberies and assault causing bodily harm. I want her found now! Have border patrol on the look out for a woman in her mid fifties, long brown hair. CSI should be sending over a picture soon," Jim said, ending the call only to call Catherine.

"Is Sara alright, Jim?"

"They gave her some stuff to stop the contractions, we'll know soon. The doctor is in with her and Gil now checking her out."

"Ok"

"Any luck finding a picture?"

"Yeah, there was one in the box Sara told me to look in. I sent it to the station with Nick."

"Any evidence?"

"We found a couple hairs, but they could be Sara's or Laura's."

"Keep me updated."

"You, too."

"Hey Marie," Greg said, coming into her room.

"Is Sara ok? I didn't catch much but the look on Gil's face and the fact that he flew out of here like a bat out of hell made me worry."

"She started having contractions."

"What," Marie said a little louder the she should have.

"She's a couple rooms down. The doctors think that they can stop them, so don't worry."

"I always worry. She's like a daughter to me."

"I think you're like a mother to her, too."

TWO HOURS LATER

"How you feeling, Sara," the doctor said, coming into her room.

"Good"

"Any more contractions?"

"No, thank god."

"Good, that's real good," he said, watching her monitors.

"Everything looks good, too. The heartbeats are steady, and it looks like you haven't had a contraction in the last forty five minutes."

"Can we go home?"

"We're going to keep you for the night. We want to keep a close watch on you for a while, so just lay back and relax."

"Hey Doc, there's a woman, Marie Grissom."

"Yeah, I treated her when she came in. Wait, are you two related?"

"Yeah, umm could we be in the same room? I mean, if we both have to stay the night."

"I'll see what I can do," he said, leaving the couple.

Twenty minutes later, Marie was being rolled into Sara's room.

"Are you ok," Marie asked, causing Sara to tear up.

"This is my fault."

"No, honey, it's not," Marie said, turning to her son.

"Gil, go get some coffee. Greg, make sure he gets something to eat, too. Sara and I need to talk."

"I really don't want to le..."

"Gil, go," Marie ordered.

"Fine," Gil said, kissing Sara.

"Stay calm, relax," he said, wiping her tears.

As soon as the men left Marie turned her sights on Sara whose tears were still leaking out of her eyes.

"Sara, you couldn't have predicted this would happen. You can't control your mother's actions."

"She's not my mother! She has never been a mother to me. I look to you as my mother."

"And I look to you as my daughter. And as my daughter, I am telling you that I am fine. You are no where near responsible for this. And that I love you."

"You do?"

"Of course I do, honey."

"I love you, too," Sara said through a half sob half smile.

"Sara?"

"Yeah?"

"Relax, no stress. Don't think about Laura or your house, just those babies, ok. I want you to sleep."

"Thank you, Mom," Sara said, closing her eyes, causing tears to form in Marie's eyes as Sara called her mom for the first time.
