Chapter 4
Summary: Angela has been hit by a car and Greg regains consciousness only to find out about his wife and goddaughter.
A/N: I'm not happy with the turn I took with this but I don't feel like re-writing chapter 3 so I'm just going to see how it goes.
Angela was rushed back into the hospital and they found internal bleeding immediately.
The doctors however were optimistic.
Grissom and Sara rushed back to the hospital, once again asking Lindsey if she could watch the kids.
Lindsey did not take the news of Greg well and now it was Angela to whom she was very close.
"Lindsey is ladybug hurt?" Aiden asked with tears.
"Yes, sweetie ladybug was hurt by a car." Lindsey said as she fed Isa.
Jack and Sam were being very quiet and Lindsey was worried about them.
"Geggo, not well?" Aiden asked again.
"That's right sweetie, Uncle Greggo is hurt too."
In between all that was happening, Catherine managed to slip into Greg's room.
"Cath?"
"Greg, you're awake." Catherine said kissing his head gently.
"What's going on? Where am I?"
"The hospital, you were shot at your B&E."
Catherine took his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Um, Greg Megan went into premature labor and Angela was just hit by a car outside the hospital."
"WHAT?"
"Megan was upset about you as was Angela and then she when she found out about Megan going into labor it set her off in a way that I've never seen in a seven year old."
"How are they now?"
"Megan gave birth to a rather healthy 6 ½ lb 18inch baby girl, who I guess you named Madeline Athena Sanders?"
"Yes, Athena after my little Athena and Madeline after Megan's great grandmother."
"Angela is in surgery now, so I'll try and find out how she is."
"I'm not feeling so well." Greg replied.
"I'll get a doctor." Catherine said leaving the room quickly.
The doctor came in and assessed Greg, and explained to Catherine that he very well could fall back into a coma and that it might just be temporary.
"But, he seems ok." Catherine said questioning the doctor.
"He very well may have heard his nieces pleas, and maybe it worked I don't know but he is still in very grave condition."
Greg started to run a fever, and later that night fell back into a coma.
Angela had made it through surgery and was expected to make a full recovery.
Grissom sat by her bedside reading her 'The Little Ladybug Who Couldn't Fly Home'.
"I got you this for your birthday, but I wish I could give you what you really wanted." Grissom said rubbing her hand lightly.
"Daddy, I'm thirsty." Angela said quietly.
He smiled and helped her sip some water.
"You have a new little cousin, she's doing well and so is Megan." Grissom said answering her before she could ask.
"Uncle Greg?"
"He woke up for a little while and talked to Aunt Catherine, but he developed a fever, I'm sorry sweetie he fell back into his coma."
Angela just turned away from Grissom pretending to fall asleep.
Over the next several days, Angela was released from the hospital with only a broken arm. Greg was still in a coma but his fever had come down which was a very good sign.
Angela once again took her place next to Greg and continued to talk to him. She asked Warrick and Nick if they could forgive her for running out on them like she did and they said of course, and that they loved her very much.
She told Greg about her pink cast and how all her friends including her 'boyfriend' Billy Meechum had signed her cast and that of course her dad had already done a background search on a seven year old.
Angela started to sing a song and took Greg's hand in hers.
"I can't promise you an angel, but I'll certainly try." She said with a small laugh.
Say goodnight, not goodbyeYou will never leave my heart behindLike the path, of a starI'll be anywhere you areIn the spark that lies beneath the coalsIn the secret place inside your soulKeep my light, in your eyesSay goodnight, not goodbyeDon't you fear, when you dreamWakin' up is never what it seemsLike a jewel, very dearLike a promise meant to keepYou are everything you oughta beSo just let your heart reach out to meI'll be right, by your sideSay goodnight, not goodbyeYou are everything you oughta beSo just let your heart reach out to me.Keep my light, in your eyesSay goodnight, not goodbyeSay goodnight, not goodbye
Greg's monitors started to beep more steadily and his heart wasn't racing.
Was he finally getting better?
