Catherine sat comforting a crying Sara in her living room. Between her sobs Sara was mumbling incoherently. Catherine could only hold her while she cried out her pain.

"Sara, he told me nothing happened between them. And the look in his eyes said he was telling the truth. He loves you dearly. Why don't you just talk to him and get his side of the story."

Sara lifted her head and tried to wipe away her tears. She nodded in acknowledgment.

"Ok, how about he comes over and if things get too far out of hand he can leave. Does that sound ok with you?"

Again Sara nodded. Catherine rose, walked to the front door and opened it. She then returned to Sara, gave her a hug and walked into the kitchen. Sara was confused until Grissom walked through the door holding a bunch of roses. The look on his face nearly broke Sara's heart. He hated seeing her cry, and knowing that she was crying because of something he did, tore him up even more.

He walked over to her and kneeled next to her. He spoke as he handed her the flowers.

"Sara, I know you have every right to be mad at me. All that I want to do is explain to you why I did what I did. Is that ok?"

She didn't respond and sat clutching the roses.

"Sara, yes I had dinner with Terri. Yes, I walked her to her door. Yes," he paused knowing what he was about to confess could end their one sided conversation right there, "...she kissed me. I know I shouldn't have allowed it. I was frozen. I wasn't thinking. I wanted to stop her but my arms wouldn't move."

"Did you kiss her back?"

"No. And I finally did tell her 'No'. But she kept going. All I could think about was you Sara. So I finally put an end to it, I told her goodnight and left. She was gone the next morning. I wanted to tell you when I first came back, but when I saw you it was like a dream come true. Sara, I beg you, please believe me. I love you so much."

Sara flew into his arms and cried harder than before. He held her until she calmed down.

"If you don't want to come home with me tonight, I understand and will be there when you decide to come home."

She continued to sob into his shirt. He had never seen her so emotional before, yet he had put her through so much in the last 2 months that he couldn't blame her. He held her until she had exhausted herself and fell asleep in his arms.

Catherine came back into the room when she heard it get quiet. She watched as Grissom gently laid Sara back on the couch. She handed him a blanket and he covered her up and kissed her forehead. He stood and walked into the kitchen with Catherine where they enjoyed some coffee in silence. It was peaceful until they heard Sara cry out in pain from the living room. Grissom was quickly by her side as she curled into a ball.

"Sara, Sara talk to me. What's wrong?"

The pain in her abdomen was too intense for her to respond. Catherine called for paramedics then joined Grissom. Sara kept clutching her stomach and gritting her teeth in pain. Catherine quickly knew what the problem was. The EMT's arrived and had her loaded in minutes.

As they were loading her Grissom swore he over heard Catherine tell them that Sara was pregnant. He sat next to her holding her had as they rushed them to the hospital. Catherine was closely following while she called the rest of the team.

He tried to follow her into the trauma room but a heavy set nurse stopped him short. Grissom tried to see her before the nurse took him back to the waiting room. Moments later Catherine and Brass entered and sat next to him. The others slowly made their way into the waiting room. Catherine had explained everything to them so they would be prepared.

The Doctor entered and hour later.

"Mr. Grissom?"

He stood and approached the doctor. "Yes."

"Mr. Grissom we have stabilized her for the moment. We haven't been able to find the baby. And if we can't find it within the next thirty minutes, we will preform a D&C. I'm sorry but we have no choice."

"Can I see her?"

The doctor nodded and Grissom left with him. Catherine was crying on Brass, while the boys sat in silence holding in their emotions.

Grissom took a seat next to Sara and took her hand. She turned her tear streaked face to him.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

"Shhhh, Sara. Don't worry about it. I just want you to get better."

"Did they tell you that the baby is dead?"

"Sara. They don't know that for sure yet."

"I do. I know. It's dead." She continued to sob as he rose and kissed her forehead.

The doctor returned and began to do an ultrasound to try to find the baby. They both sat in silence and seeing the look on his face they knew.
