In the waiting room, Grissom, Catherine, Warrick, Greg and Brass waited for news.

As soon as each ambulance had arrived, the patients had been taken inside and nothing had been said to any of them. It had been two hours.

As Greg fell into a light sleep, an important-looking doctor approached them.

"I'm Dr. Kits the cardiothoracic resident. Are you the family of Miss. Allyson Watson?" He asked looking at them

"We're acquaintances" Said Catherine as Warrick draped an arm over her shoulders.

The doctor removed his operating cap and looked at the floor "I'm sorry. We did everything we could but the injuries were too severe. The bullet severed the Aorta. There was nothing we could do." He looked at them waiting for someone to burst into tears, when nothing happened, he looked at them apologetically once more then walked back through the double doors.

A few more minutes went by before anything else happened. When they'd all settled back into their seats, they saw Nick walk out of the doors and walk towards them.

"Nick!" Greeted Catherine standing up to hug him.

"How you doing man?" Asked Nick patting him on the back.

Nick smiled faintly at them "I'll be fine…have you heard anything?"

"Allyson died in surgery…that's all we know" Said Greg looking around at everyone's worried faces.

"Excuse me…" They all turned to see a friendly looking, woman in her mid 30's "Hi, I'm Dr. Press the neonatal surgeon. Don't' worry" she added noticing Nick and Grissom's worried faces. "I've just operated on Mrs. Stokes." She said trying to identify Mr. Stokes.

"That's my wife…how is she?" Asked Nick, his heart racing.

"She'll be fine. We had to deliver the baby to repair the damage done to her…" She was cut off.

"She was only seven months pregnant…" Nick sounded desperate.

The doctor nodded "I understand your concern, but the survival rate for premature infants at 30 weeks is very high. Your son is on a ventilator and his condition is critical, but I think he'll make it through."

Nick sighed of relief. "Can I see them?"

"Your wife is still under the effect of the anaesthesia, but I can take you to your son." She said smiling broadly at him and motioning for him to follow her.

Again the team fell back into their seats. Everyone tried to read what was going through Grissom's mind not knowing anything about Sara. However, they didn't have enough time to get anything.

"Dr. Grissom?" Asked a 20 something year old man "I'm Dr. James Day, I'm the OB intern assigned to Miss. Sidle's case, she's asking for you."

With a sigh of relief, Grissom followed the man into the elevator.

"Finally!" Said Greg sitting forwards in his chair and looking at Catherine and Warrick "are you going to tell me what the hell this is all about? Sara and Grissom?!"

Catherine smiled as she saw Warrick look at her just as confused as Greg "God you men are so oblivious. They've been together for months. How could you not notice the looks, the subtle touches…"

The guys looked at each other and shrugged "Okay, so maybe that was obvious…" Said Warrick as Catherine turned to face him "…but why is Sara in Obstetrics if she has a cut thigh and a shot foot?"

Catherine rolled her eyes at him and sighed "How many times in the past few months has Sara shouted at you Then made up? How many mornings did she suddenly rush away from us looking green?" She asked thinking this would make it obvious.

"Um…I don't know…" Warrick looked at Greg wondering if he knew what the hell was going on.

"Oh for god's sake guys! Sara's pregnant; with Grissom's baby. How you two became CSI's I'll never know." She said smiling at Warrick who was looking as stunned as Greg.

"Grissom…pregnant…Sara…WHAT?!" Was all the youngest CSI could say.

"Come on Greg…get over it…" Catherine said standing up "Any one up for visiting them?

Standing in the NICU, Nick looked through the glass cover at his son. He'd never seen anything so small in his life. The undersized child was no bigger than his forearm. It's tiny chest moved up and down taking deep breaths as the tube in his throat gave him life.

No matter how sad he felt about the state his son was in, Nick couldn't help a smile creep over his face as he placed a hand on the glass case.

"Hey, Julian…" He smiled and sat down in the chair the nurse had just pulled up next to the incubator.

Sara had been waiting for Grissom for a while. The young doctor had insisted upon checking her out thoroughly before she could have any visitors. Two hours later, her cut had been stitched and her foot bandaged and she still didn't have Grissom. She had to feel sorry for the young intern as she nagged him to do as she said. Eventually, the youthful doctor had given in and gone to find Grissom.

Now, she was sitting up in her bed linked to a few monitors waiting for him to arrive.

"Come in" She said as she heard a light knock on the door.

"Hey…" He said approaching her bed and sitting on the side of it "How are you doing?"

She smiled at him "I could be doing much better…" as she said it, she grabbed his shirt and tugged on it.

Understanding what she meant, Grissom leaned over and kissed her passionately on the lips; something he'd wanted to do since she'd fallen into his arms at the house.

"Sara…" He said pulling away "Catherine, Warrick and Greg are probably on their way…"

She sighed and after another kiss, let him go. Smiling at her, he placed a hand on her stomach and asked "So…what did the doctor say?"

"Like I told you…I'm fine." She smiled placing her hand over his "Baby's alright…they did an ultrasound and insisted on hooking me up to a foetal monitor, but everything is fine." She nodded towards the machine on her right "I should be going home tomorrow…"

He smiled at her and she couldn't stop feeling warm inside at the love reflected in his eyes

"Oh…and there's something else…" She reached into the drawer of her bed-side table and pulled out an ultra sound still. "Meet your daughter…" She handed him the image.

Grissom had never felt so many emotions at once. Sara was alive; he'd saved her. He was going to have a daughter. His friends were all alright. Life couldn't have been better. Grinning, he leaned down and kissed her again. It was just a gentle, soft kiss but it was enough for both of them to understand the happiness within the other.

"Hem…" Came a forced cough from behind them and pulling away from Sara, Grissom turned to see Warrick, Greg and Catherine looking at them.

"Hey guys!" Sara beamed at them "How's it going?"

Greg was, once again, staring at Grissom and Sara as they intertwined their fingers in each others.

"What's the matter, Greggo?" Sara asked smiling up at Grissom.

"Well…" Greg looked down at the floor "You…and…I'm…You and…"

Catherine jumped in here "He's in shock about you and Grissom."

Grissom smiled at Sara and moved off the bed to the chair beside it.

"It's just…I never thought you'd…you're both so…What the hell. Congratulations!" He said smiling at them and moving forwards to shake a surprised Grissom's hand. Then, he bent down to kiss Sara on the cheek.

"Hem…Greg…hurry it up will you…" Said Grissom his tone slightly jealous, looking at Greg as he kissed Sara.

Catherine was the next to say something "I guess Greg's right, Congratulations. Took you long enough to get here, but you did." She smiled at them and sat back on the couch by the door while Warrick sat on the arm rest, his arm still around her shoulder.

"How's Nick?" Sara asked breaking the temporary silence.

"NICU." Answered Grissom "Lauren is still asleep, so he went to check on his son."

"Wow…" Warrick spoke for the first time "Nick is married…and a father…all within 24 hours…Poor guy must be freakin' out…"

They all laughed and from then on the conversation continued to be light, nothing about work, nothing about what had happened earlier.
