I don't own CSI but i do own Ginnelle, her father, Grissom's kid, John and Mike, and a Christopher Patrick

Jim and Catherine arrived at the hospital in record time worried for Grissom and Sara. They quickly went to the front desk to ask if Sara was a patient here. The nurse at the front said yes but that Sara was in surgery and that they would have to wait in the waiting room. When they entered the waiting room they saw Grissom already there with his hands covering his face with his elbows resting on his knees. He looked valuable and broken. His clothes were wrinkled and ragged looking; all and all he looked like he went through hell and back.

"Gil?" Jim timidly walked towards him trying not to startle him. Grissom brought down his hands to look up at Jim and Catherine. "How is she?" Grissom shook his head.

"They won't tell me anything. I could see for my self that she has gashes on her face, head, arms, and legs with lots of bruising. Jim, why won't they tell me anything?" He pleaded with them in a soft whisper. Gil felt like he had no strength lift in him. Why his family? Grissom thought over and over again but no matter how many times he asked himself he couldn't come up with an answer.

"How are you Gil?" asked Catherine worried for his well being. Grissom didn't answer her.

"How are you Gil?" Catherine tried again. He looked at them.

"How am I? How am I?" Gil stood up to a stand in front of Catherine. "I don't know Catherine. I'm still trying to get over the shock that my wife was almost beaten to death, my five year old daughter along with Ginnelle who I see as my own was taken by some lunatic to God knows where. Doing Gods knows what to them. How you think I feel Catherine?!" Grissom told off his co-worker and friend while yelling the last part in her face. Jim intersected Gil and Catherine and made Grissom sit back down. Anyone who had half a brain could tell that he was close to tears.

"Gil I know that this is hard for you but do you know anyone that would go as far as to hurt your family?" Brass asked trying to make the case by the books. Grissom shook his head.

"Jim you and I both know that given the chance most of the people we put away would go after my family, even if it was just to get to me." Grissom told Jim. Brass nodded in understanding.

"I'll make a call in to see who was let out in the last five months that had any connection to you and put a missing persons' report in for Alex and Ginnelle." Jim responded to Gil and he in turn nodded.

"Did you see or hear something that was off, misplaced, or missing?" Jim asked Grissom another question. Gil closed his eyes to remember anything like that.

"The front door was unlocked, my home that always had a warm and welcome feeling felt dead and had a cold silence to it. Not even the dog was barking. Alex's door was shut and at the time I thought to my self 'why would the door be close. Alex had always been afraid of the dark'. It should have been open, the same with mine and Sara's room. They were both close and what I found inside will be forever engraved into my memory. There was blood everywhere Jim." Grissom finish a small sob but he held it back. This was no time to cry. Sara needed him, so did Ginnelle and Alex. His thoughts froze as so did his blood. They could be anywhere. Ginnelle…she just lost her father. He wonders how she was holding up not just physically but mentally for the most part. Gil hoped for her safety the most. Ginnelle could do fine one her own but if someone tried to hurt Alex in anyway, shape, or form Ginnelle would be the one to direct the pain upon herself and away from Alex. Alex…his little baby girl. She was only five going on six for crying out loud! She shouldn't be going through this, not at this age, not at all period!

"Grissom listen we found your dog. I'm sorry. He was stabbed in the chest from one of the knives from your kitchen." that was all Jim said. Grissom seemed to accept this.

"Grissom, I'm going to go to your house and get some things for Sara. Please call me when she gets out of surgery." Catherine pleaded with him. Gil nodded not knowing what to say or even think. For most of his life he had to deal with this kind of thing as a CSI and but now…now he was on the receiving end. Now he was the one that had to wait and see if there was any hope that he was going to see his family again. Now he has to deal with it as a father and as a husband. What was he going to do?

Grissom was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice that both Brass and Catherine were leaving. He didn't really mine that much. All he could think about was what was going to happen now and who did this to him and his family.

It was a dark place especially now at night; all anyone could see was that the place was abandon from all of the grime and the lack of stableness of its' structure. Inside the building was no different; having grime on the walls and floors, spider webs hanging in the corners, and bugs crawling on the floors looking for food. And in this building there was a room that had a single light shining from a light bulb with two wooden chairs in the middle of that room and in these chairs are a woman about 20 years old and a child who was no more than five or maybe six; they were both unconscious with their hands tied behind their backs with rope, their legs tied too. Their clothing was pajamas. The woman had on a small navy blue short sleeve shirt on with grey jugging pants. The five year old wore a pajama type dress that had white and light blue colors. Both of their feet were bare.

It was a half and hour before the woman began to stir. Where I'm I? she asked herself. The woman lifted her head slightly but wince in pain by her action. Her head felt like it was hit by a truck. In fact her whole body was in pain and she didn't even know why. She didn't know where she was, she wasn't able to recall what happened to her. The 20 year old woman looked around the room despite the pain she felt in her neck and head. The room was disgusting looking with the green grime all over the place, there were no windows, and as far as she could see there's only one door. She moved slightly only to discover that she was bounded to a chair with rope around her wrists and ankles. She also noticed that there was no sound; no cars or people to be heard outside; there was nothing. That was not good. That would mean that there were either in a sound proof room or they were in the middle of nowhere. Her eyes landed on the little girl next to her, she was bounded just like she was. That was when her memories came back to her. I was attack…he took us! Alex! she thought as she remembered what happened to her.

"Alex." she called out to the child. The child in turn started to stir from hearing someone calling out her name. "Alex." The woman called out to the child making her voice a little louder than before.

"Aunty G…" her small voice said groggily. The woman who was called Aunty G smiled despite the situation at hand as she recalled the day the child named her that. Apparently her real name was too hard of Alex to pronouns correctly. Alex was only three at the time and she was trying to get Alex to say her name; Ginnelle. It resulted as Alex calling her Aunty G and she was just fine with that.

"Yes Alex, it's me; Aunty G." Ginnelle tried to sooth the girl before she could get a chance to panic. "Baby listen to me." Alex turned her head to show that she was listening. "Someone took us, Alex. I know that you are afraid but you need to listen to me, ok?" Ginnelle told her but already she could the sniffling forming from the child.

"Ok, Aunty G." Alex said and even though she understood doesn't mean she wasn't scared out of her wits. Where was her daddy? Why he wasn't here to help her like he always is? And what happened to her mommy? Was she ok? So many thoughts were running through her little mind but her thoughts were cut off as her Aunty G started to talk again.

"Alex I need you to tell me. Are you in any pain at all?" Ginnelle asked her. Alex nodded. "Where baby?"

"My head…it hurts a lot. Why does it hurt?" Alex asked. She was so confused. What happened to her? Where was her mommy? Alex remembered that she had to stay home while her mommy and Aunty G went some where. Alex did know where but they were dressed in black, they left her at home with a babysitter. They were gone for a long time before they came back. The babysitter left and then they were playing house with her dolls before having to go to bed when a man came in. She felt a wave of pain from her head and then…she couldn't remember. Why couldn't she remember?

"Aunty G who was the man that came into the house?" Alex asked her Aunty. Her Aunty sighed.

"He is a bad man. He hurts people and he is the kind of person that your mommy and daddy help put away for a long time." Ginnelle told the girl. Yet why is he here? He should be in jail for the crimes he's committed. Ginnelle silently finished her sentence in her head.

Alex looked at her Aunty. She was scared and that frighten Alex. Her Aunty was never scared, so way now?

"Aunty G, I'm scared." Alex said to Ginnelle in a sob.

"I am too baby but we have to keep strong so no crying until daddy and mommy find us ok." Alex nodded and sucked up the tears determined not to cry until her daddy and mommy gets them.

Ginnelle looked at Alex and sighed. Alex was so much like Grissom it was funny. The only thing that Alex had from Sara was her wavy brown hair and even the hair was some what Grissom's too. Even though most of it was wavy some of Alex's hair had Grissom's curls. Ginnelle figured that they would disappear over time as Alex grew older but no matter how old Alex gets she would never get rid of her beautiful big blue eyes; the same shade as Grissoms'. Then there's Alex's personality which was creepy concerning that she had his weird love for bugs but thank God she wasn't interested with poetry yet. It's only a matter of time. Ginnelle thought to herself.

Then she turned her thoughts to something more serious. She had to figure a way out of here as she thought of their position. Ginnelle thought to herself trying to come up with a plan. She didn't know when he'll be back. She must have jinxed herself because after thinking that both Alex and Ginnelle started to hear foot steps coming their way. Ginnelle could only hope that she would be on the receiving end of everything and not Alex as she heard every step getting closer to where they are.

The footsteps stopped and for a second Ginnelle thought that he would leave them alone of awhile more; she was wrong. The handle on the door started to turn ever so slowly which caused Alex to make a noise showing that she was scared. The motioned stopped as if the person on the other side of the door was trying to listen for any other noises. Ginnelle quickly got Alex's attention and tried to calm her down.

"Don't be scared. I'm here. I'll protect you." Ginnelle calmed the child hoping that he would make her a liar. That was when the handle started to more again but this time Alex didn't say anything. Instead she stared at the moving handle more scared than anything else but she believed in her father and mother to find her like the stories from her fairy tale books and also believed in her Aunty G to protect her just like she said. The door open and revealed the man that kidnapped him. He was wearing a dirt brown shirt with fading blue jeans and black shoes. Alex looked confused. She never had seen this man before so way take her from her mommy and daddy. She didn't know but when she glanced at her Aunty Alex could tell from her Aunty's expression that she knew who she was.

"It's been so long. My, how have you've grown. All the better for me I suppose." the man said licking his lips at the last part with a glint of lust in his eyes as he eyed Ginnelle's body. Ginnelle in turned shuddered from the memories and the look he was giving her but she couldn't have been happier. He was focusing on her and not Alex. That was a good thing for sure.

"Not long enough I have to say, John." Ginnelle said while glaring daggers at him. John returned them full force and walked up to her. Once standing in front of her he quickly backhanded her just like the last time. (In the first story) The impacted was really strong. So strong in fact that it made Ginnelle's chair tip over thus bringing her to the dirty, infested hard ground. Ginnelle grimaced at the pain that shot through her from her fall. Alex cried out to Ginnelle after seeing John's action and her fall.

"Shut up!" John yelled at Alex but all she did was cry while wiggling around trying to get free from her bounds to get to her Aunty. "I said SHUT UP!" John yelled in her face. Alex was about to start crying harder from all of the screaming towards her but Ginnelle intervened. She had to, for she knew that if Alex didn't calm down she was going to get hit or worse.

"Alex baby remember what I told you." Ginnelle tried to get her to remember. Alex nodded now listening to her Aunty with tears in her eyes just begging to fall like the ones before them. "Well you need to start right know ok? Don't worry. I'll be find, alright?" Alex nodded again but this time there was no more tears coming out of her eyes and the only thing left the suggest that Alex did cry at all was the fact that she had a tear strained face and her eyes were red and puffy.That's a good girl, a very good girl. Ginnelle thought in her head as John started to walk away from Alex and towards her. He grabbed her by her hair and put her and the chair in their up right positions. It hurt but Ginnelle didn't cry out. One she was still the same tomboy that Grissom met six years ago meaning she wasn't going to give John the satisfactory of showing that she was in pain and two Alex was here. She would start to cry again if she cried out in pain. John bent his head all the way down to Ginnelle's ear, licking it before he start to speak.

"I'm going to repay you for all of those years you stole from me." John whispered in her ear while she shuddered.

"I'll like to see you try it ass wipe." Ginnelle said those words between her clenched teeth.

"Oh I'm going to do more than try." he said and he pulled the chair with Ginnelle still strapped on it and out the door to another room. Alex was left trying to hold the tears back as she could hear the faint cries of her Aunty and lots of banging noises. I have to be strong. I have to be strong. Alex repeated the line over and over again hoping she will see her Aunty G again.

Grissom was waiting impatiently on a chair in the waiting room. Two hours have passed since the visit from Captain Brass and Catherine. The doctors that were working on Sara wouldn't tell him anything and that made Gil think about all of the possibilities that could have gone wrong with the surgery. Grissom looked around the small waiting room; other people were there as well waiting just like him, the walls were white and plain just like any other hospital, chairs clattered the room though most of them were occupied with the other people, and the thing that Gil hated the most was that the doctors and nurses were coming in and out calling people to them about their loved ones condition. Every one but him well at least that is what it felt like anyway.

Everyone there but Grissom picked their heads up to look at the door way when they heard a doctor come in. The doctor that came in was a male around his late 30s or early 40s with both brown hair and eyes; he had a traditional white coat on and underneath that was a dark red dress shirt with a light red tie around his neck, and pants that were a dark shade of gray. In his hands was a folder with the name and info of the patient and his or her family on it. Taking out his glasses that were in one of his pockets and putting them on he read what was on the paper to see what the name of family the patient had waiting for him or her.

The doctor looked up from his folder and called out, "Is the husband of a Sara Grissom here, a Mr. Grissom?"

Grissom jerked his head up after hearing the doctor calling out his and Sara's name. Gil stood up and while walking to the doctor he noticed the fallen faces of the people that were left in the room. They put their heads down preparing to continue their wait for any word back about their loved one. They had to wait more and for a moment Grissom felt bad for them as he knew what it was like to wait hoping for news on a loved one knowing that there would be a 5o/5o chance that the news that they would receive could be either bad or good. Gil thought back to Alex and Ginnelle as he walked over to Sara's doctor. He could not help but wonder it they were ok or if right now the person who kidnapped them was hurting them while he was here safe from any harm. Grissom mentally shook his head trying to get those thoughts out of his at the moment. Right now he had to think about Sara and he needed to pay attention to what the doctor was going to say to him.

"Are you Sara Grissom's husband?" asked the doctor once Grissom was in front of him.

"I am." stated Grissom with a small nod.

"I am Dr. Martian and I am your wife's doctor. Would you come with me please?" asked Dr. Martian. Gil nodded suddenly unable to speak at the moment.

The doctor nodded his head and motioned Grissom to follow him. They walked down hallway after hallway 'til they finally got to the ICU section. Gil's worries grew thinking that Sara was worst than he or the doctors first thought. They stopped in front of a room and Gil saw the person inside; Sara. Grissom's heart broke when he saw her. She was hooked up to all kinds of machines and she looked so pale compared to the white bandages that were wrapped around her body. Gil knitted his eyebrows in confusion. Most of those machines were hooked up to her stomach area. Grissom continue to stare at Sara while trying to figure out way the machines were hooked to where there are.

"Mr. Grissom?" the doctor called out snapping Grissom out of his trance. He turned back at the doctor while having both of his eyebrows raised. Dr. Martian continued, "Sara is stable at the moment, she was a lucky one. She had internal bleeding but we stopped it in time. So there are no worries. Sara has fractures, multiple bruises, a mild concussion, and cuts. Most of the damaged was to her arms, legs, and hands. Who ever did this would be pretty marked up. She fought back with everything she could. Be thankful, this could have been a lot worst." Grissom only knew that the attack on Sara could have been much worse but he didn't want to think about why the attacker decided to let her go. That would lead to question about why the attacker took Ginnelle and Alex. And right know Grissom didn't want to think about it right know. It wasn't that he didn't care about what was happening to them. No, that wasn't it. Gil knew that because they were Ginnelle and Alex he won't be able to work the case and that meant he couldn't help them. Grissom thought he was going to be ripped apart just thinking about it so for right know he would concentrate on Sara. Gil was dreading his next question for Sara's doctor.

"Was she raped?" Grissom chocked out. This was it. Gil closed his eyes almost as if he was trying to block out Dr. Martian's answer. The doctor shook his head slightly.

"We did a rape kit but there weren't any noticeable signs that she was raped." Grissom sighed with relief, glad that rape wasn't a factor in this case. "Unless something else comes up she is going to make a full recovery with some rest of course. It's the baby she carries that gets me concerned about." Grissom was stunned as the doctor finished his sentence.

"Baby? What baby?" asked Grissom. The doctor looked at him.

"You didn't know?" asked Dr. Martian. Gil shook his head a little. No he didn't know. If he had he would have never have left her side. Why didn't she tell him about this? Did she think that he didn't want this other child? Then another thought passed him. Did she even know?

"Is the baby going to be alright?" asked Grissom worried about the safety of unborn child.

"We don't know the full extent of the damaged done to the fetus exactly. The other doctors and I are even surprised that your wife has not miscarried already. We are monitoring them right know. I'm sorry to say though that your child might not make it through the next 48 hours." Dr. Martian pause to let the new information sink into his patients husband. Grissom felt numb all of a sudden. Everything that has happen in the past 24 hours was catching up to him. And now the baby...his baby might not make it through the next 48 hours. Then Gil took that moment to ask another question.

"If the child survives the next 48 hours?" Gil asked the doc in an emotionless voice.

"If the baby survives that long there is a good chance that it will make it through to term." That answer calmed Grissom's fear even though he could hear the 'but' coming. "But I fear that if it does that it's going to have complications in its' life. We don't know for sure 'til further testing and some time." Dr. Martian told him.

"It?" Grissom questioned the doctor offensively. The doctor realized his mistake and tried to correct it.

"Sorry." he said quickly. "The fetus isn't developed enough to tell if it-the baby is a boy or a girl." The doctor continued and almost made the same mistake again but this time he caught himself and fixed it.

"How exactly along is Sara?" asked Grissom. Dr. Martian looked down at his folder and then back to Gil.

"She is almost to the 4th week mark. Like I said just a little too early to tell about the baby's gender." said the doctor. Grissom in turned nodded.

"Could I see her?" asked Gil. He just had to see her, to feel her, to know that she was fine and not by what both his eyes and the doctors have told him.

"Of course. Just call if you need anything or if your wife's condition changes at all." Dr. Martian told Grissom.

He didn't respond. All he did was turn around and started to walk into Sara's room. He was going to stay by her side never leaving even if the nurses or doctors told him to. Gil's last thought before he went into some sort of trance to watch Sara was he was going to have to call Catherine to update her about Sara. She in return would hopefully tell him any news about Ginnelle and Alex.

That's it for the 2nd Chapter! I hoped you readers like it!
