Authors Note: As you've requested here is the next chapter. I told ya I'd try and do updates faster now.
"Oh my God honey. We didn't think you'd be awake for a while. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I love you so much. I never meant for…." She stopped talking when he placed a finger over her lips silencing her. When he spoke his voice was rough and deep. "Sara this wasn't your fault, and I know you never meant for this to happen." She gave him a small smile, feeling slightly relieved that he was awake now. "Honey, I was so scared that you weren't going wake up. I thought I might never get to talk to you again. See your blue eyes. "He reached up and wiped a tear from her cheek and gave her a soft smile. " Sweetheart you will never get rid of me. You're going to be stuck with me forever." Grinning she replied. "I think I can find a way to deal with that."
Grissom placed his hand on her cheek and pulled her face down to his and kissed her lips gently. "I love you Sara. More than you'll ever know honey." Grissom's mother was watching from the door, tears falling down her cheeks. She could remember the first time that her son had spoken of Sara.
"Now honey, tell me her name again?" Smiling he sat down and looked at his mother. "Her names Sara." His mother smiled, she had been slightly worried about her son seeing as how he never had brought a woman home for dinner since his eighth grade dance when he went with the neighbor girl Sharon.
"Mom I don't know why but I can't take my eyes of her. She's so beautiful and she has this smile that could stop time." She smiled brightly and thought,' this sounds like the words of a man in love.' "Well honey, have you let her know that you have these feelings for her?" He quickly shook his head. "No."
"Why not?" His head seemed to drop slightly. "There are a few issues that go along with me feeling this way." She furrowed her brow and sat down next to him. "What issues? Is she married?" He shook his head and looked slightly away. "She's a student at the university." His mother's eyes widened. "Gilbert, she has to be way too young for you then."
"She is, she is. There's just something still about her that I can't get out of my head. I've told myself over and over that nothing can come from the way I feel and that I should get over it, but I can't." He sighed. "I…I think I might be in love with her."
He looked from Sara to the door and saw his mother and smiled. "Hey mom." She practically ran to him and hugged him, but was careful not to hurt him or hit his chest tube. "Gilbert I was so worried about you. Don't do that to me." He smiled. "I'm sorry mom, I won't do it again." Sara headed out the door leaving Grissom and his mother alone when his mother turned around. "Sara where are you going? You need to be in here with him." Sara turned around and looked from his mother to him. "I just thought that you two would like some alone time together. His mother smiled. "Well I want to see the woman that my son has been talking about all these years."
Sara was speechless. "All these years?" His mother nodded as Grissom began to blush. "He has talked about you since the first day of that seminar at the university." Sara looked at Grissom. "You have?" Still blushing he nodded. "I um…yes." The Dr walked in and smiled. "Well Mr. Grissom you have impressed us all. We didn't expect you to even be awake for at least a few more days. How are you feeling?" Grissom looked at the Dr. "I'm feeling ok. Not the best but ok." The Dr nodded and looked at Sara and his mother. "I know that we said two people at a time but I really think he needs to be getting his rest right now." They both seemed to nod at the same time. His mother walked over and placed a kiss on his forehead. "I love you Gilbert. You rest now and I'll see you later." He smiled; Sara then walked over to him and smiled and leaned down and kisses his lips gently, then ran her fingers through his hair. "I'll see you soon honey. I love you." Smiling again he placed her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles. "I love you too Sara."
As they left the room he looked out his window and saw the rain falling. After a few minutes he closed his eyes and let the rhythm of the rain's sweet song put him to sleep.
