The doctor came in and he released Grissom on the promise he would rest. This made him very happy. Cath drove him home and helped carry lily in, "do you want me to stay?" cath asked, he nodded he didn't want to be alone just yet...he put lily in her basket in the lounge where cath was sat "I need a shower, you be ok?" cath smiled "yeah ill be fine. take your time"...

Grissom walked into bedroom, found his baggy clothes, stripped, and went into the ensuite he looked in the mirror oh my god what has he done to me? He was all bruised and covered in blood, how could lily of touched me and loved me looking like this?...I look a complete mess...Sara will go crazy when she gets back... God I could do with a Sara hug right now... It'd hurt but be worth it.
he got into the shower and it hurt... But he felt better for it, again he looked in the mirror he looked a bit more like himself. Dressed he went into the lounge and sat on the sofa and talked with cath,
His cell rung,,,, 'Sara' flashed up... shit I cant lie to her. She needs to know.. Deep breathes gil deep breath.
"Hi honey, how's it going?" she sounded perky "I'm coming home now" oww yes. But shit oh no... Extra deep breath... "Oww really honey, that's... good" she sensed something was wrong "what's the matter Gil talk to me?" he broke into tears and passed the phone to cath, why am I crying and hiding it from Sara? It'll panic her more; cath'll tell her... he couldn't handle it. He knew she would get upset and worry. "Hi Sara its cath, Gils upset," turned to grissom "shall I tell her?" he nodded "cath, tell me what? What's going on?" Cath took a deep breath "Sara, gil got taken hostage by a psycho and he's hurt, he's ok been checked out in hospital, we've just got home and he's a little upset about it" a little upset, I've been scared to death of loosing all I have... But hey it's best to ease Sara into this I'm guessing... I'm so glad catch's here to help... grissom tried to listen in "yes ill tell him... ill see you when you get home, bye" cath turned to grissom "right Sara's on her way home she said its ok and she'll be home in about 2 hours and you can talk then,,, oww also she loves you" he half smiled and wished it was all different... Why did I go alone? Why didn't I wait? I could of been killed... Then that would have been it...
He tried to not think it but it kept coming... He laid on the sofa in the foetal position, it was the only way he could be a little bit comfortable... lily slept and he listened to cath talking but wasn't really listening and didn't reply...

The door opened, it was Sara she flew through the door and to his side... she planted a kiss on his lips, he needed this... I almost never got this... God I love Sara... "I love you gil, are you ok? I was worried sick all the way home" "better now your here" he moved to hug her..."you sure hun? I don't wanna hurt you?" he smiled "its ok" he winced as she hugged him she felt it... "Thank you so much cath for helping out, are you staying tonight?" cath thanked her for the offer but left saying her byes to lily who was still sleeping. Sara took lily into the bedroom then took grissom to bed... as much as he protested...

once in the bedroom Sara removed his top... he protested again
"gil this is not sexual, you need to go to bed and sleeping in your top wont help...come on", he gave in and let her remove it, she looked at his chest then into his eyes "uhh hun that's bad, your not getting out of bed tomorrow, fuck work your staying in bed and healing" grissom just smiled "yes of course, as long as you and lily are with me I wont move, but I need you two here" Sara smiled "ok, I'm sure we can manage that" he crawled into bed "I love you" he whispered "love you too hun, now go sleep" Sara said then giggled.

He laid for sometime next to Sara he couldn't sleep or get comfortable, also his brain was on over drive I love Sara so much and I want to renew our connection... Maybe she does too... Today scared me so much... "Sara" he whispered "you awake?" he knew she was as he could hear her breathing normally; she rolled over "yes I am you ok? Need something?" he smiled "no I have you and lily so I'm all good but did I tell you I loved you today?" Sara thought "no hun I don't think you did" he smiled "well my darling Sara I love you, and I missed you. Today was the first time I have ever really been scared. Ever" Sara really didn't like this... "Gil where's this going?" she worried... I hate worrying her... Right just say it... he smiled "I was scared of losing you and lily, I've never been so scared and I was thinking about renewing our vows, what you think?" Sara was stunned. "Umm... You sure?" he smiled "yes I am, but only if you want to?" "yes I do…. That'd be great" perfect...now brain go sleep... he smiled then fell into a peaceful sleep.

When he woke No Sara or lily, panic came over him ohh my god has something happened to them? Ill die if it has... Please god no... then he heard a laugh he rolled over and saw Sara holding lily stood by the bed, lily smiled at him.. "Hi bug" she laughed louder...
Life was settled and he had it all...
