Chapter 3

Nick, Greg and Warrick were sitting in the break room waiting for their assignments to be given.

"Hey have you guys seen Sara" asked Nick. Both Greg ad Warrick shook their heads. Catherine then entered the room with a coffee in their hand.

"Ok we have a busy night tonight. Sara is off sick for a few days so I will need you all to pull a few extra shifts". said Grissom

"Is she ok" asked Nick.

"She will be fine just a bit of a virus and the doctor has ordered for her to rest". said Grissom.

"Let us know if she needs anything" said Catherine.

Shift seemed to go by rather fast as they were extremely busy. Once Grissom got home he found Sara resting on the couch.

"Hi how was shift?" asked Sara. Grissom planted a kiss on her forehead and then told her all about his day. "How was your day" asked Grissom"

"Yeh fine, I took Hank for a walk, then had a sleep and then cooked dinner, it is in the oven when you are ready".

"Smells nice but you are meant to be taking it easy, I know but I hate doing nothing".

Grissom and Sara had dinner and then fell asleep but were woken early in the morning but the phone ringing.

"Gil Grissom". Hello, this is Dr Ryan's office calling. We have test results in for Sara Grissom and was wondering if you would be able to come in. Dr Ryan is free at midday if that suits you" said the nurse. "That is fine, we will both be there".

Grissom headed back to the bedroom where Sara was still sleeping. "Hey who was that" said a sleepy Sara. "It was the doctors office, they have your results and would like us to come in to discuss them". Sara did not say anything she fell back asleep but she had to admit she was very worried. She was also worried that something may be wrong with the baby which frightened her as it had taken them so long to get pregnant.

At midday Sara and Grissom waited in the doctors office for her to appear.

"Ok Sara I have your results. Your blood results have come back with a low white cell count. What that means is you possibly have an infection, could be something to do with the lump in your neck so I am going to schedule a biopsy for you ".

At that moment Sara starting to panic.

"Are you saying it could be cancer" asked Sara. "Look we won't know anything until after the test so lets just take it one step at a time."

"Dr Ryan I am just over 4 months pregnant what does this mean for the baby". asked Sara. Grissom reached over and held her hand which was resting on her stomach.

"Look Sara at the moment the baby is fine so lets get the test done and then we can go from there. Ok? I have scheduled the biopsy for 3pm. I know this may seem quick but I don't want either of you to have to wait. The hospital does it as an outpatient so Sara won't have to be admitted and we should have the results within 24 hours"

Both Sara and Grissom left and went home for a few hours before her biopsy was scheduled. Grissom rang the lab to tell them he would not be in . Catherine asked if everything was ok but Grissom did not want to say anything yet.

Grissom returned to the living area to see if Sara was ready to leave but found her in tears.

"Grissom what if this is cancer what does it mean for our baby" sobbed Sara. Grissom took her in his arms and held her. He prayed that all would be ok.
