Chapter 6
Brass and Catherine were met at the front door by a very despondent Grissom.
"Oh Gil I am so sorry" said Catherine as she wrapped her arms around him in a big hug.
"Thanks" was all that Grissom could say as he felt if he said more he would just lose it and he needed to be strong for Sara.
"Are you ok" said Brass shaking his hand and then patting him on the back. Grissom just nodded his head.
Once they walked into the living room Grissom then made his way into the kitchen to put the kettle on.
"Where is Sara" asked Catherine.
"Lying down. I really don't think she is asleep so go ahead she could probably use some different company" said Grissom.
On entering the bedroom Catherine found Sara curled up in the foetal position quietly sobbing. Catherine just approached the bed and sat down the on edge and rubbed Sara's back.
"I am so sorry Sara". All Sara could do was lift her head and nod. She slowly sat up with tears running down her face and Catherine just held her and let her cry.
"Did Gil tell you everything" said Sara
"Pretty much"
"Cath both Gil and the doctor think it is in my best interest to terminate the pregnancy. I just can't do that" sobbed Sara.
"Well he loves you Sara and they are both just wanting to give you the best treatment that can cure you" said Catherine while tucking a stray hair behind Sara's ear.
"You are a mother Catherine, can you ever imagine not having Lindsay" Sara asked.
Catherine was a bit taken aback by the question so had to think.
"Sara I could never imagine not having her in my life but what would pain me even more is if she went through life with her mother to guide her".
"Oh god I am so scared. Gil really wants me to have the surgery. I know there are risks with that too, I just don't know what to do" Sara sobbed.
"Sara I know you are scared and I would be too. When I was 6 months pregnant with Lindsay I had to have my appendix out, so if she came out of it ok then I will think your baby will too and that was some time ago so think about how everything has changed"
Sara just sat there and nodded. After chatting a bit more the girls decided to go and join the boys in the living room.
Once they entered the room Brass stood by and just hugged Sara. "I am so sorry" said Brass.
"Thanks Jim".
"Gil, Catherine and I have been talking and you can ring Dr King and tell her I will definitely be there on Friday for the operation" Sara said.
Grissom got up and just hugged her so tight.
"Sara I am so happy about that' Grissom said.
"I thought you would be, but like I said to the doctor there will be no chemotherapy until after the baby is born as I really cannot give up on this baby". Sara then placed her hand on her stomach as did Grissom he then just stood there and held her. He then mouthed the words Thank You to Catherine knowing that she played some part in her decision.
Catherine and Jim left soon after and Sara and Grissom order dinner in and then called it a night. He needed to call Ecklie in the morning to get some temporary staff on board as Sara would be on leave for at least one month and he was going to put in to have the same time off to care for her.
As Sara hugged Grissom and eventually fell asleep he did wonder how all would go in the next few days. One thing for sure as long as Sara was pregnant he knew she would fight harder for them both.
A/N: Please review for me.
