Chapter 18

Grissom watched as Sara was loaded into the ambulance. He stood comforting Luca who was quite upset. He grabbed Luca, his bag and the keys and headed straight to the hospital. Thousands of thoughts were running through his mind. He needed to call Catherine and also arrange for someone to watch Luca

"Willows"

"Hey Cath its me" Catherine could tell there was something wrong from the urgency and tone in his voice

"Gil is everything ok"

"Not really Sara is on her way to the hospital. Can you meet me there"

"Sure Gil, god what happened"

"No time to explain. Look I also need someone to watch Luca can you see if your mother can or if Nick can"

"It's Nick's night off I will have him meet us there I know he wont mind"

"Thanks"

Grissom came running through the doors straight to the front desk with Luca

"Sir is there something wrong with your baby"

"No he is fine, my wife was just brought in my ambulance, Sara Grissom can you please find out"

"It looks like your wife is currently with the doctor but I will let her know you are here"

A few minutes later Catherine and Nick came in.

"What is going on" asked Catherine

"Not sure, the doctor is with her now. Nick can you please take Luca. Here are the keys to my car as it has the baby seat and the keys home. His bottles are all ready, if you need anything call, I will call as soon as I know anything" sighed Grissom

"Sure thing"

Grissom handed Luca to Nick and then they left. At that moment he felt his emotions getting the better of him.

"Gil" Dr King called

"Oh god how is she"

"Not so good she is awake but not fully she continues to come in and out of it. We are running some tests but it looks like she could be anaemic which is a common side effect to the drugs as is the fatigue however when she was brought she was having difficulty breathing so we have placed her on some oxygen and running tests as it could be that she has developed an infection."

"Oh god"

"Gil you have to understand that these are all common side effects of the drugs, Sara's immune system is fighting and with the vomiting it too is tired like she is. Now I would suggest that we admit her for at least a week and then we can go from there"

"Good. I need to see her"

"Sure come with me"

"Gil I will call everyone and get you some coffee" said Catherine

Grissom walked into the room and could not believe how sick she looked.

"Hey said Grissom kissing her forehead"

Sara went to take the mask off but Grissom stopped her. Dr King then said it was ok and put her on the nasal oxygen

"Sorry if I gave you a scare"

"Shh it is all ok"

"Where is Luca" asked Sara

"He is with Nick so he will be fine"

"What is wrong with me" croaked Sara

"You have severe anaemia. You blood count is very low so unfortunately we are going to give you a blood transfusion later and that should increase your energy" said Dr King

"Ok. When do you think I can go home"

"Sara you are a very sick woman, you need to understand that you are fighting an awful disease and the time we had to wait to start treatment also may have spread the disease and therefore your dosage is very strong so your body is struggling"

Sara just nodded.

"Best scenario you are here til the end of the week, worst is 3- 4 weeks ok"

"She is fine with that" said Grissom

After she left Sara broke down in tears. "Luca will think I have left him"

"No he won't" said Grissom wiping her tears away

"I don't want you to bring him here, he can't see me like this"

"Now you are just being silly"

"Please"

"Okay for today but we will discuss this later"

Grissom sat there holding Sara's hand and a few minutes later she had fallen back into a deep sleep. He did not want to wake her as she desperately needed the rest.

A few minutes later there was a tap at the door

"How is she doing" asked Catherine

"Better, she is resting"

"if you need a break let me know"

"Thanks I am fine for the moment. Can you go and check on Nick with Luca as I do not know how long I will be"

"Not a problem"

As the door closed Grissom felt the tears rolling down his face, he needed to be strong for Sara and for Luca to he was too small to understand. Grissom just wanted his family back the way they should be….
