Alora a calim: oh my what's going to happen to Gil? Don't worry more GC and it's Christmas Eve MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Catherine looked down at Gil; he looked so pale she hope they would get there in time. After what seemed like an eternity they finally arrived at the hospital. The medics rushed Gil in, but they told her to wait in the lounge. After a few minutes Ashley rushed in and found Catherine in the lounge, her eyes were red from crying and she was rocking back and forth clenching her hands together.

"Catherine?" Ashley whispered quietly. She looked and Ashley saw that her eyes were full of pain and worry. She sat down beside Catherine.

"Hey you ok?"

"I-I don't know, I'm just so worried"

"Well you won't have to worry about getting information, I work here so they'll tell me everything and I'll tell you"

"Thanks" Catherine said putting on a small smile.

"What are friends for?" Ashley said smiling back "he knows you care and he'll hang in there."

The two women sat there for about and hour until a doctor finally came in.

"How is Gil" Catherine said almost bursting into tears.

"Are you family?" he said.

"No, but-"

"Then I'm sorry I can't tell you anything."

"But you can tell me" Ashley said getting up and showing him her ID "I'm a respected doctor here."

"All right then I guess that's all right Mr.Grissom suffered a single bullet wound that passed very close to his heart, we managed to get the bullet out and he's stable for the moment"

"Can we see him?"

"He's still asleep, but yes you can go see him."

"Ok thank you doctor"

They walked in to Gil's room where he lay on his bed not moving. They pulled up two chairs and sat down. Catherine glanced at her watch and gasped.

"Oh No I have to go pick up Lindsey from her babysitters!"

"I can go get her you stay here, do you have any proof you sent me?"

"Ummm yes take my cell and when you find her call me so I can tell her myself ok?"

"Perfect, do you want me to bring her back here?"

"Yes there's no one else home."

"Shame this has to happen on Christmas Eve."

"Yes, but maybe we'll get a Christmas miracle."

Ashley smiled and walked out of the room leaving Catherine holding Gil's hand.

"Please Gil come back to me!" she whispered as she put her head down. Gil's eyes fluttered open and he slowly looked over at who was holding his hand and he smiled.

"Cath?" he said weakly. Catherine's head shot up in surprise.

"Gil!" she said her voice full of joy.

"I love you too and Merry Christmas." He said smiling at the look on her face. She slowly leaned over and gave him a passionate kiss.

"Gil I was so worried about you, I thought you were going to leave me!"

"I will never leave you." He said pulling her in for another kiss. It was truly a Christmas miracle.
