Sara POV:
The next few minutes are such a blur. Blue lights flashing everywhere, Catherine lying in my lap not moving, but she's got a slight pulse. I checked. Two paramedics come running towards us and I find myself being pushed away. All I can do is stand there and watch while they put an oxygen mask over her mouth and lift her on to a gurney. I'm pulled out the trance by one of the paramedics speaking to me.
'Miss, what's the ladies name?'
'Um, Cat, sorry Catherine Willows. Can I come in the ambulance with you?'
'And you are?'
'Sara Sidle, please she's my partner.'
'That's fine. Follow us.' I follow them as they lift Cath into the back of the ambulance. I take a seat next to her and on the way to the hospital I just hold her hand while caressing her forehead, sometimes lifting her hand to place a kiss on it. It's not long before we arrive at the hospital and Cath's rushed in. I follow as she's taken into a room. A nurse stops me from entering.
'Miss Sidle, I'm afraid you can't go in there unless you're family.'
'I am family. SHE'S MY PARTNER. YOU HAVE TO LET ME IN.'
'You have to stay out here; we'll let you know when we get some news. Is there anyone I can call for you?'
'Yeah can you call Lindsey Willows and Sofia Cutis? Lindsey's her daughter and well Sofia is a friend of OURS. Ring Sofia first and then she can pick Lindsey up' I emphasized the OURS. 'Here's there numbers.' With that she walks off as I just stare into the room where they are treating Cath.

An hour later, I've found myself a seat next to Caths room and I'm just sitting there with my head in my hands staring at the floor listening to the bustle of the doctors and nurses. Then I feel the seat next to me move and two small arms wrap around my waist. I look up to see two blue eyes staring at me. I grab her and pull her into my side, and she starts to sob.
'Shhh, Lindsey your Mom is going to be ok. She's a fighter.' I glance up to see Sofia standing there and I give her a small smile. 'Did Sofia tell you what happened?'
'No, she said she didn't know.' She says through sobs. I pull her closer and wipe the tears from her face.
'Well Linds, there was a fire at home and your Mom was at home. She couldn't get out, bout we managed to get her out. She's going to be ok, you'll see.' We just sit there for a few minutes, holding each other, comforting each other. Until a doctor comes out of Cath's room. Lindsey and I immediately stand up next to Sofia.
'Doctor, what's going on? Please tell us.' I find myself immediately asking.
'Ms Willows is responding well to treatment. She inhaled quite a bit of smoke but she'll be fine. You can go in and see her if you want. She's awake.' I look down to see Lindsey with a huge grin on her face. I look at Sofia, she gives me a smile.
'I'll go to Cath's place and speak to the firemen and I'll let Brass and everyone else know whats happened.'
'Thanks Sofia,' I nod and then she turns and walks away.
'Come on, Linds. Let's go and see your Mom.' I take her by the hand and we walk in the room.

As we walk in, Lindsey immediately runs over and jumps on the bed with Catherine. I hold back letting them have a little moment. Cath's still got an oxygen mask but she takes it off as she talks to Lindsey. She sees me standing at the door and motions me over. I walk over to the other side of the bed and lean down and capture her lips in a demanding kiss.
'Ewww.' Lindsey squeals as I pull back from Catherine and press my forehead against hers.
'I'm so glad your ok, I don't what I would have done if you hadn't of made it. You're never being left alone again, got it?' I'm trying to choke back the tears as I look into her eyes.
'Got it, thanks for knowing that I was missing you, and rescuing me.' She lets out a slight cough and I put her oxygen mask back over her mouth.
'Anything for my damsel in distress.' She gives me a slight smack on the arm as I sit down on one of the chairs and take her hand in mine.
For the next few hours, the three of us just talk and I don't let go once of Cath's hand. But I still keep thinking, What if I hadn't got there in time? How would Lindsey and I have coped? Who's doing this? But I know I'll do everything in my power to find out who it is, to keep our family together.
