Authors Note- Hey ya'll! Can't wait for Sara to come back for the first 5 episodes or so this upcoming season! I can't wait! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Still don't own anything…except I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Nick 

Sara's POV

I blinked my eyes several times to adjust to the light. It's so cool in here, where are we? I heard mumbling of several voices around me. Once my eyes had adjusted I noticed Nick and the doctor.

I stayed silent trying to hear what they were talking about. "She was dehydrated. She would of slipped in a coma if she had not made it in time. And then who knows what would have happened by then."

"Okay, thanks doctor." As I was watching the doctor Nick caught me off guard. "Well hello there" I snapped my attention right back to him as he walked next to my bed

"Hey Nick. Thank you, for everything you've done." I said to him, looking into his eyes.

"Of course Sara. I love you." He never looked away from my eyes, I knew he wasn't lying, "I love you too Nick. I always have." We smiled at each other and just then everyone filed into the room.

Everyone said their hellos and asked how I was doing. "I'm fine now. Thanks." I never really let Nick out of my site. But that's because he never left it. I glanced around the room every now-and-then hoping to see his face.

"Looking for someone Sara?" of course Greg was the one to notice. "Yeah…I am." I said looking him dead in the eye.

"He's still in surgery." Nick took my hand in his and held it tight. "Oh." It was the only thing I could say. Everyone in the room was silent. Then the doctor walked in.

"He's stable right now. You can see him one at a time. But we had to put him into a coma until he heals enough." Every thanked the doctor for the news and Warrick left with the doctor to see Grissom first.

"Hey guys, what happened to Ecklie?" I asked out of the blue. Greg, Nick, Catherine, and the lab techs all just looked at me. "Well he died and Dr. Robins went to get him…" Catherine said looking at Greg and Nick.

"What are you not telling me?" I looked up at Nick with panic.

"I promise he's not going to hurt you again Sara." He stroked my cheek but I couldn't accept that answer.

"Tell me now. Please. I need to know what happened to my father." Everyone looked at me in complete shock. I just looked away avoiding their stares.

"Is he really?" Mandy asked me, breaking the silence. Tears were silently falling and leaving streaks on my face.

"Yes, he is my biological father. I didn't find out till I talked to my mom after I had arrived." I looked away again from Mandy, trying to get lost in my own world.

"I think Sara should get some rest. And we should all check on Grissom anyways." Everyone said farewell and left their gifts on the counter and by the bed. Catherine and Greg both hugged me. As well as Mandy and Archie.

I watched them all file out of the room except for Nick. "Nick..." I whispered making him lean in closer. I kissed him for the first time, it was better then I imagined. When my lips met his it was like a fire had started. Not just that spark you feel with the one you've had a crush on for years.

He pulled back to look me in the eyes. "I love you so much, I should have told you from the start." He kissed me gently and with that he left me to think in the sterile white room and the rain hitting the window in a steady rhythm.

Authors Note- Any suggestions where to go from here? Especially since next chapter is Grissom's POV and I'm not sure how I should do it. Lemme know! Thanks!
