Chapter seventeen

"How could you Gil?!" Sara stood and stormed off.

"Sara! Please!" Grissom scooped up the blanket and basket and ran after Sara who was already half way to the SUV.

" Sara!"

'God, I'm so not built for this anymore.'

Sara got in the drivers side of the SUV and started the engine, she was about to drive when she saw Grissom limping towards her, struggling for breath and carrying what she had left behind. She waited for him to get in before asking, "Why on earth did you do that Gil?"

"Do what?" Gil asked a little breathless.

"Run!"

"I couldn't let you get away, not again." Grissom went to hold Sara's hand, but she pulled it away and stepped on the gas pedal.

******

Sara stormed straight into her study and slammed to door shut after helping Grissom bring everything in from the car.

Grissom dropped himself on the couch, he had completely forgotten about his pills and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the study Sara was sat at her desk sketching yet another drawing of her and Grissom, this time of them at the park. She know she shouldn't be angry with Gil, but he had ignored his heart last night. He made love to her even though his bod was telling him to stop. Sara stopped drawing and threw her pencil at the wall and screamed, "That stupid bastard! Why?! Why did he do it!?" Sara slammed her fists against the thick wood like she had done many times before when she thought of Grissom.

Grissom didn't hear Sara's screams as she broke down in the other room as he was already in too deep a sleep to hear anything that was going on around him. He was dreaming of Sara and their precious daughter. Yes, he'd grieved, but still wished she was with them, and now they were going to get Archie to do a picture of what she would look like now, for her third birthday.

He was running around as she sped around in her chair, but she stopped, coughing. Grissom gave her oxygen and sat with her in the park until the fit eased and they were able to make their way home. Sara didn't want him to take their daughter out, but the weather was perfect and his butterfly had begged and begged to go to the park. It was the day before her seventh birthday and Grissom had retired from the lab five years ago. He lived with Sara and Vanessa at the townhouse in Vegas. They had never left. Sara was still working at the lab and often had to pull double as Ecklie was still having trouble finding the right person. When they arrived back at the house, Vanessa feel asleep in her chair with her sketching pad on her lap. She loved to draw, just like her mother. She was drawing her mother and father sat out on the beach. She never drew herself.

"Hello."

"Hi, it's my husband, he's not responding to me. He has a heart condition. Las Vegas. Thank you."

Sara hung up the phone and headed back to Grissom. She held his hand and kept trying to wake him up, nothing was working.

"Gil please. I need you to be alright."

'For goodness sake Gil! I know you're a deep sleeper but not this deep. Come one!'

The ambulance arrive and rushed Grissom off, there wasn't enough room with Grissom and the paramedics, so she packed a bag and followed behind in her SUV.

A/N: So, what does everyone think is going to happen to Grissom? Which member of the team do you think is going to show up first? What does Sara do? I always love to hear from you all!!
Take care.
