Chapter nineteen

Four days later and Sara still hadn't left Grissom's side. Catherine had settled well into Sara's beach house (not that she was there very often). Sara has tried to sleep, but she couldn't without having those strong arms close around her.

"Please Grissom." Sara pleaded with her angel to wake up. Her tears splashed down onto his hand and he stirred.

"That's it! Gil! Gil! Come on, wake up!"
Grissom squeezed Sara's hand. His eyes fluttered open and then shut almost as quick as he opened them.

The doctors and nurses spilled in, pushing Sara to the side line. Catherine ran in and cradled Sara as she start to cry and shout at the physicians that were messing with the tubes and wires that were connected to Grissom.

"What are you doing?!" Sara clung onto Catherine for support as her knees went weak.

"Please don't worry Mrs. Grissom, we're just checking his vitals and taking him off the ventilator." One of the nurses had turned around and grasped Sara my the hand before turning back to attend to Gil.

"It's okay Sara." Catherine cooed as Sara slid to the floor.
Sara slumped even further into Catherine as the doctors and nurses left them alone half an hour later.

******

It was another two hours before Grissom fully awoke. Sara was curled up in the chair watching her beloved as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Catherine was slumped in the corner chair fast asleep.

Grissom didn't care Catherine was there. He looked over to Sara and motioned for her to come closer. She did as she was told and sat on the edge of the bed, holding his hand in hers.

After refusing help from the Sara, Grissom sat up and pulled her into an embrace whispering in her ear, "I'll always be here for you."

"I thought I lost you." Sara rested her head on Grissom's shoulder, closed her eyes and drifted into a restless slumber.

Grissom watched as Sara slept in his arms.

'What have I done to her? She's lost weight. She's not sleeping. I'm hurting her again. I should never had come. She was happier without me. Without knowing about my heart.'

Just as Grissom too was drifting of to sleep, Catherine awoke and smiled at the couple snuggled up on the bed. She silently walked over to the other side of the room, grabbed the blanket Sara had brought with her and draped it over them.

"Hi Cath." Grissom opened his eyes to the strawberry blonde that was now stood at the foot of the bed.

"Hey Griss. How you feeling?"

"Better. How's Sara been?" The worry and sadness that flashed in Grissom's eyes were mirrored in Catherine's emerald greens.

"She's getting there Gil. She's just glad you're still with us." Catherine smiled, started to stride silently once more to the door, but stopped, turned back to look at Grissom and Sara. "Look after her Gil. She's really needs you at the moment."

"I promise Cath."

"I'll be in later." Catherine twinkled at Grissom and walked out the room, leaving Sara and Grissom in peace. At least, until the guys arrived.

A/N: So, what do think Sara and Grissom will say/do when the gang arrives? Do you want Sara to tell Grissom she's pregnant and how?
I hope you enjoyed it!! Can't wait to here what you all think.
Take care.
