Chapter 11

By the time the guys got into the hospital the doctor had walked up to them and told them that Catherine was up and alert she had a slight concussion, a few stitches on her head, was a little dehydrated and they would like to keep her over night for observation but other than that she was going to be fine.

Sara was a little dehydrated and the drug that got into her system was not life threatening so she could leave in a few hours. They all did collective sighs of relief thanked the doctor and went to the room since Sara and Catherine were sharing one. When they walked in the room they saw Nick by Catherine's side smiling.

Grissom walked over to the chair that was next to Sara's bed, sat down, took her hand and looked at her.

The rest of the gang all smiled and told both girls how happy it was to know they will be alright.

Catherine looks at Grissom and Sara then at her boyfriend and said. "How about we go have a little walk?"

Nick looks at Catherine and said. "Are you sure your up for that?"

Catherine nodded and said. "Yes my head is the one that got hit not my legs, come on." She gives him the best puppy dog look and Nick mentally sighed, knowing he was beat, he gets up from the side of the bed, moves the covers off of Catherine and helped her up. when she was standing she took a few seconds to wait for the dizziness to stop, Nick looks at her worriedly and she said. "I am fine, I promise." He gives her a little smile and kisses her on the forehead then takes her hand and started walking. They get to the door and Catherine looks back at Warrick and Greg and said. "come on you two give them some privacy."

Warrick and Greg nod then they both patted Sara on the shoulder and the four of them walked out of the room.

When the door shut, Sara tightens her hold on Grissom's hand, he was still staring at her, she smiles a little and said. "what? you haven't blinked since you got in here."

He shook his head, sighed and said. "Because that's all it could take. A blink and you could have been gone for good." he looked so sad and miserable, she patted the spot next to her on the bed, he gets up off the chair and sits on the bed next to her, puts his arms around her shoulders and she lays her head on his chest so she could hear his heart beat, he kissed her head and Sara basks in the moment then after a few minutes of silence Grissom speaks. "Sara there is…"

She cuts him off. "I know about the kiss, Catherine told me." Sara lefts her head up and looks into his eyes and again she saw sadness and he was upset with himself for betraying her. She shakes her head puts her hand on his cheek and said. "you didn't betray me it was a situation that was out of your control you thought she was me."

He kept looking into her eyes and replied. "I should have known that women wasn't you, the signs were right in front of me, I could sense it, I could feel it..I..." he stops to tried to calm his emotions, then continued. "If I have lost you I…" he stopped again and looked away not wanting her to see the tears in his eyes.

She brings his face back to look at her, she wipes a tear that leaked out of the corner of his eye and said.
"You didn't lose me. I am right here with you and I'm fine. I know the situation was out of your control so just forget everything that happened from the moment I left the lab yesterday till now because it doesn't matter, OK? can you do that and not let it eat at you?"

He puts his hand on her cheek and said. "I'll try. I just love you so much and I want you to know that I would never intentionally hurt you."

He wipes some tears off her cheeks while she is nodding her head and replying. "Yes I know and you didn't hurt me, believe me." She leans toward him and he leans toward her and finally their lips touched. She wanted to claim what was hers and hers alone.

The moment their lips touched, Grissom defiantly felt this was right, everything was perfect and back in place.
Finally air became an issue so they pulled back and put their foreheads together and when they got their air back she said with a smirk. "I bet her kiss wasn't like that?"

They both felt the depth of emotion in that kiss. He smiles and chuckles a little, pulls back a little further to look into her beautiful brown eyes, his Sara's eyes, and replied. "Your kisses can't compare or compete with anyone else's."

She smiles and they peck each other on the lips and get back to their original spot, her head was back on his chest and his arm around her shoulders and after he kissed her head again Sara talked. "So what happened to Haley?"

Grissom took a breath and told her everything that concerned Haley and Sara was surprised by it all, then finally he finished with. "And she stopped taking the medication around the same time of her almost attack, I guess she thought she didn't need them anymore and became well obsessed with me." he puts his chin on the top of her head.

She was quiet for a minute, taking in all the information Grissom told her and said. "wow I had no idea, I am sorry." She still felt a little guilty having her stay here.

He takes his chin off the top of her head and kissed it again then said. "It's not your fault honey, you didn't know what will happen and now like you said it's over and done with." She nodded, he sighed, grabbed her left hand seeing the missing ring and said. "it seems like I have to buy you a new one."

She shook her head, pulled back to look in his eyes and replied. "The only ring I care about is the wedding band as long as I have that I don't care, all the important people know we're engaged, alright?"

He nods smiles and said. "ok your choice." she nods and he continued with a smile. "now lets concentrate on our future."

Sara smiles at the words 'our' and 'future' snuggles into him, he brings his other arm around her so she is cocooned into his arms and she said. "That sounds wonderful." he smiles bigger and they just lay there thinking of the bright future they will have together.
