"I phoned you," shouted Catherine frustration seeding into anger.

"What's going on? Sara?" He dropped the bags he was carrying in the doorway and went straight over to the brunette on the couch who was still out of it.

"She's been really sick. She just fainted," explained Catherine moving out of the way, her eyes fixed on something she rarely saw; Grissom showing compassion. He was kneeling down stroking Sara's cheek wrapping his hand around her smaller one.

"Sick," mumbled Sara.

"I can see you are," replied Grissom almost getting head butted as Sara sat up.

Catherine, realizing Sara wasn't telling Grissom what was wrong, shoved the bucket under the heaving female just in time as she was violently sick before her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell back against the sofa.

"This isn't normal. We need to take her to the ER," said Catherine already taking charge because Grissom looked so lost. "I'll drive," She said grabbing her car keys and a washing up bowl. "Encase she wakes up and is sick again," Catherine explained while Grissom gently lifted Sara off the sofa, holding her burning body close to his, her slim frame barely weighing anything. Grissom gently placed Sara in the back of the Tahoe. Trying to get her seatbelt on was difficult and he wasn't sure if he should even try. After a few seconds of struggling as she came to, he gave in and climbed in next to her, pulling her body across his and holding her firmly. Catherine got in the front glancing quickly in the back to check that they were okay before setting off.

"She's coming around," said Grissom as a few mumblings came from the crumpled heap on his lap.

"Gil?" it sounded more like a question than a statement and it was. Sara wasn't sure if she was hallucinating because she was sure Grissom was cradling her like a child, while the world moved.

"I'm here," reassured Grissom stroking her hair back. "It's okay, we're going to hospital."

"Urgh," came an unrecognizable sound as Sara tried to focus on his face without getting sick again.

"Sara, stay with us okay," shouted Catherine from the front.

"Cath," whispered Sara trying to sit up but failing.

"Yes," said Catherine glancing in the mirror and seeing Grissom holding Sara on his lap her head resting against his shoulder her eyes threatening to close again.

"Sara, stay awake," shouted Catherine turning the corner a bit fast as the car behind honked.

"Cath, if we could there in one piece…" said Grissom, his voice surprisingly calm considering his hands were shaking.

"Hospital…" It had taken a while for that piece of information to penetrate Sara's sluggish brain but now that she was more alert.

"Yeah, we'll have you sorted out soon," replied Catherine.

"I don't want to go. Take me home," said Sara forming her first coherent sentence since waking, looking sternly at Grissom as she spoke.

"Sara, you passed out twice honey. You need to see a doctor," said Grissom holding her a little tighter as he wouldn't put jumping out of the car past her if she got worked up about something.

"Headache," muttered Sara rubbing her temples as her cheeks flushed red when her body temperature rose. Grissom had his arms wrapped around her waist her body perched half on the seat half across his legs shaking just noticeably.

"We're nearly there," announced Catherine more reassuring herself than anyone. "I think she's dehydrated," she added glancing in the mirror and regretting it as she saw Sara's condition. Her skin was porcelain white with her checks flushed red and sweat clearly visible.

"She is here," mumbled Sara waving her hand at Grissom in an attempt to get him to release his hold around her because it was making her nauseous.

Grissom wasn't too sure what his reply to that should be so kept quiet as Catherine swung the car around the corner into the hospital parking lot. Grissom didn't realize how close to getting covered in yesterday's dinner he was.

Catherine pulled the car violently into a space and flung the door open getting out and getting tangled in her seatbelt that she'd forgotten to undo. By the time she'd untangled herself Grissom was out of the car supporting Sara who point blank refused to be carried despite the facts he was shaking like a leaf. Between the two of them Catherine and Grissom managed to get a moaning Sara into the entrance of the ER without her colliding face first with the floor.

"It's a flu. I do no need to be at hospital," muttered Sara trying to dig her heels in but Catherine and Grissom were too strong for her in her current state.

"Flu can be very serious," said Grissom dragging Sara to the unoccupied admit desk.

"Hello," shouted Catherine banging on the desk. A nurse turned around ready go give Catherine a mouthful but stopped dead.

"Get a gurney," she shouted behind her and a women in a lab coat appeared through a door with two nurses.

"She's passed out twice," said Catherine as Sara was forced onto a gurney and wheeled around the back, Catherine and Grissom jogging to keep pace as Sara was wheeled into a side room.

They were forced back as the sudden rush of people began working on Sara.

"Who have we got?" the doctor asked looking at Grissom.

"Sara Sidle," replied Grissom

"Any known allergies?"

"No."

"And you are?" she asked.

"Fiancé," replied Grissom causing Catherine to nearly bite her own tongue off but she kept quiet. She had had an idea anyway but him saying those words was quite a shock.

"Okay, you can stay but keep out the way," she said as numbers and orders were shouted.

"Dehydrated," said a younger man, also in a lab coat, who then instructed a nurse who was setting up a drip to do something. The flurry of activity seemed to last forever to Grissom but eventually the amount of people in the room died down and the doctor turned to him indicating he could come over. Sara was now lying in a hospital gown. Grissom wasn't too sure when she had been changed as he'd been focussing on the floor for the past five minutes to stop himself from going insane with worry. She had a drip going into her right arm and was propped up on a pile of pillows looking slightly better then before.

"I'm doctor Childs," the lady said introducing herself properly to Grissom and Catherine.

"Miss Sidle's suffering from dehydration and we suspect a virus. I've sent some blood work off so once we've got those results we'll know more. Until then rest," she said turning to Sara who nodded. Once Dr Childs had left Grissom immediately pulled Sara into an embrace.

"This is all very well but who's going to look after me when I catch it?" asked Catherine once Grissom had released Sara and was just holding onto her hand gently in his own.

"Warrick," he replied simply. Catherine's mouth nearly hit the floor causing a small smile to spread across Sara's face.

"What?" asked Catherine managing to shut her mouth.

"Believe it or not I have become more intuitive to peoples relationships and yours and Warrick's flirting is obvious," said Grissom as Sara nodded.

"Even Hodges noticed," said Sara her voice still sounding weak.

"Great… Congratulations on your engagement," sighed Catherine. "I better go phone and check to make sure my mom got back okay," she said leaving Grissom and Sara alone for bit as Sara turned to look at Grissom who simply gave her a boyish grin.

When Catherine came back Grissom had placed a chair alongside Sara's bed for her to sit on as he perched on the side of the bed. Catherine had only been sitting down for a minute when Dr Childs came back in.

"I've got the results. Would you like to speak in private?" she asked looking at Catherine who immediately got up.

"No, it's okay. We've kept enough things private," said Sara who was beginning to realize that she had to let people in.

"Right. Well you'll be pleased to know it's just a stomach virus but it hit you so hard because you immune system has been compromised."

Sara interrupted, "Compromised?"

"Yes, during the first months of pregnancy your--"

This time Grissom interrupted, "Pregnancy?"

"You ruined my flow," smiled Dr Child. "Congratulations, you're pregnant."

All three jaws hit he floor.

"Is it okay? I mean with everything?" asked Sara playing with her drip.

"We'll keep an eye on you but this should have no long term effects. But due to your weakened immune system you'll have to be admitted for several days," she smiled. "I'll leave you to let it sink in."

"Maybe I should as well," said Catherine standing again.

"Yes," replied Grissom his voice monotone. This worried Catherine slightly as to how he was taking the news but Sara was still beaming away. "If you could phone the others. Get them here, we'll tell everyone at once."

"You're happy?" asked Catherine not meaning for it to have come out as bluntly as it did.

"We had a scare awhile back. We talked through everything then," replied Sara her fingers now laced with Grissom's.

"Oh. I'll go phone then," said Catherine walking away then turning around and pulling them into a big hug. "Only you who could get everything at once: dehydration, virus, and pregnant," smiled Catherine leaving.

"You're still okay with everything you said before?" asked Sara once Catherine was gone.

"I am," he replied a smile finally spreading across his face.
