“Thanks you Caitlin that is all I need from you.”

Jim and Nick walk into the house as Sara turns the tape recorder off. Jim and Nick looks at Sara and Caitlin and Sara can tell by the looks on Jim and Nick face that the two of them are worried about Caitlin who has lay her head against the back of the couch and has her eyes shut and her left hand on her forehead, with her right hand on her stomach.

“Sara I want you to take Caitlin to Desert Palms hospital and have her look at.”

‘I have already lock the SAFE kits from Liz, Stacey and Tracy in the SUV Catherine come here in and I parked on the street to not block you in.”

“Ok and I am going to take the bathroom trash can that is next to the couch with us, incase Caitlin needs to get sick to her stomach. Nick can you help Caitlin out to the SUV, I will be out there in a few minutes.”

“Sure Sarah.”

Caitlin goes to stand up, but her legs give out on her. Nick catches Caitlin and pick her up. Then Sara hand Caitlin the small bathroom trash can to hold. At the same time Jim open up the front door for Nick who is going to carry Caitlin out to the SUV.

“Sara have a nurse do a SAFE kit on Caitlin to be on the safe side. “

“Ok.”

Sara walks to the front door of the house and grab her crime scene kit and then walk out of the house and over to the SUV. Sara open up the back door on the drive side and put her crime seat kit onto the back seat. A few moments later Sara gets into SUV, Sara looks through the review mirror and makes sure no one is coming down the street. A few moments later Sara backs the SUV out of the driveway and start drivers to Desert Palms Hospital, at the same time Nick heads inside the house to help Catherine finish processing the crime scene.
Sara keeps looking out of the corner of her right eye at Caitlin, as she drives to the hospital to have Caitlin check out by a doctor. Sara has to stop for a red-light two blocks away from the hospital and as soon as the car stop the SUV Caitlin leans over the trash can and start throwing up. Sara wants to help Caitlin, but has to take off from the light because it turns green. A minute and half later Sara pulls the crime lab SUV into the hospital parking lot and into the fifth parking space of the eighth row. Sara then put the SUV into the parked position, then turns the SUV off. Sara gets out of the SUV and closes the driver door. Sara then goes over to the passenger sided of the SUV and open up the passengers’ door.

“Caitlin can you walk into the hospital or do you want me to get you a wheelchair?”

“I am too weak to walk.”

“Thank you Sara.”
 
Sara closes the passengers’ door of the SUV, then locks the SUV. Sara then walks up to the ER doors and gets a wheelchair. Sara then pushes the wheelchair out to the crime lab SUV. Once at the SUV Sara hits the unlock button on the SUV Remote control Keychain and then open up the passengers’ door. Then Sara help Caitlin out of the SUV and into the wheelchair, a few minutes later Sara pushes Caitlin into the ER waiting area and a nurse walks up to them and Sara and Caitlin sees the nurse name tag say Faith and Sara hold up her Crime lab ID for the nurse to see.

“Can I help you?”

“I need for you to do a SAFE kit on the girl, to check to see if she was rape, because she passes out and does not know. I also need pictures’ take of any bruise that could be on her body. In addition I want a doctor to give her a full check up because she has the flu and stomach flu and can’t keep anything down and is too weak to walk.”

“Ok, lets takes her back to the examine area and get her into a hospital gown.”
“Can Sara come back with us?”

“Sure.”

Nurse Faith takes over pushes the wheelchair and Sara follows them to the ER examine area. Once back in examine area, the three of them head into the first curtain area and then Sara helps the nurse get Caitlin out of the wheelchair and help Caitlin sit down on the hospital bed. Sara walks out of the curtain area and pulls the curtain shut, so nurse Faith can help Caitlin into the hospital gown. A few minutes later Nurse Faith open the curtain up and walk over to Sara.

“I am going to go get the SAFE kit, then I will come back and do the kit.”

The Nurse comes back two minutes later and does the SAFE Kit and also take pictures of the bruise on Caitlin’s upper thighs. Then the nurse looks at Sara with a look that let Sara knows that Nurse Faith wants to speak with away from Caitlin.

I will be back in a minute Caitlin.”

“That is fine Sara.”

Sara stands up from the chair and follows the nurse out of the exam area. The nurse closes the curtain around the exam area and then the nurse and Sara walk over to the nurse desk to put some distance between them and Caitlin, so there is less chance that Caitlin will hear them talking.

“What did the SAFE Kit tell you?”

“She was rape.”

“Were there any signs of past sexual abuse?”

“Yes at lest four other times.”

“Thank you for letting me know.”

Sara takes the SAFE Kit and her camera from the nurse and then walks over to the exam area that Caitlin at and sits down on the chair by the hospital bed. Sara then set the camera on the floor and set the box that the SAFE kit was put into for transport down on the floor next to the camera.

Nurse Brown then writes a note onto Caitlin chart.

“She has a fever of 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit, Dr. Steven.”

“Caitlin, can you tell me what symptoms do you have?

“Coughing. I have a very sore throat, a cough, been running a fever and have not been able to keep anything down for three and half days. In addition am really cold and really weak too.”
“Have you pass out?”

“Yes a couple times Nurse Brown, After I see my fostered Dad strangled my three-year-old fostered sister to death this evening and when my fostered Mom wakes all the girls up for school this morning.”

“While did she get you up?”

“To have me use the bathroom before all the other girls need the bathroom and to check my fever. I pass out walking back to the bedroom from the bathroom. Stacey one of my fostered sisters catches me before I hit the ground.”

“Nurse Brown, I want you to put an IV in Caitlin left arm and start her on IV medicines to reduce her fever and to help her stop throwing up, Also an IV to rehydrate her.”
“Yes Dr. Steven.”

Nurse Brown walks away from Sara and Caitlin and gets the stuff to start the IV and the IV medicine bags too. She comes back a few minutes later and start Caitlin IV. Nurse Brown then helps Caitlin into the wheelchair and pushes the wheelchair Caitlin is siting in up to hospital room 204. Once up in the room Nurse Brown help Caitlin into the hospital bed and then Caitlin pull the cover up. Sara had come up Nurse Brown and Caitlin because she could not leave Caitlin until a social worker gets there. Sara sits down on the Lazy boy that is on the left side of the hospital bed and then turns on the TV and start flip through the stations.

“Stop flip through the station and let stay on this channel, look the Wizard of OZ is just starting.”
“Sure Caitlin.”

Caitlin and Sara start watching the Wizard of Oz and four minutes later a social worker walks into the room and over to the couch that is on the wall across from the hospital room door and sits down on the couch and look at Sara. Sara looks away from the tv and looks at the social worker and see it is Mrs. Hope.

“You can leave now Miss Sidle.”

“Can Sara can you stay till I fall asleep?”

“Sure Caitlin.”

The three ladies go back to watch the Wizard of Oz and fifteen minutes later Caitlin is asleep. Sara stands up from the lazy boy chair and pick up the SAFE kit and camera. Sara then walks to the hospital room door and walks out of the room, the Social worker follows Sara out of the hospital room and closes the door behind her.

“Is there anything you need to tell me Miss. Sidle?”

“Caitlin was rape after she passes out by her foster dad.”

“Poor girl, she been through and enough in her life and she did not need this. Here a copy of Caitlin case files along with the copy of Stacey, Liz, Tracy and Misty’s case files. I would read them through when you get free time.”


Mrs. Hope holds the cases files out and Sara takes the cases files from the social worker. Then Sara and Mrs. Hope gives each other a sad and Sara start to talk.

“I will read the girls cases files and thank you. I need to get the SAFE kit to the DNA lab and get the same trace that the nurse found when doing the SAFE kit to Hodges.”
 
Sara walks away from the social worker and five minutes later Sara is driving to the crime lab. When Sara pulls the crime lab SUV into the parking space for SUV number two, there are tears running down her face. Sara puts the SUV into the parked position and turns the SUV. She then grabs a tissue from the box of tissues set on the floor of the passengers’ side of the SUV and wipes the tears away. A few minutes later Sara walks into the crime lab carry her crime scene kit in her left hand and the SAFE kit and camera in her right hand. Sara checks the evidences into the lab and then put her crime scene kit in Gil Grissom office. Sara goes and gives the DNA evidences to Wendy and then Sarah walks to the trace and when she gets to the trace lab find no one in the in lab, She pulls one of the stools up to the counter and sits down on the stool. Sara then set the evidence she needs Hodges to run on the lab table and as she is waiting for Hodges to get back to the lab she starts to read Caitlin’s case files from social service. Hodges comes into the lab ten minutes later and walks right pass Sara, like he did not even notice she was in the lab and walks over to his desk. Hodges sits down on his desk chair and puts his head down on the desk then closes his eyes. Sara clear her throat to get his attention, but he does not look up at Sara.

“Hodges did you not notice I am here and have trace evidence I need you to run!”


Hodges lift up his head and looks at Sara, he then rolls his eyes at Sara then lays his head back down on his desk.

“Put the evidence in the in box and then go away.”

“I need the evidences run right away Hodges!”

“I will get to when I feel like it Sara, now leave my lab!”

“Hodges it the only evidence you have to run, can you just run it for me right now?”

“Sara don’t start thinking you get special treatment seeing that you are pregnant, because you do not. At lest not in my lab, now get out of my lab.”

“I do not want special treatment I just want to know what this funny looking pink hard stuff is Hodges?”

“Fine Sara.”

Hodges stands up from his desk chair and walks over to the counter. He puts on a pair of latex gloves and then open up the evidence bag that the hard pink item is in.
Hodges then put the evidence under the microscope and looks at it. He then runs some other tests on the evidence, while Sara is reading the case file.

“I know what it is Sara!”

“What is it Hodges?”

“It pink plastic that break off of a pink doll bed.”

“Thank you for running it for me.”

“Here is the the printout of my results, now get out of my lab!”

Hodges holds the printout out to Sara and she takes the printout from Hodges and despite him wearing a pair of latex gloves Hodges hand feels warm to the touch. Sara looks at Hodges and notice that he is now holding his stomach.

“I say to get out of my lab Sara.”

“I will in a minutes Hodges, but is everything all right because you are holding your stomach and have start to look green?”

Hodges does not answers Sara back he just run out of the trace lab and down the hallway to the men’s restroom. Sara stands up and grabs the five girls’ case files and set the trace printout of her evidence on top of the case files. Sara then walks out of the trace lab and start looking around for Nick and Catherine, so she can tell Nick and Catherine what she learned from Hodges. Sara finds Nick and Catherine sitting at the table in the break room looking over they copies of the girls social service files. Sara walks into the break room and sitting down on the table across from Catherine, who break is to the break room couch.

“Catherine or Nick when the two of you process the girls’ bedroom did you find pink plastic doll bed that was breaking?

(Nick and Catherine) yes, why are you asking?”

“The Nurse, find a break piece of pink plastic when she was doing Caitlin SAFE kit.”

“The fostered Dad rape her too?”

“Yes Nick and he used a foreign body too.”

At the same time Wendy walks into the break room and then walk over to the table. Wendy hands Sara, Nick and Catherine each a printout and then Wendy start talking really fast because she want them to know what she found out when she run the DNA.

“The DNA that was found in all five girls’ match the fostered dad and his DNA was in the database because of being a foster parent and navy officer.”
“I will call Jim Brass and let him know.”


Nick stand up from the chair and walk out of the break room to call Jim Brass. At same time Sara and start yawning into her left hand, when she stop yawning Sara start to talk.

“Cath, I am going to go home and take a shower and get something to eat and try to relax for a little while, then I will come back and work on the case some more.”

Sara then heads home and once home Sara head straight up to the master bedroom. When Sara walks into the bedroom drops her stuff on her and Gil’s bed and then goes into the master bathroom to take a long shower.
 
Author Note: I thought I should point out the reason Grissom mom is name Helen and not Betty like in the show in this fan fictions and Catherine Family life and the other fan fiction that goes with this one, the reason for this is I started writing this fan fiction way before the eleventh season of the show, which is the first time season that Gil Grissom mother appear on the show and her name was revealed to be Betty Grissom in the episode Two Mrs. Grissom and I chose to keep the name Helen instead of Betty, because I think Helen’s match Mrs. Grissom personal better then Betty.

She really did not need to use the bathroom but needs to take her temperature, but does not want Beth or Bob to know that she was is feeling good or has a fever, because she has three tests in school today. Sara gets the thermometer out of the medicine cabinet and then puts the thermometer into her mouth. Sara then sits down on the edge of the bathtub and wait a minute. After a full minute she takes the thermometer out of her mouth and sees that she indeed has a fever and it was 102.1 degrees Fahrenheit. After she put the thermometer away, Sara goes back to her bedroom and grabs her backpack off of her bedroom floor. Sara then slowly walks downstairs trying hard to forgot how nausea the smell of the food is making her. A few minutes later Bob and Beth see Sara set her backpack down on the couch before walking into the kitchen and sitting down at the kitchen table. Bob walks over and set down a plate full of bacon, eggs and two pieces of toast in front of Sara, then Beth hands Sara a glass of apple juice, a few moments later Beth and Bob join Sara at the table for breakfast. Mr. Car look at Sara who has start to eat a piece of toast.

“So Sara’s are you ready for your algebra 2, Science and English tests today?”

“I guess so Bob.”

Sara set the toast back down on the plate, Mrs. Cat looks over at Sara and notice she only take one bite of toast and has not touch the rest of her breakfast yet.”

“Sara’s you only eat one bite of toast and you really need to eat breakfast hat way you have enough energy to take all three tests this morning.”
“I do not have an appetite this morning.”

“At lest eat your toasts Sara.”

“Ok Bob and can I eat the toasts as I walk to school?”

“(Mr. and Mrs. Cat) sure Sara’s you need to get going anyway, I don’t want you to be late for school.”

Sara stands up from the chair she is sitting on and then pick up the two pieces of toast. Sara then grabs her backpack and walks out of the kitchen. Then Sara starts walking to the front door of the house to leave foe school, but Bob’s stop Sara and hand Sara’s her lunch bag. Sara puts her lunch in her backpack then leave for school. Once at the high school Sara goes to her first class which is algebra class. Once in the classroom she walks to the back of the classroom and walks over to the desk that is in the corner that is by the window. Before sitting down to review her notes, Sara open up the window to let the wind blow into the classroom, because she is burning up and can’t cool down. She then moves her desk closes to the window. The bell rings for class to start rings and the rest of the class comes into the class room. The algebra teacher Miss. Simpson walks into the classroom and start passes out the test.

“All right class you have the whole hour to take the test, but if you get down early start working on chapter six, seven and eight in your textbook.”

Sara and the rest of the class start taking the test and Sara finish her test within her normal twenty minutes, then Sara walks her finish test up to the teacher’s desk and puts the test on the done pile. But instead of starting the new chapters she lays her head down on her desk and closes her eyes until the bell to head to second hour rings. In second and third hours classes Sara takes her tests and finish in twenty minutes like the math test, then lays her head done on the desk and lab table after taking the tests in English and Science classes too. At the start of fourth hour, which is lunch hour for Sara and her best friend of three years Katie and Sara is exhausted. All that Sara wants to do is sleep, but know if she brings the lunch home uneaten Beth and Bob will give her the speech about how eating three meals a day is the most important part of the day. Sara and Katie walk into the lunch room and sit down at a table by the lunch room doors, half way through lunch Katie sees that Sara has stops eating her peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich and that Sara is staring into space. She also notices that Sara has started to look really pale.

“Sara’s are you alright?”

“Yes, I just need to use the restroom.”

“Sara’s I am worry about you because you went to sleep after the tests in are last three classes and have only take a few bites of your sandwich before you stop eaten it.”

“I don’t have an appetite gagging today.”

Sara start gagging again and the stands up then runs out of the lunch room and down the hallway to the girl’s restroom. Once in the restroom Sara runs into the first stall and drops down in front of the toilet and start throwing up the toast and few bite of lunch that she ate into the toilet. When Sara does not come back into the lunch for the rest of lunch Katie walks into the girls restroom with her backpack and Sara backpack.

‘Sara’s are you in here.”

“I am in the first stall.”

“Are you come to fifth hour?”

“Retching no I am going go to the, retching.”

“To the nurse station and then you are going to home sick?”

“I will sat you backpack by the stall that you are in.”

“Thank you Katie.”
When Sara has finally stop getting sick to her stomach four and half minutes later, she heads to the nurse stations. Sara sit down on the chair by the nurse Finn’s desk.

“What brings you to see me, Sara Sidle?”

“I just throw my lunch up in the girls’ restroom and I am exhausted and achy all over, can I have a pass to go home sick?”

“Ok.”

The nurse take Sara temperature and find that Sara is running a fever of 103.9 degrees Fahrenheit.

“Can I leave school and walk home now?”

“You can go home sick, but I am calling Mrs. Cat to come pick you up from school.”

“OK.”

Ten minutes later Beth and Bob come running into the school nurse station and right over to Sara who has fallen asleep on the recover couch that is across from the nurse desk. Bob picks up Sara and carries her out of the nurse station and outside to the car. Once at home Bob carries Sara into the house and upstairs to her bedroom. At this point Sara fall to sleep until her cellphone stars ring in her ear two hours later. Sara rolls over in bed so she is facing the nightstand and pick up her cellphone. Sara sees that it is unknown phone number so set the cellphone back on the nightstand. Sara then gets out of bed and Sara walks out of her bedroom and down the hallway and up to Caitlin’s open bedroom door to see that her niece is still sleep.

“It you sweetie and you looking feverish.”

“I feel feverish to Warrick, coughing (into left hand).”

Tina walks away from Warrick and Sara and up to Caitlin. Tina then put her hand onto Caitlin’s forehead, which feels warm to the touch. Tina takes her hand off of Caitlin’s forehead and at the same time Warrick and Sara walk up beside Tina, who is looking down at Caitlin with a worried look on her face.

“Caitlin, what was your temperature the last time you check it?”

“99.6 degrees Fahrenheit.”

“It feel like your fever has gone up, come downstairs to the ER with me and I will check your temperature?”

Caitlin does not say anything just shut her eyes again, Sara look at her niece and then look over at Tina Brown.

“That sound like a good Idea Tina.”

“You work in the ER Tina?

Caitlin stands up from the chair and then the four of them walk downstairs to the ER and Tina has Caitlin sit down on the hospital bed in curtain area one. Tina walks over to the nurse counter and grabs her stethoscope and a thermometer. Then give Warrick a kiss on the lips and she kisses him back.

“I was able to keep some water down today.”

“I am going to give you some Tylenol to take with a cup of water and a small cup of jell-O eat and once you eat the Jell-O I am sent you home with Sara to get some rest.”

Tina walks out of curtain area one and goes and gets the Tylenol, water and Jell-O’s then come back and gives them to Caitlin. Caitlin eats the jell-O first then take the two Tylenol with a drink of water. After she had finish the water Sara and Caitlin head outside to Sara’s SUV and then the two of them head home. Fourteen and half minutes later Caitlin is walking upstairs. A minute later Caitlin walks into her bedroom and lays down on the bed. She then pulls the bedspread up and falls right to sleep. At the same time Sara goes into the master bedroom and calls Gil. His cellphone ring three time then he picks up.

“I am doing well and so are your son and daughter.”

“We are have one of each Sara?”

“I love you too.”

Sara flips her cellphone close and set the cellphone on the nightstand. Then Sara’s
lies down on the bed and close her eyes. Sara then put her hands on top of her stomach and smiles when she feels her son and daughter kicking. In just the few days that Gil has been gone she has gain ten more pounds and she had to go up to the next size in maternity clothing. Sara slowly starts to fall asleep and at the sometime starts dream about Saturday, September, 19,1987, Sara wakes up her alarm clock going off. She has been dread today because her social worker is coming to take her to a new foster home. She would not mind leave so much if she wasn’t sick, but she has not kept anything down for two days now and is still run a fever of 103.9 degrees Fahrenheit. She knows that she will be fine at the new foster home because it where her best friend Katie lives too, who is also in fostered care. She just does not feel up to ride in a car even if it only for two blocks. She hears Beth open up her bedroom door, but does not roll over because she is too nausea to move. Beth walks into the bedroom and walk over to the bed. Mrs. Cat the sits down on the edge of Sara’s bed and feels her forehead.

“Sara’s your social work just called she going to be here in two minutes to get you and take you to the new home.”

“ I not up to moving gagging can you talk to her when she gets here and......”

Sara stop talking and put her hand over her mouth and looks at Beth. Who grabs the trash can next to Sara’s bed and hands the trash can to Sara, who take her hand off her mouth and grabs the trash can and then start throwing up into the trash can. At the same time Beth pulls Sara’s hair out of the way, so it does not get into her mouth.

“I will try Sara.”

“Retching.”

At the same time Bob walks up to Sara’s bedroom door with Mrs. Rich Sara social worker, Beth looks over at Bob and then he leads Mrs. Rich downstairs to the living room. Two minutes later Sara and Beth walk into the living room and Beth has her right arm around Sara who is still hold the trash can and throwing up into the trash can. Sara and Beth walk over to the Lazy boy chair and Sara sat down on the lazy boy. After Sara stops throwing up, Sara rest her head against the back of the chair and closes her eyes. Beth walk over to the social worker with a worried look on her face.

“Mrs. Rich is there anyway that you can change the day Sara goes to the Cooks house, because she is really sick and not up to ride in a car?”

“I am afraid not I have to go out of town after I drop her off because of a family emergency, so this morning the only time I can do it.”

“Can one of the other social workers take me over to the Cook house when I feel better Mrs. Rich?”

“Sara’s you know that not how it works, now come on we need to get going.”

“I will go get you bags Sara.”

“Thank you Beth.”

Mrs. Rich open up the passenger seat door and Bob set Sara onto the front seat and put her seatbelt on just as Beth walk outside and put all four of Sarah’s bags into the truck of the car. Beth then walks over to the front seat and heads Sarah her backpack.

“It is ok and I hope you feel better soon.”

Beth close the car door and then Bob and Beth walks toward the house. A few moments later Bob and Beth watch as Mrs. Rich pulls out of the driver, Sara looks out the car window and sees Beth is crying. She can tell my just looking at Bob and Beth face there are thinking did we make the right choice about taking a year off from having a fostered child in the house after the baby born, should we have let her stay. Sara closes her eyes for the rest of the ride because the movement of the car is making her really nausea and she is thinking to herself what Mr. Cook might be like, she has met Mrs. Cook when she went over to study with Katie or bring her homework when she misses School, but Mr. Cook has always been at work when she came over. Katie would not let her into the house if he was home. Sarah starts to cry half way to the Cook house and grab her stomach because it has starts to hurt really badly and she just wants the car ride to be over with. Mrs. Rich stops for a red light and looks over at Sara.

“Sara, you better not throwing up in my car.”

“I will try not too.”

The rest of the ride to the Cook house Sara has her eyes closed and her left hand over her mouth, as soon Mrs. Rich had stopped the car and put the car in parked position Sara open up the car door and get out of the social workers’ car. Sara then runs up to the two story house and in through the front door that her friend Katie had just open. Sara then runs upstairs and into the bedroom she and Katie are going to share.

“Are you still sick?”

“Yes”

“I will put you things away for you.”

Sara sits down on the bed and slips her shoes off, she stands up longer enough to pull the cover down then get into the bed and Katie pulls the cover up for Sara.

“Thank you for bring up my bags.”

“You are welcome and Mrs. Cook will be upstairs to talk to you after she is done talking to Mrs. Rich and you will meet Mr. Cook at dinner to night and you have to sit at the dinner table no matter how sick you are.”

“What room does Mr. and Mrs. Cook sleep in?”
