Well this Is a first for me. I watched the pilot episode again the other night and after a discussion with someone this story was born. The pairing’s a bit unusual but we’ll see where it goes. Please Review. xx
She was quite happily in her own dreamland, they were walking along the beach hand and hand and she was about to propose then a phone rang. The shrill sound of her mobile brought her out of that dream; reality hit her in the face. An unknown caller id appeared on her screen and she answered it immediately
'Hello?' her voice was filled with sleep and she slowly headed out of bed towards the bathroom
'Is this Mrs. Gribbs-Sidle?' the voice was soothing and she knew immediately something was wrong
'Yes What’s Happened?' no one ever addressed her as Mrs. Gribbs-Sidle...it was only ever their friends when they were messing about which meant if someone was calling her by that name then something had happened to Holly
'I'm sorry to tell you but your wife Holly has been involved in an incident, it seems she was shot during her work. She's in the OR at the moment but you should get here as soon as possible' The colour on her face drained immediately, as soon as she hung up she was quickly dressing and barely paused to lock the door as she rushed out the flat and down to her car.
She would be surprised to she didn't incur any speeding fines as she raced through the streets between her flat...correction their flat, and the hospital. She practically abandoned the car in the parking lot and she could her footsteps echoing across the lot as she headed for the hospital entrance. Approaching the desk she tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for the girl to finish her phone call.
'Can you tell me where Mrs. Gribbs-Sidle is please?' her voice held more politeness than she thought it would but she knew it sounded forced. All she wanted at that moment was to see Holly but it seemed as if the minutes were stretching into hours as she waited for the girl to reply.
'3rd Floor. Ask at the desk for her' the abrupt response was as unexpected and expected, they'd received some harsh comments in the year they'd been married and she supposed they'd started to get used to them but she wasn't expecting to receive such a response from hospital personnel. Deciding she didn't care she headed towards the elevator before deciding the stairs would give her something to focus on.
She reached the third floor and was pleased the nurse there automatically directed her towards the hard plastic chairs outside the room Holly would be brought to when she was out of the OR.
As she headed towards the line of chairs she noticed a group of people arguing, the older man appeared to be trying to get some sense out of the black guy whilst a woman and two men stood away to the side. She caught the tail end of the argument
'Why would you leave her there Warrick...her first day, Christ you were supposed to look out for her' the woman interrupted before the other male could react
'This isn't helping Holly is it Gil? Warrick? Please just sit down, her next of kin will be here soon do you really want them to hear about the mistakes made today before they know if she's okay?'
They shook their heads and sat down either side of her. Sara walked quickly towards the group 'Are you here with Holly Gribbs?'
The shock was obvious on their faces, the woman nodded 'I'm Catherine Willows..Are you Holly's next of kin?'
I nearly laughed at the way she assumed I was Holly's sister or something. Holly had said she wasn't intending to tell her colleagues about our relationship, she didn't want to receive the same reaction she had in 'Frisco. Realised she hadn't responded she offered the group a tight smile and nodded
'Sara Gribbs-Sidle, I'm Holly's wife pleased to meet you' Catherine shook her hand and didn't seem in the least bit bothered by the revelation. The other members eyed her warily before smiling and introducing themselves.
Time seemed to pass so slowly as we all waited for news on Holly's condition. Catherine had moved away from the group and we sat side-by-side talking about mine and Holly's relationship and Catherine's daughter Lindsay. I realised that I was being more open with Catherine about me and Holly than I ever had been before but I found myself not in the least bit scared by it, I knew immediately I could trust Catherine and anyone could see that she was supporting me. And if I was honest with myself I needed her support. I didn't know how I was going to handle the news when a doctor eventually arrived.
