"Hospitals" - a C/S drabble
Fandom: CSI
Pairing: Cath/Sara
A/N: This is my first "unenhanced" writing. It's just a drabble. Just want to see if I could do it. Please give feedback, its important for me to know what people thought of this one (those of you close to me will know why, I believe.)

That first night in the hospital... the beeping of the heart monitor kept me awake all night. or I should say, I kept myself awake all night listening to it. Making sure that it kept beeping. I listened for every single beep, as if afraid the next one may never come. In truth, that's exactly what I was afraid of.
Some people say that hospitals are where people go to die. But not me - not anymore. A hospital is where she went to live. And I will never forget. I held her cold hand all through the first night. I listened to the beeping of the heart monitor and I watched her face. Mercifully sedated and peacefully sleeping. She looked angelic. I was terrified that night, but now I look back on the whole ordeal with mixed memories. Good ones, bad ones, sad ones, and even some happy ones. Like the day she was discharged and agreed to come home with me. I was so scared to ask her to stay with me for a while and when she said yes I laughed, and then she laughed too. And her smile was amazing. I don't know what I would do without her smile.
We walked out of the hospital together that day, and together we have beeen, every day since.
