Chapter 15
He is still sitting on the sofa when he feels her sit next to him. "I hate waking without you next to me," she tells him laying her head on his shoulder.
"I am sorry love," he tells her holding her. "I just had some thinking to do."
"Care to fill me in?" she asks. "I want to resign," he tells her.
"Leave CSI?" she asks surprised at his statement. "Yes," he tells her. Sara pulls away from him and starts to laugh, "I have been thinking about the same thing."
"You want to leave too?" he said as confused as she was.
"Yes," she tells him, "I want to be a full time mom and wife." Gil let's out a deep laugh.
"I have been been talking to Professor Keller at WLVU," he says pulling her back to him. "There is a part time professorship opening up. I want to take it. I can do that and be a consultent for the lab on the side. That should keep our income at an exceptable level."
Sara smiled. "I like the idea. But will Ecklie?" Gil kissed her, "Who cares about Conrad Ecklie." "It will give me a while to get things in order here," he tells her.
"Sara Elizabeth will be three months old by then." "Ladybug sounds cute," he says kissing her. Sara looks at him and smiles.
Five months later Sara Elizabeth Grissom makes her appearance.
Two months later Gil calls a team meeting. "Warrick just told me that Catherine just delivered their son, they have named him Samuel Jeffery. She will be on a 6 week leave, when she comes back she will be taking over as supervisor.
I will still be here as a consultant. It has been a pleasure working with all of you, I have learned a lot." That said he goes to his office and shuts the door.
ONE YEAR LATER:
It is Sara Beth's first birthday - no one calls her Ladybug but her father.
Sara and Catherine decide to combine the two party's.
Nick and Sophia married 6 months ago and they have just found out that they are expecting.
"Hon," Gil calls from the living room, "Phone is for you." She tells him to take over the decorating while she takes the call.
She goes out on the patio, where they are having the party and whispers something in Gil's ear. "Hot damn!" he yells wrapping her in his arms.
Catherine looks at them. "Ladybug is going to be a big sister," Gil tells her. Warrick smiles at Catherine, "How about us?" he asks her.
"Not on your life," Catherine tells him. Samuel is enough." "I was so hoping you would say that," Warrick says picking up his son and heading for the changing table.
"One little one is more then enough for me."
Nine months later Ryan James joins the Grissom family.
Sara Beth is not at all impressed with the crying baby that Mommy is holding.
