I'm still working on this but here is the first installment for chapter 40.
Chapter 40 ? A Night Not To Forget
As it was Sunday and nothing had been planned the whole household had a deserved lay in.
Sara and Aaron spent the rest of the morning and afternoon catching up with Andrew. Gil had decided he needed a new shirt for an up coming meeting he forgot about.
Gil returned with four packages. He was please the others where still out. He took the boxes to Sara?s room and unpacked them. He hung his new suit and the other items. He hoped Sara would like them.
Grissom was franticly looking for a small box, the one he picked up a few days ago in Vegas. He went through both of his bags throwing all the contents on the floor but no luck. He went out to the SUV and tore through that, but still no luck inside. He went round to the back and opened the boot and started rummaging. He moved his field kit out the way and still nothing. It was only when he put his kit back into the boot, he opened it, thinking it would not be in there. There it was lying on top. He carefully open it, to make sure the contents was still in tack.
Gil quickly close the box and shove it into his pocket, when he heard a vehicle pull up behind him.
?What are you up to??
?Just making space for the extra boxes and luggage.?
?There?s a couple more in the back of the pick-up.?
?How was your morning??
?Productive.?
?I was thinking as it?s our last night here we could go out for dinner?Just the two of us??
?Sure, Drew is taking Aaron to the movies. I guess I?d better go and find something to wear then. What time are we going??
?In about 3 hours.?
Sara went into the house, followed closely by Gil. She went upstairs and he went into the kitchen.
?Everything set??
?Yes, thank you for looking after Aaron Andrew.?
?My pleasure, I?m going to miss him when you leave.?
?You are more then welcome to come and visit anytime.?
?Likewise Gil.?
Two hours later
Gil had gone for a shower and to get ready for dinner. Sara was tending to Aaron before he left with Drew for the movies.
With the boys gone, Sara went upstairs for her shower and to get ready. She still did not know what to wear.
As Sara walked into the room, Gil looked over at her. He had is collar popped, as he was putting on his tie. Sara smiled at him; whenever he had his collar that way it made her go weak in the knees.
?I wont be long.?
?There?s no hurry, we have plenty of time.?
Gil had put Sara?s dress and other gifts in the bathroom, she still hadn?t seen them.
The doorbell rang
?I?ll get it.?
Gil was gone before Sara had a chance to thank him for the dress.
As Sara was drying herself, she noticed a small box on the side; she opened it, smiled to herself and put the contents on. ?I wonder what he has planned?? She thought.
Now dressed, she left the bathroom to find Gil and thank him. As she stepped into the bedroom, she was greeted with a bouquet of roses and another box.
Gil stood in the doorway as she opened the small box.
Sara?s eyes lit up as she opened it. It contained a white gold butterfly with a amethyst protruding from its centre.
Gil walked up behind her, he kissed her neck and placed the pendent around it.
?You look amazing!? He whispered.
Sara turned round and pulled him in for a kiss.
