Chapter 42 ? The Road Home
Gil and Sara checked out of the hotel, to meet up with Andrew and Aaron for a very late breakfast. When they arrived at the restaurant, they found them finishing up.
?How was your night?? Andrew said with a grin at his sister.
?Fine thanks.? She said as she glared at him. ?Aaron were you good for your Uncle??
?Yes, we went to the movies, then stayed up late playing games.?
?Did you now, early to bed tonight then.?
?So?what did you and dad do?? Grissom giggled into his cup of coffee.
?Well, we had a wonderful dinner and your dad proposed to me.?
?And??
?And what? Oh! I said yes.?
?Good, that means we will be together always.?
After breakfast, they all made their way back to Andrew?s house to collect the remaining boxes and to get on the road. They exchanged goodbyes and made a promise to visit each other more often.
On the way back they stopped off at the Grand Canyon, admiring the breath taking views.
As they pulled up into the driveway, Sara said, ?Now, there is not going to be anyone in there to scare me this time??
?No, not this time.?
Sara made Grissom go in first while she carried a very sleepy boy to his room. She laid Aaron down gently, took his shoes off and tucked him in. When Sara went back downstairs, she found Grissom unloading the SUV. It didn?t take them long to bring the last couple of boxes in and retire to bed.
