Sara's Secret

[trishj]

Chapter 8

The next morning they were attacked by a 4 year old, a puppy and a very big dog.  Tabby was jumping on the bed, ?Wake up Mommy.  Wake up Gilly.? 
?How about we let Mommy sleep a little and you and I go make pancakes?? Gil said.
 Tabby said ok then ran for the kitchen, Sara rolled over and kissed him.  ?Thank you,? she told him.
  Gil returned her kiss and slipped out of the bed,  It was then that he realized he had not but his pajama?s on.
 ?Oops!? he said.  ?I like what I am looking at,? Sara said.  ?Thank you, Mrs. Grissom,? he said kissing her, ?but we have to remember to get our pajama?s on, just in case Butterfly wants to get in with us.?
 ?Tabatha knows better,? Sara said, ?She never crawls in a bed without permission.?
 ?Oh I see,? he said smiling, ?she has seen other  men in your bed??  Sara grabbed a pillow and tossed it at him, ?No!?
 ?She spent the night with Millie and Joe one time, she had a bad dream and jumped in their bed,? she said.  ?I had a hard time explaining why some grown-ups sleep that way and made her promise to ask first the next time.?
 Gil picked up the pillow and tossed it back at her, she slipped out of bed and started for the bathroom.
 Gil stopped her, pulled her to him and kissed her, ?You are so beautiful.?  ?Thank you, Mr. Grissom,? she said pulling away from him, ?but I really need to go.?  They laughed as he took off for the bathroom.
 Gil slipped on his pajama?s and went to the kitchen, he and Tabby made pancakes.
 A little later Sara came in pretending to have just woke up.  While they were eating Tabby said, ?Mommy, I have been thinking.?
 ?About what?? Sara asked.  ?Well, you and Gilly are married now right??
 ?Yes dear,? she said.  ?So I guess that makes him my daddy, for real,  Right??
 ?Yes,? she said wondering where this was going.
 ?Well, do you I think I should call him Daddy or Gilly?? she asked.  Gil smiled, his eyes lit up. 
?You may call him daddy or Gilly,? Sara said, ?what ever you want.?  ?Good,? she said.
 ?Now I was thinking about something else,? she said between bites of pancakes.
  ?When did you do all this thinking?? Gil asked.  ?GG woke me up,? she said, ?He had to pee.?
 Oh,? Sara said, ?What else were you thinking about??  ?I think I would like a baby brother or sister,? she said matter-of-factly.
 Gil about choked on his pancake, Sara just blushed.  ?A what?? Gil said finally being able to talk. 
?A baby brother or sister,? she repeated, ?Right Mommy.? 
Gil looked at Sara, ?Perhaps Mommy had better fill me in??
 ?A while ago Nancy?s mother had a baby.  Tabby told me she wanted a brother or sister, I told her I was not married so she could not have one,? Sara explained.
 ?Right,? Tabby said, ?So can I? Please?? 
Gil looked at Sara, ?Mommy and I will talk about it, ok??  ?Ok,? she said jumping off the chair and heading for the living room.
 ?A baby?? Gil said.  ?I guess that is one thing we never talked about,? Sara said.
 ?Would you?? he asked.  ?Would I?? Sara replied not sure what he meant.  ?Would you want to go through it all over again?
  You know morning sickness, hormones and all that.?  Sara did not even hesitate, ?Yes.  I doubt anything would make me happier then to have your child.?
 Gil smiled, ?Last night I was thinking how perfect my life was with you and Butterfly in it.  I think of Butterfly as my daughter but,? he stopped not sure how to word what he wanted to say.
 ?But she is not YOURS,? Sara finished his thought.
 ?Darling, you know I love her.  In my heart she is my daughter,? he said.  ?I know that, love,? she said.  ?Any child of ours could not change how I feel about her,? he told her.
 ?So, do you want to?? Sara asked him.  ?Yes,? he said.  ?Good,? she said, ?because ??  Gil interrupted her, ?You can?t be already? Last night was out first time.?  Sara la
ughed, ?You know you can get pregnant on the first time.?  He looked at her, the look on his face made her laugh.
 ?I was going to say ?because I just took the last of my pills and have to refill them?.  But if you are sure you want to try then there is no need for me too.? 
?Please, don?t refill them,? he said. 
Sara told him she would not, he wrapped her in his arms.  ?I will make an appointment with Dr. Green,? she said, ?just to make sure everything is ok.?
 Gil and Sara and Tabby went to the park so she could play with her friends.  Sara was watching the children play, Gil was deep in thought.
 ?Hon,? he said trying to gather his thoughts, ?I was thinking last night also.?
 ?About a baby?? she said jokingly. 
?Yes.  Well kind of,? he said.  Sara could tell he was having trouble with what he wanted to talk about. 
?What is it?? she asked as she told Tabby to stop pushing Nancy so fast.  ?I am not to sure how this is going to come out, so please bear with me,? he said almost in one breath.  ?Ok,? she replied.
 ?It is about Butterfly.  You are a GRISSOM  and I am a GRISSOM and any children we have will be GRISSOM?s.  What I am trying to say is, I want to adopt Butterfly,? he finally got out.
 ?Adopt her,? Sara said.  ?Yes.  That way SHE will be a GRISSOM too.  Not only that, but also it will be easier, well you know, legally.?
 Sara was tossing the idea around and was about to say something when Tabatha came running to them, she was crying.
 ?Butterfly, what is it?? Gil asked as he picked her up.  ?Nancy is mean,? she said.  ?Sara said, ?Why??
 ?Nancy said that Gilly was not my daddy because I am not a GRISSOM like he is.?
 ?Tabby, he is your daddy, don?t you remember?  He promised to be your daddy just like he promised to be my husband,? Sara said comforting the child.  ?I AM a Grissom.  Daddy married me too so I am a Grissom.? 
?Yes dear,? Sara said.  Tabby kissed then both and ran to her friends.  ?I guess that answers your question,? Sara said smiling.  ?Fantastic,? he said, ?I will call Jack and get things started.

Chapter 9

Sara and Gil were running a little late for work that night.
  When they came in Catherine said, ?Looks like the newlyweds were having to much fun to get here on time.?
  Gil smiled at Sara, ?We had a few things to take care of.?
  He tenderly kissed Sara?s cheek and headed for his office.
  ?We got you something,? Nick said.  He handed her a box, ?We all figured you may as well be legal.?
 In the box was a field vest, it had GRISSOM on it.  ?Thanks fella?s,? she said.  ?Believe it or not that is the one thing I forgot to get.?
 Gil came into the break room with the assignments in hand.  Sara had tried on the jacket, she showed it to him.
 ?Fits you?? he said.  ?I knew it would,? Nick said, ?I took a peek at her vest to make sure we got the right size.?
 Gil smiled, ?I meant the name.? 
Gil put Warrick and Catherine together.  They were off to the races, a jockey was found shot.  Nick and Sara got a dead body of their own, down by the lake.
 ?I have  a ton and a half of paper work to catch up on so I will be here if anyone needs me,? he said.  ?Part of it is YOUR fault,?  he said looking at Sara.
 ?MY fault?? she said.  ?Yes.  You had to go and get your named changed so I have to fill out forms.?
 ?Then perhaps I should have said NO and make your life easier,? she said smiling at him.  ?Don?t even think about it,? he said, ?you know how happy this has made me.?
 Sara grabed a quick kiss and left.
 4 months after they were married Gil and Sara were in the judges chambers, papers were signed and TABATHA LYNN SIDLE became TABATHA LYNN GRISSOM.  That night Gil has put Tabby to bed, ?Good night Butterfly.?
 ?Butterfly Grissom,? she said with a smile.  ?Yes, Butterfly Grissom,? he said kissing her.
 Sara was in the couch, ?Tabby get tucked in??  ?All done,? he said.  ?Good, now you can tuck me in too,? she said.
 They got ready for bed and Sara was cuddling next to him.  ?What a great day,? Gil said. 
?I bet I can make it much better,? Sara said.  ?Really?? Gil said with a devilish grin.  ?Well that too, but something else,? she said. 
She handed him an EPT it showed positive.  ?I just took it while you were tucking in Tabby,? she told him.  ?I will call Dr. Green tomorrow to confirm it.?
 ?Guess Butterfly will get her brother or sister,? he said.  Gil took her hand and led her to the bedroom, once there she slowly undressed for him as he sat on the foot of the bed.
 He pulled her to him and kissed her breast. ?Lay on your belly,? he whispered.  Sara obeyed.
 Gil started kissing her neck, she moaned deeply in response to his lips.  Slowly and kissed and licked the length of her spine,  lifting her hips he easily found her womanhood, as waves of pleasure filled her body she climaxed.
 Gil entered her, soft movements become faster as he too reaches his climax.
  Once more they find heaven in the love that they made as she smuggles close to him.   
The next day Sara and Gil were in the exam room with Dr. Green.  ?Your test was right, you are pregnant, about a month along,? he told her.
 ?I want to see you every two months to start with, Trudy will give you some vitamins and some pamphlets.?
 ?This is not her first time,? Gil said.  ?But  it is his,? Sara added.  ?Will we be able to tell gender next time?? Gil asked.  ?We can try,? he said. 
They picked up Tabby from her sitters house.  ?Butterfly, Mommy and I want to talk to you,? Gil said.
 ?Ok Daddy,? she said.  ?Mommy and I have decided you can have a baby brother or sister,? he said. 
?Oh boy, what one?? she asked.  ?Well we are not sure yet,? Sara told her.  Tabby was thinking then she said, ?Brother-sister.  Brother-sister.  Hummm.  I know,? she said looking at Sara, ?one of each.?
 Sara looked at Gil and shivered.  ?Let?s hope not,? she said. 
At the lab that night Sara and Gil shared the good news with everyone.  Hugs and congratulations were passed around.   

[trishj]

Chapter 10

Gil had passed out the assignments for the night.
  Catherine and Sara had a three car accident.  At their scene they ran into Brass.
  ?Three cars, no damage, no drivers.? he said.  ?What?? Sara asked.  Sara walked to the cars, the accident had been staged.
 ?Why would anyone stage an accident then call it in?? Catherine asked.  Brass was about to answer when shots rang out. 
Several people were injured as a man on a roof top started firing a high powered rifle.  Everyone hit the ground, ?There is your answer, Sara said.
 The accident was staged to attract people, the sniper had a lot of targets.  ?No one move,? Brass said over the loud speaker in the black and white  then he called for the SWAT team.
 Sara heard a small voice crying ?Mommy?.  She lift her head and seen a small child kneeling next to a woman.  ?Where did she come from?? Brass wondered.  The child stood, the man on the roof aims his rifle.
 Sara seen him, she pulled her weapon and fired.  With the man distracted Brass ran to the child and picked her up and ran back to the safety of the patrol cars.
 ?Did you get him?? Jim asked.  ?I can?t be sure,? she said.  ?Everyone stay still until we can find out for sure,? Jim said.
 ?What about the lady?? Sara asked.  ?She is still breathing,? Jim said, ?I can?t risk getting her until we know for sure about our sniper.?
 Sara had an idea, she taped an officer on the shoulder, ?Fallow me.?  They got into a car, laying low in the front seat she drove to the lady.
 Sara stopped so the officer could pull her into the back seat, then Sara rushed off a safe distance away.  The man started firing.  An ambulance was able to get the lady to  the hospital.
 ?Guess I missed, sorry,? Sara said.  No one moved, half hour latter the SWAT team was able to capture the man. 
The scene was cleared, Sara and Catherine started processing it.  ?Damn, I should have got him,? Sara said.  ?Don?t be hard on yourself,? Jim said.  ?You were able to distract the man so I could get the kid and you got the mother.?
 ?By the way, how did you think of that?? Catherine asked.  ?Gil,? she said.  ?He likes to watch the old TV shows.  Three days ago we were watching an old cop show called ADAM 12.  The same thing happened and that is how they got the victim off the street."
  Everyone laughed.  Sara and Catherine took the evidence back to the lab.  Gil was standing at his office door, he motioned to her.
 ?Someone is in trouble,? Nick said.  Sara went to his office, ?Yes, I know I did a stupid thing and now you are upset with me and you are going to chew me out.?  ?No,? Gil said, ?the sheriff wants to give you, Officer Reed and Brass an accommodation for bravery, his for saving the girl, yours and Officer Reed?s for getting the mother.?  Sara sighed.
 ?And as far as you in trouble with me, if I had MY way I would turn you over my knee and bust your butt,? he said.  ?Now THAT sounds like fun,? Sara said with a devilish smile.
 At the house the next day Tabby came running into the kitchen.  ?MOMMY!? she yelled, ?You are on TV.?  Sara went into the living room, there was a piece on the news, with film. about the shooting the night before.
 Sara was seen rescuing the lady and Jim the girl.  Then they repeated that ?CAPT. JAMES BRASS, OFFICER ROBERT REED AND CSI SARA GRISSOM WOULD EACH BE RECEIVING A MEDAL OF VALOR.? 
?Mommy is a hero,? Tabby said.  The next day Jim, Officer Reed and Sara stood in front of a crowd of people as the sheriff told everyone what happened.  Each was given a plaque and a medal.
 Nick, Catherine and Warrick were watching it on television.  Catherine started to laugh, ?Sara looks like she wants to punch out someone?s lights.?  ?I think Brass wants to puke,? added Warrick.
 ?The only one smiling is Reed,? Nick said as he turned off the set.   At the sitters house Tabby was watching too.  ?Uncle Jim and Mommy are hero?s,? she said.  ?Yes they  are,? said Jossie.  Meanwhile back at the lab, Sara and Grissom arrived back after the ceremony.
 ?All hail the hero?s,? Nick said as he bowed.  ?Cut out the crap,? Sara said, ?I did not do anything any of you would not have done.  I should have had the SOB when I fired at him.?  Gil quickly handed out the assignments, he knew Sara did not want to talk about it.
 As much as he, and others tried to change her mind she still downed herself for missing him.  Nick and Sara had a convenience store robbery.  Warrick and Catherine had a B&E.  Grissom was going over evidence for court tomorrow.
 At their scene a man walked up to Sara.  ?Mrs. Grissom??  ?Yes,? Sara said,  ?You don?t know me, my name is Donald Lawson.  It was my wife and child you saved yesterday.?
 ?I was not the only one sir,? she said.  ?I understand that,? he told her, ?But you were involved in both the rescue of my child and my wife.? 
?Sir, all I did was?.?  The man cut her off, ?All you did was save the life of the two most important people in my life.  You see, last month my Mother and older son were killed in a drive by.  Because of you ad the others, I still have my younger child and my wife.  Never doubt that you are OUR true hero.?
 He hugged her, tears in his eyes, ?Thank you seems so inappropriate, words can not express my feelings.?  With that he left.  Sara stood there, thinking.  Nick walked up to herm he had heard everything,
 ?You see,? he said, ?no matter what you think about what you did, didn?t or should have done, that man still has his family.?  Sara smiled.  ?I still should have got him,? she said. laughing.  ?I would have,? Nick said jokingly.  Sara no longer doubted what she done was impotent.
 Gil and Sara picked up Tabatha after shift.  ?Mommy, I seen you on TV.  You and Uncle Jim and some other guy.?  ?Yes,? Sara said.  In the car Sara questioned Gil.  ?Howe come the news did not make a big deal about you capturing that pedophile in the park??  ?Because I was not caught on tape.  No one but is knew it,? he answered.

Chapter 11

At the  house they let GG and Hank out for a run.  ?Daddy,? Tabby said.  ?What is it , Butterfly?? he asked.  ?Can I have a kitten? Pleaseeee!?
  ?A kitten?? Sara said.  ?You already have a puppy.?  ?I know, but I want a kitten,? she said looking at Gil with her big sad ?puppy dog? eyes.
  Before Sara could say NO Gil said, ?Yes, Butterfly, we can get you a kitten.?  ?YEAH!!!!? she yelled as she ran after GG.  Sara looked at Gil, ?GILBERT GRISSOM!?
 ?What?? he said.  ?She has a puppy, a goldfish, a beta, a turtle, a hamster and a bird.  Now you are getting her a KITTEN.?
 ?I should have said ?NO? ?? he said.  ?But you know I can?t refuse her.?  Sara shook her head.  Gil pulled her close to him, ?I can?t refuse YOU either.?  He kissed her.  ?YUCKY!? Tabby said, ?Mommy and Daddy kissing.?  Gil picked her up and kissed her too.  ?Better,? she said, ?I like daddy and Butterfly kisses.?
 Sara told them she was laying down for a while.  Gil took Tabby to the animal shelter so she could adopt a kitten.  Kathie, the lady in charge of the shelter, showed then the cats.
 Tabby walked around looking at all the cats.  ?They are BIG.  I want a kitten.?  Kathie smiled, ?This way.  We have two right over here, they are sisters.  They are 8 weeks old, their mommy was hit by a car, we were able to rescue them.  The momma cat was hurt, we were able to make her better but she can?t take care of her babies, they are looking for someone who can.?
 ?Daddy, can I have them BOTH?  You would not want to keep them apart??  Gil knew Sara would have said no but - well the ?puppy dog? look melted his heart.  ?Of course,? he said, ?we can?t break up the sisters.?  Tabby hugged him, ?I love you Daddy.?
 Tabatha seen two more very small kittens, ?They are tiny??  ?Yes,? Kathie said, ?Their mommy is very sick, she can not nurse then so we are bottle feeding them.?  ?poor babies,? Tabby said.
 ?They are only 3 days old,? Kathie said.  ?It is time to feed them, would you like to help??  Tabby said yes.  She sast on a stool and held the kitten and feed it some warm kitten formula. 
?They are brothers,? Kathie said.  ?I am going to have a baby brother or sister,? Tabby told her.  ?Mommy said the doctor can not tell what one yet.?  Quickly Gil said, ?No, Butterfly.  The brothers are to small to adopt.?  He knew she would want them too.  ?Can I come back and help?? she asked.
  ?Maybe,? Gil told her.  At the house Tabby ran to Sara and showed her the kittens.  ?They are sisters, I named them Coco (she held up a light brown colored one) and Cookie (holding up the other, it was light brown with a few darker brown spots).?  Sara looked at Gil, he just shrugged his shoulders.
  ?And Mommy, there was the cutiest tiny tiny baby brothers.  I gave them a bottle!?  ?I told her NO,? Gil said quickly.  ?Miss Kathie said they were to small,? Tabby said.  ?Did Daddy get everything you needed?? Sara asked.
  ?Yes Mommy,? she said taking things out of a bag and naming them as she did, ?We have kitten food and kitten toys and some stuff for them to poop and pee in.  Oh yes, food dishes too.?
 ?If DADDY keeps letting you have pets we will need a bigger house,? Sara said smiling at Gil.  Tabby took the kittens to her room.
 ?Gil, I don?t know about you,? Sara said.  She tried to make her tone harsh, but the look in her eyes told a different story.
 ?Yeah, but you love me,? he said as he kissed her,  ?Yes, I do,? she said.  Sara and Gil were once again sitting in the exam room.
 Dr. Green had finished and said all was fine, except Sara had lost 6 pounds.  He told her, ?I don?t want you to gain to much weight but you should not lose either.?  He was looking at the sonogram when he told them that the baby was laying so he could tell them the gender.  Sara said, ?Yes.?
 The doctor turned the screen, ?You are having a boy.?  Sara told Gil, ?I really wanted a boy.  I know every man wants a son.?  ?All I want is a healthy child and for you to be ok,? he said.  ?You are 3 months now,? Dr. Green said, ?let me see you in  2 months.  After that every month.?  After they picked up Tabby she said, ?Am I having a brother or sister??  Before she had told Sara she really wanted a sister.
 ?A brother,? Sara said.  ?Well,? Tabby said, ?that is ok.  The next one can be a sister.?  Gil looked at Sara, total shock on his face.  Sara just shrugged her shoulders, ?Butterfly, why do you think there will be a ?next one???
 ?Joey has a sister and now his Mommy is going to have  a new baby,? she told them.  ?Well,? Sara said smiling, ?one baby at a time.?  Tabby laughed and ran off to play with her new kittens.
 ?One baby at a time?? Gil said.  Sara sis not say anything, she just kissed him. 
At the lab that night Sara was showing Catherine the sonogram pictures.  ?He is beautiful,? Catherine said.
 ?Nothing personal,? Nick said, ?but I think it looks like a blob.?  Warrick agreed with him.  ?MEN!? Catherine and Sara both said. 
Gil walked in, ?Now what have you two done to lower their opinion of the male sex??  ?Nick just said the picture looks like a blob,? Warrick said.  ?Oh,? Gil said, ?now I see.?  He laughed and passed out assignments, he thought it best to keep the ladies separate from the fella?s so he put Catherine and Sara on a murder/suicide.  Warrick and Nick got an arson.
 ?I guess I will never understand women,? Nick said.  ?That is for sure,? added Warrick.  On their way home Sara looked at Gil.
 ?Do you think he is a blob?? she asked.  Gil really did think he looked like a blob, but he knew better them to say so.  ?No love,?  He is the most beautiful baby boy I have ever seen.?
 She smiled and so did he.  ?I hate fibbing to her,? he said to himself, ?but I don?t want her crying either.?  So he decided that a little white lie was better then a very upset wife.  They both slept soundly that night. 

[trishj]

Chapter 12

The next day Catherine and Sara were still giving Nick and Warrick dirty look, so once again, Gil put the ladies together and the fellas together.
  ?I sure hope this dose not last the rest of her pregnancy,? Gil said to himself.
 He never realized how hormonal pregnant ladies were.  He snickered.
  ?What?s so funny?? Warrick asked.
  ?Nothing, just something Sara said yesterday,? he said.  He may want another child but he was not sure HE could put up with another pregnancy.
  Warrick and Nick were on their way to an  officer involved shooting when Nick asked, ?Do all women act like Sara when they are going to have a kid??
  ?I guess so,? Warrick said, ?something to do with hormones.?
  They got out of the car and seen Catherine and Sara standing there talking to Brass.  ?What are you doing here?? Nick asked Sara.
  ?Working MY case,? she told him, ?What dose it look like??
 ?It is our case,? Warrick said.  ?No,? Catherine added, ?You got the officer involved shooting.  Ours is a suspected arson with drug involvement.?
  Brass held up his hand, ?Hold your horses.  The officer shot a suspect who was fleeing the scene of a burning building.  He torched it because he had been using it to manufacture drugs and the Feds were moving in.?
 All four of them had to suppress a laugh.  ?Let?s call a truce and process the scene,? Sara said.
 Back at the lab Gil sat at his desk grinning.  He knew what he had done, he just hoped it worked out the way he wanted it to.
  The crew came back to the lab.  ?Grissom,? Catherine said, ?you goofed.  You sent all of us to the same scene.? 
?Did I?? he said walking away.  ?He knew!? Sara said.  ?Yeah, he sure did,? Nick added.  The four of them had a good laugh and put the other day behind them.
 ?He is kind of a cute blob,? Nick said. 
Later at the house Gil and Sara were discussing names, they both liked RYAN.  That is Gil?s middle name, they just were not sure what to put with it.
 ?GRASSHOPPER!? Tabby yelled.  ?Grasshopper?? Gil said.  ?Yeah,? she said smiling.  ?NO, Absolutely NO!? Sara said.
 ?How about we name him after Mommy?? Tabby said.
 ?Butterfly, you can?t name a boy SARA,? Gil said smiling at her.  ?I know!? she said putting her hands on her hips, ?Mommy?s second name.?
 Gil thought, Sara?s middle name was LEE.
 ?Why not,? he said. ?RYAN LEE.?  ?Grissom,? Tabby said, ?just like me.?  ?Yes butterfly, just like you,? he said kissing her cheek.
 ?Daddy?? Tabby said, ?can we call him Grasshopper??  ?We will think about it,? he said smiling. 
?YEAH, RYAN LEE ?GRASSHOPPER? GRISSOM,? she said. 
Sara looked at Gil, ?Grasshopper?  She is your daughter.?  Gil had to agree, Tabby was his girl.  She loved bugs of any kind, she asked him all kinds of questions about the bugs she seen in the yard and she loves to look at his books.
  That night Gil was tucking her in, ?Daddy??  ?Yes, Butterfly,? he said.  ?When we go to see Tom and Jerry (that is hat she named the two tiny kittens) tomorrow do you think we can stop at the pet store??
 ?Why?? he asked.  ?Coco and Cookie need something to scratch and I want an ant farm.?  Gil knew he should say NO - But how much room can an ant farm take up?
 ?Sure Butterfly,? he said as he kissed her then went to his and Sara?s room.
  ?Now what did she talk you into getting her?? Sara asked.  Gil looked at her, ?How did you know?? he wanted to know.
  ?You have that look,? she said.  ?Only a scratching post for the kittens,? he said.  Then very quietly he said, ?And an ant farm.?
 ?An ant farm? GILBERT RYAN GRISSOM what am I going to do with you?? she said. 
?Love me?? he said taking her in his arms.  ?You know I do,? she said.  Sara kissed him and untied his pajama bottoms.  ?MMMM,? he said, ?you can do this anytime you want.?
 Gil pulled her close to him and kissed her, once more they made love.  When they finished she snuggled into her comfy spot as they drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 13
The next morning Gil was buckling Tabby in her car seat, Sara came out and kissed him good bye.
?Oh Gilbert,? she said, ?When you are at the shelter visiting Tom and Jerry ?.?
?I know,? he said smiling, ?she can?t bring them home.?
Gil and Tabby drove away, Sara walked back into the house. ?Why do I have the feeling she is going to come home with two more kittens,? she said to herself.
At the shelter Tabby went over to the kittens, ?Are they big enough to adopt yet Miss Kathie??
?Yes,? she said.
Tabby looked at Gil, in his mind he could hear Sara saying NO. But how could he turn her down, anyway she had a good reason for wanting them, after all she HAD helped raise them this far.
Gil pulled into the driveway, Sara came out.
?Mommy guess what?? Tabby said.
?Daddy let you adopt Tom and Jerry,? Sara said.
?I was going to,? she said, ?But this other little girl came in and wanted them so I let her have them. Her kitten got squashed by a car.?
?That?s good,? Sara said relieved she did not have two mote cats in the house.
?Daddy let me have another puppy,? she said taking a small dog from the back seat, ?And the ant farm.?
Gil just looked at Sara, ?I have something for you too.?
He handed her a box. Upon opening it she found a butterfly necklace. ?Look on the back,? he told her. Sara turned it over, on one wing was engraved GRG & SLG. The other wing was engraved with the date they were married.
?It is beautiful,? she said as she kissed him.
?Dose this mean you are not mad at Daddy?? Tabby asked.
?I am not mad," Sara said. ?What are you going to name your new puppy?? Sara asked.
?Pancake,? Tabby said, ?he is the same color as a pancake. We will call him PC for short.?
?Interesting name,? Sara said. ?I am going to take PC upstairs and let him meet Coco and Cookie,? Tabby said.
She looked at Gil and then nodded toward Sara before running upstairs.
?What is that all about?? she asked.
?You are going to have to sit down for this one,? he said. ?Tabby wants a room for her pets. She said her room is getting crowded,? he told her.
Sara started to laugh, ?A pet room.?
?She said the little room next to hers would be perfect,? he said, ?You know the one we have all the junk in.?
?Let me guess. She wants a doorway put in between the two rooms?? Sara said jokingly.
?Yes,? Gil said.
?Oh my goodness!? Sara said.
?That is only the half of it,? Gil said almost afraid to tell her the rest of it, ?She wants a pony.?
?I do hope you told her no!? Sara said with a lot of doubt in her voice.
?I told her we did not have room for a pony. Then I reminded her that Mr. Long said she could ride Star whenever she wanted. That seemed to satisfy her, that and a rabbit,? Gil said almost whispering the last part of it.
?A WHAT!!!!? Sara said, face red and hands on her hips.
?A rabbit,? he said, ?We were at the pet store getting some stuff for PC and she seen some baby rabbits. She told me she wanted one and ?.?
?And she looked at you with those brown sad ?puppy dog? eyes and you could not say no,? Sara said.
Gil glanced from her to the floor and back up to her again he did not have to answer, she already knew.
?What are we going to do when Ryan gets older and wants pets too?? she asked him.
?Hang a sign on the front door saying ?GRISSOM?S ZOO?,? he said.
?Gilbert, you have to learn self control. She CAN?T have everything she wants,? she tells him.
?I can?t deny you anything either,? he said as he kissed her. Then he handed her another box.
Her eyes lit, ?Gil, I thought you said it was not practical??
Gil smiled as he slipped the ring on her finger. When they first married she had seen a beautiful diamond ring that she had fallen in love with. Gil had told her that the ring would not be practical for her to wear on the job. But the next day he had ordered it for her, he was going to save it for their anniversary, but he knew he would be in hot water with the rabbit so he decided to give it to her today.
?You can always take it off before work,? he said.
Sara wrapped her arms around him and kissed him, I love it and I love you too.?
Tabby had been watching from the stairs, she thought now was a good time to ask about the pet room.
?Mommy, can I have the pet room?? she asked.
?Of course,? Sara said not really paying attention to what Tabby said.
?YEAH!!!!? Tabby said.
Sara looked at Gil, ?What did I just do??
?You said she could have the pet room,? Gil said smiling at her.
?You had it planed that way?? she said.
?Not really,? he told her, ?it just worked out that way.?
Sara just shook her head, ?So where is the rabbit??
?Petey is not big enough yet,? Tabby said, ?We pick him up in 2 weeks.?
Later that night at work Sara was telling Catherine about all of Tabby?s pets.
?My gracious,? she said. ?Tabatha will need a room just for pets.?
?She will,? Sara said. Then she told her about the ?pet room?.
As they were talking the men came in, Gil was right behind them. ?Can I trust you four to behave yourselves?? he asked.
He put Nick and Sara on an auto accident, Warrick and Catherine got a drive by shooting.
As they were leaving Sara told Gil, ?Darling, remember I told you I had to stop by Dr. Greens office tomorrow for more vitamins.?
?Yes love,? he said. He gave her a quick kiss. ?Be careful. I love you.?
?I will,? she said.
Nick looked at her, ?You both will be in a lot of trouble if Ecklie sees you doing that.?
?I know, it only adds to the excitement,? she said. They both laughed as they walked to the car.

Chapter 14

Shift over Gil went to pick up Tabby and Sara to get her vitamins.  She was standing at the book rack waiting when she heard a familiar voice.
 ?I am Catherine Willows.  I have a 9 o?clock appointment with Dr. Green.?  ?Yes, Miss Willows.  Please fill out these papers and have a seat.? 
Sara turned to see Catherine taking the papers and sitting next to Warrick.  She was trying to find a way to sneak out without them seeing her when the nurse said, ?Mrs. Grissom.  Your vitamins are ready.? 
Catherine looked at Sara, ?I did not think I would run into you??  ?I guess I could say the same,? Sara said as she sat next to her.  ?I am about three weeks late.  I took one of those home pregnancy tests.  I figured I better come in here and confirm the results,? she told her. 
?Dose this mean you will be moving up the wedding?? Sara asked.  ?Considering we had not planed on getting married until next year I guess it would be a good idea,? Warrick said.
 ?The doctor will see you now, Miss Willows.?  ?Well good luck,? Sara said as she left. 
When she got to the house she called Gil, no answer.  She went upstairs and called him again.  She walked into Tabby?s room to check on her, a smile came across her face.
 On Tabby?s bed she seen Gil with Tabby curled up next to him.  They were surrounded by Hank, GG, PC, Coco and Cookie and all of them were sleeping.  Sara walked over to them picking up a blanket she covered them.  She kissed Tabby on the forehead, ?I love you Tabatha.?  She kissed Gil?s forehead too, ?I love you too.? 
She went to their room and lay on the bed.  She took Gil?s pillow and wrapped her arms around it, ?I never dreamed things would turn out this way.  To think that I thought I had made a big mistake moving to Las Vegas.? 
 A foot in his rib cage woke Gil, carefully he got up and went to his and Sara?s room.  Sara had fallen asleep, he kissed her forehead, fixed the covers on her and went downstairs.
 He had something?s to catch up on.  He was sitting at his computer when he caught a glimpse of Sara out of the corner of his eye.
 ?What are you up too?? she asked.  ?Just some research,? he said.  She pulled up a chair next to him and said, ?You will never guess who I saw at Dr. Greens office??
 She proceeded to tell him about Warrick and Catherine.  ?You are right, I never would have guessed that.  So is she?? he asked. 
?She seems to think so,? Sara said.  ?Let?s not jump to any conclusions,? Gil said, ?she will tell us when she is ready.?
 Sara smiled and walked to the door, she locked it and went back to Gil, opening her robe as she did.  Gil stood and smiled at her.  ?Mrs. Grissom, right here in the den??
 Gil said pulling her close to him.  ?Yes,? she said.  Gil kissed her and let his hands explore her body.  Kissing and touching lead to a more intimate way for showing their love for each other.
 When they had finished they heard Tabby laughing as she came down the stairs.  Gil kissed Sara, they both made themselves presentable and Sara unlocked the door.
  Tabby came in rubbing her eyes, ?Mommy.  Daddy and me and the dogs and cats all fell asleep.?  ?Yes,? I saw you all,? Sara said.  ?I even took a picture." 
Tabby asked, ?Where is it??  Sara showed her the picture and Tabby laughed, ?We look funny.? 
Gil stood and stretched, ?It was a little crowded.?  He motioned for Sara to sit and read what he found, as she sat he whispered, ?Thank you.  I needed that.?  Sara smiled, ?Me too.? 
Sara looked at what was on the computer, ?Good,? she said as she hit PRINT.  ?I will take this to Dr. Green.?
 ?Mommy? Can we have oatmeal with fruit?  I am hungry.?  ?Me too,? Gil said smiling at Sara. 
They all headed to the kitchen, Gil?s arm around Sara?s waist.  ?Making love always makes me hungry,? he whispered. 
Tabby helped Gil set the table as Sara fixed the oatmeal.  ?What fruit do you want Butterfly?? Gil asked.  ?Uhmmmmm   Banana?s.?  ?How about you, hon,? he asked Sara.  ?Raisins,? was Sara?s reply. 
Gil poured juice, put some blueberry muffins on the table and everyone?s favorite fruit.
 They ate without saying much.  When they were done Gil said, ?Butterfly.  What are you to do each morning after you eat?? 
Tabby sat and thought for just a second, ?Feed my pets,? she said as she ran off.  Sara?s phone rang. 
?Hello --- Really, 2 months ---- Yes, he is here ---- ok, see you at work.  Bye.? 
Gil looked at her, ?Catherine - she is and she wants you to tell me??
 ?You are so smart?? Sara said kissing his cheek.

Chapter 15

?Mommy,? Tabby yelled running into the kitchen.  ?Hank just got sick.? 
Gil and Sara fallowed her to the porch, Hank was laying on the floor. 
?He looks bad,? Gil said scooping him up, ?I am going to run him into the vets.?  ?Call me,? Sara said. 
Tabby started to cry, ?Is Hank going to go to doggy heaven??  ?I don?t know sweetheart.  Daddy will call when he finds out.? 
They went inside.  Two hours later Gil came home, ?Doc Porter said Hank has a stomach virus.  He is going to keep him a day or two just to make sure everything is alright.? 
Tabby came running to Gil, ?Daddy.  Is Hank going to be ok??  ?Yes, Butterfly.  He has a stomach bug,? he said.  ?Like I did before?? she asked. 
?Yes, he told her.  ?Will he have to take yucky medicine too?? she asked.  ?Dogs have different medicine they people do,? Gil said.  ?He said we should bring in the others too just to have them checked out.? 
Sara said yes and Gil called and made an appointment .  ?All of them?? Tabby asked.  ?Just GG, PC, Coco and Cookie,? Gil said.  ?Hamsters and fish and birds and your ants can?t get a stomach bug.? 
At work Sara and Catherine were talking in the break room.  ?We have moved the wedding up to next weekend,? Catherine said, ?Of course you are all invited.?
 ?When do you plan on telling Gil and the other fella?s?? Sara asked.  ?Warrick is in Gil?s office now talking to him and Nick,? Catherine said.  ?There is only one other person you need to tell,? Sara said.  At the same time they both said ?Ecklie.?  Gil and the guys came in the break room, ?Congratulation,? Gil and Nick said.  ?You do know I have to tell ??
 ?Ecklie,? Warrick and Catherine said together.  Gil smiled, ?Yes.  But that is my problem.  Did you bring your doctors statement??
 ?Of course,? Catherine said handing it to him.  ?2 months,? he said.  ?That puts you just one behind Sara. 
Conrad is going to LOVE this.  Both you out at the same time.?  They all snickered.  ?Ok, time to earn our pay,? he said as he passed out assignments.  Sara and Catherine were on their way to a hotel fire when Catherine said, ?Warrick asked Nick to stand with him.?
 ?I was sure he would,? Sara said, ?they are very tight, almost like brothers.?  ?Closer, I think,? Catherine said, ?I was wondering, would you stand with me??
 ?I would be honored to,? Sara said totally surprised that Catherine would ask her.  ?Thanks,? she said.  ?Nick is bringing a date,? Catherine said.  ?You know Sophia Curtis??  ?Sure,? Sara said, ?She is a detective.?
 ?That is who Nick is seeing,? Catherine said.  ?Oh,? Sara said.  Just before they got to their body dump Nick said, ?Oh crap!?
 ?What is it?? Warrick asked.  ?I was just thinking how hormonal Sara has been and now we will have Catherine too.?
 ?Heaven help us,? Warrick said.  They both laughed.  At the lab the same thought hit Grissom, ?One is hard enough to put up with, now we have two.  Heaven help us.? 
It took Gil and Tabby a while to gather up the puppies and the kittens.  They do not like to get into their carriers.  4 pets, Tabby and Gil all went to the doctors, after Gil checked on Hank the vet checked the others, they were all ok. 
?Butterfly, I have to stop at the lab to get something.?  ?Goody!? she said, ?I love your office with all the bugs.? 
He took her hand and walked into his office.  ?Who is this little lady?? Helen, one of the secretaries asked.  This is Tabatha, my daughter,? he said proudly.  ?Nice to meet you,? she said looking very confused.  ?I did not know Grissom had a child?? she said to Judy.
 ?She is Sara?s,? Judy said, ?He adopted her after they got married.?  Judy told her the story as she had heard it. 
In the office Tabby was looking for the papers he needed.  ?Daddy, this one is new,? she said.  ?Tell me about it, please.?  Gil told her all about the newest addition to his collection. 
At the house Tabby told Sara about their trip to the vet and their visit to the lab and Gil?s newest bug and their stop for ice cream.
 ?Ice cream,? Sara said.  ?Well at least it was not a new pet,? Gil said as he kissed her cheek.  Sara just stood there and shook her head. 
?Oh I called Dr. Green today,? she told him.  ?He said he dose not normally run that test, but considering your history, he said he would schedule it as soon as Ryan is born.?  ?He found the information helpful?? Gil wanted to know.  ?Yes,? Sara told him.
 Then she smiled, ?I found what we did very helpful too.?  Gil kissed her, ?As did I?. 
Gil?s phone rang.  ?Sir,? the voice said, ?I hate to bother you at home but I just found something you should see.?
 The ?voice? belonged to George, the janitor.  ?Hon, I need to run back to the lab for a minute,? he said.  ?Bug stuff?? Sara asked.  ?Yes,? he lied.  At the lab Gil looked up George, they went to the locker room.
 ?I saw it when I went to clean up.  I figured I better show you,? he said pointing to Sara?s locker.  On the door in bright red spray paint was the word WHORE.  Gil took some pictures then processed it just like he would any other scene.
 ?Please clean this George,? he said, ?Mrs. Grissom is not to know about this! Understand??  ?Yes sir,? he said as he got a chemical to clean it with.  ?If it dose not take it off, replace the door, before she gets here.? Gil said.
 ?Yes sir.  But someone will have to sign an authorization from.?  ?No problem,? Gil said.  That night Sara stopped at her locker, she looked at the door, ?George is working overtime, this door has been washed.?
 ?Yes,? Gil said, ?I came in here to get something from my locker and tripped over my big feet and my coffee spilled all over it.?  He hated lying to her, but he was not about to let her know the truth either.
