It was a miracle. The man that hardly took a day off in his life had now decided to take a full week off! No one would have guessed it was Gil Grissom. Of course there was a few weekends here and there was the one time he did call in sick…only to be called in to testify on a case. So you wouldn't really count them as been off, would you?

Don't get me wrong I'm glad he is taking it off. I don't mean to sound like a heartless bitch but, since Sara left, the lab has been like a second home to him. Who am I kidding it is his home! He only left to spend time with his dog.

Of course I know there is a reason he is taking it off and it ant to teach no seminar or catch up on his sleep. (Even though he does need to.) There's another reason and I do intend on finding out.

"I see you're taking next week off." Catherine said as she walked into his office.

He knew this was coming, he tried to avoid her but you cant do that when she is sitting in your office.

"Well Catherine, there's nothing wrong with your eye-sight." retorted Grissom.

"And there is nothing wrong with your hearing is there." Catherine said back. "So come-on, spill, why are you taking a week off Gil? And don't go giving me bull, I can read you like a book!"

"Well Catherine, whatever I do tell you, you aren't going to believe it are you?" Grissom asked.

"Okay probably not. But I swear to god if there's a load of paper work to be done don't you dare think I wont bring it over to you, cos' I will." Catherine threatened.

"Who said I was staying in Vegas?" Grissom questioned.

"Please Gil, If you were leaving Vegas you would be giving one of us the dog to look after or go over to your place and water the plants or feed your creepy little friend's. You are not leaving Vegas."

"How do you I haven't asked one of my neighbors?" He asked.

"Don't make me laugh Griss." Catherine replied smiling.

"Okay so I'm not leaving. Catherine you are very good at your job and one day you're going to be sitting in this chair." Grissom said all laughter leaving the room.

"Are you dying?" Catherine asked.

"No Catherine, I'm not. I'm telling the truth. There will be a day this lab wont be a part of my life, I'll have my own family to look after, I will have served my time by then."

Catherine thought for a moment over what Grissom had just said.

"Is this your twisted way of telling me Sara is pregnant?"

Without even waiting for an answer Catherine rambled on.

"Oh my god she is! Isn't she? I mean why else would you be talking about leaving the lab? This all makes perfect sense….."

"Catherine calm down ! Sara is not pregnant, this Catherine is how rumors are started." "Sorry." Catherine replied meekly. "I just assumed with you on about 'leaving the lab' and 'looking after your own family' that Sara was pregnant. I am allowed to be wrong once in a while. So speaking of Sara, how is she?"

"Fine."

"Fine? That's-that's all you're going to say? The love of your life, and the reason you're taking a week off, is fine!"

"Yes." Grissom said looking out over the top of his classes.

"A-ha you are taking the week off cos' of Sara! I knew it, I knew it! Like I said I can read you like a book." Catherine said with a beaming smile on her face.

"Catherine, I never said," Grissom started.

"Ah but you did. Remember 'and the reason you're taking the week off is fine' you answered yes my friend. I knew if I waited long enough I would catch you out, I just knew it. Not that I'm complaining. I, for one, am glad you got your ass out of the microscope. It took you long enough. And don't worry, work will not interfere, I promise. So you go make your family this week Griss and in return all I ask is to be the godmother of the first born, I don't think that's such a high price."

Before Grissom could answer, Catherine was half way down the hall laughing to her self.

A/N So this is a re-do of my first story because I did not like it! I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that I can update this as often as possible (unlike last time….) This has not been beta'd so all mistakes are mine (which there probably is a lot of!) Any way I don't CSI wish I did but sadly like you I don't! -sad face- Please review if you like it and tell me what you think. And to those who read my last attempt a Big Thank you for reading my (new) story and for all the reviews.
