Sara and Grissom have left Vegas and have set up home together.

I started to write this in work yesterday during Lunch and it kind of ran over into a long lunch :)

Sara watched from the window as everyone went about everyday things in the park across the road, she pulled her robe tighter around her and picked up the cup of coffee from the table beside her, as she put the cup back down she could here movement coming from the room but she still watched from the window not turning round.

Grissom walked up behind Sara wrapping his arms around her, "what you watching honey"? He asked,

Sara smiled and said, "It's nice here isn't it?" Sara said as she could feel Grissom's lips on her neck,

"It is, why don't we take a walk in the park later, but I was hoping you would come back to bed with me", Grissom said as he held Sara tight against his body.

"Only if we can go pick a Christmas tree after our walk, and I have to send the presents to Catherine, Nick and Greg, and you have to send Jim his", Sara said smiling.

Grissom smiled and took her hand and led her back to the bedroom, "Anything you want honey, we have all week together before….." Grissom stopped talking and closed his eyes hoping Sara wouldn't ask any questions.

Sara stopped pulling Grissom back towards her, "Before what?" she said looking at him standing in only his boxer shorts.

Grissom tried to keep a straight face looking at Sara, "Before …I can't tell you Sara it's a surprise, I shouldn't have said anything, come on back to bed", Grissom said pulling Sara towards him,

"Gil Grissom you have to tell me now", Sara said as they both got into bed, Grissom was trying to figure out what to tell Sara with out giving the surprise away.

Sara was looking into his eyes Grissom was trying to pull the covers over them both, Sara laughed and said, "Gil come on you have to tell me or I will not be giving you a Christmas present",

Grissom smiled and put his arms around Sara and said, "That's fine honey, but you know you wouldn't do that"

Sara put both her hands on his chest, "Oh is that right, wait and see on Christmas morning", then she turned round and Grissom was left facing her back.

Grissom was holding Sara's hand as they walked through the park, a dog ran up to them with a stick in its mouth and wagged its tail, Grissom bent down and took the stick from it's mouth, "Can you see the owner around Sara?", Grissom said as he patted the dog's head.

Sara was looking around and could see a man running towards them, "I think this might be him", Sara said as the dog barked.

A man stopped in front of Grissom, Sara and the dog a bit out of breath from running, "Hi hope he isn't being a bother to you", the man said,

"No he is fine, what's his name?" Grissom said as the dog sat wagging his tail,

"Hank, I am watching him for his owner who is away working, he does this to me every time I walk him, don't you boy", the man said bending down to attach a lead to the dog's collar, "mind he keeps me fit with all this running after him",

Sara laughed and said, "Yes I bet he does he looks a lively dog",

The man nodded trying to catch his breath back,

"Come on boy time to get home I have work to do, thanks again", the man said as he started to walk off.

Grissom handed him the stick, "Don't forget this", Grissom said,

"Thanks, I have a collection of these in my back yard", the man said as he walked off.

Sara watched as the dog followed wagging his tail trying to get the stick from the man's hand, Grissom looked at Sara, she misses Hank, but not for long, Grissom thought as he took Sara's hand, "Lets go get that Christmas tree", Grissom said,

Sara smiled at Grissom and squeezed his hand, I better not mention Hank as I know how much Grissom must miss him, I hope Jim is looking after him well, Sara thought.

As Grissom got the tree in the front door Sara moved the chair out the way, "Maybe it is too big", Sara said as Grissom nearly tripped over.

"Sara after taking two hours to pick a tree we are not taking this back, Grissom said as he put the tree in the corner of the room.

Sara laughed and as they both sat on the sofa looking at the tree that was taking up lots of space, "We can decorate it later if you want as I have to go post off the presents", Sara said as she kissed Grissom on the side of the face,

"No…. I will take the presents, why don't you get the decorations ready that we bought the other day and we can both hang them on the tree when I get back", Grissom said as he pulled Sara close to him,

"Ok and I will have a nice mug of coffee ready for when you get back", Sara said as she kissed him again.

They both sat kissing then Sara got up from the sofa, "I have all the presents ready have you got Jim's", Sara asked,

"Yes it's in the boot of the car", Grissom said as Sara went into the other room,

Sara handed Grissom the two boxes and said, "I got Hank a toy from us I have put it in the box with Greg's he can give it to Jim",

"Hank will get lots of toys from Jim I think Sara", Grissom said,

Sara smiled and said, "I know but I wanted to get one from us"

Grissom smiled and kissed Sara, "I miss him too honey", he said.

Sara smiled and said, "I know, we will see him after New Year, Come on get going and I will get the decorations ready",

Grissom made his way downstairs to the car, as he got to the car he looked up at the window to see Sara watching him, Grissom smiled and waved then he put the boxes in the boot of the car.

They had just finished putting the tree up, sitting on the sofa watching the lights flicker Sara said, "So what's the surprise Gil",..

Grissom stood up and laughed, "No Sara I'm not going to tell you, lets go and make dinner together", Grissom said holding out his hand.

Sara didn't take his hand she curled up on the sofa and said, "I'm not hungry",

Grissom laughed and said, "fine I will make my own" and off he walked into the kitchen closing the door.

Grissom stood over the sink filling a pot with water when he heard the door open, he smiled but didn't look round, "So are you having dinner with me", Grissom asked,

"Can you not give me a clue", Sara said as she walked into the kitchen.

Grissom laughed and put the pot on the hob, still not looking at Sara,

"But it won't be a surprise then Sara, you only have five more days to wait, surely you can wait", Grissom said as Sara sat down on the stool.

Grissom turned round when he didn't get an answer, he sae Sara with both hands under her chin with a sad face, he walked up and kissed her on the lips, "Five days and you will get your surprise Sara and I promise you will like it", Grissom said as he kissed her again.

Sara took his face in her hands, "You will tell me before then Gil Grissom you know you will", Sara said kissing him on the lips then she got up and walked out the kitchen.

"Dinner won't be long", Grissom shouted

"Ok, I'm just going for a quick shower", Sara shouted back.

Grissom laughed as he continued to prepare dinner.

After they had eaten they sat watching a DVD together on the sofa, Grissom was watching Sara instead of the TV, and he smiled at the thought of Christmas not working and in a new house together, they both had taken time off as every other year before they had both worked Christmas. Grissom had let the others take time off to be with family and Sara would work so she could be near Grissom.

"Why are you not watching the TV Gil Grissom", Sara said smiling,

Grissom kissed Sara on the neck, "I have something else better to watch", Grissom said as he made his way to her lips,

"Are you looking forward to Christmas Sara?" Grissom asked as he looked into Sara's eyes,

Sara smiled and said, "Of course I am Gil, It will be funny with just the two of us as we have always worked in the past, but I have never been so happy, I love you".

"I love you too Sara, it will be funny not working but we will have a great time together", Grissom said as they kissed.

A few minutes later Grissom said "Let's go to bed Sara",

Sara smiled and said, "Yes and you can tell me about this surprise",

They both stood up and Grissom laughed saying, "Sara I will give you another surprise tonight if you are lucky"

Sara laughed and said, "No Gil, if you are lucky",

"I'm always lucky Sara I have you", Grissom said as he led Sara to the bedroom.
