Me And You – Chapter 1
After Sara's kidnapping by the miniature killer, Grissom was going insane emotionally. He ended up slipping on his secret relationship with Sara. When they found Sara, Grissom wouldn't leave her side. The team processed and managed to get enough to put Natalie away. Grissom stayed at the hospital with Sara. He didn't leave until she woke up. When she woke up she realized he was there. After a while she asked him how long he had been there and he responded, "A week." She sent him home to shower and get some rest. He didn't' want to leave her, but he didn't want to fight with her either. So he spent his days in the hospital with Sara and his nights at work or home on Sara's orders.
Two months later when Sara recovered enough to go home, Grissom took her home. The whole lab knew at this point about their relationship. Ecklie thought about saying something to Grissom, but never did. Grissom really didn't want to go to work every night but Sara insisted. He would go to work and call her on his break.
When Sara completely recovered and returned to work everyone was excited to have her back. Halfway through shift Ecklie came in the break room where the team was seated, and asked to see Sara and Grissom after shift in his office. They kind of figured it would happen, but they were not worried.
At the end of shift Sara and Grissom went to Ecklie's office. "Great you're here. Have a seat." Grissom and Sara walked in his office and sat down. "Now that Sara is back at work something has to change. Sara, you are going to have to transfer or go to days."
"Actually Ecklie, she doesn't," came a voice from the hallway. Ecklie, Sara, and Grissom looked towards the voice. It was the sheriff.
"What?" exclaimed Ecklie.
"She can stay here on graveyard. Grissom just can't handle anything to do with her pay or evaluations. Catherine is still qualified to do that. Right?" said the sheriff.
"Fine… You can leave," said a very defeated Ecklie.
Grissom and Sara smiled at each other, stood up, thanked the sheriff, and left to got home.
