I do not own CSI, blah, blah, blah, you know the drill!
"Come on Gil, why won't you pick up?" Sara mumbled as she walked down the hall. It was the middle of shift, and Sara had been in court all day, they finally called her to the stand at the end of the day.
Pushing the end button on her phone, Sara sighed until she heard Nick calling her into the break room.
"Sara, what are you doing here? It's your night off remember?"
"Yeah well, I really didn't feel like spending the night home alone."
"Ah, Griss will be back in Vegas before you know it. He's supposed to be home in what, a month?" Nick asked as Greg and Catherine both popped their heads out of Grissom's old office with a thumbs up before hiding around the corner.
"32 days to be exact, not that I'm counting at all."
"Of course not. Well, seeing as you're here, a package came for you, it's on your desk in the office."
"What kind of package?"
"Well, not that I was snooping or anything, but the postmark on it was Paris."
"No, not snooping at all," Sara said with a big grin on her face as she left the break room and went into Grissom's old office, the team's new shared office. She never noticed Cath, Greg and Nick somewhat behind her with smiles on their faces.
Stepping into the office, Sara smiled at the small package that was on her desk. Grabbing it with a smile she didn't notice the figure step out from the corner of the room.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Sara."
"Gil," Sara whispered before turning around. A huge smile graced her face as she saw her husband standing with a single rose in his hand and a smile on his face.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, I missed you."
"You know I missed you, too, but your lectures-"
"I got them covered for a week. I told the school that I needed to go see my wife for a few days," Gil spoke softly as he moved closer and closer to his wife, until there was little space separating the two.
"Now, are you going to welcome me back or am I going to have to see Hodges for a welcome back," Gil said with a smile on his face before Sara's lips descended on his, both smiling into the kiss, both not noticing as three people watched from the doorway.
The kiss continued on, and at the peak of a tongue, someone coughed and broke the couple apart.
"What?" Sara asked.
"You do realize you're making out in the office with the door open and everyone can see in, right," Greg snickered out.
"I'm sure all the lab rats realize that I haven't seen my wife since Christmas and know that there's nothing wrong with kissing my her."
"Yeah, yeah. So, you like your package from Paris, Sara?" Catherine asked with a smile.
"Having my husband show up unexpectedly is always a nice surprise."
"I'm sure having Gil is a nice surprise, but I was talking about that tiny box still sitting on your desk."
"Oh, well I kinda thought that Gil was the surprise and the box was just-"
"The diversion to get you in here," Gil finished.
"Yeah"
"Well, you're right, it was just a diversion to get you in here."
"Kinda figured."
"Doesn't mean the box is empty, though," Gil spoke as a smile broke out on Sara's face.
"I always figured you loved getting presents from men, Sara, even if you chose to deny it."
"I am a girl, Cath, and what girl doesn't like getting something from her husband once and awhile," Sara answered as Gil placed the box in her hand, as they both sat on the top of the desk.
Shaking the box, Sara listened to hear the contents, and then started to examine the box.
"Sara, if you don't open that box soon, I'm going to," Catherine said with a smile as Sara took the bow and paper off, revealing a long velvet box.
An eyebrow raise from Sara to Gil made him speak.
"Go on, open it."
So with a click of the box, Sara saw what laid in wait for her. A beautiful white gold necklace, with a tiny bee made out of diamonds sitting in the middle.
"Gil," Sara gasped.
"Happy Valentine's Day."
"It's beautiful," Sara said as she took the necklace out of the box, showing it to the boys and Catherine before handing it to Gil. Holding her hair up, she waited for Gil to clasp it around her neck.
"Only you would think to get a necklace with a bug on it," Nick said with a laugh.
"And only Sara would think it was the best gift in the world," Greg laughed along with them.
"But, it's still beautiful, simple and beautiful," Catherine added.
"It is, thank you," Sara said softly, placing another soft kiss on her husband's lips.
"Ok, ok, enough with the mushy stuff in the office," Greg spoke with a smile.
"Still want to stick around here for the rest of shift, Sara?" Nick asked.
"Not a chance! I don't have a quiet house anymore," Sara said already getting up and grabbing her bag off the floor, Gil right behind her.
"Right, because Griss makes a lot of noise."
"Well, maybe not on his own, but put us together I'm sure we can liven up our house," Sara said wiggling her eyebrows, grabbing Gil's hand and starting to exit the office.
"Didn't need that visual, Sara," Greg pouted as the two walked down the hallway.
"Sara, Gil, Valentine's Day brunch at the bar, you two better show up!"
"Yes, Catherine," the duo replied with smiles on their faces as they left the lab.
"Bow chica wow wow" was heard somewhere in the distance.
