Just Only

Chapter 2

After receiving such positive feedback, I decided to post this thing. It probably could stand on it's own, but I don't want it to. It is a little more together and related than my first chapter

A/N- I stare at food all the time. I don't know why. It's just kind of peaceful..I guess. My husband and daughter then yell at me to find something to do with myself. (It's kinda scary how much she's like him sometimes.) This usually happens when I don't have a paper to do or tests or anything, and am not really sure if I am hungry. I also find the bathroom quite peaceful. Disgusting, I know, but still, something about it allows me to work better. I just sit fully dressed in the tub. No idea why or when I came about these odd beleifs.

Anyway, on with the show!

"Are you going to eat something?" Grissom watched Sara stare into the fridge.

"I don't know."

"Then close the door."

"Okay," Sara closed it and maked over to the cupboard, opening it and staring at the food. Grissom smiled and moved behind her.

"That doesn't help. Eat something."

"I don't think I'm hungry."

"Then why are you looking at the food?"

"I don't know. Just trying to gage whether I'm hungry or just want to look at it."

Grissom smirked at her and moved into the living room. Sara stood there, and after some time, moved back to the fridge.

Grissom moved the cart up and down the aisle. Each and every one. Sara meandered aside him.

"Do we have to go down every. Single. Aisle."

He smiled slightly, "For someone who likes to stand there and stare at food, you complain a lot about shopping for said food."

"That is what a list is for," Sara smiled back innocently.

"I would like to make sure that we do not miss anything."

"There's no possibly way to miss anything!"

Grissom just looked at the products lining the shelves. Sara huffed and rolled her eyes.

"Then I'm getting in."

Grissom turned back to her confused, "Where?"

"The cart."

Sara started to move things around so that she could fit.

"Sara, you can't sit in the cart."

"Who says?"

"I do."

"Well, if it weren't for you, we would have been out of here by now."

Sara slide her butt over the side of the cart. Leaning over, she grabbed the box of cereal and tore it open.

"Sara! You can't do that!"

"I'm going to pay for it," She grabbed a handful and shoved it into her mouth. The others shoppers gazed, confused, at Sara as they passed. It wasn't everyday you saw a full grown woman, half sitting in a cart, eating from an unpaid cereal box. Even in Vegas.

Grissom walked into the break room. Something was off. Oh yeah, where the hell was everybody? Shift started at least five minutes ago, and he hadn't given out assignments yet.

He walked over to the breakroom, hearing laughter.

"Where'd you get it from?"

"Get what?" Grissom entered.

"Herrrrrr necklace!"

"Greg, if you would like to buy one for yourself, I'm sure Sara would love to give you the location of purchase. But then, of course, we would all expect you to wear it. Now, what was everyone REALLY talking about?"

Sara smiled at him, "Look...Griss...don't get mad or anything but, everyone sorta saw the picture."

Grissom's face turned in horror, "What?"

"Yeah."

"If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go die in my office." Grissom briskly walked out the door.

Catherine yelled after him, "Aren't you forgetting your crown?"

Sara turned to everyone, "That wasn't good."

"Yeah, but when else are you gonna see Grissom in a crown and tutu?"

"I'll be back," Sara mentioned as she slipped out the door while the others talked.

"Grissom?" Sara entered his office.

"How DID you get hold of that picture?"

"I was looking through the photobooks. It was just so funny, I couldn't resist."

"It was for Ellie's birthday. She wanted me to play dressup with her and Jim and I couldn't say no."

"I know."

The chair swiveled around.

"At least it wasn't Jim's. He had to dress up as a princess, dress and all."

Sara laughed at the thought.

"You going to come hand out assignments?"

"Sure, get everyone into the break room. I'll be out in a minute."

Sara left and Grissom was thinking of Ellie. Sure, Jim's daughter had been fun, even if she hadn't turned out as well as some planned. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad to have kids?

A/N My daughter eats food that is unpaid for while shopping. It's no problem. I just find it weird. Her dad musta showed her that, cuz I sure as hell didn't!

Also, I'm trying to work on several unfinished half stories/chapters so that I can get them out before my due date comes which is April 20. Thanks to all.
