Chapter 10

As the night went on, the team became tired. Sara looked over at Grissom who was sitting in a chair holding a sleeping Khyla. She was nuzzled up to his neck and was out like a light. Sara got up and walked over to him. "Why don't we go home a put her down for bed. Mom left her stuff with me so she can stay with us. Do you know where the boys are?" Grissom got up slowly careful not to wake the sleeping child.

"Look over there." Grissom whispered. Sara looked towards the bar. And sure enough both boys were talking to girls.

"I'll be right back." Grissom grabbed her wrist before she got to far away.

"Now honey, don't embarrass them to much. You know we want them out of the house." Grissom said with a smirk.

"I won't I just want them to know were leaving and to be carful on the way home." She said. Then turned and walked away. Grissom went to get Khyla's coat.

"Hey guys. Griss and I are leaving your on your own getting home." The boys didn't even look up. Sara knew they didn't hear her. But she knew they learn one day. So she just left them talking to these girls, while being 3 sheets to the wind.

"So what they say?" Grissom asked when Sara met him at the door.

"Ok. So I'm not waiting up." Sara said. The limo pulled up and Sara got in and Grissom carefully passed Khyla over to her. Khyla began to stir but found a conformable spot on Sara's shoulder and went back to sleep. Grissom followed in and sat next to Sara.

"That lasted forever it seemed." Sara whisper to herself.

"It did seem to drag on." Grissom but his arm behind Sara's head and she leaned into his shoulder. He smelled of mint and aftershave. She soon found her self drifting off to sleep, but was awakened when the car came to a stop. Grissom gently shook her and he got out taking Khyla and helping Sara out. They made there way to the room. Grissom walked into his room and put Khyla in his bed and then went to the rest room to change. While Sara went into her room and changed into her night clothes and walked into Grissom room and cuddled up to Khyla. Grissom walked out of his bathroom and looked at the sleeping duo. Sara looked so beautiful and at peace when she slept. He felt pride in the love he had for her and now for a little girl. She was only in his life for 5 hours and he already loved her so much. It was amazing that he had them in his life. He was determined to not screw it up. He walked over to the bed and snuggled up to the sleeping pair. They slept together for the first time as a family. And it wasn't going to be the last.
