Chapter 14

Over the course of the next three months the team each had a chance to work with Gil. There was definitely a friendship starting to develop between Grissom and the team.

Ecklie was still not happy with the fact that Grissom was able to get his own way. "Ecklie just can't stand not being the Alpha Male," Catherine had said one time. At the house Sara had told him how happy she was that the team had accepted him and their relationship. "They are a good team," Gil had said.

Gil was pleased to find out that the whole team had accepted their invitation for the wedding. Well – everyone but Conrad. "You know he was told to attend by the under sheriff," Jim said.

Gil snickered, "Well I am glad he is not coming. I don't like that man." The day of the wedding was perfect. The threat of rain in the morning faded away to a beautiful sunny day. The simple ceremony was as lovely as the day was.

During the reception the team was introduced to a couple of new comers. "Guys, this is Allie Johnson and Bryson James." The team remembered them from the story Sara told. "The have both enrolled in classes at the forensic academy," Sara said.

Sara noticed a diamond on Allie's finger, "I guess he finally got a clue," Sara said, smiling.

Gil and Sara wanted to go back to the beach again for their honeymoon but did not want a repeat of their last beach vacation. They decided on Miami, "I know they have a good CSI lab there," Gil had joked.

Sara and Gil's honeymoon suite was the penthouse of one of Miami's finest hotels. Their bedroom had a large picture window over looking the ocean. Gil was changing and Sara was looking around the living room area when the door bell rang.

"Lt. Caine, Miami/Dade PD ma'am. I am looking for Dr. Grissom." He said. "Damn! Not again," Sara said. "Gilbert!" she yelled. Gil come from the bedroom, "Horatio, my friend. How good to see you again," Gil said shaking his hand.

"Gilbert. Congratulations. I take it this is the Mrs.?" Horatio said. "Sara, Horatio Caine. Horatio, my wife, Sara" Gil said.

"Horatio and I worked a case 5 or 6 years ago," Gil explained to Sara. Sara gave Gil a nasty look. "Purely a personal call between friends ma'am," Horatio said smiling, "That and an invitation to dinner." Sara smiled, "I am sorry for the way I acted." Horatio gave her his famous half smile, "I understand ma'am, Gilbert told me about your other beach trip. I promise I have no intention in interrupting your honeymoon."

Sara smiled, "Thank you. And please call me Sara." Horatio told them he would be back at 7 and pick them up for dinner.

At 7 Sara answered the knock on the door, this time smiling. "Gilbert, Sara, I would like you to meet Natalia Boa Vista," Horatio said introducing the lady standing next to him. Horatio took them to the BALEEN Restaurant, they sat on the patio as they enjoyed the food and each others company.

Later they went to a club near the restaurant where they had drinks and danced. Horatio took Sara and Gil back to their hotel. "Thank you for a wonderful evening," Sara said.

"You are most welcome, it was our privilege," Horatio said. Natalia whispered something in Horatio's ear, he blushed. "I have just been reminded that you are on your honeymoon so we will say our good nights and leave you both." Sara smiled as she shut the door, hanging the DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door.
