This next chapter has to deal with Sara and Danny.

Sara and Daniel

Sara and Daniel just dropped Amy off at her car, when Danny asked if she could come over for dinner tomorrow, she told her son that was fine with her, he had to ask Amy. Dan rolled down his window asking Amy if she would come over for dinner tomorrow, she agreed, Danny was so excited. Sara saw the look of confusion on Amy's face. She was trying to comprehend what had just happened. Sara told herself that she would talk to Amy about it tomorrow. There was so much to tell the young woman, a part of her loved Amy. Even though Gil wasn't Amy's biological father, Amy reminded Sara so much of Gil, she didn't like to be away from Amy, she had asked her if she would stay at her home and not at a hotel, but Amy had turned down the offer, she couldn't blame they barely knew each other, but that had changed today. Maybe after supper tomorrow Amy would change her mind about spending her vacation at Sara's home or Amy would get freaked out and end her vacation early and go home. She prayed the latter wouldn't happen, Amy deserved to know everything. Amy barely knew Sara but she had agreed to take a week vacation and come out and get to know each other.

Sara smiled at herself as she thought about what happened between her and Grissom before she decided that she needed to leave before she self-destructed in front of him. Sara started to float back to ten years ago, when was still in so much emotional pain, she was trying to deal with it and be with Gil at the same time, she was slowly failing at that. Sara was walking through the lab trying to find Gil, ever since she switched to swing shift, she hardly saw him anymore, they were living together and still hardly got to see each other, the only person she found was Catherine. She asked Cath if she knew where Gil was, Catherine told her she wasn't completely sure but what she did know was that Gil now had a big colony of bees to take care of, her best bet to find him was to follow the bees.

Sara knew exactly where to find Gil. For scientific reasons the lab had its own nursery, flower nursery. If there were bees, that's where they would be knowing the bugman. Knowing that she needed to be in protective gear before she submitted herself to the bees, put on the gear before walking out to Gil.

Walking out into the sunlight, she got Grissom's eye and he smiled.

"Oh, you know I love it when you dress up" Grissom said.

Sara laughing, "Well, whatever it takes to get some time with you."

She asks him how the bees are doing, and the two talk about the colony. He makes a joke that they won't sting him, as long as they don't sense an intruder, reason for the smoke he's using, or if you don't take one in your hand and try to crush or it gets scared and you jump, making the bee sting you.



Sara looking down at the bees, "Don't worry he's harmless" Refering to Grissom.

He tells her to take her glove off to prove how harmless they are.

"Uh ok, I trust you" Sara says as she pulls her glove off.

Grissom puts the bee on Sara's hand and looks away as Sara turns her hand watching the bee.

"You know, maybe we should get married" Grissom says.

Sara startled gets stung by the bee distracting them for a moment.

"So, uh,…..what do you think?" He asks her.

Sara smiles, "Yes, Let's Do It"

That was the happiest day of her life when Grissom asked her to marry him. Everything after that had been great in Sara's life, and more than great between her and Grissom. For a week, whenever they got the chance they discussed when they should get married. Sara feeling herself start to pull herself emotionally out of her life, suggested they get married soon. Grissom slightly disagreed he wanted the team there when they got married; Sara wanted it to be just the two of them. Grissom loving her the way he did, gave into her wishes. Three days later, the two were quietly wed in a church with only the pastor there. They had been married for a week, when Hannah came screeching into her life again. She was doing fine or so she thought until she interrogated Hannah and the young girl turned the tables on

Sara interrogates Hannah. Grissom watches them from behind the one way mirror. Hannah tries to mess up Sara's mind by bringing up the miniature case. When Sara was trapped under the car in the desert. Sara gets mad, slams the table with both her hands, and walks out from the room.

After she walked out of the room Grissom tried to confront her about what just happened, something in Sara snapped:

"Hey what are you doing here" Sara snapped.

"I was about to ask you the same question. Listen, I'm just worried about you" Gil responds

Sara tries backing off while Grissom keeps on approaching her.

"That just makes things worse. I can't talk about this right now. I can't" Sara protests.

She storms off

She knew now he was just trying to be there for her like he always was when things like this happened.

She went to office his later that day to talk to him, when her phone rang. She said she'd be right there, and looked at Grissom, she couldn't believe this just happened. Marlon hung himself in his cell 

after he was unable to convince Hannah to admit to what she did. After that she went to find Hannah, to let her know what had happened to her brother. After she came back to lab after dealing with Hannah, she walked through the lab, and passionately kissed Grissom right in front of Hodges, she ran her hands down his chest and gave him a light pat, signaling to take care of himself. She walked away leaving Grissom shocked at what happened. She went to the break room and used her knife to take her name tag off of her vest, and taped on the vest good luck before placing the vest in Ronnie's locker, as she walked out the door she threw her name tag in the trash, she left a note for Grissom with the receptionist Judy, she knew that if she tried telling him to his face, she wouldn't be able to leave.

Gil,

You know I love you. I feel I've loved you forever. Lately, I haven't been feeling very well. Truth be told, I'm tired. Out in the desert, under that car that night, I realized something and I haven't been able to shake it.

Since my father died, I've spent almost my entire life with ghosts. We've been like close friends, and out there in the desert, it occurred to me that it was time for me to bury them. I can't do that here. I'm so sorry.

No matter how hard I try to fight it off, I'm left with the feeling that I have to go. I have no idea where I am going, but I know I have to do this. If I don't, I'm afraid I'll self-destruct, and worse, you'll be there to see it happen.

Be safe. Know that I tried very hard to stay. Know that you are my one and only. I will miss you with every beat of my heart. Our life together was the only home I've ever really had. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I love you. I always will.

Goodbye

And with that, she left Vegas and Grissom behind. She knew she had hurt him as soon as he read the note, but this was something she had to, if he loved her as much as she thought he did he would understand.

A week later, she had talked to Gil on the phone and told him that she was with in San Francisco with her mother. A month later she spent her time with her mother. Trying to get her mind off of what she had left behind. A month later things had a gotten a bit worse on her. She realized she still wasn't feeling good, she thought it was because she was burnt out and just tired. Her mom convinced her to go to the doctor. This couldn't be happening, she couldn't be pregnant. They had been so careful, neither of them were ready for kids, they had just gotten married, and just wanted it to be them for right now. She talked to her mom about this, and with the help of her mom, even though she was pregnant she couldn't just go running back, she needed to do what she came here to do.



Sara gets swept back to the present, looking at the young man sitting in the back seat. He reminded her of the love of her life everyday; he was what kept her going all of these years. He was nothing like his father; she smiled to herself about the day she found out how gross he thought bugs were. A few years ago he asked about his dad, he was growing jealous watching all of his friends with their dads; he wanted to know why he didn't have a dad. She was a loss of words the day he asked her that, she promised him almost everyday for a year that he would meet his dad, after a year of asking he gave up, and threw himself into soccer and reading every book he could get his hands on. Sara had spent so much money on books the past two years; she was amazed she just didn't open a library. After the two got home and ate supper, Sara did something she hadn't done in a couple of years, she tucked her son into bed, and he had asked her once not to do that anymore. She knew that, she would eventually have to let Gil know that he had a son; Danny was starting to become distant from her. He didn't understand why she wouldn't talk about his dad. Sara tucked him and told him that tomorrow night was going to be special. Sara went to bed that night thinking about how exactly she was going to tell Amy the truth about her family. Sara loved Amy, after all she was the women's adoptive mother.

Starting with this chapter and from here in out Sara is going to be a major part of the story, but a GSR reunion is still chapters away.
