ONLY THE STARS WILL KNOW
Chapter 10
After shift Gil walked in the house, he knew something was up, he was just not sure what. Sara had already taken a long hot bath, the house smelled of a combination of fresh roses and lilacs.
"Hi love," Sara said, as she kissed him.
"What have you done this time?" Gil asked, a chuckle in his voice.
Sara slapped him, "Can't a wife want a special evening with her husband?"
Gil pulled her into his arms, "Every minute of every day is special when I am with you. Now what is it you have to tell me?"
Sara smiled, he knew her all to well.
"Come sit with me," she said as she took his hand, "I have been doing a lot of thinking and not I need to talk to you about some major decisions I have made."
Gil was sure this had to do with the possibility of a baby, he knew she had seen Dr. Ball earlier. Gil sat on the sofa, Sara snuggled next to him.
"Sharon said that everything is a go, I am ovulating on a regular cycle now."
"That's good," Gil said, as he ran his hand gently up and down her arm, "Why do I have a feeling there is more? Have you changed your mind about a child?"
"Absolutely not," Sara said, "There is nothing I want more then to have your child. What I have decided is to get out."
"We talked about that," Gil said, a little confused, "As soon as a pregnancy is confirmed."
Sara pulled just far enough away so she could face him. "I know," she said, "But I want out NOW."
Gil looked at her, even more confused then he was before. He doubted there was a CSI anywhere who enjoyed their work more then Sara. "Now?" he asked.
"Don't say no," Sara said, "Hear me out. Let's say that we make a baby tonight."
Gil just smiled.
"I am serious," Sara said.
"Ok," Gil said.
"It could take three to four weeks for the pregnancy to be confirmed," Sara said.
"And you are afraid that something could happen," Gil said, finally following her line of thinking.
"Exactly," Sara said, "I just don't want to take any chances. It is like Sharon said, there are enough things that can go wrong, why add to it."
Gil sat back and thought, "True. By "getting out" are you talking about the lab or the field?"
"I talked to Sharon in depth," Sara said, "She said that there is a small risk in the lab but not enough to be overly concerned with. She gave me a list of certain things that I should and should not be around so as long as I follow it, she sees no reason why I have to resign. There is no reason why I can't still do my job. I am good at it."
That Gil had to agree with, Sara was by far one of the best material and element analysts he had ever worked with.
Gil pulled her back next to him, "Then it is settled, we'll talk to Ecklie tomorrow."
Sara lay her head on his shoulder, "Thank you."
The sat and talked a little longer about their day and what not, then Sara eased her hand down to Gil's crouch and started to gently squeeze his manhood, "Let's go make a baby."
Gil kissed her, "Yes."
The smell of roses and lilac was soon mixed with the strong musky smell of sex. Sara had expertly led them both into an intense climax by using her movements as she straddled atop Gil.
Sara had collapsed forward, strength gone, breathing erratic. Gil gently stroked her back and held her until she once more found the strength to move.
Gil was lying on his back, Sara nestled close to him. Gil's left arm around her he gently rubbing her shoulder. Sara's head was on his chest, her hair damp from sweat. Their breathing had finally slowed and their pulses had returned to normal.
He smiled as he kissed the top of her head, "Do you think we made a baby?" Gil asked smiling.
Sara kissed his chest, "Guess we will just have to wait and see. I'm just not going to dwell on it," Sara added, "It will happen when it happens."
Gil smiled and kissed the top of her head, he was so glad that Sara was not going to let it consume her.
The next shift they walked into Ecklie's office together, there was no way Gil was going to let Sara face him alone.
Sara handed Conrad a piece of paper, "It has already been approved," she told him.
Conrad read over the paper, "You are transferring into the lab? May I ask why?"
"You can ask," Gil said, "But she doesn't have to tell you."
As they both started to leave Conrad told Gil to stay, he needed to talk to him.
"I'll get my lab organized," Sara said, to Gil, "Stop by and see me."
Gil nodded.
After Sara left Ecklie pointed to a chair, "Sit!"
"I have a feeling I would rather stand," Gil said.
"I had a friend of mine in line for that job," Ecklie said standing and getting right into Gil's face, "And I intend to make sure she gets it. I am giving you fair warning, tell Sara to change her mind or I swear I'll make her life a living hell."
Gil looked at Ecklie, "I can make yours worse, don't push me or I will." Gil walked away.
Ecklie fell back into his chair, Gil had an ace he could play and Conrad knew he would. The fact that Grissom was the number one forensic entomologist in the state of Nevada pulled a lot of weight with the powers that be and by the look on Gil's face - Ecklie knew Grissom would play it. Conrad picked up the phone and dialed some numbers, "The job is taken but I am sure I can still get you in as an assistant."
