Once again I find myself apologizing for the late post, but good news. I have gotten three chapters ahead. I might even get them regularly posted. Lol. Hope you enjoy and leave a review.

Grissom walked into the kitchen and took in a deep breath. It had taken a lot of willpower to not grab Sara and kiss her senseless. He knew she was his wife, and that sharing a kiss with her would be natural.
He just couldn't get over the fact that just yesterday, none of this was happening. He began to clean up the mess he made while cooking breakfast when he heard the shower start in the bedroom.
He stood there imagining what it would be like to wash her back for her, or other parts for that matter. He shook his head both mentally and physically before his body began to react to the thoughts running through it.
Twenty minutes later he was just putting the last dish in the dishwasher when she came out dressed in a nightgown. He gave her a quizzical look. She just looked back at him, "I decided to dress casual today, is that a problem?"
He just shook his head and turned his attention back to the task at hand. The nightgown was nice, and Sara had decided to keep to something conservative. It was just the thought of being in the same room with her in nothing but a nightgown that sent the blood in his veins south.
He took in a couple of deep breaths before heading out to the living room. Sara was already seated on the couch with the remote in her hand. She was flipping through the channels.
"Looking for something unparticular?" he asked.
"No, just surfing."
"There's a show on Discovery you might like" he suggested.
Sara Smiled "alright, what channel?"
"250"
Sara punched in the channel and patted the couch next to her and Grissom sat down on the opposite corner just as the opening song to the show began. Sara grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and laid down across the couch, placing her head on his lap.
Grissom sucked in a breath and Sara smiled at his reaction, "so, what show is this?" she asked watching the man on screen talking to someone over a manhole.
"Dirty Jobs" Grissom managed to get out. He was trying to control his body's reaction to having Sara's head so close to…
"How about some popcorn?" he said quickly getting up. He didn't hear the chuckle Sara let slip when he went into the kitchen.
She could tell she was making him react to her, but he still refused to give into it. They were married for heaven's sake. Of course, neither of them knew that before yesterday. Maybe she was being hard on him.
"Can you get me some tea?" she asked. He came out a couple minutes later with two steaming mugs and a bowl of popcorn. She smiled at the bowl, "nice bowl" she commented.
It was a large bowl with the Scooby Doo characters on it.
"It was a Christmas gift from Greg."
"Oh" she said before letting out a laugh. He chuckled himself before grabbing some popcorn and putting it into his mouth. Sara took a sip of her tea and placed it on the table. She looked at him "may I?" she asked, indicating his lap.
She was asking if she could lie down again, giving him control of the situation. He nodded his head and she once again made herself comfortable. He put the popcorn bowl in front of her stomach and the two of them settled down to watch the show.
When the show was over Grissom looked down at Sara and saw she had fallen asleep. He began to look through the channels on the TV, and finding a movie he liked, he changed the channel.
Sara woke an hour later, her head still on Grissom's lap. He was sound asleep and Monsters Inc. was playing on the TV. She smiled and snuggled in a bit deeper, going back to sleep.
They stayed like that for another two hours, the previous nights activities making them sleep. Grissom woke to his home phone ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey Grissom, this is Greg."
"Greg I'm not available to come into work…"
"What? Oh. No. I was wondering if you know where Sara is? I was supposed to come to her place for a movie today but she wasn't there and she didn't come into work last night."
"Why would I know where Sara is?" Grissom asked while looking down at Sara's sleeping form. "Did you call her cell phone?"
"Yeah, and her home phone, and stopped by her house. I'm a little worried about her. Cath said you called in for her last night, I figured you'd know."
"I took her home last night and I'm sure she's fine, probably just forgot to turn her phone on or something. I'll see if I can get a hold of her."
"Ok, thanks. Sorry to bother you."
"It's alright Greg, if I get a hold of her I'll have her call you. Bye."
"Bye"
Grissom hung up the phone and looked back down at Sara. Her eyes were open and she was looking at him.
"Why was Greg calling you?"
"Seems someone stood him up today. He was asking me where this person was."
"Oh shit, I totally forgot" Sara said before getting up in a rush, she immediately sat back down "whoa."
"You alright?" Grissom asked in a rush while checking her over.
"I guess I'm still a bit woozy."
"Sit here, I'll get your cell for you so you can call Greg." Sara nodded her head and he went to get her phone.
He handed her phone over to her and then disappeared into the kitchen to give her some privacy.
"Hey Greggo"
"Sara, I was worried about you. Where are you?"
"I'm at a friends. I went to the doctor's yesterday and they advised I stay with someone."
"I'm a friend. You could have stayed with me" he suggested.
"I don't think so. I'm fine where I'm at."
"And that would be…"
"No Greg, just don't worry."
