Author's note: Sorry guys, I know there were two other chapters that I originally posted on here but I decided to get rid of them and post this chapter instead. I know it's short but I think it suits the story better. Besides, I didn't really like the other two chapters I had posted before(for those that read them and know what I'm talking about).
Leila and Greg slowly woke up the next morning laying in their bed, still in their clothes from last night, not having bother to change when they had got home. Leila tried to get up but Greg wrapped his arms around her tighter and refused to let her up. She couldn't help but laugh.
"Greg, come on, let me up." she said, making another attempt to get up but it proved useless.
"No. Let's just stay in bed the entire day." said Greg.
"We can't, we have to go get Cassie and Michelle from Catherine's. We can't make Lily watch them forever. Now come on, get up." said Leila as she threw the covers off both her and Greg.
Instead of this making Greg get up, he simply rolled over and pulled the covers back up over himself. Leila couldn't help but laugh at him. He could be so stubborn sometimes but she had to admit, it was cute.
"Come on honey, if you get up I'll make you your favorite breakfast." she said, moving closer to him and leaning in close enough to his ear. "And then maybe later, you'll get a special treat."
Greg moved enough to look over his shoulder at her.
"Really?" he asked, wanting to check and make sure she wasn't just messing with him.
"Mmmhmm." said Leila, leaning down and kissing him deeply, pulling away after a couple minutes.
"Alright, you win. I'm getting up." said Greg.
"Works every time." said Leila as she got up and headed out of the bedroom. She saw that Leda was already up and sitting on the couch by herself. "Morning. Didn't Nick come home with you last night?"
"Yeah, but he's still in bed. Doesn't wanna get up, wants to stay in bed all day." said Leda, getting up and following her cousin into the kitchen.
"Greg was the same way a few minutes ago. Just do what I do with Greg, say that you'll make him favorite breakfast and than seduce them out of bed. Works for me every time." said Leila as she grabbed what she needed and set to work on making breakfast.
"Thought you're suppose to seduce them into bed, not the other way around?" asked Leda.
"Yeah but every once in a while you have to do the opposite, like on days like this when they don't want to get out of bed." said Leila.
"I'll have to remember that." said Leda.
"You know, I still can't believe that you danced with Hodges last night." said Leila.
"Yeah, and from what I heard and saw, you danced with Nick last night." said Leda.
"Well he had no one else to dance with since his girlfriend was dancing with another guy." said Leila.
"I don't think I'm exactly his girlfriend. I mean, he has even kiss me yet." said Leda.
"What? Nicky, our Nicky has so much as kissed you yet?" asked Leila, surprised.
"The most we're ever done together is cuddled. I wish that Nick and I had what you and Greg have. You guys are always together, you never miss a chance to give each other a kiss even if it's a quick one and you guys look like you have so much love for each other. What Grissom and Sara or Catherine and Warrick is nothing compared to what you and Greg have." said Leda.
"Yeah, well, it wasn't always so merry and rosey for us. We've had to fight for each other and fight to be together. When we first met, I knew I had deep feelings for Greg but I refused to act on them because I wanted to protect him. I didn't want to see him get hurt and I didn't want to get hurt again." said Leila.
"Because of your dad. So how did the two of you get together?" asked Leda.
"Well, we were working on this case back when I first started at the lab. We ended up following our suspect to California to try and find him. When we went to his house, we were attacked by these two guys and after we arrested those guys, we took a break and went to get something to eat. I stayed in the car while Catherine, Nick and Greg went inside. A few minutes later, Greg came back out with his food and brought me mine as well. We kind of ate in silence and then afterwards, I guess you could say that he kind of backed me into a corner. He asked me, right out of the blue, why I was always avoiding him and if it was something that he did or said. That's when I told him everything, about my childhood, my father, everything." said Leila.
"So what did he do after you told him all that? Did he say anything?" asked Leda.
"No. He just simply stared at me for a second than he leaned forward and kissed me. It was just a quick one but it was all I needed. After he pulled away, I kind of sat there for a minute, a bit stunned but than I grabbed him and kissed him back. We started making out like there was no tomorrow in that back seat, at least until Catherine and Nick came out and caught us." said Leila.
"And you guys have been together since?" asked Leda.
"Yeah. I mean, we went out on a few dates after that just so we'd have time alone and get to know each other better but we've been together ever since. Of course, when Grissom found out, he tried to stop us from seeing each other." said Leila.
"Yeah right. I'll bet you two kept on seeing each other." said Leda as Greg walked out of the bedroom and joined the two of them.
"Yes we did. 'Course when Grissom found out that we were seeing each other behind his back, he was so pissed. He almost went a whole day without speaking to either of us. Then when I told him that I wanted to ask Leila to marry me, he gave his full support. Isn't that right babe?" asked Greg as he walked over to Leila and stood behind her.
"Yes it is honey." said Leila, giving him a quick kiss than turning her attention back to make them all breakfast.
"Wow. Sounds like a case of true love at first sight." said Leda.
"I guess you could call it that but we had to fight like hell for us to even be together. And just not with Grissom. We had to fight Ecklie, the department, the FBI, almost everyone. I don't think anyone outside of our friends at the lab wanted us to be together. Hell, I even had to win over his parents." said Leila.
"Why's that?" asked Leda.
"I think he had more to with my dad and everything he kept putting us through. Couldn't say that I blamed them at the time but I for one am glad that we didn't listen to anyone that tried to keep us apart. I think now in the end, all of it was worth it." said Leila, smiling over at Greg.
"Wow. Can't believe after all the things you guys went through over the years you've managed to stay together and even stay as sane as you are." said Leda as Leila placed a plate of food in front of her and another in front of Greg.
"Who said anything about us being sane? Right baby?" asked Leila, her arms around his shoulders as she stood behind him.
"Exactly. We're probably two of the least sane people you'll find." said Greg, giving his wife a quick kiss.
"I stand corrected." said Leda before turning her attention to her food in front of her.
"Hey Greg, can you believe that for the few weeks that Leda and Nick have been together, he had never kissed her?" asked Leila as she walked back into the kitchen.
"Really? Well, I guess we'll have to do something about that." said Greg.
"Why do I feel a setup coming?" asked Leda as she watched her cousin dig out a large pot and a metal spoon. "What're you going to do with those?"
"You'll see, or hear rather." said Leila, grinning mischievously as she headed for Leda's room.
A few short minutes later, they heard banging of metal against metal followed by Nick yelling before Leila come running out of the room as fast as she could, setting the pot and spoon on the counter. She couldn't stop herself from laughing so hard and apparently neither could Greg or Leda. Nick came walking out of the room a few seconds later.
"I swear Leila, I'm not gonna be able to hear properly for the next week thanks to you." he said, messing with ears to try and clear them.
"Sorry, I had to get you up somehow." said Leila.
"You could have found a nicer way to do it without making all that noice." said Nick as he sat down next to Leda. "And you could've have tried to stop her, she's your wife." he added, looking at Greg.
"Yeah, right. You know I can't stop her from doing anything if I try." said Greg.
"Stop your whining Nicky. Here, I made breakfast and I even thought of you even though I had to get your ass up." said Leila, setting a plate in front of him.
"Thanks, I guess. Least you were kind enough to think to feed me." said Nick.
"Your welcome." said Leila, grabbing her plate and sitting down next to Greg.
The four of them spent the rest of the time eating their breakfast and swapping old stories for Leda's amusement.
