I Do Not Own CSI, if I did GSR would have been canon a long time ago
Walking out of there appointment with the doctor the two were ecstatic. They had found out the sex of all of there babies. They had thankfully all decided to look at the camera and smile to the world and let everyone take a peek between there legs. Sara was as healthy as could be. Her blood pressure was good and her weight was right on track. All three babies' heart beats were good and well in range of what they should be.
Helping Sara in the car Gil couldn't help but smile at Sara and touch her belly, seeing if he could feel a flutter
"Must be sleeping" She said putting her hand on top of his and smiling back. 'I got just what I wanted' Sara thought 'not that I wouldn't have loved these babies either way, but this is perfect'
"Let's go home and relax" She said to him as he was still rubbing her stomach
"Sounds good, I think we should pick up Hank on the way though"
"Yeah, I miss him. I know we have only been gone away for a day but I hate using the sitter's for full days and nights"
"Me too" Gil replied starting the car and making there way towards the sitters
"Thank you Marlene for watching him for the night" Gil said to the sitter as Sara crouched down to give Hank a good rub
"Happy birthday Sara, I hope you guys had a fabulous night"
"Thank you Marlene and we did have a wonderful night, dinner and dancing plus a back massage. I was in heaven"
"Sounds like it. I remember being pregnant with my boys, a massage did me wonder's. Do you know what you're having yet?" She asked
"We actually found out just before we came over" Gil said grabbing Hank's leash
"And?"
"Sorry Marlene you're going to have to wait just like all of our friends and family"
"But who am I going to tell" she said innocently
"I promise you Marlene as soon as the babies are born you will know. I'll make Gil call you personally deal?"
"Deal, but you know the suspense is going to kill me, how am I supposed to know what too buy for them?"
"You don't have to get anything for them, but if you must yellow and green are neutral colors for both sexes so you can play it safe with those" Sara said walking back to the car. Hank was already in the back seat and Gil was waiting at the passenger side door ready to open her door.
"Bye Marlene, thank you for baby sitting Hank" Sara called over her shoulder and getting into the car
"Yes thanks Marlene" Gil said hopping into the driver's side door
"Anytime, and keep me updated you two" She waved back
Ten minutes later they were pulling into the driveway. Gil got out and grabbed there bags from the night before while Sara got Hank's leash and pulled the dog out of the car. Walking inside the house they were met with silence for the first time in a few months.
Sara saw the note on the counter, it read
'The Grissoms,
We finally finished the last touches on your new rooms; all that's left to do is paining and decorating as you wish. Thanks for your kindness while we remodelled part of your house. Sara your kind generosity in bringing us food and drinks throughout the day was wonderful and very thoughtful. You two have been by far one of my best customers in a very long time. Attached to the back is your bill for the remodel. I hope that if you ever need anything else in your lovely home extended or patched up you will call me, I will be happy to help.
Gary
Sara flipped over the note to take a look at the bill and gasped
"Gil come look at this" She said holding out the note and bill. Gil read the note and smiled and flipped the paper over. His mouth dropped open. Gary had given them a very hefty discount. At the bottom of the bill Gary had wrote 'consider it a baby or should I say babies gift'
"We are going to have to call him and thank him for all his hard work Gil. I wasn't expecting a discount like that" Sara said still stunned
"Me either. I think I am going to call him now, and thank him."
"Let's go take a look at the rooms first" Sara called over her shoulder and walking into there new office on the main floor
Opening the door she smiled at what she saw. The office was a lot larger then there last one. The walls were tall enough for high bookshelves and two desks, with lots of room in between.
"What are you thinking" Gil asked coming up behind her to take a look
"That I am going to have some fun designing this room with the art students"
"I called Professor Marks and she said that she and her top eight students could meet with us anytime. School just started and it's her third year art students that are going to be doing the designing. She said that she wants us to treat her students like we were really hiring them to decorate. She wants us to state our wants and opinions and make sure that they hear them. She will also be meeting with us on the side to go over what we really want so that she knows the direction we want to take"
"When does she want to meet?" Sara said making her way upstairs to go look in the new baby room
"Anytime. I guess I could call her today as well and set up a meeting. WOW!" Gil said coming to stand in the room beside her in the room.
The room was spacious just like the other two. It had a big closet and a large window was in the far wall"
"These rooms are going to be great for the babies" he said grabbing her hand
"I can't wait until there finished" she said squeezing back
"Let's go call Gary" he said going and grabbing the portable phone
"Hi this is Gil Grissom, I was wondering if I could talk to Gary"
"Yes the owner Gary" he said to the receptionist
"Gil put it on speaker, please"
"Gary here"
"Hi Gary its Gil and Sara Grissom"
"The Grissom's, how do you like the rooms?"
"There perfect Gary, you did a wonderful job" Sara said aloud
"I'm glad you like it Sara, me and the guys put in our best work"
"And it shows Gary. The rooms look fantastic. But you didn't need to throw on a discount" Gil added
"That was my pleasure Gil. Your wife was wonderful when me and the guys were around. She always brought us drinks and sandwiches when she was around and she didn't mind answering the guy's questions about being a CSI and what you see and what your funniest cases were. Let me tell you Gil, Sara told us a great story about a boxer at a cat house. Had the guys and me laughing for the rest of the day.
And when she told us she was carrying triplets we were all shocked. You have a hell of a woman there Gil."
"I know, she keeps me entertained" he said smirking at Sara
"Thank you Gary, you guys were all gentleman around me and you making sure I was alright after a bought of morning sickness. The drinks and sandwiches were the least I could do for you"
"My wife was pregnant once too Sara and I remember her morning sickness quite well. Checking up on you was just the gentleman coming out in me"
"Well I thank you. As soon as these babies are born we'll invite you over for dinner so you can see the final product of both the rooms and the babies" She said over the phone
"I am going to hold you to that. Anyways I hate to cut this short but I have to take another call about a job. Give me a call when there born. I know the guys had some bets going"
"We will. Thanks again Gary" Said Gil hanging up
"I never knew they checked up on you when you got sick"
"Yeah. The first time it happened Gary knocked on the door with a glass of water and a smile, just to make sure I was ok. When it happened more often a lot of the guys took turns. It was actually very nice of them to do"
"It was. I can see why that thought so highly of you.
Do you want me to call the professor now?"
"Might as well. See if we can set up a meeting sometime soon"
"Ok I'm going to go get her number, I'll be back in a few minutes after I talked to her" Gil replied back while walking into the living room. Meanwhile Sara went to stand by the window in the new baby room, imaging what it's going to look like when it's all finished and the babies all occupy the rooms.
Breaking her train of thought Gil came back into the room
"Professor Marks said she could meet with us today in an hour if you want"
"Really?"
"Yeah. She wants to meet with us first before she tells her students"
"Well before we go do you have any ideas for the rooms?"
"Can we have a bug theme in them? They don't have to be spiders or anything, but bugs would be nice. And I think soft colors so. I don't really want to see anything in here that is going to pop out at me at 4 in the morning"
"I agree with you there. I don't want the walls white but soft colors would be nice. Pale yellows, greens and purples. And I love the idea of bugs. So long as there are no cockroaches. I draw the line at the creepy ones. Centipedes and those ones with creepy legs will not be in here ok"
"Got it. Do you have a color of crib and furniture we should include, so that they know what to expect from us?"
"I always like cherry wood. That color of wood was always my favourite"
"I can't complain with that. Now should we go? By the time we get to UNLV and done with our meeting it will be dinnertime. We could catch a couple hours of sleep and then to work" Gil said leading her downstairs and back out to the car
"Gil, Sara, how nice to see you again" Professor Marks exclaimed to the couple entering her classroom. The woman who was in her early sixties had a very perky personality. There was never a dull moment when she was around
"You to Professor Marks" Sara said shaking her hand
"How many times have I told you, call me Helen" she replied shaking her hand I return
"Congratulations by the way you two. I am so happy for you; triplets are going to be an experience you will never forget"
"Thank you Helen. Were looking forward to it" Gil said pulling out Sara's chair, always the gentleman
"So you want us to decorate the babies' room?"
"Yes, that and our new office on the main floor. The house has changed somewhat since your students came in the first time. We just expanded the old office upstairs to make another baby room. We also put an addition downstairs to make our new office, we would also like that done as well if you're students are up for it" Gil asked
"I am sure my students will be thrilled to do it. We can do it the same way as last time right, you will pay for the supplies needed and the stuff you want included in your rooms and that's it. My students will not be paid. They are doing this for marks not money. It will look very good on there resumes to have a job of this calibre included."
"That sounds good. I'm not complaining" Sara stated
"I would do it, but because if paint fumes and lifting I can't. And Gil is busy with work a lot so if I left it up to him it would never get done" Sara laughed the last part out
"The sad thing is that's true. I don't have the time at the moment to do all the work and I really don't have an artistic flair for details like Sara does. We want the rooms to look good and comfortable for everyone, that is why were leaving the job in you're capable hands Helen" Gil finished
"Well I'm flattered. So is there anything or any themes you want running in the rooms"
"Well I want soft colors, nothing to bright. And Gil would like a bug theme running throughout the rooms. No ugly bugs though. Friendly ones like grasshoppers, dragon flies you know, ones that won't creep the hell out of you"
"I understand Sara. No creepy crawlies in the room. Do you have any furniture picked out yet?"
"Not yet, although we both like dark cherry wood colors"
"Well I will keep that in mind. Do you mind if we pick out the furniture?"
"I don't mind as long as I get a say in what the furniture looks like"
"I wouldn't have it any other way Sara. I know that you wouldn't buy something you don't like, I know I wouldn't. I promise you that even though my students will have control over the decorating, you and I will have the veto power. If something is wrong or you don't like it, it will not happen"
"We trust you Helen. We trusted you to redecorate the home when we couldn't and it turned out beautifully, I'm sure these rooms will be the same." Gil said
"Well that's settled. Oh one more question, do you know what you're having so we can help with the coordination of the babies rooms"
"We do" said Sara
"Well that was fun" stated Sara walking out of the building holding Gil's hand
"It was. Helen is a great teacher and this is a great opportunity for her students."
"I'm hungry" Sara simply stated
"Well what do you want to eat? Do you want to grab something on the way or do we want to make something at home?"
"I really want Chinese. You think we can stop at the place just past the strip. I know it's out of the way but if we go in and eat we can just go to the lab after were done and I can help you with paperwork for a while"
"Wow you really want Chinese. I have never heard you volunteer your help for paperwork" Gil said turning to go to Mai King
"What can I say; pregnancy is making me turn a new leaf"
"OK guys, time to work" Said Grissom coming into the break room
"Where's Sara?" asked Greg
"She's working with Hodges in trace"
"Is that a smart idea Gil after last time" Catherine asked
"I don't think David is going to make the same mistake again Catherine. If he does he knows Sara has free rein to shove an apple in his mouth and roast him" Gil chuckled out while the guys all laughed
"So what's on the docket tonight Griss? Asked Nick
"Well I am going to finish your evaluations so I will be here. You guys can pick what you want though. I have a dumpster dive, a B&E and a car jacking."
"I call the B&E" said Catherine
"Warrick, want to tag along"
"I'm in let's go"
"I'll take the car jacking" said Nick grabbing the slip
"Damn, that leaves me with the dumpster dive."
"Tough luck Greg. Now go to work. If you finish early I have cold cases for you to do"
Gil said to his leaving team. All he got response was waves over there shoulders
Halfway through shift Gil got a call from Brass
"Hey Jim what do you got?"
"A DB at the dominion"
"What, I thought that place closed down when Heather sold it"
"Well apparently she sold shares of it; she never gave up the control of it. Anyways the victim is a 26 years old female. Looks like strangulation but that's just my opinion I will leave that up to Doc.
Look I know you don't want to come here but everyone else is out on calls and there's no one else available"
"It's ok Jim; just let me talk to Sara first ok"
"Good luck with that Gil, I'll see you soon"
"Bye Jim" Gil replied while taking a deep breath and paging Sara to come into his office
"Hey, what's up?" Sara asked coming into his office
"I got a call out"
"And you're paging me to come into you're office to tell me"
"It's at the dominion" He blurted
"But I thought that place was closed"
"Me too. Jim told me Heather just sold a bunch of shares in the company she never gave up full control. I'll know more once I get there. Anyways there's a female victim there, Jim said it looks like strangulation"
"Go then. I will be ok here. Just call me ok" she said not liking the idea of Gil going back out there. 'I know he would never cheat, I trust him. It's Heather I don't trust'
"Don't worry Sara" Gil said almost reading her mind
"It's not going to be like last time, I promise. I don't even want this call but there's no one else to do it at the moment. I'll get in and get out. I haven't even talked to Heather since she got visitation with her granddaughter."
"Ok, just be careful ok"
"Always" he said giving her a peck on the lips before opening his office door and going out to the car
'I have a bad feeling about this' she thought
A couple hours later Sara was still working quietly in trace with Hodges for once. No questions and no small talk, just comfortable silence until Sara's phone rang
"Grissom"
"Sara" said Brass on the other end of the line a little panicky
"Jim what's wrong? And don't lie I can hear it in your voice"
"Where are you?"
"In trace working with Hodges; why?"
"I need you to come to the hospital ok"
"Brass what happened?"
"It's not life threatening but Gil was shot at the dominion"
When Sara heard that she dropped the phone. You could hear Jim shouting for her on the other end of the line. Finally David picked up the phone and talked to Jim
"Brass what's going on? You just put Sara in shock"
"I need you to drive her to the hospital Hodges. Gil was shot at a crime scene about an hour ago. He's still in the ER at the moment and the doctors won't tell me much. Just get Sara here ok"
"We'll be there in no time" Hodges replied while closing the phone
"Sara" David said trying to get her attention and snapping her out of her trance of staring at the wall
"I'm going to drive you to the hospital ok. Come on lets go get your jacket and I will get you there as fast as I can" He said taking her arm and guiding her gently to the locker room.
Sara never said a word the whole way to the hospital. Just staring out of the window and rubbing her stomach. As soon as they were parked she was out of the car and walking as fast as she could into the ER looking for Jim. Hodges was right behind her the whole time
"Jim where is he?" was the first thing that came out of her mouth when she saw him.
"He's still in the exam room at the moment but I think there moving him up to surgery"
"Surgery?"
"Gil got shot in the shoulder Sara. It went through but the doc told me it may have done a little damage. Nothing that surgery won't fix"
"Can I see him?" she said pleading into his eyes.
"Let's go see if we can find his doctor. Look that's him, there coming out of the room right now"
"Gil" Sara called coming up towards him and seeing his eyes open a crack
"Mam, I'm going to have to ask you to step away" The nurse said
"Nurse Magee" said Jim looking at her nametag
"This is your patient's wife. His very pregnant wife. I would suggest you move aside so she can see her husband" Brass said coldly
"Let her through Marge" said the doctor
"I want to talk to her as well before we move the patient upstairs"
"Hey baby" Sara said coming up and grabbing his hand which Gil squeezed back softly
"Hi" he said roughly back. Trying to ignore the pain while Sara just ran her hands through his hair and across his forehead
"Mrs. Grissom" said the doctor
"Sara, please call me Sara"
"Ok Sara. Your husband was shot through the shoulder. Were going to take him upstairs to surgery to fix any damage that the bullet may have caused. He will be fine. A little sore for a while but we should be able to give him something for the pain. But what I need to know is if he is on any medications or allergic to anything"
"No he's perfectly healthy. No meds and no allergies" She said with tears in her eyes watching as Gil zoned out and closed his eyes to numb the pain.
"Can you give him anything for the pain now?"
"Were putting him into surgery in a few minutes. He will be out like a light very soon. We don't want to give him anything before he goes into surgery.
Do you have any questions before we take him up?"
"Will he be alright? His arm and shoulder will it have full use after you're done"
"He should. It doesn't look like the bullet caused too much damage. But like I said he is going to be very sore for a while. If that's all I would really like to move him upstairs now" The doctor said motioning for the nurses to come back and take him up.
"I love you Gil" Sara whispered into his ear and kissed him lightly on the lips. He just squeezed her hand back and let go as the nurses came to take him away. Turning around she fixed her gaze on Brass.
"Let's go upstairs and you can tell me why the hell my husband has a bullet hole in his shoulder" She said making her way to the elevator, with Brass and David following behind. Once the three were seated upstairs in the waiting room Brass started his story.
"Hey Gil" Said Brass coming over to him
"Jim. So what do we have?"
Walking into the dominion they went upstairs to one of the rooms
"Victim was identified by Heather as Monica Steed. Was a submissive tonight to a Warren Jeffs. He's still in the wind right now. We got eyes out all over for this guy" He said crouching down beside the body as Gil took a closer look
"I'm going to go outside and see if anyone knows anything yet ok"
"Sure"
"I got this part out of Heather" said Brass
"Grissom" Heather said coming into the room
"Heather" he replied
"How are you?" he asked
"Good" she replied simply
"The girl worked for you?"
"She did. She was a great dominatrix as well as submissive. I don't know how this happened"
"Well it looks like she was strangled but I'll have to leave cause of death up to doc. He will be…" Gil was interrupted as the suspect came out of the closet pointing a gun
Gil stood up right away and Heather took a step back.
"Mr. Jeffs I presume" said Gil
"One and only." He said aiming the gun at Heather
"You want to put the gun down Mr. Jeffs"
"Not really. I really want to kill her right now" He stated simply
"That wouldn't be wise Mr. Jeffs. There are a lot of cops outside. As soon as they hear a gunshot they will all be in here and you will be arrested" Gil calmly stated back
"I really don't care. That bitch behind you has screwed me financially. She took my shares and left me with nothing. I am a broke man and thanks to her I have no life anymore. The woman on the floor was just collateral damage." He said taking the safety off the gun and getting ready to shoot.
"The rest happened in a bit of a flurry. I guess Mr. Jeffs decided to shoot at heather and Gil pushed her out of the way and ended up taking the shot in the shoulder. Luckily I was just out in the hallway and heard the shot. I came in and saw Gil on the ground and Mr. Jeffs pointing the gun at Heather. I warned him three times to put it down and just as he was about to shoot I shot him. I believe he is in surgery at the moment as well" Brass said finishing his story. Just then the rest of the team came bursting through the doors all asking if Grissom was ok
"He's going to be ok." Sara said trying to convince herself
"You ok Sara?" Greg asked timidly
"No I am not ok. I am pregnant with triplets and my husband just got shot protecting a woman who has caused more trouble then not." Sara said ranting, standing and turning towards the window.
Just as Sara was claming down with Catherine by her side whispering that everyone is ok, and that Gil would be fine the last person they wanted to see came walking into the waiting room.
"Heather" Sara whispered looking up. Everyone was stunned to see the woman there.
Heather sat down and quietly and asked Jim if Gil was alright. Sara read her lips and straightened up and walked over to her, her anger rising at the woman. Standing directly in front of her she motioned for her to stand. Face to Face, Sara looked her in the eye while placing her left hand on her stomach so that Heather could see her wedding ring Gil had given her
"This is the last time you come into our lives" Sara stated eerily low, trying to keep her anger at the woman at bay
"You have done nothing but cause trouble anytime Gil had tried to help you. You have had how many murders in your dominion, and every time Gil will come and help you because he considers you a friend. The last time he helped you it was to save your life and give you a connection with your grand daughter. He never came home that night. He stayed with you to make sure you wouldn't off yourself. I understood the reason he stayed. How could someone walk away from a person who might commit suicide.
You know I was pissed at him for days until he explained the reason he was with you. Once he told me I felt sorry for you. You had lost your daughter and had lost your grand daughter. But Gil got that back for you.
But now I know what you really are. A user. You have taken advantage of him time and time again. He has got you out of murder wraps only to be scrutinized by the people he works with. They all thought he slept with you, but he never did, he was just being the gentleman his mother taught him to be.
He saved your life in the hospital when you were attacked. And what did you do? You tried to commit suicide again.
He convinced your ex to give you visitation with your grand daughter and what do you do. You jump back into your previous business and screw as many people as you can. Not only financially but probably physically to. Not only do I disagree with your business I despise it. You demote women in a horrible way and encourage men to abuse them. You do nothing but encourage the cycle of violence. There is a difference between having a little fun with your partner and tying the other up or blindfolding them, but when you start hitting and beating someone just to get in the mood. I have a problem with that.
And lastly my husband who has three babies on the way took a bullet in his shoulder that was meant for you. He saved you again. So this is it Heather. I want you out of our lives. He has done nothing but try and help you and all you have done is shove it back in his face. So right now I want you out of this room and our lives. If there is ever another case that involves you, MY" Sara stated clearly
"Husband or this team for that matter will not be there to bail you out. You are now on your own. So take your sympathy, pity whatever you are giving and leave and never turn back. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR"
"Tell Grissom thank you for saving my life. You will not hear from me again" Heather said turning and entering the elevator
"Cookie" Brass said to her. Sara was standing with her head held high.
"I'm ok Jim. That actually felt really good to do"
"Come on, sit down. The doctor should be out soon" He said motioning for Greg to move so she could sit
"Here Sara take my spot" Greg said moving
"Thanks Greg"
"Sara that was totally awesome what you said to Heather" Cath said coming to squat in front of her
"I think I let my temper get the best of me"
"Maybe but she needed to be set straight. You did that Sara. You managed to stare down the big dominatrix. You made her leave. You should feel proud"
"I do, I just don't like loosing my temper like that"
"Everyone has a button that when pressed we all loose our cool Sara" Said Warrick joining in the conversation.
"He's right. We all have our vices Sara. Lady Heather is your's and that's understandable" Nick added in
"I have never seen her bow out of a confrontation like that before" Said Brass, proud of Sara for telling it like it is
"You did good cookie, and hopefully we will never have to see her again" Jim added
"Thank you Jim" Sara yawned out tired
"Mrs. Grissom" The doctor called
"That's me" She said standing up. The doctor made his way over to her
"Please sit. You look like you need to" He said motioning to the chair
"You're husband came out of surgery great. We didn't need to repair much. He is going to be a little sore for the next couple of weeks while he heals but should be as good as new in about 6-8 weeks."
"Is he going to have full function of his arm"
"He will. The nerve damage was minimal and what was damaged we repaired. He is going to be in a bit of pain for a while but we will give him something for it. He can go home tomorrow as long as everything looks good" The doctor said smiling at her
"Thank you doctor. Can I go see him?"
"He was just moved into recovery, he will probably be pretty groggy when he wakes up"
"That's ok, I just need to see him"
"I can take you back, just give me a minute to drop this off at the desk ok"
"Sure" she smiled back for the first time since entering the hospital
Five minutes later she was being led back to groggy Grissom. He was just starting to open his eyes when she walked into the room, she sat down and grabbed his hand
"Hey" She croaked out, trying to hold back tears. But Gil could already hear it in her voice that she was trying not to cry
"Don't cry, I can't wipe away your tears" He said focusing a little better on her face
"Always thinking about me even when you're the one in the hospital bed"
"You're always going to be on my mind Sara"
"Are you ok?" She asked
"I'm a little sore, being shot sucks. But the pain meds should start kicking in soon. The nurse left just before you came in"
"Just rest. We'll talk about taking bullets later ok"
A groan was all she got in response.
Sara was sent home by Gil when he woke up and found her still there. Nick took her home and spent the night just to make sure she was ok. Everyone else trickled home after seeing Sara leave. That is everyone but Brass. He stayed with Gil all night under Sara's orders.
When Gil woke up a few hours later to find Jim reading the newspaper beside him he started a conversation.
"Thanks Jim"
"For what?"
"For taking care of Sara when she was here, for getting me to the hospital, for staying the night. Do I need to continue?"
"No you don't. And by the way Sara can take care of herself. The team and I witnessed that last night when Heather came by the hospital asking if you were ok"
"What happened?"
"She took Lady H down a couple notches. In the end told her to stay away or else she was going to face the wrath of Sara"
"I wish I could have seen that"
"I wish I had a camera to get it on tape. I have never seen that look on Heather's face before. It was one of shock and sadness. Shock at what Sara was saying to her and sadness at the fact that she was finally being told to stay away for good from all of us"
"Are you talking about me Jim" Sara said coming into the hospital room
"Guilty. I was just telling Gil about you and lady H in the hall last night"
"Sorry Babe but it had to be said"
"That's ok. Hey how did you get here?"
"Nick. He's out parking the car as we speak" She said coming closer to give him a kiss while he rubbed her belly, feeling a little flutter
"Looks like someone is happy to see you" She said standing and smiling
"Are they moving Sara?" asked Jim
"Just fluttering. It feels kind of funny actually"
"Can I" Jim said reaching out
"If I can trade spots with you" she asked motioning for the chair
"Fair enough" He said moving so that she could sit. As soon as she did she took Jim's hand and placed it to the side of her stomach. Jim smiled as he felt a tiny flutter under his hand
"Hey what's going on in here" asked Nick coming into the room
"Is Jim harassing you Sara, because I can take him out if you need me too"
"No Nick he's just feeling the one of the babies move"
"Oh I want to feel, move out of the way Jim" said Nick putting his hand on her stomach
"This is kind of funny from my point of view. I have two other men touching my wife" Gil said smiling
"Funny Gil" Said Sara smirking back at him
"So do any of you know when I can get out of here?"
"Today most likely. The doctor said that as long as everything checked out you could come home. So I think all you're waiting on is him"
"Good, because if it wasn't for the drugs in my system I would have never slept. These beds are very uncomfortable. I would much rather be in my own bed, preferably with my wife next to me"
"To much info Griss" Nick said while laughing at him
"Nicky how do you think I got pregnant. We do have sex"
"I know that Sara but I don't want to hear about it. I would much rather think of you two not doing anything explicit"
Snorts of laughter could be heard throughout the room for the next half hour. When the doctor came in they were still laughing.
"Well that sound is always good to hear in the recovery room" Said the doctor
"It helps" replied Gil
"So doc when can I get out of here"
"Hopefully in the next hour, but I want to check your wound first. Can you sit up and pull down half your gown."
"Good Gil, everything looks nice and clean and the incision is holding. I want you to wear a sling for the next few weeks and then I want you to go have a check up with your doctor ok." Gil nodded
"Keep the wound dry. I would suggest baths for the next while. You will probably need some help as well"
"I got that covered doc. I fractured my arm in two places a year and a half ago. Gil had to do the same thing for me"
"Just be careful Sara. Don't put to much pressure on you're back or the baby ok"
"Babies doc, three to be exact"
"Well then just be careful ok. Same goes for you to Gil. Take it easy and no work for a least a week. I am going to give you a prescription for anti biotics that I want you to take every day for the next two weeks. I also have a prescription for painkillers. Do not exceed the daily dose and only take them when you have to. Do you have any questions?"
"No I think were good"
"Alright then I'll go get your discharge papers and you can get changed"
"Alright boys out, I have to help get him changed" Ordered Sara to Jim and Nick
"We don't have to be told twice" Nick said leaving the room with Jim right behind him
"Ok I brought you a button up so we can manoeuvre it a bit around your arm ok" She said helping him dress.
"Sara" he said stopping her
"I'm really sorry. I never meant to get shot, I just wanted everyone safe"
"I know you did. Just don't do it again ok. I kind of need you around"
"Yeah"
"Of course I do. Well at least until I'm out of teenage years with these three"
"Thank you Sara"
"For what"
"Loving me, marrying me, having our babies. Just thank you for putting up with everything that comes along with me" He said looking down
"Hey" she said making him look up
"We all have baggage Gil. You know mine and I know yours and that hasn't stopped me from loving you and it never will ok"
"Ok"
"Now let's get you dressed and home so we can go to bed and sleep ok"
"Home, I can't wait"
Chapter 21 is done, woo hoo
I wanted to have a chapter with a little more drama in it along with Lady H.
Don't hate me lady heather lovers. I actually don't mind the character but I wanted her to be taken down a notch or two. And Sara doing it was the icing on the cake.
Hoped everyone enjoyed
I don't think I will be able to post tommorrow. I have a going away party to go to for a good friend of mine.
Please keep reading and reviewing
