Eddie Willows both gained and lost his freedom on the same day; his divorce was finalized in the morning and his sentencing was pronounced that afternoon. Catherine was not there to see his reaction to either.

She and Lindsey had officially moved in with Gil by the time Eddie was unloaded from the prison bus. That night, after Lindsey was asleep in her bed, Gil put soft music on the stereo, poured champagne and asked her to be his wife. They were married three weeks later with Jim as their witness. Lindsey's paternity test came back a week after the wedding and proved that LIndsey was indeed his child. Within a few days, she too was officially a Grissom.

Nine months, two weeks, and three days later Gil held Catherine's hand as she delivered their son, Gilbert James Grissom. Gil thought Catherine had never looked more beautiful than that night in the delivery room.

Catherine continued to drive him insane with desire and a little over a year after that, their second son was born. They named him John Joseph after his paternal grandfather. Grandmother Grissom was present for the birth and couldn't have been more proud.

She began dropping hints to her son that three babies in such a short amount of time was too hard on his bride. He considered what she said and discussed it with his wife. Sixteen months later, about nine months after Catherine had accompanied him on a recruiting trip that included Texas A& M, another daughter was born, Caitlyn Marie.

During that time changes were being made at the lab also. Catherine had decided to move back into a tech position so that her schedule at least would always be predictable. Gil remained in his position on the graveyard shift. He was actively recruiting as the department expanded and found a new protégé at the local university. Warrick Brown joined the team the day after Catherine found out that she was pregnant with Caitlyn. Besides their fourth child, the A & M trip produced another addition to their lives. Nick Stokes joined the team along with Brown. Catherine noticed that Gil was more excited about his job as he had not one, but two new pupils.

He's a natural teacher, she thought one night as she looked for him to share 'lunch.' Gil was in the layout room with his two rookies, explaining some aspect of the current case. The two young men had watched and listened with enthusiasm, their attention never wavering. Catherine smiled as she took in the scene and remembered her first days as Gil Grissom's student.

One day when Caitlyn was almost three months old, Gil came home to find four cranky children and an exhausted wife. Taking in the scene, he made a rare instant decision. "Honey," he said as they settled into bed that night. "I've been invited to a forensics seminar in San Francisco in a couple of months. We've been talking about hiring a nanny, let's do it and then you can go with me to the seminar. We could make a little vacation out of it…you know, a Gil and Catherine vacation."

"Oh Gil," she beamed. "That would be fantastic. But I don't want to leave the kids with a stranger."

"We could hire the nanny and then have your mother stay too. That way she would be here to watch out for the kids but the nanny would do most of the work. It wouldn't wear your mom out. Please honey, you need a break. And I need some time alone with you."

Catherine looked at her husband with an impish grin. "The last time you had time alone with me was the recruiting trip. That's how we got Caitlyn, remember? And the time before that was when Nancy insisted on taking the kids for a weekend and we spent it at that inn out at Lake Meade. John was the product of that weekend."

Gil grinning sheepishly. "I can't help it if I find you irresistible. And you were wearing that strip of cloth that you called a bikini. What did you expect? You know what you do to me…and….and you just made it worse when you wore that thing."

Catherine giggled as she remembered his reaction to her attire. "As I recall, I didn't get to wear it for long."

Her giggle was muffled by his mouth covering hers in a sudden kiss that left little question of his intentions for the night. She felt his heat intensify as his kiss deepened and also felt her own response to him. She loved the feel of him next to her, his hands all over her, his lips nibbling her. Her own hands sought him, needing to touch his skin, feel his heat, and pull him closer.

"Say you'll come with me," he said in a lust filled, hoarse voice.

"But Gil…" she managed to whisper through her quickened breaths.

"Say you will…" he insisted as his lips travelled to her breast.

"But …the kids…."

"You are coming with me…" he taunted as his tongue gently teased her nipple, barely touching it as he flicked her hardness.

"You…don't…play fair," she gasped.

"Oh, but you like the way I play. And I want to play in San Francisco." His tongue was circling her now and his lips closed in on her, sucking and pulling.

"But…" His hand cupped her through her panties and he squeezed, sending a thrill up her spine and through her body. "Oh…geez Gil…you so don't play fair," she moaned as she gripped him in a wave of desire.

"You'll love it in San Francisco, Cath. I promise…"

"It's a pretty city? I've never been there."

"I think you'll enjoy it…" he told her as his fingers began to tease her soaking slit. "What little you'll see of it anyway…"

"See? Why little?" she managed to say through her lusty haze.

He pulled her panties off and stood on his knees above her, gazing down at her. "God Catherine, you are so beautiful. You know what you do to me, don't you?"

"I have a pretty good idea," she snickered as she gazed at his bulging crotch. "Better get out of those pants while you still can…"

He slid out of his clothes and stretched out next to her, his hands caressing the length of her body.

"Why will I see so little of the city?" she asked.

"I intend to keep you busy in the hotel room," he said as he moved to tease her slit again, this time with his tongue. She sucked in air as his hot tongue came into contact with her nub and he began to circle it. Then he made his way through her folds, gently licking and sucking as he went.

Catherine gasped again and grabbed the sheets, writhing in pleasure and desire at his touch. "Now Gil…"

"What?" he looked up in surprise. Usually she liked him to take it slow, especially so soon after the birth of a child.

"I want you now. Thinking about you is what kept me sane all day…I've thought of nothing else but the feel of you inside…NOW Gil."

His entry was easy because she was soaking wet. Her box was so hot that his cock throbbed the minute it was in. He remained still for a minute to let his rod adjust and then slowly he began to stroke. He closed his eyes as he thrilled in the sensation of her walls surrounding him, massaging his cock as it travelled deeper. Her hips thrust up towards him, offering better access and more teasing. After a few strokes, he paused deep inside and opened his eyes to gaze into hers. Their eyes remained locked for a few strokes, fueling more and more desire until he thought he would explode.

He paused again, taking a deep breath. "Smell that Catherine…smell us?" The combination of scents from their arousal filled the room, making his head spin with hunger. He knew that in just a few minutes, the aroma would become heavier as the smell of their climaxes would permeate the air. "I love that smell, baby. I love the scent of us together."

"Mmmm," she agreed. "Taste…the taste of you…kiss me …"

Gil eased himself toward her face, their lips joining and then their tongues dancing, imitating the motion of his cock, thrusting and licking. His strokes into her became more vigorous as they climbed the heights of ecstasy until together they climaxed in a magnificent release, their bodies responding to the other's pleasure and slowly coming back to earth in fits of renewed pleasure until they collapsed with exhaustion and satisfaction. Their perfect moment ended too quickly, however, when the mood shattering whimper of their youngest child was heard on the baby monitor. Catherine chuckled at Gil when he collapsed on the bed in a grunt and a moan. She started to get up when his hand shot out to stop her. "Stay," he whispered. "I'll go see about her." He pulled on his boxers and a t-shirt and then leaning back to her, gently kissed her before padding off to take care of the latest addition to the Grissom family.
