Month 2
Gil: Now she wants ice cream and bananas. Yesterday it was meat – any kind of meat. Gawd she's a vegetarian and she wanted meat. So I went out at 3:30am and got her a hamburger, which she devoured within moments. Then she ordered me to get her an ice cream sundae. 8 more months of this… I don't know how much I can take.
"Gil can you take me to the doctors" Sara said coming into Grissom's home office where he was writing something.
"Sara can you give me 5 minutes to finish my thoughts on paper – I am in the middle of something.
"The doctor doesn't want to be kept waiting" Sara told him, her hands on her hips.
"When's the appointment"
"Three o'clock"
"Sara it's two o'clock now, you have time to wait. I need to finish my thoughts"
Sara stormed out of the room. "Don't bother Gil Grissom, I'll call a cab" she said.
Gil sighed. It was going to be a very long 8 months.
Gil stopped Sara from calling a cab, and drove her himself. They were very quiet in the car.
"Samantha was lashing out again over me spending too much time in the bathroom" Sara began.
"I'll talk to her and explain that you can't wait while she spends 2 hours fixing her hair " Gil said in a monotone.
Sara said nothing.
"I got a call from the dean of UNLV yesterday Gil. When you were out on that bug infested case" Sara began.
"About Samantha I take it?"
"She's been neglecting most of her classes and spending a lot of time with one of her teachers" Sara said.
"That doesn't sound too good. Which teacher?"
"Hannah West"
Grissom slammed on his brakes causing Sara to shift forward. "WHAT!"
"Gil! You can't just do that! You're going to cause an accident" Sara told him as she watched a vehicle behind them swerve and then as it passed them the driver gave them the finger.
"I'll drop you at the doctors office then I'm going to pull my daughter out of UNLV. This is not a good thing. Any involvement with Hannah West is not a good thing."
"I'll call you when I'm ready to be picked up" Sara said as she got out of the car.
"Ok" Grissom said and he sped off.
Meanwhile at the lab.
Nick: Catherine has been overly hormonal during the last few days. I wish she'd just calm down. Maybe she's worried about her job or the baby or whatever but I certainly don't deserve to be yelled at.
Nick, as he sat in the break room with Greg noticed Catherine storming down the hall. He also saw Hodges standing in the doorway of DNA as if hesitating. Nick smiled. The lab tech had it bad for Wendy but was too insecure or something to even ask her out for supper. He had stuck his foot in his mouth so many times around Wendy which made the insecurities even worse. Hodges had confided in Nick one day after work, at Franks. They went for a beer one day after shift when the lab tech had come to Nick for woman advice.
Hormones raging, Catherine spared no discretion. "Hodges, for the love of God almighty just ask Wendy out on a date, don't stand here drooling, you're getting your spittle all over the floor."
Embarrassed, Hodges turned on his heel and made a break for his own lab where he buried himself in his work.
Nick, Greg and Warrick, although they weren't exactly the best of friends with the lab rat felt very bad for him. There was absolutely no need for embarrassing him the way she did.
"I'll go talk to Hodges" Nick said.
"I'll go talk to Catherine, she needs to be brought down a peg or two" Warrick said.
"I'll go see if Wendy needs anything" Greg said making an excuse to chat with the pretty DNA tech.
David Hodges
Did she have to make me feel like such an idiot? God now I'll never be able to look Wendy in the eye again. Why did she blurt that stuff about the drool? I don't drool. But Wendy is gorgeous so maybe I did drool a bit. I guess I need confidence. My god is my face still red? Nick is coming over – hopefully he's not gonna gloat.
"Hey Dave, look Cath didn't mean what she said… y'know women.. Hormones are at its worst when they're pregnant" Nick said and gave the lab tech a manly pat on the back.
"That doesn't change the fact she said it so loud that even Bobby over in ballistics heard, not to mention Archie in AV & Henry in Tox." He replied bitterly.
Catherine and Warrick were having a discussion in the break room.
"Cath, you have to cool your jets man. Why did you embarrass Hodges like that? You didn't need to do that"
"Well he's got to learn to stop flirting at work. Just ask the damn girl out for heavens sake" Catherine replied as she poured the chocolate sauce all over her banana and ice cream snack.
"Cath, you need to apologize to Hodges." Warrick told her.
Catherine laughed. "Warrick, I will not appologise to Hodges cuz I did nothing wrong." She said and went to try to find Grissom to get the assignment of the night.
"Greg, I know what you're doing… Yes I like David Hodges and I wish to god he would ask me out" Wendy told Greg with heave of her shoulder. "Now he's probably gone into hiding and will never have the courage to ask me out."
"Talk to him, go ask him out." Greg suggested.
"You are actually encouraging me to ask your rival out? I thought you had a crush on me Greg." Wendy teased.
Greg smiled. "Well I did, I do, I think you cute Wendy, but David really likes you and I think you two are a cute couple."
"Thanks Greg"
Before Wendy had a chance to ask out her Knight in Shining Amour – David Hodges, There was a big kafuffle in reception.
The entire graveyard shift ran to reception to see what the issue was. A car had come crashing into the reception area, heavily damaging the reception desk and sending Judy flying.
"OHMIGOD" Catherine said as she saw the driver of the vehicle.
The driver was none other than Hannah West and the passenger was Samantha Grissom. Both were now unconscious and had multiple contusions.
