Back to business

Sara and Ashley played on the floor for a good ten minutes before Sara's back began to give her some trouble. She went to get up and felt her back spasm causing her to cry out. Grissom ran into the living room when he heard Sara's cry of pain. He rushed over to her and helped her get off the floor, situating her on the couch.

"Are you ok?" he asked with a worried look on his face.

"Yeah, my back just doesn't like me to get on the floor apparently" she said as the pain subsided and she relaxed. Ashley climbed up on the couch next to her and gave her a hug. Sara wrapped a hand around her and hugged her close, trying to reassure the little girl she was alright while Grissom continued to look at her with a worried expression.

"Gil I'm fine, really. Go finish dinner" she gave him a smile, which seemed to ebb his worry a bit.

"Ok, but stay there and relax for a little while." Sara rolled her eyes at him as he got up and headed back into the kitchen to finish dinner.

Ashley placed her hands on Sara's stomach in the hopes of feeling the baby again and was rewarded with a kick. She giggled and replaced her hand with her head.

"Is that the baby doing that?" she asked the little girl. Ashley bounced her head in response, "Baby!" Sara smiled, enjoying the moment with her daughter. As soon as the thought passed itself through her mind she knew it was true. She couldn't have loved this little girl any more if she had given birth to her.

Ashley continued to enjoy the movements of her sibling when Grissom came into the room to announce dinner was ready. He took in the sight in front of him and smiled. He went over to the pair and sat down, placing his hand over Sara's stomach as well. She just smiled more broadly.

Grissom looked up at Sara, "dinner's ready, you hungry?"

"I could eat" she responded with a smile.

"yummy!" Ashley said out loud, causing both Sara and Grissom to laugh.

Once dinner was over with, Sara scooted Grissom off to bed while she cleaned up, as much as the two of them hated it they were going to have to return to business as usual. Grissom reluctantly agreed and headed off to bed for some much needed sleep.

The next he knew Sara was waking him up for work, "Gil its 9:30, you need to get up" shaking him gently.

"I'm awake. I'm awake" he mumbled as he sat up in bed. Sara felt sorry for him and vowed she would make his breakfast in the morning and send him straight to bed. He got up and readied for work while she put together a lunch for him.

He came in looking somewhat refreshed and grabbed himself a cup of the coffee Sara had brewed for him. She filled his travel mug for him and set it next to his lunch. He smiled and leaned over for a kiss.

"I could get used to this you know, you start spoiling me now and I may start expecting it all the time." She smiled back at him, "Yeah well, I still have a hankering for putting the bad guys in jail, so don't get your hopes up" she replied while handing him his lunch and coffee.

He smiled, "I love you" he said to her right before giving her a kiss.

"I love you too, you better go before you're late." She gave him a small shove towards the door and kissed him goodbye.

Grissom came into work with a wide grin on his face. He went over to the reception desk and picked up those nights slips which quickly wiped the smile off his face. There was only one case, but it was going to require the entire night shift to do it, and he was down a CSI.

Moments later he stepped into the break room to let the guys know what was going on. They thought he was going to be smiling and bouncy, instead he was grumbling and his face sported a frown.

He got right to the point, "we have five bodies at the high school, apparently the teenagers were having a party in the building when someone interrupted them. They were all shot, Brass is waiting for us lets go."

They all nodded at him and got up, it was going to be a long night.
