A/N Thank you to everyone who has left a review so far, it really encourages me to keep writing. This is not beta'd so any mistakes that there are sure to be are all mine and I apologize in advance. I hope by revealing the baby's sex it will help and encourage some of you to start having a guess at the name I have chosen for the Baby Grissom. R&R Enjoy!
Dead Bodies and New Life – chapter 45 Recovery and good news.
It was six in the evening when Gil woke and opened his eyes, he could feel her hand softly running through his hair at the back of his head, he let her carry on for a few minutes savoring the relaxing sensation, while he let his eyes adjust to being open.
"Mmmmmmm..thats nice" Gil said softly as he lifted and turned his head towards her putting it back down on the bed, and locking eyes with her "You look good" he breathed out relaxed at her ministrations as they moved to the side of his face and around his ear.
Sara chuckled as Gil closed his eyes enjoying her touch "You look tired Gil, and you shouldn't have slept the way you did, your back is going to kill you" Sara said lovingly.
Gil breathed out deeply and slowly opening his eyes fully and beaming a smile at her as he moved to sit up and stretch "You worry too much Sara" he said amused.
"Someone has to, because you wont look after yourself will you" Sara said pointedly as she watched him stand and wince as he stretched bracing his lower back.
Gil chuckled "Okay your right, but I didn't want to leave you when I promised you I would be here when you woke" he said leaning into her to kiss her softly on her lips.
"Well you are sleeping at home tonight bugman, you hear me" she said not taking no for an answer.
"Okay as you wish dear" he smiled happy to see her back to her old self "I gotta pee, be back in a minute" he said as he entered the bathroom and closed the door.
After ten minutes he came out and approached the bed sat down to cuddle Sara as he gave her a much longer kiss.
"Ummmmmm...minty" Sara chuckled kissing his cheek then relaxing against him.
"You feeling okay now honey, you were pretty agitated coming out of the anesthetic earlier" he said amused and smiling.
"I told you I'm not good with anesthetic, I didn't swear or hit out did I?" she asked worriedly.
Gil chuckled "You only swore once and struggled a little, don't worry about it you couldn't help it" he paused to kiss her head "Anyway I have good news, wanna hear it?" he asked.
"Sure" she replied.
"Well I spoke with Dr Brotheridge the gynecologist surgeon who performed your operation and Dr Reynolds and they have agreed to let you go home in a couple of days with a nurse present with you at home" Gil grinned widely as Sara pulled away from him quickly and looked at him with excitement.
"Really, oh wow, that is soooooooo good" She beamed her Sidle smile at his nodding.
"But!" he paused watching her face drop slightly.
"Oh there had to be a but in there somewhere" she said a little apprehensive "Come on bugman spit it out"
Gil chuckled then his face turned a little more serious "Sara you are on complete bed rest at home for one week, then they said that you could get up and start moving around a little" Sara's smile grew again "But! And the doctors mean it Sara, you will have a lot of restrictions to what you will and will not be able to do for the rest of the pregnancy. They will be by soon to explain it more detail to you, okay" he finished on a serious tone trying to get over to her he was not going to stand for her bending the rules on this one.
Sara hugged him tightly and felt very happy "Oh Gil I just cant wait to get out of here and get home so we can sleep in our own bed in privacy" she said quickly then kissing him deeply.
Gil sighed heavily and frowned thinking about the restriction he had been told that would probably affect him the most, and drive him totally crazy.
Sara took in Gil's expression "What is it honey?" she asked him.
"Oh nothing" he said absently then flushing slightly.
"Come on Gil it is not nothing I can clearly see that there is something, and why the hell are you blushing honey?" Sara demanded.
Gil looked down before taking a deep breath "Wecan'thavefullpenatrativesexfortherestofthepregnancy" he rushed out quickly to try and avoid some embarrassment.
Sara was shocked as she watched Gil keep his head down and his cheeks flush deeply "What did you just say Gilbert?" she smiled as she reached for his chin to pull his face up so she could see him.
Gil's face was very red and his eyes darted away from hers quickly "I was told by the doctors that we can not have full penetrative sex for the rest of your pregnancy Sara, are you satisfied now" he said looking directly at her eyes and a little petulantly and pouting adorably.
Sara laughed out loud "Oh my dear dear Gilbert, what shall I do with you" she chuckled at the little boy chided look on his face.
"It's not funny Sara, six months is a long time" Gil huffed.
Sara kissed him deeply then pulled back to look at his cute face "Oh honey that doesn't mean that we cant have sex, full stop, you know I can take care of you and your needs, I showed you that only this morning didn't I" she said wiggling her eyebrows at him.
"Yeah you did that alright" he shot back then kissed her deeply, then rested his forehead on hers "I am just gonna miss being able to make love to you fully for such a long time" he sighed "But I guess I should be grateful that you wont be stuck in here, I cant wait for you to come home sweetheart"
Sara settled back down into his embrace as they both got comfortable on the bed.
Some time later both doctors came to explain to the couple how the procedure had gone and what the future treatment would entail including all the restrictions that Sara would have to adhere to, also including regular checkups with the gynecologist at the hospital.
Dr Brotheridge also told them all about the more recent internal ultrasound scan and their findings, he said that he now knew the sex of the baby and asked them if they would like to know.
Both nodded enthusiastically, and were delighted to find out that their baby was in fact going to be a boy, but they decided that for now they would like to keep this news to themselves until they both felt that they should reveal it to their friends.
They were told that a wheelchair would be loaned to them so that Sara could be taken out and about for days out, but under no circumstances was she to walk anywhere but around her home and to take it easy at all times to minimizing the risk of the onset of early labor.
Gil made arrangements with the nursing agency to have a nurse ready to start working for them in two days, he had contacted the lab to let Ecklie and Catherine know that he would be by later to fill in any paperwork and to bring them up to speed with Sara's condition.
Brass had showed up and visited with them for an hour, making Sara laugh and generally enjoying their company.
Sara had pursueded Brass to take Gil with him when he left, under strict orders that he was to make sure he got a good nights sleep, and not return until after eight in the morning.
After everyone had left her alone she made herself comfortable put on her ipod and settled down to try to sleep.
