Chapter 2
"Sweetheart, we're going to be late." He shouted down the hall.
Loud shuffling was heard, followed by a thud. He smiled and walked down the hallway to stop in the doorway to his daughters bedroom. She was trying to put her shoes on sleepily. He chuckled and knelt down. He pushed her shoes on and tied up the shoelaces.
"Daddy." She said, still half asleep.
"Yes munchkin?"
She smiled and leaned forward to wrapped her arms around him neck. "Can we stop at the park on the away home?"
He pulled her up and held her as they headed for the car. "We'll see." He kissed her hair and rubbed her back.
Sara smiled at the pair as he set Kate in the back seat. Strapping her in, he pulled a blanket over her. "She not want to go?"
Grissom chuckled and climbed into the passenger seat. "She's still in never- land apparently." He reached out and squeezed Sara's knee as he leaned over the console and brushed his lips across hers. "She'll wake up when she hears the sea gulls." He whispered.
Sara nodded and covered his hand as she shifted the car into drive and pressed her foot down on the gas pedal. "How are your ears today?" She asked quietly, looking in the rear-view mirror to see her daughter still sleeping.
He turned his head away to look out the window. "I need to see Doctor Ross soon I think."
She squeezed his hand and raised it to her lips. Kissing the back of his hand, she smiled at him as he turn his hand and touched her cheek. "Lets forget about work and over things for today and enjoy our day off." She suggested.
Grissom sighed and agreed. "I think I can do that." He chuckled and linked their fingers. "Did you remember the cool box?"
Sara scoffed. "You think I wouldn't?" She laughed and nodded her head. "Of cause I did. Even a cake. She'll love it."
"I'm sure she will. I made sure her swimsuit was in her bag and several towels, but I couldn't find mine, so I grabbed some old shorts." He looked over at her and shrugged. "I want to swim in the sea."
"Or Lake Mead." She corrected him.
"Or Lake Mead." He repeated with a chuckle.
