Chapter 17
Kate unlocked the door and pushed it open. She couldn't smell dinner, but she couldn't hear anything either. She closed and locked the door behind her and walked into the kitchen. She turned on the coffee pot and pulled out two cups. After making coffee, she picked up the cups and walked towards her parents room. She pushed the door open slowly and smiled when she saw them holding each other on top of the covers.
Her dad was holding her mother around her waist as she had her arm over his chest. Kate placed the cups on the nightstand and sat on the bed. She reached up and brushed her dad's curly hair back. "Dad!" She whispered.
It was late afternoon and she had been at Shannon's all day. She didn't need to go into school and stayed with Shannon and her mother. Kate was wondering why they weren't up yet though. It was only a few hours before work, but her mum usually had dinner on the table by know.
Grissom moaned and turned his head. "Munchkin?"
Kate grinned and laid down on the bed. "I made coffee for you and mum."
Sara sighed and opened her eyes slowly. "Hey honey."
"I made coffee mum." Kate smiled and hugged Grissom tightly, but released him when he wheezed and coughed. "Daddy?"
Grissom coughed again and sat up as Sara pulled away from him and reached out to rub his back. "I'm ok sweetie." He breathed and raised his inhaler to his mouth.
"Dad had an attack earlier." Sara explained and brushed Kate's hair from her worried face. "He's fine honey."
He nodded and pushed himself back to leaned against the head board. "I'm fine. I was outside when the dust blew in from the desert." He explained and pulled them both to him.
Sara wrapped her arms around him and rubbed Kate's shoulder as she closed her eyes and hugged her father. "Why don't we get dinner on?" She smiled and looked up at Grissom. "Are you hungry?" He smiled and kissed her lips lightly.
Grissom took a few minutes to breath before grabbing his coffee and following his two girls to the kitchen. Sara leaned against the counter and watched as Kate pulled the fridge door open. Sara raised her mug to her mouth and smiled as Grissom walked by Kate and placed a kiss in her hair. Kate blindly squeezed his hand as he moved towards Sara.
"Let's get take out." Grissom suggested. "No cooking, just us, sitting and watching a movie."
Sara smiled up at him and leaned into his body as she turned her eyes to their daughter. "What do you think?"
Kate nodded and grabbed the phone and menu from the top of the fridge. "Ok then, what we having?" She dialled the number and waited for an answer as she looked through the menu.
Grissom put his mug on the side and leaned into Sara to place a kiss on her neck. "You choose. I'm going to ring Nick and tell him we'll be on call tonight."
"You sure?" Sara asked, cupping his face gently. He nodded and smiled. Kissing again, he pulled away and walked over to the desk.
