Chapter 19
Sara woke at 4 in the morning to birds chipping. She opened her eyes slowly and saw the TV still on. She reached for the remote and turned it off. Turning her head, she noticed Grissom was still sleeping. She looked down at Kate and smiled. Pulling Grissom's arm from her hip, Sara crouched on the floor and whispered into Kate's ear.
"Up you get Kate. Go to bed." Sara brushed Kate's hair back and kissed her head.
"Ok mum." She sighed and pulled herself up.
Sara watched as Kate wondered sleepily down the hallway and into her room. She was so tired, she didn't shut her door. Sara smiled. She turned her attention to the man still fast asleep. The past few days must have been horrible for him, it must have put so much stress on his system that he's sleeping upright.
Sliding back onto the couch, Sara leaned forward and pressed her lips to his neck. Grissom's head turned slightly, but he didn't wake. She smiled and repeated her actions up his neck to his cheek. "Gil?" She murmured. "You want to go to bed?" She asked on a whisper.
Grissom dreamily shook his head. She loved it when he was like this. You could ask him a question and he sometimes answers it. It was better than a truth serum. "Do you love me?" She asked, a wide smile spreading across her face.
He turned his head towards her as he took a deep breath through his nose. "Yes." He murmured quietly.
Sara kissed his lips softly. "Gil," She held her giggle that threatened to erupt. "I trod on a bug."
Grissom's eyes slowly opened. "Liar." He smiled.
She kissed his lips again and nodded. "True, you want to go to bed?" She asked her original question.
He shook his head and pulled her lightly with him as he moved to lie down on the couch. Sara grinned and covered his arms as they wrapped around her waist and held her to his body. "I want to hold you here." He whispered and kissed her neck.
"What do you want to do tomorrow?" She sighed and snuggled further into his warmth.
Grissom breathed out slowly and smiled against her hair. "Don't know. It's a weekend."
Sara's shoulders shook with silent laughter. "I know that silly. Do you want to go somewhere?"
"No." He answered. "I want to stay with my girls the whole weekend and take them to see Catherine."
Sara turned her head and smiled. "Atlanta. We can actually go to Atlanta for a weekend?" She was liking this idea.
Grissom smiled and nodded. He leaned in slightly and kissed her lips. "Yes. Kate hasn't seen Cath in a year. I think it would be good for us to get away for a day or two." Sara hummed against his lips as he moved to let her turn in his arms.
Sara's hand pushed under his shirt and up his back. Grissom sighed and broke the kiss. He looked into her eyes and waited. She nodded and smiled. "I think that's a great idea." She drew him back into the kiss and pulled his chest down to cover hers.
She could feel his heart beating rapidly with her own as she ran her hands under his shirt and into the back of his pants. Grissom moaned into her mouth as she pulled him tighter to her. Sara broke the kiss at the sound of a door closing lightly and laughter. She turned her head and looked towards the hallway. "I think we disturbed the Munchkin." She giggled.
Grissom chuckled and settled against her. "She thought it was funny. Would you be laughing if you heard your mother and father making out on the couch?"
They both looked each other in the eyes and nodded. "Probably." They laughed.
