Chapter 24
Jeff Taylor closed his cell and turned to the others in the room. It was a good thing Kate had school today, otherwise this would have been awkward. Jeff smiled reassuringly at them and nodded. "No case. No court. The custody wasn't going anywhere from the beginning. He had no chance."
Sara turned to Grissom and hugged him tightly. "Thank you." She whispered.
Grissom wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "Nothing to worry about anymore." He said quietly.
Jeff grinned. "That's right. No more contact allowed. His lawyer should have told him that in the first place. His contact privileges died a long time ago. He's never to step into Vegas, contact either one of you or claim anything from you, ever. He's completely out of your lives."
Grissom held out his hand and Jeff shook it. "Thank you Jeff. We all thank you. You've helped so much through the years. I'm glad you're here to look out for us."
Sara stepped away from Grissom and pulled Jeff into a hug. "Bring Susan around for dinner soon. It's been awhile." She asked into his ear and kissed his cheek.
"We'd like that. I'd better get going and see it Susan wants me to pick her up." Jeff grinned and walked towards the door.
"She still at that pottery class?" Grissom asked surprised.
Jeff sighed and chuckled. "I had to by a new shed. She'd taken over my potting shed. I couldn't believe it. I come home one day and it's been emptied and her pottery now fills it." He shook his head and closed the door after him.
Grissom smirked and dropped back onto the couch with a huge sigh of relief. "God I feel good."
Sara smiled and walked over to him. He looked up as she stopped in front of him. He smiled and pulled her down to him. She straddled his thighs as her hands came up to wrapped around his neck. "How good Dr. Grissom?"
"This good." He whispered as he pulled her towards him and captured her lips with his. Pouring all the love he felt for her in one kiss, which was some kiss. Sara moaned and pushed her body tighter against his. Grissom's arms pulled her closer, like there was anymore room between them.
Breaking the kiss for air, Sara gasped. "Wow!"
Grissom chuckled and leaned his head back. He looked up at the ceiling and sighed. Sara leaned forward and laid her head on his shoulder. "I was wondering." He breathed, turning his head slightly and looking at her tired face.
Sara's eyes were closed as she asked him. "Wondering what honey?"
He smiled. "Do you think Kate's school would let her have Thursday off?"
Sara's eyes fluttered open as she shifted her head. "I'm not sure, why?"
Grissom pushed himself forward. He wrapped his arms tighter around her body as he pushed himself off the couch. Sara squeaked and held onto him. "I was thinking that maybe. Kate could come in for a whole shift. Thursday's usually the quietest night. She can sleep in the day and come with us when we leave." As he suggested this, he walked into the bedroom and laid her on the bed.
Shrugging, she smiled. "Don't see why not. We'll have to ask if she wants too." Grissom grinned and leaned down to kiss her. "What's the time?" She murmured.
"Plenty of time." He whispered, pulling his shirt over his head as Sara pulled at hers.
