"Sara, do you think we should try again or just give up for now?"

"You know, Griss, maybe we're going about this kissing thing all wrong. You're trying to kiss me, maybe I should try to kiss you."

"I don't know, Sara. You shouldn't tempt fate."

"Fate shouldn't tempt me."

"Maybe we should just forget about it for now. I'm sure it will happen eventually."

"But we've already waited so long."

"I'm worth the wait."

"I hope so. I'd hate to wait this long and be disappointed. It would totally suck."

"Sure, put even more pressure on me. Not only do I have to kiss you but it has to be good."

"Not just good, it has to be fantastic."

"Great."

"I'm sure it will be better than either of us has ever imagined."

"Or it could be the biggest disappointment of your life."

"We'll never know if we don't try."

"Good point."

"I'm pretty sure, in this case, reality will be better than fantasy."

"I don't know. I've had some pretty good fantasies."

"Well, we'll just have to prove my theory. Turn off your phone."

"Done. Now what?"

"Now you kiss me."

Very slowly, they inched their way to each other. Both determined that no natural or unnatural disaster would disrupt this attempt. All phones were turned off and no other distractions were evident. As his mouth finally found its home with hers both knew it was indeed worth the wait. The simple kiss easily evolved into a more passionate exploration. Eventually, a desperate need for oxygen pulled them apart. They both smiled and looked longingly into each other's eyes.

"You see, Griss, the world didn't end."

"No, it didn't."

"You realize that's what Mulder and Scully said the first time they kissed?"

"Yeah."

"So, was it as good for you as it was for me?"

"Oh, yeah."

"Well, Grissom, where do we go from here?"

"I was thinking the bedroom might be a nice place."

"I love the way your mind works."

5 months later...

Thirty minutes before shift started Sara strolled into Grissom's office. He looked up from his paper work and smiled at her.

"I'm late."

"You're not late. You're thirty minutes early."

"No, Grissom, I'm late."

"Late for wha...you don't mean...?"

"Yeah."

"Wow."

"Yeah."

"How?"

"When a man and a woman love each other and..."

"I know how. This is amazing."

"That's a relief. I thought you would totally freak out."

"I can't believe that I'm not totally freaked out."

"Gotcha."
