"You're eyes are gorgeous." She smiled up at him. "So sea blue." Her fingers softly pushed through his curls.
"I always wondered why you married me honey." He smirked and leaned on his elbows. His hands and forearms rest under the small of her back as his head lay on her stomach.
"That wasn't why." She grinned. He looked at her and asked her why with his eyes. "For your body." She giggled and moved quickly as he groped for her legs and pulled her back to him. "Griss, come on. I wasn't joking. That was part of it. Ow, honey please." She screamed with laughter.
Grissom pinned her beneath him, his legs straddling her thighs and his hands holding her wrists. She stopped wriggling and lost herself in his eyes as they descended slowly. "What are the other parts Sara?" He asked in a low and dangerous tone with his eyes dancing with mischief.
She licked her lips and smiled as his eyes flickered down to them. She seductively licked them again and saw his blues darken and his hold on her weakening. Sara lifted her head slightly and traced his lips with her tongue. He groaned and released his hold, which Sara took advantage of. She wrapped her legs around his waist and flipped them. She was now pinning him to the bed. She leaned down to his ear and whispered hoarsely. "The sex, why else?"
"Why you." He struggled and when Sara started laughing, he pulled her head down and kissed her passionately. She gave into the kiss willingly and fell against him as all sense and thought left her. They were swept away with the pure love that they both had for one another.

Sara looked up at the ceiling, seeing nothing but whiteness. Her head was still in a neck brace to support her neck. She whimpered in pain and Grissom was by her side in seconds. He brushed her hair back and wiped her tears away. "It's ok Sara. I'm here. The doctors coming."
"I hurt Griss. It hurts." She whimpered again and his heart broke. His tears returned at the sight of her in such pain. She watched his eyes and knew he was hurting too, but in a different way. She squeezed his hand reassuringly as she could, although she didn't really know what was going on.
The doctor walked in and soon came into Sara's view. "Sara, I'm Ted. How are you feeling?"
Sara raised her eyebrows the best she could and it made Grissom laugh. She smiled and turned to Grissom. "I'm in pain and tired. What's going on?"
Ted shone a light into her eyes and nodded. "You're eyes are normal and you said you feel pain? Where?"
"Erm. everywhere, but." She looked from the doctor to Grissom and sighed. "My back. I'm not sure. It hurts all over."
Grissom kissed her hair and ran his hand down her cheek. He looked at the doctor. "What's next?"
"More tests I'm afraid, but feeling the pain is good at the moment. It gives us a working point." Ted looked down at Sara and gave her a small smile. "You may have damaged your spine in the accident. Do you remember the accident?"
Sara looked up at the ceiling then at Grissom. "I left you at home and drove down the main street." She closed her eyes. "That's it."
"Ok, no that's good Sara. At least we know that you can recollect some bits. It's likely you'll remember more later, so don't be alarmed alright?"
"Yes." She said fighting to keep her eyes open.
"It's ok honey. You sleep. I'll be here when you wake up." Grissom promised kissing her hand and rubbing it gently.

Sara sat on the doctors bed and sighed. Grissom smiled down at her and squeezed her hand. "Don't worry Sara."
She nodded and closed her eyes. "I enjoy the before bit as much as you, but the after bit is starting to get tiring."
Grissom gave her a sad look. "I know. We can stop you know. Just let it happen."
Sara laughed and turned her head towards him. "Which bit? Before or after and can you restrain yourself doctor Grissom?"
Raising his eyebrows at her, he grinned. "Don't know about that."
"Thought so." She giggled.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." The doctor announced walking through the door. "How are you today Sara?"
"Tired and pissed off." She said non sarcastically.
The doctor smiled. "Yes, well it's obviously taking it's toll. It does on most couples."
Grissom watched as the doctor continued with the reason they were here and just held Sara's hand tightly. He looked down at her and brushed her hair away from her face. "It's up to you." He whispered into her ear.
Sara watched him stand back up and when he looked down at her, he could tell she was in deep thought. Thinking about her decision. The doctor finished and after Sara got dressed, she nodded at her husband. "Let's go home."
They talked to the doctor for advice and left hand in hand. The ride home was spent in silence. Grissom pulled up to their house. Walking up to the door, he reached out for his wife's hand to stop her from putting the key into the lock. "Lets go for a walk." Sara smiled and squeezed his hand. As they were walking through their local park, Grissom pulled Sara closer and put his arm around her shoulder. "We've decided then?" He asked looking down at the ground.
"We can still try honey." Sara whispered and stopped. She turned him towards her and wrapped her arms around his waist. "We let nature run its course." She smiled playfully and leaned up to kiss his lips lightly. "You don't need to worry Griss." She paused and stared at his lips. "I'm sure your up for some extra activities." She quipped.
Grissom laughed and kissed her softly. "No matter how long it takes Sara, we will have a baby." He murmured, kissing her again, but this time with more force.

"Go home and wash." Came the sleepy voice.
Grissom chuckled. "That bad huh?"
She gave him a loving gaze and closed her eyes. "You're tired, go home and get sleep."
"I don't want to leave you." He whispered.
"I'm not going anywhere Gil. I'll be here when you get back."
He watched her eyes open and saw the unshed tears ready to break the barrier again. "You won't be alone. I promise. I can ask Cath if you want?"
Sara smiled and blinked back the tears. "Are the others here?" He nodded and tilted his head to one side when she sighed. "I don't know if I feel comfortable seeing them like this." The tears slowly fell.
Grissom kissed them away. "There's nothing to be afraid of. You know them; they won't judge you or look at you differently. They're your friends. Trust them."
"I do." She whispered and closed her eyes, loosing the battle to stay awake.
Warrick and Catherine stood and waited for Grissom to close the door before speaking. "How is she?"
"Tired and in pain, but other than that. I think she's slowly realising the facts." Grissom leaned against the wall and rubbed his tired face. "Warrick, could you take me home?"
"Sure."
"Cath, I said you'd be there when I'm not. Just sit with her." He pleaded.
Catherine pulled him into her arms and kissed his cheek. "You don't need to ask Gil. We're all here." He nodded and slowly, if forcefully pulled himself from her and the hospital.
