****Chapter 11****

Grissom was very careful with her as he knelt over her naked body. Her hands where in his hair as his lips trailed paths over her chest. Her chest was heaving as his mouth moved lower, stopping to press kisses to her stomach.

Sara smiled and wriggled slightly beneath him. Grissom continued his journey down her body and moved back to kneel upright. He was positioned between her legs as his hands lightly ran up and down her legs. Pulling one up and lacing cool kisses from her ankle to her knee. Sara let out a ragged breath and outstretched her arms to grasped the sheets with her hands.

Bending at the waist, Grissom ran his tongue down her thighs, alternating between one and then the other. Sara moaned in anticipation as he blew a puff of air over her centre. Placing one light kiss over her mound, he moved up the bed and hovered over her.

Sara's eyes opened slowly and smiled up at him with passion filled eyes. Grissom reached down and held her left leg, bent at the knee to his hip as he slowly, gently slid into her awaiting warmth. His eyes locked with hers as he filled her completely.

Running a hand up his chest, she closed her eyes and traced his lips with her fingertips as he started to move on her. Rocking their hips in a slow rhythm. Grissom parted his lips and sucked in her index finger. Sara looked up at him and moaned as he ran his tongue around the digit and closed his mouth over it to suck it hard. Grissom groaned loudly as they continued to move together. The vibrations ran down her arm and made her chest tingle.

Her other hand held his upper arm and pushed herself to met his thrusts. Sara pushed her head back into the pillow and gasped, pulling her finger from his mouth and grasped his shoulders. Grissom's arm held him above her body, while the other held her leg high on his hip. Leaning down, he brushed his lips across hers briefly. His breathes coming in short intakes as he increased pressure with each thrust.

Groaning louder with each motion, Sara pulled his body down and attacked his mouth. Grissom grunted as she bit his lip and squeezed his shoulders hard. He smiled against her mouth and kissed her back.

Reaching the point of no return, Grissom broke the kiss and buried his head in her shoulder as he thrust faster. The extra momentum forced Sara's back, further into the mattress. Her mouth hung open as she cried out with release. Swinging her arms around his body and meeting him slowly as he pushed through his release and collapsed on her.

It had been more than a few months since they had been able to make love without the worry of causing more damage or causing pain, but it didn't stop them from being careful. Grissom was very delicate with her body as they made love and the love made Sara's heart swell and make her love for him grow even more.

Sara was ready to walk unaided, but the courage to do so was conflicted with pride. She didn't want to be helped, she wanted to do it herself. Grissom didn't argue, but she knew he didn't like her decision. She was registered for an appointment with Ted at the end of the week for her last tests and examinations. She was then to continue to go to physiotherapy sessions. The good thing about Las Vegas, is that the therapists can come to you.

Staring at her shoes, Sara sighed. Physio was boring and tiring, she surmised. Grissom was working late and should be home at any minute. Meanwhile, the session as going slowly. When the Physio wasn't making Sara move or answer questions, she was talking non stop.

Jessie looked up and grinned. "I'm sorry. I always talk too much. Just tell me to shut up."

Sara smirked and shrugged. "I'm just not use to a lot of noise about the place."

"Ah, but when the little one arrives, there will be noise, so think of it as a taster to what this house will be like in a year's time, only it will be crying and babbling." Jessie laughed and stood to collect her coat. "I'll see you tomorrow Sara. Just relax today and practice moving your legs like I showed you. You're doing great. Keep it up and we'll try walking maybe five steps by mid week."

The door opened as Jessie reached for the handle. "Oh sorry." Grissom's voice was heard.

Sara looked up and smiled widely. "Hey honey."

Grissom let Jessie by and closed the door. He moved over to the couch and placed his briefcase on the coffee table. Leaning down to kiss his wife, he shrugged off his jacket. "Morning."

She took his coat and draped it over the back of the couch. "Anything good at work?"

Sitting down in a tired heap, he pulled her close. "Nothing but a grizzly case. I really think I should start a personal log of any and all tattoo's, gang and cult logos." He mused and kissed her hair. "What did Jessie say?" He asked, changing the subject.

Sara lifted her right leg and propped it up on the coffee table. "Exercises like Ted showed me, but standing."

Grissom smiled. "So, you wanna try later and let me take you out for breakfast?"

She looked up at him. "Yeah, sounds great."

********

After breakfast, Grissom drove them home. It was going to be a busy night of filling in paperwork. He had a feeling and when the director rang to inform him about numerous lab reports being delivered, he had it confirmed that he'd be desk bound for the evening.

Sara opened her door and turned in the seat. Grissom walked around the car and waved at Joyce, their next door neighbour with her two children, Samson and Mary. It was time for school, but for these CSI's, it was time for bed. Sara smiled at them as Grissom slipped his arm around her waist. She held him tightly as her feet touched the ground.

"You think I can try and walk?" She asked quietly, testing her full weight on her feet.

Grissom pursed his lips as he closed the car door. He let her pull slightly away, but still able to lean on him. "Ok, but only a few steps."

She grinned and held his shirt in her hand while the other grasped his on her waist. "Let's see how far. Jessie said I might be walking next week, but not without a cane. I tried telling her no, but you know doctors."

Grissom chuckled and shook his head. "I'm surprised she left the house in one piece at that suggestion."

"Hey, I was very open minded and willing to listen." She argued and got ready to talk her first step.

"I know and I'm proud, I really am. Ready?" He asked softly.

She nodded and lifted her right foot a few millimetres from the ground and pushed it forward. "At least I know what foot is doing what now. It was painfully annoying, not knowing which foot was were."

Grissom smiled and waited for her to place her foot on the ground before moving with her. "Concentrate please." He pleaded almost silently.

"Stop your whining, you're grown man Gil."

He harrumped and watched as she moved her left foot. He smirked as she leaned slightly on him as she took two more steps. "Can I whine now?"

Sara turned her head up at him and narrowed her eyes. "What?"

"I need the toilet, can we hurry this up." He teased and flinched when she swung her arm and smacked him on the hip. "Sorry." He kissed her ear and helped her make the journey to the front door.
