Epilogue
Grissom pushed his door open and stepped aside to let Sara enter. While her back was to him, he slipped his arm around her waist and pulled her back against him. He kissed her neck playfully as she giggled and tried to push away. "Grissom!" She squeaked, looking over at him over her shoulder.
He smiled and released her. They walked into the house a little more as he closed the door. "Good thing my mother's out, or she'd see this." He swung her round and crushed her body to his. His hands tucked into the back pockets of her jeans as he kissed her with heated passion.
"We gotta stop." She breathed out between kisses. Grissom pulled her lower body closer to his, but pulled away quickly when he heard a knock at the door. Sara chuckled lightly at his flushed face and quickly straightened his shirt. "You better get that. I'll ring Brass."
"Ok." He kissed her lips softly before pulling away completely and checking himself as he turned back to the door. Sara looked down at her own clothing and quickly tucked in her blouse and pushed her hair back into ponytail.
Five minutes later, Grissom closed the door and appeared with a medium sized box. "My books arrived." He looked up and saw Sara sitting on the couch watching him. He smiled and placed the box on the coffee table before dropping onto the couch beside her. He leaned back against a cushion and felt uncomfortable for a moment. He fidgeted as he tried to pull a cushion out.
Sara looked at him curiously as he tugged again at the cushion. "Want me to get that?" She offered, slipping her hand over his. He chuckled and leaned himself forward slightly as she pulled it out. "Big baby." She accused, tossing the cushion onto his lap.
"Am not." He threw the cushion at her.
Sara caught it and hit him with it. "Behave kid or I'll tell your mommy." She smiled wickedly.
Grissom smiled and grabbed the cushion, but Sara wouldn't let go. They locked eyes and were ready to challenge each other at any moment. Just as Grissom was going to release his hold, Sara let the cushion go, causing his arm to pull back more than intended and hit the arm of the couch. He chuckled and moved to sit in the middle of the couch as Sara snuggled up next to him.
"What did Brass say?" He asked as his fingers lightly ran up and down her arm.
"He'll have the warrant by tonight." She yawned and sighed as she turned her head to rest against his chest. "What books came?" She asked tiredly.
He leaned down and placed a kiss on her head before pulling away. "Hopefully, it's the latest forensic journal on comparisons to murders and cults from the 1800's." As he opened the box and looked over the books that were packed neatly, he smiled. "Hey, you're Australian DNA magazine's in here, you wanna read it?" Getting no response, he turned his head to see she was fast asleep. "Oh honey," He sighed and moved to pick her up. "Let's go to bed." He whispered to her as she wrapped her arm loosely around his neck.
Marie opened the door quietly and checked her watch. She had been with Catherine for half the morning and went to lunch with an old friend. Thinking her son and Sara would be sleeping, she decided to make them something to eat. They would be up soon either way. She made her way to the kitchen, but noticed the books on the coffee table and smiled. After making fresh coffee and placing toast into the toaster, she sat down at the dining table with a tea and her own book.
Sara padded from the bedroom in her bare feet and Grissom's shirt on. She had heard Marie come in an hour ago, but sleep was still on her mind. Grissom had stepped into the shower while she went in search of nutrition and caffeine. She lightly rubbed Marie's shoulder to alert her to her presence. 'Hey' Sara signed with a tired smile.
Marie turned to see Grissom walking from the bathroom in his sweats and bare feet. 'Catherine asked if you could ring her about work tonight.' She informed when he looked at her.
Grissom smiled and signed. 'Love you too mom and how was your morning?' He chuckled and followed Sara's route to the kitchen. He stood behind her and slipped his arms around her waist as she buttered the toast and spread some jam on each slice. She cut one in half and turned her head as she raised the half to his mouth and smiled as he took a bite.
"Can you get the milk out?" She asked sweetly before taking a bite from the jammed toast herself. He nodded and kissed her cheek. "Eww!" She groaned and wiped the sticky jam from her skin. She turned to pinch his rib playfully and giggled when he chuckled.
Marie watched this display curiously. They had only been seeing each other officially for 3 months and she could already see that they were more comfortable at home and completely professional at work with exception of the spontaneous display of affection about the lab.
If she was certain, she was staying with her son at his request and Sara's, to prove that he had done something to put his life back on track. He'd definitely done that. She smiled as he made coffee and Sara munched on toast and handed pieces to Grissom. The smile that appeared on his face was something she hadn't seen in a long time.
Sara leaned against Grissom's back and kissed his shoulder as she reached around him and picked up her cup. They both sat at the table and ate their breakfast while Marie continued to read her book. Both noticed their books and magazines in a pile on the table and reached for them simultaneously.
Sliding the cordless phone across the table, Sara placed it in his hand. Everyone knew that Catherine wouldn't wait. "Don't forget to tell her about the warrant." She reminded him.
3 months was a long time. Both talked, both laughed, both argued, but in the end, they were together and nothing but the future to look forward to.
THE END
R&R if you would please.
