A big hug for my beta Nepeace.
Chapter 29
Grissom and Sara walked back to Grissom's townhouse. When they reached the front door, Grissom turned around.
"Stay tonight, please?" he looked at Sara and caressed her cheek.
Sara shook her head. "I'm sorry Grissom but I think it's too soon." Sara looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Hey, It's ok. I understand it Sara. It was just.... I thought...." Grissom didn't know how to proceed. He pulled her towards him and hugged her. "It's ok," he whispered and rubbed her back. Sara got in her car and drove off.
Five minutes later Kristina opened the door and walked into the house. She found Gil laying on he couch, but she didn't see Sara.
"Where is Sara?" she said.
Grissom jumped when he heard her voice and looked at her.
*You almost gave me a heart attack* Grissom signed to his mother.
Kristina chuckled and sat down next to him.
"So, where is Sara?" she asked again.
"She went home. We had a great night, but..." Grissom said, but suddenly he was lost in thoughts.
Kristina looked at him and saw that he was thinking, she reached out and laid her hand down on his arm. "What happened?" she saw that he was nervous or something.
*I asked her to stay tonight* he signed to her.
"Let me guess, she said no and it was to soon?" She looked at her son and saw that he nodded.
"Give it time Gil," she said and hugged him.
"Ok," he sighed and walked into the kitchen. Kristina followed him and sat down on a kitchen chair. Grissom took two cups out of the cupboard and filled them with coffee.
"Thanks," Kristina said when Grissom gave her a mug. They drank their coffee in silence and then they went to bed.
*Give it time* Grissom was thinking about the words his mother said. Ten minutes later he fell into a restless sleep.

Three weeks later:
"Shift's over!" Grissom yelled into the break room and ran towards his office.
"What's with him?" Catherine looked at Sara.
"I have no idea," Sara said and shrugged. Sara walked out of the break room and went to Grissom's office.
"What has gotten you in a good mood?" Sara walked into his office and closed the door.
"I...uhm....My mother found a place of her own not far from my house," he smiled. "Do you want to come with us. We are going to move her things today into her new home." He looked at Sara and smiled.
"You are very happy about that huh?" She laughed at him.
"Happy about what?" Grissom grinned.
"That your mother in going to live here," She walked towards him and hugged him.
"Yeah, I missed her very much these last couple of years," he confessed to her.
"I really want to go with you," she smiled and turned around.
Grissom grabbed his car keys and his jacket and followed her outside.
They both climbed into Grissom's SUV and drove away.
Twenty minutes later, Grissom parked the SUV near his townhouse. They both walked up the stair.
"Lets go inside," he said and opened the door.
Sara took of her jacket and walked towards the couch and sat down.
"Do you want something to drink?" He looked at her and smiled.
"Sure. Do you have hot chocolate?" she looked at him and grinned.
"Yep," Griss responded and walked into the kitchen. Two minutes later he came back with two cups of hot chocolate. He gave Sara one, and he sat down next to her.
Sara took a sip of her hot chocolate and smiled.
"What?" Grissom looked at her.
"Huh?" Sara looked at him confused.
"Why are you smiling?" He looked at her and them he looked around the room.
Sara sat next to him and grabbed his hand. She placed his hand onto her stomach and smiled again.
"Wow!" that was all Grissom could say when he felt the baby kick. When he felt another kick he started to smile.
"It's awesome, isn't it?" she said and looked at him.
"It's amazing," he responded and kissed her cheek.
"Grissom?" Sara asked as she pulled away.
"Yeah, what is it?" he looked concerned at her. *Why did she pull away. Did I do something wrong?*
She saw that he was thinking why she'd pull away. She grabbed his hand and looked at him. "I want to ask you something," she couldn't meet his eyes. "Grissom, would you like to go..." she stopped.
Grissom looked at her and his other hand went to her cheek. "Go where?" he asked gently and he caressed her cheek.
"I have a doctors appointment tomorrow...they are going to...," Sara didn't know how to ask him to come with her.
"I can go with you, if you want," he looked at her and forced a small smile.
"Yeah I would like that," Sara looked up to him and smiled.
