Sara awoke to the feeling of someone stroking her stomach. Twisting her head, she saw Grissom looking at her with a smile on his face. The hand on her stomach continued to caress her so she moved her hand to stop it.

"Morning" Grissom said leaning over to kiss her forehead.

"Morning. What time is it?" Sara asked.

"8.30. we need to get up for work. Will you be coming back tonight?" he asked as he reliantly drew his arms away.

"Maybe. I need to find out where we are on the case first. Can I take a quick shower?" At Grissom's nod, Sara stood up and walked into the adjoining bathroom and closed the door behind her. While she undressed, Sara began to think about the last night. 'Oh my god, is he ready to have me back in his life? Is he ready for a relationship? How will I deal with this if he isn't? Will he regret this?' Looking back over the night, Sara saw that he was at least serious about being in love with her. Remembering this morning, Sara had seen the love in his eyes as he had woken her. 'I need to solve this case so that I can find out about where I stand in his life. I want to be everything to him' she thought. Stepping into the shower, Sara washed away all her fears, and decided to just take the punches as they come.

Walking into he lounge room, Sara smelled the best smell ever. Omelettes. Looking into the kitchen, she saw Grissom standing over the stove in just a pair of pyjama bottoms.

"Nice" she commented.

"What? The omelettes or me?" he shot back, looking over his shoulder at her.

"Both." She replied, sitting at the kitchen bench. Chuckling, Grissom brought the omelettes over on two plates, and set one down in front of her. Beginning to eat, Sara and Grissom started to discuss what would happen after the case.

"So, what will you do? Will you stay here or go back?" he asked in between bites.

"I don't know. I mean, I love it at Homeland Security but I'm also missing it here. I just don't know what will happen. All I know is that I don't want to leave you" Sara stared down at the table as if it would answer all of her questions.

"I don't want you to leave me. Please stay here," Grissom said quietly looking at her. Raising her head, Sara was shocked to see the emotions in his eyes. It seemed that all of his barriers were lowered, allowing her to see inside his soul and she liked what she saw.

"How are we going to do this?

"We'll work it out. We have to. Now, we need to get to work and finish this case up for you"

Nicky, Warrick, Catherine and Greg were all sitting around the table when Sara and Grissom arrived.

"Wow. Did you guys even go home?" Sara asked.

"Yeah. For a while. I found out some info from the Marlin case. It seem that one of Debbie's callers was a man by the name of Daniel Night. He looks exactly like this Naor guy, only ten years younger. I think that he and Laurie have had this planned for years. They probably found a woman they liked the look of, and when they saw you working here, they killed her and used the jealous boyfriend thing as an excuse" Catherine said, looking through her notes.

"That could work." Sara said pulling her phone out of her pocket. Pressing the first speed dial, she waited until someone picked up. "Mo, have you got anything yet?"

"Yes. It seems that Laurie and Naor went to school together. They were both pre-med until Naor was kicked out on rape charges. He went under an assumed name, one Daniel Night. He was also spotted hanging around the Desert Palm's hospital three years ago." Mo said.

"Thanks. When do the others get here?" Sara asked as she wrote everything down.

"Now" Kilmer said as he walked through the door. "We've found Naor. He's staying at Laurie's house. We have a team reroute, Sara, we need you for this. The rest of you, it was good to meet you and hopefully we'll see you another time." He said. Sara stood and started to gather her stuff.

"Well, it been great to see you again. I miss you guys a lot. Girss, can I talk to you in the hall for a moment?"

"Sure" Grissom said as he stood. Sara waited till they were outside before speaking.

"I'm sorry, but after we catch him, I'll have to leave. I will try to get back as soon as I can, but I can't promise you. This is my new number, please call me, as I'll need to hear your voice soon" with that, Sara kissed him sweetly before turning and walking away from him.

One Month later

Sara walked into the busy airport, excited and nervous about seeing Grissom again. Over the last month, they had been talking constantly, and when he asked her to move back to Vegas with him, she couldn't say no. So here she was, walking towards the arrivals lounge to see Grissom again and to live. The guys at Homeland Security had agreed to her suggestion as being the liaison person between the Homeland team and CSI's around the US. She would be called out on some cases, but she was based at the crime lab in Vegas, where she would work again as a CSI. Suddenly, she felt the hairs on her neck stand on end, and knew that Grissom was around somewhere.

"Sara!" she heard his voice cry out joyfully. Scanning the crowd, she saw him walking quickly towards her.

"Griss" she exclaimed, dropping her bag at her feet and rushing into his arms. He drew her in closer and rested his head on hers.

"Oh God Sara, I've missed you so much" he whispered as he drew back, his hand coming to rest in her hair.

"I've missed you too" she replied before pulling on his head, and capturing his lips with her own. They kissed for what seemed like forever, before they withdrew to breathe.

"Don't ever leave me again Sara Sidle. Promise me you'll never leave me," he whispered as she leaned into his chest.

"I can't promise that, but I can promise that I'll never leave you willingly." She replied, drawing away from him. "Come on, let's go get my bags and go home"

After getting home and settled, Grissom took Sara out to dinner at a quaint restaurant in the suburbs of Vegas.

"I've always loved coming here. They have the best meals, and their vegetarian menu is wonderful as well" he said as they slid into the seats. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very romantic, with every table having flowers on it, and the dance floor in the middle of the room. There was also a live band playing the old classics. After we ordered (Grissom a steak and me a Caesar salad) Grissom reached over the table for Sara's hand.

"Sara, if there's one thing I've realised over the past few months it's that I can't live without you. My life just looses meaning when you're not around and I never want to do that again." Kneeling on the floor in front of Sara, he continued. "So Sara, would you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" Opening the small box in his hand, he revealed a gold ring with a sapphire stone in the middle, surrounded by diamonds. Gasping, Sara began to cry. Still on his knees, Grissom began to get worried, but all of those worries disappeared by the size of the smile slowly spreading across her face.

"Yes" she cried pulling him up to his feet. Laughing, Grissom picked her up and swung her around to the applause of all of the other customers and staff in the room.
