Chapter Two: Too Much Happiness?
Gil spent the rest of day kissing his son Aaron on the head and cuddling with Sara. When Aaron fell asleep again, he put him back to bed and returned to the couch. He wrapped Sara in his arms again.
"Sara, I can hardly wrap my mind around it. Another child…"
"Well, Gil it was all that great sex we had after the Cicada Fiasco. Your little soldiers are much too good at storming the ramparts."
"But such beautiful ramparts…" He moved his hands protectively over Sara's abdomen. "My second son…"
"Gil, honey it could be a girl. Fifty-fifty chance…"
"No it will be a boy…boys run in my family. I told you that before Aaron's birth."
"Well Bugman you need some sleep…let's go to bed…to sleep. We are both tired," with that Sara pulled Gil up from the couch and into the bedroom.

"Gil…time to get up…Gil…"
"No…I want to stay home with you and Aaron…I'll call in sick."
"Doctor Gilbert Aaron Grissom…You will get up and get ready for work and don't be late for the appt tomorrow. 10 A.M. Ok? NOW"
"Ok I'm getting up…Take a shower with me?"
"Gil…Shower…alone!"
As Gil was taking his shower he tried to picture what his son would look like. Probably look like Aaron and me. In truth, he really was hoping for a little girl that could be the image of Sara; but realistically he was sure it would be a boy. Girls marry Grissoms; they are not born into our family. He toweled off and walked back into the bedroom; Sara had laid his clothes for the day on the bed. He saw she had also laid out a dressier shirt and slacks for the appt later. He sighed. Sara takes such good care of me…God I love her so.
Gil finished dressing and walked out to the kitchen to have a meal with Sara and Aaron. "Hi, little man…remember when Mommy goes to the doctor today…No Bugs!" Gil kissed Aaron on the top of his head. "Finish your sandwich"
"Ok, Daddy"
Gil then wrapped his arms around Sara and kissed the top of her head, her neck and her lips. "Gil if you keep that up; you are going to be late. Finish your eggs and get a move on…Remember no bugs goes for you too…and if you go into work smiling like that everyone will know something is up…I would like to keep it quiet for a while…Ok?"
"Ok…I'll put on my Gruesome Grissom face…I'll think of Ecklie…" as Gil proceeded to do his best Ecklie impression. Sara almost choked on a mouthful of eggs and Aaron began giggling crying: "Ickie, ickie…"
"Gil, pick us up here nine-thirty sharp…and Aaron proof the car before we go…" Sara kissed him goodbye. "Now go."
"Yes, honey…I know when I'm not wanted." As he turned to go out the door, Sara firmly swatted his butt and when he turned she planted a hard kiss on his lips. God I love that ass. Sara thought.
God I love it when she swats me on the ass, he thought when he went out the door and got into his Denali and drove towards the lab.
0000000 At CSI Laboratory 0000000
Gil somehow managed to get to the lab without incident. His mind was totally preoccupied with the thought of his child to come. If Sara's smile was megawatt; tonight Gil's face was lit by a gigawatt goofy grin.
"Good evening, Dr. Grissom…Dr. Grissom your messages…Dr. Grissom!" Susan the front desk receptionist had to chase Gil halfway down the hall. "Huh, oh Susan…Messages right," Gil held out his hand and Susan put them in his hand and he stuffed them in his pocket. Very strange. Susan thought as she walked back to the reception area. What a goofy look on his face. He's even more absentminded than usual.
Gil managed to get to his office while only bumping into one wall. He put his briefcase down, dropped his jacket on the floor and sat down behind his desk. Instead, of looking at his messages so he could figure out who would do what tonight; Gil put his head in his hands, sighed and continued to think about son of Grissom the sequel.
0000000 The Break Room 0000000
Swing shift was overlapping with Graveyard this month. Next month Graveyard would overlap Days. A lot of CSIs had left since Ecklie's promotion to ALD. All shifts were shorthanded as the budget fight continued for the new hires to replace the departed.
"Sara's still off tonight, right?" Nick asked.
"Yeah, she'll be back tomorrow." Warrick said. "Hey, Greg…Where's Grissom?"
"I think he's in his office. Susan said he looked very goofy and distracted tonight…her words not mine."
"I'll go see what is going on." Warrick said as he rose and left the break room.
Warrick walked to Grissom's office. He knocked. No answer. He knocked a little harder. No answer. So he opened the door and walked in and saw Griss with his head in his hands with a lopsided smile on his face. If it hadn't been Grissom Warrick would swear the guy was stoned on marijuana. "Griss…Grissom…assignments?"
"Hmmm…Warrick did you need something? Oh…assignments…here"
"Griss…Break room…handing out assignments…you're the supervisor."
"Oh yes…Be right there…" he signed the goofy grin still plastered on his face.
Warrick left Grissom's office and made his way back to the break room. "Griss is definitely on something…he hasn't acted this way since…" Warrick's eyes lit up. "Since he found out about GC…"
"No way!" Nick laughed. "Do you think Sara is expecting again?" Nick seemed quite pleased with the idea.
Greg jumped up. "Pool…pool. Bets are boy or girl with birth date. Twins? When Sara and Gil will make the announcement…birth date of next Grissom…Eye color…"
All the CSIs all sat down quickly as they heard the sound of Grissom's peculiar shuffle come down the hallway.
"Warrick and Greg take the multiple 419s at the Tangier…Nick solo at convenience store robbery…Sofia…where's Sofia?"
"She was involved in a small TA on the way into work. She will be here in about fifteen minutes."
"Ok…I'll leave the two trick rolls at the front desk for her and I'll take the decomp in the dumpster in Henderson…Let's go process."
Nick, Greg and Warrick all looked surprised. Grissom volunteered for a decomp…Sara is definitely expecting. The group all thought at the same time with a group chuckle.
00000 In the locker room shower at the end of shift 00000
The decomp had been particularly ripe and it certainly didn't help that Grissom had fallen into the dumpster with the body not once but twice. So here he was in the shower scrubbing his skin raw with lemons. He had a little over an hour and a half to finish deodorizing himself, get dressed, Aaron proof the SUV, dump his odiferous clothes in the garage at the townhouse, pick up Sara and Aaron and get to the obstetrician.
0000000 At the Grissom townhouse 0000000
With less than an hour to go before Gil picked them up for Sara's appt it was time to get Aaron ready to go. "Aaron…time to get ready"
Next to the front door were four wicker baskets labeled Dad's No Nos, Mom's No Nos, Aaron's No Nos and OK Stuff. "Ok Aaron…pockets." Starting from the top Aaron showed her his Chicago Cubs hat. Nothing in the hat or under the band. Sara thought as she inspected it and put it in the OK Stuff. Top right pocket in his Chicago Cubs jersey. Paper clips, clump of dirt, Kleenex and 10 bug trading cards from the Disney movie "A Bug's Life". Sara put the dirt in Aaron's No Nos basket and put the rest in the OK Stuff basket with the Chicago Cubs cap. Top left pocket. Lego bricks, plastic bugs, army men, dead worms? Sara put the everything except the dead worms in the OK Stuff basket. "Aaron dead worms…why didn't you get rid of these when you came back from fishing with your dad?"
"Mommy, these are for Sadie…she's eating for twenty…now."
"Aaron James Grissom…didn't daddy say no bugs…didn't I say no bugs…where's Sadie…which pocket?"
"Mommy, Sadie not bug…Daddy said arthro…"
"An arthropod." Sadie was Aaron's new sting less scorpion a new popular mutation of the Emperor Scorpion; and apparently Sadie was expecting. 1...2…3…4…5…Gil I hope your life insurance is paid up…6…7…8…9. Just what we need more scorpions.
"Aaron don't move…take Sadie out of your pocket." Sara went into the kitchen and got a large refrigerator dish and then put Sadie and the dead worms in the dish and went back into Aaron's room and put Sadie back into her terrarium with 1 worm.
The rest of the worms she left in the refrigerator dish and snapped the lid on. Mmm…better do a bed check. Sadie check…Two hissing cockroaches check…One large preying mantis…George the garter snake…missing.
"Aaron…where's George?"
"In my other pocket Mommy…I'm coming."
Aaron came back into his bedroom and put George in his terrarium. "Mommy…George not bug either…reptile."
"11…12…13…14…Aaron, before appts, school, shopping trips…no living things in pockets…no dead things in the pockets…no things that are about to be born in the pockets…Ok? My little bugman…" She kissed Aaron and the two walked back out to the living room. The rest of the search was uneventful. Aaron's back pockets of his cargo pants contained a "A Field Guide to Spiders"…a deck of playing cards…and fifty Chicago Cubs trading cards.
Sara gave him back the items from the OK Stuff basket and put his cap on his head. "Ready?"
"Yes…Mommy."
Gil walked through the door from the garage at that moment, walked over to his wife and kissed her hard on the lips. "Pay back for this morning"
Aaron giggled as he made kissing sounds with his lips. Gil reached over, grabbed his son planted one on his forehead and said, "So how much contraband did Mommy find?"
"Con…con…" Aaron struggled with this new word.
"How many No…Nos, little man. The word is con…tra…band, Aaron." He looked over at Sara. "Everyone ready?"
"Gil we will have a private talk about pregnant scorpions, later. We have to hurry or we will be late…you get the little bugman."
"Oh boy, Aaron…I think we are in trouble." He picked Aaron up and followed Sara into the garage. Once everyone was buckled up, Gil pulled the Denali out of the garage and began the drive to medical offices.
