It had been two weeks since Sara had being allowed home from hospital. Not, which she had spent much of the two weeks at home. She had being staying at Grissom's. She was back to work today, after much pleading from both her and Grissom she was allowed back a week early however for the week she was confined to the lab. No one knew about them and it was going to be fun watching their faces when they found out. Grissom had told everyone he visited regularly and had being given an earful by Catherine for not admitting how he felt. They had decided for a while to keep it to themselves, they were both happy about this as neither wanted to jeopardise the relationship.
"Morning" Grissom said as Sara appeared from his bedroom. He still hadn't gotten use to this sight. Sara wore one of his old tee shirts, her hair hung loosely on her shoulders. All that was visible from her ordeal was chalk like scars going the entire length of her left leg and arm also the cast on her right arm was a pretty big giveaway. There was also a small scar on her forehead; the bruises had disappeared over the past week.
"You still think I look like Barbie?" questioned Sara. Grissom had commented that with the scar running the entire length of leg it looked like a Barbie where the plastic was joined.
"I think you look better than a Barbie" he smiled embracing her. "You want omelettes" Sara nodded and headed back to get dressed.
"Grissom, what if they figure us out?" called Sara from the bedroom.
"Then they do" he replied.
"You don't mind". Grissom appeared in the door was holding a spatula.
"The whole world could know I would happily tell them" he grinned as Sara came out the bedroom.
"What about Ecklie?" she asked sitting down and grabbing a plate.
"Well that will be a face I want to see! He can't do anything not after the interesting piece of information I found out"
"WHAT?" Sara shouted nearly chocking on the piece of omelette she had shoved in her mouth.
"Ecklie's dating Sofia from day's so he can't split us up or lecture us" he grinned also tucking into his omelettes.
"Cath's going to kill you for winding her up" laughed Sara.
"I did not wind her up. I simply said that I have a new friend to take out for dinner. She just assumed I had blown it with you" Sara laughed again.
"She clearly had high expectations of you," grinned Sara.
"Ready for work?" Grissom asked ten minutes later helping Sara on with her jacket.
"I can't wait to get this thing off," she said waving her arm and hitting Grissom.
"You know that thing a dangerous weapon," he said rubbing his arm.
"I can be even more dangerous without" she grinned.
15 minutes later and they were at work.
"SARA" Nick's shouting caused everyone to jump. The group were assembled in the break room waiting for Grissom to hand out assignments. Now however they had all jumped up and were hugging Sara.
"Nice cast" snorted Warrick, noticing that it was luminous pink. Cath also laughed seeing the pink pot sticking out from her sleeve.
"Greg's idea of a joke" she said. "He took me back to the hospital when I…err had an accident and had to have it re-plastered" Sara stopped and shot a look at Grissom.
"What sort of accident?" asked Warrick. Sara now glared at Grissom. He had tried to introduce Sara to some of his insect friends only Sara wasn't as keen as he was. He found her screaming and running away from him quite fun so had chased he into the bathroom pretending he had Watson in his hand, Watson was however quite happily in his tank. So instead when he finally cornered her he had kissed her. They both quite unexpectedly lost their balance and Sara had fallen cracking her pot on the side of the sink. Sara was forced to ring Greg to give her a lift after Grissom was paged to work. The only problem was she couldn't remember what she had told Greg had happened.
"I err fell in the shower" Sara finally came out with.
"So how did it end up pink?" asked Nick suppressing laughter.
"Well I fell asleep because we had to wait so long. When asked what colour he thought I'd like it Greg told them PINK" Sara shouted the end of her explanation.
"I think it suit's you" grinned Greg from the doorway.
"I thought you shut your pot in a draw actually," said Greg eyeing her suspiciously. Sara now felt all the eyes in the room on her.
"I err…" Sara did not know how to get out of this one.
"How'd you really do it"? Asked Nick now very interested in the story.
"I don't really remember, what with all the questions!" Sara stormed out the room leaving Grissom to laugh to himself.
"Now that was funny" Grissom appeared at the side of the room Sara was working in.
"Well I wasn't about to tell them how it really happened" she managed a weak smile.
"Damn" she called suddenly pulling her arm back from where she was working. She had just knocked lumanal over her pot.
"That's the third time" she shouted frustrated. Getting up.
"Hey it's ok" Grissom held her hand to prevent her from walking off.
"I'm sorry its just I hate been stuck in here and…." Sara trailed of.
"And what?"
"When you leave…it's stupid really" Sara tried to pull herself away from Grissom but instead her grabbed her arm that was in the pink pot.
"When you leave I get scared that I might not see you again" Sara faced the floor until she gentle felt a hand push her chin up.
"I said I would never leave you and I meant it" Sara knew he did from the look in his eyes. Grissom then did something he had not done before he kissed Sara in public.
"Hey, Gil have you….." Catherine trailed of as her Brass and Nick stood opened mouthed in the doorway. Grissom and Sara pulled apart.
"Cath this is my new dinner date" Grissom said proudly. Catherine just stood the odd sort of choking sound coming out her mouth; a huge grin had spread across Brass's face. Nick however was the first to talk.
"You hurt her Griss and I'll kill you. I know how to get rid of evidence" he grinned hugging Sara.
"It's about time Gil" said Brass shaking Grissom's hand.
"Cath you ok?" asked Sara, seeing Catherine frozen to the spot.
"Yer. I just made ten bucks of Greg" she smiled hugging the both of them. Grissom was not used to this much physical contact from other people and was beginning to get uncomfortable so excused himself.
It wasn't long before the whole lab knew, Ecklie too he had talked to the both of them about professional conduct.
"the important thing is the lab" Ecklie paced around the back of the room, while Sara mouthed along withhis lecture. Grissom had suddenly found the button on the side of his jaket very intresting, it was the only thing stopping him from laughing at Sara now imitating Ecklie.
"I think for the good of the lab I will have to transfer you Sara" that was when Grissom snapped back to reality.
"You can't do that. GREAT you stand around looking for a reason to split us up then we come straight to you with one. There is no unprofessional conduct" Grissom placed a hand on Sara's shoulder to prevent her from continuing.
"I think that is a very good display of unprofessional conduct" grinned Ecklie.
"Before you go throwing a party I suggest you stop and think about what you are doing and what the consequences are" interrupted Grissom.
"I think I know the consequences"
"Really, because if Sara is to transfer then so must Sofia. It wouldn't be professional for you to work with her and date her. I'm sure the sheriff would have the same opinion" Grissom had finally gone politics and at just the right time. Ecklie's face fell he just stood staring.
"Actually I believe that our shift just ended, so if you've finished" Sara took Grissom's hand and led him out. "Oh if you want to test us feel free, well give you unprofessional conduct" Sara added kissing Grissom in the middle of the corridor, taking several lab techs by surprise and causing Hodges to start a small fire as he started at the two of them.
"I think that unprofessional conduct is making people work triples so you and Sofia can go on dates. Jim hopes you have a nice meal tonight" Grissom waved to Ecklie. Damn he hated the Grissom had the respect of the lad and friend in the police force.
"Jim?" questioned Sara.
"I had to get evidence and he seemed very keen to bring Ecklie down a notch" said Grissom being led into the break room by Sara.
"SURPRISE" both Grissom and Sara jumped walking into the break room at the end of shift as balloons and blown up latex gloves hung from the ceiling.
"Thanks" smiled Sara being hugged by Greg.
"You know that I lost a bet to Catherine, so if you get pregnant I want the head's up" grinned Greg. Sara just nodded at him and moved away quickly. An hour later and the party finally finished Grissom and Sara were allowed home.
"So who's we going to tonight?" asked Sara.
"Yours" replied Grissom "then once we've packed your stuff back to ours" Sara sat upright.
"Are you asking me to move in?" she asked
"I believe I am" Sara smiled and threw he arms around Grissom causing him to swerve. "Sorry" she muttered. "I just can't believe were moving in" she grinned as the drove of to their new home.
