Summary: Sara adopts a little girl and shocks the group. She has difficulty handling her new found motherhood and finds support in Greg. Greg-Sara relationship
Chapter 5:
"Hey Grissom," a female voice said. Grissom looked up from his desk to see Sara standing in his office doorway.
"Hello Sara. What can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if I could have this Friday night off?" Sara asked.
"You want a night off?" Grissom said, astounded by her request.
"Yes," Sara said smiling. "Bethany and I are going to look at some prospective houses Friday afternoon and I don't know how long we'll be."
"Greg's the only other one off that night, so sure. Besides you never took a maternity leave so I can give you some time off," Grissom saw Sara blush at the mention of Greg's name but pretended not to notice.
"Thanks Gris," Sara said as she headed to the breakroom, thinking about what Grissom had said. Why would he mention Greg? What does it matter if he's got the night off? Maybe I could invite him to come with us house shopping? Bethany would love that, so would I, but is it inappropriate? Sara was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't see Greg coming out of the breakroom and walked right into him. They both fell to the ground, Sara partially on top of Greg. "I am so sorry," Sara stammered as she pushed herself off him into a sitting position.
"It's no problem," Greg said. "Are you okay, though?"
"I'm fine," Sara answered and was blushing profusely now. "What about you?"
"I'm great. It's not everyday a beautiful girl falls into my lap." Greg laughed as Sara blushed redder than she already was.
"Don't kid around," Sara mumbled.
"I wasn't kidding Sara," Greg said gently. He changed topics, "why were you so distracted anyway?"
"No specific reason," Sara stuttered, "just thinking. Greg?"
"Yeah," Greg replied as he stood up.
"Do you have any plans on Friday?" Sara asked. "Grissom mentioned that you also have the night off and I was wondering if you wanted to come house shopping with me ad Bethany? If you're not busy, I mean." Sara looked at the floor, suddenly feeling very shy.
"I'd love to," Greg whispered and he offered Sara a hand up. She looked at him and put her hand in his. She pulled her up and asked, "when and where?"
"My apartment, you know where that is right?" she continued at his nod, although she noticed that he was still holding her hand making it hard to concentrate, "at 2:00pm. We can go out for dinner, after if you want."
"Cool," he said, "I'll be there."
"Great," Sara smiled. "I guess I'll see you later then," Greg released her hand regretfully and she headed down the hall.
A few minutes later, Nick passed the breakroom and saw Greg standing in the same position he'd been when Sara had left with a huge smile on his face. "What are you smiling about?" Nick asked. Greg just laughed and walked away. Nick stared after him quite confused.
