Lydia curled next to Greg after they woke up, neither of them felt like getting up, so they just lay there in one another's arms. She lifted her arm so that she could catch the rays of sunlight in her heart shaped diamond ring, then she watched it sparkle in the light.

"What are you thinking love," asked Greg.

"I wasn't thinking that much, I guess being away from work does that. I'm happy."

"So am I."

"This ring is smaller than mom's," she pouted.

"That's because they're both supervisors, they can afford it."

They shifted in the bed so that they were face to face, and she kissed him, then she said, "Did it seem like it was my first time?"

"No, you were amazing. What brought that up?"

"Well, how many other people have you been with?"

He thought about it and with a smile he said, "Oh, I don't know, lots and lots. I thought you weren't thinking that much."

She hit him, and then said, "I was being serious!"

"Ok, six. My first time was when I was a junior in high school. She dumped me for the captain of the football team. Then I had a girlfriend during my senior year, but she found someone else when we went to different colleges. During college I had three girlfriends, one I left, one was a mutual breakup, and the other left me. Trista, my second one decided that she was bi, so did Marcy my third girlfriend. Jessica, my fifth girlfriend decided that she was gay."

"My poor Greg. What about the sixth girl, and are they the only ones you ever dated?"

"I had other girlfriends, but we never did more than date. The sixth woman was while I worked in the lab, we dated for awhile, but we didn't have too much in the relationship so we decided to end it, we're still friends. For awhile I considered asking Sara on a date, but I was afraid to, and then you came along and I wanted to date you."

"That's sweet of you to say, and at least I know Sara is with Nick, so she's not competition."

"Baby no one is competition with you, and if you're worried about me comparing them to you don't. You are the only one for me, and no one else was, ok?"

She kissed him and then said, "Yes, and you're the only one for me, which is why I married you."

"I can't believe I'm married," Greg said as he looked at his own ring, and they brought their ringed hands together.

"Neither can I. I can't believe how much has happened in these past couple years."

"I know, and just think, we've only just started our lives together."

They kissed again, and then she said, "We should go to the restaurant in the lobby and eat, it's nearly two in the afternoon."

"Ok, then what should we do?"

"I don't know."

They got dressed and they went to get something to eat. After that they went shopping in the hotel and after that they decided to go take a walk outside in the snow.

"I love the snow," Greg said.

"So do I, but I haven't seen it that often."

"I grew up in New York City, so it was common to see snow, but I suppose growing up in Las Vegas, and then living in San Francisco it would be uncommon. Just like the rain is uncommon in Vegas."

"Yeah, so I grew up with little rain and little snow."

"And I had the opposite."

Lydia scooped up some snow off the ground, and after playing with it for awhile she threw it at Greg, then she started giggling. Then they started to throw snowballs at one another for several minutes, before going indoors, and back into their room. Once inside they kissed long and passionately, and then they made love again.


Once their weeklong honeymoon was over, they went back to their new home in Las Vegas. He drove them to their house, which neither of them had seen since their family and friends had moved in all of their belongings. He parked the car in the garage next to her car, which had been moved there, and then he scooped her up and he carried her into the house. Then he set her down as they looked around their house.

It was set up very nicely, and they loved how there were pictures of everyone hanging on the walls, along with the posters and knick-knacks that each of them owned. On a coffee table in their living room they got the nicest presents of all. There was a DVD, a photo album, and a bottle of champagne with two glasses next to it setting there along with a note.

Dear Lydia and Greg or Mr. and Mrs. Sanders,

We wanted to wish the two of you good luck on your marriage. And as a gift we have put together a DVD and a photo album of all the times you've had together, and of all the times you've spent with all of us. The champagne is for you to enjoy while you look at these things. We also hope you like the way we decorated your house.

With all of our love, your family and friends,

Gil, Catherine, and Lindsey Grissom,

Roger, Angela, Alexa, Tyler, Melanie, and Tanya Sanders,

Charlotte and Grace Marks,

Sam Braun, Marianne Michaels, Vivian Grissom,

Karen and Mark Thomas, Jake and Mary Michaels,

Jim and Ellie Brass,

Sara Sidle, Nick Stokes, Warrick Brown, Roxie Carmichael, David Hodges, and everyone else!

Greg and Lydia started to tear up, but when they started to look through the photo album they began to cry, and talk about each picture. In the album were pictures and momentos of their entire lives, starting at childhood and going from there. There were captions under each item. Lindsey had put amusing comments under some of Lydia's pictures, describing the first time she had seen them, including her fear of wearing an identical necklace to Lydia. There were pictures from the various parties at work, and ones of the two weddings. At the end was a final message.

The following pages are yours to fill with all that will happen in the future; make the best of it.

With Love, your parents and in laws,

Catherine and Gil Grissom and Roger and Angela Sanders

Then Lydia and Greg watched the DVD that had been put together, as they drank the champagne. The DVD was mainly of family and work parties, but they loved it just as much as they loved the memory book. When the movie was finished, Lydia said, "You realized that we go to work again tomorrow."

"Yeah, I'm not really looking forward to it, as much as I enjoy working with everyone."

"I know what you mean. Especially with how much fun we've been having."

"Yeah, but that's the way it works. At least we have one another."

"Yeah, we do."

They kissed again, they were very happy.
