Grissom awoke to a cold bed. Normally this would not be an unusual occurrence for him but he felt like he should be warmer at the moment. As his eyes adjusted to the dark he remembered that he was not in his room but in Sara's. And she was not there. He threw on his boxers and t-shirt and went off to investigate her whereabouts. Part of him, the insecure part, thought maybe she had just left, but he knew this was ridiculous because he was and her house so she would have no where to go. He heard her talking and followed her voice out to the living room. She had her back turned to him and he took a moment to observe her. She was dressed in shorts and a tank. Her hair was still dry and it was pretty frizzy. She was the most beautiful women he had ever seen.

"Well I have to work tonight because I had last night off but tomorrow in the day if you are free or I could try to get a couple of days off next week if you will still be around."

He didn't know who she was talking to but he figured it was her brother. He loved the fact that her brother was back but from the little she had told him about him he worried that he may end up letting her down. Actually the only thing he knew was she had once found his bag of weed and that would have been a long time ago. Grissom decided that he was just being ridiculous and that her brother seemed like a very nice guy and Sara was obviously delighted by the fact that he was back in her life.

He was brought out of his thoughts by Sara ending her conversation. She still hadn't realized that he was in the room so he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. It made her jump at first but she quickly relaxed in her arms. They stayed like that for quite a while both equally surprised by the lack of awkwardness. They both had secretly feared that they could have a great night of passion and their personalities would make the next steps even harder.

Grissom finally broke the silence by asking who was on the phone.

"Jeremy."

"Your brother?"

She nodded her head and lead Grissom over to the couch where they curled up.

"Do you need some time off next week?" Grissom wanted to give her everything she wanted and as her boss he could give her time off for family reasons.

"I'm not sure. Jeremy's not sure how long they are going to be in Vegas for. They were only planning on staying a week but he is off for two so maybe if they stay."

"Ok. Just let me know."

Sara stood up and stretched and started down the hallway.

"Where are you going?"

"I need a shower." Grissom remained seated on the couch. He thought about making breakfast so they could eat when Sara was done showering.

"Aren't you going to join me?" Sara asked with a wink as she peeked out of the bathroom.

Grissom's eyes went wide open. He couldn't be luckier. "Of course I am."

Jeremy was up and had ordered breakfast for his family to eat before their day of site seeing. Heather was still asleep but Brittany was up chatting nonstop to Jeremy. He felt horrible that he wasn't really listening to her talk but he couldn't stop his mind from wondering to how he could get Heather to agree to relocate to Vegas.

Brittany stopped talking long enough to eat some of the grapes that her father had put in front of her. "Me like these." Jeremy smiled at her, she always liked grapes.

He thought maybe he could get Brittany and Heather to like Vegas by taking a more family friendly trip today. Perhaps they could find a good neighborhood with a good school nearby and Heather would be more likely to say yes.

"Me also like it here. It Pretty."

"I like it too sweetie." Yes, he thought, I have an ally. Even if it was only the opinion of a 3 year old that he was pretty sure was just talking about the hotel which was very nice, he still would take anything he could get. If they had a family vote it would be 2-1 even if Heather said no.

Heather woke up and went to join her family in the kitchen area. She was unsure of what they were going to do that day because Jeremy would want to spend it with Sara if he could.

"Hey." Heather greeted them as she stole one of Brittany's grapes earning her a dirty look. "Thanks baby," she said popping it into her mouth. "What is on the schedule for today?"

"I thought maybe we could take a look around the area since Sara is working today."

"Hmm." Heather knew what Jeremy was doing. She also knew that they would probably be moving to Vegas pretty soon because Jeremy wouldn't give up his plan. She had recently lost her father and her mother had passed years before so she understood what it was like for to long for your family. She knew she would eventually cave to the idea and they would move to Vegas.

By the end of the week Sara and Jeremy had seen each other two more times and Jeremy was on his way back to Seattle. He had told her he needed to get some things set up at home. He didn't want to tell her that he was moving because he still had to do the paperwork and secure a job for himself.

Sara was upset that Jeremy was leaving so soon but she kept her feelings to herself and she tried to not allow herself to think that this would be the last time she saw him for years. Her and Grissom had been together a couple of times that week but with Sara trying to get in as much time with Jeremy as possible they were limited in their opportunities were slim.

Things were going well and they were able to avoid any gossip at the lab so far which was good.

Sara went to see Jeremy before he left and she managed to keep her emotions in check until after he had left. He had shed a few tears when saying goodbye but she managed to mask it all, which was something that she had became very good at over the years.

On her way back home she finally broke down and started sobbing. Without really being conscious of it she drove to Grissom's house. She made her way up to see him and knocked on the door.

When he finally opened the door he looked like he had been fast asleep. He looked into her eyes and saw the hurt in her soul. He wrapped her up in a hug and brought her into his room. He managed to get her to lie down and he laid down beside her to get her back in his arms. They didn't talk and she was happy just to be in his arms, to know that she wasn't going to be alone like when she was younger. They said that way until Sara had cried herself to sleep.

Brass received a request for transfer from the Seattle Police Department. Since he was in need of another homicide detective he looked at the resume of the officer. Jeremy Sidle. That's weird. I wonder if he is somehow related to Sara. His resume was superb and he would come highly recommended. Jim decided he would offer the guy an interview after he checked with Sara. On the off chance they were related he didn't want to be the one she was angry at if he brought in her crazy cousin or someone she did not get along with.

He found Sara and Nick in the lab looking over photos of their crime scene.

"Sara, can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"I received a request for transfer from an officer in Seattle named Jeremy Sidle. Do you know him?"

Her only response was a large grin.

You guys make me smile:)
