Fairytale 4?
By Sassy
Sara didn't feel well. Her head hurt and her body ached. Grissom called in a personal day to stay home and take care of the kids.
He checked on her throughout the day and brought her soup, and lay down with her while the children napped.
"You feeling better?" he asked, snuggling her close to his chest.
"I must have caught whatever Ryan had a few days ago." She traced a finger over his chest. "My head doesn't hurt as much."
"That's good." He rubbed her back. "Kacee made you a card." He pulled it from his pocket.
Sara cried as he read the card to her.
"Baby Girl, what is wrong?" he asked as he pulled her tighter, her sobs shaking her body.
"I've been laying in this bed all day thinking about what if you hadn't called me to Vegas." Sara's sobs grew louder. "I wouldn't have you or the babies."
…Flashback…
"I need you." Grissom's voice was low and almost defeated.
"What's wrong?" Her voice was full of concern.
He filled her in on Holly Gribbs.
"I'll be on the next flight." she said as her heart began to hurt for him.
"Thank you." With those two words, he'd hung up.
A few hours later, she stood back and watched him work. The dummies falling from the roof made her smile. He was always the scientist.
"Norman fell. Norman pushed. Norman jumped." he said to himself while snapping the photographs.
"Wouldn't you if you were married to Mrs. Roper?" Sara had to fight to keep her voice steady. She wanted to reach out to him, but she had to resist that urge. Work was the reason why she was here.
"I don't even have to turn around." Grissom's voice was a little too happy. "Sara Sidle."
"That's me." She watched him turn toward her. The grin on his face was enough to let her know how happy he was to see her.
…End Flashback…
Her tears slowly subsided as he held her tighter. "Sara, honey, I shouldn't have taken so long to tell you how I felt."
That conversation would have to wait until later because a little curly brown headed girl was peeking through the door.
Sara spotted her. "Come here, Shutterbug."
Kacee's smiled brightly and skittered into the room. "Feeling better, Momma?"
"Yes, Kacee. I'll be good as new tomorrow." She smiled at Grissom. "I love you."
"I love you too." He said as he hugged his girls tight.
