Sara stretched her arms above her head, hitting the wall and yawned; She had slept incredibly good for once.
"I wonder how long I was asleep," She whispered to herself as she rolled out of bed.
She stumbled over to Liz's crib and was shocked to see the infant wasn't there.
"Gil?" She called as she walked out to the living room, swaying as she went; She really wasn't awake enough to walk.
A sigh of relief escaped her lips as she saw Gil sitting on the couch with Liz in his arms.
"Hi. Did you sleep well?" He asked, glancing up at her as she walked over to the couch.
Sara nodded.
"Yeah. Really good; I was worried when I didn't see Liz in her crib," She turned to the baby, "Hi sweetie! Momma is going to hold you when Daddy is done."
Gil smiled lovingly at Sara; He couldn't form the words to explain how much of a good mother she was.
"Well Mommy can hold you now and I will go make breakfast."
He handed Liz to Sara, who eagerly accepted the child.
Just as he stood up to go to the kitchen, a knock came from the door.
Sara and Gil looked at each other with quizzical stares.
With a shrug, he half jogged to the door and opened it.
"Hi!" Catherine greeted as Gil let her in.
Sara carefully stood up and walked over to her.
"Hi! How are you?" She asked as Catherine gave her a hug.
"I'm good," She replied, gazing down at Liz, who for once was not kicking up a storm.
"Oh my God, she is so adorable!"
Sara beamed; She felt the same way.
"So what's up?" Sara asked as she led the way over to the couch; Liz had begun kicking again and it was getting rather difficult to hold her.
The two plopped down on the sofa while Gil started breakfast; Cereal for Sara, as it was her favorite and eggs for him.
"I wanted to see if Gil could come in to the lab tonight. Just for a while; We've been a little shorthanded," She said with a hint of happiness in her voice.
Sara cocked her head to one side but didn't ask about Catherine had just said.
She was placing pillows around squirming Liz; The infant was laying on the couch. She had been wiggling far too much so Sara decided to let her wear herself out, under careful watch of course.
"Why have you been understaffed?" Sara inquired.
Catherine sat up a little straighter.
"Greg and Warrick have been sick; They each have the flu. During their shift when it was a slow night, they were playing video games and couldn't stop coughing and sneezing. So I sent them home," She took a deep breath. "And Sofia got fired."
Sara's eyebrows shot up and Gil dropped the spatula he had been using.
"Fired?" Sara repeated in astonishment.
She had never gotten along with Sofia; From the first day they met, Sara knew they were enemies.
Sofia was constantly flirting with Gil; It pissed Sara off. She knew she shouldn't be mad because she and Gil had not been a couple at the time, but she also knew that Sofia was damaging her chances.
"Yep. She kept flirting with everybody; Oh and she missed a huge piece of evidence on a murder case," Catherine giggled.
Sara absent mindedly tickled Liz's feet.
"Really? What kind of evidence?"
Catherine giggled some more.
"She and Nicky had been working a scene and Nick had to keep bending over to pick up evidence; She missed the murder weapon because she was staring at his ass!"
Sara's jaw dropped and Gil was sniggering uncontrollably.
"She actually said that?" Sara asked, still not believing her ears.
"Yeah! Ecklie was talking to her about it and she came right out and said it! Nick was embarrassed for days…"
"Oh my God," Sara laughed.
"That's what I thought. She wasn't doing her job so he fired her."
Catherine wiped her eyes as she glanced down at Liz.
"May I hold her? She's so cute," She asked Liz wrapped her hand around Catherine's index finger.
"Yeah, go ahead," Sara replied as she stood up and walked over to Gil, who was just finishing his eggs.
"Hey, I wasn't sure if you'd want your breakfast now or later," He mumbled with his mouth half full.
"It's okay, I can make it myself," She pulled a bowl out of the cupboard directly in front of her. "Thanks so much for taking care of Liz. I really enjoyed my sleep."
Gil swallowed his mouthful as he jumped up from his seat; He pulled Sara into his arms and kissed her passionately.
"You are very welcome."
