Thanks for the reviews
Two hours later and
they had finished processing the scene.
"Do you think we should
wake her?" asked Greg looking at Sara who was now haphazardly
balanced between the bathtub and a blood pool, where she had fallen
asleep while packing her kit up.
"Well, something been keeping
her awake all night." mocked Cath to a disgusted Greg.
"Catherine,
I can just about handle Grissom taking the love of my life away but
that is to much. I'll just have to settle for being her knight in
shinning armour." he mocked, carefully picking her up and carrying
her out.
"Would Warrick carry you?" he asked Catherine.
"Shut
it and move." she replied, gently kicking his leg.
"Now should I wake
her?" asked Greg, amazed that Sara had slept all the way back to
the lab.
"Well I don't think she'll appreciate you carrying
her in." replied Catherine. "Sara." She gently shuck her
shoulder.
"Sara!" shouted Greg, getting more of a
response.
"What?" she asked rubbing her eyes and sitting
up.
"You fell asleep at the scene. Now we're back at the lab"
explained Greg.
"I'm going to have to speak to the boss about
things keeping you up all night." mocked Cath getting out.
"Nothing
kept me up." replied Sara not catching on.
"Hey." smiled
Warrick hugging Catherine, who started making choking noises and
backing off.
"You smell like death." commented Greg, going by
both Warrick and Nick.
"Actually, we smell like a four month
decomp." smiled Nick as Sara backed off sharpish.
"Oh come on,
you've smelt worse." moaned Warrick
"I'll shower you"
smiled Cath grabbing Warrick's arm and leading him away.
"Who's
going to shower me?" asked Nick as Judy walked by staring at
him.
"Sorry, too busy" replied Sara disappearing in search of
Grissom.
Grissom returned to his
office to find a pile of files spread across the floor. The cause of
this was Sara Sidle who was half laid across his desk. The top half
of her body was slumped across his desk, pens had fallen out his
holder and lodged themselves in with her hair that was laid across
her face. One arm hung of the side, clearly having knocked the files
off. Grissom felt he could have stood all day and watched her sleep,
but the sharp coughing of Catherine behind him indicated he should
probably wake her up.
"Sara." he called going in and shutting
the door.
"Sara." he shuck her gently as she came too.
"Did
I fall asleep again?" she asked looking around to see the mess
he had caused. "Oh sorry." she mumbled bending down to pick the
files up.
"Leave them," said Grissom pulling her arm away so
that he was stood holding her.
"I should probably go. I have
work," said Sara, trying to ignore the fact she could feel his
breath on her neck.
"You are going home." Grissom informed
her.
"Home?" questioned Sara
"Yes, there's only twenty
minutes of shift left and you could use some sleep." replied
Grissom
"Sleep. I'll have plenty of time for that while you're
away" Sara said whining the last word for added effect.
"One
night Sara." smiled Grissom "The conference is only one night."
he added hugging her and pulling her tighter.
"I know, that's
one night without you." she said kissing him.
"I think you'll
mange. Anyway we'll just have to make tonight count." he added,
kissing her back.
"You've been watching the movie channel
again." laughed Sara pulling away leaving almost walking directly
into Catherine.
"How are you going to mange without each other?"
mocked Catherine as Sara walked off down the corridor.
"It's
not Sara I'm worried about, it's leaving you in the lab." said
Grissom as Catherine gave him a warning look.
"Well that's
because we're her to look after Sara. It's you looking after
yourself, having to talk to other people. Oh, and I'm ignoring your
comment about the lab," she added smiling.
Grissom came home to
find Sara asleep on the couch, her coat still on, indicating she fell
asleep as soon as she got in. Carefully, Grissom picked her up and
carried her to the bedroom. This wasn't quite the way he had
planned on undressing Sara but watching her sleep peacefully would do
for now.
Sara awoke to find it dark. Not only that, but she wasn't
where she remembered. She was in bed with Grissom wearing a pair of
pyjamas she defiantly didn't put on. She lent over and looked at
the clock.
"Four." she sighed, rolling over trying to drift of
to sleep again. After ten minutes she gave up and decided to get up
and make a drink. She was quietly going around the kitchen trying not
to wake Grissom. She made a coffee, only when she made it she found
she didn't want it. In fact the smell of it was turning her
stomach. She must be coming down with something. That would explain
why she was tired. Instead Sara went back and slipped under the
sheets with Grissom.
This time it was Grissom who woke up first.
He slipped out to make them both a drink. When he came back into the
room Sara was awake and sitting up.
"Sorry about last night;
guess I was more tired than I realised" she said smiling.
"That's
okay. It wasn't what I had in mind though." he added smiling,
putting down a coffee on the table next to Sara for her.
The smell
of the coffee this time was too much and she bolted form he bed
leaving Grissom confused and almost tipping his own drink down
himself as she pushed by him.
"Sara, are you okay?" he
called putting his drink down. He was answered by the sound of the
bathroom door slamming and the unpleasant sound coming from the
bathroom.
"Sara?" he knocked on the door, not to sure if he
should go in or not. Instead he waited outside as he heard the toilet
flush. A very pale Sara then emerged form the bathroom clinging onto
the door handle.
"Here." he took her other arm and slowly lead
her back to the bedroom.
"Feel better?" he asked as she sat
back down on the bed wiping at her mouth.
"No." she replied
laying down.
"Why didn't you tell me you didn't feel well?"
he asked, assuming that was why she had been so tired.
"I felt
fine. Well, mostly." said Sara closing her eyes.
"Your not
warm." said Grissom feeling her forehead "Do you still feel
sick?"
"Not as much." replied Sara already half
asleep.
Grissom decided it was best to let her sleep as she wasn't
feeling well. He lay a blanket over her and left, placing the trash
can on the floor near her in case she got sick again.
"Hello."
snapped Catherine answering her phone. "Lindsey your going to be
late!" cried Catherine holding the phone away and shouting as
Lindsey waved and ran out the front door.
"Catherine." 'Oh
great' though Catherine. 'I'm going to be late and he's ringing
me already.'
"Yes," replied Cath, trying to put her shoes on
and balance the phone on her shoulder.
"Sara's sick so she's
not going to be in today. I'm going stay with her, okay,"
"Hey,
you to just want to spend your last day been together and we get
stuck with the work?" laughed Catherine, finding it funny that
Grissom would actually miss work to spend time with Sara.
"No,
believe me this was not what I had in mind." His tone was so
serious Catherine had to believe him.
"Okay, well have fun at
the conference tomorrow. If you want someone to check in on her while
you're away ask Nick. There's no way I'm fighting a sick Sara
Sidle" smiled Cath, hanging up.
"I have to, why shouldn't
you?" sighed Grissom putting the phone down.
