Summary: Grissom gives Catherine a quick lecture


Grissom watched as his pregnant wife slept on the couch. He gently kissed her temple and rubbed her stomach before he left the office.

Grissom grabbed an apple and sat at the table in the break room. He looked at the newspaper that had a crossword puzzle on it.

"Tempted?" Sara asked as she entered the break room.

"What?" Grissom asked taking another bite of his apple.

"Are you tempted to do that cross word puzzle?"

"No I was just debating weather or not I should do it."

"Well why not do it?" Sara asked.

"Why are we talking about me doing the cross word puzzle?"

"Because you haven't given me or anyone else an assignment yet and Ecklie is getting a little suspicious." Sara said changing the subject.

"I was going to hand out assignments when Greg and Nick got in. And Ecklie hasn't given me all of the assignments yet." Grissom took another bite of his apple and looked at Sara.

Sara smiled back at him. Was he flirting or teasing. Or maybe it was just her imagination. Of course it was. Grissom loved Catherine with all his heart and was still getting use to being with such a beautiful woman.

"Thanks." Catherine said grabbing the apple from Grissom's hand. Grissom looked up surprisingly at Catherine who took a bite out of the apple.

Catherine gave him a peck on the lips with her mouth still full of apple. Grissom looked at her in disbelief of her eating. She just had a week worth of lunch and she threw up. Putting her on a pregnancy diet was going to be hard.

"So what are we talking about in here?" Catherine asked after she had chewed the apple that was in her mouth.

"Pregnancy diets." Grissom said. He reached over to grab the apple for Catherine who shrieked and pulled back.

"Gil Grissom, have you ever taken food from a pregnant woman?" Catherine asked him with a threat in her voice.

"We'll talk about this diet later then." Grissom said to cool off the subject for the moment.

Sarah stared at the couple with a little bit of jealousy. She watched as they bickered of the smallest of things, where Catherine's chair was or whose strand of hair was on the table. Why hadn't Grissom gone out to eat breakfast with her? Why hadn't he invited her to his house? Was she not pretty enough like Catherine of just too much of a female version of him? All she knew was that he had chosen Catherine.

Sarah's thoughts were cut off as an angry Ecklie walked into the break room. He looked at Sara and then to the bickering couple.

"Why are you guys sitting on your asses on my time?"

"Were waiting for the team if you must know. Oh yea by the way, are your pants okay Conrad?"

Catherine burst into laughter not being able to stop herself. Both men and woman looked at her. She looked up still laughing with the almost finished apple in her hand.

"Sorry" she said finally stopping her laugh.

Sarah looked scrunched her eyebrows not knowing what was going on. She watched Ecklie leave the break room without saying a word.

"What happened to his pants?"
