I Do Not Own CSI

"Hey Griss, you're awake," Nick said, entering the hospital room, Warrick, Catherine and Greg in tow.

"Just woke up, actually."

"How are you feeling today," Warrick asked.

"All I can say is that the drugs are wonderful," Grissom said as the team chuckled.

"Where's Sara," Greg asked with a smile.

"Our dear Greg here has a crush on your girlfriend, Gil" Catherine said, making Greg blush.

"Just a little one, but don't worry, Griss, I won't put the Sanders charm on her."

"Sorry Greg, but giving Sara bad pick up lines is not charm," said Nick.

"Hey, they made her laugh! Man, Griss, how did you nail a woman like her?"

"And where is said woman," Nick asked.

"I sent her back to my house last night with Mom. They were both exhausted. She'll probably be here soon."

"Jim said she's coming to work at CSI on grave."

"Really," Gil asked.

"You didn't know? He said he offered the job to Sara a couple days ago," Warrick added.

"She never said anything, but then again I've been pretty out of it. Right now is the first time I feel somewhat lucid."

"Ok, I want details. How did you meet, and to quote Greg how did you nail a woman like her? And how did Jim meet her? Why have we never met your mom before and how come I never knew about your girlfriend," Catherine rattled off.

"Catherine, slow down, please, you're going to give me a headache even with the painkillers."

"Well start talking before you get one then."

"We met at the forensic conference out in San Francisco, about a year and a half ago, I was lecturing."

"And she just happened to be in your audience," Nick asked with a smile.

"She was and she asked way too many questions. I actually had to cut her off so I could answer other people's questions. She didn't like that too much."

"That's because I was trying to get up the nerve to ask you to dinner. I was nervous," Sara said from the doorway with a smile, coming to sit on the other side of Gil's bed.

"Go on, we want details now," Greg said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"After I finished answering everyone else's questions the room started to filter out and Sara came up to me and started asking me more questions. You must have rattled off ten questions in two minutes flat."

"Like I said, nerves."

"Anyway, the room was needed again so we had to leave but I suggested we go for coffee so I could answer her questions, coffee led to dinner and…"

"And…" Catherine said with a smile.

"And the rest is history, Catherine," Gil supplemented.

"So all these times you went out of town for a few days a time you were going to San Francisco," Warrick asked.

"About half the time, I came here quite a few times as well," Sara replied.

"And I'm guessing that's how Jim found out," Nick asked.

"Someone say my name," Jim said, coming in the room.

"Gil was just going to tell us why you knew he had a girlfriend and we were left in the dark."

Just as Catherine said that Sara's phone went off and the song "Black Velvet" sounded throughout the room causing Gil to smirk and Jim to blush while Sara slightly laughed.

"What did we miss here," Catherine asked, seeing the silent messages passed between the three.

"I have to take this, it's my boss from San Francisco," Sara said, still chuckling as she left the room.

"You know, I can't listen to that song anymore without the visual," Jim said looking at Gil.

"But it taught you to knock first."

"Hey, we're still here and still in the dark," Nick said confused.

"One weekend about six months ago, I had off because Sara was coming to Vegas."

"Booty call," Greg coughed, getting smiles from everyone else and the look from Grissom.

"Anyway, we were enjoying ourselves when Jim decided to pop by for a drink."

"And I could hear music playing from Gil's house when I walked up to the door, and by the way I did knock you just didn't hear it."

"I was a little busy at the time."

"Yeah, I think you were rounding third if I remember correctly. Here I am, just wanting to have a drink with my friend and trying to figure out why he was listening to Black Velvet when I walked into his living room to see an almost naked Sara straddling Gil on the couch. Her back was to me at the time, I was just about to walk out the door when Gil looked up and said my name."

"I was a little confused when Gil here was saying a man's name while I was on top of him," Sara said, joining the gang again.

"Until I motioned behind me and you saw that we had a visitor."

"I believe that's when Sara yelped and squished herself into Gil. I believe your face was buried somewhere between," Jim motioned to his own chest, making everyone laugh.

"Well, when you're half naked in front of a stranger you kind of want to disappear," Sara said.

"I can agree with you there. I had to shake my ass in four inch heals to get by a long time ago," Catherine said.

"Then we went from embarrassed to awkward. Jim didn't know whether to stay or go, I was being held onto for deal life and-"

"You were laughing," Sara finished.

"What else was I supposed to do? And looking back on it now, you think it's funny, too."

"Fair enough. Anyway, Jim went into the kitchen while Sara and I got our clothes back on, and that is the story of how Jim found out."

"And I now know that if you have music playing not to come around," Jim added.

"So how come you never told any of us, Gil?"

"My private life is just that, Catherine, private. The time Sara and I got together we just wanted to be together. And the fact that she lives in San Francisco and not here doesn't help."

"But you will be living here, right Sara," Nick asked.

"Looks like it. You guys ready for a new team member," Sara asked.

"I think another female on the team would be nice. As much as I love you guys, we just need some more females around," Catherine said.

"More brain power, right," Warrick said.

"And she has a lot of it," Gil added, his eyes drooping slightly.

"I think that's our queue to go. Guys, go home and get some sleep before shift."

"Good idea, Jim, see you two later," Warrick said as he Nick and Greg left.

"I'm with them, Eddie has Lindsay this morning but I have to pick her up from school at three. Get some rest, Gil."

"Bye Cath."

"You staying, Sara," Jim asked.

"Yeah"

"Meet me in the cafeteria at five, we can get a bite to eat and go over some of your transfer paperwork so we can get you started here soon. Sleep well, Gil," Jim said as he left.

"Come here," Gil said, moving over in his bed a little bit.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, just go easy on me," he said as Sara climbed in the small bed and lay on her side, cuddled up to Gil.

"Are you ok with me coming to work here," She whispered out.

"More than, we'll finally be able to have a real relationship. We'll be able to see each other everyday, not once a month. Plus I get to work with you and I love working with you."

"I love you, Gil."

"Mmm, love you, too," Gil said as his eyes shut completely.
