I Do Not Own CSI

"Greg, ten bucks says they're late," Nick said as again, the team all waited for Grissom and Sara before the lecture started.

"I'll take that, twenty says they're here before the lecture starts."

"After yesterday, they're going to be late. What do you think, Rick, you want in on this?"

"Nope, because I only place smart bets, with those two I have no clue what's going to come next."

"Catherine, come on, what do you think? Are they going to be late?"

"I dunno, Nicky, they seemed to be pretty cozy on the dance floor last night so you can probably bet that they didn't get much sleep last night, so the odds of them sleeping in is pretty good, but…"

"But…"

"But they were kind of singled out yesterday after they walked in late, and seeing how those two blushed, you could tell that they were embarrassed. So they might be on time today."

"Get ready to pay up, Greg, the professor is getting her stuff ready," Nick said, rubbing his hands together.

"They still have two minutes, Nick, the money is not yours yet."

"I'm just sayin-"

"That you owe me twenty, Griss and Sara just walked in the door."

"Dammit, they couldn't have stayed holed up in their room for one more minute," he said, slapping twenty buck in Greg's hand.

"Betting on us again," Sara said with a smile.

"Yes," Nick grumbled.

"And I'm guessing you lost," Grissom asked.

"Nick hasn't won one bet since we got here, Gil," Jim laughed out as the professor came to the front of the class.

"Hello everyone, I'm Professor Lang, but please call me…"

"Melissa," Gil said, slumping in his seat somewhat.

"Who's that," Sara whispered.

"Remember that ex girlfriend I told you about?"

"The one that you stopped seeing after we met?"

"Yeah"

"Oh God, that's not her, is it," Sara whispered.

"Afraid so"

"Think we can just sneak out of here," Gil asked as the lecture came to a close. He was pretty sure he wasn't noticed as he kept his head mostly down and he was slumped further in his seat.

"Yeah, I think I would like to avoid an awkward confrontation, if possible," Sara replied as they grabbed their stuff and made their way towards the back exit.

"Hey you two, where you going," Warrick called.

"Lunch, you coming," Sara replied back as Gil kept going.

"Yeah, hey Sara, what's up with Gil," Catherine asked.

"The professor... ex- girlfriend, we're trying to avoid her."

"Man, Gil really got around when he went to these things, didn't he?"

"You make it sound like Gil slept with every woman he met, Cath, trust me he didn't."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Positive"

"So what's the deal with this dinner thing tonight, do we have to go," Nick asked as they sat down to eat.

"You don't have to go but I would recommend that you do," Gil replied.

"Yeah, who knows, maybe you'll meet someone," Sara joked.

"Yeah, you could have some long distance torrid affair that only few people know about," Greg said, wiggling his eyebrows as he looked at Grissom and Sara.

"Hey, our relationship was long distance but it wasn't an affair," Sara corrected before she stuffed another bite of her pasta into her mouth.

"Hungry much, Sara," Warrick joked.

"Hey, lay off the eating thing, she's carrying twins," Gil said with a raised eyebrow.

"What eating thing," Sara asked.

"Uh oh," Jim whispered to Catherine.

"There is no eating thing, honey. It's just that your appetite has increased somewhat in the last few weeks."

"Are you calling me fat?"

"Nooo, just that you have been eating more, honey," Gil said slowly.

"You are calling me fat," Sara said, pushing herself out of the booth as she went into the bathroom.

"What just happened here," Gil asked.

"That, my friend, is pregnancy hormones at its best," Jim laughed out.

"If I were you, Gil, I would go after Sara. Calm her down and make her understand that you were not calling her fat," Catherine said as Gil nodded and went to go after his hormonal wife.

"Man, if she's like this going into her eleventh week I'm afraid of what she's going to be like in her 30th week," Jim mumbled.

"If you guys got through me, I'm sure Sara will be a walk in the park," Catherine assured.

"Sara, honey, can you come out of the bathroom," Gil asked.

"No, you think I'm fat! Just because my jeans are starting to get too tight does not make me fat!"

"Sara, honey, you're not fat; you're carrying two babies. Please come out, I didn't mean to make you upset, honey."

"You don't think I'm fat," Sara asked, opening the door a bit.

"No, I don't. I think you're beautiful and very sexy," Gil said as he pulled her into an embrace.

"Can we go back to the hotel, I don't really feel much like socializing anymore," Sara mumbled.

"Yeah, we can stay there until the dinner tonight," he said, pulling back and kissing her on the forehead.

"I love you, honey, don't you ever forget that."

"I'll never get tired of hearing you say that. And I love you back," she said as Gil pulled her back to the table.

"We're going to head out, guys. We'll see you later tonight."

"Don't get into too much trouble," Nick chided playfully.

"Bye, guys"

"Holy crap," Sara said from the bathroom.

"What? Is something wrong," Gil asked.

"Yes, something is very wrong. Gil, look at these," Sara said turning around, naked from her waist up.

"Is something wrong with your breasts, Sara, because they look quite alright to me," he said with a smile coming into the room.

"They grew, like seriously grew, can you not see this," Sara said, turning back into the mirror. I knew they would get bigger, but not this fast, and I'm not even into my second trimester yet!"

"Well, just an added bonus for me, then," Gil said, coming up behind her and cupping them.

"Ohhh, Gil, let go, please! They're kind of tender."

"Sorry," Gil said, backing away.

"No, Gil, its ok. We just might have to avoid the boobs a little bit."

"So sex-"

"-Is still a go," Sara said, closing the gap between them.

"You two are over an hour late," Jim said.

"I don't think there was an actual time we were scheduled to be here, Jim," Gil corrected as he and Sara walked into the banquet room, hand in hand.

"I take it everything's alright between you two now," Catherine asked.

"We're fine. I swear, these hormones are throwing me for a loop."

"Trust me, if Gil could stand me and my constant bitchiness during my pregnancy, you will be a walk in the park."

"It wasn't that bad, Catherine."

"Thanks for being nice, Gil, but yeah, it was. And I will admit that now."

"But we survived and Lindsay came out of the deal, so all is well," Nick added as the music started to play.

"Come on, my dear, dance with your husband."

"Well, how could I turn that down," Sara asked as she threw her good arm around Gil's neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"One more lecture, then we get four days to ourselves," Gil whispered.

"I can't wait. I want to be able to have you all to myself; just us, no team."

"That makes two of us," he said as they swayed to the music.

"Gil, is that you," the tall blonde asked from behind the couple.

"Hi, Melissa"
