I Do Not Own CSI

"Grissoms," Dr. Ringbald said, coming into the exam room.

"Hi, Dr. Ringbald," both Sara and Gil said together.

"Well, you can tell you two are married, you speak together."

"We were doing that before we were married, Doc," Gil stated as the doctor pulled up a stool beside Sara to take a look at her cast.

"Well, that just means you're meant to be then. So Sara, are you ready to get this cast off?"

"More than, I can't wait to have full use of both my hands again and not have to worry about covering the cast when I take a shower and I can wash my hair by myself again."

"Something I'm going to miss," Gil muttered, not realizing that the other two occupants of the room heard him.

"You know, you can still shower with your wife, Gil, even have a little more fun in the process," Dr. Ringblad chuckled out.

"Yeah, honey," Sara agreed.

"Ok, so are we keeping the cast or are we throwing it out?"

"Can I keep it? There are some autographs on there I wouldn't mind looking at again."

"Sure, you just tell me where to go around," the doctor said as Sara showed him an outline of where to cut.

"You have a favourite on there, Sara," Dr. Ringbald asked as he started to take the cast off.

"Yeah, the one Gil wrote."

"Which one is that?"

"This one," Gil pointed out.

"I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you."

"Very nice, Gil, who said that?"

"Roy Croft"

"With lines like that no wonder you have a wife that wants to keep her cast."

"Well, the quote was beautiful but Greg's drawing of two mating cockroaches was funny, too."

"I never saw that."

"It was hidden on the bottom. I didn't want people to get the wrong idea when asking them questions at a crime scene. Plus he drew it on there to cheer me up after the Damien Reed case."

"Well in that case, I'm glad it's there," Gil said as the cast was split in two and he picked it up to see the drawing.

"It is kind of funny."

"Ok Sara, how's the wrist feel? Can you move it in a circle for me?"

"It's a little sore but, yeah, I can move it."

"It will be a little stiff for awhile, being as it's been in a cast for just about two months, but as long as you can rotate it you should be alright."

"What about the pins," Gil asked.

"Eventually we will take them out but seeing as Sara is pregnant, unnecessary surgery is a no go. Once the babies are born we'll find a time to take the pins out, either way it's too early for them to be out yet. They're there to help keep the bone straight and strengthen it."

"Speaking of babies, how are those two doing in there? You must be, what, four and a half months pregnant."

"Almost, I just passed the sixteen week mark on Monday. Here feel this," Sara said, placing his hand on her stomach. He felt the small kicks under his palm.

"Amazing feeling isn't it."

"That it is"

"Do we know what's in there yet?"

"Nope, only your sister knows."

"You're not finding out?"

"Keeping it a surprise," Gil said.

"And my sister?"

"A great doctor, she's taking real good care of me and these two," Sara stated with a smile.

"Good to know. Ok Sara, I think we're all good to go. All I ask is that you wear this brace for awhile longer until you have more strength in your wrist," he said, putting the brace on her hand and wrist.

"This feels so much better than a cast. I can scratch my arm now," Sara said, getting a laugh from both men.

"Hey, it sucks when you have to use a pencil to scratch you arm."

"Trust me, Sara, I know. I broke my leg when I was a kid, I feel your pain," Dr. Ringbald said as Gil helped Sara off the bed.

"So, next time I see you two, you'll be parents."

"Bye, Dr. Ringbald, and thank you, for fixing us both up," Gil said with his arm wrapped around Sara.

"The pleasure was all mine."

"Hey, no cast," was the first thing out of Greg's mouth when Sara walked into the break room.

"Nope, just a brace."

"Your wrist is ok," Warrick asked.

"As good as it's going to get until I have the pins taken out," She said as Jim and Gil both came into the break room.

"Ok guys, it's a slow night, no cases, so just work on your paperwork and cold ones for now. If anything comes up, Catherine, you take over."

"Where will you two be," Catherine asked.

"The lab director and sheriff want to see Gil and me for a meeting, as I was just informed ten minutes ago."

"About what?"

"Don't know, Nicky. Anyway, Catherine, you run shift."

"You got it," she said as Jim and Gil walked out of the room.

"I wonder what's going on," Sara wondered.

"You wanted to see us, sheriff," Jim said as he and Gil came into the sheriff's office.

"Yes, come on in, we have some changes we would like to make," the lab director said as the two men sat down.

TBC
