The next morning Grissom awoke to Sara's warm breath on his chest, he smiled and looked at the sleeping beauty who rested on him, he brought up his hand and stroked the side of her cheek gently, basking in the feeling that he could do this after waiting so long, he was sure he was in heaven or asleep at the least but he knew he didn't get those kind of feelings in his dreams no matter how much he may have wanted them.

Sara stirred and opened her eyes slowly while adjusting to the light of the room that the bright sunny Vegas provided., she looked up and caught Grissom's loving gaze, she smiled at the warmth that his eyes provided, she sat up and leaned on her elbow and placed a hand on Grissom's chest.

"Hi" Sara said smiling a little at the fact that she was in her bosses bed and loving every second of it.

Smiling back at her and leaning towards her, he put his lips to hers and lingered there for a few seconds and pulled away.

"Hi" he smiled back.

"How are you"? Grissom managed to speak out before Sara did.

"I'm great actually, and your self"? She asked while making small circles on Grissom's chest with her index finger.

"Never better, I'm feeling a little hungry, but not for food". Grissom stated as he smiled mischievously.

Smiling widely at Grissom's last statement, she straddled him and put her hands on his shoulders.

"I can help with that" Sara said as she leaned down and placed a passionate kiss on Grissom's lips, getting a throaty response from him.

………………………………...

Grissom and Sara had just entered the brake room where the team were all sitting, Sara took a seat next to Greg and Grissom stood at the head of the table with assignments in hand waiting to give them out.

Catherine smiled at Sara and gave her a wink, making sure she was okay and Sara smiled back to let her know that she was fine, well better than fine but Catherine didn't need to know.

"Right guys we have a busy night ahead of us so there will be some solo work going on, so lets get down to it".

But before Grissom had a chance to talk through the assignments he was stopped with Nick interrupting his boss and standing up.

"Am I the only one that's going to say anything about what happened to Sara or are we going to pretend it didn't happen" he said in an angry voice that Grissom hasn't even mentioned it.

"Nick we are dealing with it, calm down, me and Catherine are onto it, in the mean time I have three homicides in three different parts of town and I need you Greg and Warrick to go check them out, you think you can handle it"? Grissom said looking at Nick sternly as if telling him this is not the place or the time.

Sighing loudly and sitting back down Nick clenched his teeth and put his hands on the table palms down and looked up to his boss.

"Yeah I can handle it".

"Good" Grissom handed the team their slips and they got up and left the room all showing Sara has their full support either through a smile or a hand on the shoulder.

Now it was just Grissom, Sara and Catherine left in the room and Grissom sat down in the seat that Greg was situated in moments before.

"Okay Cath what did you get off the clothes that you took from Hank"?

Taking a deep breath she sat up and looked at Grissom.

"Well what I got was, evidence that you had handled him, we have you epithelia's on some of his clothing".

"Yeah that doesn't matter to me Cath anything to relate to Sara's assault". Grissom said looking a little agitated.

"That's where it gets interesting, he is saying that he was nowhere near Sara, but evidence is telling us other wise, I found Sara's hair, blood, skin cells and remnants of tears all on his clothing there is no way that he can claim they got there by accident".

Catherine looked at Sara and noticed she looked relieved, as did Grissom when she turned her head to look at him.

"Also I printed your apartment keys Sara, and his prints are on them which supports you statement about him opening the door with them, the cats out of the bag, lets go put him back in". Catherine said looking very pleased with herself while standing up and leaving the room to go and talk to Brass.

Grissom turned to Sara and held her hand under the table so no one saw.

"Are you okay Sara" he said quietly while looking into her eye's.

Smiling faintly at him she squeezed his hand and let out a small laugh.

"Why do they think that they can fool us, and yes I am okay he deserves everything he has got coming to him".

"Good, now lets go see about putting him away shall we".

Grissom stood up and pulled Sara along with him, they walked to an interrogation room where Hank was being interviewed by Brass and Catherine, Grissom and Sara walked into the small room to look in on what he was saying and they were not alone.

Nick, Warrick and Greg were all watching through the glass at the interview, Nick and Warrick were stood up near the glass both with their arms folded tightly across their chests and Greg was leaning against the edge of a table with a frown on.

Grissom cleared his throat and walked himself and Sara through the doorway.

Greg was the only one who turned around at hearing his boss come through the door, he pushed himself off the table and straightened himself out and stood up straight stuttering nervously to try and provide an explanation as to why he wasn't on his case.

Warrick and Nick didn't really move they were engrossed with the accusations that Hank was making against a co-worker and a friend.

Raising an eye brow and turning his head to Sara he shrugged and they both made their way further into the room, walking to the end of the glass where there was space, while passing a frozen Greg Sanders. Sara couldn't help but let out a quiet giggle at how the quiet introverted man she made love to the night before could stop a full grown man in his tracks, make him so nervous that he couldn't string a sentence together and make him freeze physically.

They all stood there watching the interview transfixed on every word that fell out of the paramedics mouth, they couldn't believe that he was willing to lie his way out of this knowing that everything he was being accused of was true and the fact that they has the physical evidence to rove it.

Brass slammed his hands down hard on the table causing an echo to run through the room.

"I'm getting tired of this boy, look we have spoken to Sara, we have gathered the evidence and we have evaluated it fully, there is no way in hell that you can weasel your way out of this the evidence is just to strong so do us all a favour and confess to assaulting an officer of the law so I can go home and catch the new episode of Boston Legal, okay".

Hank sighed and cracked his knuckles and turned his head from side to side.

"Okay, look yeah I was there I gave her a ride home, I walked her to her door like a gentleman and then she invited me in and things got physical".

"Yeah things got physical alright but more along the lines of your fist hitting her face before she was even in her flat, so that excuse is out of the window, got any more we need to know about, you should do your self a favour because assaulting anyone like that isn't a good thing when it comes to court, but to assault a criminalist well your asking for time". Catherine said while getting a little bit more vexed with each of his lame excuses.

Hank's face began to redden and he let out a long huff.

"Alright I admit it, I did those things to Sara but she deserved it she could never love me like she loved that freaking Grissom guy, so I hit on her physically. But I got my comeuppance didn't I, who do you think did this to my face it sure as hell wasn't Sara but her bloody Grissom in shining armour".

Back in the small observation room all the guys looked back at Grissom when they herd that it was Grissom who had given Hank the beating.

"Whoa boss man, that was you, respect my friend" Warrick said while shaking Grissom's hand.

"Good going, and I'm sorry about earlier I guess I should have known you would have done something about it". Nick said as he patted his boss on his back.

"Wow remind me never get on your wrong side again". Greg joked as he smiled at Grissom.

Breathing in deeply and feeling a little uncomfortable about the topic of conversation he smiled and turned back to Sara.

"Um….thanks guys, Sara can I talk to you out side please". Grissom motioned to the exit with his head.

Sara obliged and walked towards the exit and stood outside the door waiting for Grissom.

Grissom came out of the room and made sure the door closed properly behind him, he smiled and walked them down the hallway a little.

"Um Sara is what Hank said true". He asked nervously while playing with his fingers.

"What, about me loving him, yeah its true, I never loved him". Sara said knowing full well that wasn't what Grissom had meant.

"No Sara that's not it, um how can I say this".

But Grissom was interrupted when Sara's hand placed its self in his and held tightly.

"I know what you mean, and yes I do love you, so you can push me away now and go and hide in your office for a couple of days if you want to". Sara said knowing that this is how Grissom reacts to most things involving her but instead he stayed where he was, just looking at her and studying her face.

"I'd be a fool to do that again, I've learnt my lesson this time. To many times I have come close to loosing you, I don't want to loose you, ever In fact, I love you Sara Sidle and I don't care who knows it, I want to be with you for eternity and I feel that may not be enough time to catch up on the things I missed out on, but I want to try at least, nothing is going to hold us back not even Ecklie".

Tears welled up in Sara's eyes and she gazed in to the blue whirl pools that were devoting them selves to her, Grissom was hers at her mercy and she could see that, she could see how venerable he is feeling and it made her love him even more, Sara managed to speak out a few words.

"For real" she said now sniffling with tears running down their cheeks.

Smiling, he put his thumb to her cheek and wiped away the tears that were flowing, he looked into her eyes and nodded, answering her question.

Both smiling Grissom released his hand from Sara's grasp and pulled her close to him so that they're bodies were touching, he cupped the side of her face and brought his face down to hers.

Their lips met each other in a passionate fire of lust longing and desire, they had never fitted to another person so well, their bodies pressed further into each other again, cheers and whistles were coming down from the hallway from the grave yard shift at seeing what they have all waited years to see.

"Wohhhhhhhhhhhhh, Grissom!" Warrick shouted at his boss for finally getting his woman.

"Go on girl get you man" Catherine shouted also while trying to hold back the tears of joy threatening to over whelm her.

While Greg and Nick stood with their arms over each others shoulders swaying back and forth in a drunkenly fashion and shouting.

"Woooo woooo wooooo ah bless em "Nick half shouted.

Grissom and Sara parted and Grissom rested his forehead on Sara's.

"At least we don't have to worry about telling them" Grissom smiled greatly at the sight before him.

Sara nodded and smiled back.

"I think we better move before we get a bigger crowd than we already have".

Smiling at each other Grissom let go of Sara and they turned to face the team when they noticed they were all running towards them, both Grissom and Sara looked petrified as the team huddled around them and pulled them into a bone crushing hug.

They both got big hugs from every member of the team several times and then they were finally put back on the ground.

Catherine walked behind Grissom and Sara and put her arms around their shoulders.

"I think I speak on behalf of the whole team when I say its about time, now lets all go out and celebrate" Catherine said as she kissed and hugged Grissom and Sara.

"Well done Gil I knew you would get your head out of that microscope eventually" Catherine said into Grissom's ear.

………………………………...

The team finished up what they were doing and were all planning to meet up at a bar.

Sara was getting her jacket out of her locker and when she closed it she saw Grissom stood leaning against the locker next to hers.

"Why hello there" Sara said while putting her jacket on.

"Hello there to you too" Grissom said as he wrapped his arms around Sara's waist and held her tightly to him.

"You ready, our celebratory night is ahead of us you know" Grissom said while looking into Sara's eye's.

"I'm ready and your seeming very adamant that we are celebrating, your not going to let me slip through your fingers again"? she asked teasing him a little while pressing herself against him.

"Not this time, honey" Grissom said as he lowered his head and pulled them into a passionate kiss.

The End.
