A/N- Sorry if my chapters take a while to come, but I'm swamped with softball everyday.
Expect chapters to come probably once a week, but sometimes earlier. Today I got out early, but tomorrow practice is 'til 7pm. Hope you enjoy!
Ps. not that much camping but there is some. I promise there will be camping in ch. 5
Gil and Sara were in the car headed to shift. They were both all to excited about their next honeymoon. It was Monday and they only had three more days until their three week vacation. "So, Gil, what made you think about a second honeymoon? It's kind of random in timing and everything, don't you think?"
"Truth be told, I have been planning this for a month. I just couldn't wait to be alone with you." He confessed pulling up to the labs parking lot.
"Ahhhh, you started thinking of this whole thing after are weekend up in Mesquite on that Edwards case."
"Ya. After that weekend alone with you I realized that we never have enough alone time, together." They got out of their car and walked into the lab hand in hand. As they passed the break room Gil kissed her on the cheek and left to get assignments from his office.
She grabbed a cup of decaf coffee, which is new and now tastes half descent thanks to Gil's request, and sat down at the table waiting for assignments. "So, why are the Grissom's late?" Catherine asked with a smile on her face. Everyone had gotten in the habit of calling them that since the camping trip. They all love to make fun of them for being together, in a friendly sort of way.
"We're not late." She looked down at her watch to conform. "Oh, I guess we are." Shift had indeed started fifteen minutes ago.
"Sorry we're late." Gil walked in and holding assignment sheets in hand. "Before I give out assignment's I need to tell you something. Sara and I will be leaving for a three week vacation on Thursday and we will be handing off our case to you on Thursday. Catherine you will be a/s (acting supervisor) and taking Sara and I's case, which is a 419 in a hotel off the strip," He handed the paper to Sara and she read it. "And Nick will finish the case with Greg after Cath leaves. It shouldn't be too hard, it's said to be a B&E gone wrong and the owner of the house is in the hospital with three gun shots to the chest and leg and the robber is laying on his kitchen floor." He handed Catherine the paper before Greg could grab it to from his hands. "Warrick, that means your solo on a violent dispute on Tropicana." He handed the paper to Warrick. "Ok, let's go, Sara."
"Wait a minute. Where the hell are you two going for three weeks?" Catherine spat out before they had a chance to leave.
"Hawaii." Gil answered back. They were met with confused glances.
"Gil's taking me on a second honeymoon."
"You're so sweet, Gil." Greg said making Gil turn a bright shade of red. All the men started to laugh.
"Ya, well you all no how well the last one turned out." Gil said making everyone laugh harder. This time Gil and Sara joined in too.

"Gil, Sara! Get up and get the door!" Greg yelled from the hall.
They stirred before Grissom was able to speak, kinda. "Sara, five more minutes. I don't want to get up."
"It's not me. Someone's at the door." Sara closed her eyes snuggling closer to Gil, not wanting to get up.
"Get your butts up!" He yelled at them again.
"Greg." They both said to each other. Sara got up and grabbed her robe and slowly and lazily made her way over to the door. "Yes?" She said sleepily when she opened the door.
"You two need to get ready, we're leaving in half an hour."
"Half an hour!" she said shocked. "Why didn't you wake us up earlier?"
"We tried your phones and even the hotel room. We figured you we're awake and didn't want to be bothered, if you know what I mean."
Sara rolled her eyes. "Give us an hour? We're moving slow this morning."
"Ok, but you're explaining to Cath why we are leaving late." She rolled her eyes as she nodded and shut the door.
Making her way to the bed she saw Gil getting up, slowly. He sat at the edge of the bed. "Get up." Sara walked over to him and knelled behind him. "Come on, we got an hour 'til we leave. We can sleep in the car." A grunting noise was his only response. She started rubbing his shoulders and neck. "Come on, baby." She stopped and sauntered over to the bathroom. He stood and slowly followed her.
When he got into the bathroom, her robe lay on the floor and she was already in the shower. He pulled back the curtain and hopped into the shower. To lazy to grab his shampoo he reached for the shampoo the hotel provided. As Sara moved aside he went under the cascading water. "You awake yet, hun?" Sara started working the conditioner into her hair.
"No."

(Present time, Tuesday)
"Hey, babe?" Gil looked to find Sara standing at the door.
"Ya." He continued with his task.
"There is nothing outside that's related to the case." She walked over to him and crouched beside him. "What have you got?"
"I don't know. For now it's just dirt. I'll have Hodges run it." He collected it and stored it in his kit. He looked over at Sara. "What's with the face? You've been like that ever since you came out of the bathroom this morning. Is everything ok, are you sick?"
"I'm fine; um I kinda wanted to talk to you." He stopped what he was doing and turned fully to his wife. Knowing that he was ready to listen she began. "Well, um. I wanted to tell you that-"
"Hey, guys."
'Could Brass have timed his entrance any better?' Sara thought sarcastically.
"We found someone who matches the hotel manager's description. He is down at PD and we need one of you to process him. We need you now, or he can walk this afternoon." Brass walked closer to them.
"Sure, one sec though. Sara, what did you want to tell me?"
"Um, nothing important. It can wait."
"Are you sure?"
"Ya. I guess I'll go with Brass and we can meet up after we're done."
"Sure. I'll be finished here soon enough, so call me after you're through."
"Sure."
"Bye, sweetie"
"Bye." He gave her a quick kiss before she left with Brass. 'I'll tell him tonight.' She thought as she got into Jim's car.

Gil and Sara made their way to the car. Gil's arm was draped around Sara's shoulders each with their suitcase in hand, Gil being the gentleman he was, he cared his and one of Sara's. "Hurry up 'Grissom's'!" Brass yelled causing everyone to crack up laughing. The 'Grissom's' paid no attention what he called them.
They packed their stuff into the car and piled right back into the back of the car. Today, Nick drove with Greg in the passenger seat and the other's packed into the middle seat with Catherine in the middle of the two men. Sara laid her head on Gil's shoulder as he brought out a book; he packed in the back, and started reading. Sara closed her eye's and tried to sleep but wasn't able to thanks to the rough driving skills of Nick, and the bumpy road they were on.
"Tired you two?" Warrick teased.
Sara and Gil looked up at him. "Stop teasing." Catherine warned. "It's their honeymoon." Warrick turned back around. Gil mouthed his thanks and Cath mouthed back 'your welcome.'
Gil turned his attention back to his book and Sara went back to trying to sleep. An hour later they were stopping for lunch. They pulled over and started getting out of the car. Catherine turned around and asked, "Hey, are you coming?"
"No, I'm gonna let Sara sleep." Gil nodded to Sara's sleeping form resting on his shoulder.
"Do you want me to get you anything?"
"Sure. Can you get me a veggie burger and would you mind getting Sara a salad. She'll be hungry when she wakes up."
"Ya, I think the guys want to get out of the car so we are probably going to eat here. Is that ok?"
"Ya." Catherine left and Gil turned back to his book.
When they were back on the road it didn't take long for Sara to wake up. "Hey." Gil asked as Sara wiped the sleep from her eyes. "You hungry?"
"Ya, I am."
"I got you a salad, but if you want you can have part of my veggie burger."
"Veggie burger," she repeated, "you're learning." She smiled. "I think I'll have my salad." Gil passed her the salad and they ate quietly in the back.

(Present day, later)
Gil and Sara were seated at their dinner table just finishing their meals. As Gil cleared their plates Sara followed him into the kitchen. He turned around and was shocked at how close Sara was to him. "Do you need something?"
'Now or never,' she thought. "I still need to talk to you."
"That's right." He walked them over to the couch and sat them down.
"I wanted to tell you that-" She was cut off by their phone going off.
"I got it." He strolled off to the kitchen and grabbed the phone. After about a minute he came back and sat back down. "Brass got a lead in the case. The guy in custody said that his friend did it and he walked in on the whole thing. We gotta go and process the friends' house." She nodded and stood up. "Are you ok?"
"Ya, fine." She sighed a little too loud.
"We're off the clock, why don't you stay here and I'll go in. I won't be gone long. You should catch up on sleep, just relax." She nodded and he headed out the door but not without a goodbye kiss.

Sara and Gil woke up when they felt the car come to a sudden halt. "Wow, Nicky. Trying to kill us?" Jim chimed.
"Sorry, I almost missed are camp site." He parked the car and they got out.
Sara shook Gil a little, "Come on let's get out of this car." Sara got up and jumped the seat before Gil could get up. Gil slowly opened the seat and climbed out of the car. He winced at the sudden burst of light. He walked over to Sara who was looking over the lake. "It's beautiful."
"Yes you are." She turned around in his arms and pressed her lips to his ever so slightly. "The best part about this camping 'thing' is that this is a private campsite. The closest people around here are half an hour away." Gil brought his head down to hers and locked her into a long passionate kiss. Bringing his hands to her head he deepened the kiss. She brought her hands up to play with his hair and kissed him back with equal intensity.
"Hey, the Grissom's are over here, making out!" Greg yelled to the team.
The couple stopped kissing but stayed in each others arms. They both blushed and Gil said, "It looks like we have a new nickname." Making Sara laugh loudly.
"Hey, Grissom's! Do you wanna come help unload the car?" Warrick called as he walked over to them. The use of their new nickname sent them both into laughter.
They walked over to the car and pulled out their stuff and helped with the other's stuff. Before setting up camp they all decided to take a break and go for a swim. They grabbed their swimsuits and all went somewhere private to change. Sara walked behind a tree ad Gil went to go get his book. When Sara walked over to Gil he was sitting by the water in a folding chair reading. "Nice suit." Gil winked at her. "I think I'd like it better if it were off though." She walked closer to him.
"Where are your swim trunks?" She said matter-of-factly.
"I don't plan on swimming."
"Come on. You are going to get wet. Even if I have to get you wet."
"I'd rather get you wet." He joked.
"What is with you?" She playfully slapped his arm. "Oh well. I'll see you later." She gave him her evil smile and walked of swaying her hips more than usual for him.
Greg came up from behind her and picked her up, throwing her over her shoulder. "Greg, put me down!" Gil watched from his chair, fairly amused. Greg walked closer towards the edge of the water. "Greg!" Greg ran as fast as he could and trudged in the water until he got a little over waist deep and dove, bringing Sara under with him.
She popped up out of the water and tackled Greg when he came up. Nick and Warrick jumped into the game and was soon followed Catherine. Jim walked over to Gil and set up his chair and sat down. "Hey, Gil."
He set his book down. "Hey."
"So, how's the married life?"
"It's great, Jim." Sara and Nick snuck up behind Gil with a bucket of water as Greg, Warrick, and Catherine distracted. Greg got up in front of him and started dancing as Catherine and Warrick played tag, very loudly. Gil laughed and shook his head. Brass was just about in tears because he was trying to hold back his laughter; he knew what was coming next. Sara and Nick got right behind him and put the bucket in the air. Gil turned around and saw them. "Don't you dar-" the cold lake water came crashing down on him mid sentence. Gil stood up shaking his shirt off of his body. Nick and Sara ran for the water, as did everyone else; except Jim. "Sara, Nick! You get over here!"
"Come get us!" Sara shouted at him from the lake.
Gil ran to the water taking his shirt off. He threw his shirt on the beach and ran into the water after Sara. "Sara!" He swam over to her and pulled her into his grasp.
"Gil!" She yelled at the top of her lungs as he dragged her under.
Under the water Gil turned her around, and surprising both of them, kissed her. After a minute the team started to get worried when they did emerge from the water. They shouted for them as they searched the water. Brass ran to the edged of the water and searched to see if they would come up. Gil and Sara emerged from the water still lip locked. The team swam over to them and started splashing them with water. "What the hell you two?!" Catherine shouted as they pulled apart from each other catching their breath. "You scared the shit out of us!"
Wanting to explain they tried to talk but they were so out of breath from that breath taking kiss. "You two were down there for ever!" Nick whined.
Finally catching his breath he said, "Sorry, I guess I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't mean to kiss her so long." He felt immediate embarrassment when he said the last sentence. He turned to Catherine. "Sorry." He realized he was still wearing his pants so he started to swim to shore, Sara followed behind. He came out of the water walking awkwardly with his wet pants. Sara laughed a little too loud as Gil turned around and looked at her sternly and she shut her mouth. When he made it to Jim he turned to him. "Sorry if I worried you."
"Worried? Nah. Not me."
"I saw you next to the water; you were ready to go in after me."
"No, maybe I would go in for Sara, but not you." He smirked.
Gil walked over to all the bags and searched for his. Sara walked up behind him. "Do you want a towel?" He turned around and looked at her. His eyes telling her 'don't joke with me.' She smirked and grabbed her bag and tossed him a towel. As he dried off she took out some of his clothes. She tossed them to him once he was partially dried off.
"What's this?" he said holding up the swim trunks.
"It's only going to get hotter and you are going to want to get in the water again. Put them on, you're not getting another pair of your pants wet." He went behind the tree and threw his pants and underwear at her and she hung them to dry on a branch. He walked out from behind the tree, fresh in his swim trunks. He grabbed the clean shirt and tossed it on.
The team came running up to the campsite. "Here," Nick gave Gil his old, wet shirt. "Sorry about getting it wet. You have to believe me when I say; it was all Sara's idea."
"Hey!" Sara yelled protecting herself. She took the shirt from him and hung it next to his pants.
"Let's start setting up camp!" Warrick said excitedly.
"We got a long way ahead of us." Greg said pretending to be sad.

(Present time, later that afternoon)
"You know, that was an amazing kiss." She teased, getting into the bed.
Gil came out of the bathroom and lay under the covers with her. "I love you. You know that right?"
"Ya. I love you, too." She settled against his chest. "Good night."
"Night."
