(Present day, Tuesday after work)
"Sara?" Gil yelled from the bedroom. "Sara?" he asked stepping into the master bathroom where she was starring at herself in the mirror. "Sara?" he asked again, this time she turned around, surprised to hear him.
"Sorry, what did you say?" Replacing her hand on her stomach with her arms, wrapping them around her protectively.
"Are you ok?" He walked to her and placed his arms around her from behind, his hands covering her arms.
"Ya, why?" He looked into her eyes through the reflection of the mirror. His eyes showed disbelief. "Really, I'm fine."
"Ok, as long as you're sure."
"Ya, I'm sure."
"Have you seen my
blue slacks?"
"What's wrong with the pants you're
wearing?"
"Nothing, but I was going to start packing and I want to bring them."
"Oh," she thought for awhile in silence, "I think they're in the closet."
"I looked and they're not there."
She rolled her eyes and walked out of the bathroom to the closet. He followed and as she pulled herself from the closet, indeed the pants had been in the closet. She shook her head as she handed him the pants. He smiled shyly as he thanked her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. He left to finish his packing before they left for lunch.
She looked down at her stomach. 'I have to tell him.' she looked up at him struggling with opening his suitcase. 'Today, at lunch.' She walked over to him and placed her hand on his to stop his attempts at opening the suitcase. "Need some help, babe?" He smiled at her and she smiled back. Taking the suitcase and easily unzipping it.

"Honey, pass me your pants so I can hang them up to dry." Sara said waiting for Gil to get his pants. The sun was shining and there was a light breeze, it was perfect weather. He handed them to her and she placed them on the clothes line, which was occupied mostly with his clothes. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.
"Hey Grissom's!" Greg bellowed. "Come get some breakfast!" They walked over to the group sitting around the makeshift stove eating the breakfast Gil had prepared. Sara sat down on an empty chair and Gil went to go get their food.
He stood in front of Sara and handed her a plate. "Thanks," she said.
"No problem." He sat down in a chair next to her.
"What kind of breakfast is this Grissom?" Nick asked. "No bacon or even a sausage?"
"Ya man. What has Sara done to you?" Warrick joked.
"You used to be a pretty good cook." Brass added.
"Well, Sara has turned me into a vegetarian health-nut, like herself." She punched his shoulder playfully not able to yell at him because her mouth was full.
"Are you saying that you've become a vegetarian and you are never going to eat meat again?"
"Yes, Greg. That is what a vegetarian does." He joked slowly, making fun of Greg. They sat and eat breakfast with small talk and nothing work related. They did all converse about how they are all glad to not be at work. Sara and Gil just rolled their eyes, they had the wee of anyways.
After breakfast they all made Greg do the dishes as they continued their conversations. "Hey, Greg?" Greg turned around to see Gil. "Sara and I are going to go into town, do you want to give some money to get you a sleeping bag."
"Hey, why don't I just go with you."
"Greg, I think they want some alone time." Nick said as he passed by Greg to fill his water glass.
"Oh." Greg said embarrassed.
"I have a better idea." Catherine said standing. "Why don't we all go into town, and Gil and Sara can stay here."
Everyone agreed then they turned to the couple sitting together. "Sara? It's up to you."
"I think it's a wonderful idea." She said smiling. Ten minutes later the team was seated in the car and they drove of in the direction of the town. Sara got up and moved next to Gil. "So, now what?"
"I can think of a few things." He smirked and pursed his lips. He took her hands in his and led her to the tent. "Come on, let's get started." He joked.
Sara heard Gil's phone going off, and she looked around the tent. She was lying naked on her husband cuddled into his chest and didn't want to move. She couldn't find it so she let it go. Two minutes later her phone went off and she decided against getting it. "Are you going to get that?" Gil asked.
"No."
"Sara." He warned, his eyes still shut.
"Uhhhg." She reached around for her phone without moving her body. "Sara Grissom." She said groggily into the phone.
"Sara, I need to talk to Gil."
"Ecklie?"
"Yes, is Gil there?"
"Ya, one sec." She laid her head back down and held up the phone. "Honey, it's or you."
He took the phone from her and put it up to his ear. "Gil Grissom."
"Gil, you sound tired."
"Ya, so?"
"Why are you still in bed when you should be with your team?"
"Technically speaking, I'm not in a bed I'm in a sleeping bag. And Sara is in here with me, she's part of my team."
"Gil, watch it."
"What do you want Ecklie?"
"I have a surprise for you and your team. I scheduled a rafting trip for you all… to become closer."
"Really…"
"Yes, I hired a guide, and he should be there around two, so you better get your ass up"
'I hate you.' He thought "Ok." He hung up the phone and tossed it to the corner of the tent.
"Hey." He sat up and started to find his clothes. "What's up?"
"Would you call Catherine and tell her we need them back?"
"Why?"
"Ecklie scheduled some bonding time."
"What did h do?"
After Gil explained the situation she found her phone and dialed Catherine's number and told them they had to come back and explained why. They were on their way back and all they had to do was wait.
When they got back they all started talking about what they would do when they were rafting. Ten minutes later, right on time, a car pulled into the campsite. A tall man got out. He was built, good arms, les, and you couldn't tell but he probably had a six pack. He walked over to the group. "Hello, I'm Chuck, I'm your guide." He shook everyone's hand. "It will take a while to learn your names so just remind me if I forget. The raft is in my truck if you guys want to help get it out." The guys all went to the truck to get it out and Chuck stayed with the women.
"Catherine, would you come get these ropes?" Warrick called. Catherine left to go help, leaving Chuck and Sara alone.
"Hey, sweetie." Chuck said to Sara. She just looked at him. "You're pretty cute, ya know. What do you say you sit next to me on the raft?" His arm snaked around Sara's waist and he pinched her but. He winked at her and let go of her as the rest of the people came back. They put the raft down and looked to Chuck for the next order. "Oh, I almost forgot. I hear there is a honeymoon couple here, which ones are you?"
"That would be us." Sara said walking over to Gil and giving him a passionate kiss, surprising Gil.
"Oh. So you're the happy couple." He said half upset half mad.
"Yes, we are." Sara said. Sara stared at Chuck and he stared at her.
"Why don't we get this show on the road?" Jim said sensing the tension.
"Ok, go put the raft in the water and put the ropes inside." They picked up the raft and Catherine grabbed the ropes. Now alone again he walked up to Sara. "You're still welcome to sit next to me, sweet-cheeks." He pinched her butt again and walked off to the water.
Gil walked up to Sara. "You ok?"
"Ya,
lets get down there."
"Come on, there is an empty seat next
to me." Chuck said once down there.
"I think I'm going to sit up there with my husband."
"There's no room back there for both of you."
"It's ok, Greg go sit in the back with Chuck." Greg got up and moved to sit with Chuck. "Now there is room." They sat in the seats right in front of Chuck and Greg. Sara leaned her head on Gil's shoulder.
Chuck looked at Sara sitting in front of him. his gaze went further sout and he could see her thong sticking out slightly. 'What an ass.' Was all he could think about as they all got ready to leave the bank.
