Honeymoon?
Chapter 14- The Last Bit of Trickery
A/N: This is the second to last chapter. I'm almost done with the story and I am excited because this was my first chapter fic! This is a long chapter and I hope you like it. I don't know why it is so long but I just couldn't stop writing.
I was just wandering from what people have asked; how old do you think I am? And do you think I am a man or a woman? I will tell you all in my next chapter.
"Ow! Stop! That hurts!" Sara yelled as Gil helped her walk back up to camp.
"Well, that is what you get for falling asleep in the sun with out sunscreen." Gil told her. She was as red as a tomato. Gil couldn't help but laugh and Sara turned around and hit him.
"Fuck!" she stopped moving and once again started up the path to the camp.
"Sara come here, this will be easier, and it will only hurt for a moment."
"Gil…" she warned.
He picked her up and she yelped in pain. He ran up the shore and sat her down on the ground next to the dimming campfire. "Happy?" he asked as he sat down beside her. The rest of the team had gone to bed an hour ago and Gil sat reading a book before deciding to get Sara and go to bed.
"No," she fake pouted and he placed his arm over her legs and set it down on the ground next to her waist. He leaned in and kissed her deeply. "Mmmm." She moaned into his mouth. "Now I'm better."
"Good." He leaned over and captured her lips again. He pushed her into laying position but kept their lips together. Gil brought his hands to up to hold her face.
"Ouch." Gil pulled back from Sara and braced himself on his hands that where placed on either side of her head. "Gil, don't stop. It hurts, but it feels good." Gil smiled at her before going back down.
Dirt was all in Sara's hair and on her back. Her hands roamed Gil's now naked chest. His shirt thrown carelessly to the side. Gil tried to be gentle with her, because of her sunburn, but he couldn't hold himself back from touching every pat of her body.
"Eww! God!" Greg yelled from behind them and went to hide behind Brass.
"Get a tent you two." Nick and Warrick laughed at Brass' harsh comment and they all continued to move down to the lake.
"Please cover yourself by the time we get back." Nick joked.
"You guy's wanna join us for a swim? It'll be the last time we get to enjoy the lake."
"No, I'm going to bed." Sara said with a wink to Gil as she got off the ground.
"What about you, Grissom?" Warrick asked.
He looked at Sara as she climbed into bed their tent. "No, I'm pretty tired. I'm going to bed too."
"Sure, just don't wake Catherine up." Greg shouted over his shoulder as he ran down to the water.
Gil rolled his eyes and entered the tent. "So, where were we?" Sara hugged him from behind.
"Right about here." Gil flopped her on the sleeping bag and she yelped, very loud.
"Gil, Sara! Shut up!" Catherine bellowed from inside her tent.
"Sorry!" they both called and laughed.
"I think we woke her." He smirked.
"You think?" Gil's lips landed on her neck and she moaned in pleasure.
"Shhh." Gil said smiling before he captured her lips with his.

(Present day, beginning of shift)
Gil and Sara walked into the lab hand-in-hand. Sara and Gil kissed before Gil went to his office and Sara walked into the break room and sat down at the table. Catherine was standing at the coffee machine and turned to Sara. "Coffee?" she asked Sara.
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Ya, I'm fine."
"Sara Grissom turning down a cup of coffee, it is unheard of. Are you sure you're not sick?" Nick joked.
"Maybe she is just nervous about her honeymoon tomorrow?" Catherine smiled.
Sara said nothing only looked at her hands. The Grissom's weren't sure when they were going to everyone about Sara's pregnancy. Sara could tell that everyone was ready to ask questions but luckily Gil entered the room and everyone sat down. "Looks like a nice, slow night tonight. We have no new cases so we all have work to do on our open cases." He turned to Catherine. "Cath, Sara and I would like to brief you on our case before you leave so if you would meet us in my office before the end of shift?"
"Sure, I'll meet up with you in a couple hours. We need to go back to the scene and then I'll let Greg and Nick take care of the paper work."
"Ok, everyone, get to work." He helped Sara out of her chair. "I'll be I my office if you need me." Gil and Sara left to go to his office. Gil surprised Sara by sitting in the chair next to her instead of his behind the desk. "I wanted to know if you wanted to tell the team about the baby."
"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. Do you want to tell them?"
"I would like to, but if you don't want to then…"
"I want to, too." She smiled. "I'm glad you want to tell everyone. It is great improvement to the lonely entomologist I knew three years ago."
"At the end of shift I'll call a meeting with everyone and we can deal with Ecklie when we get back."
"Sounds good to me."
"Now, let's get to work." Gil grabbed the folders from his desk and turned them so they could see them. "Ok, what do we know?"
GSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSR
"Hey, you two, get up! You slept all day!" Greg was shaking the tent. "We are all going to go on a night hike!"
Sara poked her head out of the tent and realized that they, indeed, slept through the whole day. The sky was nearly black the stars where coming into view. She looked up at a smiling Greg. "Give us ten minutes and we will be ready."
"No problem." Greg ran over to the rest of the group. "Hey, they fell for it." He told them quietly.
"Good." Catherine smiled.
When they came out of the tent everyone was ready with their flash lights and waiting for them. Greg was carrying a back pack that was full of things to trick the Grissoms with. They had been planning it all day while Gil and Sara slept. "About time." Warrick choked.
"I told Greg that we would be ten minutes," she looked at her watch, "we took thirteen minutes." Sara told them. "Where are our flashlights?"
"Here," Nick tossed them two flashlights.
"They don't work." Gil said trying to turn his on, Sara did the same.
"If you were out here earlier you would have gotten ones that worked." Warrick told them.
"Do we have any more batteries?" Gil asked.
"No, we ran out last night. We had to refill our lights." Brass told them.
"Just great." Sara threw her flashlight on the table next to Greg. Gil walked over and placed his next to Sara's.
"Just stick close and you'll be fine." Brass commented.
"Everyone ready?" Catherine asked. Everyone nodded and they started up the hill until they came to a small dirt trail that was barley visible anymore. They all got in single file and headed up the hill. First was Nick, then Greg, Warrick, Catherine, Sara, Gil, and Brass behind them.
After hiking for about half an hour Nick stopped and everyone ran into him. "What the heck?! Why did you stop?!" Greg yelled.
"Sorry, Greg. I think I saw something." Nick was looking through all the brush and trees that surrounded him.
"Stop kidding around, Nick."
"I'm not kidding, Greg."
"I'm going to go check it out." Nick ran ahead.
"Nick, get back here!" Greg chased after him.
"Greg, Nick! Stay with the group!" Warrick turned to face Catherine. "I'll go get them. Stay here." Warrick chased after the boys.
The boys run all the way up the hill and down it until they reached where they wanted to go. They sat down. "Greg, hand me the back pack. We have fifteen minutes before Cath and Brass meet up with us." Nick told him.
"Here, everything is in there." Greg handed him the bag.
"This is going to be great." Warrick could barley in his excitement.
"Looks, like we're stuck here." Catherine turned around to face the three still with her.
"Why don't we sit down and wait for them to come back." Brass sat down and everyone followed his lead and sat down too.
After fifteen minutes they still weren't back. A rock flew out of the bushes and hit Catherine. "Hey! Nick, Greg, Warrick, is that you?!" She called. There was no answer. "You guys are so dead!" Catherine got up and started running through the bushes.
"Cath! Get back here, don't go in there alone!" Brass ran to follow her.
"Jim, we don't have a light!" Gil yelled but both him and Catherine had already disappeared through the trees. "Fuck." He swore under his breath but Sara heard him.
"They'll have to come back for us. Let's just wait here." Sara put her hand on his shoulder to calm him down. She leaned over to him and gave him a reassuring kiss. She leaned back into his chest and he wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head.
Catherine and Brass met up with the guys soon enough and they sat down with them. "Hey, you have everything ready?" Catherine asked.
"Just about. It will be ready in about ten minutes, but let's make them wait." Nick was setting everything up on the ground.
"Did you drop the light?" Warrick asked Brass.
"Ya, not to far from them. I put in the old batteries so it won't work too."
"Good. We have another twenty minutes until we start so let's eat!" Greg took out the chips and dip from the pack and everyone dug in.
"How long has it been?" Gil asked a little bit more than annoyed with the team.
"Twenty minutes." Sara read her light-up watch.
Gil stood up, making Sara sit up. "We should go back."
Sara stood and faced him. "We can't go back without them. What if they come back and think we got lost, or better yet what if we do get lost and they think we went back to camp. No we have to stay here."
"We have been here forever, Sara. Let's at least go look for them. All we have to do is follow the path up."
"Fine, but if we get lost I am blaming you."
He gave her a kiss, "I wouldn't have it any other way." He smiled at her and Sara could just barley make it out against the darkness. "Let's go." they headed off up the mountain.

(Present day, a couple hours later)
Catherine entered Gil's office, and he and Sara turned around. "Hey, are you any closer to your suspect yet?"
"No," Gil answered Catherine. Gil moved over to his chair. "Ok, please sit down and we will give you a short run over with what we have." After they talked over the case before leaving Catherine had to ask questions.
"Are you two excited about getting away from Vegas?" she smiled from her chair next to Sara.
"Ya, I'm just glad to be away from all the noise." Sara told her. "And to be alone with Gil." The girls smiled at each other and Gil blushed.
"I hope your pregnancy doesn't get in the way."
Sara and Gil stared at her. "How did you know I was pregnant?"
"We'll decaf or no coffee, Nick and Warrick said that you got sick when they saw you at the diner, you have been a little bit moody, and I just put all the pieces together. Don't worry I didn't tell anyone and I don't think they know. And congratulations by the way."
"Thanks," they both said in a state of shock.
"We were going to tell everyone after shift, but I guess you already figured it out." Gil stood and walked over to the women. They both stood up. "Will you tell everyone to meet up after shift in my office, Catherine?"
"Sure. I'll see you then."
GSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSRGSR
"Is it time yet?" Greg asked impatiently.
"Just about, Greg. We'll be up and running in five minutes." Nick was still fiddling with all o the gear they brought.
"Gil, slow down, I can't see anything." Sara stumbled up to Gil.
"Sorry," he apologized. He started up the hill, again leaving Sara in his dust. "What's that?" Gil stopped and Sara caught up with him. they looked on the top of the hill and there was a light figure standing there.
"It looks like a person." Sara walked in front of Gil. "Hey! Is that you Nick?!" There was no answer. They both looked at each other and shrugged. "Is that you, guys?!" No answer again.
"This seems familiar."
"What do you mean?"
"This is just like that scene from my ghost stories book."
"Those little sneaks were trying to scare us."
"Well, let's let them think it's working." He smiled at his plan forming in his head. "Then we can get them back with a trick of our own."
"Sounds good to me." Sara turned to face Gil then beck to the figure. "Gil! What the hell is that?!" She yelled so they could hear her.
"I don't know?!" He yelled back. "Maybe we should just go back to camp!"
"What about the team?! We can't leave them!"
"I don't care! They can find their way back!"
"Gil, let's go!" They started to run out of sight, Gil in the lead.
"Get behind the tree." He told her and he hide himself.
"Ahhh, shit!" Sara screamed as she fell face first into the dirt but luckily her hands caught her before her face hit.
"What was that?" Brass asked?
"I don't know? It sounded like Sara." Catherine answered looking in the direction of where they heard the scream.
"It didn't sound like she was scared. It sounded like she's hurt." Nick noticed.
"We should stop and go find them." Warrick looked at everyone and they all agreed. Quickly throwing everything in the bag they headed off to find them.
"Sara?!" Gil ran up the hill as fast as he could and slipping as he came to a stop in front of her. "Are you ok? What happened?" he crouched in front of her.
Sara sat holding her ankle, "I tripped over something; I'll be fine." She put her hand on his shoulder for balance and tried to stand. When she put weight on her ankle she cried in pain and ell back to the ground.
"Let me see."
"Gil, you can't see anything out here." He took her ankle in his hand.
"I don't care. I want to make sure it's not broken."
He turned it to the left lightly, "Ow! Stop!"
"I'm sorry, just try to hold still." He placed his hands in multiple places around her ankle and put slight pressure on it, every time getting a slight whimper from her. "I don't think it's broken, I think you sprained it." He set her foot down on the ground gently. "What did you trip over?"
"I don't know, I think it was a rock."
Gil bent down and picked up what he thought was a rock. "I think this is the culprit." He walked over to her. "It's a flashlight." He tried to turn it on. "It's broken."
"Wait," Sara pushed the button on her watch to turn on the back light. "This is one of our lights." Sara scooted closer to her husband. "What if one of them got hurt? They wouldn't have just dropped it here."
"This could be part of their prank."
"Gil, what if it's not?"
"Nick! Greg! Warrick! Catherine! Jim!" Gil called into the darkness. "Are you out here?!"
"Come on, this isn't funny anymore!" Sara yelled.
"Sara?!" Catherine yelled when they came into site. "Oh my god, are you ok?" She sat down next to the couple. Everyone else followed.
"I'll be fine." She sat against Gil, her back against his chest.
"What the hell were you guys thinking?!" Gil barked at them. "You guys decide to leave us alone, in the dark, without any lights so you can scare us. You guys are lucky Sara didn't break her leg! She could have been seriously hurt!"
They all looked at the ground. "Don't be so mad, Gil. I wasn't seriously hurt, I just twisted my ankle; I'll live."
"But-"
"But nothing."
"We're sorry, Sara." Greg said in shame.
"Ya, we are really sorry." Warrick apologized.
"What happened, anyway?" Brass asked. "You guys sounded pretty scared. Until Sara scream, we thought we got you pretty good."
"Well, we realized you were behind it all so we decided to make you think we fell for it." Sara laughed as Gil continued the story. "We were running back down the hill when-"
"When I tripped over this stinking flashlight." She cut him off. She held up the light.
"Sorry about that." He took the flashlight back and dumped out the bad batteries and placed them in his pocket. "That would be my fault." He replaced the batteries and turned it on. "Do you want the light?"
"Thank you." Sara took it form him.
"We should get back. We have to get up early." Gil stood and helped Sara up. "Can you walk?"
"I think so." She took a step and instantly regretted it.
"Sara, you can't walk, let me help you." Gil insisted.
"I'm fine." She took a deep breath and took another step.
"Come here." He picked her up and started walking back to camp with her holding the light.
"Put me down."
"You're not walking all the way back to camp."

"Hey, Griss." Nick entered Gil's office where everyone else was already sitting. "Sorry I'm late; I had to log the evidence after Greg left."
"It's fine." He stood up and walked to Sara, who was sitting on the corner of his desk. "We'll I just wanted to tell you that after Sara and I return from Hawaii, Sara will not be returning to the field."
"What, why?" Warrick asked.
"Well, everyone, I'm pregnant."
"Hand it over!" Nick cheered and looked at Warrick and Greg. They both handed him one hundred dollars and groaned.
"What was that about?" Sara asked.
"We all had a bet going to see when we would be getting a new Grissom, and I won." Nick told them. "I guessed that you would get pregnant into the second year of your marriage."
"Why couldn't you
two stay off of each other for another six months?" Greg whined.
Everyone laughed, including the Grissoms, but was interrupted by
Greg's questioning. "Why won't you be going into the field, I
mean, I know you're pregnant but, won't you be like only a month
and I think you could still be in the field."
"Well, yes
Greg, actually she could, but we both talked about it and we don't
want to risk the baby's safety." Gil answered.
"And I will work here in the lab until I am eight months and I am going on maternity leave after that." Sara finished.
"Will, you be coming back?" Nick asked.
"I haven't really thought about what I am going to do once I have the baby, but I'm sure I will find my way back to the lab one way or another." Sara smiled.
"Ok, well I would love to stay in chat but-"
"Ya, right." Sara coughed and Gil glared at her before continuing.
"But Sara and I have to finish packing before we leave tomorrow."
Everyone left the office and said their goodbyes to the couple and they left to pack and get some sleep, maybe.
