Summary: It's the little clues that you should follow to see what is right in front of you. The night shift family compare notes on how they knew that Sara and Grissom were together.

A/N: I don't own much of anything. If I did, I would love to own CSI, but, I don't. I don't even know any of them. I would LOVE to know Billy Peterson though. But, of course, if I ever saw him, I would probably become a blundering idiot, tripping on every word in my mouth.

When Grissom entered the waiting room, he couldn't help but break into a big grin and quickly told his friends that Sara was up and going to be fine.

The boys had just returned with the coffee for everyone, and quickly shoved a large cup into Grissom's hand. After taking a tentative sip, he informed them that Sara was wide awake, and that they were all allowed to go in and see her at once but, gently told them the conditions that the doctors had set.

All of them agreeing to the conditions, Grissom led them silently to Sara's room, stopping at the door to quietly warn them about what they were about to see. "OK guys, Sara was badly banged up you know, so she had quite a few bumps and scrapes. She had a large cast on her arm that she isn't too thrilled about, and she is still hooked up to a monitor and has an IV so don't be too surprised about her appearance. I just don't want anyone to look too shocked when they walk in there. I think Sara would freak out if she knew how banged up she looks." They all nodded in agreement as Grissom opened the door for them to enter.

Catherine was the first to walk into Sara's room and cast her eyes upon her. Slowly, she walked to Sara's bed and slid her hand on top of Sara's uninjured one. She offered Sara a soft smile and with more than just a little moisture in her eyes, she leaned over and gingerly hugged Sara, hesitating momentarily by Sara's ear and whispered, "I am so glad you are OK Sara. You are much tougher than I am, I would have given up." As she stood up, Nick shoved her to the side telling her, "Move over Cat, I need to see my little sis, get outta my way." Gently, Nick kissed Sara on the forehead and whispered, "Good to see ya darlin'. It just wasn't your day was it?" Looking down, he quickly swiped his eyes, hoping that no one saw the tear that had escaped.

Uncharacteristically, Greg was very quiet and calm as he requested, "Could everyone back away for a second, I would like to see my Sara." Catherine snorted, "I believe you mean Grissom's Sara Greg." They all chuckled as Sara and Grissom glanced at each other and blushed.

"Yeah, that is what I meant." Greg silently walked up to Sara with a soft grin and gently hugged her, knowing that if he tried to say anything at that moment, it would just come out as a strangled sob. Stepping back, Greg let Warrick through to see Sara.

Warrick grinned as his eyes sparkled saying, "Sara, my Aunt put you in her prayer circle. You have a bunch of little old ladies prayin' for your speedy recovery."

Sara smiled and said, "Tell her thanks Warrick, I really appreciate it."

Warrick bent down and placed a small kiss on the top of Sara's head and moved out of the way as Jim barked out, "I need to see my Cookie, so if all of you are done getting sloppy all over her, move out of my way." Sara let out a little chuckle while saying, "Get over here Jim." Everyone moved over to let Jim through and started getting chairs arranged so they could sit and visit with Sara. Jim softly kissed Sara's cheek and gave her a sheepish grin as he whispered "He was really a mess Sara, but, we can talk about that later." Sara looked over to see Grissom, back towards all of them, with his head hung low and his hands on his hips. He tried to make it look like he was looking out the window that was in front of him, but she knew better.

Sara noticed that they had set up chairs around her bed and left the chair that was pushed up against her bed empty for Grissom.

Sara looked around the room at all of her friends surrounding her and grinned. They all were slightly surprised at the soft voice that that came out of Sara as she said "Gil, come sit down, you look tired. Have you slept at all?" Catherine smiled as she realized that her best friend had finally found what everyone was looking for, someone to watch over him, and love him unconditionally.

Grissom looked up at Sara and shuffled over to the seat that was left for him and sat down, sighing as he let the tension of the past few hours escape his body.

"Soooooo," Greg chuckled out nervously. "We hear you two have been a little sneaky."

Sara grinned slightly, keeping aware of her badly dried and cracked lips. "Well Greggo, I don't know what you are talking about. Do you Griss?" Grissom just smirked and raised an eyebrow, "No Sara, I don't" Grissom lifted his head, catching the eye of every one of his friends, daring them to say something. When Grissom got to Catherine, he squinted and stared at her the longest, his eyes boring into hers, daring her to say something until a large grin covered his face. They all laughed wildly, unable to contain the emotion they all had been suppressing the past few days.

When the hilarity calmed down, Catherine spoke up. "Gil, who are you trying to kid? Stop trying to intimidate us. We all knew. Sara, while we were in the waiting room, we were sharing some VERY interesting stories. I think that you need to hear some too, you could use a good laugh. Warrick was just about to tell us how he figured out that you two were hittin' the sheets."

Grissom choked on the coffee that he was still sipping and blushed.

Warrick cleared his throat and said, "Now Cat, I said no such thing. I said that I knew they were seeing each other."

"Tomatoes, Toe- mah- toes." chuckled out Catherine.

"Now, do you want to hear my story or what?"

Greg wiggled in his seat, "Please will you get on with it?"
