Chapter 2

"So what's the surprise?" Gil asked, setting his bag on the floor.

"Close your eyes," Sara said, "Don't open then till I tell you too."

Gil closed his eyes and Sara took his hand and lead him to her surprise. "OK," Sara said.

Gil opened his eyes, while he had been gone Sara had contracted someone to come in and remodel the basement, now instead of a small shared office there was plenty of room for both of them.

"It's simply beautiful," Gil said, walking around the office, "What are we going to do with the old office?"

"I'm not sure," Sara said, "I was thinking maybe a guest room."

"It's beautiful," Gil said, kissing her.

"You will notice that ALL your stuff is still boxed up. I had them leave it that way so you could arrange things the way you wanted," Sara told him, "Now go grab that shower you wanted, I have another surprise for you."

The expression on her face left no doubt in Gil's mind what the second SURPRISE was.

Gil tenderly stroked her cheek, "I've been waiting for that too."

Gil showered in record time, coming from the bathroom he seen Sara standing waiting for him.

"I was going to undress but I know how much you enjoy doing that," she whispered.

Gil dropped this towel and walked over to her, soft kisses and caresses were exchanged as he undressed her.

Gil stepped away from her, "You are so beautiful," he said as he lift her and laid her on the bed.

Gil kissed down her neck, licked and sucked at her nipples, as his fingers slowing moved downward. He caressed all around her without actually touching her womanhood. He was teasing her and it was driving her crazy.

He smiled as he finally gave into her pleas and pushed his fingers inside her, all the while rubbing her nub with his thumb. Gil continued driving his fingers in and out of her, he felt her body spasm as her first orgasm rocked though her.

Gil rolled to his back and held her until her body calmed. Sara smiled and grabbed his swollen member and began stroking him. His eyes closed as she stroked. He groaned and kissed her while she pleasured him with her hand. As much as he enjoyed what she was doing to him, he ached to be inside her.

He eased her to her back and spread her legs with his knee. He positioned himself above her before slowly, guiding himself into her. They both released sighs of pleasure as he pulled out and then pushed back in again. He set an excruciating slow pace, slowly thrusting in and out of her.

"Please Gil - It's been so long -I need you so…," she whispered.

He silenced her with a kiss and quickened his pace. He began thrusting swiftly in and out of her. Sara thrust her hips back at him, wrapping her legs around him as to pull him even deeper inside.

They began to call each others name as they came closer to release. Sara cried out and shuddered beneath him as she climaxed, Gil too reached that blissful place as he exploded into her and collapsed onto her.

They lay that way for a while, just enjoying the sensations that were racing through their bodies. Slowly Gil moved from atop her and wrapped her I his arms.

Sara kissed his chest, "Just image. We can do that every night now that you are going to be home all the time."

Gil smiled, "Every night? May cause an old man like me to have a heart attack, but what a sweet way to go."

Sara laughed, "Old my foot."

Not wanting to brag, Gil did have to agree with her. He maybe a man in his 50's but he never felt it and certainly never acted it.

"I think we should take the team to eat before shift," Gil said, "That way I can tell then all at the same time about my appointment to WLVU."

"Sounds good," Sara sleepily answered him.

Gil smiled, kissed the top of her head, reaching for his phone, sent a short text to Catherine them joined his wife in sleep.

Catherine read the message and sent out a text to the rest of the team, telling them to meet at OVER EASY about an hour before shift. "There's no way I can sleep now," Catherine said to herself, all Gil had said was "READY TO SHARE SOME IMPORTANT NEWS MEET US AT OE - WE'RE BUYING."

In an abandoned warehouse a very frightened young man stood as his boss cursed him out for losing the car.

"But… But it… But it got a flat," the young man stuttered, trying to justify his actions to someone who obviously was not going to listen, "And there were cops all over the place."

"A FLAT!" the other man yelled.

"Yes sir," the young man said, visibly shaking.

The other man picked up a piece of pipe, "I'll show you a flat."

With that the man struck the young man several times with the pipe. "Hector, get in here and clean up this mess and tell Martin he's just been promoted and he better not make any stupid mistakes."

The older gentleman tossed down the pipe and stormed out the door, "I need a drink and a hooker."

Sara was still wrapped in her husbands arms when the alarm woke her, gingerly she untangled herself, turned off the alarm and headed to the bathroom.

After drying and dressing she woke Gil, "It's about time to meet the gang, crawl out that bed and make yourself presentable."

Gil yawned, rubbed the sleep from his eyes, "Yes dear."

Sara smiled as she watched him going through his "wake up" routine as he called it.

"What," he said when he realized she was watching him.

"Nothing," she said, smiling.

Gil and Sara arrived first and asked the waitress if she could tell the others that they were already at "their" table. Even though tables were not reserved, this one was the only one big enough to hold them all and if Gil called early enough Maggie would hold it for the.

"Sure thing, Dr. Grissom. Good morning Mrs. Grissom, will you two be having the usual?" Maggie asked.

"Yes," Sara said, "Plenty of coffee too please."

Maggie smiled, "Rough night?"

Sara just smiled.

The team had been coming there long enough that Maggie knew just about all there was to know about the CSI team, she also knew that Gil had been away - it didn't take a genius to but 2 and 2 together, Maggie had a real good idea as to why a lot of coffee was needed. "Coffee coming up," Maggie said.

One by one the team arrived, was greeted by Maggie and told that coffee would be there. After the last arrived Maggie took orders - although she often wondered why she did, she could almost tell what each team member would order - and left.

"So what's the news?" Catherine asked.

Gil snickered, "No HELLO'S IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU?"

Sara smiled, if anyone got right to the point it was Catherine.

"Hello - it's good to see you - NOW what's the important news?" Catherine asked.

Everyone laughed.

"I told Brass that you two were going to tell us you were having a kid," Nick said.

Gil looked at Sara, "Are we?"

Sara laughed, "If we are I don't know anything about it and I am sure I would."

Catherine huffed, "Grissom! Tell!"

"OK," Gil said, stopping to let Maggie pass out food, "I have decided to take a professorship at WLVU."

"Does this mean you'll be here in Vegas all the time?" Greg asked. "Yes," Gil said, "And I will even be working with you at times. Part of the agreement with WLVU was that I be aloud to act as a consultant to the Crime Lab when ever necessary."

"Hot damn," Greg yelled, "It's gonna be so good to have you back, boss."

"I'm not back - I'm consulting, and Catherine is still the boss," Gil corrected.

"Either way, it's good to have you here," Nick said.

"That Ecklie," Catherine said, "He told me that he had a professor on retainer form WLVU. When I asked Ecklie WHO all he would say was that he was sure I would not have a problem with his choice." Everyone laughed as they recalled how Ecklie kept Sara's return a secret.

The meal was over and everyone was talking about Gil's latest trip and about the carjacking when Catherine's phone rang.

"Dr. and Mrs. Grissom, it was good to see you again but it's time to get to work," she said, "A male DB found in a dumpster on International, Nick you're with me. Greg, I want you too check with doc on the Keller autopsy."

Nick and Catherine left, Greg grabbed his cup and finished his coffee. "There's one thing I don't get," he said to Gil.

"One thing?" Gil said, with a smile on his face.

Greg scowled, "How can Sara be SIDLE at the lab and GRISSOM with everything else?"

"One of the mysteries of life," Sara said, smiling.

*****[WRITERS NOTE: I am not a lawyer and have no idea how this works as far as the law works but this is the way it is works best for my story, so to all those out there that know the law - please forgive me.]*****

"I took Gil's name when we were married," Sara said, "I am just using Sidle at work because it is just easier."

Poor Greg was even more confused, "So legally you are GRISSOM but professionally you are SIDLE?"

"In a nut shell, yes," Sara said.

"But your mother-in-law said…." Greg said, still confused.

Gil laughed, "Mother doesn't know everything, she just thinks she does."

"Kinda like her son," Greg said, laughing.

Gil gave him a raised eyebrow, "Isn't there someplace you should be?"

"Yeah," Greg said, quickly standing and dashing for the door causing both Sara and Gil to chuckle.

"I hear you'll be around more often, Dr. Grissom," Maggie said as Gil paid the bill.

"Word travels fast around here," Gil said smiling, "Yes. I have taken a professorship at WLVU."

Maggie smiled, "Your people didn't say anything, my boy - Reggie - will be taking your class, he is hoping to become a CSI one day."

"Look forward to having him," Gil said.

Catherine and Nick stood over the body of the young man.

"Can't tell who he is by looking at him," Nick said, "Who ever did this smashed in his face."

"I'm just guessing but I would say the first hit was all it took to kill him, the rest was just rage. This poor fella really pissed off someone," Catherine said.

Nick grunted in agreement.

Back at the lab Catherine was in her office going over some paperwork when Nick came in the room. "Take a guess at what I just found out?" he said, smiling.

Catherine looked at him, "Do tell."

"Our dumpster guy is still a JOHN DOE," Nick said, "BUT his prints match that lone print I found on Amy Keller's mirror."

"Our John Doe is the carjacker?" Catherine said, "Can this mean that it's over?"

"Can't say for sure," Nick said, "We have nothing to tie him to the others except he matches the general description given by the other witnesses, but hell so does half of Vegas."

Catherine's phone rang, "Willows …. Damn, be right there." Catherine looked at Nick.

"It's not over is it?" Nick asked, judging by the look on her face.

"No," Catherine said.
