Ecklie looked on from the entrance, neither Grissom nor Sara saw him. Saw the hatred and inexplicable emotion burning hot in his gaze. Neither also noticed his jaw set determinedly as he stalked off to his office, his mind racing, eyes burning, mouth muttering.

Half way through the shift and Sara was still sat in the break room with no plans of leaving soon. She had been kept occupied by Ella and Harmony and the rest of the team had frequently dropped in in their way back from Trace or their way to DNA. Unfortunately Grissom had been called out to a case with bugs and so had been forced to leave. Catherine had almost had to drag him forcefully from the room to stop him claiming that paperwork needed to be caught up on. Sara smiled at the memory.

"Grissom, you're going to that crime scene now. You are not going to claim that their is paperwork to do, because I did most of yours while you were away, you just need to skim read them and sign them."

"But-"

"No buts. You are leaving. Now!" She had then pushed him out of the room and shut the door behind him, she then stood between Sara and the glass so that Grissom couldn't speak to her through the glass. Eventually he had given up, not before posting a note under the door however.

Sara unfolded the note from her pocket. ' "My heart grows cold and heavy at our parting. Now that every beat of it is only measuring the time till I can see you again" I'll try and be back soon. Love Gil.'

As a result Sara whenever she had been unoccupied had read over the note and tried to figure out who the quote had been said by. A grin spread slowly across her face when she saw Grissom walking up the corridor towards her. He entered the break room, waved to her and headed for the sink. Sara frowned slightly at his lack of action at his entry and headed closer to him. Grissom stood up before she got too close however.

"Sara, I wouldn't come much closer right now. Decomp in a confined space. Sports bag. The bugs had got in before it was shut. I still need to have a shower."

Sara took a hesitant step closer before the stench hit her. It was almost a physical blow and she staggered for a moment at the shock of the strength of it. Grissom shrugged and blew a kiss at her, Sara put her head on one side for a minute.

She smiled at him and shrugged. "I don't care." She stated before closing the distance between them and pressing her lips against his. "It's a good job I stocked up on lemons both here and at home." She muttered as she pulled back, her voice low.

"Who was that quote by by the way? Yeats?"

"Grissom" Sara drew in a sharp breath, the note now meaning even more if Grissom was that open even on notes.

Grissom smiled gently and started walking away, just as he reached arms length he span around and caught her waist with his arm, causing her to lose her balance and fall into him. He smiled at their proximity, he tilted her head up to face his with his finger before kissing her tenderly. He pulled back and wandered out to the shower.

Sara leant on the worktop for support. She looked towards Ella and Harmony, "You're daddy really does know how to make a girl weak at the knees."

Shift finally ended and Grissom happily met Sara in the break room. Not surprised to find her curled up asleep on the couch, her hand still rocking Ella's seat as Ella also drifted into sleep. Grissom smiled gently at the sight, feeling his heart would break from the beauty of it and from the fact that he was allowed to share in it. Still smiling he looked towards Harmony who was grizzling, he already recognised the signs from her of when she was about to start making noise. He saw them all now.

He quickly hurried over to her, he picked her up and calmed her quickly, until she was soon asleep again. He guessed she must have just fed them both for them both to be asleep at the same time. A tender expression came over his face as he gazed at his daughter. Saw the similarities to both him and Sara and realised just how much of both of them had gone into both Ella and Harmony, and that part of him and Sara and their love would stay alive in these two and their children even after Sara and Grissom were gone.

As he stopped gazing at Harmony he started moving again, he first slipped Harmony back into her portable car seat, taking care not to wake her, he then made sure that Ella was sorted correctly before peering through the glass wall to the break room, he spotted Catherine and Warrick walking past outside.

He opened the door and bobbed his head around the edge. Listening to them so that he didn't interupt in the middle of a sentence. Warrick was speaking.

"You still on for tonight?"

"Of course. Lindsey is with my mum, she keeps asking about you."

"I thought you said you were going to tell her tomorrow."

"I am. She just keeps asking who's making her mum so happy."

Warrick took hold of her wrist and pulled her to a stop. "Well, if even Lindsey's noticed, I can't be doing bad." He muttered quietly before stroking Catherine's cheek and leaning his head down to kiss her. There lips were about to touch when-

"Guys."

Catherine groaned and looked evilly at Grissom who had just called them. "Can you do me a favour? Carry Harmony and Ella to the door while I carry Sara?"

They both looked confused and glanced into the break room. They saw all three girls int there sleeping peacefully. Catherine didn't say anything but instead walked into the room and picked up the handle on Ella's carrier. Warrick smiled slightly in her direction even though she couldn't see him.

Grissom headed back into the room and moved towards the sofa.

He was vaguely aware of Warrick picking up Harmony's carrier and holding the door open for Catherine and them both waiting for him, still holding the door open. His attention was on Sara instead however.

He was hit and knew this would be another one of those moments that would stay perfectly ingrained in his mind forever, a snapshot of the woman he loved.

She was wearing no make-up (she very rarely used make-up anyway) a few small konts had begun to form in her hair, her eyes were closed, but a faint smile rested on her lips.

She turned her head slightly and muttered something inaudible in her sleep. Grissom could only watch her, a smile on his face and love in his eyes. He reached out and brushed some hair back from her face, even in her sleep she turned her cheek towards his hand. He could have (and probably would have) happily sat there and watched her for hours had Catherine not coughed in the background.

He sighed slightly at the interruption but began moving again. He carefully picked her up, one hand behind her back, the other under her knees, her cheek resting on his chest, she draped her arms around his neck without waking, he gazed down at her for a moment before looking up and heading to the door.

He carefully manoeuvred his way to the car, holding Sara close all the while. He handed the car key to Catherine who opened it and together she and Warrick sorted out Ella and Harmony, placing them in their child seats. Soothing them both as they went in so as not to wake them up. Catherine then opened the passenger door and waved to Grissom, before heading off, arm around Warrick's waist towards the door to the lab again.

Grissom moved carefully placed Sara in the passenger seat, she mumbled quietly but stayed asleep, he pushed the door shut silently and then headed around to the drivers side, got in and drove them home.

He pulled up outside there townhouse and glanced over at Sara, she was still fast asleep. He smiled gently at her for a moment. He left her in the car as he sorted out, the still sleeping, Harmony and Ella. He got them inside and into their cots without too much fuss. Ella stirred slightly but was soon quietened.

He then went back outside to the car and opened the door, smiling when he saw Sara, still asleep, and looking peaceful.

He picked her back up again and took her inside. She woke as he closed the front door behind them.

She looked at him and her smile widened. "Morning" he whispered to her before kissing her lightly.

She simply smiled back.

He set her down on the floor and disappeared into the kitchen to get them both a drink. He sat down on the couch next to her after placing their drinks on the table in front of them.

Within minutes of sitting down Sara's head was on his lap and he was gently stroking her hair gazing down at her.

"You know I love you don't you?" He whispered after a while, not wanting to break the peace by speaking loudly.

She smiled up at him, "I do. But it's always nice to hear." She sat up on her elbows and kissed him softly.

"And I love you too."

The End

Sorry for the rather abrupt ending there but my drive on this story has gone and I needed to bring it to a close (that and as you can tell, I really can't write newborns).

Thanks to all the people who have reviewed and helped me, especially to csifan2694, My Kate, ishotsherlock, toothchick, sprat, billiebeesaved, CJS-DEPPendent, catysom, CSIGeekFan, Wander52, Caro-gsr, GRISSOM LOVER 07 and Loubric. (and anyone I missed out here) And just anyone who reviewed as well, but special thanks to you lot above.

There will be a break of about a month (roughly ish) and then I will probably begin a sequel, I've enjoyed this story so much that there will be more. In it will be the wedding, Harmony and Ella as they grow, at least one more addition to the family, and more on the problem Ecklie seems to have with them.

Hope you enjoy that one as well, but I need the month 1)to revise, 2)to start my other story which kept getting pushed to the side by this one, and 3)to give me a chance to start it.

Also time to decide the name for this one. There will be a poll on my profile for the different choices. Decision will be made in 7 days (probably), and I will go with the majority of votes.

Please vote on that, (the link at the top of the page, can't paste it here)

This has turned into a long comment but nm, please vote, and again, thank you.
