Showers and more

Grissom was heading out of his office reading a file when Sara rounded the corner doing the same thing. Instead of hitting each other though they just fell in step with each other and the both of them headed towards the break room.

Warrick was entranced by the actions of these two and since he had nothing better to do at the time, decided to follow them and see what they were up to. He spotted them in the break room, Sara was sitting at the table reading her case file and Grissom was reaching into the cupboard to get a mug.

He was just outside the door when he heard Sara speak, "Griss, not that one, it has a chip." She hadn't even looked up from her paper. Grissom placed the mug he was holding back in the cupboard and grabbed two that were chip free.

Warrick looked on astonished. Grissom filled both cups with coffee and put sugar and cream in one of them then tasted it. He grimaced slightly then grabbed both of them and headed over to the table.

Grissom placed the coffee he had tasted in front of Sara, sat down and proceeded to read his file. Warrick thought the man had made a mistake when he witnessed Sara pick up the mug and take a sip. To his utter astonishment Sara smiled, "thank you, honey. It's perfect."

Grissom leaned in and commented with a smile, "after the first time getting it wrong, I figured I better get it right."

"Good idea." She responded and then took another sip.

Warrick had to pick his jaw up off the ground before he entered the break room.

"Hey guys" he said as he entered the break room and grabbed his own cup of coffee, carefully avoiding the chipped mug.

"Hey Warrick, how's your case coming along?" Grissom asked as though nothing had just happened between himself and Sara.

"Solved, it turns out the neighbor was mad at the guy and falsely turned him in for spousal abuse. I got to the house and found the couple very much in love, if you know what I mean." Grissom raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"So Sar, how is your case going?" Warrick asked.

"I'm positive it was the brother, but I can't seem to link him to the scene. He definitely had motive, he was due to get a 1 million dollar insurance payoff with his brother's death."

"Now Sara" Grissom said from his seat, "don't get ahead of the evidence, is there something you may have overlooked?" For the first time Sara looked up from her file and stared at Grissom.

"You're not going to start lecturing me over the evidence are you, you know just as well as I do this guy did it." Sara looked at Grissom accusingly, like she knew something Warrick wasn't privy too. He was sure the older man was going to say something when Grissom just got up from his seat and headed out the door.

Once again Warrick found himself floored. He was going to have to keep a closer eye on these two.

It wasn't until a couple days later that he caught something that proved what he suspected for a while. He entered the locker room to change at the end of shift and heard quiet voices coming from the showers. He quickly finished changing and then crept up to the entrance to the showers to listen.

"Sara, I think you missed a spot."

"I'm pretty sure that spot is very clean." She replied in a husky voice.

"Maybe, but I know of a spot I may have missed." Warrick heard Sara moan quietly and decided to give the couple their space. He sat on one of the benches in the locker room waiting for them.

Grissom was the first to emerge from the showers with a huge grin on his face, as soon as he saw Warrick though, he dawned a guilty look instead. He was just about to say something when Sara came out of the showers.

"Grissom, you forgot your…" she stopped dead when she saw Warrick, "soap." He was smiling widely, not just because he had just caught them, but because Sara was only wearing a towel when she came out.

"So…anything new I should know about?" he asked. Sara hid behind Grissom and then backed out of the room to get dressed in the showers, leaving him to deal with Warrick.

"I um…It a…" Grissom stammered. Warrick looked at him expectantly, "You what? It what?" he asked, grinning from ear to ear. Grissom's ears had started to turn pink when Sara came back out of the showers, this time fully clothed.

"What he means to say, Warrick, is would you like to have some breakfast at our place?"

Our place! He thought, "You guys are living together?"

"Shhhh" Sara said, "do you want the whole lab to know? Now do you want to come over or not?"

"Hell yeah, you guys have a lot of explaining to do." He replied.

An hour later they were all sitting at the table talking. "So, two years huh? Wow, and here I thought you had just gotten together. I can't believe you are an old couple with a house and a dog, next thing you know your going to tell me your married."

He was still wrapping his mind around it when he noticed the two of them grow quiet. "did I miss something here? Your not married are you?"

"No" Grissom said quickly, "but, we will be" Sara continued and held out her left hand to him. Warrick got up from his seat and enveloped her in a hug. "I am so happy for you, Wow, that is one hell of a rock you got there, nice Griss." He shook Grissom's hand and patted him on the back.

"Warrick, non of the guys know so… do you think you can keep this under wraps?" Grissom asked.

"Sure, just one thing?"

"What?"

"Invite me to the wedding."

"You know you will be." Sara yawned and Warrick took the hint.

"I gotta go get some sleep, looks like you should do the same." And he left the happy couple to their bliss.

Grissom looked over at Sara, "Well, that was a little impromptu."

"Yeah, but so was this" she looked back down at the ring on her finger, "in the shower at work Griss, what a romantic."

"Hey, when the mood hits." And he shrugged his shoulders and the two of them headed to the bedroom to celebrate some more.
