Thanks for all the reviews;0) Hello to all new readers! As always I own nothing!
Wiping his forehead as he handed over the final box Jim shook his head at the couple, "now when I said I'd help I didn't expect to be lifting boxes."
"Yeah I know but after we decided to donate most of my furniture it seemed impractical to hire a removal service and my lease is up next week," she said watching as her husband found room for the box in her car.
Jim watched as Grissom walked back and gave Sara a kiss. "Right lets re-convene at the town house," he said before all went to their cars.
Once everything was unloaded Grissom passed Jim a beer as Sara started unpacking with a huge smile on her face.
"What are you going to do about addresses," Jim asked aware personal would be suspicious if they got a memo that Sara was suddenly living with Grissom.
Taking a sip Grissom smiled, "Well we were wondering if you could also help with that as well," Grissom said watching Jim's expression. "Do you still own that rental,"
"Yeah, I just got new tenants a few months back," he nodded before drinking again. "You can use the address but use a private mail box for all letters," he said smiling as Sara walked over.
"Thanks so much Jim," Sara said before giving him a hug.
Blushing slightly Jim smiled, "what can I say I'm a romantic at heart and you're my favourite CSI," he said before accepting a handshake from Grissom.
Fixing a snack Grissom watched as Sara found room for her books with a huge smile on her face. "We have to be at work tonight and we need to get some sleep sweetheart so come and have something to eat."
Looking back at her handy work she smiled seeing her things integrated with his just as their lives were. After sitting down and eating her sandwich she stood up again, "next its clothes. I'm going to move all your things to the left side okay," she called out before opening the closet door.
Walking in he saw all of her clothes on the floor and their bed and frowned. "Is there enough room," he asked never realizing they had so much stuff.
"Where have all these clothes come from Gil. Last time I looked you only had a few shirts a court suit and a robe," she said eyeing up his wardrobe having obviously miss calculated.
"We can put your things in the spare room," he tried to reason but quickly wished he could take it away when he saw her pursed lips. "Or maybe I can move some of mine," he quickly said.
"Or we can go through the stuff you don't wear often," she said looking at a hideous Hawaiian shirt and straw hat.
"I like that hat," he said before grabbing it away from her aware he would need to hide it.
"What about this," she said pointing to a shirt that said "bugs don't bite".
"I got that at an entomology conference a few years back it holds sentimental value," he countered realizing they would need a bigger wardrobe.
Deciding they had better things to occupy their time Grissom pulled his arms around her waist and moved her hair away from her neck and started kissing. "I would hate to remind you what happens when I can't touch you at work," he said
Turning around she pulled him into a kiss, "we better let you touch me now then," she purred before walking over to their bed and dumping the clothes on the floor.
"Wake up sweetheart. Work in an hour," Sara said lightly kissing his cheek as Grissom opened his eyes slowly.
Sitting up in bed he smiled when he saw what she was wearing, "I see you now like my tee-shirt as well," he said as he gazed at her wearing nothing but the garment in question.
She leaned forward and gave him another kiss, "I realized that entomologists don't bite either."
Once in the bathroom he saw all of her different products. Amazed that although she wore very little makeup his counter seemed to covered in different items from deodorant, various face creams along with bath and shower gels. "We need a bigger bathroom as well," he said before stripping off into getting the shower. About to wash his hair he saw the door opening and she stepped in.
Lathering up his head she kissed his neck, "I thought you better have one more look before work," she said before he pulled her under the water.
Arriving at work 15 minutes after Grissom, Sara dumped her stuff in her locker before heading towards the break room and saw she Nick.
"I'm so glad you're okay," she said pulling him into a hug.
"Thanks Sara. It's good to be back," he said happy to see her smiling. "I just saw Grissom he said he should be ready in a few minutes he's just talking to Catherine," he said unsure why Sara went slightly pink.
"You want some coffee," Sara asked wanting to change the topic and quickly found two cups.
"So you two have fun," Catherine asked when she sat down.
"Yes thanks Cath," he said before changing the topic, "As you have been working as a supervisor I suggest you take over Nick and Sara's evaluations while I deal with you, Warwick and Greg," well aware it was no longer appropriate with Sara as his wife to do her evaluations. He also knew it would raise suspicions if she was only evaluating Sara.
Excited at the prospect that she would still have some supervisory practice she smiled, "that sounds fine but when are you going to tell Ecklie," she asked well aware they would need to tell him eventually.
The sound of his voice making him feel ill Grissom nodded his head aware it would need to be dealt with eventually, "give us a few months of peace and I will have your answer. Besides I can always consult and UNLV have been after me for years to teach entomology in forensics," he said fully prepared to resign to save Sara's position.
Nodding her head Catherine decided to change subjects, "Jim told me about your move, how is living together working out."
Wondering why Catherine knew what Jim was up to he decided to let it slide, "it's interesting. We have too many clothes for the closet and she seems to have a drug store worth of body products in the bathroom," he said in dismay.
Smiling Catherine chuckled, "sounds like you need a bigger house," she said before standing up and walking towards the door.
Thinking about her suggestion for a few minutes Grissom realized if they moved to a bigger house he could not only have his own bathroom but also get a dog as she had mentioned she had always wanted one. Pushing is grand plan to the side for the moment he gathered up the assignment sheets and walked out.
He cleared his throat as everyone chatted happy to be back together again, "okay before assignments I have a few admin things to tell you. Catherine will now be assistant supervisor with Sara and Nick under her direct leadership while Warwick, Greg and Catherine will be under mine."
Looking to see if there were any problems he continued, "as this is our first shift back together I suggest we meet across the road for breakfast after shift on me. Now onto assignments, Catherine and Sara you have a suspicious fire in Henderson, Warwick you have a smash and grab at a jewellery store downtown while Nick and Greg you're with me there were two bodies found at the Palms."
Working the burned out house together Sara realized after recent events they seemed to have worked up a playful banter and was pleased with the idea of a female friend. Once they collected all of the evidence they headed back to the lab.
"Having fun being married," Catherine asked as she drove them back.
Smiling back she nodded her head, "yeah it's great especially now after we both know what we want after years of playing cat and mouse."
Once the shift was over the group met at the lab's favourite diner. Sara smiled when Catherine made sure she could sit next to Grissom. Ordering once Jim arrived they spent the next few hours re-connecting after being split up.
"So anything new with anyone out of the lab," Nick asked smiling.
Hearing the question Sara nearly chocked on her juice but quickly recovered when Warwick spoke up.
"Me and Tina got hitched," he announced showing off his left hand.
Hearing the news Grissom looked towards Catherine aware she had become close to Warwick over the past few months. Seeing a lack of emotion or intrest he pushed it to the back of his mind before looking over at Sara aware they needed more time before everyone found out.
With Grissom paying for the meal Sara decided to head home with a light heart happy to have her husband who she couldn't seem to stop kissing.
