Sorry I didn't post yesterday ... I was having a busy day! Anyway to make up for it I will post two chapters! Thank you everyone for the amazing reviews!
Enjoy!
New Years Eve Sara was playing cards with Catherine while Grissom attended the only call out so far.
"So made any new years resolutions," Sara asked as her friend shuffled the cards.
"No I never keep them so what's the point," she answered giving out the next hand. "What about you," she asked.
"I don't know maybe coming out with our relationship might be a good idea but we're having such fun," she said before putting cards down.
"Did I miss anything," Grissom asked walking in.
"No just a few bad hands of gin jummy," Sara answered. "You want in," she asked as he got a coffee.
"No that's okay I'm going to go process this before the end of the year," he said as both woman rolled their eyes at his bad joke.
"Okay Gil but get ready for the count down as I want to kiss you at midnight," Sara said with a smile before he walked out.
After he finished the case he logged onto his computer and was dealing with emails when smiled seeing a notice about a conference. The forensics conference in February would be prefect solution he and Sara needed to spend four nights along together. Smiling to himself he realized she had not attend one for a few years and they could spend the evenings naked and alone.
"Two minutes to go," she said locking the door and closing the blinds.
Sending his positive reply he walked over and they counted down together before coming together in a kiss.
"Happy New Year Mrs Grissom," he said after they recovered.
Pulling him in again she decided to make most of the opportunity and kissed him again, "if the past few months are anything to go by this year is going to be wonderful," she now hugging her husband.
"If I have my way every year will be wonderful as long as I have you," he said kissing her hair overwhelmed with his love for her.
Going back to work they finished their shift happy to go home to Bruno and their house.
"I'm going to make you my special omelette's," he said as Sara came in after letting Bruno out.
"Sounds great," she said before sneezing. Closing her eyes she went to change when she came upstairs and groaned. "Gil," she called out when she saw the mess in their bedroom.
"Bruno," Grissom said harshly as he surveyed their bedroom and bathroom which was now covered with half chewed toilet paper.
"Bad puppy," he said as he cleared up the mess after breakfast.
"Maybe he's board," Sara said before sneezing again.
Looking at his wife he shook his head, "I don't see how that's possible with all those toys you keep buying him." Unable to be too upset after seeing his big brown eyes he scratched him behind the ears, "I'll look into some obedience classes," he said before Sara sneezed again.
A few hours later Sara woke up and tasted something horrible. Now awake she tried to breath through her nose and realized the taste was from breathing through her mouth. She groaned aware her slight sniffle from a few hours ago meant her nose was now blocked. Not wanting to wake up Grissom she slowly got out of bed and headed to the kitchen for some water and tissues to blow her nose.
Grissom knew the instant Sara woke up and wondered why she was out of bed after seeing they had only gone to sleep a few hours before. He half got up with one elbow supporting himself as she walked back in.
"I didn't wake you Gil did I," she asked happy to snuggle back in.
"No, I just notice when you're not here," he said as they settled back down and went back to sleep.
Waking up later Sara saw the darkness outside and realized she had overslept. About to get up she suddenly felt dizzy and groaned as she sniffled. Quickly grabbing her water she drank some down and groaned again as it felt like razor blades. Now coughing she fell back down and groaned wondering when the last time she was sick.
"Oh honey you're up," Grissom said walking in dressed for work. "Don't worry I've called you're supervisor and told her you're sick", he said coming over to kiss her on the forehead.
"I'm not sick", Sara was quick to point out before swallowing again and making a face before coughing.
"It's okay to be sick honey, I've made you soup and bought you some supplies," he said indicating the dresser that was now covered with everything from super soft tissues to nasal spray.
He then came back with a tray laden with soup, fresh bread rolls and what looked like freshly squeezed orange juice.
"Mmm this is good," Sara said after a few mouthfuls as they watched the nightly news.
"It's my mother's recipe, roasted tomatoes and basil," he said happy she was eating.
Taking another sip she looked over, "you made this," she asked before taking another sip.
"Yeah this afternoon while you slept," he said.
"Gil you're one in a million," she said finishing her bowl.
"I couldn't have you going hungry and anyway I only allow the best for my wife," he said before taking the tray and going downstairs.
"Now if you need anything or start to feel worse you call me okay, I'll keep my cell on," he told her as he prepared for work.
Nodding her head Sara accepted the jug of water, tissues and smiled as he re-made the bed for her before they kissed goodnight.
With her husband gone Sara settled down to watch a movie and was surprised when halfway through she ended up turning off the TV and fell back to sleep.
Never gladder to be home he walked inside and heard coughing. He walked though to their bedroom and saw she was in a terrible state. The bed covers strewn over the bed, tissues covering the floor and Sara hunched over from a coughing fit.
"Oh sweetheart you should have called," he said as he felt her warm forehead. Going over to the dresser he found the cold and flu tablets and poured her some more water.
Wincing as she swallowed she started to cry only making her coughing worse. She was so happy to have someone to look after her and clung to him even tighter as he wiped away her tears.
"Come on lets get you in the shower and in clean PJ's, it'll make you feel much better," he said softly helping her up.
Once in the shower she breathed in the steam aware it would help her sinuses and turned up the heat as she started to shiver.
Quickly changing the sheets Grissom was there to help Sara out before getting her dressed and back into bed.
They enjoyed a light breakfast while Grissom told her about the 419 he attended downtown.
"I rang an obedience school for Bruno it's a ten minute drive away and they have afternoon classes. They said we could start next week," he said coming out of the bathroom.
"Sounds good," she said feeling sleepy.
"No Griss you could catch my cold," she told him after he gave her some cough medicine and then got into bed.
"In sickness and in health sweetheart," he said kissing her soundly. Happy to see her settle down and get comfy he found the latest Entomology journal and started to read her an article while she drifted off to sleep.
A few days later Sara woke up and felt much better. Moving over to her husband she heard his groan and she felt his forehead. "Seems like you caught my cold," she said before passing him over some tissues.
"I'm fine," he said sounding nasal.
"No, stay in bed and I'll call Catherine," she said reaching for the phone.
Taking care of him Sara smiled as she fed him some chicken soup.
"This is real chicken," he said taking another sip before looking at his vegetarian wife.
"I know I emailed your mother and she sent me a recipe and Catherine bought me some cooked chicken," she said smiling.
Taking another spoonful he smiled aware that not all people would be so thoughtful.
Tucking him in Sara found the TV remote and got him some supplies before heading to work.
Glad to be back to normal a few days later he groaned when he realized it was the monthly supervisors meeting with Ecklie. Quickly texting Sara to say he would be late he picked up some files before walking in. Thinking about his wife waiting at home for him Grissom was not paying attention but quickly spoke up when Ecklie started talking about the upcoming conference in a few weeks and if anyone wanted to attend.
"Conrad, Sara and I have put together a seminar on new techniques in fibre analysis she came up with last year," he said fully aware Ecklie would never let Sara have credit where she was due.
"Fine, Catherine your in charge …" having been approved Grissom tuned back out and smiled imagining Sara covered in bubbles when the meeting suddenly came to an end.
Racing home the couple shared a quick breakfast before going to bed both looking forward to Bruno's first puppy class that afternoon.
"He seems to be a quick learner," Francis the trainer said after the class. "He'll do well with clicker training and I suggest you take him to some agility classes when he gets bigger," she said giving him a stroke.
Driving home both smiled aware Bruno simply needed more exercise and some stronger chew toys.
"We should take him for a morning and evening walk," Sara said as they cleaned up after dinner.
"Sounds good to me," he said eyeing up their puppy wondering if he had a championship dog in their presence before walking off to get his lead.
