Author's Note - So yeah I'm a bit stuck for words so I'll just let you read. Enjoy!
"Did you mean it when you said you love me?" she whispered.
"Yes, with all my heart."
"Good." she kissed him again, "I love you."
The raid came days later. Morgan and Sean had spent all their time locked up. Their only consolation was that they had each other. On the 6th day they had been there they heard shouting. It sounded like worried voices. They were all speaking Polish. There was a loud banging noise then they heard the familiar voice of Jim Brass introducing himself as LVPD. Both Sean and Morgan breathed heavy sighs of relief, they were being rescued. The door was kicked in and Nick and Sara stood in the doorway. "Found them!" shouted Nick. Sara had already rushed over to Morgan and set about undoing the chains that bound her. Nick started doing the same to Sean as all of the CSIs came streaming into the room. She was overwhelmed with hugs, mostly from Greg and Finn.
As soon as she had been discharged from the hospital she got a call from Conrad asking her if she would like to have dinner with him, she accepted of course.
At the dinner her father soon changed the subject to Sean.
"So, apparently you and CSI Yeager were enjoying a cuddle when we found you. Is there anything I should know?"
Morgan took her time answering. "No, I was kidnapped for the second time in 6 months! I was looking for comfort! What exactly are you trying to imply?"
"Just that Yeager isn't exactly ugly and you were found in his arm..." he trailed off.
The rest of the dinner went by in silence. Neither of them felt like speaking after the last conversation. The atmosphere was dead. Eventually Conrad spoke.
"You do realise Greg Likes you?"
"Sorry." Morgan almost choked on her food.
"Greg, CSI Sanders. Well he likes you."
"And you know this how?"
"Come on Morgan, it's obvious! The boy's all over you, he's constantly trying to get you to notice him!"
"Yeah well, I haven't noticed so he obviously isn't doing a very good job!" she snapped.
"Morgan, are you you're ok? You seem distracted, a little short tempered." he looked worried.
"Yeah well I get that from you but no, I am not distracted just... tired. That's all."
"Ok, as long as you're fine." he paused before starting again, "Look Morgan, I know I may not seem like the most caring person in the world but you're my daughter and I love you! I just want to make sure you're happy, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm snooping."
"It's ok dad, I love you too but yeah you can be a bit nosey!" They both laughed.
That night Morgan arrived home from the dinner to find a Mr Sean Yeager sitting by the wall outside her apartment with a bunch of flowers in his hands. When he saw her he got up, fiddled with his hair and adjusted his jacket.
"Hey."
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I thought I would drop by seeing as your dad isn't the nicest person. No offense."
"Thanks." she said, unlocking her door, "Come on in, there's something I need to talk to you about anyway."
"This isn't the break up speech is it?"
"No. Just make yourself comfortable while I find a vase for these." she said, taking the flowers off him," Help yourself to a beer, they're in the fridge." Sean walked inside and got a bottle before sitting on the sofa.
"So what is this about if it's not breaking up?"
"Greg."
"Greg? As in CSI Sanders?" he looked confused.
"Yes. My father has found something out and I think it would be best if you knew as well."
"Go on..."
"You have to promise not to kick off!"
"I promise baby."
"He likes me, big time."
"What?"
"He likes me and seeing as I work with him I am going to have to pretend I don't know!"
"Well you haven't told your dad about us have you?"
"No, but he does suspect something."
"Maybe we could keep us secret until Greg admits his feelings for you and you let him down lightly?"
" I don't want to hurt him Sean! He is one of my best friends!"
"Why do you think he wanted to be your friend? He thought maybe you two could end up like Sara and Nick." Sara and Nick had recently announced that they were together. Nick had apparently admitted his feelings for Sara when she was telling him that she was over Grissom.
"I had no idea! I feel so bad for him!"
"Do you think we should stay secret for a bit?"
"Yeah."
That night as Sean was leaving he heard a quiet voice. He turned around and found Morgan standing in the doorway dressed in her pajamas.
"Stay."she whispered.
"Are you sure?" he sounded nervous.
"Yes. I just need to feel safe. I felt like everything was ok when we were together, even if nothing happened, just having you there to wrap your arms around me comforted me. Please stay."
"Sure."
