A/N Well here is an update not sure if I like this chap or…but thought I would update anyway. All mistakes are mine and mine alone! Enjoy.
Oh and I don't own anything remotely close to CSI but my birthday and Christmas is coming up…so hopefully that might change.
Sara sat in front of her laptop looking at the different listings of houses to buy in the Las Vegas area.
Of course she had yet to talk to Grissom about it, but looking couldn't hurt.
She was just about to click on a house a 10minute drive from the apartment when a knock came to the door.
'Okay, that can't be Gil I reminded him to take his keys before he left to walk Hank. He must have forgotten them…who else would be calling?'
He was about to knock again when the door opened and revealed a confused looking Sara.
"Jim! What are you doing here?" Sara asked as she wrapped her arms around him.
"What? And old man can't see his daughter?" Jim said laughing as they pulled apart from their hug.
Sara laughed and rolled her eyes inviting him into the apartment. Jim looked around the apartment and noted for the first time Gil wasn't there.
"Where's your husband? Don't tell me he is in the bad books already."
"Very funny. He is out walking Hank. He should be back in a little while."
"Good we can have a little chat while he is away." Jim said smiling.
After they had gotten coffee they sat down on the love seat in the living room.
"How have you been since the last time I saw you?" Jim asked taking a drink of coffee.
"Good." Sara answered smiling. "Mom was a bit upset to see me leave but she's okay. I guess after having someone living with you for months it must be weird being on you own again. Hopefully we might spend Thanksgiving or Christmas with her."
"Wow, Grissom not working a major holiday….that's new."
"Yes, well Gil working a major holiday will be nothing but a distant memory."
"This wouldn't have anything to do with a family in the near distant future, would it?"
"Why do people say 'near distant future', I mean is it even proper English?"
"Way to avoid the subject there Einstein. You know there is a betting pool as to why Grissom took a week off? Catherine has $20 down saying that you are home, the rest say it's something to do with bugs or work."
"Hasn't anyone learnt by now that Catherine is always right? I mean I was told not long after me coming to Las Vegas."
"Okay, no where near the point I am trying to make. And please stop trying to change the subject, yes Catherine is always right and who gives a damn about the 'near distant future' being proper English or not. Look, in the roundabout way I have seemingly being trying to ask, do you want to have a family with Gil or not?"
They sat in silence for a few minutes while Sara thought of how she was going to answer Jim's question.
"Yes, I would love to have a family with Gil, someday. But it is something we have yet to discuss. Hell I never thought I would want a family till now, but I do. I have been having dreams about us been parents and they are so vivid. In one we have a girl she has a mop of brown curly hair and the most beautiful blue eyes she is just the cutest thing. But maybe that's all it will be, something conjured up in my head. I mean Gil is in his fifties and I'm in my late thirties, he might not even want kids, but if he does…."
"It would need to be soon."
"Yes." Sara said letting out a frustrated sigh.
"Look the way I see it is, you have one option. Talk to him Sara, the worst thing that could happen is him saying he is too old, but that is something you could work around, he can be a stubborn ass, but I know he would love to be a father and what I know more is that he would do anything for you. Talk to him Sara. The worst thing is the not knowing."
"I hope you are right Jim."
"Please, I'm another Catherine, I'm always right."
