For their one year anniversary, Gil took Sara to England on a two week belated honeymoon/vacation. Both of them had made the decision not to have children and Grissom voluntarily had a vasectomy. The thought they were too old and too engrossed in their jobs to add child rearing to their long list of responsibilities. Though, Mother Nature it seems had other plans. Two weeks after they had gotten back from England, Sara discovered she was pregnant. They chose to keep the baby, turning one of the rooms at their house into a nursery, setting it up for the eminent arrival. Their friends were ecstatic and started to spoil the baby before she was even born. (They found out it was a girl.) After Angelina arrived, Sara had her tubes tied, as a double precaution. Angelina, they discovered was the change in their lives, they never knew they needed. No longer were they surrounded by death all of the time, but they now knew the unconditional love of a child and basked in the glow of childhood discovery.
Angelina also had the other four member of the team wrapped around her little finger, not to mention someone else. The only two people to with ability to tell her 'no' were her parents. She had blue eyes like her father and dark curly hair like her mother. Greg adored her little gap-tooth smile the most and Angelina shamelessly abused it to get candy from him. Ecklie was charmed by her from the time of her birth, when he surprised everyone by giving Angelina a stuffed ladybug…hence her nickname through her growing up years.
As she grew up, she dabbled in several different fields of employment and college majors before following in her parent's footsteps. Gil and Sara retired to California when Sara turned fifty-five. The team gradually split apart as they grew older and left the lab. Only Warrick stayed in Vegas. Catherine moved to a different part of Nevada to be closer to her mother. Nick eventually went back to Texas and he often gave guest lectures in forensics at the local college. Greg moved to the east coast to be closer to his children that had all chosen to stay there after graduating from college. Once a year, they all managed to get together for a reunion and they would all take turns hosting. It amazed Sara that her deep dark secret actually brought them all closer together.
The End
