Chapter twenty-four

Grissom had slumped to the floor, his head in his hands as he allowed the tears he had been holding back to flow.

Sara moved to kneel next to him as they both cried. Sara was afraid to touch him in fear that he would push her away, like she had just done to him. She knew it wasn't good for her to upset him. His heart could only take so much more.

Once the tears had slowed down a little, Sara found her voice and nervously put forward her apology to Grissom. "Gil, I – I'm so sorry. I overacted. I know your excited about becoming a father and I understand – I really do. I just wasn't ready to tell the guys yet. I was looking forward to us enjoying something, just me and you, without the guys butting every five minutes."

Gil lifted his head slightly and looked at Sara. "I forgive you Sara, but it is not entirely you fault. I should have listened to you when you said that you didn't want the guys to know. I got carried away with myself. Forgive me." Grissom hanged his low, refusing to look into Sara's beautiful chocolate eyes, scared of what he might see.

"Of course I forgive you Gil. How could I not. I love you." Sara lifted his head and softly kissed his lips. She made the kiss linger as she waited for him to respond. When he didn't, she looked up to find the tears flowing once more. "Let's head to bed Grissom." Sara held his arm and helped him up to the bed.

Grissom allowed Sara to pull him to the bed. When clothes had been striped, Grissom spooned himself to Sara and held her tight. As his hand brushed lightly over her slightly larger breasts, his arousal caused his to shift slightly, eliciting a moan from Sara.

Sara turned over and started and crashed her lips to Grissoms'. He immediately deepened the kiss and started to let his hands roam.

As Grissom pleasured her with his hands and fingers, Sara held on tight to the bed sheets as she came closer and closer to the edge.

Sara was soon pleading with Grissom to enter her when she could take no more. Sara met every thrust with a cry of pleasure until she went over the edge and screamed her lovers' name.

Gil soon followed Sara and collapsed to the side of her.

Sara rested her head on Grissoms' chest and waited for them to both catch their breath before handing Grissom his pills. She didn't want to hurt him, and that was what scared her the most. She was always worrying about Grissom doing too much, even in bed, when she seemed to lose the ability to say anything but his name.
