The Look Of Love (part 21)
Sara arrived back at the house to find Gil sitting on the porch, he was watching Hank watering the trees. She came up and sat next to him.
"Did you get a chance to read that booklet?" "Yes," he said, "it explains a lot. I did not realize so many ladies had trouble conceiving and carrying to term."
"Mine is not so much conceiving," she told him laying her head on his shoulder, "we have proven that." She was referring to the miscarriages.
"Mine is carrying to term, and it seems we have another chance."
Gil turned and looked at her, "That is the errand you needed to run?" She said it was.
"You don't look very happy," he said, "I know I am."
"It is just ... well with the miscarriages and possibility of another one, it is kind of hard to get excited."
"I know darling," he said as he gently kissed her, "we just have to keep a positive attitude."
Hank had finished his job and ran back to them, he put his head on Sara's lap as if to say 'you always have me, I love you'.
Sara scratched him behind his ears, "I love you too." As she stood she said, "My turn to fix dinner.
Gil sat there for a while then he too looked up. "The last time I did this I was a 9 year old boy, I begged you to let my father live. When he died I figured it was not worth my time to talk to you anymore. Well, I am begging again, "Please let her keep this one."
At the lab that night Tya came storming into the break room. "I hate men," she said as she sat next to Sara. "Did you and Archie have a fight?"
Catherine asked. "No," she told her. Sara looked at her a little confused. "Then what has the male gender done to piss you off?" she asked.
"Nina, my sister, she called me this morning. She is about 5 months along, her boyfriend keeps telling her they will get married before the baby comes," she said calming down a little.
"Well, yesterday Nina came back to their apartment after her check up, and guess what?" Catherine and Sara look at each other then a Tya.
"What?" they both say. "The ass is in their bed with another woman," Tya tells them.
"Now I see why you are so upset," Sara tells her. "For sure," Catherine adds.
"Anyway the fool does not even have the decency to stop, he finishes his thing walks into the living room tells my sister, who is crying her eyes out, that if she had not gotten so fat he would not have to bang another girl he could still be putting it to her. He then tells her if she does not like it she can pack her stuff and go," Tya says starting to get angry again.
"I hope she told the moron where to go and what to do when he gets there," Sara said.
"She did," Tya said, "so she calls mom. Mom says it is OK for her to stay there but dad puts the brakes on. He said she should not have gotten 'in that condition' before she got married. Anyway Archie said she could stay with us for a while, we are going to get her as soon as he finishes up the film he is analyzing."
She lets out a sigh, "Did not mean to bother you all with this, I just needed to vent." "Don't let it bother you," Sara says, "we girls need to stick together."
"Let us know if there is anything we can do to help," Catherine tells her. By this time the fellas are there. Greg looks at Tya then over at Warrick.
"From what I hear you better keep your male member hid. Tya is threatening to cut them all off." Warrick giggles.
"You MEN will never understand," Catherine says as she storms out with tears in her eyes. "What did I do?" he questions.
Sara stands, throws her hands up and just says, "Men." Tya is back in tears and runs towards the AV lab.
Grissom stands in the door way looking very confused, "What did you two do now?"
"Beats me," they both say, "but I think you better not team male/female tonight because whatever it was we really messed up."
Sara and Catherine come back to the room, Catherine has been crying. Sara just walks past Greg and Warrick and gives them a dirty look. Gil is still confused, "Hormones," he says to himself.
Taking Greg's advice he teams Greg and Warrick up on a shooting at the mall, Catherine and Sara he puts on a robbery.
As they are getting ready to leave Gil asks Sara if he can see her for a minute. In his office he shuts the door and asks her what happened.
Sara explained about Tya's sister and the fella's comments.
"Ohh, I see," he says, "not that I am saying what they said is right, they also do not know the whole story. I will talk to them and tell them they need to get their facts straight before they open their mouths."
"Thanks love," she said as she sneaks a quick kiss.
At the mall Greg and Warrick still can't figure out what they had done.
"Somehow I have the feeling that I am sleeping on the couch tonight," Warrick says.
"Maybe you should tell her you are sorry," Greg tells him. "For what? I still don't know what I did." "Hormones," Greg says. They both laugh.
Sara and Catherine are returning from their crime scene. "I don't understand men," Catherine says.
"I know what you mean," Sara says, "and they think we are complicated." Catherine snickers. "Gil said he would talk to them," Sara tells Catherine.
"You told him?" Catherine asked. "He is my husband," Sara says, "of course I did."
Sara smiles, "I have to admit, it is something I never thought would happen."
Catherine says, "I knew it from the beginning."
"Really, smarty pants," Sara says, "How?"
Catherine smiles, "I told you, that look of love in your eyes. When it is there you can't fight it."
At the lab Gil tells Greg and Warrick to come to his office, he needed to talk to them. "Why do I have the feeling we are in trouble?" Greg says.
"Yeah, it is kinda like when I used to get called to the principals office," Warrick says as they reach his office.
"You needed us?" Gil tells them to shut the door and sit. He tells them about Tya's sister.
"Boy we really did goof up," Greg said.
"Yes," Gil says. "You both owe Tya and the other ladies an apology." "Yes sir," they both say as they leave. "Children," Gil says to himself smiling.
