After arriving at the clearing the next morning Sara spoken with Johnny West, the man in charge, she showed him the letter and asked for some time off. Her leave was granted and Gil made all the arrangements for Sara to fly back. Sara wanted to fly into Las Vegas so Gil had called Catherine and filled her in on things. "Don't worry," Catherine told Gil, "We'll take care of her for you. You are not coming?"

"I would love to," Gil said, "but I am in the middle of something."

Catherine laughed, "Bugs?" Gil started to tell her about a rare insect he had found and the possible effect they could play on the environment.

"Slow down bug man," Catherine said, "I only understood a quarter of what you said." Gil laughed. "Sara has something to tell you," Gil said handing the phone to Sara.

"Hey Cath," Sara said hitting Gil. "You were going to tell her," Sara whispered covering the receiver with her hand. Gil laughed and walked away. "Hi Sara. How's things?" Catherine asked.

"Just great," Sara said, "I have some good news." "Fantastic. I can use some good news, it's been crazy around here," Catherine said. "Gil and I are expecting," Sara said.

"Congratulations," Catherine said, "Wait till I tell the rest of the team." "I will be in Vegas Wednesday," Sara told her, "Gil has made all the arrangements for me." "Great," Catherine said, "I am off Wednesday. Can we get together for a chat?" "Would love it," Sara said, "My appointment with Mr. Dunn is not until Thursday." "James Dunn?" Catherine asked. "Yeah," Sara replied. "He is a good friend of Adam's," Catherine said.

"How are things with you and Mr. Novak?" Sara asked. "Moving along," Catherine said snickering, "We will have to talk about that when you get here."

Catherine had been seeing Adam Novak for close to a year now, it was his friendship that helped her get over the loss of Warrick. Over the next few months the friendship developed into much more.

Tuesday they drove into the city so Sara could catch her plane, they rented a motel room for the night. Sara and Gil were cuddling, neither wanted to sleep. They both knew Sara had to leave first thing the next morning and neither was sure how long she would be gone.

"Make sure you stop by and see Warrick," Gil told her tears falling. "I promise," Sara said reaching to wipe one away. Warrick's death had hit Gil hard, he would still have nightmares. "It is not everyday you hold a close friend as their life slips through your fingers," Gil had told the psychologist he talked to occasionally.

Neither said anything, they just lay in the darkness holding each other. Sara rose so she could look in Gil's face, "Make love to me," she whispered. Gil kissed her tenderly, tracing her face with the tips of his fingers. Gil took his time, slowly undressing her, his lips following where his hands had been. Gently Gil rolled Sara to her stomach, she moaned softly as he kissed, licked and nibbled his way from her neck to her butt.

Sara stayed on her stomach, Gil grabbed a pillow and placed it under her stomach then he lay behind her. This opened Sara's womanhood completely to him. Gil used his tongue, fingers and lips to continually help Sara ride an unending wave of pleasure. Gil's head was spinning from her intoxicating scent. He put his mouth over her whole womanhood gently sucking drawing all it into his mouth causing Sara to scream with the pleasure it brought her. Sara's climax seemed endless, her body trembled as she spent her juices, more then once. Drunk on Sara's juice Gil lift up her butt and entered her from behind. Gil's inward movements were met with a backward thrust from Sara, she was begging him, "Faster please." Gil put his hands on her waist and pumped her with all he had, slamming into her until he explodes inside her.

Gil roll to his back, bringing Sara with him, she nestled close to him, her head on his shoulder.

Exhaustion brought on sleep. The phone woke them the next morning. Reluctantly Gil and Sara got up, showered and dressed. They had breakfast at a small diner near the airport. Sara's flight was called to board, Gil wrapped her in his arms. "I don't want to go," Sara said starting to cry. Gil smiled, wiped away the tears, "I don't want you to either, but you know you have to tie up these loose ends, you have to get your questions answered." Sara knew Gil was right, "I will miss you." "I already do," Gil whispered as he kissed her good bye.

Sara's plane landed in Vegas, it felt strange to be in the middle of all that much activity again. "Sara," Catherine called as she hugged her, "How is Gil? How was your flight? How do you two like Costa Rica?" Sara laughed, "One question at a time." The two ladies walked to the baggage claim area and grabbed Sara's cases. Sara tossed her cases into the rental that Gil had arranged for her and drove to the hotel, Catherine followed her. After Sara checked in Catherine said, "I have a surprise for you." They went to the restaurant that was off the lobby, "Sara!" Suddenly Sara was wrapped in Nick's hug, standing behind Nick was Jim and Greg, each took a turn giving her hugs.

After telling them that Gil was fine and Costa Rica was beautiful, Sara told them about the baby. "Gil really wanted to come but he couldn't get away," Sara said, "He is in the middle of something." "Bugs," all three of the men said together. Sara laughed, "Yes." "Not that we are not thrilled to see you but what brings you back this way?" Jim asked. Sara told him about the note and the phone call to the lawyer. "I thought you said your mother was dead?" Nick said. "I thought she was," Sara said, "Every piece of information I was ever able to get on her pointed to that fact." "So why did she not try to get in touch with you?" Greg asked. "I am hoping Mr. Dunn can answer that for me. I see him tomorrow," Sara said as they all sat down.

Sara was in the middle of eating when her phone rang. "Forgot about me already?" Gil said teasingly. Sara chuckled, "Impossible. Especially after Monday night." Sara blushed as the others chuckled. "Not to mention 'Butterfly'," Sara said touching her stomach. After Gil and Sara talked she passed the phone around to the others so they could all say "hi". Taking the phone back Sara said, "I love you. I'll call when we can have a little more privacy."

"Butterfly?" Catherine said. "You know Gil," Sara said smiling. "He can't stand to call the baby an IT and he wants a girl so he started referring to the baby as BUTTERFLY." Jim laughed, "Butterfly is cute, that is unless the baby is a boy."

After they talked a little longer Sara yawned, "I hate to break this up, but I need to get some rest." They all said their good byes with a promise form Sara to keep them updated on things with the lawyer.

In her room Sara stretched out on the bed, feeling lonely, scared and certain she made the wrong decision she wished Gil was there to hold her and reassure her. Almost as if on cue her phone rang. "You're doing the right thing love," Gil said. "Perhaps," Sara told him, "but I miss you so." "Have you unpacked?" he asked. Sara had told him no. "Open the larger of the cases," Gil told her, "I put something in there for you." Sara stood and opened the larger of her matching suitcases, lying on top Gil had put one of his shirts. Sara picked it up, lying under the shirt was a brown teddy bear, now she knew why Gil said she would need to take the larger case also. Sara quickly undressed and put Gil's shirt on, cuddling the bear she picked the phone back up. "Well it's not you, but it dose make me feel better," Sara told Gil. They talked a little longer, Gil could hear Sara try to hide a yawn. "You get some sleep, hon," he said, "And remember I am only a phone call away." After expressing their love for each other, Sara hung up the phone, hugged the bear and drifted off to sleep.
