Sara turned to Warrick after hanging up with Grissom.

"Go ahead and go home. I have been called to the director's office for something. I'll catch a ride from someone. Thanks for waiting." Sara said gently.

"No problem. Are you in trouble? I'll wait if you want me to." He offered and followed her out of the door.

"I don't think I'm in trouble. You don't have to wait. I don't know how long I will be, but thanks for the offer. Go home to Tina." He nodded and walked her to the elevator.

"Call me later, ok?"

"I will. Bye Warrick." Sara said and he finally walked away. The elevator opened at that moment and she hobbled her way on to it.

Robert Cavallo opened the door, when she knocked on it. He and Brian were floored at who was on the other side.

"Ms. Sidle, please come in." Grissom smiled at her and stood to help her sit and then set her crutches on the floor for her.

"Well the mystery is over. Congratulations to the both of you." Robert began.

"Thank you. We have an agreement to sign. Shall we get on with it?" Grissom asked and Sara was confused. Grissom confidently took her hand and told her.

"They have agreed to let us continue to work together and now Robert is typing up a form confirming that. One copy will go in both of our files. I will make sure we get one for the file cabinet at home as well." Sara just nodded and tried to pull her hand away, but Grissom held firm so she relented. Robert printed out several copies for them all to sign. He gave one to the sheriff, kept one for himself, two for their personnel files, one for Grissom and Sara to keep and one for Ecklie.

"Sara, now that the secret is out, do you plan to change your name? Are you both going to change your insurance information and change of addresses?" Sara answered the question.

"Yes I would like to change my name. As for the insurance and the addresses, we can take care of all of that right now if you would like." Robert nodded and pulled out the forms for both of them to fill out. Brian took his cue to leave because his services were no longer needed. Grissom handed back his change of address form.

"I haven't moved. Sara moved in with me. Our beneficiary paperwork just needs a few name changes. Sara has always been listed as my emergency contact and I have been hers." Robert nodded and made the changes Gil requested while Sara sat filling out several forms.

An hour later, they finally left the building. They still had to figure out how to tell their friends, but both of them were too tired to do so right then. Grissom drove straight home and they both crawled in bed and went right to sleep. The alarm woke them later that evening and Grissom drew a bath for them to share. They refused to let the outside world in to bother them for the time being. Grissom had a sinking feeling in his stomach that something unpleasant was going to happen at work.

"Gil, what's wrong?"

"I have a feeling something bad is going to happen tonight."

"Like what?" She was putting the finishing touches on her face while she listened to him.

"Ecklie."

"Alright, let's get there early so he doesn't spoil our surprise." They were both out of the door minutes later.

Grissom's fears were confirmed. Ecklie was basically waiting at the front door for them. They couldn't play dumb because he was holding the memo they had signed in his hands.

"Hello Conrad. How are you this fine evening?" Grissom greeted and never slowed his pace. Sara turned toward the locker room, but was too slow.

"May I speak to the both of you in my office; immediately?" It was phrased as a question but came out as more of a demand. Both of them followed him to his office and sat down in front of is desk.

"What is the meaning of this?" Ecklie was fuming. Grissom and Sara could almost see the smoke coming from his ears.

"Just what it says. Sara and I are married and are allowed to continue working together. I am still her supervisor, nothing has changed." Grissom said coolly.

"This is against the rules. I am going to protest this."

"Going against your boss isn't the wisest course of action. Do you even know how long we have been married?"

"Aren't you newlyweds?" Ecklie asked; his confusion now evident on his face.

"We've been married for a year and a half." Sara said confidently and was amused to see his jaw drop in shock. Wisely, both of them kept their smiles hidden.

"Listen Conrad, I spoke with both the sheriff and Robert. They took the time to observe and after a whole week, neither one of them could figure out that it was Sara. Brian even recruited Catherine to help him and she was clueless as well. We didn't have to tell anyone, there is nothing you can do."

"One slip up and I am reporting you." Ecklie threatened.

"Have a good evening. Sara, it's time to go to work." At the door, Grissom turned around.

"Oh, we would appreciate it if you could keep this a secret for a little while longer. We haven't told the team yet." Grissom left before he could say anything.

Grissom entered the break room shortly after everyone else had taken their seats. He shared a quick look with Sara confirming that she was ok with spilling their secret. She gave a barely perceptible nod and he began.

"Catherine, last week you were on a special mission. Did you accomplish your task yet?" She looked horrified at his words and before she could answer, Nick spoke up.

"What mission?"

"I was asked personally by the sheriff to see if I could discover some things about one of you guys. I was told that 'two people in this building, working on the nightshift are married and that the groom is a CSI'." Grissom waited while surprise made its way on to the faces of the three men in the room. This was the fun part.

"I wouldn't necessarily call myself a groom anymore. It's been over a year already." Sara was working hard to keep her smile in check. She was waiting for his signal.

"It was you?!" Catherine practically shouted at him and the three men were too shocked to say anything. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't know what to say.

"So, who is she? Who did you marry? When did you get married? Why didn't you tell us?" She backed him into a wall as she bombarded him with questions. Sara realized that her time had come and she stood to rescue him.

"It's me and it was a year and a half ago; and because we wanted to be able to keep working together. Back away from Grissom and let him breathe." Greg was glad that he was sitting, because he nearly passed out. Catherine hit Grissom. His arms reflexively moved to shield himself.

"You should have told us! I thought we were friends!" Sara moved in defense and in her action took a blow as well.

"Catherine, stop!" Warrick moved and was holding her back now and Nick was on the other arm.

"We had our reasons and will explain everything to you after shift. You need to calm down." Grissom was basically hiding behind Sara. Catherine had hit him hard and was still struggling against the boys.

"You have known all this time and have been messing with my head!" Grissom knew better than to say anything to his irate friend. He didn't dare risk a smile; especially since Warrick and Nick looked to be using considerable strength to keep her at bay.

"It's time to work. Catherine, calm down; Grissom, go and get the assignments. Greg, hand me my crutches." Sara said, taking control of the scene. Grissom and Greg did as they were asked, but Catherine was still angry. Sara tried one more tactic and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"We are trying to have a baby and if that happens, we're going to ask you to be the godmother." Catherine's resistance ceased immediately. Sara put a finger to her lips and Catherine nodded with a small smile. Grissom returned at that moment, amazed at how quickly Sara had calmed down his friend. He handed out assignments along with an invitation to breakfast at the Grissom house. From the car, Grissom invited Brass, Doc Robbins and Sophia as well.

After shift was over, Grissom claimed Sara and walked slowly next to her since she was still on her crutches. He got her in the car and drove them both home. Once inside, Grissom began cooking while Sara sat at the bar to cut up various fruits and vegetables.

"How did you get Catherine to calm down so fast? She was angrier than I thought she was going to be." Grissom asked her while taking dishes out of the cabinet.

"I told her a secret."

"Do tell." He prompted her.

"I told her that we were trying to have a baby and if we did then she would be godmother. She was pleased to learn this and won't say anything."

"So basically the hole I dug myself into with her isn't as deep anymore?"

"Correct. I love you." He smiled.

"I love you too. She hit me and it hurt. Thank you for rescuing me." He ended with a kiss.

"She hit me too. I have a bruise. Will you kiss it better later?" She asked seductively. "Only if you will return the favor. I probably have more than one. See?" He lifted the sleeve of his arm to show her where Catherine hit him and she gave him a sad smile and began to lean in, but the doorbell rang announcing their first guest. Sara hobbled over while Grissom returned to the kitchen.
