I'm Not Done Yet!
Summary: Grissom's family is the first priority he takes care of, but what happens when someone wants to destroy that.
Chapter 4: Surprises
Sara wasn't really the social type visiting her husband's work place regularly, but she had barely seen him this past week. He had been working non-stop trying to make sure everything was fine. She was desperate for him to come home again before he burned out like she did. She was being strong for her family, providing the love they needed whether or not Grissom would join in.
"Hello, Judy," Sara greeted smiling at the receptionist. Allie was in her arms squirming keeping most of her attention. She thought it would be a good idea for Grissom to see his little girl.
"Mrs. Grissom, it's always a pleasure to see you. How are you?"
"Fine, thank you." She couldn't really say anything else. Fine was the only word that came to mind, everything else didn't matter. No one knew what was going on in their personal life. The team wasn't like it used to be. It wasn't a family, but no one let on. She knew Grissom was working on trying to fix that. She didn't have time for small talk. "Do you know where I can find my husband?"
"I think I saw him going to the break room. You can check there if you want."
"Thank you, Judy," she said not looking back and pulling Allie up closer to her smiling down at her.
"Daddy," she questioned with her big blue eyes.
"Yes sweetie, we're are going to see daddy," she answered her baby girl. Sara walked through the doors held open for her preparing to make her way to the break room to see her husband. She saw him right away. He had put on a black long sleeved shirt late last night. He had her back to her brewing coffee, but what she really recognized was his blonde curly hair. She loved his hair as much as his eyes. As they made love, she would cry out his name gripping onto his curls as she climaxed.
"Sara, I didn't know you were coming. What a surprise," she heard her husband's voice calling to her from her side. She kept looking straight ahead waiting for the man she thought was her husband to turn around. The stranger turned with a boyish grin as he saw Allie squirm in her arms calling for her daddy. He wasn't Grissom. Grissom was by her side in a matter of seconds making the unfamiliar man frown.
She changed her gaze to look at her husband. She smiled at him letting him kiss her on the cheek.
"I wanted to surprise you," she told him letting him take Allie in his arms. The little girl started to giggle and smile as soon as she was in his arms.
"Well, this is the best surprise ever honey. Thank you." Allie started to grab at her dad's glasses.
"Hey you. Leave my glasses alone," he playfully exclaimed, but only making the little girl want to pull her father's glasses off even more. Grissom carefully fiddled with his thin glasses until they were correctly on again.
"How about we go to the break room and talk?" He asked, nodding down the hall. He saw the sadness in her eyes and knew he would need to talk her about whatever was bothering her. He brought his other hand that wasn't holding Allie to the small part of her back leading her by his side.
As they entered the break room, Sara saw Greg & Nick sitting speaking to the stranger, who had a very clear resemblance to her husband. The occupants of the room looked up when Sara and Grissom entered. The young men caught her gaze, she gleamed in his dark eyes, but his expression never wavered. Nick and Greg got out of their seats to hug Sara.
"Where have you been stranger?"
"Sara, it's so good to see you," Greg expressed taking Sara in a bear hug after Nick who kissed her cheek.
"I have missed you guys," she told them as she saw the stranger standing also and nodded at her.
Allie decided it was time to make her presences known and screamed out to Nick and Greg. It was at that time the stranger introduced himself to Sara.
"Hello, you must be Mrs. Grissom," he greeted shyly.
"Yes, but please call me Sara. You must be the new CSI. I'm sorry, but Gil hasn't mentioned your name before."
"Lucas Blake, you can call me Lucas." He took her outstretched hand, warmth coming to his own body. As he took back his hand, Catherine joined the team seeing Sara and Lucas talking. She was still frightened by his threats. She needed to save her friend from Lucas's grasp before it would be too late.
"Blake, I think your holding to much of Sara's attention. Didn't you come here to see Grissom, Sara?"
"Catherine, I think Hodges was looking for you." His tone is calm and doesn't give anything away to Sara, but Catherine can tell she is completely irritating him. "And Sara's husband is talking to the guys, so as you can tell I wanted to keep her company until he is done."
"It's fine Catherine. Lucas is very polite and wasn't bothering me," she told the older woman smiling at Lucas and giving him a quick wink. Catherine had no other choice, but to leave Sara with the big bad monster.
"So where were we?"
Grissom cleared his voice as Lucas finished his question making Lucas step back and find out that his boss had his arm around Sara's waist. Lucas noticed she scooted closer to the grey-haired man's chest. Grissom just smiled at him showing him who's property was what. Lucas looked at him sharply, and he seemed a bit taken aback, but quickly masking his own emotions.
"Hey sweetie, I let Allie with Nick and Greg, so we can talk. Why don't we head to my office," he whispered to her.
"It was good to meet you Lucas. I hope we can talk again soon," she said her goodbyes.
"I can't wait," he whispered as Sara and Grissom were already out the door.
