Chapter 22

Tabby was on the bus and off to school, Ryan was plying on the floor in the living room.

Sara came in and sat next to Gil, "I have been doing a lot of thinking." "About?" he said putting his arm around her.

"I don't want to work any longer," she told him, "I have Ryan and now with Becca coming, I just don't want to. You don't think it will be a financial burden do you?"

"Absolutely not," he told her kissing her. "We will be just fine.

There is something I wanted to talk to you about also," he said, "Ecklie said the budget finally allowed him to open the new Forensic Entomology Lab, he has asked me to head it up. I told him I would talk to you…."

That was as far as he got, "Do it," she said, "We both knew that is where you belong, you will still be working with the rest of the crew, you just will not be their supervisor."

"And you wonder why I love you so," he said. At the lab that night Gil and Sara walked into Ecklie's office. Gil told him he had decided to take the new position offered him.

Ecklie told him it would take about four months to get everything ready. Sara told him that she was pregnant and had decided to stop working.

"I have a deal for you," Conrad said, "You give me four months to get you and Gil replaced and I can offer you a job."

"I don't want to," she said. "This is something you can do at home," Conrad said. "I am listing," she said. "You can run Gil's research and keep tract of paper work and what not on a special computer I will have installed."

Sara looked at Conrad, she was suspicious. "Why would you do that for me?" she asked him. "It is a job that needs to be filled and - Let's just say I owe you," he said.

Sara was not sure why he had all of a sudden become "human" but she was not about to turn him down,she agreed.

After work Sara told Tabby about the baby coming, "You are having a sister this time."

"A sister, how cool. What are you going to name her?" "Rebecca Leann," Sara said. Tabby was in deep in thought, "LADYBUG."

Sara looked at her, "Ladybug?" "Yep. REBECCA LEANN "LADYBUG' GRISSOM."

Ryan was in the front yard playing with Hank and the other animals, Gil was on the porch watching him. Sara came outside, "Ladybug?"

"Remember we were wondering what nickname Tabby would come up with for Rebecca?" she said.

"Yes," he said. "She just told me - Ladybug."

Ryan came running to Sara. "Mommy. Look," he opened his hand, inside he had a ladybug he had just caught.

Sara looked at Gil and smiled, "Very nice Ryan. Now let her go."

"Bye-bye buggy," he said. "Misha," Tabby said as Warrick, Catherine, Lindsay and Misha got out of the car. "Tabby, take Ryan and Misha to Ryan's room and play," Sara said.

Tabby took Misha with her right hand and Ryan with her left and headed for the house.

"The book you wanted is in the den," Gil told Lindsay. "We could have brought it in tonight," Sara told Catherine.

"That's ok," Warrick said, "Linds wanted it right away." "How about some coffee?" Sara asked. The four of them went to the kitchen and Sara poured coffee.

They were talking, "Conrad told us you have decided to head the FE lab," Catherine said.

"Yes," Gil said, "Is he thinking about you replacing me?"

"Well he should," Sara said, "You know how to run it already."

"Thanks Sara," she said laughing, "it is to bad your opinion dose not count."

"Has Lindsay decided where she wants to go to school yet?" Gil asked.

"I am still thinking about it," she said coming in from the den.

"Thanks for the book," she said. Warrick gathered up Misha and they left. Sara fixed dinner, later the children were bathed and put in their pajama's.

The family sat on the porch for a while enjoying the sunset. Ryan yawned, lay his head on his fathers shoulder and fell asleep.

Tabby has her head on Sara's lap, "Ryan is such a baby. He can't stay awake after the sun goes to bed."

Gil carried Ryan to his room and put him to bed. When Gil came back Sara looked at him, "Tabby fell asleep too."

Gil smiled and picked her up, carried her to her room and tucked her in too. Sara was on the computer when Gil came downstairs, he went behind her and started kissing her neck.

"No fair," she said. "I know," he said. He took her hand and went to their room.

Kisses and touches served to arouse then both. He slowly undressed her then eased her to the bed. He sucked at her breasts then moved between her legs. His tongue and fingers brought extreme pleasure to her, she spent her juices.

Gil moved up and behind her, Sara lie on her side, lifting her leg slightly Gil entered her from behind.

Gil loved this position it was very intimate, he could massage her breasts or her clit as he moved inside her.

Sara loved it because the penetration angle is great for hitting her g-spot. They were able to achieve their climaxes together.

Sara rolled so she faced him, she cuddled into her comfy place. "I love you," she said. "With all my heart," he told her.

Over the course of the next few months Conrad was unexplainable easy on her, everyone noticed it. No one knew why.

By time the Forensic Entomology Lab was ready Sara was in her sixth month. To commemorate the opening of the lab there was a small ceremony, Conrad introduced Gil and Sara's replacements, he also officially announced Sara's new job.

"Let's get to work everyone," Conrad said as he left Gil's new lab. Gil had moved all his "friends" into his new office, he could not be happier.

He had Sara as his wife, two beautiful children and a third coming in three months. He was looking around his office when Catherine came in.

"It looks like you," she said. "Thanks. I am sorry that Conrad thought you could not handle the job."

"It turns out not to be so bad," Catherine said, "Ward has decided to move back east, Conrad has offered me his spot."

"Day shift supervisor. Congratulations," he told her.

At the same time Sara was looking at the new computer that had just been installed. She had read over the brochure that came with it and now was experimenting with it.

The technician who installed it handed her an envelope, "Mr. Ecklie asked me to give you this."

Sara thanked him, opened the envelope and read the note: SARA, YOU ASKED ME WHY I WOULD WANT TO HELP YOU. I OWE YOU. YOU SEE, YEARS AGO A LAWYER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME MY SISTER HAD NAMED ME GUARDIAN OF MY NIECE. I TOLD HIM I WAS NOT INTERESTED, MY NIECE WAS TURNED OVER TO THE STATE. SARA, YOUR MOTHER WAS MY SISTER, I TURNED MY BACK ON YOU, I AM PART TO BLAME FOR ALL THE HELL YOU WENT THROUGH GROWING UP. I AM SO VERY SORRY. FORGIVE ME. CONRAD.

Sara could not believe what she had just read, Conrad Ecklie, her uncle? Sara took the note and wrinkled it, then tossed it out.

This was ONE secret she intended to keep to herself.

Three months later after an easy delivery Sara gave birth to Rebecca.

The next day Sara was discharged. At the house Sara was sitting on her bed, she smiling at her second daughter as she suckled at her breast.

Gil brought Tabby and Ryan in, "She is so pretty," Tabby said.

Ryan crawled up on the bed next to his Momma. "Hi baby," he said as he kissed her forehead.

Tabby crawled up too, "Now I have a brother and a sister, I am so lucky."

"Kiss Momma and Ladybug good night," Gil said.

After their good nights were said Gil took the other two to bed and tucked them in.

Sara smiled, "I am the lucky one. Never in my dreams did my life turn out so perfect."
