Found But Badly Broken... By ishotsherlock.
Epilogue
The first meeting with Jim had not gone as planed. Sara was holding Gil's hand as Jim walked in the door, he slowly entered the living room but did not see Sweep and Bruno laying beside the couch, because he was looking at Gil. Jim took a step forward and trod on Bruno's tail, Bruno yelped and stood up barking which made Sweep bark and Jim to fall over the arm of the couch, swearing loudly. Gil bolted for the bedroom and would not come out again until the next morning.
It was a further three weeks before they tried again, this time the meeting went well. Jim stayed for five hours talking to both of them, and Bruno kept his distance not wanting to be trod on again. After Jim had left, Gil asked if he could meet the others. Even though he asked for the others to come he never let Sara out of his reach. So once a week Sara called one of the guys to come over, Catherine, Warrick and Nick all talked to him quietly but Greg had other idea's.
He had his hair coloured and spiked in all directions and had on the loudest shirt he could find. As he walked into the room he looked at Gil. "Hey boss-man, brought ya something." He fished in his pocket and pulled out a bag of chocolate and peanut butter treats and waved them in front of Gil, he pulled out a chocolate covered grasshopper and held it out. Gil took a few steps forward, never letting go of Sara's hand and gently took the treat from him. Once he had finished the treat he looked at Greg and smiled.
"Thank you Greg." he held out his hand for the other man to shake. This was the first time Gil had offered his hand to anyone but Sara.
Greg gladly shook his hand. "You owe me a jacket." Gil looked at him quizzically until Greg held up his arm and showed him the teeth marks in his sleeve.
Gil remembered what he had done, he looked at Greg. "I am so sorry for trying to bite you, but at the time I didn't know what I was doing." he looked down at his feet feeling ashamed.
Trying to lighten the mood Greg let out a small chuckle and handed Gil the bag of treats."Not a problem boss, you were trying to protect Sara, I would have done the same."
Gil looked at the young man and smiled as he got another treat out of the bag. The rest of the evening was filled with laughter as Greg told them both stories of when he was growing up and all the trouble he had got in. As the evening went on Gil even released Sara's hand as he told Greg about the first meeting with Jim.
Finally Greg had to leave as his shift was starting soon, as he got up from the couch Gil hugged him saying. "Thanks Greg."
Greg was shocked. "What for." he squeaked out as tears threatened to fall.
Gil let him go but kept hold of his hand. "For being your old crazy self, and not treating me like I am still broken or a child."
"Your welcome boss-man." Greg blushed as he headed for the door.
Sara was in the kitchen when Gil came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her expanding stomach. "I like him, can we have him over again please."
"That's great Gil, and yes we can have him over again." She kissed his smooth cheek. "Why don't you get ready for bed while I check the house and lock up."
Later that night as Gil and Sara snuggled together with sleep about to take them, she suggested that they invite everyone around for lunch the following weekend. Gil sleepily agreed.
The lunch didn't go as planned either. A few hours after everyone had arrived Sara quietly told Gil that her waters had broke. To Gil the next few hours were a blur, with people rushing about and talking at him. But Gil shut them all out except Sara, all he could do was hold her as she gave birth to their child. He was scared and wanted everyone to leave the room, there was too many people in this small room and it started to make him agitated.
Sara felt him starting to shake behind her as his grip tightened a little. She looked up at all the people and shouted to be heard over all of the others who were talking. "Can everyone not needed in this room get the hell out of here, right now." she glared at everyone who looked at them, quickly the room emptied of all people apart from one Doctor and nurse.
Two hours, forty three minutes and a lot of screaming later the doctor and nurse came out of the room. The nurse had a bleeding bite wound to her hand. "He bit me." she stated to the cop in front of her.
Jim looked at her hand. "What were you trying to do that made him bite you."
"I went to take the baby, he growled and bit me." the nurse then stormed off down the hall mumbling about getting security.
The Doctor looked at the waiting group. "Sara and the baby are doing great, but if you could give them a few minutes to settle that would be good." after saying this he followed the blood trail that the nurse had left, and mumbled about getting the cleaners up here.
Jim gave the couple fifteen minutes to get settled, then quietly knocked on the door, after getting no answer he slowly opened the door. The group moved into the room and everyone went quiet. Gil had moved the bed against the wall and climbed onto it, with Sara and his son in-between him and the wall. Both Sara and Gil had an arm across each other, protecting their son.
Greg noticed that they were both asleep, so he ushered the group out of the room and closed the door behind him.
THREE MONTHS LATER.
The trial was finally over, some of the tapes had been shown to the jury along with all the evidence and the security tapes from the hospital. It only took the jury two hours to come back with a guilty verdict. Both men were charged with kidnapping in the first degree and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The people of the crime lab went on solving the crimes committed in Las Vegas.
Sara, Gil, Dylan, Bruno and Sweep moved to a large run down ranch on the outskirts of the city, and after months of building work converted it into a rescue centre for animals who were used in fighting, good thing they had a lot of land because there was a lot of animals that needed their help.
The End.
