Birthday Surprise
Written by: Chella Belle/ Edited by: Tigger
Chapter 1: Cliché
Catherine, Sara, Warrick, and Nick were all in the community locker room getting ready to leave. It had been a slow shift and, considering Grissom now had a wife to go home to; he sent them all home early. Grissom and Sara had been married for almost a year now, and the lab had been in bliss. In fact, his new mood had boosted the lab from third in the country to second.
Sara and Catherine were talking and laughing about Lindsey's question about boys. For an odd reason Sara had suddenly become interested in her co-workers' lives. Everyone suspected it was because of the marriage, but Catherine new it was something more. And she was bound and determined to figure it out.
"Hey Sara, what did you get Gil for his birthday?" Catherine asked curiously.
Sara smiled deviously, "I got him the new set of encyclopedias on entomology, six new high-bred cock roaches, and a claim of Carter the centipede. He's the fastest centipede in the world and only one of Buggy Bug's club members can have a claim of him. You have no idea what I went through to get that!" Sara scoffed and finished putting her clothes in her duffel bag. She turned around to see three smirking faces all smiling at her.
"So I guess what they say about couples who live together eventually morphing into each other is true." Nick joked. Warrick chuckled and closed his locker.
"Sounds nice Sar." Warrick complimented. Catherine nodded as did Nick.
"Well, I gotta get home to him. I'll see you guys later, and don't forget the party is tomorrow."
"Yeah about that Sara…am I allowed to bring someone. I mean like-like a friend. Ya know… a friend." Nick emphasized.
Sara smiled from ear to ear. "Awww. You finally got a girl friend! Of course, bring her along. Thank God! I was worried we were going have to set you up with Hodges." Sara joked and the team tried to stifle their laughter.
"Ha ha. But no. So I can bring her?"
"Oh yeah. I want to meet her." Catherine said menacingly. She had an evil glint in her eye.
"Oh no…NO initiations. I remember what you did to Greg's girlfriend Jackie. Poor girl never looked back." Nick shook his head. "Please be nice. I really like her."
"Oh okay. We'll be nice." Catherine rolled her eyes in surrender.
"Thank you." Nick said as he walked out of the room.
"…sort of." Catherine sneered smiling.
"Ooh, Cat you're mean." Sara joked.
"Yeah. I am." She chuckled. Warrick grabbed her and pushed her against the locker.
"I think its sexy." Warrick growled and kissed her.
Sara frowned in disgust, "And I think its nauseating. I'll see you two at the party." She walked out and headed for the parking lot.
Sara opened the door of her and Gil's new house. They bought it a few months ago and had adjusted quiet well. She dropped her duffel bag by the coat rack and smiled.
"Gil! Baby, I'm home!" She shouted to him not knowing where he was. She took off her coat and hung it up. She peered around the hallway door to see into the first half of the living room. "Griss?" She began to walk through the house and look for him.
Once she saw he wasn't in their living room or bed room she checked his favorite room in the house, aside from their bedroom, his bug room. She had agreed to live with him two years ago on the condition that he had a separate room for the "creepy crawlers". She was shocked when he wasn't in there. "Gil seriously, where are you?"
She peered into the garage and saw his car. He couldn't be too far. She walked out the sliding door and onto their patio. She leaned softly against the fence and gazed out to their backyard. The sun was beginning to rise and it looked gorgeous. Then it dawned on her. She smiled and walked back into the house.
She passed the kitchen, bug room, and went into their bedroom. She went to the door in the back of the room and climbed the ladder protruding through an opening in the ceiling.
Sara carefully climbed the ladder and peeked her head onto the roof. She smiled as she saw Grissom sitting on the roof watching the sun. "Hey you." She greeted softly and he smiled at her.
"Hey sweetheart." He walked carefully to the opening and helped Sara through.
"Thanks. Oooh. I'll never get used to this roof." She shuddered.
"If you hate it so much then why do you come up here?" Grissom asked sitting down.
"Because you're here." She settled in his lap as he kissed her neck. He held her close to keep her safe and a smile spread across her face. "Its so beautiful."
"Yes you are."
She turned to look at him, "Well you certainly are a walking cliché today." She joked and Grissom smirked.
"I can't help it…you bring out the best in me. You always have and always will." Grissom said softly and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
Sara closed her eyes and melted under his touch. She wanted to stay like this forever. A warm tear slid down her cheek. Grissom felt it and looked at her concerned. "Honey…what is it?"
She smiled and shook her head, "You just make me so happy. I love you so much."
He smiled, "And you call me a cliché." He joked and rested his forehead on hers. She chuckled and wiped away her tears.
"So, I was thinking for your birthday why don't-"
"Wait…I don't want a party this year." Grissom interrupted.
"What? Why?"
"Because its my first birthday with you as my wife, its my 'half way mark' as Greg puts it, and…birthdays are so, oh what's the word…oh yeah, cliché." He chuckled. Sara smiled and punched his arm.
"That doesn't even make sense."
"So…"
She sighed, "Well, what do you want to do?"
"A nice dinner, dancing, a little fun with you. Maybe role play." He suggested. Sara smiled. She couldn't refuse his idea, so she quickly formulated a plan.
"Okay. Sounds great." She kissed him.
"Wait…what did you want to do?"
She smiled and kissed him lovingly, "Nothing." She teased. Grissom pulled away.
"Sara. Come on."
Sara laughed and stood up. She slowly walked towards the ladder. "Nothing."
"Sara, baby. Please tell me." Grissom begged following her. She chuckled.
They climbed down the ladder "Well, I would tell ya…but then I'd have to kill ya." She giggled at his annoyed expression.
"Fine, I don't want to know." He lied acting nonchalant. Sara chuckled.
"Yes you do."
"Oh no, I know what it was."
"No you don't." Sara scoffed calling his bluff. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she shook her head at him smirking.
"Alright I don't." he admitted reluctantly.
"And its killing you." She teased.
"Sara." He growled devouring her neck. He swooped her up and carried her like a bride into the next room.
"So…we're alone," he kissed her, "in our house," another kiss; "with no possibility for work." he kissed her once more. "What do you want to do?" He kissed her longer and more passionately.
"Well, we could read." She kissed him back. "Or watch television." She kissed him again. "Or, do aerobics." She kissed him once more as he crossed the room to the door entering their bedroom. "Or we could stay up all night and share our deepest thoughts and feelings." At the look on his face she chuckled and kissed him fiercely. he kicked open the door and laid her on their bed.
"How about option five?" He suggested making her laugh.
"Yep. Good idea." She agreed. "We can christen your last day as a 49 year old."
"Oooh. How cliché of you." He joked. She laughed as they continued to kiss.
