TITLE: Cupcakes Own Your Soul
AUTHOR: jenbachand
PAIRING: Grissom/Sara
RATING: G (Total Fluff)
SUMMARY: A little fluff & frosting in the hopes of Sara's return.
DISCLAIMER: I made no money from the writing of this fic.
NOTES: The title comes from a phrase bluebeyonder used to tell me when we would look at cupcakes online & bake them & generally talk about the adorableness of cupcakes. Myshka23 prompted me a few weeks back at my journal to write GSR & cupcakes. And finally mingsmommy did a super speedy beta for me.


"Cupcakes Own Your Soul?" Sara was looking at a bright pink box with the slogan emblazoned in neon green across the top of it.

"It's the newest cupcake-only bakery on the strip," Greg was bouncing, making her suspect he'd consumed more than his fair share of the soul owning cupcakes. "Go on, open it up."

Grissom entered the break room just as she opened it. It was the most beautiful thing she had seen. The cupcake was decorated with green icing and a tiny little brunette doll standing on top in a white dress with little icing butterflies all over her dress and one piped onto her outstretched hand.

"I'm really glad you came back to us," Greg smiled and squeezed her arm on the way out the door.

Grissom took the opportunity to slide his arm around her waist and look at her present from Greg. It was really lovely. And perhaps the butterflies indicated that Greg was working on forgiving him for letting Sara go away in the first place.

"We're all glad you're back, but no one more than me, honey," he whispered to her.

She set her box down and gave him a watery smile. "Well, maybe the dog," she laughed as she turned around to hug him.

"No one more than me," his tone was firm, but gentle. "I never thought I'd be so much in love that when the person went away it would physically hurt. But I am and it did." He kissed her forehead, softly. "I'm so glad you found your way back home, Sara." He hugged her tighter. He didn't care anymore who knew how much he loved her. She came home and was whole and so much better. And he can't help but show her how much he loved her all the time now. Cupcakes might own Greg's soul, but Sara Sidle owned every bit of Grissom's. And that, that was wonderful.
