Summary: Catherine is getting married to Keppler. How does Gil take it?
A/N: WOW. I actually came up with ANOTHER Grillows idea. This is insane. LOL. My brain is going to explode one day. I hope you guys like it. Sorry first chapter is kinda short. All my ideas are for the end of the story. LOL
The team sat in the break room, waiting for Catherine to share the news with them. Sara and Grissom sat together at the table while Nick, Warrick, and Greg stood around the table, trying to make free throws into the plastic hoop that was taped onto the wall.
The door opened and she came in with Keppler following behind her. Everyone looked at them and waited.
"Well... here it is... we're getting married," she said with a huge smile. She held up her hand and showed everyone the engagement ring Keppler had bought for her. Nick's attention went immediately towards Grissom, who just stared at them. Everyone else, though, smiled and congratulated them on the engagement. "We just wanted you guys to be the first to know since... since you guys are like my family," she continued.
Nick gave her a hug and Greg playfully started to pout.
"But Cath. I thought you said that we had a special thing."
"Sorry, Greg. But I found myself a real man." Everyone laughed, except Grissom. As if on cue, everyone's cell phone started ringing; except Catherine and Grissom's. She felt a warm hand on her waist and turned around to see Keppler saving his cell phone.
"I've got a 419 in Henderson." Sara's head popped up.
"Really? Me too."
"I guess you and me are working together then, Sidle." She nodded her head and looked at Grissom before getting up from the table and walked out of the room. Nick, Warrick, and Greg followed. Catherine wrapped her arms around Keppler's neck and stood on her toes to kiss him gently on the lips. Grissom shifted in his seat and tried to focus on something else in the room. "I'll call you when we finish with the scene."
"Be careful." He kissed her again. "Love you."
"Love you, too." And he was out of the door. She turned around to find Grissom staring at his watch. She sat across from him and watched him.
"Have somewhere to be?" He looked up.
"No." They sat in awkward silence.
"So are you and Sara thinking about future?"
"I don't think we're quite ready for that." She looked down at her hands in her lap. She knew what this was really about.
"Are you happy for me?"
"You know I am, Cath." She gently smiled.
"You haven't called me that in a while," she whispered.
"So what did Lindsey think of this?"
"She was excited. She practically demanded me to make her the maid of honor." He smiled a little.
"So when's the wedding?"
"December 15th."
"That's in a month," he said softly.
"So will I see you there?"
"You can count on it."
----
"Hey boss? You got a minute?" Grissom found Nick standing in his doorway.
"Yeah. Come in." He sat down in front of Gil.
"What do you think about Catherine and Keppler?" He thought about it for a moment before he slowly answered,
"I think they're going to be very happy together."
"And are you happy for her?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Because I think you have something you need to tell her."
"I told her congratulations already, Nick."
"Man, everyone around here knows that it should be you and Catherine getting married. Not Catherine and Keppler, and definitely not you and Sara."
"Catherine's my best friend. We-"
"All the more reason to tell her how you really feel." Grissom sighed. "She's not going to turn you away. When has she ever done that?"
"She hasn't," he whispered.
"Tell her. Before it's too late. Catherine doesn't know what she's doing. Help her, Griss."

The next day...
The team sat in the break room, again, while Catherine held a list in her hand as to who was going to walk with who down the isle for the wedding.
"Right. So Sara and Greg, you two will be first. Is that okay?" They nodded, but Sara shot Grissom a sad look and then turned to Greg, who had a huge smile on his face. She couldn't help but laugh to herself. "Warrick? Would you and Tina walk together?"
"Of course."
"Okay... Nick? How about you and Wendy?"
"No problem." She was at the bottom of the list, now.
"Grissom?" He looked up at her. "Would you walk with Lindsey?" Everyone looked back at him and watched him nod. Catherine gave him a smile and turned to Brass. "And you, Jim, would like the honor of walking me down the isle?"
"Catherine, anything for you. I'd love to." Catherine jumped and ran into Keppler's arms.
"This is perfect!! Isn't this great?" Keppler laughed and kissed her on the forehead. Greg spoke up.
"But wait. Who's Keppler's best man?" Keppler kept Catherine in his arms and looked down at Grissom.
"Well actually, Gil, I was going to ask if you would like to be my best man. I know how you're Catherine's closest friend, and I knew she'd like it for you to have a role in the wedding." Catherine turned in his arms and looked back at her best friend.
"I'd be honored."
A/N: Well? Do you guys like it? Or do you want me to delete it and never write another story as long as I live? LOL. (ILOVEYOUGUYS:D)
