All About Your Heart


This story is for the CSIFO June Fanfic Challenge. Please go read other entries (katyrye and CSIVegasRocks – very talented writers but I refrain from reading their entries now because of I am afraid that I might get ideas from theirs stories. I shall read them after I finish this.) and join CSIFO (on both wikifoundry and facebook page). Though I am not very active over in either facebook or wikifoundy but it's fun to have an online CSI family.

The title is a song title, All About Your Heart by Mindy Gledhill. I love that song! Go listen to it on youtube. I felt that the song is quite apt for Grissom's and Sara's relationship.

I hope that I can finish this before the deadline. This is how I would like CSI to end. *chanting* GSR GSR GSR. GSR is my OTP!


Prologue

September 2015

Catherine smiled brightly as she walked into the familiar building. Three years had passed since she took up the FBI job. She never regretted her decision as the job gave her immense sense of satisfaction and recognition she deserved. But she also missed the easy camaraderie between her ex-colleagues and her. She was glad that she had another chance to work with them again.

"Miss Willows" Judy greeted her enthusiastically. "They are waiting for you in the layout room."

She thanked Judy and accepted the pass from her.

"You look great! FBI had changed you." Judy gushed. Catherine shook her head gently and sashayed her way to the layout room.

When she reached the layout room, she paused to check her makeup and smooth her blouse. FBI had not changed one aspect of her which was femininity. Despite working in a cutthroat, Testosterone filled, and femininity was frowned upon environment, she had not lost her femininity.

She knocked and pushed the door open.

"Catherine, looking great," Russell came over and pulled her into a hug. Greg and Morgan came forward to give her a welcome embrace. Russell introduced her to Finn, who replaced her as the Assistant Supervisor. Finn's expertise was also blood splatter analysis. They chatted a little, updating her about their life after she left for Washington.

She was not surprised when Greg told her that he was in a serious relationship with Morgan. She had seen the looks Greg had on whenever Morgan waltzed into the room. She could not believe that Hodges was now a CSI in training, thanks to Wendy. Wendy came back to fill up Nick's vacancy as a CSI Level Two.

"Where's Sara?" she asked, realizing that Sara was not in the room. She had a surprise in stall for Sara.

"She's with the doctor," Greg answered, and took a glimpse at the clock behind her, "she will be here in another fifteen minutes."

"Is she okay?" Her concerns grew. Though Sara and she did not share a close friendship, but she did care for Sara. She had learned about her separation with Grissom through Brass. Brass had told her explicitly not to butt into their business, but she could not resist. They were the strangest lovers she ever met.

She pulled a few strings to get Grissom to work this case with her. Grissom was especially reluctant and threatened to end his friendship with her. But he was unable to turn down the request of a high-ranking agent whom he owed a favor to.

"Yes. She is fine. When she is here, you will know," Greg winked knowingly. She frowned as she did not like being kept in the dark. "Then why is she with the doctor?" she questioned again.

"It's a surprise for you," Morgan quipped.

"Let's start the briefing." Russell gently pushed her to the layout table. "Wait, we're still expecting someone."

It was their turn to frown. "Who're we waiting for?" Greg asked.

"Someone you all know." She smiled smugly.

"Hey guys, I am so, so sorry." Sara apologized as she toddled into the layout room. "My OB wanted me to do a few more tests."

Catherine could not contain her shock as a pregnant Sara stood before her. She clasped her hands over her mouth. She definitely regretted being nosy now.

"Hey," Sara came over, wanting to give Catherine a hug.

Catherine backed away. "You're pregnant."

"Yes, I am." Sara laughed. "Who's the father?" Catherine inquired, her tone a few pitches higher.

Sara stared at Catherine. The room fell into an uneasy silence.

"Oh my god Sara! How could you do this to Grissom? You're such a slut." Catherine berated angrily.

Greg immediately stood between Sara and Catherine, pulling Sara behind him, protecting Sara from Catherine further harsh comments. Tears seeped out from Sara's eyes. She swiped at her eyes harshly.

"She doesn't owe you an explanation. Sara and Grissom were separated." Greg exhaled irately.

Catherine folded her arms across her chest, "I should have never pulled strings to get Grissom to work on this case."

"I am sorry. The flight got delayed. I came as soon as the plane touched down." Grissom entered the layout room, with his small luggage in tow.

Sara gripped onto Greg's hands tighter. "Greg…" Sara felt faintish. Her knees buckled as she crashed down to the floor.

"Sara!" They all shouted. Grissom ran over, wanting to scoop Sara up. He was stopped by Greg. "Not you, Grissom," Greg said through gritted teeth.
