Sequel To It Was All Wrong. Five years have pasted since Sara left Grissom and now has gotten married to someone else. Can Sara trust Grissom again?

Chapter 1: The Reception

Sometimes I wonder if I could change everything but in the back of your mind you know it won't be any different. You know you messed it up, and you can't fix it this time or pull it back to together. You think of the person who would throw everything away, and you would get me.

I was sitting with a glass of whiskey in my hand, watching the way the alcohol moved instead of the newly wed happy couple having their first dance on the floor, which everyone's eyes were following.

The new husband was holding his wife very closely. She looked beautiful in the white wedding dress flowing down her toned figure. Her hair was in curls, short going only to her shoulders. She had a smile plastered on her face, and she is the love of my life.

Flashback

Sara had asked me to come to the wedding. I came for her, and only her. I watched with a broken heart. She was smiling, while her soon to be husband was giving his vows.

My son and daughter were by her side. Elizabeth was the flower girl while Noah was made to be the ring barrier. They were taking it very well, but they didn't know the whole truth on why we had a divorce. Noah still disapproved. It was probably because of his young age. He didn't get why his mother was marrying another guy that wasn't his father. It was my entire fault.

She said "I do."

End of Flashback

The first song ended, and I saw Brass approach Sara to have the second dance. He was like the father she never had. He was there for her when she needed me the most.

Brass and her husband smiled at each other. He had said something to make Brass chuckle, and he gave Sara to Brass to dance with.

Other guests started to dance also. I watched Warrick pull Catherine to the dance floor with him.

Cath was in a strapless light pink dress that hugged her hips. It showed off also some of her other attributes that couldn't be seen.

You know I'm still sure that Catherine never told Warrick that she was involved with a once married man… Because if he did know he probably wouldn't have married her. It helps to know that someone got something good that came out of the affairs.

That's over though, even how much Cath wished the affair wasn't over between us.

I moved my eyes back to where Sara and Brass were dancing. The song was about to end. I left my seat and walked over to them. Most of the lab and her lovely husband were staring me down.

You realize they know what you had done. They all know what you did. You'll never live it down to what you did to her. If you did then you would have to accept that you lost her. You might be too late.

I tapped on Brass's shoulder to get his attention. "May I cut in?" I looked to Sara.

"No, just leave her alone," Brass answered for her. Brass did not look remotely abashed; he was still staring coldly and appraisingly at me.

He is angry with you for hitting him in the face almost five years ago. He held the grudge, but you still work with him. You need to be on better grounds with him.

"Jim, it's fine," she spoke softly to him and kissed him gently on the cheek and turned to me.

"May I?" I gestured to my hands to let me place them on her hips. It was impossible for me to tell what she was thinking; her face remained quite blank.

You're not sure if she'll accept you at all. She is too good for you. She cried in your arms, and you let it keep happening. She might refuse you and leave you hurt. It's what you deserve, but that would let you off the hook. You deserved to be hurt far worse.

"You may," she told me letting her arms come around my neck.

You notice she is very close to you. You love to be around her these days. You haven't seen her lately since the divorce was made final. You don't know if she wants you to be around anymore. She says she does…for your children.

You aren't a man of many words, and frankly you're tired of it.

I whispered in her ear, "You look very beautiful today. The most beautiful woman here, and that includes Catherine. You have always been. You make me regret everything I have done in my past. You don't know I how much I love you."

You can feel her husband eyes on you staring like he wanted your head to explode. You see Catherine throwing jealously glances at Sara. She was always the jealous type, while you were married to Sara.

"Since when have you have been interested in beauty?"

"Sine I met you, Sara," I answered sure of myself.

She sighed, ""What does that even mean?"

"It means I will be here for you waiting whenever you need me as a…. friend…anything you need"

"Why did it have to take me marrying someone else for you realize this?"

I grimaced, "It's different now. You're different, I'm different. There's been a lot of time since then and now. We've had years, years we've wasted."

"First of all, It's different because you don't have me anymore. I haven't wasted the years. You see that I'm happy and you're not…"

I interrupted her, "I'm happy if you're happy."

You can see her husband start to walk almost jogging towards you. You need more time with her, so you move farther away.

"Then why do you have to make it so difficult?" Her eyes started to glisten.

You hold her closer almost as close as possible while you think about what could have been until her husband breaks you apart.

You feel his hand on your shoulder. It was firm, and he didn't holdback form squeezing it to hurt. You have to let go of her as much as you don't want to.

"Hello David," I greeted turning around with a fake smile.

You hate the guy; there was something about him that you didn't like. He was too perfect.

She smiled when she saw him and kissed him softly on the lips. I frowned.

"Good to see you Gilbert," he patted my back, hard. I winced, but covered it up.

Everyone loved him.

The team did.

Your kids could see through him even if he tried to bribe them with material things. He wasn't their father.

"You better get back to your seat. I think it's started to cool down," he smirked at me while putting his arm around Sara.

"Sara is a good woman. She deserves the best. I hope you make her happy," I said never faltering my gaze off Sara.

David sobered up and put on a serious face. "I will take care of her, because I love her."

What the hell does that mean? Sara stops you from asking, because she knows you would react. She lets her hand grab your arm and brought you into a warm hug.

"Thank you, Gil. I will take you up on that offer if I ever need someone," she whispered pulling back and leaving with David.

You go back to your seat and watch the rest of the reception. Sara had a few more dances with Nick, Warrick, and Greg. She especially smiled when Greg danced with her. It was painfully obvious the young man had a crush on your Sara, and he had a knack for causing the occasional, unbidden laughter from her. It was an action she seldom engaged in anymore, and less so for you. It makes you smile even if it isn't for you.

"Daddy," I heard being called from behind.

It was Elizabeth with Noah beside her holding her hand walking towards you.

"Hey, ladybug…. Noah what's wrong?" I looked at my son.

He had tears coming down his face. He jumped up and put his arms around your neck. He hugs you and kept his hold on you. You hug him back in confusion. You look to your daughter with your eyebrow raised to the roof. She gives you a look 'I didn't do it'.

"He thinks he'll lose you since mommy is marrying Dave," she explained to me.

I pulled Noah off of me, so I could speak with him. "Noah, I will always be here for you. Nothing will change that, even if your mother marries someone else."

"Promise?"

"I promise, Noah. Now I want a hug from my favorite two kids," I exclaimed pulling Elizabeth over to us.

"Dad, someone will see," she complained. I smiled.

"I love you both."

"I love you, too daddy," they both said in unison.
