A/N: I decided to name that story after the most famous Christmas carol. This one particular song has been part of my life for last ten years. I sing it every year at Christmas concert with my 'high school choir' even though I finished high school five years ago.
This story is dedicated to Jen who managed to persuade me to sign up for the December challenge.
Adeste Fideles laeti triumphantes;
Venite, venite in Bethlehem;
Natum videte regem angelorum.
+++ flashback +++
Catherine and he walked into the diner where they met Jim. He called them that he needed them there. Where they came into the dinner they found a reason for his call. He had been watching the 'couple' who had been their main suspect in the crime which was committed a few days ago.
"Jim …", said Gil when they walked into a restaurant.
"Hey. We got the whole place clocked. Keeping an eye on the Haynes
couple. Sheriff doesn't want them skipping town," he answered him.
"And neither do we. We have a strong suspicion Portia Richmond is
Dead," Gil told him with sparks in his eyes.
He felt how Catherine suddenly froze. Even though he was standing very close to her, he knew she is going soon to try to find a position where she would be able to relax. She did as he predicted. She stepped one foot back to him. He has been feeling at the moment how she had sighed. He allowed her needed relaxation. He had smelled a shampoo from the hair of beautiful strawberry blond woman. He needed to bend his head a bit more. He was close to love of his life.
They watched the Haynes from this position. They both were comfortable. They had watched the couple as they got up to leave. Amanda Haynes draped her coat over a stole on a chair. She kissed Patrick and turned to grab her coat but she picked up both coats. Then she headed out the door.
"Did you see that?" asked Catherine guys beside her.
"They're on the grift," Grissom simply said.
"She took that fur from right under their noses."
"Hi. May we check your coats?" asked he.

Venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus, dominum!
Gil Grissom was sitting in his office with his head in the hands. He was doing something what he never did. He had been daydreaming. At least everything around him looks like a dream. A dream which became a true. His long life dream about his life with Catherine and her daughter Lindsey, his little butterfly.
After the Haynes' case everything happened so quickly. He had been home only for several moments when he heard a knock on his door. He was very surprised when he had found that his visitor wasn't no one other than one certain strawberry blond chic, Catherine Willows. It wasn't so unusual that she turned up on his door step, especially in times before her divorce from Eddie.
He was surprised but very good surprised. It felt so different. He had felt the changes in his gut. He opened the door and it was the moment when everything in his life changed. Changed so much but he love it from the first minute.
En, grege relicto, humiles ad cunas,
Vocati pastores approperant;
Et nos ovanti gradu festinemus.
She surprised him with her actions. After he invited her in, she told him to sit down back on a couch and be quiet during the time she talked. She also told him that she need to have all his attention. The things, which are between them, must be sorted out. The things had been fought down for many years
