Author's BS: I'm starting a new story...again. As always I don't own CSI and if I did catherine would'nt have sex with vartann and wendy would'nt have left and rob zombie would have directed a vegas epi, not yucky miami with the sun-glass weilding paperbag clown and there would be MORE GSR AND MORE LADY HEATHER. okay I know i'm not the greatest writer... I'm no ILoveJorja but i'm asking for 3-5 reviews more will be apriciated if I don't get 3 you won't get part2. here we go...
sorry it's not beta-ed ( I wanted this up tonight and forgot to send it to ILJ) so there will be mistakes...I am Dyslexic and Dyspraxic and Dysgraphic after all.
If there are mistakes I trully am sorry.
I was thinking of re-writing little bug 'cause I don't like it... in fact I hate it so I'm doing it all over again...but following cannon this time and this one I think is a little more realistic since it's based off reality.
This will be rated M for later.
GSR? of course my horse
if you don't like me or my stories don't read past this.
SCARS chapter 1: a box of stuff
Gil I'm leaving...I don't want you anywhere near our son, I know it's selfish but I think it's for the best. If you can't take care of me you can't take care of our son. I don't want money so don't bother.
I think us was a mistake, you'd be better off without 'd be better off without you
Take care
Rebecca
Very early on in their relationship, Sara wondered what Grissom did on October 31st.
She had no Idea it involved a bottle of Jack and a faded old picture, hurtful memories of his past.
Every year he would take off for an hour, returning smelling of bourbon and smoke. Sara wondered if he was sneaking off to play poker...but in fact it was the Real reason he could play poker.
She never brought it up...there was never a reason to; he was always fine the day after even if he did have a hang over.
Grissom never told her his secret...even after they were married. Grissom did exactly the same in Costa Rica...October 31st he disappeared into the jungle with a bottle of Jack Daniels and a full pack of cigarettes returned exactly an hour later smelling of smoke and bourbon.
Sara found out what her husband did on Halloween...but a clue not a clue as to why?
Grissom was still in Paris., and sara was back in Vegas. when She found the reason why by .
Clearing out some junk from the garage one day, Sara came across a battered old shoe box from way back. She Carefully lifted off its dusty lid and she almost fainted when she found what was in it. Her hand very shakily lifted the fading yellow paper. Etched upon its surface she couldn't fathom to be true...why the fuck didn't he tell her? Is this real?
Child's Name, Jackson Daniel Garrett
Sex, male
Date of birth, monday 31st
October 1977 "What should we call him?...and not anything bug-ish"Whispered beckkie as she looked down at her sleeping son
Father, Gilbert Daniel Grissom
"I was atually thinking Jackson after your dad and Daniel after me" Grissom whispered back
"Cool" she leaned over and kissed Grissom on the lips.
Sara's eyes scaned over the page again and again, stopping at the same spot.
1977? He would have been just out of collage... 21?
Under the birth certificate was a scattering of photographs all of thismini Grissom.
The first thing she noticed was that the child had her husband's chin and jaw even his hair.
His strong rounded jaw with that cute little dimple in his chin. Jackson also had Grissom's eyes not really his eye colour yet but the shape... the picture couldn't have been taken more than a few hours after his birth, since eyes were still a very dark blue... All new and Innocent. His hair, fluffy and dark brown in tiny curls just like his daddy there was no doubt about that.
He was everything Sara could ever imagine Grissom's child to look like.
The next photo was of a very young Gil Grissom holding the little blue bundle smiling at the camera.
"Here honey" said young gil to his girlfriend handing her the camera, while he cradled the bundle in his arms, Gil Grissom felt happy, he felt complete.
"gil no you gonna make him epileptic"
"Rebecca there is no scientific proof to that, just take the picture"
"Smile" she said as he held his son in his arms
looked so happy, she'd never seen him that happy, ever. She looked at the next photo, this one was much later.
Jackson looked 2-3 months old the colouring in his eyes just starting to show, it was evident that he had heterochromia.
His left eye dark chocolate brown possibly like his mothers and his right eye a clear ocean blue like his father. On his face a sweet little smile. Sara turned the photograph over, in Grissom's beautiful hand, written on the back it read
Jacks first smile for daddy 21st December 1977.
There were more pictures more or less the same but one tugged at her heart. It was a 3 month-old Jackson with a small butterfly on his nose going cross eyed trying to focus on it. Written on the back of that was Future entomologist? 29th January 1978.After that there were no more photos of him as a baby. The next ones where of a gap-toothed 5 year old with thick curly hair grinning at the camera wearing a Chicago cubs shirt and a baseball mitt in hand with a Grissom with matching shirt smiling at the camera too.
She put the photos down.
HE HAD A KID...A WHOLE LIFE BEFORE HER A Son that had been taken away from him. Really why didn't he tell her? She put the photos and the papers back in the box and brought the box into the kitchen.
Was this was the reason for the sneaking off on Halloween... his obviously dead son's birthday.
That's why cases with kids' especially little boys... hit him so hard?
She had to confront him.
Later that week Sara went to Paris to see her husband, she took the box with her.
"I brought some things over for you" she pulled things out of her suit case and placed them on the counter, the shoe box she pulled out last.
"Like what I though there wasn't much stuff left?"Grissom wasn't really taking notice as he shooed hank into the spare bedroom.
"well...condoms" she smirked as she tossed them to him, then she cleared her throat "and Since it's Halloween soon I brought you some jack and a pack of smokes"
He'd been caught.
