Sara was pacing nervously in front of Grissom's desk the next night.
What am I thinking I don't know how to be a parent, and getting Gil to say more than a few sentances a night is a miracle. Maybe things will work out. What if we don't get her, what if she get placed somewhere else.
"Sara, can you stop pacing?" Grissom asked looking up from his paperwork, "You're making me nervous." She sat down in the chair across from him. "Why don't you go home, I'll call you."
"Because you won't call me, you'll get distracted by something." She said.
"Fine well, I have to go talk to Hodges." He said getting up.
After he left the room Sara took his seat and started working on the paperwork. She chuckled seeing that is was several months old, no wonder Ecklie was always yelling at him about paperwork. She jumped when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello, this is child services, may I speak with Gilbert Grissom?"
"He's not here right now, but I'm his fiance Sara Sidle, can I take a message?"
"Sure."
Sara walked down the hallway looking stunned. She saw Grissom talking to Hodges, she walked up to him and kissed him. Hodges looked shocked, and began to look around awkwardly and finally let his gaze settle on his shoes. Grissom looked stunned and didn't seem to notice that Sara had walked away for several seconds. He whipped his head around and ran after her.
He caught up to her as she was leaving the building. "So?"
"I needed some air," She said breathing in the cold night air. "We can go and pick her up in the morning," she said looking up at him smiling.
"Sara that's great!" He said hugging her.
"I'm nervous," She said.
"I'm not, I know you'll be a great mom."
"I think I'm going to go home an try to sleep." Sara said.
"I'll try to leave early."
Sara went home but she couldn't sleep she really hadn't planned on it. She walked into the guest room that didn't really look like a six year old girls room. It was plain and mostly empty considering they never had any guests. Tomorrow they'd have to go shopping. She figured that Violet would need clothes too, because she always remembered that they had been supplies with ill-fitting hand me downs.
What did kids like to do Sara wondered. She had never been exactly the example of a normal child. Where would she go to school, they'd have to look into private schools. Sara didn't really trust the public schools around here, she'd been to way too many school shootings.
The night passed by very slowly. Sara had cleaned the house and changed, and made breakfast for her and Gil. By the time Grissom came home she was waxing the kitchen floor.
"Sara what are you doing?"
"Trying to stop myself from going insane, we have to go shopping after we pick her up. I just realized that our guest room is the furthest thing from welcoming."
Grissom had sat down and was eating the pancakes that Sara had made. Sara nibbled on it but didn't eat much.
When the clock finally read quarter to eight they left. It took forever to get there because of the early morning traffic. When they finally did arrive they had to wait in a small brightly colored sitting room.
"Mr. and Mrs. Grissom, walk just down that hall third door on the right." Said the receptionist. Grissom and Sara didn't have the heart to correct her.
"I feel like we're in a doctor's office." Sara muttered as they walked into another room this one was decorated in pastels. They were forced to wait several more minuets before they heard a knock on the door. An older man walked in with Violet. She was looking at the floor.
"Grissom, good to see you, how've things been?" Said the man.
"Sara this is my friend Bob Holmes." Grissom said introducing him.
Upon hearing Sara's name Violet looked up. Her face was beaming. "You're my new parents?" She asked climbing up onto Grissom's lap hugging him around the neck and leaned over to give Sara a hug.
"Yea, so it's ok then?" Sara asked, her heart melted.
"Yea, I didn't know you were married!" She said.
"Well we're not married yet, but we're engaged." Grissom said.
"Can I be in the wedding?" She asked.
"Of course," Sara said.
Grissom had to fill out a few more papers before they could leave. Violet sat with Sara asking her about Max, and Sara told her about Hank.
"We even have a dog!" She exclaimed. She seemed so excited about everything, almost like she forgot about everything else.
