It is late, i am tired but i was determined to get this posted cause its been over a week since I posted and I needed this posted.
Enjoy:
A week passed and Sara was still in the hospital, but it was her birthday. She was sleeping soundly at five am when Grissom stopped in after not being able to sleep all night.
Look at her. She so beautiful, why does she wanna be with me.
He must have been making some kind of noise because Sara moaned and slowly awoke from her sleep.
"Grissom?"
"Oh my god. I'm sorry Sara."
"What are you doing here? Is it night time already?"
"Nah, I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd come and see you."
"What time is it?"
"Five in the morning."
"Grissom, do me a favor and go home. Sleep please."
"I can't. I've been trying since nine last night."
"Oh Gil, there's a recliner over there, try and sleep here please."
"Okay, fine."
Grissom went and sat in the recliner and slowly fell sleep. Sara did too but the next time she awoke, she was alone, but there was a note on her bed and a mysterious box next to her.
Sara,
Happy ninth Birthday, I know I came in really early today. But still, I wanted some time with you, alone. You're so beautiful, everything a guy would really ever want. I mean, your smart, beautiful, forgiving, loving, kind, and most of all, your mine. Happy birthday.
With Love,
Grissom.
She looked at the small box for a moment, it was blue with a white ribbon. She slid the box out of the ribbon and opened it. Inside was a butterfly pendent on a silver chain. She looked at it a for a moment before looking at the back.
On the back of the necklace, there were words engraved in the metal.
For my butterfly, love the bug man
She just smiled and put the necklace back in the box. She took out her phone and looked at the time.
3:45 pm
He should have been here by now, she thought to her self.
"Sara?"
She looked at the nurse who was standing in the door frame of her room.
"There's someone here to see you."
"Who?"
"It's a group of people."
Sara shrugged, "They can come in."
"Okay."
As the nurse left, Grissom, Morgan, Catherine, Warrick, Nick and Greg walked in.
"Happy Birthday," they said almost all together.
"Thanks guys."
"Hey, what else could we do for our friend in the hospital."
"Well, this is perfect. I get released tomorrow. Maybe we can all hang out for a while."
"Yeah, I think that'd be good," Nick said.
"Great idea Sar, you always know what to do," Grissom added.
Sara smiled at him and grabbed his hand.
"I think you forgot something."
"What?"
She pulled her self out of the bed and wrapped her arms around him in a hug.
"Thank you, by the way," she said, her smiling widening.
"For?"
"The note, the necklace."
"Oh, no problem. Its never a problem for you."
He hugged her again and when they parted, she looked into his deep blue eyes.
"Acchem."
The noise snapped Sara out of her mind blowing daydream and back into reality.
"Vomit," Warrick said as Grissom sat down on the bed, holding hands with Sara.
"Hey, at least we aren't making out like…"
"Aye! You said you'd never bring that up!"
"Like you and that Tina kid last year in the fifth grade!"
"Yo man, that ain't right!"
Sara couldn't help but laugh at what had just happened.
"That's not even the best part Sara. Tina and Warrick Smooth A here got caught making out in the tube slide on the playground during recess last year."
That caused Saras small, ample amount of laughter to erupt into a fit.
"Griss!"
"The girl needs cheered up and look at her," Grissom smiled and grabbed Saras hand loosely.
"She's happy."
"Yeah, she is."
Sara rested her head on Grissoms chest as she calmed down.
"So, you get out tomorrow, anyone wanna meet up at my house? Play video games and maybe even sleep over," Nick asked.
"I'd love to, as long as its an easy game," Sara said, her arm in a sling waving in the air, "It'll be kinda hard for me to play."
"Isn't your arm on a cast too though?"
"Yeah but I've also kinda dislocated my shoulder."
"Really?"
"An air bag exploded in my face, yeah, it dislocated my shoulder."
"Alright, Super Mario Party 5 it is then. With a meat lovers pizza…"
"Uh, guys, I only eat chicken. No red meat."
"Okay, a meat lovers pie, and a plain pie?"
"Sounds good to me."
"And I will have my mom give me money for milkshakes or smoothies?"
"Milkshakes," everyone said in unison.
"Alright, so I think some of us got a certain birthday girl presents."
"So, Sara, how about a cup cake first."
Grissom went into the fridge in the room and grabbed the cupcakes he had snuck in that morning.
"You guys didn't."
"We did."
Grissom opened the cupcake container and handed Sara one. He put a light up candle into it.
"Happy Birthday, Butterfly," Sara read off of the cupcake.
"Hey, it fit."
Sara laughed and thought about what she wanted for her birthday and turned off the candle. Everyone grabbed a cupcake and ate before one by one handing Sara a present.
Catherine got her a bracelet with butterflies on it.
Morgan had found out her shirt and pants size and got her a light blue butterfly shirt and a pair of normal blue pants.
Greg and Nick both got her a $25 ITunes gift card.
Warrick got her a $20 visa gift card.
But Grissoms second gift was the best.
"I know I already got you that necklace, but I got you two more things. Sara, don't think this is too much but you make me happy and I wanna make you very happy."
He handed her a long box and another small box, looked like her necklace box.
"Gil, you're too sweet."
She slowly unwrapped her small box and when she opened the box and placed her hand over her mouth. She had just gotten her ears pierced the month before and he was the first to notice.
"Gil, they're beautiful."
"I knew you'd like them."
They were sterling silver earrings, in the shape of butterflies.
"Open the other one."
She removed the blue and white ribbon and opened her last gift and as she looked at it, her eyes swelled with tears. In the box was the last piece of the three piece set of butterfly jewelry.
"Gil, this is amazing. I mean, you had the necklace engraved and now this," she said tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Oh Sara, honey."
He sat back down next to her again and wrapped his one arm around her as she cried.
"No one, has ever done something like this for me. I mean no one. Not my dad, not my mom, not Tyler; Gil you are just so sweet."
"Sara, I did this for you cause I, I love you."
It was the first time he had said that to her, and they'd only been 'dating' for a week.
"I, I. Gil."
"Shh, you don't have to say anything Sara. I love you, and I always will."
"I love you too."
"Why don't we give these two a minute."
Everyone went out into the hall and waited a few minutes.
"Sa, Sara."
"I love you Gilbert Grissom. I think I have since I saw you walking over to me."
Grissom cupped her face and kissed her forehead.
"I love you Sara."
He laid in her bed with her, his on arm around her. Five minutes later, everyone walked back in and Sara was asleep with Grissom.
"Shh, we'll see them again tomorrow," Catherine whispered as everyone was hearded out of the room by Warrick.
The next morning, Sara awoke in Grissoms arms.
"Morning Beautiful."
"Morning Gilbert."
"When do you get released?"
"As soon as Doc, I mean, Arizona comes in and gives me the papers. She knows that Ty is at work and so is my mom so she said that as long as I go home with someone close to me I'll be good and I'm sure she'll be fine with that someone being you."
"I am."
"Arizona, can I please go home?"
"Yes you may, but first I'm gonna need you to call your brother."
"Yes Arizona."
Sara had Grissom hand her her cell phone and she quickly dialed her brothers number.
"Sara, Sara what's wrong?"
"Nothing Tyler, Doctor Arizona wanted to talk to you before I signed my papers."
"Oh Okay."
"I'm gonna put you on speaker… alright, Arizona."
"Hi, Tyler. I'm Sara's doctor, my name is Arizona and um Sara is doing really good. Her arm is still in the cast and sling for now but in about two or three weeks she can have it removed."
"Alright."
"Now, Saras ribs may still give her some pain so I'm gonna give her some pain meds, they will knock her out at night. I do recommend that she take a normal pain reliever every morning and when she does feel too much pain. Now, one last thing. Is it alright that Sara friend Gil Grissom signs for her release? Normally I wouldn't do this but your working and Mr. Grissom's here right now and Sara is ready to go back out there and back to school."
"Of course."
"Thanks Ty."
"No problem Sis."
"Ty, Grissom and I are gonna head to the house and then over to Nicks. We may stay the night there with everyone."
"Alright Sara, leave a note for mom."
"Will do."
"Love you."
"Love you too."
I worked very hard on this so I hope you liked it! Leave a review if you could please.
