The Last Moment

They knew Grissom was going to shout at them for doing this without telling him, but Catherine was so sure about it, that Nick and Warrick thought she would be able to handle a pissed off Grissom.

Knowing that Sara was at a crime scene, and that she wouldn't get back until a few hours, Catherine, went to Greg and Sara's place. There, he was waiting for her; they had almost everything thought out.

"Well, look who's here" Catherine said as he opened the door for her, Greg knew she was going to lecturer him about living work like that, but he didn't care.

"Thanks for coming, I really need a little help with the flowers" he said with a worried tone, when he saw Catherine's face as she entered the apartment.

Everything was full of roses of different colors, and the air was full with a beautiful scent. Catherine's jaw dropped when she saw such a mess...this was going to be a long afternoon.

"When you said you wanted to give Sara a surprise for her birthday, I didn't get the part when you said you were going to use your house as botany!" The blonde looked at Greg with eyes wide open and trying to keep her voice low enough.

"I'm sorry, It's just I wanted this to be the perfect day for her, and I think I exaggerated a little". Even he was surprised of the sight of they're own apartment.

"Oh God we're going to spend the whole day here...but don't worry, I'll help you", Catherine sighed at looked at him, what else could she do?

"Oh thank you, thank you! I promise I'm going to make up this favor for you!" he hugged the blonde, she was like the mother he never had and he's always wanted for him.

"Get away from me, and let's start fixing this mess" she said as she walked away from his embrace. She wasn't pissed at him; she just wanted to get the job done before Sara arrived.

The fact was that besides the huge mess, he hadn't missed a detail about the flowers. Having a big experience from college, he chose every bunch carefully. There was five bunches of red roses, which signifies eternal love; three bunches of yellow roses, which signifies eternal friendship; and three bunches of white roses which signify purity and eternity.

They put them all over the house, mixed in bunches of one yellow, one red and another one white. It was also full of big red bows everywhere. The only sight of that made Catherine laughed to herself...he was so damn in love with her, that even she was able to understand how much he cared for her.

After a few hours of running through the apartment with different roses, the apartment itself was full of petals of different colors. Actually that wasn't part of the plan, but it only made it more beautiful. Finally they managed to take a rest, Greg dropped into the couch and Catherine made herself comfortable in the armchair.

"I still don't know how to thank you for this Catherine, I'd never be able to finish in time without your help" he said, still breathless.

"Don't worry about it Greggo. Now, I have to get back to the lab if I want to keep my job until Lindsey gets one of her own, so see you later". As she said so, she stood up, scrutinizing the beautiful sight one more time before leaving.

Greg sat up on the couch studying the place after the blonde was gone. Actually, they had made a great job; the apartment looked wonderful, all full of flowers in the right places and covered in a breath-taken scent. I hope she likes it...he thought, still a little worried.

MmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMm

At the lab, Sara was just arriving from the crime scene. The truth was that she had finished with her case a while ago, but when she called Nick to tell him she was coming back and that she needed to talk to Catherine about the case, he panicked and asked her to make a few 'errands' for him, to keep her away from the lab while Catherine was gone.

When she entered the break room, all of her co-workers and even her boyfriend, who she hadn't seen in a while now, were there. It was obvious shift was over.

"Well people, go home, take a nap, and keep your cells on, I'll call if anything comes up" Grissom said glancing at all of his employees.

The CSIs groaned at his comment before standing up and make their way to the lockers room. Sara walked besides Greg on their way.

"How was your day? I haven't seen you in a while" she said with a soft smile on her face, she had really missed him, and so did he.

"I was busy with a few, err, things, you'll find out once we get at home". He glanced at her to see her expression, she did look a little confused, but she just nodded.

MmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMmMm

He was so nervous he was about to explode, but he wanted to keep appearances not to ruin the surprise. He opened the door slowly, moving to one side of the door to let her in first.

Once she was inside, she dropped her purse and covered her mouth with her hands. She couldn't believe it, was that their place? Or were they at the paradise?

"You...You did this?" she managed to say after a few minutes of standing still without moving.

He was afraid to answer, it was still impossible to him to understand her reaction; whether she loved it or she hated it.

"I did...Happy birthday, Sara" he said standing in front of the door. She turned around, and he could see a tear dropping from one of her eyes. Great, I made her cry.

"Oh My God...you did this for my birthday? I thought you've forgotten..." She was speaking in a very shaky tone, she was shocked.

"Of course I haven't Sara, it's more important than my own birthday for me". That comment was enough for her; between sobs and laughs she went to straight to him and hugged him so tight that she almost aimed him to the floor.

"Do you like it?" he asked, hugging her back, as he laughed of her reaction.

"No one has ever done something like this for me before...of course I like it; I love it, just like I love you". He smiled as he lifted her from the floor a little in their embrace.

"I love you too; I hope you know how much you mean to me". They stayed in that position for a few minutes, after they made their way to the couch.

Sara took a red rose from the bunch, and stared at it with a smile on her face.

"Wow, you're making this decision so hard to me". Greg was staring at her, and the rose.

"Which decision?" she said raising an eyebrow at him, still smiling.

"I don't know who of you is more beautiful, whether the rose of you. Let me think a little bit...you". His comment made her laugh; he was so cute sometimes, without being mushy.

"You're such an old fashion boyfriend, that's one

Of the things I like about you". They stared into each other's eyes for a second, before he leaned in and kissed her deeply. She wrapped her arms around his neck, rose still in hand. He broke apart a few inches minutes later.

"When it's nighttime, I'll go for the candles". She laughed, before kissing him again, knowing that now, she had chose the right person to love; someone who returned her feelings, put her first before his job, and respect her over all of her decisions and opinions...and he was handsome...really handsome.
