CSI is not mine (sadly)!


Sara's POV

"It could be nothing," Grissom said as he started to push the carriage. "It certainly doesn't look like nothing," I mumbled. "I'll be right back," I said as I took off to greet Peter. "Sara!" Grissom called, but I ignored him- just this once.

"Peter," I said once I was within in his hearing range. "Yes?" he asked still facing the pregnant woman. "Would you mind introducing me to your friend?" Then did he turn to face me. "Sara! This… this is-" he was cut off by the woman. "It is what it looks like. Peter, my fiancé, was spending some quality time with me and our child. I snickered at her, "I didn't ask you, did I?" turning my attention to Peter, I said, "Could I talk to you for a minute? Alone?" Peter nodded as he stood and we walked out of the woman's earshot.

"Don't tell Megan please?" peter asked, "I'm going to divorce her. We both have signed the papers we just need a juror to make it official," I stood shocked. "And you're going to leave her alone with your other child?" I asked.

"It's not mine!" Peter shouted as my eyes threatened to fall out of my head. "The child isn't mine," Peter said calmly. "I don't understand," I whispered. Peter sighed, "We had a big fight one night. Megan got mad and stormed out. At eleven or so, I get a call from the bartender that she needs to be picked up. So, I grab the keys and drive to the bar. I walk in and I see Megan leaving with another man. She hadn't noticed me, so I decided to follow her and the mystery man. They drove to a hotel and that was where I left them. I went back to the bar and Joan and I hooked up," I looked at him in disgust. I had no idea their marriage was this bad. Feeling the need defend my friend and not believing that she really would cheat on Peter, I said, "And how do you know the child isn't yours?"

He sighed, "Since that night I haven't touched her," our eyes locked as my probably shone with anger and disbelief.

"Peter!" the woman- Joan- called from the bench, Peter looked back at her then to me. "I gotta go,"

"I know,"

"And Sara?" Peter asked as he turned to face me, still slowly walking backwards, "For what it's worth, I still love Megan- but she broke my heart, she can't mend that," I nodded as he met up again with Joan.

"Sara?" Grissom asked me lightly as he walked up with Joanna. "Yeah?" I said.

"You want to talk about it?"

"No, let's go back. I'm going to change and then go for a run, if you don't mind," I said as I took Joanna out of her carriage. "Yeah, that's fine. But if you need to talk, I'm all ears," he supplied helpfully. I smiled at him, "I'll take you up on that one day," I said as we walked back towards the townhouse with Joanna in my arms.

Once back at the townhouse, Grissom took Joanna from me and I parked her stroller by the side of the front door. "Hey Grissom?" I called out as I walked into the messy kitchen. "Do you want me to clean this Kitchen for you before I go?" I suggested as I looked around the room. The frying pan from yesterday's eggs has yet to be cleaned and my mess from my pancakes, as well as the mess from Grissom making our delicious lunch, was all still very clear to see. "Don't worry about it," Grissom said into my ear as he stood behind me. Shocked, I jumped forward and spun to face him. We stood a breath apart, "Whoa," I mumbled as I step back. "You startled me,"

Grissom chuckled, "I put Joanna down for her nap. You go run, I'll clean this," I flashed him one of my Sidle smiles and mumbled my thanks before hurrying down the hall towards the master bedroom. Joanna was sound asleep in her pack-in-play crib. Leaning over the railing, I gently placed a kiss on her forehead. I proceed to my luggage and pulled out a pair of running shorts and a tank-top. Stripping out of my dress, I pulled on the running gear and pinned up my loose hair before walking back to the kitchen. Grissom had already made a small dent in the kitchen's mess. "I'm going to head out," I said into his ear as I stood behind him, trying to get him to jump as he did to me. Rather, he calmly turned to face me, our noses grazing ever so slightly. "Okay," he said, "You sure you don't want to talk about it?"

"No, no. A run will help clear my mind," then he did something I didn't expect. He kissed me lightly on the forehead, just as I had done to Joanna minutes previous. Grissom was a little taller than me, but he needed to tilt his head have his soft, warm lips meet the cold skin of my forehead. "Be safe," he whispered as he stepped back and continued to clean as if nothing had happened. I stood there for a moment, it felt as if someone had just hit the restart button on me. "I'll be home before three," I said as I stepped out of the house and onto the front porch. Taking my hat out of the bottom of Joanna's carriage, I walked down the driveway and stood at Grissom's mailbox in order to completely collect myself before I started my run.

Megan and Peter weren't the perfect couple everyone thought they were, I thought. And the fact Grissom was showing me unnecessary empathy since the fact. But empathy none the less.

He kissed my forehead, I took a step down the street. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and pushed everything from my mind. I exhaled and opened my eyes, setting a steady pace into the Vegas sun.

I will worry about this all later, I thought. And I would.
