The next day, Grissom was back to feeling like his normal self.
"So, are you going into the lab today?" Grissom asked Sara, playing with her hair.
"Well, I've given it a lot of thought Gil, and yes, I am returning to the lab today. I dont want to keep anymore secrets with the team. They've done so much for me, and it doesn't seem fair. So thats why were going to tell them about us getting married! " she exclaimed.
"Are you sure honey? Is this what you want?" he asked her, shocked at her announcement.
"Of course I am," she said as she threw her arms around his next and hugged him.
"Haha, ok then. Let's go get ready for work and head it." he said as he started climbing out of the bed.
"In the meantime, lets get a shower" Sara said in a low seductive voice.
"Sounds good to me," Grissom responded with a huge grin painted on his face.
"RACE YAH THERE!" Sara screamed, jumping off the bed and running out of the room.
"Ok, lets DO this." Sara said as she climbed out of the car and headed for the lab.
They entered the building, and Judy greeted them, surprised at seeing Sara's return. They headed into the break room where they could here everyone chatting away.
"Hello everyone," Gil said as he entered the room.
"Yeh... hey... hello..." People responded not even looking up.
"Hi!" Sara squeaked.
"SARA. OH MY GOODNESS SARA YOURE HOME!" Catherine screamed as she jumped up and ran over to her and gave her a big bear hug.
They all took their turns welcoming her home.
"Welcome home sweetie," Nick said as he hugged her.
Greg wouldn't let go of her when he hugged her.
"Um, Greg, Yeah, time to let go," Sara said as she pried herself away from his grasp.
"SORRY!. Im just so happy to see you!" he exclaimed
"So when did you get home?" Catherine asked, a little teary eyed.
"Well, two days ago actually. I stayed home and took care of Gil though, thats why I wasn't in."
"I see I see,"
"Oh and Gil, I see you are feeling much better then the last time I saw you," Catherine nodded, kissing him on the cheek.
"Yes, I am, thanks again for looking after me for a while,"
"Well, I sort of have an announcement," Sara said after everyone sat down at the table.
Grissom came up behind her, and put his hands on her shoulders.
"I would like to let you all know that well.. We are getting married!"
"WHAT?! OH MY GOSH!," Catherine squealed.
"Congrats man," Warrick said patting Gris on the back.
"THIS IS SO EXCITING!" Catherine screamed. She was happy for her friends. They deserved each other.
"Married huh?" Greg said lamely, but put a huge grin on his face. "Congrats guys!"
"When is this wedding?" Nick asked excitedly.
"What wedding?" Ecklie asked as him and Brass walked in the room.
"Me and Grissom are engaged." Sara stated matter of factly.
"Oh really now," Ecklie started..
"PUMPKIN REALLY?." Brass exclaimed as he hugged her.
"You better be good to her Gil, you hear?" he told him.
"Of course!" he replied.
"When is this wedding?" Nick asked again, waiting for an answer.
"Well, we want something small. But we want to have it soon, so we were thinking in atleat a month or two." Gil replied.
"Sara! You have so much work to do! You've GOT to get planning. Do you need any help, because I will help you with whateve ryou need." Catherine said.
"Well, actually. The first thing I need help with is finding a maid of honor... And I was kinda hoping you'd be it." Sara replied staring at the face tearing up in front of her.
"Of course!. Sara, I'm shocked. I'd be honored!" Catherine replied wiping away her tears.
"Ok enough of this, lets get back to work people," Ecklie almost shouted walking out of the room.
Catherine took Sara by the arm and started pulling her towards the door.
"Ok, so have you picked out a dress yet? and where are you going to have the ceremony. Oh Sar, I cant wait, its going to be so beautiful, and..." she continued on.
Sara looked behind her and saw Gil staring back at her. She gave him a warm smile and mouthed "Love you, see you soon!" he nodded and mouthed back, "Love you!"
Sara turned her head and got back to listening what Catherine was saying. She was in for it!
