Chapter 10
A/N
Grissom set up a candle lit dinner for two; well with Catherine in her state it was more a dinner for four.
"Oh my," She began.
"I really needed to tell you how sorry I am for what I did, I don't know what came over me." Grissom apologised.
"It's ok, just promise you'll never do it again. I can't put these babies in danger."
"I promise. Now, lets eat."
"Please, I'm so hungry!" So they sat down together and ate all the food they could until they were too full. Then they snuggled up together on the couch watching and old love movie.
"This is nice." Grissom smiled.
"Yeah, I wish it would stay like this, no Nick, no Sara, no –" Grissom went to open his mouth but was stopped by Catherine saying,
"No, you say her name and I swear I will never come back."
"Fine, ok, lets just finish watching the movie."
"Yeah." So Catherine rested in Grissoms arms thinking about their babies, but Grissom was thinking only about his baby, Mandy, and how he was going to stop Sara and Nick keeping her away from him…
Nick and Sara were in the bedroom preparing for bed, Sara trying on Nick's present he bought her.
"It looks good." Nick smiled, looking at Sara in her new underwear. Their mood was destroyed though by loud cries from Mandy.
"I'll get her." Sara walked out of the room, not wearing very much, towards her sobbing daughter. Warrick was standing with Mandy, trying to settle her but he stopped when her saw Sara.
"Whoa, nice!" he said, checking her out. Sara quickly covered her body with her hands.
"Warrick! Get out!" she screamed. Hearing this, Nick shot in holding his shirt in his hand, which Sara grabbed and quickly wore.
"Rick, down stairs, now!" Nick said.
"But, but…" Warrick began.
"No, you're the guest. We deal with Mandy, not you." Nick interrupted. Warrick nodded and went downstairs.
"I love him, but he has to go!" Sara sighed.
"Yeah…" Nick agreed
"Tell him, tomorrow." Sara smiled and walked out.
"Gil, I think we should tell the team, I beginning to show." Catherine mumbled, getting dressed for work. As she said this, Grissom's eyes automatically fell onto the finger shaped bruises on her arms. She followed his gaze and quickly grabbed a jacked to cover her arms. "The babies, we should tell the team I'm pregnant."
"No."
"Why not?" Grissom grabbed Catherine's arm and twisted it around her back. She screamed in pain.
"Because then they would think I've given up on Mandy, which will never happen." He snarled, squeezing her arm harder and harder. "You will tell no-one about anything that's going on at home, have you got that?"
Catherine, who was crying from the pain, nodded her head vigorously and Grissom released her arm from his grip. She ran down the stairs, tears streaming down her cheeks and ran to her car, sobbing loudly.
