Chapter 11: Still Believe?

November 26, 2034

As dinner was coming to a close, Grissom looked at his 24 year old daughter, Christine, with concern when he noticed her plate of food was barely touched, which was weird in a way since she was the one who had had asked for this family dinner, so he asked after setting his fork down on his plate and placed his hand on top of hers. "What's wrong, butterfly?" Christine looked at her father, and was about to speak, but he continued with a loving look. "And don't say nothing, you usually scarf down your food before I even get halfway done with mine."

She closed her mouth a second later and gave him a small smile as she nodded, then she cleared her throat before looking at mom first then back at her dad. "Mom, dad, there is something I need to tell you guys."

This time Sara gets a loving look as she placed her hand on top of her daughter's. "Whatever it is, you can tell us, sweetheart."

She took a breath a deep breath before finally telling them. "I'm pregnant."

They had to admit they were a little surprised by this, so Grissom cleared his throat and said. "Ok, so..."

Before he could finish, she continued with determination. "And I'm keeping the baby."

Sara softly smiled as she patted her daughter's hand. "I don't think we would have thought otherwise. What about David, does he know?"

David Terry had been her boyfriend for a little over a year, and they thought he was nice enough and well mannered in their company, but they weren't quite sure if he was right for their daughter. They just never said anything because in the end it was their daughter's choice on who she spent her time with, but unfortunately what they always thought came true when their daughter answered her mother's question.

"Yeah, he knows. But it looks like he's not ready for the responsibility."

Grissom had to admit his blood was boiling, if there was one thing he never wanted to see his daughter go through, it was heartbreak, even though he knew it was bound to happen from time to time, and unfortunately he was right because this wasn't the first time. But he had to also admit this one was the hardest to witness, so he gets up from his seat and wraps his arms around her shoulders from behind and kissed her head before whispering. "I'm so sorry, sweetheart. You deserve better than that."

Trying to be strong, she nodded while clearing her throat as she placed her hands on top of her dad's arms. "I know, and as much as what he did stings, he made his choice and there is nothing I can do to change that. I don't have time to dwell on it, I need to move forward, I need to be strong because I have someone else who's counting on me now, and I don't want to let him or her down." The parents smiled, very proud at how strong their daughter was even in the face of a heartbreak, then she took a breath again and continued. "Am I terrified about doing this, especially on my own? Absolutely."

Before she could continue, Sara spoke in encouragement. "But you aren't alone in this, you do know that, right?"

She nodded with her blue eyes sparkling. "Yeah, I do."

After Grissom released her, she stood up and hugged both of her parents before asking. "Can I ask for a favor?"

Grissom whispered. "Anything."

"Can I stay here for a little bit? Just until I..."

He cuts her off immediately. "Of course, for as long as you need to."

"Thank you, I love you guys."

Sara cupped her daughter's cheek with a smile as her eyes were shinning. "And we love you, always."

After another round of hugging, Christine spoke again. "I'm going to go lay down for a bit, I'll eat later, I promise."

"Ok."

She gave them a nod and smile before heading toward her childhood room, needing that familiarity that brought her so much comfort growing up.

Sara and Grissom watched their daughter until she was out of the room, then Sara spoke with her eyes narrowing and her arms crossed. "Is there anyway we can get his address?"

Grissom had to chuckle for a second as he cupped his wife's cheek, his eyes getting a little dark by the end of his sentence. "I believe you know exactly how to do that, but I don't think that would be a wise choice because then you'll have to tell me."

Sara finished it off with a sparkle in her eyes, even though they both were still understandably upset. "And then our daughter will have to be interviewed when we end up on trail."

He then smirked. "Don't tell me you have forgotten the rule? They'll have to find a body first before a trail can begin."

For a split second they let that thought run through their heads, then Sara shook her head with a sigh. "Well, as mad as we are at him, I can't see us actually doing that."

"I can't either." Then he sighed before whispering. "I just wish that she had found someone who would help her through this amazing time in her life."

Knowing exactly what he meant, she placed her hand on top of his that was on her cheek as she whispered back. "And I believe someday some one will come into her life and look at her and her child as if they are his whole world."

"I really hope you're right, because if anybody deserves that kind of love, it's her." Then he smirked with pride. "And I don't care if I'm a little biased either."

Sara chuckled as she shook he her head. "You know what? I agree, Mr. Grissom."

"Well, thank you, Mrs. Grissom."

They kissed softly on the lips before they started picking up the dishes from the dinning room table, but then Sara suddenly stopped as if the news finally hit her. "Grissom!"

He raised an eyebrow at her sudden stop before asking in a concerned tone. "Yeah?"

Not before long, she had the biggest smile on her face with sparkling eyes. "We're going to be grandparents."

Grissom chuckled with a nod. "I know, isn't it great?" Then he walked into the kitchen.

Sara stood there for a few seconds before following him with the smile still on her face.

Yes, they wished things would have been different for their daughter, that she had found a man that would face the consequences of his actions instead of running away like some coward, and while this milestone in their lives couldn't have been imagined years ago, they were very much looking forward to be the doting grandparents. They couldn't wait to spoil the newest little Grissom.

End of Flashbacks

September 2, 2040

When they came back to the present, Sara spoke with a smile. "Why did most of our favorite moments happen on a Sunday?"

He chuckled as he pulled his back from her. "I don't know. All I know is they did, and I wouldn't trade them for anything."

She cups his cheek while speaking with love. "It's been a wild ride, hasn't it?"

He nodded as he placed his hand top of hers. "And one I'm not quite ready to be done with."

"That's good to hear."

They kissed softly on the lips, then after pulling back again, he spoke. "You know all of this reminiscing brought back the thought of a certain movie."

She chuckled before asking. "Is that a hint on something?"

"You in?"

She slipped her fingers through his with a nod. "With you, always."

After one more look at one another, they started walking toward the office door, and just when they got there, she asked. "Griss."

"Yeah, honey?"

"You still believe in true love?"

He stopped them in the doorway, cupped her cheek and whispered while looking into her eyes. "More than ever. I love you, Sara."

"Love you too."

They kissed softly one more time before walking out of the room hand in hand, still amazed after everything they've been through that they had this life with a family that may have been unexpected, but loved with everything they had inside of them.
