What He Always Wanted
Amy woke up the next morning to the sound of Julian yelling to be let out of bed. Luckily she had a three bedroom apartment so when one of the twins would wake up it wouldn't disturb the other. Amy got up and took care of Julian getting him ready for the bed. She asked the little tyke if he wanted to go see grandpa today. Julian started jumping up and down saying yes bugpa, wanna see bugpa. Julian was used to looking at Grissom's bugs. So when Julian had started to talk, he called Grissom bugpa. It made all of them smile everytime he would say. Samantha simply called pap pap. They each had their own personalities. By the time Amy had finished getting Julian ready and gave him something to eat for breakfast, Samantha had woken up, so she repeated the cycle with Sami. When she brought Sami out, Julian looked at his sister, and told her they were gonna see bugpa today, Sami started getting excited too. With how busy Grissom had been they never saw him when they were over at his house, they spent all of their time with Sara and Danny when he was home. Sara had easily fallen into the role as grandma, which Amy was happy about, because not only did Julian and Sami have a grandpa they had a grandma now as well. The twins hadn't been able to say Danny's name yet so they just called him D for now. Danny didn't treat them like his niece and nephew he treated them like he was their friend. Amy had the perfect family, with thought of family, Amy's thoughts raced back to last with Greg.
Greg kissing her had been completely unexpected on her end. Her mind had been racing since then. Her mind and heart where telling her to go to Greg. Then the other part of her mind was telling her that no one else would approve of the two of them getting back together because of the way things had ended. She only recently found out from Sara was the reason that Grissom hadn't been to fond as Greg as a person is because he was always flirting with her, even after the two of them had been seeing each other. Sara couldn't blame Greg, no one knew that Gil and her were together, not until after Natalie kidnapped her, then Greg stopped and said he was happy that she was finally happy. Yeah Sara had been happy with Grissom but she wasn't happy. Sara had told Amy her story about her parents, she had let it go years ago, but it didn't stop her from missing her father no matter how abusive he was. Amy called Sara up to make sure they were going to be home today, the kids wanted to see them, and she wanted to know if it was ok if they spent the night. Amy, Julian, and Sami may have moved out but Grissom had gone out and bought cribs for the twins for whenever they did spend the night. Sara said that was fine, and Amy told her that they would be over sometime after lunch. Amy was planning on going to see Greg, to talk to him about last night. After Amy had hung up with Sara, she called Greg, and asked if he was going to be home tonight, neither of them had to work tonight. Amy asked him if it was ok if she came over later, Greg asked her if she was bring the kids, she told him no, she wanted to talk to him, alone.
Then next six hours dragged by very slowly, Amy had even taken the twins to see Catherine, and that didn't even seem to speed up time. Though the spent lunch with Catherine, she had insisted. Catherine told her she hadn't seen Julian and Samantha in so long she wanted them to stay. Warwick had been working, had switched shifts a few years after he and Catherine had gotten married. Catherine knew Amy very well she could see the torment in Amy's eyes. Catherine interrupted her thoughts by asking her what was on her mind. Amy responded with nothing. As soon as she said that she regretted it, because Catherine just gave her the "I can read you like a book" look. Amy then told Catherine what had happened last night between her and Greg. Catherine said she wasn't surprised, after she had found out that Greg had changed his mind about being a father, she knew it was only time before he went after getting Amy back. What Catherine was surprised about was that Greg hadn't even said anything he had just kissed her, that wasn't the Greg she knew, had never been that direct with his feelings. Yeah he had flirted with Sara a lot more than ten years ago, but he had been casual about it, in a way relating it to whatever case they had been working on. Greg had revealed to her after he had been attacked, he thought he had a real chance with Sara, after she had told that she didn't come here to process the scene, she had come for him. Then almost a year later Grissom revealed that he and Sara had been having an affair or a private relationship. Catherine told Amy that she supported anything that she did, but she has to be careful not to get hurt again, Catherine told Amy that if Greg hurt her again, that they all would go after Greg this time. She asked Amy if she had told anyone else what had happened, she said she hadn't, she had talked to Sara but it was only about the twins spending the night. She didn't want to say anything to anyone until she was more sure about what she was going to do. Amy looked up the clock realizing it was three pm, she told Catherine she had to get going, that she would come by more often. Amy gathered up Julian and Sami and then headed for Grissoms.
Grissom had insisted on her keeping her key, incase anything ever happened, so when Amy arrived her and the twins just walked right in. Amy let the twins go tackle Grissom he was sitting on the couch watching tv with Danny. Sara walked up to Amy and gave her a hug asking if she was alright. Amy told her that she was, Sara said that she wanted to talk to Amy about something. Amy asked if it was alright if they talked when she came tomorrow to pick up the kids. Sara disappointed said that was fine, Amy gave her a quick hug apologizing and after saying goodbye to her children she left.
As Amy drove to Greg's she wondered what she was doing. She had told Greg before that she couldn't be with again, and here she was with the same feelings she had for Greg after they had been dating for awhile. She arrived at Greg's apartment complex, after calming her nerves she walked to Greg's apartment and knocked on the door. Greg opened the door and welcomed Amy inside. He told her he was surprised she had wanted to come. Amy just stared at him, Greg realizing he was still wearing his running pants and no shirt, apologized to Amy and said he had just gotten back from a run. Amy caught her breath and told him that they needed to talk about last night. Greg led her to the living room and they both sat down on the couch together. Greg started by saying it was just a gut reaction, he saw Amy standing there leaving, and something had overcome him and he just kissed her, he said he was going to beg her to stay but then she had started to cry. Amy told him that it had shocked her more than anything and as soon as he had kissed her she was overwhelmed with emotions. She told that she had broken up with Brandon earlier that day because she realized her heart wasn't in the relationship. At this said Amy noticed Greg had tensed up, had forgotten that Amy had been seeing Brandon. Amy put her hand on his cheek and told him that she was glad he had kissed her. Greg relaxed and asked Amy if she was going to stay for supper, he was going to cook her favorite. Amy smiled and said yes, I'll stay I haven't had your cooking in a long time. The next two hours was spent, with Amy and Greg talking like they used to while Greg cooked supper. Greg had shown her where he kept the wine now, and Amy asked him if had beer, Greg looked at her smiling remembering the girl he fell in love with and said yes it's in the fridge he told her. Amy went to fridge and pulled out two beers giving one to Greg as he cooked and then opening her own, and taking a drink. By the time supper was done, they had both finished their beers, so Amy went and got two more for them. They sat down with their supper, and talked some more. Amy couldn't help but notice that she couldn't stop smiling and flirting with Greg, she felt the same way she did on their first date. An hour later, after they had both finished supper and the dessert, they went into the living room. Greg sat down first motioning to Amy to take a seat, not realizing what Greg was doing, Amy just say right beside Greg and snuggled up to him as they watched the movie. By eight pm, the movie had finished and Amy had fallen asleep on Greg's chest. He just sat there smiling, he thought to himself I'm finally getting my family back. Greg then realized he was going to have to move Amy he had to go to the bathroom. When he went to move Amy she woke up. Startled he reminded her that it was just him, he was just getting up to go use the bathroom. Greg got up and left the room, Amy thought to herself what is she doing. Amy then got up and started to get ready to go home. As she was just getting to the door Greg came back out and asked her where she was going. She walked to the door, and started to open it as she said I'm going to go home for the night. He had walked up behind and put his hand on the door inbetween Amy and her exit, and asked her to please not go. Amy just looked up and seeing Greg's eyes her heart soared again, and she let her body take over, she started to kiss him, startled he pulled back a little bit but the kissed Amy back with his own passion. They started to kiss each other passionately while going back into the room. Before Amy realized it Greg had led her into his bedroom. As he kissed her he leaned her back onto the bed. They both got lost into their want and lust of each other.
Amy awoke the next morning rolling over, to feel Greg there. Smiling she softly woke him up. Greg woke up and just said a quiet hello as he smiled. Amy reached over and gave Greg a light kiss.on his lips. Amy sat up and Greg asked her if she was hungry, she just nodded her head, he said good I'm going to go make breakfast for you, and Amy just smiled and told him that while he did that she was going to go get a shower. Twenty mintues later Amy walked into the kitchen to the wonderful smell of Greg's blueberry pancakes and his special coffee. She sat down at the counter where the plates had been set, Greg smiling placed two pancakes on each of their plates and poured each of them a cup of coffee. Through the entire breakfast they both just sat there smiling at the other. After breakfast was over, Greg left and got himself ready for the day. When he came out he saw Amy still sitting there looking deep in thought. He walked up behind her and put his arms around her, asking what was on her mind. She turned around in his arms gave him a kiss and said I don't want this to end. Greg looked at her and said it doesn't have to, as long as they were together it never had to end. Amy in return looked at Greg, and said if was asking her to be his again the answer was yet, but under one exception, he give up his apartment and move into hers, his wasn't big enough for their family. She told Greg that Julian and Sami each had their own bedroom now and she wanted to keep it that way. He just smiled and kissed her and left for his room. Puzzled she followed after him asking what he was doing when she reached the bedroom door. He said I am packing clothes, you and I are going to go pick up our children and then go home. I'll worry about all of this stuff later. Amy just stood there and smiled as Greg packed his clothes, when he was done he took Amy's hand and led her out to her car. He didn't have to work today but she did. After they were both in her car, she asked him what they were going to do about not having his car. He said well when it's time for you to go to work, we'll leave as a family and me and the kids will take you to my car and you can use my car to go to work. Greg and Amy just sat there in the car holding hands on the way to Grissoms. Amy thought to herself, I wonder what Gil will say when we tell him we're getting back together...
