Chapter 25

Earlier that day…

Sara awakens early hearing movement downstairs. Today she was getting married. She smiled as she stretched. Turning over she find Grissom awake as well.

"How long have you have you been watching me" she asks before leaning over to kiss him good morning. Before she can pull back he pulls her closer deepening the kiss. They only separate when oxygen becomes an issue. "Well good morning to you too" She now adds.

"All night" he tells her making her confused,

"All night what?" She questions him running her fingers through his hair.

"Is how long I've been watching you." He answers and her hand stills.

"All night" she asks again, "You didn't sleep. Baby are you nervous. You haven't got cold feet have you" she pushes herself up into a seated position searching his eyes worried by what she may find.

"Honey, no." he sits up as well drawing her into him. "this is the most right thing I have ever done. I just can't believe this is real. Your mine."

"I've always been yours Gil. You just did not always see it" She tell him resting her head on her chest. "today were just making it legal" they hear a knock and they look to the door as it opens and Mary Grissom appears carrying a tray, Sadie behind her with another tray.

"Ahh, good your awake" Mary says with her broken English.

"What's all this" Grissom asks and signs for his mother.

"We made you breakfast in bed" Sadie tells them carefully placing her tray in front of Sara as Mary passed hers to Gil.

"You certainly did" Sara says looking at the food in front on before pulling Sadie to sit beside her "Thank you, it looks delicious" Meanwhile Mary signs to Grissom,

"Sadie wanted to make you breakfast. This is her present to you" She smiles at them before leaving the room.

"I hope you are planning to help us eat all this young lady." he tells Sadie "Why don't you join us up here on the bed" he moves over making space between him and Sara for her to sit and she quickly scrambles across the bed to claim her spot and watches as they take there first bites.

"Do you like it, is it good" Sadie asks

"Mmm, Yummy" Sara tells the girl as Grissom takes a sip of coffee and starts coughing, Sadies head whips around to look at him.

"Went down the wrong way" he chokes out placing the mug on the night stand. "Did you make the coffee too" Grissom asks forcing a smile.

"Yes, I put in some milk and sugar too." She explains to him. Sadie picks up a piece of toast and starts eating. Sara takes the chance to give Grissom a questioning look 'Salt' he mouths back and Sara tries holds back a laugh at his expression.

Later that morning Grissom had left with Brass. Sara was in their bedroom getting ready. Letting out a frustrated breath she once again attempts to pin her hair into place

"Sara, you ok in there" Sara turns as her mother appears at the door.

"My hair won't do what I want it to" Sara tells her ready to give up.

"Let me help" Laura says coming to stand behind her daughter. Sara watches her mother in the mirror as she works. Catching her stare the share a smile. "I never thought I would be able to share this day with you. I'm so happy to be here" Laura admits as she pins the last strand to hair into place.

"I never though I would be here either. Marriage wasn't something I ever saw myself doing. It wasn't ever something I needed to do, but when Gil asked nothing could have made me say no." Sara turns around facing her mother. "the fact you are here just makes this day happier, my whole family is here to share this day with me." they share a hug stepping back only when someone clears there throat. Sadie and Mary are also in the room now, Sadie dressed in her new purple dress she had fallen in love with the moment she seen it.

"Wow look at you" Sara says taking Sadie's hand and twirling her. "You look just like a princess" she tells the beaming girl. "I was just about to put on my dress and I need someone who can help me zip it up… Do you know anyone who can help?" Sara asks.

"Me. Can I do it" Sadie asks jumping up and down causing Sara to laugh.

"I couldn't think of a better helper" Moving over to the closet she pulls out her dress, not a traditional dress, but instead a long pale blue sun dress that perfectly fitted the simple wedding she and Grissom had planned.

Greg arrived at the address on the invitation at the time given. Slightly confused to find it a church. Looking around he wondered why he was there.

"Your right on time. Good" turning around he finds Brass behind him.

"On time for what?" Greg asks him shaking his hand in greeting.

"Let's go in and you can see for yourself" Brass tells him heading up the stairs and opening the door. Greg follows him in and up the aisle to the front of the church. A side door opens and Grissom joins them.

"Greg, I'm glad you could make it" Grissom greets the younger man

"Make what? Can someone tell me what we're doing here" Greg asks still confused as to what is going on.

"Well, I'm kind of disappointed" Brass told Grissom, " You told me this one could work thing out for himself" before turning back to Greg, "Use you power of deduction, what would we be doing in a church that involves two people. Two people you know have been in a relationship" he says slowly watching the realization wash over the younger man.

"You and Sara… Wow. Congrates" Greg now says as excitement takes over.

"Actually, you could answer a question for me" Grissom asks him accepting the congratulations.

"What? Anything." Greg offers.

"How did you find out, about me and Sara, I mean"

"Well, it was kind of obvious when you pulled her into your lap" catching Grissom's confused look he explains "at the hospital a couple of weeks ago… Sara was upset, something about a case… you pulled her into your lap as you comforted her"

"I forgot you were there. Why didn't you share this information with the others, it could have made you very popular" Grissom wants to know.

"I knew you would tell us when you were ready. Plus you had obviously been keeping it quiet for a while I didn't want to be the one to ruin that for you" Greg answers with a shrug.

"Well thank you for respecting our privacy. Sara thought it only fair for you to be here today since you did that for us and I have to agree." they stop when they hear more people enter. This time people Greg doesn't recognize. Two girls run up the aisle as their parents follow, the man with a little boy in his arms. The toddler squeals "bug" at the sight of Grissom and makes a jump towards him causing all the adults to laugh as Grissom takes the child.

"You can see them a little later, ok little man" he tell the boy.

"Bug" Josh repeats again clapping his hands on Grissom's face. Charlie laughs as Grissom tries to pull his head out of reach before another clap. Taking his son back he tells Grissom.

"Well you certainly made an impression. He has not stopped going on about the bugs since he saw them"

"Charlie, you remember Jim from yesterday, and I'd like you to meet Greg. He is a friend and co worker of mine and Sara's. Greg this is Charlie, Sara's brother, and his family" once again hands are shaken as Greg says,

"It's good to meet you… Don't take this the wrong way but Sara has never mentioned a brother before."

"We have only just found each other after 22 years, so I don't worry no offence taken" Greg is told, leaving him now wondering what had happened 22 years before.

"That's are longer story than we have time for at the moment. And it's Sara to tell. She will maybe tell it to you one day but that is her decision to make." Grissom tells him quietly upon seeing the confusion.

When the priest joins them and announces that the bride has arrived everyone takes a seat and they wait while the women make there way up to the front of the church. Grissom is in awe as he takes in the sight of Sara. She smile shyly at him as she comes to stand beside him.

"Hey" she says quietly

"You look beautiful" Grissom tells her taking her hand and giving her a kiss.

"Oy, none of that" Brass calls out "Your suppose to wait till after the ceremony to do that" causing everyone to laugh. Turning back around Sara and Grissom stand in front of the priest.

"Are you ready" the priest asks and as the nod he starts "Dearly beloved…" ten minutes later the priest finishes offering them a smile "…you may now kiss the bride" he tells them emphasizing the now. Sara and Grissom turns to each other grinning.

"Hello my wife" Grissom whispers to her.

"Hello back, husband" Sara answers just before they share there first kiss as a married couple.

Everyone in the church jumps to their feet clapping and cheering with Greg and Brass adding whistles as the kiss continues a little longer than necessary. Breaking apart Mr. and Mrs. Grissom turn to there friends and family as they are joined at the alter.

Present

"Sara, when are we going to meet this boyfriend of yours" Catherine had asked and Grissom could no longer keep the grin off his face so instead chose to keep it lowered struggling not to laugh and give himself away as Sara made a revelation to there friends.

"Actually there is something I have been meaning to tell you all. I no longer have a boyfriend." Sara paused and he held his breath waiting for her to continue "He proposed a couple of weeks ago"

"Oh my God. Where is this man. We definitely need to meet your fiancé" He wished he could have seen Catherine's face as she found out this information but knew he couldn't. he couldn't quite believe how well Sara was holding herself together as she she'd the next bit of news.

"Well, that's the second thing I have to tell you… I no longer have a fiancé either." everyone starts speaking at once.

"Oh my God" Catherine says in disbelief

"Your married" Nick states as the news sets in

"Congratulations" Warrick and Tina both offer

"Let me see the ring" Mandy was the first to grab Sara's hand to see the proof that Sara was in deed married "Did you get an engagement ring as well or just the wedding ring."

"Both, the engagement ring is inside. I'll bring it out later for you to see. It's gorgeous, passed down from his mother"

"Aww, sweet" Mandy gushes.

"But where is he?" Catherine asks "Where is this husband of yours"

"He's around… actually that's som…"She is cut off as Greg runs over.

"Sara, did you know Ecklie just walked into your back yard." He told he as they all turn to look and see Ecklie was indeed walking towards them, a bottle of wine in hand.

"I invited him" Sara replies shooting Grissom a look. Grissom moves into action and steps away from the group towards Ecklie. Unfortunately Ecklie had nearly reached the group when he is greeted by Grissom.

"Conrad..." He starts but in interupted

"Grissom, Sara. Thanks for inviting me. You have a lovely home. Congratulations" he offers not realizing what he had just revealed as everyone's jaw dropped in shock.

Lol... I really enjoyed that...

I was tempted to post chapter 25 as just Earlier that day… leaving you all hanging but I decided that would be a little mean...

I can't wait to hear what you think of this chapter and the fact that I let Ecklie drop the bombshell on the group. I started this chapter straight after i finished the last, i tried to go to bed before i finished it but was unable to switch my brain off so I got back Up and finished. I am working on my patience though so i held out till morning to post it. The next chapter i hope to have done in a day or two. Haven't started it yet so I'll have to find some time to decide where to go next.

Anyway, I'm waiting to hear what you think. Please, please, please review.
