"Sara, you promised that you would remarry Grissom here in Vegas."
"I plan on keeping that promise Catherine, I just want to see the ocean."
"The two of you basically live on the ocean while sleeping in Ishmael."
"Catherine, after the last time I was kidnapped I got to see the ocean when I ran away from Vegas to avoid a full breakdown."
"Sara, you have more support this time around."
"I have the same type of support, Cath."
"Sara, you aren't working cases at CSI anymore?" Sara leans back into her chair being careful of her ribs, since they are sore after laying on the ground just after getting out of the hospital, "besides we have wedding plans to make."
"Catherine, when I went through everything with Natalie I knew I had the team, but I couldn't ask for help." Sara takes a deep breath, "Now over 10 years later I was kidnapped again and tortured by my brother who I haven't since I was a kid."
"Sara, he is in jail." Catherine reminds her.
"I know that Catherine, but in this city people I love are constantly getting kidnapped, shot, beaten up and more. I did love this city, but now with Gil we barely see anyone while at sea and see very few people when we dock."
"Sara, you have a family here and a future godchild who will need to get to know you." Nick comes up behind them, "Nicky you know what I am saying right."
Nick leans into Sara's ear and whispers, "We need to get Catherine and Lou back together and you are the only one that can help me and Greg as we have known them the longest." Sara gets a slow smile on her face.
"What are you two planning?"
"Oh you know matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match."
"Since when has Sara Sidle known 'Fiddler on the Roof'?"
"Cath, are you forgetting who I am marrying here?"
"You are remarrying the bugman. Let's get to planning the wedding." Catherine gets out a binder and flips to the tab labeled 'Gris and Sara?'
You have a whole section for us?"
"Sara the two of you have always been meant to be together." Catherine looks at what she wrote.
"Cath, you didn't even throw that away when we sent an email detailing our marriage the first time." Sara tries not to roll her eyes and silently reminds herself that she and Nick are going to set up the former couple again. "Out with it Sidle, you have that look that you are planning something."
"Catherine, how many times have you plotted something for any of us out of 12 years that the team was together."
"Not as often as everyone thinks."
"Fine, how many times did you give Gil advice on how to keep me at the lab?" The trio doesn't notice Grissom coming up behind them.
"I thought you loved that plant Sara, and it became a tradition that I sent you a plant with the sentiment saying 'From Grissom."'
"Don't forget you also told your mom how I liked vegetation." Grissom gives water to the three most senior members of his former team.
..That night…..
"So, honey what are you and Nick planning?" Grissom lays on the bed in his blue hawiaiin shirt.
"Catherine hasn't had a happy relationship since Lou and her were together. Nick and I wanted to get them together before you and I got remarried."
"Sara Sidle, are you playing matchmaker again?"
"I wasn't playing matchmaker for Greg and Morgan."
"Are you sure, the last thing you did as their boss was have them carpool to different scenes."
"Gil, that was the first thing." Sara sits on the bed after coming out of the bathroom in a pink robe.
Grissom eyes the robe as Sara plays with his chest hair, "Sara, the first thing you did was promote Hodges and Henry."
After a Sidle smile, "by that logic Gilbert the last thing I did was give the job to Catherine."
"You are right about that, but you were never Catherine's boss. You didn't even see Catherine before you stepped down from being director. You spoke to Ecklie and told him to offer it to her after Lindsey delivered the exit video interview of Heather to you." He kisses Sara before turning off his bedside lamp. Sara gets off the bed and changes into a light tank top and yoga pants before turning in for the night.
.Two days later..
Grissom walks into the living room to see Sara and Nick talking on the couch, "one of us needs to call Catherine and the other Lou." Sara acknowledged. Grissom kisses her on the cheek before picking up her near empty cup of coffee motions towards Nick who shakes his head as if saying he is fine with coffee he already has drank.
On his way back into the living room, "how about we involve Greg by asking him to hire Wendy because Hodges is becoming more like me before Sara started going out with me."
"Bugman, you want to be involved in this plotting?"
"Poncho," Grissom replies with raised eyebrows. "I know all about how Hodges was during his time with Elisabetta. I also remember how he danced around Wendy from the moment she got here." Grissom moves Sara forward a little bit and sits behind her. Nick still isn't used to seeing any of them act like a couple and smiles.
"Gris, just admit you want everyone to be happy like you are with Sara."
"I also don't want anyone to make the same mistakes I did. Letting Sara go was my worst mistake." Sara leans back into Grissom and takes a sip of coffee.
"You made a new pot didn't you?"
"You are an investigator using your sense of taste." Nick gets up into the kitchen and doesn't see a bag anywhere.
"How did you get Greg's secret stash?"
"I bought a bag off of him. I may have already asked Greg to rehire Wendy. The lab needs to get back up to its former position and with what all just happened IA will want to make sure no one gets an out. This isn't the first time a CSI has gotten close to a criminal and the times that people have done dirty work for one too."
Nick comes back into the room, "I am glad I no longer work in Vegas."
"I think we are too Nick. If it wasn't for getting the call, the team would've gotten an invitation in the mail and we would be getting married in San Francisco and not here in Vegas."
