Grissom blinked nervously. "Cath......?"
Catherine just stared at him with a blank expression on her face, then her eyes gazed down at the box in his hand. When she saw the nervous look on his face, mixed with a hint of disappointment and fear, she literally jumped off the bed, ran to him and kissed him passionately.
"Of course!!!!"
Grissom let out a heavy sigh of relief, holding her tightly, "Thank God...All's well that ends well"
"You know I'm a sucker for happy endings" Catherine said, her arms around his waist.
She looked radiant, more beautiful than ever. He was so absorbed in her blue, sparkling eyes that he almost forgot to give her the ring.
"oh, right" Grissom shook his head, trying to get out of his trance and he held up the box.
She smiled at him brightly, taking the box from him. Her eyes widened when she looked at the ring and loud laugh escaped her lips. The ring in the small box wasn't an ordinary one, it was a small silver ring adorned with a little silver spider. Grinning, she playfully hit him on the shoulder.
He chuckled." Will you be my Mary Jane?"
"Of course I'll be your MJ, .......tiger." Catherine answered with a teasing wink, while putting the ring on her finger and holding it up to the light so she could admire it.
"This is not the real thing though. As soon as we find the time, you, me and Lindsey are going to go to the jeweller and pick out a real engagement ring"
Catherine giggled and couldn't stop smiling although her face actually began to hurt. The last time she had been this happy was when Lindsey was born. She could feel her heart flutter with happiness with every beat.
"What's this?" Grissom said in mock surprise. "Catherine Willows...speechless?"
"Catherine Grissom" she corrected him. "And, although it's very cliché to say; I think I just don't have the words to describe what I'm feeling right now."
"How about very much in love?"
"VERY" she said with a big grin.
"Good. Because 'There is no remedy for love but to love more'."
He pulled her close and kissed her fiercely. Arms wrapped around each other, they began stumbling back to the bed but Catherine suddenly pulled back when she heard a soft, unidentified noise coming from the hallway.
Almost out of breath, Catherine, who still had her arms wrapped around her fiancée, called out, "Linds?"
Grissom frowned in confusion but then began to smile when a small snickering blonde entered their bedroom. "You were Kiiiiiiiiiissing!" the little girl shrieked and began to laugh, hugging her stomach.
Catherine shook her head and also began to laugh as Grissom let go of her and held his arms out to his little princess.
Lindsey giggled happily and jumped into his arms. "I couldn't sleep because you were talking and the lights were on" she said, looking at her mother accusingly. "Can I sleep with you. Pretttty please??"
Grissom first looked at Catherine and when she nodded, he gave his 'okay'. "Good!!!" the little girl replied. "I just have to get Mr Brownie, Charlie, Barbie, Ken, My Baby, Barney, Toto and Mr fish"
Grissom let her out of his arms and she ran back to her room. Catherine had already gotten back into bed and he quickly joined her.
"One last kiss before Linds comes back?"
Catherine raised an eyebrow at his eager request, but smiled. "Yeah, I think you deserved that, my Bugman"
"Just 'my man' will do" He answered with small smile.
"Okay" she said, leaning in, their lips mere inches away from each other. "I love you, my man. Thanks for making my sixth dream come true"
He smiled but before Grissom could answer she quickly pressed her lips against his. He gladly returned her kiss but when they heard the light, quick footsteps approaching, they broke apart.
"We' here. Stop kissing now" Lindsey said, wrinkling her little freckled nose as she entered the bedroom, eyes closed, armed with 8 stuffed toys.
When Gil and Catherine didn't respond, she first opened her left eye to make sure the coast was clear. With a small nod of approval, she opened the other and ran towards the bed, diving between Gil and Catherine, losing a few toys on the way.
Lindsey snuggled in between the two of them, her head resting on her mothers shoulder, her hand on Grissom's arm.
Gil switched off the light and softly whispered his goodnights. He got a soft 'Night' from Catherine and a loud giggle from Lindsey in reply.
The two adults closed their eyes and began drifting into a comfortable, happy sleep, when the little girl laying in between them suddenly asked,
"Can I be bridesmaid? Cause I want a white dress. And flowers. And white shoes. Or pink. And I want Greg to come too. And Jessica and Hailey from school. I don't like Bobby, he's my.arc enemy. And Joey's stupid too. I don't want him to come to our wedding. All boys are stupid except for Greg. He's silly. Can I have flowers in my hair? I'd like flowers in my hair. ..And Mr Brownie needs a suit too, I saw that once on tv where a bear was wearing a suit.. And I want pink lipstick like mommy...And maybe..."
Grissom and Catherine both sighed and feared they wouldn't get much sleep tonight. Then again, they were both too excited to actually sleep. Grissom also silently wondered how long Lindsey had been eavesdropping, since they never told the little girl about the wedding plans.
"Purple maybe. But I want a big cake, like auntie had, Mommy. With lots of whipped cream and sugary things. And you can use my Barbie and Ken to put on the cake, cause I have two named 'Mommy' and 'Uncle Gil'. I think I'll need socks with white frills. Jessica got socks with white frills when her big sister married. And ribbons in her hair, I want ribbons too and ...."
