You Can Still Be Free Chapter 3~~Hospital Waiting Room~~
Baby you're all that I wantWhen you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
Catherine and Grissom sat silently, their hands clasped together. Catherine had her head resting on his shoulder. "Gil?" She whispered softly.
"Yeah Cath?" Grissom answered.
"Do you think we should postpone the wedding?" She wondered aloud, lifting her head off his shoulder to look at him.
"Why would we do that?" Grissom stared at her, unsure of where she was going with this.
"Well, Sara is to one of my bridesmaids. I want to make sure that there won't be too much pressure put upon her."
Grissom pulled her against him, holding her tight. "You know what I love about you?"
Catherine smiled a little. "Yes, but I don't mind hearing it again."
Oh thinking about our younger yearsThere was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
That's over now
You keep me coming back for more
"You are a very understanding woman. You care so much for others, that you worry about how things will affect them, rather than how they affect you."
Catherine grinned a little. "So, I'm generous to a fault. I tend to be that way for people I genuinely care about."
Grissom kissed the top of her head. "After we drop Nick and Sara off, how about I give you that foot massage I've been promising you lately?"
Catherine's grin widened. "You're on!"
~~Nick and Sara~~
"Nick?" Sara asked, her head resting on his shoulder.
"Yes love?" He responded, the voice that was once full of joy, was sullen.
Sara lifted her head off his shoulder, and stared at him. "Are you okay?"
Baby you're all that I wantWhen you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And loving is that I need
And I'm finally there in your heart
I'm finding it hard to see
We're in heavenHe chose that moment to break. "No. No I'm not okay. I shot someone Sara. Someone who is now lying in the morgue on a cold metal slab. I have never had to fire my weapon once in my life. Not once, and now, all of a sudden, this happens, and I can't shake the guilt that I could have handled the situation differently." Nick stalked from the room and walked to where Grissom and Catherine were waiting, leaving Sara staring at his retreating back.
~~Later… At Grissom's Place~~
Catherine slipped off her shoes and walked over to where Grissom was sitting on the couch. Sitting down at the other end, she swung her legs up and placed her feet on his thighs. When he made no movement, she cleared her throat and wiggled her toes in his direction. "Ahem."
Grissom pretending to ignore her and stared ahead at something on the television.
Now nothing can change what you mean to meThere's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
"I know that you're ignoring me Gil Grissom!" Catherine stated. "You never watch football. You say that it's a bunch of mindless Neanderthals running around knocking each other down. So I don't understand why you are so riveted now."
Is that what I am watching? I wasn't really looking at the screen, he thought, chuckling to himself. "You've got me, Cath. What can I say…"
Catherine wiggled her toes. "It's not about what you say… it's about what you do! Put your hands to work baby! My tender tootsies are waiting!"
Now our dreams are coming trueThrough the good times and the bad
I'll be standing there by you
Grissom smiled. "Yes dear."
Catherine laughed at him. "You sound so domesticated."
"Is that such a bad thing?" Grissom mumbled.
"No.. It's not…" Catherine scooted a little closer to him. Leaning up she kissed him. She felt his hands leave her feet. He wrapped them around her and pulled them closer. Catherine smiled. "Maybe the foot massage can wait."
And you're loving is all that I needWhen I'm finally there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
