Disclaimer: like I said before, they aren't mine.
Well, thanks to all who've reviewed! I know this might come as a disappointment to some of you, but this is the last chapter. I hope you all have enjoyed the ride as much as I did!
Oh and by the way...did any of you actually BELIEVE I'd kill Grissom, I mean come on! ;)
If she knew how, Sara would have been doing somersaults down the hall. She rushed into the waiting room with a grin so big it showed the gap between her teeth. He's awake! and he's doing really well!
Her enthusiasm quickly spread to the others. She told them that they could go see Grissom for a few minutes, but then they would have to let him rest.
Thirty minutes later, Sara lie asleep on a couch in the waiting room. Catharine had begged her to go home and get some sleep, but she had refused to leave Grissom alone in the hospital. She was awakened by a doctor being paged over the PC. Looking at her watch, she saw that she had been sleeping for two hours. Rubbing her eyes, she got up and walked to Grissom's room.
He was sleeping when she arrived. Not wanting to wake him, she pulled up a chair and just watched him. Using her investigator's eyes, she noticed every detail. The way his normally impeccable hair was a little mussed and how he looked so vulnerable. She'd never seen him like that before. Watching him breathe, she couldn't think of anything she'd rather be doing.
Well, hello there beautiful. Those words made Sara's heart flutter. it reminded her of when he'd told her that he'd become interested in beauty when he'd met her.
You look pretty handsome yourself. How're you feeling?
Like I've been shot, he mused. No, really, I am feeling pretty good considering. And having you here makes it that much better.
Sara smiled. You know, Gil, you sure know how to make a girl feel special. So. Did you know we've been outed?
Grissom grinned. I suspected. Sara, I'm not sure how to say this.
Go ahead.
I love you Sara, and after almost dying, I know that I can't live without you. We can't just sit around anymore. One of us could be gone in an instant and, well what I am trying to say is, will you marry me, Sara Sidle?
What..I.. uh.. She was rendered temporarily speechless. Thinking of how many times she had wanted to say those words, she couldn't believe how suprised she was.
I know I don't have a rin-
Shh, Gris. That doesn't matter. Of course I'll marry you.
An enormous grin erupted on both their faces as they embraces and shared a kiss.
I do have one problem, though. As much as I love you.....Sara Grissom? I just don't know..
-----Four Months Later-------
I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.
Grissom and Sara had chose to share the best moment of their lives with their friends in a cheesy casino chapel. They decided to go out Las Vegas style since it was their last day living and working there. Instead of deal with hurdles at work, they had decided to go back to where it all had begun: Harvard. Grissom was going to teach there, and Sara had secured a job as a Boston CSI. It seemed the ideal place to start their new life together and maybe even a family.
Saying goodbye to the three people they'd gotten closer to, they headed for the airport. That moment was what both of them had always dreamt of and they knew it would only get better from there.
