He took her slightly trembling hands in hers and said 'Catherine, I'm not
good with words, but I just want you to know that.you.mean a lot to me.'
'I did this because I ..er.. was.er hoping that .I could make your dreams come true.' Grissom said, stumbling over his words and not daring to look at the woman who could make or break him.
He felt Catherine slip her hands out of his. 'What do you mean by making my dreams come true? Buying me a crib that would be of no use to me?' Catherine said, not daring to believe what she thought he really meant.
'No.' Grissom never thought it would be so difficult to express his feelings for her, feelings that Sara, Nick and Warrick had already picked up on. He thought that she would have guessed that he was not exactly indifferent to her by now.
'I was wondering if you would let me help you to fulfill your dreams to be able to do all that 'shopping for baby' ritual that you missed out on with Lindsey.' He blurted.
Catherine just stared at him, too shocked for words at what she just heard.
Grissom looked away and walked to the window. This was not going very well. Perhaps it was not such a good idea to get the crib after all. But after listening to her, he mind had formed images of Catherine gently putting a baby to sleep in the crib. Their baby. His heart had warmed at the thought and he had came up with the plan.
Catherine recollected herself and finally allowed herself to acknowledge that Grissom was trying to tell her that he wanted more than what they had now. He was hoping that they would have a future together. She smiled to herself and walked over to the slumped figure sitting by the window.
He did not hear her approach until he felt her hands turning him around gently. Then, she bent her head towards his and kissed him.
'Cath?' Grissom asked after they had surfaced for air, both breathing heavily.
'Hmm.?' Catherine muttered before her mouth was on his again, effectively halting all conversation.
After what seemed like an eternity, Gris stood up and led Catherine to his bedroom. Before going in, he stopped at the door and asked her, 'You know that this is going to change things, don't you?'
She nodded and they went inside and all was forgotten except what was happening between them.
