A/N: Again, thanks for the lovely and encouraging reviews people. They
really made my
day. This is the penultimate chapter. Hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you
think!
Just as the dawn light was filtering through the curtains, Lindsey woke and went to her mother's room. She had opened the door and was about to jump onto her mother's bed when she realized that her mother was not alone. She smiled and left the room without disturbing the slumbering occupants.
Grissom stirred and was aware of a warm being snuggled next to him. He glanced around the unfamiliar room and last night's memories came flooding back. He turned over to look at the sleeping woman next to him. He thanked the Lord for giving him this woman. He was grateful to know that she wanted him as much as he wanted her, if not more. Last night she had proved that without doubt.
Catherine woke up to see Grissom looking intently at her. She felt herself blush as she looked at him.
'Why are you looking at me like that?'
'Morning Cath.'
'Morning Gil.' Cath said with a shy smile.
'I was just thinking how beautiful you look when you're sleeping.'
'I didn't know you had such a way with words Mr. Grissom.' Catherine said flippantly.
'Ah, but there are a lot of things you don't know about me right? Last night for instance.' Gil left the sentence hanging.
'Why you.' Catherine said as she launched herself at him.
Grissom caught her laughingly and planted a kiss on her, effectively halting any further protest.
'Cath, I have to go. We are expected at Nick's soon and you wouldn't want Lindsey to find us like this, do you?'
Catherine shook her head and reluctantly let him go.
Grissom dressed hurriedly and planted a kiss on Catherine's forehead before leaving the house.
After going home to shower and change, Gil went over to Catherine's place to be greeted at the door by an excited looking Lindsey. The little girl was dressed in a pink shirt and dungarees. Her mother was clad casually in a white shirt over a blue tank top and jeans but still managed to look gorgeously sexy. Gil was flabbergasted for a moment.
'Uncle Grissom! Look at my new shoes, are they pretty? Mommy got them for me.' Said Lindsey, waving her right foot at Grissom and bringing him out of his reverie. 'Why, they are really nice Lindsey. I'm jealous. Do you think your mommy would buy me a pair of shoes just as nice as yours if I asked nicely?' 'She might, if she thought you had outgrown your shoes like Lindsey did' said Catherine as she walked up to them. Lindsey giggled and walked over to Grissom's Tahoe.
As she reached Grissom Catherine leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the mouth before getting into the car.
Boy, we look like a family, Grissom thought as he drove towards Nick house, with Catherine sitting beside him and Lindsey chattering away happily in the backseat.
