Grissom and Sara shared a look for a few seconds before both of them glued their eyes to the floor.
'Gil........I........I really need to talk to you........it can't wait another second........' Sara pleaded,sounding like she had just taken a huge burden off her shoulders.
'OK........well......'he said,looking at his watch 'I'm off in a couple of hours.Can we talk then?'
'Gil,you don't understand.I need you now!'
Grissom gave Sara a puzzled look,which she read as 'God,he has no idea,no idea about what I'm about to tell him.'
'Well,I have been putting in a lot of overtime recently,and I've just solved a case,so I suppose I could spare a couple of hours.........' he stammered,knowing that Sara needed him,but not wanting to get fired.
'OK,fine..........just as long as you're there..........'
'Of course I'll be there for you.......' Gil assured her,not sure whether he was crossing some kind of line.
Sara smiled her wide,gap-toothed smile and reached over his desk to hug him,but stopped in mid-air,as she thought this might be a bit inappropriate at work.
Gil smiled back.
'I've just got to drop off some unknown fibres for Greg........shall I meet you in the parking lot?'
'Ermmmmm' Sara stood thinking for a moment 'yeah.We can take my car.'
Sara's heart was beating like there was no tomorrow and as soon as she stepped into the elevator,she smiled again to herself.
Grissom pretended to walk normally going to the lab,but as soon as he saw the elevator doors closing,he broke into a fast jog-he wanted to get back to Sara as fast as he could.
When Grissom reached the parking lot,Sara was leaning against her car,examining her nails.
'Oh hey Grissom.Ready to go?' she blurted out,acting like she wasn't excited and scared.
'Yeah,but I wish you'd explain what it is first.'
Grissom already had an idea of what it was-Sara had planned some romantic drives ever since they started dating,but never on CSI time,and never did she seem as edgy as she was now.No,Grissom didn't think he was going on a romantic drive or a stroll on the beach-something was wrong.He didn't know how to explain it-it was a heavy feeling in the pit of his stomach.'Oh God,'he thought.She's going to break up with me,or tell me she's seeing someone else.'
'Just.............just wait till we get there,' Sara explained 'it'll be better that way.'
'And where exactly is 'there'?' he enquired.
'Remember that beach hut?It was so beautiful.....I fell in love with it that day........and you........' she said,blushing at the end.
They both had to look away for a second or two because they were both redder than tomatoes.
When Sara looked up,Grissom was staring at her.
'What........what is it?'
'You're so beautiful.'
This was another signal for Sara to go red in the face.
'Thanks.'
They shared another look for a few seconds,but it seemed like a lifetime.
'We had better go then.........' Grissom said,mentally kicking himself immediately after-he didn't want to break up the moment.It was perfect.It was all he ever wanted.
'Yeah.You're right.' Sara said,but not wanting the moment to ever end.
When they reached the beach hut,it was deserted as usual.No one ever visited it,so it was a perfect location for her to tell Grissom.Funnily enough,it was the place where the baby was conceived.
'Gil,honey,I need to tell you something........it can't wait.I've been putting it off for too long now.......'
'You can tell me-whatever it is,I'll understand,'he assured her,carressing her chin delicately with his fingers.
She smiled.Grissom smiled back.'He won't be smiling in a minute,'she thought to herself.
'Gil........I.........don't know how to say this........I've been over it a thousand times in my head......I.......I'm pregnant,' Sara blurted out,glad that he knew,but worried at what he would say.
Grissom looked shocked.There was an awkward silence for a couple of minutes.
'Gil.........say something........please.........' Sara said to break the silence.
Grissom fell back onto the sofa.He made several attempts to say something,but couldn't get the words out and ended up looking like a goldfish.
Sara sat down beside him.'At least he didn't move away'Sara thought.
'Is it mine?' he said,quite unexpectedly.
'Of course it is Gil.......' Sara said 'you.......you didn't think........did you?' she continued with a frown.
'No.......I.....just.....making sure.' he finished.
'Oh.'
Grissom stared into space for a while.
'Ouch!' Sara yelled,loud at first,but then she stopped herself.
'What is it?Are you OK?' Grissom turned round to face her,snapping out of his daydream,showing genuine concern.
'Yeah...it's just.....no.It doesn't matter.Just forget about it........' she said,while looking at the floor.
Sara didn't know whether to tell him what made her shout out.She thought it might freak him out a bit.And herself as well.
'No.I won't forget about it.Are you hurt?'
'Just-'
'No!Just tell me what it is.'
'The baby kicked.'
Grissom slumped back down onto the sofa.
'Are you OK now?'
'Yeah.It's just a bit of a shock.It's never happened before.I........'Sara paused to think whether to finish the sentence' I guess it was pleased to see it's Daddy.....'
Grissom smiled.Sara hadn't expected that.
'I'm a Daddy?' he asked her,still not sure whether it was his child.
'Yup.You're a Daddy.' she replied,smiling.
Grissom then did something that was totally weird to everyone who knew him.He ran out onto the sand and collapsed on the ground.
'I'm a Daddy..........' he said with a bemused look on his face.
Sara rushed over to the sand to join him and laid down a blanket.
She smiled at him.
'So...you.........you're not going to abandon me.......us,'she asked him,looking down at the slight bulge in her stomach.
Grissom just smiled his faraway smile,like he appreciated the simplest little things.
'Of course not........I admit I was shocked at first but.....I'm happy,I really am.'
Grissom thought Sara had the widest smile he had ever seen,right then.
'I've been going over and over this in my head but I never thought you would actually be........happy.'
'Well I am happy and.........and I know this is kinda unexpected but' he said,running over to a kiosk 'hold on.Bear with me for a second.'
Grissom fished some change out of his pocket and handed it to the man behind the counter.The man smiled at him.
'Hey!Good luck man!' he said,while handing Grissom his purchase.
Sara was truly puzzled now.'Gil,this is not the time for snacks' she thought.
She still couldn't see what Grissom was holding.
He jogged back over to her and grasped her hands.
'Sara...I.......' he wheezed (he was a little out of breath).
'What is it?' she said,getting really curious now.
'I know it's not real or anything but it's the best I could do on short notice.' Grissom said,handing her a candy ring.
'What the-'
'Shhhhhhhhhh' he said,putting a finger to her lips.
Sara smiled and nodded.
'Ahem.Sara Sidle.....will you marry me?' Grissom asked her,getting down on one knee.
'Oh my God.....I.........yes!!!' she replied,not hesitating for a second.
They shared a brief kiss.When they broke away,it was just them,no one else in the world,in that moment.Not even the distant shouts of 'Yeah!You go man!' from the kiosk guy could break their connection.They stared into each other's eyes,only turning away to watch the orange glow of the setting Sun disappear behind the distant hills.
Gradually,they both got up and headed back to the beach hut.
'Hey!'Grissom said when they sat down on the couch' where's my ring?'
Sara blushed.
'I ate it.' she said.
They both laughed.
'What?I was hungry.I haven't eaten in like......' she looked at her watch '10 hours.'
Grissom showed a look of concern.She saw this and grinned.
'Don't worry.I eat enough donuts at night to feed an entire army,let alone 2 people.'
Grissom grinned again.
'And that's not all' she went on 'Twinkies,chocolate bars,oh! and a jam and pickle sandwich.'
'Wow.'Grissom said,sounding quite interested.
'Hey!Pregnant women are allowed to pig out!'
They laughed again.
'Hey.Do you.....I mean you don't have to.....it's just I thought.......do you want to stay at my place tonight?' Grissom asked.
Sara gave her gap-toothed grin again.
'I thought you'd never ask.'
