Grissom was a nervous wreck. Catherine, Warrick, and Nick could only stare as their always eloquent supervisor stumbled over his words, walked into walls, and fumbled with assignment slips. They all did everything in their power not to laugh at him.
"You finally fell for her, didn't you?" Catherine asked. "I don't know what you are talking about." Gil tried to deny it, but Catherine inched closer and closer towards him. "Grissom, look at yourself. You're acting like a teenager who just saw the girl of his dreams, and you're trying to tell me that you're not in love with Sara."
"I'm going to propose. OK." Gil yelled. Jaws dropped to the floor. No one could believe their ears. Gil was going to ask Sara to marry him. "Well, it's about time," Catherine explained as she gave him a hug. Nick and Warrick offered congratulatory handshakes. Grissom was happy that he told the team. It was like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. They were like family to him.
"Well, how are you going to pop the question?" Nick asked. "I'm not telling." "What he means is that he doesn't know," Warrick added. Grissom just smirked.
"Well, why don't you take the night off so you can prepare," Catherine suggested. "Then, Sara would think I was up to something if I went home now." "Wait a minute, you mean that Sara moved in with you?" Catherine inquired. "Yes, she did. Is that a problem?" "No, not at all," Catherine replied. Grissom quickly composed himself. "OK, car crash on the outskirts of town. I'll been in my office if you need me." Catherine, Warrick, and Nick gathered their kits and headed to the door. "Hey, Griss, good luck tonight," Nick yelled over his shoulder. "Thanks."
The hours went by quickly. Grissom finally felt that he had all his plans in order. He felt the heat rise in his face. He broke out in a cold sweat. He had never felt this way before. He was nervous. His hands were shaking, he couldn't see straight. "What if she says no? What if she left him for even mentioning the word marriage?" All of these thoughts went through his head as he drove towards his townhouse.
Grissom entered the house as quietly as he could. He walked up the stairs to the bedroom where he saw that Sara was still asleep. This was his chance. He raced downstairs to the kitchen were he started to prepare breakfast. He hoped that the smell of food cooking would not wake Sara up before all of his preparations were complete. Grissom was busy cooking eggs and waffles, and almost cut his hands slicing strawberries. After a half and hour, everything was ready, all he had to do was wake up his future wife.

Grissom walked up the stairs to the bedroom, trying to calm himself down so that Sara didn't think that something was wrong. As he approached the doorway, he took a few deep breathes to gain his composure. He walked over to where Sara lay, he gently rubbed her shoulder. "Sara, Sara, wake up. I have a surprise fro you." He gently whispered in her ear. Sara slowly turned her head towards Gil's voice and smiled. "Everyone would be really freaked if they knew about your romantic side." "That's why no one is going to know about this, are they?" Grissom asked. "It will be our little secret," Sara replied as she tenderly kissed his lips. Gil helped her out of bed and downstairs.
Sara could not believe her eyes. Before her was a beautiful breakfast spread complete with a dozen long stem roses, orange juice served in champagne glasses; the table lit by the soft glow of candles. She could not believe her eyes. The rough and rugged forensic scientist and her mentor had turned into the sweetest, kindest man that she had ever met. She had fallen in love with him.
"What is all of this for?" She asked as she stared at the scene before her, still unable to comprehend what Gil had done. "Well," he started, trying to find the right words to fit his emotions. "I never thought that I would become a father. My work was always my number one priority. But, when you told me that you were pregnant, it was like my dreams were coming true."
By this time, Sara had begun to cry. "Sara, you made me realize that there is more to life than just work and solving crimes, that love and compassion and family are important. I can't imagine my life without you, and I don't want to." He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small black velvet box. Sara could not believe her eyes. Gil Grissom was actually getting down on one knee. "Sara, will you marry me?" She was shocked. Of course she knew that she had feelings for her, but she never in her wildest dreams would have thought that Gil wanted to marry her. She felt a small cramp in her back but thought is was nothing.
"Gil, I don't know what to say." Sara was at a loss for words. No one had ever done anything this nice for her before. Then a panicked look crossed her face. Gil had no idea what was going on. "Sara, what is it? Will you marry me?" "Gil, I need. I need for you to take me to the hospital." "Why?" "Because my water just broke," Sara answered. Gil took a moment to collect his thoughts. Sara was going into labor. She was about to give birth to their child.
"Gil, we should go to the hospital," Sara said breaking the silence. "Yeah, sure, which hospital?" "Desert Pines." "What state is that in?" Sara knew that it was going to be a long drive to the hospital.
**************************************************************************
Nick, Warrick, Catherine, and Greg tried to pass the time in the hospital's waiting room. Nick had paced the halls countless number of times, while Catherine reminisced about the night she gave birth to Lindsay. Soon they spotted a sweaty and weary Grissom leaving the delivery room.
"Well, is it a boy or girl?" Nick asked. The three were anxious to find out the sex of the baby. "It's a girl, a healthy baby girl." Catherine rushed and gave him a hug while Nick and Warrick gave him handshakes and pats on the back. "When can we see Sara?" Nick asked. "You can see her now." The trio followed Grissom into the small room. They saw the sweetest pair of blue eyes they had ever seen. She looked exactly like her father, right down to the curly hair. "Guys, I would like to introduce you to the newest member of the CSI team, Alyssa Grissom. "She's gonna be a knockout when she gets older," Nick commented. "Can she stay a baby for a little while please?" Sara asked.
"Hey Griss, how did you little surprise go?" Nick asked. Grissom looked at Sara and began to smile. "Well, I asked her, but then her water broke and we came here." "You mean to tell me that Sara went in labor when you proposed?" Nick couldn't believe what hw was hearing. "Yeah, and she didn't answer the question."
"Yes." Sara said. They all turned their attention to the hospital bed. "What did you say?" Grissom asked with a huge smile on his face.
"I said yes." At that moment, Grissom knew that he was the happiest man on the planet. He was now complete.
