Chapter 4
Catherine's House, CSI crew is gathering their for a breakfast
I pull up into Catherine's driveway after collecting Andrea from Gram's, having spent an hour with her this morning, having her tell me what she has been up too. Usually Warrick is the one that picks her up because I am always stuck at work, trying to finish my paperwork. When Grams wants to talk, she just talks, makes you listens, and that is what I did. I reach behind me, grabbing my purse from the floor. I get out, going around to get Andrea. Walking up to the house, letting myself in. I spot Warrick first, standing beside Grissom, talking about something. Catherine comes out of no where. "Hey there baby, come here to Aunt Catherine." I hand her over, watching as Warrick reaches out to gently kiss the top of her head. Grissom is now standing near the back, talking to Brass about something. Catherine follows my gaze. "You two still not talking?"
"He doesn't think that I can't do this." I tell her, seeing her smile.
"I'll take that as a yes. You two need to work through this thing that you have fallen into."
"I am not going to apologize to that man."
"That is not going to help."
"I don't care. I am tired of him treating me like a I am four."
"Maybe you should stop acting like you are." I can feel my head snap around, meeting Catherine's steady gaze. "This is foolish. Why do you need his acceptance?"
"Wouldn't you want it?" I see her look across to him, then to Lindsey on the floor. "Didn't you get it?"
"Yes."
"Then why can't he do the same for me."
"I don't know." Looking down to the baby in her arms, "I honestly don't know."
I lean back in to the couch, Andrea balanced on my lap. I am listening to Grissom as he tells Catherine about the latest development in some field he keeps tabs on. Long ago tuning out his voice to focus on Warrick and Lindsey, playing a game of go-fish on the floor a few feet away. I hear Catherine's gasp at something, my attention turning to her, seeing her focused on me. Looking down, I see that Andrea has my necklace in her grasp, playing with the ring that is sitting there. I can see Grissom's eyes on my as well. I shrug, replacing the necklace back down my shirt, watching as Warrick meets my eyes, giving me a smile.
"Sara Sidle! I can not believe you are going to sit there and not explain that rock around your neck."
"There is nothing to explain, it is exactly what it seems."
"Who is it? I can not believe we have never even met this man."
"How do you know that, you don't even know who it is."
"Exactly and you are going to be marring him."
"So."
"SO? Are we not going to be finding out until the marriage?"
"No, I just haven't found a good time to tell you."
"Why?"
"Fear of the reaction."
"Sara Sidle? Afraid of a reaction. I don't buy it. It's not like you are seeing someone within the walls of CSI." I look away, down to my daughter. "Oh My God!"
"Sara?" I look over at Grissom, seeing his eyes on mine. "Are you happy?"
"What kind of question is that?" Catherine shoots at him. "She is getting married, hell, look at her, she looks happy."
"Never assume."
"I'm not, I'm looking at the evidence. I do not believe you Gil Grissom!"
"What?" Looking thoroughly confused at the woman's reaction. I find myself confused at her reaction, I have never seen Catherine mad at Grissom, except for that time at the crime scene. But that was with work, nothing like this.
"Kitchen! Now!" Lindsey's head shoots up, meeting my gaze quickly.
"Uh oh..." she mutters as Grissom rises to follow her, a slight frown on his face.
