Part 5

Same ### rule as before ;)

"Hey," Gil smiled, coming out into the hallway.

Catherine's eyes widened. "Wow!"
"I look okay?" he asked, walking towards her.

"You look hot!" she said, running her hand down his chest. "I LOVE the jacket."
He kissed her gently. "You always look hot."

#######################

"How cute are they!" Jai cried.

"I want a Gil!" Carson said.

########

"Let me take your jacket," Gil said, as he took it and hung it on the coat rack.

"C'mere," she smiled, pulling him close and kissing him again. "I like your aftershave."

"Kyan picked it out. He thought you might like it," Gil told her.

"He has good taste," she murmured.

################

"Thanks, Catherine!" Kyan grinned.

"Ooh he's showing her the dining room now!" Thom said. "I hope she likes it!"

########

"They thought we needed a dining table," Gil said, holding her hand.

Catherine's covered her mouth in surprise. "It's beautiful."
"I thought you'd like it," he smiled.

She turned in his arms. "You helped pick this?"
"Yep."

"You did a great job. I think I'll take you shopping more often."

#############

"He has such great taste, and he knows exactly what she likes, so it's amazing that they don't go shopping together more often," Thom commented.

"Oh, they're going upstairs! I wonder what he's going to show her first…the nursery or the bedroom?" Ted wondered.

The Fab Five looked at each other.
"Bedroom," they all said in unison.

#######################

"We also got a new bed," Gil told her, opening the door to their bedroom. "I hope you like it, baby."
Catherine's eyes widened and she broke into a smile. "It's perfect." She kissed him. "Perfect for us."

"Want to see my new wardrobe?"

Catherine grinned. "Sure."

He led her into the walk-in-wardrobe. "See?"

"Very impressive," she murmured. "I really like the leather jacket."
"And guess what? I now own Calvin Klein underwear."

Catherine raised an eyebrow. "Are you wearing it?"

He raised an eyebrow in response. "Maybe."

"Hmm," Catherine said, leaning up and kissing him gently. "I think I'll have a private fashion show later."

##############

Carson bowed. "Thankyou. I knew she'd go for the Calvin Klein underwear!"

#####################

"I have another surprise for you."
She narrowed her eyes and took his hand, as he led her down the hallway.

"You remember how we never seem to get time to go shopping for things for the nursery?"
Catherine smiled. "Yeeesss?"

He opened the door to the finished nursery. "Just the way we wanted it."
Her hand covered her mouth again, trying to stifle a smile. "Gil…"

Gil saw her crying and he turned her to him. "What? What's the matter?"

"I never thought you'd top how amazing you already are…but I think you just did."
#######################

"Awww!" The Fab Five sighed.

"Wait till he proposes!" Kyan said. "It's going to be do fantastic!"

#######################

"Hungry?" Gil asked her, as he knelt beside her.

Catherine sat in the rocking chair, a hand resting on her belly. "You cooked for me as well?"
"I love cooking for you," Gil murmured, kissing her gently. "Want to come downstairs or shall I serve it up here?"

She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at him. "Very funny, Dr. Grissom. I'll come downstairs."

They went downstairs and Gil sat her down at the table. He came out and set the plates down.

Catherine looked at the plate then back up at Gil, a grin on her face. "Turkey club, no bacon."
"Of course," he grinned, sitting beside her.

#################

"Ted, why didn't you make us turkey club with no bacon?" Carson asked.

Ted rolled his eyes.

#############

After dinner, Gil took the plates away.

"Ready for dessert?"
Catherine pointed to her belly. "Don't you think I should put off dessert for awhile?"
He walked over and kissed her firmly. "You're beautiful." Gil smiled at her. "Besides, its chocolate."
Catherine smiled. "Well then, I hear chocolate is very good for you."
###########

"Now why doesn't everyone subscribe to that?" Kyan asked. "It's so true!"

Ted nodded. "Absolutely."

#############

Catherine's eyes widened as she watched Gil carry out the tray with the chocolate boxes.

"Wow."

He set them down on the coffee table and sat down. Catherine snuggled up next to him.

"Shall we start with the big box and work our way down?" Gil asked.

##########

"Okay, that so qualified a 'dirty'," Carson commented.

"Shh," Jai told him.

###########

"'Kay," Catherine agreed.

"Okay," Gil said, bringing the dark chocolate one closer. "This one is dark chocolate and it has inside it…"

Catherine opened it. "Mousse!"

"Wanna taste?" Gil asked, grabbing the spoon.

She nodded. "You made it?"

"Of course," he grinned, spooning some.

Catherine opened her mouth and tasted it. "Hey, this is really good!"

Gil mock-pouted. "You doubted that it would?"

She giggled and kissed him. "Never."

"Hey, you taste good. Just like chocolate," Gil murmured, leaning over and kissing her again.

"Hey!" Cath giggled, slapping him lightly. "Cut that out!"

"Okay, okay," he grinned. "Want to try the next one?"

She nodded and opened the second box. "Raspberries!"

He nodded and dipped one in the mousse. "Taste sensation?"

Catherine took it in her mouth and nodded. "Absolutely," she finally said.

############

"Oh my god! They're onto the last box!" Kyan said.

"And still she has absolutely no idea!" Ted cried.

"I can't watch!" Jai said, burying his head in a cushion.

#############

"Ready for the last one?"

Catherine nodded and opened the box lid. When she saw the jewelry box nestled inside she froze. She lifted the little box out and holding it, turned to Gil.

"Is this what I think it is?"

"I don't know," Gil replied. He opened the box. "Is it?"

Catherine gasped as she looked at the diamond ring sitting in the box. "Oh my god."

Gil gently untangled himself from her and got down on one knee. With a smile on his face he looked up at her. "Catherine, I've been in love with you for as long as I remember. I've watched you go through so much in your life. I've watched you raise the most amazing daughter and I feel so privileged that you let me share her life. You've made my life so much better, and you've taught me to be a real human being, and to appreciate everything in life. I love you so much Catherine, and I'm so excited that we're having a baby together. I want to make you happy for the rest of your life. Will you marry me?"
###########

"Oh my god!" Carson said. "What's she going to say!"
"I can't take this stress!" Thom cried.

########

She broke into a broad smile. "Yes. I love you so much. Yes!"

Gil got up from the floor and slipped the ring onto her finger.

"Perfect fit," she murmured, looking up at him.

"Just like us," he replied. "I love you, Cath."
Catherine grinned. "I love you back, Gil."

They leaned in and shared a deep kiss

#############

"I think that was my favourite couple," Jai said, leaning back.

"Oh yeah. They adore each other so much," Thom agreed.

"I love how he did so well with everything. Like he really made an effort!" Kyan said. "He used all the products just the way we taught him."
"And he's really great with the clothes, listening to the advice and wearing what he knows will make Catherine happy," Carson nodded.

"He was so great at helping pick out everything. He knew exactly what would be right for their house," Thom commented.

"And he's a great cook! I mean, he barely needed to be shown what to do!" Ted said.

"And that proposal! How absolutely romantic and amazing," Jai said. "He told her just how much she and Lindsey and the new baby mean to him."

"Well, toast for Cath and Gil!"

"The Grissom family!" Jai said, standing up.

They all stood up and clinked glasses. "The Grissom family!"

QUEER EYE TIPS

Kyan: Even if you don't often wear it, sometimes wearing a nice aftershave for special occasions can really show you care. Make sure you get one that both of you will like…and make sure you have special occasions to wear it for!

Thom: If you don't have a dining table…for the love of god, BUY ONE! You never know when circumstances change, and its great to have a romantic dinner for two, on an actual table, instead of in the kitchen, or on the floor.

Carson: A great way to dress anything up is with a leather jacket. It's comfortable, warm…and best of all…it drives women wild!

Ted: Make sure when you're cooking for someone, that you know what they like and don't like. If they like a particular dish, but prefer it without one of the normal ingredients…just get rid of it!

Jai: A new baby can be stressful. But if you plan everything out early on, and start preparing, when the arrival comes…it truly is a bundle of joy!
