Instead of calling Gil and telling him about Warrick, Sara decided that she owed it to him, and herself, to go see him.
Sara had been sitting in the waiting room at the hospital with Lindsey. She took Lindsey to be with her mom and her dad.
"Catherine, I'm going to go see Gil. Do you mind if I take your car?"
"Go ahead. I'll call you later when I need to get home"
"Thanks"
Just as she was about to leave the room she turned.
"Hey War. I owe you one"
"What did I do?"
"In a way, your accident brought me and Gil closer together."
"Uh…you're welcome….?"
"Hey Sara, before you go, what did Gil say to you? I know it's none of my business, but you were so happy when you came out to the car."
"Well, that's one of the reasons that I'm going to see him. He asked me to marry him again. I said I would think about it, but I already knew what my answer was. I just had to be with you first."
"Auntie Sara, you're having a baby right?"
"Yes Lindsey. Gil and I are having a baby together, just like your mom and dad."
"So am I going to be an auntie then?"
"No sweetheart. You're going to be a cousin though"
"Cool. I love you Sara."
"I love you too. Bye guys. You get better soon War. Bye"
Sara drove to Gil's house. She was standing on his door step. 'Why am I so scared to do this? I love him; we've been through so much together. Why do I feel like this? Oh god I'm going to be sick.'
Grissom came to his door when he heard a strange noise outside. When he opened the door he ran to Sara.
"Baby, are you okay?"
"Do I look okay?! God, this baby is killing me"
"Come inside and lay down"
Five minutes later Sara was lying in his bed.
"How's Warrick?"
"He's good. Doctors said he had little chance of a fast recovery. Catherine played their song and he woke up."
"Is that why you came? You could have told me that over the phone."
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about what you said in your office. I want to marry you, but not until Warrick is out of the hospital."
"So were engaged then." This was more of a statement rather than a question. "Go brush your teeth and come to bed."
When she came back they both went to sleep. They cuddled and just slept.
Sara woke up when she heard her cell ringing.
"Baby who is it? I don't want you to leave."
"It's Catherine. I told her that I would go pick her up when it was time for her and Lindsey to leave."
'Why didn't I just take a cab from the hospital?'
"Hey Cath….yes…I'll be there in a while….bye"
She turned and kissed her almost husband
"I'll be home soon I promise. Just a thought, we need to think of baby names, and figure out living arrangements, my apartment is way too small for three people."
With that she was gone.
Catherine was driving towards Sara's house.
"Um….Catherine……could you drop me off at Gil's house….."
"Sure. Oh god, I didn't interrupt anything did I?"
NO!!! We were just sleeping. It was sweet. I was throwing up in his bushes; he came outside, helped me up and put me to bed. So how's the hubby?"
"He's doing better. He had to go to bed. I told him we would stop by tomorrow. Lindsey gave him some flowers; it made his face brighten up. He has a broken leg, some bruised ribs and a few cuts and bruises."
"So Gil and I kind of set a date; as soon as Warrick gets out were going to get married"
"Sara. You wouldn't happen to know what's going on with his case would you."
"All I know is that day shift is taking over. Were all way to close."
"Okay. Well I'll see you later then. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Bye Sara."
When Sara opened the door the house was dark. 'Gil must still be sleeping'. She walked down the hall to his room. She was ready to turn around, after not finding him, when two strong hands wrapped around her waist.
"Close your eyes and let me show you something."
Sara let Gil guide her to the spare room.
"Open your eyes beautiful."
Sara stared in bewilderment. In front of her was their baby's room.
Gil whispered in her ear "Elizabeth James Grissom"
I hope this chapter was good. I don't know if this is it yet. I need some ideas. Feedback is very helpful.
