The song that I used is called CONFESSION. It is sung by JOSH GROBAN. Yes I seem to be obsessed with him. Maybe I am.
One month after the accident Warrick was discharged from the hospital. He was still pretty banged up, but was doing much better. It turned out that his ex-girlfriend had hired someone to take him out when she found out about Catherine and the baby. It was an act of god that they had found her. They had no evidence until she showed up on Catherine's door step with flowers.
"Hi. I'm Stephanie. I read about Warrick in the papers, it's sad that he will never be able to see his baby grow up."
"What are you talking about? Warrick is fine. As for his baby, that wasn't in the papers. Who are you?"
"Ummmm……I should go….."
"I don't think so. You're not going anywhere."
Catherine managed to take her to the ground and call the police. She was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to 10 years with psychiatric evaluations periodically. It was sad really how a woman would do anything to stop the man she loved from being happy.
Sara and Gil had yet to set a date for their wedding. Sara wasn't sure if she wanted to wait until the baby was born or if she just wanted to be his wife now. With a little coaxing Catherine talked her into a summer wedding. It would be held two weeks after Warrick's homecoming.
"Sara you look…..wow….."
"Mr. Grissom. Its bad luck to see the bride on her wedding day."
"I couldn't stop myself, and after all the luck we've had it can only get better."
"Gil! How did you get past the door man?" Catherine had had enough of his lack of self control for one day. As she pushed him back out the door she whispered in his ear "you will get to see plenty of her tonight" she smiled, closed the door and walked back to Sara to put the finishing touches on her.
Twenty minutes later Sara was standing behind the big oak doors that separated her from her future.
The wedding march began and the doors opened. Sara couldn't move. What she saw paralyzed her. There were pink carnations everywhere. She didn't remember asking for them.
Gil was worried when he saw that Sara wasn't moving. He wanted to run to her and be with her.
She had told him once that her favorite flower was carnations. When she was seven her granddad past away suddenly and she got a pink carnation off his casket just before it was placed in the ground. He knew it was a touchy subject, but he thought it would feel like he was there with her.
It was time for their first dance. Gil had a lot to do with the wedding. He wanted it to be their day. He got to pick the song that they would first dance to. They had heard it one night when they were discussing their plans. It almost made him cry. As it began to play he relived every moment of the song.
I have been blind
Unwilling
To see the true love
You're giving
I have ignored every blessing
I'm on my knees
Confessing…
'When I first asked you to come here we were friends. As time went by I began to love you. I didn't want to ruin our friendship so I began to shut you out. When you asked me to dinner I said no. I couldn't see that you loved me. As soon as you left my office I was ashamed of the way I treated you.'
That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face
I am staggered by your beauty
Your unassuming grace
And I feel my heart is turning
Falling into place
I can't hide it
Now hear my confession
I have been wrong about you
I thought I was strong without you
For so long
Nothing could move me
For so long
Nothing could change me
'I never thought that I would find love at my age. When you came into my life I ran away from you. When you told me you were pregnant I was so happy, then all that stuff happened at the B&B and I couldn't hold you. I went home and had given up. I put on a face and made everyone believe that I didn't need you in my life. You changed me Sara. For that I am grateful, for that I love you.'
That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face
I am staggered by your beauty
Your unassuming grace
And I feel my heart is turning
Falling into place
I can't hide it
Now hear my confession
You are the air that I breathe
You're the ground beneath my feet
When did I stop believing?
'When I heard about the accident I couldn't breathe. Catherine had to practically push me out of my office. I knew that I wouldn't be able to breathe until I found you. When I did find you I realized that you were my solid place. No matter what I did or said you were there for me. I love you.'
They didn't spend the night at a fancy hotel; they went back to their home. Grissom had spent all day making it just perfect. Sara was only four and a half months pregnant; she still needed to know that she was beautiful. There were rose petals everywhere, soft music played in the background. Gil took her to their room.
"Sara you look beautiful. I want to tell you something that I didn't feel was right to say in front of everybody. You are my air and my ground Sara, without you I don't think I could have continued with my life. That night the police phoned me I was clearing out my office. I was going to announce my leave the next day. You helped me see that there was something….someone….worth living here for. I love you more than anything Sara."
I think this might be the last chapter for this story. I'll try to think of a new one ASAP. If you want more chapters I am really going to need ideas. Feedback is always welcomed.
