They sat there gil staring at Catherine, with her head in her hands. Silence filled the room.
"Catherine, how long have we known each other," Gil asked. She stared at him blankly and answered with a quick guess. "17 years."
He nodded his head. "I know I'm doing this bit early, but I don't want to lose you again, like I almost did with the glass in my back, I want to know Catherine, sometime in the future, Will you marry me," Gil asked.
She answered "Gil I...I... ."
He interrupted "I understand, it's too early, very silly thing for me to do."
"No, it's just that, well I need to...to..run this by Linds, I'm sure she'd accept, but even if she doesn't except, well, I'll never stop loving you , hell Grissom, you helped me through thick and thin, but I'm sure, well I hope she accepts," Catherine said, tears forming in her eyes.
He took her hand. "I know, hey look at the bright side, at least we know that we love each other right," he replied. She looked up at him and said "Yeah."
"You know I had a dream, in that long coma, I was married, I had 2 kids, a daughter and a son, Jamie and Lizzie, They had blue eyes blond hair, Lizzie however looked so much like Lindsey, I was once filled with happiness," he said. .
"Who was the wife," Catherine asked, looking very curious.
He had to build much courage to bring his eyes to hers. "You, I thought I had died or something, I thought I lost you, when I felt the glass hit my body, I must have passed out, cause I saw this really bright light, shining, than this beautiful angel, she said 'It is not your time, she needs you, go back now it is not yet your time go back, go back, you will see in time, you will understand' than I started to drift away, I saw you sitting there in that chair talking to me, I called out to you but you couldn't hear me, then I drifted into my body than I had the dream." He answered.
Catherine just stared at him, mouth wide open, shock and confusion written all over her face. "We had a family," Cath asked.
Gil nodded his head. She looked at him and took his hand, and said "Gil, I hope that Lindsey accepts, cause I just can't see us not getting married."
"Really," he asked, happiness filled his face.
She gave his hand a squeeze and said "Of Course, Gil, you really make me feel loved."
"Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Sara said, walking in holding Nicks hand.
"No, we were just talking," Catherine said.
"Grissom you're awake, "Sara said.
"Yeah," Cath said.
"Hi Boss," nick said.
"Hi Nicky," Grissom said.
"Yeah, we thought that we just stop by see how Grissom is going, but it looks like you're doing great," Sara said.
"Yeah, uh Catherine, we thought I mean since you're here and everything would you like us to pick up Lindsey," Nick asked.
"Thanks, that takes a load off my chest, you know where her school is right," Catherine asked.
"Yeah," Sara said.
"okay bye," Nick said.
"Bye," Cath said.
"Bye," Cath said.
Nick and Sara left. Next to visit Grissom was Greg.
"Hi, Boss, Catherine," Greg said. He walked in with a kid which looked to be 5 years old.
"Oh, Hi there little one," Catherine said.
"Oh yeah this is Ella, my niece, I told her I was coming here but my sister insisted on me to bring her,," Greg said.
"Hi Ella," Grissom said. "Hi," Ella replied. Ella had blond hair just like Greg's, and olive eyes. "Up," She said to Greg and he picked her up.
"She looks so much like you," Catherine said.
"I get that all the time," Greg said, with a smile. They were chatting when Sara and Nick arrived with Lindsey.
"Hi," Sara said. "Hi," Greg, Catherine and Grissom said.
"Mommy," Lindsey yelled, running into Catherine's arms. "Uncle Gil are you okay," she asked.
"Now I am," he said. Catherine, Lindsey and Grissom were chatting together.
"Oh Hi little one," Nick said to Ella.
"Ella this is Nick and Sara," Greg said.
"Hi Ella," Sara said.
Nick said "She looks like you Greg, is she your..." Greg cut in "No, my niece," he said.
"Oh, sorry," Nick said.
"It's okay," Greg said.
"So why you looking after Ella," Sara asked.
"Well my sister came here from Australia for holiday, their staying at my place, I told them it's cheaper, anyway Ella decided to come with me," Greg explained.
"Oh," Nick answered.
They turned to watch Lindsey, Cath and Grissom talking.
"Uncle Gil, Aunty Sara told me that you were very sick, are you okay now," Lindsey asked.
"I'm good, your mommy has been accompanying me here, so how was school," Gil asked, still holding Catherines hand.
Is Lindsey going to accept that her mommy loves Gil? Will she be okay if Grissom turns out to be her father?
"Catherine, how long have we known each other," Gil asked. She stared at him blankly and answered with a quick guess. "17 years."
He nodded his head. "I know I'm doing this bit early, but I don't want to lose you again, like I almost did with the glass in my back, I want to know Catherine, sometime in the future, Will you marry me," Gil asked.
