CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Love Is
Chapter Three
Catherine and Gil walk out of the lab hand-in-hand and walk to Gils Denali. Before Catherine can get into the Denali Gil pins her against the car and kisses her passionately his hands roaming her body.
"Gil hun we shouldn't do this here." Catherine says but allows him access to her neck.
"You're right we'll continue this later then." Gil replies gently kissing her lips before allowing her get into the Denali.
Catherine and Gil drove to Catherine's sister Nancy's place to pick up Lindsey and then head back to Gils place to pick up Catherine's Denali then go back to Catherine's and eat dinner and watch some movies before they retired for the night. Catherine looked over at the man driving and thought 'God, I'm so damn lucky to have him in my life, he loves Lindsey as if she were his own. I still can't believe he loves me. I feel like kind of an idiot because I didn't tell him how I felt sooner. I guess all tat matters now is that I have him to help me with Lindsey. He makes her so happy I'm sure that she'll be okay with us dating. The only person I'm worried about is Sara.'
They pulled up to Nancy's place and saw Lindsey chasing her cousin Jeremy around the front yard. Seeing those two play together always made Catherine want another child, but Eddie always dismissed the idea of expanding their family he always said 'that she barely had enough time to look after him and Lindsey never mind a baby too' it had always hurt her to know that Eddie would never let her have a large family like she always dreamed. Then Catherine thought that maybe one day her and Gil would have a couple kids together which made her smile she would love to give Gil Grissom at least one child.
"What are you thinking about?" Gil asks, tucking some hair behind Catherine's ear.
Catherine thought about if she should answer him truthfully then she decides to give him half the truth by saying "Our future."
Slightly confused Gil replies "OK, well lets go get Lindsey then go have some fun. Its already 6:45 we should get going."
"Yeah we should." Catherine agrees.
Nick and Ava decided they needed to talk so they went to the diner down the street from the Lab.
"So, how long after I left did you get back together with Steven?" Nick asks taking a sip of his Columbian Blend coffee.
"About a year and a half, he saw me at the park with our daughter and asked me where you were and I said you left me. After that we got back together got married and had two kids and were fairly happy."
"What's my daughter's name?"
"Fiona Grace Elisabeth Rose. I liked all four of those names so I put them all together with the last name Stokes." Ava looked up at Nick and smiled.
"You gave her my last name?" Nick asked. At Ava's nod he continued "Then I guess you still have feelings for me then."
"Yes and I thought that if Fiona was interested when she got older and wanted to find you she would have your last name and it would make it easier to find you. I did and still love you Nick you were always the man I wanted to father my children and spend the rest of my life with. It didn't exactly work out that way but I hope I we still have a chance to rekindle the romance we had 8 years ago and you can be in Fiona's life." Ava says caressing his cheek with her right and her left taking hi right hand.
"I would like that but I'm dating someone else right now. I'm sorry Ava, but I would still like a chance to be part of Fiona's life."
"Let me guess you're dating Sara Sidle?"
"How'd you know?" Nick says surprised that she had guessed correctly.
"I'm a CSI remember? I noticed how close you two are and how you guys look at each other. Do you love her?"
"Yes. I do, very, very much. I plan to propose in the next couple of weeks. Ava, I never expected to see you again. So Sara and I started dating 5 months ago. I'm moving on Ava just like you did. I'm finally ready to settle down and Sara is going to be the person I do it with." Nick explains.
Just then Sara walks into the diner. She walks up to Nick and they look at each other in the eyes. Nick and Sara just stand there staring at each other almost forgetting about Ava.
Ava breaks the awkward silence by saying "Excuse me guys I know you guys love each other but you should at least say something" even though she had said something the couple still stood there staring at each other. "Ok, fine if you're just going to stand there looking at each other then I'm outta here. See you two later." With that Ava walks out of the dinner and drives home. Five minutes goes by and Sara finally breaks eye contact with Nick and notices that Ava had left.
"Uh...it looks as though we've been abandoned." Sara points out.
"Yeah it appears that way. I wonder how long we were standing there ignoring her for." Nick says.
"Long enough for to get fed up of waiting I guess." Sara replies.
"Well I guess we should be getting home then" Nick says putting a ten dollar bill on the table to cover both of the coffees.
I was 11:30 and Catherine, Gil and Lindsey were all finished eating and near the end of they're second movie of the night Tomb Raider 2: Cradle of Life. They had started the night with the first Tomb Raider and Gil had thought it was a great movie so agreed to watch the second one as well. Half an hour later Tomb Raider 2 had ended and Catherine had led Gil up to her room to talk because Lindsey was asleep and they didn't want to wake her.
"That was an awesome movie. I think I have a new favorite actress, Angelina Jolie, is very talented. Thanks for a great night Cath." Gils says sitting on her bed watching her tidy up her somewhat messy room. Gil walks up to Catherine who was now standing up against her chest of drawers and gently kisses her. She quickly deepens the kiss and there hands are all over the place. Soon their clothes are in a heap on the floor and they're in bed.
"I love you, Catherine, very much," Gil says to Catherine's sleeping body. Gil lies there and watches Catherine sleep for awhile before letting himself fall asleep as well.
AN: What did you think? Should I continue? Let me Know.
