Chapter 26
The Reception
Summary: Its time for the wedding reception
A/N: This might be a shorter chapter just because if I spend too much time on the reception I'll never get anywhere else-LOL! I promise I'll make up for it in the next chapters to follow. Please R/R. I love reviews and it helps me get out the chapters sooner.
Greg and Lindsey were clinking glasses to get Sara and Nick to kiss and kiss they did. The Warrick and Greg started in and Nick shot them a look.
"Well Nicky, I could just kiss your wife." Greg said with a smirk.
Nick leaned over and kissed Sara again with more passion than before.
"Can I have your attention please?" Grissom said standing up.
Everyone turned toward Grissom as he began to speak.
"I'm Gil Grissom and I'm Nicky's boss but he's also become a very good friend. He's a great guy and he married a wonderful young woman and I wish them all the happiness in the world. I love you two very much." Grissom said as he began to raise his glass.
Everyone raised their glasses and Lindsey stood up.
"Sweetie, you don't have to say anything." Catherine said to Lindsey.
"I want to." Lindsey said standing up on her chair so that everyone could see her.
Lindsey held onto Greg's shoulder so she wouldn't fall.
"Hi, I'm Lindsey Willows and I just want to say how happy I am for my Uncle Nick and Aunt Sara and I wish them happiness and lots of love." Lindsey said getting down to give them each a hug and kiss.
"We love you to darlin." Nick said in his Texan drawl.
"Ok, that would leave me and well what can I say other than how much I love you both of you very much and what wonderful friends you've both become, I wish you much happiness and love." Catherine said.
"Thank you guys. We love you all very much." Nick said.
"We'd like to thank Jim Brass of the LVPD whose become a part of our family over the years. Thank you Jim. We love you."
Brass smiled and hugged them both and also gave Sara a kiss.
They finished dinner and people started to get up one by one to dance.
"C'mon Greg, let's go dance". Lindsey said
Greg and Lindsey went to go dance while Nick helped Sara up while Grissom and Catherine followed Warrick and Mia out onto the dance floor.
"I love you Mr. Stokes."
"I love you more Mrs. Stokes." Nick said kissing Sara while he placed his hand on her very pregnant belly.
Sara had started to cry.
"What's wrong darlin?"
"I'm a pregnant bride and wife and I'm fat."
"You're not fat, you're beautifully pregnant and I love you very much."
Nick led Sara to the dance floor where they danced to the song "Lady in Red."
Catherine looked at Grissom who just shrugged his shoulders.
"Don't you two know anything? That song is the first song that Nick and Sara ever danced too." Lindsey said as she placed her feet on top of Greg's so they could continue to dance.
Grissom just smiled.
"They're just so perfect for each other." Catherine said holding Grissom's hand.
After the reception had ended Grissom handed Nick a key to a room at the Bellagio.
"Thank you Grissom, thank you for everything".
"You're welcome, but Catherine and Brass also went in on the room for you". He replied smiling.
"We'll talk to you in a few days ok"? Nick said shaking hands with Grissom before going off to find his bride.
Grissom just nodded and went to find Catherine and Lindsey.
