I seriously hope the sex doesn't bother you people to bad! It's not that descriptive, and yet it reveals so much. Read on!

On the way home, it was all I could do to keep still. When we finally pull into my driveway, I get out of the car, grab his hand, and lead him into my home. Down the hall, into my bedroom, it was taking to long.

Shutting my door, I move to kiss him, but he backs away, grabbing my hands, and pinning me to my bed. "Patience is a virtue, my dearest Catherine."

"You're an ass, Gil," I moan as he dips his head to brush our lips together.

His hands are reverent as they remove my dress, and slide lower to take the last bit of my clothing off. My whole world has become confined to this room, this bed. His hands move in delicate circles, slowly toward the one place I want him to be. As his hands reach their goal, he murmurs into my ear, "Yes. I know you're ready Cath, I can feel it. Just let go." And I do. Screaming loudly to the night.

As I come down from my high, he fills me. Quiet sounds of pleasure turning to loud moans of want. When moans reach a crescendo, he collapses onto me, and I grin lazily. As we drift into a contented sleep, he quietly says, "Catherine, I love you. I adore you. All I want is you, for an eternity."

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I wake in the morning deliciously drowsy, and happier than I've ever been. I turn over to be face to face with my lover. I feel like I could fly, I getting married to my best friend, my daughter… This jerks me out of my laziness, and I scramble out of bed. I hear Gil call my name, damn, I didn't want to wake him.

Slowly, I turn to face him. "What's wrong Cath?"

"Nothing's wrong. I just realized I have to go get Lindsey from her friends house before she starts wondering where I am."

"Oh, I was wondering where she was. I'll come with you. I know she's your daughter, but are you going to tell her?"

I ponder this for a moment. Should I tell her right away? She'll no doubt notice the ring, who wouldn't, it's fucking huge. Resignedly, I sigh and nod. "I suppose I'll tell her. She should know. At least then she can vent on both of us if she's upset."

He smiles his agreement, and slides out of bed, walking to the bathroom, giving me the best view of something I shouldn't be concentrating on right now. I groan and shake my head to dislodge that thought, and set about getting dressed.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

On the way to pick up Lindsey, I nervously grip the steering wheel. I don't know what to say to her. I turn to Griss and give him a questioning look. "Just let her figure something's out for herself. I have no doubt she'll notice the ring. I also haven't a doubt that she'll ask where you got it. Let her start the conversation Cath."

I cast him an evil look, "For someone who says he knows nothing about children, you sure as hell seem like you do."

"Well, after we're married, Linds will be my daughter too."

I grow quiet and contemplate this. Linds has always wanted another dad, someone she could look to for fatherly advise, and I see no one better than Gil Grissom.

As we pull up into the driveway of her friends house, Lindsey is half way out the door. I don't bother to get out of the car, I just unlock the trunk, and let her put her things back there.

The back door opens and in she climbs, "Hi Mom! Uncle Gil! How cool! Are you staying for dinner? Mom is he staying for dinner? Can he? Oh please? It would be so much fun! OH! Like what we did at Cass's house! We watched movies…."

I smile at Gil who smiles back as my daughter rambles on and on. A sudden question catches my attention, "Mom, where did you get that rock on your finger? It's beautiful! I didn't know you were seeing someone!"

I look to Gil, who nods encouragingly. "Well, baby, I got this 'rock' from Gil. We're getting married."
