Chapter 16

Summary: It's Gil and Catherine's wedding day! This chapter does contain some angst.

A/N: I am incredibly unhappy with this story. It's poorly written and it's basically sucks altogether. Anyways, R –n- R if you'd like to let me know how much it sucks.

The Las Vegas sun was shinning through into the living room where Catherine and the rest were still fast asleep.

Lindsey and JT had already been awake for almost 2 hours.

"Mom, its 10:30 I think you better wake up". Lindsey said gently shaking her.

JT had gone over to Sara and kissed her forehead then moving to kiss her belly.

Sara turned over and smiled looking up at JT who giggled as Sara gently poked his ribs.

"Mom, I'm serious you're getting married in like 3 hours". Lindsey said again.

Catherine turned over, "Alright I'm up"! Catherine replied.

Mia looked over at Sara and JT and smiled. She admired Sara for being so strong. Sara had gone through so much in the last 14 months. Sara looked over at Mia who had a big grin on her face. Catherine had noticed it as well.

"What had you smiling"? Sara queried

"She's thinking about how Uncle Rick is going to look in a tuxedo or rather without one". Lindsey announced.

"Lindsey Elizabeth Willows"! Catherine gasped.

Mia laughed, "She's right, this will be the first big event that Warrick and I will be at as a couple".

They all laughed.

"We should all start getting ready". Sara suggested.

"JT and I are already bathed, but we're not going to get dressed quite yet". Lindsey replied.

No was ready for what was about to be said.

"Lindsey, JT already has a mother and I'd appreciate if you'd let me do the things that a mother is suppose to do". Sara snapped.

Lindsey looked at Sara shocked and so upset that she ran off to her bedroom.

"Issy! Issy"! JT called out.

"JT your mom doesn't want me around you anymore so you better just go away". Lindsey replied clearly crying.

Catherine sighed, "Sara, she's not trying to replace you- - she's trying to help you out so that you don't get so tired". Catherine replied getting up and going towards Lindsey's room.

Sara felt extremely guilty. She knew Lindsey loved JT and that she was really just trying to help.

Mia went over by Sara, "She means well Sara, she loves that little boy and I think she's trying to help out because she doesn't want to lose you. She knows that you're sick and she's afraid if you do to much that something will happen to you ". Mia whispered trying to keep from crying.

Sara nodded, "I didn't mean to snap at her and she's JT's best friend and now I've hurt his best friend and he knows it". Sara replied crying.

Catherine had calmed Lindsey down enough that she allowed JT to finally come into the room. Mia had decided to go get ready and Sara went to go talk to Lindsey.

"Can I talk to Lindsey for a moment"? Sara asked as Catherine looked up.

Catherine nodded and went into her bedroom to get ready herself.

"Lindsey, I'm so sorry that I snapped at you. I seem to get angry at the most in opportune times. I know that you're just trying to help".

"I'm afraid that I'm going to lose you". Lindsey replied her voice quiet.

"I promise you I'm not going anywhere sweetie, my chemo has been going really well and I've even gained 17 lbs which is good for the baby".

Lindsey hugged Sara still crying.

"I love you Aunt Sara". Lindsey whispered.

"I love you too Linds". Sara replied.

"Should we dress JT together"? Lindsey suggested.

"I'd like that but I have to go get ready and apologize to your mom, I'm afraid I've upset her and this is her big day". Sara said ashamed.

Lindsey smiled, "Alright, well we'll get ready and see you in a little while".

Sara smiled and went into one of the bathrooms to shower but not before stopping to talk to Catherine.

"I owe you an apology Catherine, I'm sorry I snapped at Lindsey- - I seem to get upset at the worst times".

Catherine looked up, "It's alright she worries about you as do I. I'm not sure what we'd do without you around".

Sara smiled and accepted the hug from Catherine.

"I plan on sticking around for a long time". Sara replied.

Catherine smiled, "Good I'm glad, now let's go get ready".

Sara nodded and went into the bathroom across the hall from Catherine's room where she showered. Mia helped Lindsey with her hair and fixed JT's bow tie on his little tuxedo.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The guys had already been up since 8 AM that morning. Warrick and Greg were showered and Grissom was practicing his 'I DO' in the mirror when Nick knocked on the door.

"Hey Griss are you doing ok"?

"Yeah, I'm just a little nervous". Grissom replied wiping the sweat beads from his forehead.

"Well, Warrick and Greg are already showered so they're going to their apartments real quick to drop stuff off and then head back to your place for the wedding".

"Alright, well I'm already myself but I'll wait for you and we can catch a cab back to lab and pick up your vehicle". Grissom suggested.

"Sounds good, I'll be ready in about 20 minutes". Nick replied as headed back across the hall to his room.

Warrick and Greg popped their heads into Grissom's room.

"Later Griss, we'll see you back at your place in about 1 hour". Warrick said with a smile.

Grissom smiled and nodded.

Nick showered and got dressed and went to fix his hair forgetting that he had shaved it in honor of his wife. He smiled as he grabbed his duffel and walked out the door with the hotel key returning to Grissom's room once again.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The gals had all gotten dress and JT looked so handsome in his little tuxedo.

"He looks like a mini Nicky on your wedding day". Catherine mused.

Sara smiled, "He looks just like his daddy".

"You ready mom"? Lindsey asked looking up at her.

"Yes, but the guys aren't here yet are they"?

"Actually, we just arrived". Warrick confirmed as he walked over to Mia and twirled her around.

Mia smiled, and leaned up to give Warrick a kiss.

Catherine moved towards the French doors.

Brass walked in the door and took his spot beside Catherine. Nick, Sara, Warrick, Mia, Lindsey, Greg and JT all took their positions ahead of Catherine and proceeded down the aisle.

'Marriage of Figaro' played in the background as Catherine began her journey down the aisle.

Grissom adjusted his bow tie and smiled as he took in the beautiful site before him.

Brass shook Grissom's hand as he turned Catherine over to him and took a seat next to Grissom's mother.

"We are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony, if there is anyone here who objects speak now or forever hold your peace". The minister looked around.

"I Gil, take you Catherine to be my wife, to have and to hold in sickness and in health in good times and bad all the days of my life".

I Catherine, take you Gil to be my husband, to have and to hold in sickness and in health in good times and bad all days of my life".

Lindsey took the rings from JT's pillow and handed them to Grissom.

Gil took the ring and placed it on Catherine's finger, "With this ring I thee wed".

Catherine took Grissom's ring and placed it on his finger, "With this ring I thee wed".

"Without further ado I now pronounce for the first time Gil and Catherine Grissom". The Minister said.

Everyone walked back down the aisle as the close family and friends that were at the ceremony clapped and stood up.

Catherine and Gil had made it. They were finally married and neither could erase the smiles that were plastered on their faces.
