Chapter 17
Summary: It's time to party.
Disclaimer: Song is by Bon Jovi-therefore I don't own it.
A/N: I've been really busy lately, so I apologize for the tardiness. I'm hoping to get another couple of chapters by weeks end-otherwise it won't be till next week because I'm going FISHING! WOOOO HOOOO!
After the ceremony, pictures were taken and the food was served. There was spinach lasagna for Sara and meat lasagna for everyone else.
After dinner the music started and people began to dance.
Everyone stood up as Gil and Catherine went onto the dance floor.
"What a great idea to have a dance floor built into the patio". Sara said as she held Nick's hand.
"It's a rotating floor actually". Nick replied.
"Wow that is really cool". Greg replied as he sat sipping his beer.
"Everyone may I have your attention, let's all give a warm welcome for the first time dancing as husband and wife Gil and Catherine Grissom". Warrick said addressing everyone.
The first song came on and it was 'Thank You for Loving Me' by Bon Jovi.
Catherine looked up at Gil as they started swaying to the music. Grissom started to sing quietly into Catherine's ear.
It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I
Sara and Nick sat at their table kissing. Warrick had his arms around Mia's waist as they watched Catherine and Grissom dance.
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Lindsey was sitting on Greg's lap watching her mom and dad dance as an official couple for life.
"They're so good together". Lindsey said as she wiped a fallen tear.
Greg smiled, "They sure are"!
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Everyone else came out on to the dance floor and joined the newly married couple. Nick placed his hand gently on Sara's belly and smiled.
Grissom kissed Catherine with such passion that after awhile they almost forgot where they were.
"I love you Catherine Marie Grissom, thank you so much for loving me".
"Thank you for loving me Gil, I love you so much". She replied tears springing from her eyes.
You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me
Solo
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
When I couldn't fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
A new song came on and Nick and Sara danced with Grissom and Catherine.
Sara smiled at Grissom.
"What's that smile for Sara"? Grissom questioned.
"You're finally a married man Gil Grissom, never thought I'd see the day". Sara replied still grinning.
"Yes, but I think the fact that I'm going to be a new father in a few months scares me just a bit more than being a husband".
"You're going to be a wonderful father, I mean Lindsey loves you so much and you're having twins and that's twice the joy",
Grissom looked down at Sara's stomach.
"What's wrong Griss"? Sara questioned.
"Just thinking about how strong you are in battling your leukemia and being pregnant at the same time".
Sara smiled, "You've given me love and support Griss, you all have given me the courage and the strength I need".
Sara leaned up to give him a hug and he returned it.
"Catherine and I were talking about the whole godparents' thing and we'd love it if you and Nicky were the godparents of the twins". Grissom replied.
"I'm sure I can speak for Nicky when I say that we would be honored to be the godparents' for the twins".
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Everyone had danced with everyone else and it was finally time to cut the cake.
Grissom and Catherine cut into the cake and fed each other a couple of bites and then posed for some pictures.
Nick and Sara were dancing together as were Greg and Lindsey.
Catherine was happy to see how good Sara was feeling. JT was dancing with Mia and then went over to get Lindsey to dance with him so that Mia could dance with Warrick.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The reception ended and Lindsey went home with Warrick and Mia, while Gil and Catherine stayed in the honeymoon suite at the Bellagio. Nick, Sara and the gang went in on the room just like they had done for their wedding.
The next day Catherine and Grissom would head to George Town, Cayman Islands.
