Sidle Chick- for been the most constant review ever : )
Jtbwriter- I was sat watching Finding Nemo and for some reason I just thought it would be funny if Grissom watched it, so that's how my weird mind works : )
Grissom had turned down his job offer of supervisor claiming his people skills weren't good enough. Catherine had practically jumped three desks to say how she would like it. Cath had been given the temporary position along with Grissom until someone could be found; this was a reason Sara was pleased she wasn't at work. Somehow the thought of Catherine having that much power scared her.
Grissom rolled over looking at the clock it read 5:12am. He looked back and watched Sara wrestle with the sheets occasionally moaning every now and then. This was only the third time since they had been home she had nightmares. Grissom gently put a hand on her shoulder she was clammy.
"Sara" he whispered. She pulled away from his hand.
"Sara" he said a bit louder not wanting to startle her. "Sara" finally she woke up. Her eyes were wide and she immediately withdrew from him. Her breathing was quick and ragged.
"It's ok" he moved closer to her and put an arm round her. Her breathing slowed down as she lent against him.
"Remember I'm here and I will never let anyone hurt you" Sara buried her face in his side.
"Sara look at me" Grissom pulled her chin up so she looked directly into his eyes.
"Look. Your safe" she nodded staring into his eyes made her nightmare disappear and she felt safe.
"I love you"
"I love you too," he said hugging her and rubbing her back.
"Well were up now how about breakfast?" asked Grissom pulling on a dressing gown.
"It's only just gone five!" said Sara rolling over and looking at the alarm clock.
"Yes but were going to meet everyone from the lab remember" Sara rolled back so she lay on her back. This would be the first time she had been out with everyone. She wasn't back at work for what seemed like ages and they had agreed to meet the others for breakfast.
"GIL" shouted Sara to get his attention "You may remember which were having breakfast with them!" she added laughing as he came back in holding the kettle.
"Oh. Well I'm sure we can entertain ourselves until then" he said putting the kettle down and getting back into bed with a giggling Sara.
By 8am the others were sat around at table waiting for Grissom and Sara.
"So do you think she'll like the idea" Warrick asked Catherine.
"I don't think she'll like it but I think she'll do it," said Catherine while examining the menu.
"Where are they I'm hungry?" moaned Greg rubbing his stomach dramatically.
"There" said Nick pointing to the entrance where they had just come in.
"Well don't they look loved up!" laughed Greg. Grissom was publicly holding hands with Sara.
"Come on I'm hungry," said Greg as he moved up to allow them on.
"So what kept you?" asked Catherine while Greg took everyone's orders.
"Oh we just woke up late," said Sara suppressing a grin.
"I bet" winked Catherine much to the distress of Grissom.
"So I miss anything?" asked Grissom quickly changing the subject.
"Hodges shouted at Ecklie because he tried to move Sara's stuff," laughed Greg
"Hodges?" she questioned.
"Apparently you're the only person in the lab he likes"
"You should be honoured," laughed Nick as Sara looked sternly at him.
"Great" she muttered.
"FOOD" cried Greg as there breakfasts were brought.
"DAMN" hissed Sara loudly as the fried egg she was trying to cut one-handed shot of the plate and onto Nick's lap.
"I could cut it if you like" said Nick receiving the death look.
"She likes to be independent," said Grissom putting it so that Sara didn't give him the glare.
"Well if you don't let somebody else do it then Nick's going to be wearing it," laughed Cath taking the knife from Sara and cutting it. "You want me to feed you?" Sara snapped the fork from Catherine and shoved it in her mouth while shaking her head.
"Well ask her," said Nick elbowing Warrick.
"Ask me what?" asked Sara as her empty plate was taken away.
"Well I'm playing piano at a friends off mine's club and he wants someone to sing with me"
"And we thought since you have a lot of time on your hands" added Catherine. Sara shuck her head firmly.
"NO"
"Well you can keep saying no until we wear you down or you can except defeat and sing" said Catherine. Sara looked round the table with everyone staring at her.
"Fine" she mumbled.
"Thanks" said Warrick leaning over to hug her.
2 weeks later
"When are they on?" said Greg playing with his drink.
"Soon" snapped Catherine who was sat next to Grissom who was fidgeting constantly.
"You got ants in your pants?" asked Catherine as he moved again.
"No" he hissed back.
"Then stop moving" Catherine hissed back. Grissom began fumbling through his back pocket before revelling a small box and opening it to show an engagement ring.
"I'm flattered but I think Sara will be a bit pissed" smirked Catherine.
" No Catherine…it's not…" Catherine cut him off before he dug a hole for himself.
"I know Gil. It's for Sara," she reiterated.
"I wanted to know if you thought it was a good idea"
"YES"-replied Cath stirring her drink.
"I'm scared," he whispered. "What if she say's no or doesn't like it?"
"Grissom if you proposed with a onion ring she would say yes. That is how much she loves you." Greg bust into loud laughter with the image and the several mixers he'd had.
"You don't think it's too soon?"
"The time you to have spent dancing around each other I don't think so!"
"I didn't see them dance when they do that?" slurred Greg.
"God I'm not taking him home" sighed Cath.
"I like the older model" purred Greg.
"Ok no more drinks," announced Grissom saving Greg from a slap.
"I don't think I can do this" Said Sara pacing behind the curtain on stage as Warrick sat at the piano.
"You can," said Nick watching her pace.
"What if I'm rubbish?"
"Your not"
"God I feel sick," she moaned sitting down by Warrick.
"Hey what about me. I'm trying to impress Catherine, you got Grissom," he laughed.
"Yer about that man. You kept that quiet" Warrick just winked at him.
"I can't remember the words," said Sara beginning to pace again.
"You will be fine nothing will go wrong" reassured Nick.
"I think I'm going to throw up," she said still pacing.
"Well yes if you don't stand still, your starting to make me nauseous." smiled Nick.
"Right two minutes" came a voice from behind them.
"Well better go," said Nick hugging Sara and patting Warrick on the back before leaving.
"Ladies and gentlemen our live performance tonight will be by Warrick Brown and Sara Sidle" said the man stood on stage as the curtain went back. Both Grissom and Catherine caught their breath. Warrick was sat at the piano in a black tux complete with red bow tie. Catherine had looked at Warrick like this a few time recently but this was the fist time she had realised she actually fancied him. Grissom stared in ore at Sara. She had her arm out her cast and there were only a few cuts visible on her arms. She wore a long deep red dress. It ended lower one side than it did the other extenuating her long legs and dropped just below her neckline. Suddenly all his fear was gone he would propose and she would say yes.
Greg clapped wildly as Warrick began to play. The room fell silent as Sara began
I think back all these times And the dreams we left behindI'll be glad' cause I was blessed
To get to have you in my life
When I look back all these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me
"Wow there good" whispered Greg to Nick who was sat swaying next to Catherine.
"I knew Sara could sing but wow" he replied. Catherine sat staring at Warrick watching his fingers twiddle as he changed key.
In my dreams I'll always see you sore above the skyIn my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there'll you'll be
And everywhere I am there'll you'll be
Everyone broke into applause as Sara finished and both took a bow.
"See you remembered the words and didn't throw up!" whispered Warrick as they walked of stage.
"You two were ace," shouted Greg as they came over to the table.
"Wow man that was some cool playing" added Nick slapping Warrick's back.
"I didn't know you could play like that" smiled Cath.
"Well did you know I also dance?" said Warrick holding his hand out.
"We'll see," she said getting up.
"Sara" said Grissom getting up and taking her hand.
"Bye boys" she grinned heading to the dance floor with Grissom.
"Hey do you think they got a Faith Hill CD for Christmas!" laughed Catherine as Breath played over the stereo.
"And what's wrong with that?" questioned Warrick spinning her around.
"Whoah" said Catherine tripping on her heal as Warrick caught her they paused for a minute.
"Maybe we should sit down," he suggested.
"Good idea anyway I want to watch Grissom," said Cath pointing to where Grissom was fumbling falling over Sara's feet while he danced.
"Sara I know I have a problem with emotions but when I'm around you. I used to find it hard to say what I felt"
"I know its ok now" said Sara. Grissom pulled away much to Sara's shock.
"I don't have that problem anymore. Sara Sidle I love you and I want you to marry me," he said his hands visibly shaking holding out the ring.
"Yes," she said taking his hand and pulling him closer to her. The answer had come out before her brain even processed it; she heard the words and knew the answer yet they somehow bypassed the part of her brain that said GIL GRISSOM JUST PROPOSED!
"Yes?" he questioned still unsure somehow.
"Yes" she laughed pulling him into a hug before kissing him. Applause broke out from the table with Greg spilling his drink as he held it in his mouth while clapping as they stood and kissed.
"Wait you knew he was going to do that" hissed Warrick while clapping. Greg was nearly chocking on his drink.
"He kept that quite. Grissom is showing emotion something is wrong. Very wrong" announced Greg falling off his seat.
"He told us only minutes ago," said Catherine looking at Greg sat on the floor. "Never mind" she finished.
"Sara you were great singing and I was scared that you wouldn't say yes and…" Sara put a finger to his mouth.
"It's me who supposed to over talk not you. How about we go back and celebrate?"
"Yes" he said picking her up and carrying her out the club too the whistles and applauds from Greg who was been propped up by Nick.
"Where too?" asked the cab driver.
"Home" replied Sara kissing Grissom.
