Chapter Seven
When their plan had landed at the London airport it had been well into the afternoon. Everyone had decided to just check into the hotel rooms and then hang out at the hotel. Most of the parents had opted to go to the bar or get something to eat. The kids on the other had had chosen to go to the pool and the game room. Catherine and Grissom were two of the adults at the bar. It was free mike night, sadly. Catherine as sober as was Grissom both having chosen not to have hangovers in the morning. All of the parents in there had already made fools of themselves, those children who had come to watch the parents sing laughing or blushing when it was their parents up there. Lindsey had tried to encourage the two to sing but both refused.
"Gil ..."
"Cath ..." Grissom interrupted begging with his eyes that she wouldn't ask the question. She stuck her tongue out.
"Fine I'll sing by myself," jumping up she rushed to the stage and told them to play a particular song. Lindsey had never heard her mom sing before but had heard from different people she is a good singer. When the song began Catherine raised her head eyes still closed. Hey eyes opened as she began to sing in a beautiful voice.
From
this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right
beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
Her eyes fell on Grissom. The beam of the light made it appear as if a halo was around her. Everyone was in aw as she sung but with eyes only for him. Blue was on blue the entire time. Lindsey sat smirking happily as she watched the two. 'Please please please let it happen,' she begged.
From
this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And
for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
He too felt blessed with happiness and couldn't help but smiling. He stood placing his cup on the bar and as if in slow motion walked towards the stage.
I
give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life
with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart My
dreams came true because of you
He was half way to her mesmerized by her beauty and voice. Lindsey couldn't help but smile as he climbed onto the stage, she turning to be facing him as she sung. He stopped right in front of her blue on blue still.
From
this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you
this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're
the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers
from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came
true because of you
From
this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you
this
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From
this moment on
When she finished singing his lips collided with hers and the mike fell to the ground the noise echoing throughout the room. Cheers erupted in the room for an encore and for the kiss. Lindsey was squealing in delight and clapping. Some of the kids were looking at her curiously. "That's my mommy!" She yelled to some random person, being a drunk parent on the trip. "That's my mommy."
Grissom appeared in front of her and pulled her up into his arms. She giggled slightly. "Uncle Gil."
"Butterfly," he said back laughing. "How bout we go out to eat?"
"Okay," she smiled and hugged him. "I love you Uncle Gil." He was silent for a moment and smiled. Catherine appeared at his shoulder smiling.
"I love you to baby," he whispered so softly both women hardly heard him.
"Gil ... come on lets go please."
"Impatient."
"Hungry," she smirked. "You know I could do more Shania Twain songs if you want. Maybe get some of the outfits as well," she winked and walked off. He laughed going after her. They found a Wendy's and ate peacefully and then went back to the hotel. They ended up playing twister all night until they fell asleep, Lindsey lying between them on the bed.
A/N Okay that's all I got for now sorry. Writers block sucks you know.
