What I Want You To See Part III
Title: What I Want You To See Pt.3 Author: Lyndz Rating: Still PG-13 Pairing: C/S Disclaimer: Don't own don't sue Author Note: Thanks for the continual support. I love feedback so please keep it coming...it keeps me motivated. Ideas are always welcome. As for this chapter I know Sara doesn't actually have an office in the show but she sure as hell deserves one, so for the sake of my fic she is having one. Anyways hope you all enjoy and please feedback.
Sara got to work and headed straight to her office. She still had an hour until shift officially started and thought she would finish off some long overdue paperwork. When she opened the door a bouquet of wild flowers greeted her. She walked over to them and grabbed the card.
Sara,
I am SO sorry for what I said. I was being a real jerk and didn't realize it would hurt your feelings. So please accept these flowers as an apology for my behavior the other day. I really am truly sorry.
Nick
She knew he would never intentionally hurt her, but lately since the promotion application they had drifted apart. She wasn't even sure she would call him a friend anymore. Normally she wouldn't accept an apology this easily, but at least this cleared the air and they could get back to just co-existing.
Greg came walking into her office with a smile on his face.
"It looks like you've got a secret admirer."
"Actually this is just Nick's way of saying he's sorry for hurting me."
"Well good. If he hadn't done anything about it we might have had words."
"You know if you practice hard enough with that macho act I might actually believe you sometime soon."
Both of them started laughing.
"Anyways speaking of admirers, when are you and Catherine gunna pull your heads outta your asses and see what everyone else can see."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"This is me you're talking to Sare, you don't have to hide anything from me."
Sara took a deep breath. If she couldn't tell Greg who could she tell?
"Am I really that obvious?"
"You both are...but don't worry I think the Doc and I are the only ones who have caught on so far."
"Greg it's too weird! We always butt heads."
"I don't think your heart cares what your head is telling it hunny."
"But what do I do about it?"
"Well what do you normally do?"
"God, I don't know! This is Catherine we are talking about! No rules apply."
"Just woo her"
"Simple as that huh?"
"Simple as that. Now get out of here shift is starting soon."
Sara walked into the break room, Catherine looked up and the both shared a sweet smile. Sara walked over to the coffee machine and poured herself a cup. Content to just lean against the counter and watch Catherine as she read through a magazine.
A couple minutes later Nick and Warrick came into the break room. Nick immediately walked over to Sara with a hopeful smile on his face.
"Did you get my flowers?"
"I did"
"And am I forgiven?"
"Yeah"
"Thanks Sara you're the best." He wrapped her in a quick hug and then went over and joined Warrick at the TV. Sara just shook her head, 'so much for that.'
Grissom rushed in handed Nick and Warrick an assignment slip, and Catherine and Sara one then left the room.
"He just gets worse and worse with every year" Warrick said shaking his head at their socially inept boss.
They grabbed their kits and headed to their respective cases. This was going to be a hard case. Rape cases really affected Sara, if Grissom hadn't noticed Catherine certainly did and was determined to be there for her this time.
They collected all the evidence and then headed back out to the Denali. They got in and headed back to the lab. On the way there Sara did nothing but stare out the window in a daze. Catherine pulled into the lab lot and parked the truck; Sara continued to stare out the window. Cath tried calling her name a couple times but got no response. She inched closer to Sara and slipped her hand into Sara's. Sara looked up and into Catherine's eyes and gave her a sad smile. Catherine lifted up Sara's hand and pressed her lips to the soft skin.
"I am here for you always"
"Thanks"
They got all the evidence and logged it into the evidence vault. Sara took some evidence to one of the free labs and worked on deciphering it. Catherine left the evidence she was working on and went to check on her. When she entered the other lab she saw Sara leaning forward on her stool with her head rested on the table. This position caused her shirt to ride up giving Catherine a perfect view of tattoo number 3. I was a series of intricate Celtic designs. Catherine smiled and walked forward. It was like she had no control over her body when she was near Sara. She reached out and placed her hand on the newfound tattoo. Sara jumped at the touch but realized immediately who it was. Catherine leaned in close and whispered into her ear.
"Found number three"
"You did and I regret there is no real story with this one. It was just an impulse."
"Well I love it just the same...so how are you doing with your evidence?" Catherine asked as she continues to trace the new tattoo.
"Fine I guess; I was just taking a break."
"Yeah I caught that" Catherine said smirking.
"I just really hate these cases. I hate that these girls have to go through this."
Sara wasn't one to broadcast her emotions unless they were of an angry nature, but Catherine could see her struggling to hold in her pain. She turned Sara's stool around so that they were both facing each other, she took Sara's hands in her own and pulled her up off the stool and into her arms. There was no protest on either behalf, the just stood there being comforted. Knowing it couldn't last forever and not wanting to arouse suspicion they broke apart.
"Thanks I really needed that"
"Anytime"
Sara woke up with a start from one of her usual nightmares. She got up and jumped into the shower to try and wash away the memories. She wasn't in much of a running mood so she slipped on some shorts and a t-shirt and headed out to the park for a walk. Lindsey only had to stay in detention for 20 minutes after school each day so would probably be getting to the park in half an hour. Sara spent that time walking around and watching the other occupants. She finally made her way over to her usual spot on the bench to wait. The figure that sat down beside her wasn't who she was expecting, but wasn't unwelcome either.
"Hey Sara."
"Hey Cat"
"I could use a little company and knew that you would be here, I hope you don't mind?"
"Not at all, I could use a little too."
"So how was your morning so far?"
"Oh great, woke up from my usual nightmare and had a shower. How about you?"
"I didn't really get much sleep. Too much worrying and over thinking"
"Yeah I know that feeling"
Sara reached in between them and grabbed Catherine's hand into her own. Catherine took a deep breath and began speaking.
"Sara...I get these feelings when I am around you and it seems to me that you feel them too"
"I do, but I am not sure exactly how to handle it. I mean I have done this before but with you its...different."
"I am having really strong feelings when I am near you...I'd like to see where they are headed...that is if you want to."
"I do, I really do"
They sat there for a while just staring at each other with big smiles on their faces. Catherine pulled Sara into a loose hug, letting Sara snuggle into her.
Lyndsey just reached the park when she saw her Mom and Sara snuggled together on the bench. It took all her strength not to start screaming...instead she did a quick victory dance. She crept towards them slowly not wanting to alert them of her presence and have them separate. She walked right up behind the bench and spoke.
"Does this mean you guys are finally together?"
They jumped apart in surprise. Sara's eyes were nearly popping out from the suggestion out of her young mouth. Lyndsey being so open about the idea of them together kind of took her for a loop. Even thought they had talked about it before, Catherine didn't look much better.
"C'mon guys don't leave me hanging here, are you dating or not?"
"We are taking it slow."
Lyndsey started jumping up and down squealing in happiness. After about 5 minutes of that she flung herself into Catherine and Sara's arms.
"This is so cool guys!"
"You really don't mind? Cause I don't want it to be weird between you and your mom."
"Are you kidding I love it, It was my plan all along!"
"Huh"
"Excuse me?"
"Oh wow it's been like ages since I have been on a swing, I think its time for a reunion. See-Ya!"
Both Catherine and Sara laughed as they watched Lyndsey run off to the swings. Things were looking up for the girls.
