Confessions and the Photo Album

They walked into Sara's apartment dripping wet, Grissom had his 'car bag' with him.

"Bathroom's there, I'm going to go change" she said walking to her bedroom. She grabbed a

pair of jeans and a shirt. Once Grissom had changed into his clothes, he looked at Sara's

bookcase. He noticed books on physics, criminal behavior, forensics and a photo album. He

expected to find pictures of her family but instead of them two. 'The Best Years of My Life,

1990-1999' was on the front, he opened it to find the many pictures he had expected her to

loose, throw away or forget. He expected that the memories they had gained over that 9 year

period to be thrown out after how he had treated her over the last 5 years. "Thought I'd throw

them out after how you treated me? Thing you told me once was...keep what you have while it

lasts. If those are the only memories I had while we were friends than I'm keeping them." she

said coming over. " I've treated you so badly the last 5 years Beautiful Girl, I can't find a way to

say sorry." with regret of how he had treated her. "Just say 'sorry' andI can forgive you. Damn

Grissom... it's not that hard. You know that's the one thing you've never done.. is to say sorry."

she threw out. "I'm sorry Sara... is it too late for a chance with you" He whispered to her and

Sara smiled "I forgive you Gris and it's not too late, let's sit down." Taking the photo album, she

placed it down and took his hand. They sat down and she looked at him, "I heard what you

told Lurie that night, it gave me closure knowing you cared and loved me, but you couldn't risk

it all. I understood that and moved on...till you gave me that look one day. It was the look you

gave me when wefriends all those years ago. Then your voice came back to the same it was all

those years ago. That thought came back and so did that hope, the thought and hope that you'd

take a chance and be with me. What about you?" she said. " Almost loosing you last night was

tha final wall breaking, the first was Debbie Marlin...it took me a week to realize that you were

alive and around me. After I did realized it I just wanted to take you into my arms and never let

you go, I can't loose you Sara...you get me through each day and you're also the reason why I

stay late, to see you sleep. You sleep on the breakroom couch and it reminds me of years ago,

you look beautiful when you sleep...hey" she slapped him. "I look like crap when I sleep" she

said and he grabbed her. He held her to him and Sara snuggled closer to him. "You were my

life and you didn't know it. I love you Sara" he said and Sara began to cry. "Sara, Honey

what's wrong? What did I say wrong?" He asked as he looked at her. "Nothing...you said

everything right."wiping away her tears "I love you too" adding before starting to cry again. He

held her till she stopped crying. He never thought he'd have the love of his life in his arms again.

Sara calmed down and picked up the photo album. Flipping to the first page, they looked at it.

After getting to the 5th page Grissom made a comment "We proved pigs can fly there" Sara

laughed about what he said. "You called me down from Boston on spring break to help prove

how a pig can go 50 ft. in the air from a truck wreck on the top of a hill and than land at the

bottom 100 ft from the bottom of the hill. You praticly called me from Boston when you could

to help with a theroy...intil you got transfered here and than you came to see me. Afraid

Catherine would get jealeous of me?" she asked with a smirk. "She knew about you when she

found the picture I had of you in my office." he replied. "So that's why she was so hostile

towards me in the beginning. I think she has a thing for you." He shook his head and looked at

her "Only you are for me Beautiful Girl" Sara smiled and said "Not even Sofia?" He decided to

make it clear to her so Grissom took her chin in his thumb and index fingers, pulling her to him

and he kissed her. Sara welcomed the kiss and it lasted a long while, after separating the two

sat going over their past memories while trying to wonder what their future together would hold.
