Wow. This chapter's kinda long. Sorry. LOL But I wanted to finish this story so I could post more:-) Just one more chapter to go until my wonderful, most awsomest story is complete! LOL j/k. but... review if you'd like. :D
Some of Sara's friends from college walked through the doors and took Eddie away. Sara rolled her eyes. Her reception party was offically ruined. She wouldn't be surprised if anything else bad happened that day. Gil helped Catherine off the ground and gave her a sad smile. She put her hand to her hip and tapped her foot.
"I just hope you're satisfied."
"Wha-"
"See what you did? All this... because of you."
"Cath-"
"No. I'm leaving. I'm taking Lindsey. And that's it." Lindsey jumped up and shook her head.
"No! I'm not going with you!"
"Yes. You are."
"I want to stay with Dad! I want you two to get together again! Why can't you two see what's infront of you?"
"Because, Lindsey. Your father realized he deserved better than me."
"That's not true, Catherine." Gil said in a deep voice. Catherine stared at him and shook her head.
"Come on, Lindsey." Catherine turned around and started walking back to her car. When she noticed Lindsey wasn't following her, she turned around. "Lindsey. NOW."
"No. I'm not going." Lindsey crossed her arms and shook her head.
"Lindsey Elizabeth."
"Elizabeth. That's her middle name?" Gil asked softly. Catherine gave him a glare and walked back up to him.
"Yeah. Her middle name is Elizabeth. What else do you want to know about your daughter?"
"Everything. If you give me a chance."
"I gave you a chance. You threw it away."
"That's not fair, Catherine and you know it."
"Lindsey... in the car. NOW!" Lindsey looked back at Gil with tears in her eyes. He gave her a small smile and nodded to the car.
"Go ahead, kiddo."
"But, what about you? What- Am I going to see you again?"
"You can count on it. I promise." Catherine snorted and turned around to leave. She sat in the car and waited for Lindsey. Lindsey gave Gil a hug that seemed to last forever and slowly let go. He brushed the tears off her cheeks and smiled down at her. She walked back to the car and got in. Gil watched them leave and stood in his place for almost the rest of the night.
Catherine pulled into the driveway and slamed on the brakes. Lindsey flew forward and grunted.
"I KNEW it was a bad idea to go to that party..."
"I don't understand you. He loves you. You know he does and yet, you blow him off and act like you don't give a shit."
"Lindsey-"
"No. Let me finish. You told me he didn't want me. You told me he left us. He didn't even KNOW about me."
"Even if he did, it wouldn't of made a difference."
"Bullshit." Lindsey got out of the car and slamed the door shut. Catherine sat in the car for a few seconds before slaming her car door and walking up to Lindsey.
"Fine. You want to know the truth?"
"I don't care anymore."
"So... that's it?" Lindsey walked up to Catherine with her fists balled up. Catherine's eyes grew wide and she took a few steps backwards.
"Don't talk to me about him anymore. Don't tell me what to do when it comes to my father and DON'T lie to me anymore." Lindsey turned her back and walked upstairs to her room. Catherine jumped at the sound of Lindsey's door slaming.
Back at the reception...
Gil turned around and walked back into the reception hall. Not as many people were there. He walked into the dance hall to find Sara still dancing with most of her friends. A few of his family members were around a table, sharing drinks and laughing about past stories. He sighed; realizing he had what he want, but with the wrong person. If he were still with Catherine, the party would be bigger than ever and he'd be a lot happier. He suddenly thought of Lindsey. He missed her already and it had only been a few hours sense she left.
30 minutes later and everyone was almost gone. Sara was talking with one of her best friends at a table. Gil was walking around the place, noticing the decorations and food. He walked back in the room to see Sara and her friend getting up. He walked up to her and smiled.
"Hey..."
"Gil, I'm pretty beat. Nicole's going to take me home, okay?"
"Oh, sure."
"You coming?"
"Ugh... yeah. In a few minutes. I'm just going to stick around the place a few more minutes..."
"Alright... whatever you say. But don't forget, we leave for our honeymoon tomorrow morning."
"Yeah. I know."
"Alright. I'll see you at home." Gil gave her a smile and watched as she walked out to the car. He looked around the room and remebered the dance he shared with Lindsey.
Catherine and Lindsey's house...
Catherine slowly walked up to Lindsey's door and knocked.
"Go away."
"Lindsey... let me in."
"No. Just... just go."
"Come on. We need to talk."
"I'm done talking." Catherine sighed and opened the door. Lindsey was laid on her bed, snuggling with her pillow. Catherine sat next to her and brushed the hair out of her eyes.
"I'm sorry."
"About what? Taking me away from him or lieing to me?"
"Everything. I'm sorry about everything."
"It's kinda to late for an apology now. I'll probably never get to see him again."
"No. He promised you'd see him again. He wouldn't lie to you."
"So you're on his side now?"
"Lindsey... there will always be a part of your father that I'll love... but he's with another woman now. A woman that probably doesn't even know about his beautiful daughter." Lindsey sniffed and sat up.
"Can we PLEASE go see him?"
"Of course, Linds."
"No. Now. I want to see him now."
"Linds... he's probably at home with that-"
"Sara. Her name's Sara."
"Well he's probably at home with Sara."
"I don't know. I have a feeling he's not. Can we just... please? Can we just ride by the reception and if his car isn't there, we'll leave." Catherine's head dropped to her chest. She sighed and looked at Lindsey through her bangs.
"Fine. But if he's not there, we come right back. Got it?"
"Got it. Thank you, Mom." Lindsey leaned over and gave Catherine a big hug.
Gil was standing in the middle of the dance floor. He closed his eyes and remebered everything that had happened that night. He was interupted by two giggles coming from the door. He opened his eyes and turned around. The real love of his life and beautiful daughter were standing there, watching him think.
"Lindsey?"
"Dad!" Lindsey ran from Catherine's side and into Gil's arms. He picked her up and spun her around. Catherine stood there with a huge smile on her face. She slowly walked over to them and smiled.
"Let me guess... she wouldn't stop crying?" Gil said smirking. Lindsey slowly walked away with a smile on her face and headed to the DJ booth. Catherine shrugged her shoulders and smiled.
"I felt bad. She deserves to know much her father loves her."
"Thank you..."
"You don't need to thank me. You need to thank that daughter of yours."
When I look, at your face Your still as pretty as angel,
but there's something outta place What's wrong with you baby,
I don't understand, Is it just me or do you want another man?
Catherine and Gil looked around to see where the music was coming from. They both looked at Lindsey and smiled. Lindsey sent them an innocent smile and walked out of the room. Catherine turned to look at Gil. He smiled and held out his hand.
"May I have this dance?" Catherine hesitated for a second but sighed. She nodded her head and placed her hand in his.
"Of course..."
Take my hand, Say you'll be true Say those simple words, Oh I love only you Take my hand, Ohhh and hold it tight Take my hand and everything will be alright
"Now watch... a few days from now, Sara will be claiming this is our song..." Catherine giggled and rested her head on his shoulder. She forgot how much she missed this. She missed being with him, dancing with him, laughing and talking with him. She missed everything they did together and old feelings were soon coming back to her.
"Where is Mrs. Grissom, anyways?" Catherine said smirking. Gil looked down at her and stared into her eyes. 'Right here, in my arms.', he thought. He shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
"She went back to the house."
Still got the moves that blow me away and when you kiss me baby I still don't know what to say but deep down inside me girl somthings wrong i'm still a fool for you honey was I your fool all a long
"I've missed you." Gil said looking down at her. She smiled and nodded her head.
"So have I."
"I DO love you. I love you and Lindsey..."
"Gil. You just got married. This isn't the best thing to say to-"
"I don't care." He spoke softly. They leaned closer together until their faces were inches apart. Lindsey stood in the middle of the doorway with a huge smile on her face.
Take my hand, say you'll be true and say those simple words oh I love only you Take my hand, oh! and hold it tight Take my hand and everything will be alright
"Gil?"
"Hmmm?"
"I..."
"You what?" They stopped moving all together. Lindsey put her hands to her mouth as she realized what was soon to come.
"I love you too." He smiled and slowly kissed her. Lindsey let out a small giggle and jumped up. She felt like running to them and throwing her arms around them, but she didn't want to ruin their moment.
oh I got the feeling that you want a new life but I was hopeing that someday, oh you'd be my wife I understand if you wanted someone new I could just about imagine how long it would take to get over you
Catherine broke away and shook her head.
"I'm sorry. God, you must hate me now. I can't believe-"
"Catherine..."
"Hmm?"
"I love you."
"I... I don't know what to do..."
"I do."
"You're married... and not to me." She said softly. A tear rolled down her cheek. He brushed it away and smiled.
oh take my hand, say you'll be true say those simple words, oh I love only you take my hand, oh and hold it tight take my hand and everything will be alright,Yeah Yeah Yeah take my hand say you'll be true say those simple words oh I love only you take my hand oh and hold it tight take my hand and everything will be alright.
They slowly broke apart and Lindsey walked up to them. They stared at each other until Lindsey spoke.
"Mom? Dad?"
"Um... Linds?" Catherine broke stepped away from Gil and sighed.
"Yeah, Mom?"
"How'd you like to spend the rest of the week with your father?" Lindsey and Gil's face both lit up. Gil suddenly remebered the honey moon and sighed.
"Our honeymoon is tomorrow..." Lindsey looked down and put her hands behind her back. "... but I guess you'll just be coming with us."
Mkay. The song is, Take My Hand by Wayne Toups. A nice, cute little song I use to listen to when I was younger. You guys have probably never even heard it before, but it's cute. And it's probably something you'd NEVER catch Gil and Cath dancing to, but I wanted to use it. SHOOT ME! lol :-) Well... one more chapter to go and it's over :(tell me watch ya think! XD (Sorry if there's any grammer mistakes.)
