Grissom watched as Greg agreed not to tell anyone what he just saw. Not that it really would have mattered by the next day the team would all know everything. They may not have wanted to come out this early but in a few weeks there was going to be no hiding what they had. Sure Sara could claim it was a one night stand or that the father walked out when he found out but she did not want to do that. She was the one that wanted the team to know. He knew it was time anyways and with the whole wanting to spend the rest of his life with Sara not having to hide that he was madly in love with her just added to the want to tell the team. As Greg and Sara walked out of his office back the break room it gave him a moment to look at the cases that he would be handing out but his mind went to the desk drawer where he had a ring. It was a ring that was white gold and had a princess cut sapphire stone. His mom had given it to him when he first meet Sara and never said anything of it. It was different then the normal engagement rings one would get when asking the love of his life to marry him. But Grissom thought that it would be perfect just like Sara. As he looked at the cases again he decide that neither would be good for Sara to go as both cases the bodies had been there for a few hours if not longer. He decided to pair himself with Greg and give Catherine her old team back for the case. He hoped Sara would be okay with doing paperwork most of the night. Just as he was about to stand up Sara come walking though the door closing it behind her. Grissom could see that she still was not feeling herself. Her morning sickness (or night sickness because they where going to bed normal peoples mornings) was what got them to realize that something was going on. Lucky for them Sara had that night off and did not have to try hiding the fact that every smell was making her sick. It had gotten better where not every smell made her sick but tonight it hit her hard again.
"Are the crackers still here or did I take them home last night?" Sara asked as she shut the door.
"How far did you make it before a smell got to you?" Grissom asked handing Sara a pack of crackers he had put in his drawer a few nights before. He was glad he had brought the bigger pack even though Catherine had looked at him funny when he stopped on the way back from a crime scene to buy two boxes. He also reached into the mini fridge that was brand new and pulled out a small bottle of ginger ale even when Sara was not sick she loved drinking ginger ale and so Grissom decided to have some on hand because someone kept taking hers out of the fridge in the break room.
"About half way down the hall. Lucky for me Greg has already seen me throw up or I don't think I would have been able to get away as fast as I did. Would you mind if I stayed in the lab tonight and worked on paperwork? I am sure I have a few old reports that need finished."
Grissom smiled and know that he had made the right choose when he had kept Sara back. "I had already thought about it and both cases tonight the bodies are a few hours old and I know how they would smell. You can use my office to work in as the door has a lock so if needed you can lock it if needed." With that Grissom walked out the door. Taking out his personal phone something both carried he sent her a message. 'Sorry you are not feeling well. I love you.'
-Break Room-
Greg had just gotten back and told the team that Grissom should be back with their assignments soon. He had a feeling that Catherine had not let up on the whole Grissom has a wife thing and hope he was working with either Grissom or Sara if she was going into the field tonight.
-After the assignments had been given-
Warrick, Nick and Catherine made their way out of the break room to grab their kits and head to their crime scene. Greg looked at Grissom and said "I am glad I am not going with them. She will question them both till they are black and blue." Both of them laughed and went to get their own kits stopping on the way out to check on Sara who had locked Grissom door.
"I think I would like to be a fly right now." Greg said laughing when Grissom looked at him like he had two heads he added "That why I could hear what was going on in the car with Catherine."
That caused Grissom to laugh too. He would love to be a fly in that car. He could only imagine the question Catherine had.
Warrick and Nick looked at each other knowing that the ride to the crime scene was going to feel a lot long then it would take. Catherine was not letting up on the whole Grissom having a wife and how this would hurt Sara more then anyone knew.
Of course Nick had to say something when Catherine mention Sara. "I don't know if Sara will take it hard anymore. I think she has moved on from Grissom. I mean she seems so much happier then she use to and she has been leaving almost on time not coming in until the beginning of shift unless she is called in. Also she was late to shift a few nights ago claims she overslept."
Catherine was not hearing it and was already planning where she would take Sara to get over Grissom. "I mean you think you know someone and then you find out he has a wife. A wife. Who gets married and does not tell anyone? I mean if I married someone I would wear a ring."
Nick and Warrick decide to let Catherine rant and not really listen to what she was saying but Brass got an earful when Catherine got out of the car. "Brass did you know that Grissom has a wife?"
Brass looked like he was in shock with what Catherine had just told him and was not sure how to answer. Sure he know that Grissom had a 'wife' but how in the world did Catherine find out. "Catherine you know how rumors are they are never true. I am sure if Grissom was married he would have told us." With that Brass gave the details of the crime scene then walked away. Sitting in his car Brass called Sara hoping that she would pick up.
"Hello Brass." Sara answered with a smile she know this had to be good.
"Just a heads up Catherine seems to have a thing in her head that Grissom has a wife. Know anything about that?" Brass asked needing to know the story.
"Ah that. She might have heard Mrs. Waffles ask Grissom about his wife." They talked for a few moments thinking of how fun this could be if they had not already decided to tell the team the truth.
-About an hour before shift ends-
The two cases had become one and Grissom was wanting to check on Sara but he could not think of a good reason to go to his office. He was surprised that Catherine had stopped talking about the fact that he had a wife and was all into the case. Just when he thought he would be there until shift ended Greg come into the room. "Grissom I was asked to tell you that a Mrs Grissom is on the phone for you. She needs to talk to you right away said it could not wait." Greg was afraid that his face would give something away so he turn his head to the wall were the crime scene pictures where hung. He noticed something odd and made the comment to Catherine about it as he watch Grissom nearly run out of the room.
-Grissom's Office-
Sara was starting to doubt about telling the team. How would they feel about not being told sooner? Would they feel like they cannot be trusted? She knows they have to tell them as soon it will become known that she is seeing someone or had seen someone and she did not want anyone to think it was a one night stand or anything. But she wanted to have a little fun with Catherine first. With the help of Brass it would work she hoped Grissom would like her plan. Grissom opens the door to his office to see Sara behind his desk with a worried look on her face.
"Sara it will be alright. I know you are worried what the team will think but we are like family."
"I know but that does not make the questions in my head go away. Anyways can we have a little fun with Catherine before we tell them. I know Brass would love to help with this."
Grissom did not need to think it over he knew his answer would be yes to anything legal right now. He did not want to act like it but he was nervous as well. He knows the team will be shocked but what else would they be. Was it wrong of them to hide the almost two year relationship even though the mayor had worked it out that they could work together when he found out about them the year before? Grissom laugh at the memory of how the mayor found. He needed to keep his lips and hands off of Sara when in the car. Although who would have thought that where they where someone from Vegas would be there. He saw Sara looking at him like he was crazy. "Sorry was remember when (making sure the door was closed all the way) the two of us where caught making out by the mayor."
Sara started laughing too. "Good thing it was dark and he could not see what else was happening." Remember that there was a hand in a place where a boss's hand should not be. And if she remembered right she had broken the kiss for a little something saltier then his kisses. "I still cannot figure out how Brass found out though but I am glad he did."
-10 mins before shift ends-
Sara was sleeping on the chair in Grissom's office as Grissom tried to do paperwork but he was to busy coming up with a plan. He was texting with Brass coming up with the ideas. It was about then that he remembered that he needed to pickup Hank from the sitters early then he normal would. He looked at Sara and almost did not want to wake her.
-Diner about 30 mins after shift-
"He left on time where is he at?" Catherine was getting mad it was Grissom's idea to eat after shift and neither him or Sara where there yet.
The others at the table just looked at her as they had no idea what to say about that time a phone started ringing. Brass looked down and smiled this was going to be fun.
"Hello Mrs. Grissom. What can I do for you?" Brass heard a laugh and then 'Can you tell Catherine that Grissom had to go get Hank before breakfast so we will be there a little late. Also he says to tell her that Sara is with us.' "Will do Mrs. Grissom." Hanging up the phone he told everyone what he had been told and waited.
