Grissom and Sara walked in the living room and saw Emma sitting on the couch with a smirk on her face.
"Hi Emma" greeted Sara.
"Well look who it is? I see you decided to put some clothes on"
"Emma…" Sara blushed, lightly punching her shoulder.
"So you are Grissom I presume. Nice to finally meet you" she said extending her hand.
Grissom shook her hand, "Yes I am, but call me Gil. Any friend of Sara's is a friend of mine."
"Okay, Gil"
"So Emma, why don't you tell Gil a little about yourself" said Sara.
"Okay. Well let's see, I am from San Francisco originally, my parents died at a young age, so I moved around foster homes a lot, I was teased all throughout high school, graduated with honors from Yale three years ago, then came back to San Francisco and met Sara when she came here 4 months ago."
"Wow, you are like Sara's twin" said Grissom.
"I know, she was like a god sent when she showed up at my door. All the other people who came here looking for a room were the popular, social people I hate and then Sara showed up and she was just perfect. She is like my best friend and my mother all rolled into one."
Sara started crying and Grissom pulled her into an embrace.
"That is the sweetest, nicest thing anyone has ever said to me" sobbed Sara.
"Hmmm, I have heard that before" laughed Grissom.
Sara smacked him on the back and got up to hug Emma.
"Thanks Emma. You're pretty great too" said Sara.
"Excuse me guys, I have to use the restroom, all these hormones are getting to me" laughed Sara.
After Sara left the room, Emma turned to Grissom, grabbing his hands. "Sara is a great girl and she loves you very much. You are a lucky man Gil. Hold onto her, she needs you."
"Thanks Emma, that means a lot. So tell me, how has she been lately?"
"Well, let's see, when she first got here, she was a mess. She didn't stop crying for 2 whole weeks. After she stopped crying, I finally got her to go to a therapist, and she was doing really well. I got her to open up about her past and what not, and I confided in her about my past as well. After we got through her past, she started talking about you, and I couldn't get her to stop. She was always in a good mood when she talked about you, but I could tell deep down she was in pain because she had to leave you. The day she came home with the pregnancy test, I was shocked. She took the test and jumped around the house when it said PREGNANT. She was so happy, but then the next day, she started crying again and couldn't stop. I was really afraid for her and the baby, so I took her to the hospital and they checked her out to make sure everything was okay. The minute those two little babies popped up the screen, she stopped crying. I want to say she was in shock, but she went back to being her happy self after that. She did not stop looking at the ultrasound pictures for days. I think the babies made her feel hope and love again. One day I came home and all her things were packed and she was ready to leave. Then she thought it would be better if she surprised you with a trip here instead. She was very torn whether or not to tell you about the babies, but I thought she should surprise you, so she did. Then you called on the phone that day and she set her plan into motion. And here you are"
"Wow" was all Grissom could say. He was shocked how much pain and joy Sara had gone through without him there. He wished he could have been there to comfort her, but he was glad she had someone like Emma there to help.
"You are a really great person Emma. I am glad you were here for her in her time of need. She is an incredibly strong person, but I know that she couldn't have done it without you"
Grissom pulled Emma into a hug and whispered a quiet 'Thank You' in her ear.
This is how Sara found them
"Gilbert, I'm gone for 5 minutes and you already replaced me, how rude"
Letting go of Emma, Grissom says, "No honey, it was nothing like that, Emma was just telling me all the stuff she did for you over the last 4 months and I just had to thank her. You have a great friend Sara."
With her arms crossed over her chest, Sara slowly walked over to Grissom.
"Okay, I believe you, but it won't happen again, right?"
"No, of course not dear" said Grissom.
"Nope, we are hands off from now on" said Emma.
"That's what I thought" said Sara.
Dropping her arms from her chest, she grabbed Grissom's face and brought him into a very passionate, very awkward kiss.
"Umm, Sara, I'm still here" squeaked Emma.
Releasing her grasp on Grissom, they separated, breathlessly. "Sorry, I was just trying to get a point across" laughed Sara.
"So you guys were talking about me?" asked Sara.
"Yes we were. Nothing important though. Just the basics" answered Emma.
"Oh okay. Well I know you must be tired Emma because you worked a double, why don't you go get some rest and we will see you later?" said Sara.
"Yeah actually I am a little tired and I am sure you guys want a little alone time so I will head up to my room. See you guys later."
Emma left the room with a smile and headed off to bed.
"So, what do you want to do tonight? Do you still want to talk?" questioned Sara.
"Yes I still want to talk, but not tonight. What do you suggest?"
"How about dinner, dancing, and a walk on the beach?"
"Hmm, that's sounds good. You know I don't dance, but tonight I am feeling a little adventurous, and being able to hold you would be nice"
"I know the perfect place, it is a nice restaurant on the water, and it is fancy, so I'll wear 'the dress' if it still fits."
"That sounds perfect dear. What time do you want to go?"
"Well it is 4:30 now. How about 6, it only takes 15 minutes to get there. I can call and make reservations" answered Sara.
"This is perfect, honey. We haven't been on a real date in a while. I love you" said Grissom, as he leaned forward for a kiss.
Sara granted him the kiss and they headed for the bedroom to get ready.
"Okay honey, moment of truth, where is the dress?" yelled Sara from the bathroom.
"Right here, babe" answered Grissom, pulling the piece of navy blue silk from his suit bag.
Sara, dressed in a navy blue bra and matching panties, exited the bathroom to see Grissom buck-naked, holding up the dress.
"That is a site I never get tired of"
Blushing, Grissom tried to cover up, but it was no use. Sara had crossed the room in three steps and was currently pushing her tongue inside his mouth.
Their moans swirled around the room until Grissom pulled away.
"Baby, we're going to be late if you keep doing that" said Grissom.
Frowning, Sara grabbed the dress and stepped into it. She pulled in over her knees, her hips, her expanded stomach, her chest, and then slipped it over her arms.
"Zip me up, dear?" she asked, holding up her hair.
"Of course" he answered and slowly zipped up the dress.
"Yes, it still fits" said Sara.
She slowly turned around, showing Grissom the dress. He damn near had a brain aneurysm seeing it. Stunning was the only word that came to mind.
"So to say you like it would be an understatement, right?"
He just nodded.
"Good, now get dressed and wait for me in the living room"
Sara entered the bathroom again and closed the door. She brushed her hair and put it up in a small clip. She let most of it hang down because she knew Grissom loved her curls. She then applied a pale pink blush, not wanting to hide her freckles, and a light pink lip gloss. She exited the bathroom, put on some shoes, and headed towards Grissom in the living room.
His back was towards me, but I knew he looked sexy already. He was wearing my favorite suit and I can already feel the tingling in my lower belly. This was going to be a long night.
Turning around, I could finally see all of him. Light blue dress shirt, the navy blue tie I sent him, and his eyes, his gorgeously highlighted blue eyes. I wanted him now, but I don't want to ruin our date. I can wait.
I turn when I hear her enter the room. She is absolutely stunning. Her hair is pulled back, but most of it is on her shoulders, her face is glowing with just the right amount of makeup, her body is covering with navy blue silk and she takes my breathe away. I think being pregnant suits her well. She has always been gorgeous to me, but now there is an extra something that makes her even more beautiful.
I feel a tingling south of the border, but I shake it off, I don't want to ruin our date before it even starts. I reach down to make sure the small box is still in my pocket. I adjust it and pray Sara doesn't see it. This is going to be a long night.
"You look stunning Sara"
"As do you Dr. Grissom"
"Ready?"
"Always"
Grissom loops his arm in Sara's and escorts her to the car. They drive off into sunset, hand in hand; ready to dance the night away.
A/N: Okay so this chapter ran a little longer than planned so I didn't cover everything I was wanted to. Next chapter will cover "the date" and will have a song to go along with it. Please leave some reviews so I actually want to write the next chapter!! Thanks for reading.
