A/N: Sorry it took so long to update again. I've been really busy with school, but since I started Winter Break today I should be able to get another chapter done soon. This chapter ran a little long again, so hopefully next chapter the Geeks will make it back to Las Vegas. I realized this chapter how OOC the "Geeks" are and I am sorry if you don't like that. Leave reviews anyways, let me know how I am doing! Thanks for reading!
Arriving at the restaurant, Grissom was shocked at how perfect the place was.
The restaurant had an elegant dining room with a decent sized dance floor in the middle and one outdoor table overlooking the water.
Grissom was silently hoping for the table outside and was pleasantly surprised when the hostess opened the door leading there.
Sara whispered in his ear, "One of Emma's neighbors is the chef here, so he hooked us up."
The hostess seated them and Grissom ordered a bottle of sparkling cider for the two of them. He knew they shared a love of fine wines, but since she couldn't drink it, neither would he.
They both ordered their meals and were left in silence on the patio of the restaurant.
"That is one amazing view" pondered Sara.
"Yes it is, but its beauty doesn't compare to you"
"Honey, stop trying to flatter me, you are still going to get lucky when we get home"
"Oh really, huh, you think I say all these nice things to get in your pants?" Grissom joked. "I really do mean those things, baby, I love you"
"I love you too. And I love when you compliment me, it makes me feel special"
Sara leaned in over the table in an attempt to kiss him, but her stomach got in the way and she was stopped from doing so.
Seeing this, Grissom got up from the table and leaned down to capture her lips.
Engulfed in the kiss, they didn't hear the waiter arrive with the food until he cleared his throat.
"Oh, um, sorry about that" mumbled Grissom, wiping his mouth on the back of his sleeve.
"It's okay Mr. Grissom, not the first time it's happen"
After placing the plates on the table, the waiter left.
That's when they finally caught either others gaze
"We have got to stop doing that" said Sara.
"Hmm, I don't mind it too much. It is nice to be able to show my love in public without worrying whose watching."
"Yeah I guess you have a point there babe" answered Sara. "Now eat up because you have a long night ahead of you."
After the meal, Grissom was able to slip away to "use the restroom." Little did Sara know what he had in store?
Grissom slipped a twenty and the name of a song to the DJ and asked him to play it when he came back with Sara.
Grissom checked his pocket again and stepped out onto the patio.
Strolling over to her he asked "Would you give me this dance?"
"I would be honor" she answered.
Grissom slowly helped Sara up from her chair and they made their way to the dance floor.
There were two other couples dancing when they reached the floor, but it was big enough for all of them.
As the song came to an end, the two other couples left the floor leaving them alone.
"Gil, honey, we are the only one's dancing, this is too embarrassing, I can't do it" she whispered.
"It's okay, just listen to the music and close your eyes. Nobody's watching. I promise"
"Alright, I trust you" Sara snuggled closer to Grissom and laid her head in the crook of his neck.
The music started.
We've only known each other since the moment we met
But it seems like forever to me
I haven't figured out the perfect way to say it yet
But I suppose at times like these
A man should get down on his knees
How'd ya like to be in my wedding
How'd ya like to walk down the aisle
You could be the center of attention
Everyone would look at you and smile
We could send our friends invitations
You could wear a long white dress
If you'd like to be in my wedding, darlin'
All ya have to do is say, "Yes"
At this point Sara had shifted in his arms and gave him a sideways glance. Grissom just shrugged his shoulders like nothing was going on.
She laid her head back on his shoulders and they continued to sway.
Your folks could be seated in the very front row
And cry when we all turn to look at you
We could cut the cake
And we could strike a pose
Like the little bitty plastic bride and groom
And then begin our life-long honeymoon
"Sara, look at me" asked Grissom. "Listen to this chorus for me again"
"Okay?"
How'd ya like to be in my wedding
How'd ya like to walk down the aisle
You could be the center of attention
Everyone would look at you and smile
We could send our friends invitations
You could wear a long white dress
If you'd like to be in my wedding, darlin'
All ya have to do is say, "Yes"
"Sara, I know the first time I did this, I didn't have a ring, we were in full bee-suit armor, and you got stung by a bee, so I am going to try to do this right the second time."
Grissom let go of Sara and reached for the ring in his pocket.
Getting down one knee he asked, "Sara Sidle, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"
As Sara looked down at Grissom, she wasn't able to hold back her tears.
"Yes Gilbert, I would be honored to marry you"
Grissom slipped the ring on her finger and the whole restaurant broke into applause.
He stood with protest from his knees, but he could have cared less as he pulled Sara into him giving her a tender, loving kiss.
He pulled away and gently wiped her tears with the pads of his thumbs.
With another peck on the lips, they headed back out on to the patio to order dessert.
"I can't believe you Gil. This was the biggest surprise ever"
"I know you said you don't believe in tradition, but I want everyone to know you are mine."
Looking at the ring, Sara said, "I think I am going to throw every other belief I have out the window, because I was definitely wrong about this one. I never knew why women were always so happy to get an engagement ring, but now I know. It is the most amazing feeling in the world, almost as amazing as being pregnant"
"You deserve all of it Sara. You are truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. Thank you for making my dreams reality each and every day."
"Come here Gilbert" she said as she stood with open arms.
He slowly got up and walked straight into her arms.
If this is a dream, I never want to wake up.
Little did they know they had the same exact thought?
After Sara finished her cheesecake and half of Grissom's chocolate cake, she excused herself to the restroom.
Grissom then had time to reflect.
I can't believe I finally did it. I actually proposed, with a ring, to Sara Sidle, the love of my life and the mother of my children.
She is so amazing, she deserves it. I have never been so happy. I wish I could wipe this stupid smile off my face.
Meanwhile in the bathroom, Sara stood at the sink, looking at her reflection in the mirror.
Gil Grissom, father of the two babies inside of you, just proposed in a crowded restaurant to some song you have never hear before, but now can get out of your head.
If you thought your life was good at any point before this, you were wrong. Your life is great right now and it is only about to get better. You are getting married, Sara, and you are going to bring two babies into the world in less than 4 months. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
Sara was finding it hard to hold back the tears, but she managed to.
She was ready for the long walk on the beach with her twice proposed-fiancée.
Grissom and Sara slowly strolled along the shoreline. The only sound was the waves crashing upon the shore. They continued walking until neither could take another step.
Grissom collapsed onto the sand and pulled Sara down with him. She laid quietly on top of him for what seemed like hours. His hand was rubbing light circles up and down her back, but as the time passed the circles started moving lower. She took this as a sign and lifted her head. She descended on his lips so quickly he didn't even have a chance to protest.
They laid there necking until Sara's phone cut in.
"Hello?"
"It's Emma; it is almost one in the morning. I was just making sure you guys are okay."
"Seriously, one in the morning? We should be home soon, I guess we lost track of time. See you soon Emma, Thanks"
"Bye"
"Come on Gilbert, we need to get home, it is really late."
"Yeah I heard, one in the morning" he smiled. "This was really great, Sara. I have to say it is up there in the top 3 of my best days ever."
They got up, brushed the sand from their clothes, and started walking back.
"What were the other two days?"
"Hmm, the day I met you and the day I found out you were having my babies."
"Those seem like some pretty great days if you ask me" she laughed.
"I love you" he said as he kissed her cheek.
Getting back to the parking lot, they found that only their car was still there. They just laughed and drove home.
This was a night they would not soon forget.
