I Do Not Own CSI


"Hey Gil, could I, ah, have a word with you," Melissa asked as she came over to the large table that held the team while they ate their lunch.

Looking over at Sara, who gave a slight nod and smile, Gil replied,

"I guess, I'll be back in a few minutes, honey." He kissed her before following Melissa to a smaller table.

"I wonder what she wants," Nick asked.

"I don't know, Nick, I really don't," Sara said, following her husband and Melissa with her eyes, never losing sight of where they were.

"So," Gil said, sitting down at the tiny table for two.

"So, I ah, just wanted to apologize for last night."

"Really Melissa, there's no ne…"

"Yes, there is, I was just really surprised to find out that you married the woman you left me for. She, ah, must be pretty special to get the Great Gil Grissom to settle down and get married."

"She is. Look, Melissa, I know we parted on pretty bad terms and that was probably my fault," Gil said as he got an eyebrow raise from her.

"Ok, so a lot of it was my fault, but deep down inside, I know you know we weren't working out."

"I really didn't think we were that bad in the end. I mean, I knew we had to do the long distance thing a bit, but I thought we were ok. I guess I didn't realize that you no longer felt what I felt between us anymore."

"What exactly did you feel for me? I mean, we never really talked about what we were."

"I loved you, Gil, bugs and all. I still do, so help me, but I can see from the look in your eyes that you never felt the same thing for me," Melissa said with tears welling in her eyes.

"I'm not going to lie to you Melissa, I did have feelings for you but-"

"You didn't love me."

"I'm sorry"

"Please don't be, I can't make you feel things for me that you don't want to," she said, standing up.

"I'm sorry, Melissa."

"Really, Gil, stop saying that. I came to apologize for my behaviour last night, and I did. Go back to your wife and your team."

"Melissa," Gil asked before she left.

"We're ok, Gil, just let me digest this for awhile. We can talk some other time," she said leaving.

'I loved him with all I had and he never felt a single drop of love towards me. Over a year wasted on him. Payback is a bitch, Gil Grissom!' She thought as she left.

"Everything ok over there, Gil," Catherine asked as Gil came back to sit at the table.

"I have no idea. When is the next lecture?"

"About an hour," Jim replied.

"Want to go for a walk," Gil asked Sara.

"Sure, we'll see you guys there," Sara said, getting up and leaving with Gil.

"Why do I have the feeling that something is not right," Warrick asked.

"Because I don't think everything is, Rick," Greg said, watching as the couple, who were supposed to be enjoying their honeymoon, walked solemnly out of the cafeteria.

"Are you ok," Sara asked as they walked slowly hand in hand through the small garden outside.

"I feel bad."

"Why?"

"Because I just found out that she loved me and I never loved her back."

"Gil, you can't help it if you never felt the same way for her."

"I know that, but I still feel guilty."

"What else did she say?"

"She thought we were doing pretty well relationship wise when I ended it. I guess I completely blind sighted her when I broke it off."

"To be with me," Sara murmured.

"Yes, to be with you. The one person I have loved, the only person I will ever love," Gil said, stopping and making her face him.

"You're the only person I have felt this way about, Sara, and in no way is the reason Melissa and I broke up your fault."

"But maybe if we hadn't gone to dinner you might have felt-"

"Sara, stop. If we hadn't gone out to dinner, I could still be in a fruitless relationship and you could be married to some other guy. If we hadn't of gone out, we wouldn't be expecting two babies in eight months," He said, placing his hand on Sara's stomach.

"I know, it's just now I feel bad. I feel like the other woman."

"Sara, nothing inappropriate happened between us until after I broke it off with Melissa.

Granted, it was the next day, but we were all in the clear.

This has been kind of a crappy honeymoon, hasn't it?"

"It's not what I pictured, no," Sara said, playing with the buttons on Gil's shirt with a soft smile.

"What?"

"What time is it?"

"1:15, why?"

"Well, we have forty five minutes before the next class. What do you think about going upstairs to our room and having some fun?"

"I knew there was a reason I married you."

"There better be another reason besides that," Sara said with a smile as they walked back towards the elevators.

"Well, there is the fact that you are drop dead gorgeous," he said, making Sara blush.

"And that you have legs that go on forever. I always was a leg man," he continued, causing Sara to snicker out.

"So I've noticed."

"And," he said, turning her around in the elevator so that she was facing him. Tipping her face up with his fingers under her chin, Gil quietly spoke,

"You make my heart skip a beat every time you walk into the room. You are my life, Sara," he said, causing a tear to slip out of the corner of her eye as she smiled and the elevator opened.

"Ahhhemmm"

"Sorry," Sara and Gil replied, looking at the woman standing at the elevator doors.

"Hi Gil, Sara"

"Hi Melissa," they both replied as they all switched positions. Melissa got in and Sara and Gil got out of the elevator.

"That was not awkward at all," Sara muttered out as they made it to their room.

"Let's try not think about it and go and have some fun."


"OK guys, we're out of here, enjoy the rest of your honeymoon," Jim said as the team all stood at the entrance of the hotel. The team was waiting for their cab to take them to the airport.

"We will."

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Catherine called.

"That's not much, Cath," Gil retorted.

"My point, exactly. See you guys in a few days," she waved.

"Later"

"Bye"

"See you." Were all yelled as the team hopped into their waiting cab, leaving the newlyweds on their own.

"So Mrs. Grissom, what do you think we should do now that we're finally all by ourselves?"

"Sleep"

"Sleep?"

"I am wiped, honey, I need a nap."

"I guess a nap wouldn't hurt," Gil said, interlocking their hands as they walked through the hotel.


"Gil," Sara said, waking up three hours later.

"Hmmm," Gil replied as he was still mostly asleep.

"I'm just going to go downstairs and get a bag of chips or something from the gift shop."

"Want me to come with?"

"I think I can handle it on my own, stay here and sleep."

"M',kay. Love you"

"I love you, too, baby," Sara replied as she kissed him softly on the lips before leaving the room towards the elevators.

"Sara," was called out as she went into the elevator.

"Can you hold the elevator for me," Melissa said, coming to stand beside her.

'Time for a little of my own payback,' she thought, a sly smirk on her face.
