CHAPTER 14
Grissom took Sara's hand and slowly worked the ring onto her finger. He looked at her and gently kissed her.
"Do you want to tell the guys?" he asked with a smile.
"No, sleep now."
"Okay," he smiled, hugging her to him and placing a kiss on her hairline. They were quickly asleep.
Greg had explained to them how Sara and Grissom had been seeing each other (Catherine was quite angry that Greg had kept this from them) and the phone call that he had gotten from Terri. None of them thought that Grissom would cheat on Sara, but you cannot change the evidence.
Catherine was extremely tired from the day of skiing, and just wanted to sleep. Heading up to her room she opened the door and flicked on the lights, seeing not one, but two sleeping forms. Being too tired to fight, she turned off the lights and headed towards Grissom's bedroom, getting under the covers and falling asleep.
Nobody could predict those two.
Sara woke up to everything silent. She looked over at Grissom. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep. She looked down at her hand and smiled at the beautiful ring there.
She got up and opened the door quietly and snuck over to the bathroom. Once she was finished, she opened the door to find Grissom standing there.
She smiled her 'Sara Smile' at him, making him smile back. He opened his arms and she slid into them, planting a quick kiss on his lips before closing her eyes and just feeling his arms around her.
Catherine cleared her throat, making the two of them look over at her.
Sara jumped back, so used to previous rules. Grissom reached out to her and pulled her back to him.
"Catherine," he said.
"So, I guess you guys figured it out?" Catherine had her hands on her hips.
"Yeah," smiled Grissom.
"Well than can I have my room back?"
"Go ahead, I'll just have to get Sara's bags," Grissom let go of Sara and went into the room.
Sara stood there awkwardly, looking everywhere except at Catherine.
Catherine let her stand there until she took a step forward and hugged her, whispering in her ear, "He finally got his head out of the microscope huh?"
Sara nodded and Catherine stepped back.
"Now, if you'll excuse me I must go to the bathroom."
Sara smiled and got out of the way. By then Grissom was done and moved to hug Sara again before helping her downstairs. He fixed her what Greg would call a breakfast of champions including a granola bar, milk, chocolate chip cookies, and chips because it was the only food there. While they ate Warrick woke up noticed that he was not alone. Smiling, he walked over to Sara and kissed her head. She smiled up at him and he smiled back.
"Good luck, girl," he blinked at her.
"Thanks."
Grissom smiled at Warrick who smiled back and went upstairs to take a shower.
Nick was the next up and went over to Sara, still slightly glaring at Grissom. "Hey, Sara, how you doing?"
"Fine."
"Good, how's you foot?"
"Okay, but I still can't walk on it."
"Yeah, well, it happens," Nick walked over to the tv and turned it on, siting on Greg and causing him to wake up unhappily.
"Nick, man, get offa me!" He kept trying to push Nick off of him.
"Say please, Greggo," Nick smiled down to him.
"Please get your fat butt off of me Nick!" At that Nick complied and got up so that Greg could move before he sat down again. Greg picked up a bag of chips and started munching on them and watching tv, completely oblivious to the company in the room.
"How do you think Sara is?" Greg said through a mouthfull of chips.
"Why don't you ask her, she's sittin' behind ya?" Greg turned around and looked at Sara who in turn stared back at him.
"Hey Sara," he said after he had swallowed his mouthfull. "How are you?"
Grissom, who had gone into the kitchen with the dishes, can out now, and Greg gave him the dirtiest look he could muster.
"Fine," Sara said, and then noticed the dirty look he was giving Grissom.
"Greg," she said making Greg look back at her, "Leave him alone."
"But he hurt you!"
"Greg, everything is fine now. He never cheated on me!"
"But...the phone...and Teri?" Greg looked supremely confused.
"Teri from the jewelry store." Sara smiled.
"Why would Grissom go to a jewelry store?" Greg laughed. Sara lifted her left hand so that he could see the dazzling ring. He stopped laughing and said, "Damn! He's not playing is he?"
This caused Nick to look over his shoulder to see what the commotion was about. His eyes nearly popped out of his head. He got up and joined Greg. He whistled, "You could see that thing from a mile away!"
Warrick and Catherine came down the stairs and went over to the group. Catherine screamed and hugged Sara, looking at the three diamonds. "This thing is huge!"
Warrick hugged Sara from the back, tacking her hand and admiring the shining ring. "I'm happy for you girl, you deserve it" he whispered into her ear.
When everybody was done congradulating Sara and Grissom, Sara looked expectantly at the group, "Are we going skiing or what?"
As everybody went to go get ready, Grissom turned Sara around and gave her a big kiss. "I love you." she whispered. "I love you, too." he whispered back.
A/N- Hold on, it's not over yet!
