Catherine POV:
It's about 10 minutes later when I glance up from where I'm sitting, to see Sara come through the door. She's got red puffy eyes and as I glance down I notice a red mark on her wrist. I immediately stand up, walk towards her and pull her into a tight embrace. My arms round her neck with her arms snaked round my waist. We stay there for a couple of minutes as she sobs into my shoulder, her whole body shaking. As she calms down I pull her over to the seat then sit her down, checking first that the door was closed, and then sit down next to her and entwining our fingers together.
'Babe, you going to tell me what happened?' With this I start caressing her wrist with my thumb.
'I didn't want him to find out like this. I wanted to tell him when I was ready but he was waiting for me when I got home. He asked me where I'd been and I lied and said that I went to the mall to find Lindsey a birthday present.' God, she's so caring, always thinking about Lindsey, always including her.
'So I'm guessing he didn't believe you?' I stroke a hair back from off her face as she looks down at the floor.
'He did at first, but then I got changed and I completely forgot about covering up. He noticed it straight away. He said he knew what it was then asked how long it had been going on, so I told him. Then he asked me who it was. And I told him. Then he told me to get out.' I see tears forming in her eyes again.
'Sar, I know it wasn't the best way for him to find out, but at least its out in the open. After shift, we'll go for breakfast, drop Lindsey off at school, then go to your place and grab some clothes. You're staying with me, no arguments. I love you Sara.'
'I love you too Cat. There's nothing I want more than to stay with you.' I give her a slow, satisfying kiss, then pull back to wipe the tears from her eyes.
'Come on, we better go and get our assignments. We'll face it together, ok?' She nods, and I pull her up as we walk down the corridor to the break room. As we enter, we let each other and go and sit down on the sofa next to each other. Grissom is already there.
'You're both late.' He says firmly, staring at the both of us. 'You were supposed to be here five minutes ago.'
I shoot him a look. 'I had more important things going on.' I snap this back. He hands out assignments, I'm with Nick – 419 on the Strip, Sara is with Warrick on a B & E and Greg is paired with Gil. I feel sorry for Greggo tonight.
'Catherine, Sara before you go I want to see you in my office.' Grissom says as he exits. I look back at Sara and give her nod – letting her know it will be ok if we stick together.
Then Warrick pipes up, 'What's going on between you and Gil, Sara? I could cut the tension in here with a knife.'
'Ok guys, as we're all together. Gil and I split up last night, after he found out that I'd been seeing someone else. Obviously he didn't take it well and he chucked me out. That's why there's tension. Oh, and the person I've been seeing is Catherine.'
Suddenly three heads snap towards me. I just look at Sara with my mouth open, not expecting her to be so straight with them. Then as I look at them, I see Warrick and Greg hand over 20 each to Nick
'You put a bet on us being together?' I can't believe this; Nick thought something was going on. I give Nick my best glare.
'What can I say? I've always thought there was something between you. The arguments, for one thing. Just as long as you both are happy. That's all I care about.' Warrick and Greg nod at this.
'We are Nick, we are.' Sara says as she grabs my hand, Warrick gives us a sympathetic smile and a pat on our shoulders as we exit the break room towards Gil's office.
