A/N Ok so I lied and finished it up! I CANNOT wait until next thurday!!!!! I love reviews, they help me in my writing!!
Grissom woke up that evening and rolled over. Sara wasn't there. He pulled himself to the edge of the bed to look for Sara on the floor; all he saw was a pair of slippers.
"Sara?"
"Gil?"
Grissom followed the voice into the bathroom, where he found Sara sitting against the vanity, looking sicker than ever.
"I feel horrible. She muttered, tears forming in her eyes.
Grissom walked over to the tub and starting filling it with cool water. He helped Sara out of her pajamas and walked her over to the tub and helped her get in. Sara sighed as the cool water poured over her body, and she laid her head on the bath pillow.
Grissom knelt down next to the tub and swirled his hand in the water.
"Is this ok? Need it warmer or colder?" He asked softly.
"This is perfect Gil, thank you." She smiled.
Grissom scooped some water in his hands and poured it in her hair. Sara closed her eyes and let out a soft sigh.
"Did you get more sleep today?" She asked as water drops slid down her hot cheeks.
"Yeah, I feel pretty ok." Gil smiled as he reached for the wash cloth hanging on the rack next to the tub.
"Good." Sara smiled.
Grissom wet the wash cloth and laid the cool cloth on Sara's forehead. He ran his wet fingers along her arms and collarbone, playing a game of connect the invisible dots.
"I love you Sar, you know that right?"
Sara opened her eyes and reached out her hand to grab his. "Of course I know, and I love you too."
"I know I have trouble showing it at times" He admitted.
"You're doing a really good job of it right now." Sara smiled.
"I have to tell you, it scares me a little."
"Why?"
"I suppose become it leaves me vulnerable to being hurt."
Sara looked at him with sympathetic eyes, she knew what he meant.
"But with you, the risk is worth it; and now, it doesn't even feel like a risk."
"It isn't a risk, I am not going anywhere" Sara said.
"I know, and I love the life we've built, and I love loving you."
"I think its ok that Jim knows." Sara said, seeing where he was headed.
Grissom smiled, he loved that she knew him so well now. "I think so too, he told me to tell you to feel better this morning. Having someone knows feels like a relief, like are an actual couple."
"You didn't feel that before?" Sara asked.
"I did, but I didn't... it feels real now."
Sara simply nodded and closed her eyes.
Grissom went back to pouring the cool water over her hot skin, happy to have Sara and to be sharing a moment like this with her.
"But we are NOT telling Catherine." Sara muttered.
All Grissom could do was laugh.
