Taking the Step
Sara was just finishing putting on her dress when there was a knock on the door. Cath went over to it and answered it, there were no words exchanged as who was at the door was let in. A tall older woman came in and Cath proceeded to introduce her.
Sara was both surprised and stunned to be face to face with Grissom's mom. She looked up at Cath and asked, "How?"
"I didn't want Grissom to get married without his mother and called her last night after we had our little meeting." Cath supplied.
Sara walked up to Elisabeth and gave her a hug before signing and asking, "how are you?" It was Cath's turn to be surprised, she had no idea the two women knew each other. Sara and Elisabeth both laughed at the look on Cath's face before Sara explained.
"When Gil and I first met in San Francisco the three of us had dinner together one night. We became instant friends and have kept in touch ever since."
Cath still looked a bit astonished as she began to help Sara with the finishing touches. Elisabeth looked on with misty eyes.
/What's wrong?/ Sara asked, signing to her.
/I can't believe it's finally happening/ she replied back.
/neither do I/ Sara signed back.
The two of them shared an embrace before Cath asked them if they were ready. They each wiped the tears from their eyes and nodded their heads. Cath called the guys to make sure they were already at the church and then they headed out.
The church was just the right size for a small wedding. Cath led Sara and Elisabeth into the church and Sara gasped when she saw who was waiting just inside the door for her, bouquet in hand. She ran up to Brass and gave him a giant hug while Cath led Grissom's mom into the church.
"Oh Brass, I'm so glad you're here!" Sara exclaimed as she continued to hug him. He smiled down at her.
"Did you really think I would let you get married without me giving you away?" he said to her. She swiped at the tear that had escaped and hugged him again.
Grissom was surprised to see Cath escorting his mother into the church. He had the same reaction as Sara, "What…How?" was all he could get out.
Both Cath and Elisabeth shared a laugh and a knowing look before Cath headed back out with Warrick in tow.
The ceremony was beautiful and it was more than evident that the two getting married were very much in love with each other as they exchanged vows and when they were pronounced man and wife the church was filled with woops and yells from the guys.
The Father congratulated them and then blessed them in their journeys before they left as Mr. and Mrs. Grissom.
