"Are you sure?"

She nodded slowly. "Is the offer still open?"

He looked into her face. "Sara, darling, the offer will always be open. I don't want to make you rush into something you're not 100 ready for."

She looked back into his face. "Gil, I'm ready." She said lightly touching his cheek with her hand.

Grissom looked into her face even more intently, after a moment he seemed to reach a decision. He looked deeply into her eyes.

He climbed smoothly out of bed, reached into his bedside drawer and pulled out a red velvet. ring box. He knelt on one knee on the floor next to the bed, waited for Sara to roll closer to him. He bent down onto one knee and held the closed ring box out and began speaking, his voice carrying all the love he felt for her.

"Sara, my love, my darling, my only one. I love you more than should be physically possible. I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy. I want to grow old with you. Raise our children together. Love you forever, and prove to the world that I love you. I want to promise in front of everyone to love you, cherish you, honour you. I want to spend every day of my life trying to make you the happiest woman in the world. I love you Sara. Will you marry me?"

She nodded fervently, unable to speak, tears began trickling down her face. Her eyes widened as Gil flipped open the ring box. She stared at him, a smile on her face until she found her voice.

"Yes Gil, I will. I'll marry you." Gil's face erupted into a smile. She moved to sit at the edge of the bed. Grissom took the ring out of the box, placed the box on the floor next to him and slipped the ring onto her finger.

Sara jumped off the bed and pulled him to her in a tight hug as she pulled him up to standing. She kissed him gently. Her kiss and embrace showing everything she wanted to tell him but couldn't find the words for. As she pulled back she seemed to find words, even if they came nowhere near to what she wanted to say. "I love you too Gil. And ... thank you." She finished softly.

He pulled her back into his embrace and smiled again as she leant her head onto his shoulder, holding him close. One of his hands idly stroked her hair while the other held her close. He kissed the top of her head before laying his cheek there. "I wish I could stay here like this forever. He muttered quietly under his breath, Sara didn't hear what he said, but she didn't need to, she had just said the exact same thing to herself.

Sara didn't know how they got out of the hug that neither had wanted to end, she didn't know if she had moved, or if he had pulled back slightly, all she knew right now was that looking in his eyes and seeing the love there she wanted him. She watched his eyes become thoughtful and then attracted, the love never leaving them. She leant in and kissed him slowly and passionately, strengthening the kiss at a pace that was almost painfully slow for Grissom.

She slowly backed him up to the bed and then laid him on it. As the kiss intensified even more Sara managed to get some form of thought together and pulled back a little bit. She looked down at him for a moment before speaking.

"Protection?"

"Shit" Grissom cursed under his breath before replying to her.

"Don't have any in. There's rarely need for it, and we haven't needed it recently."

She looked down sternly. "Gil. The need for it is apparent if you walk into the other room."

"Yeah, but aren't you glad we were in too much of a rush that night?" She laid down next to him and rested her head on his chest, all ideas now abandoned.

"Wouldn't have traded it for the world." She breathed. His hand stroked her hair as he replied.

"I'll go to the pharmacy later. I'll make it up to you then."

She leaned up until she rested on her elbows and was looking directly at him. "Gil you will be making it up to me for much longer than till tomorrow. It might even take months to make up for this."

"I guess I better stock up well then when I go down tomorrow." She laughed and kissed him lightly before laying down again.

"We needed to sleep anyway." She muttered quietly as she began to drift off. He kissed the top of her head and was soon asleep as well.

"Oh my god!" Catherine squealed as Sara opened the door to her.

"Hi Catherine. What's up? Why are you screaming now? We haven't even told you their names yet."

"I'm not looking at the baby you're carrying you doofus. I'm looking at the hand which is holding her." Sara glanced the other way as she realised that she was carrying Ella on her hip and supporting her with her left arm. The hand which had the engagement ring on. Grissom entered and saw that Catherine had arrived.

"Hey Cath." He called from inside the house. "Do you want a drink?" At this point he noticed Catherine astounded smile and triumphant grin and Sara looking the other way. He also saw Catherine's eyes continually darting between him, Sara and Sara's hand.

He looked at Sara. "There are some problems with your friends been in the best CSI team in the country aren't there? You hardly ever get to break good news before at least one of them has found out first." He commented to her. He then looked back at Catherine who was now looking at him curiously for seeming so open, so confident, so relaxed. She had no doubt it was Sara's doing. "Come on in the Cath. We'll tell you what you want to know then."

He looked back at Sara and Catherine saw the love fill his eyes as he looked at her. She was again taken aback by how open he was been. "Sara honey, did you want tea, coffee or juice this morning?"

Sorry it's a bit short and a bit disjointed. Was writing on paper and generally shorter on there because my brain works faster than my hand and so I have to slow down and forget what I was trying to say.

Enjoy anyway
