Chapter 13: Could his evening get any better?

When Sara and Grissom woke up the next morning they went about the morning as they usually did, with the exception of Grissom not leaving for the lab like Sara, so he was packing their bags for a trip he had not planned, but was very excited about. Then around lunch time, Grissom came to the lab in a cab, and Sara told Kevin, which he was not surprised, that he would be in charge the next few days before leaving with her husband so they could go to the airport and board a plane for Cleveland, Ohio since that's where the Cubs will be playing the last two, or one,
game(s) at.

Once they finally arrived there, they rented a vehicle, got set up in a motel before doing a little sight seeing, well mainly finding their way to the stadium so they would be prepared for tomorrow, then when it was dinner time, they ate while enjoying a movie, then they watched a couple more before calling it a night, just wanting to enjoy a night in together.

The next morning they had breakfast and did a little more sight seeing before going to the stadium an hour and a half before it started, and once it did, but unlike game 5, the Cubs took a commanding lead early and never let it go, making it to where they have to play a game 7; the deciding game on who will be crowned champions in the end.


Grissom, who hadn't slept much the night before because he was so excited for today, woke up that morning to the sound of his wife getting sick in the bathroom, making him frown, and was about to get out of bed when he saw Sara walk into the room with a shy look. "I'm sorry, I know you didn't sleep well last night."

He shook that off and got out of bed before walking up to her and cupping her cheek. "Don't worry about that, I'm worried about you, maybe we should..."

Sara cuts him off and shook her head as she headed back to the bed. "Oh no, I'm not missing the game, and there is no way I'm making you miss it either. Besides, we have plenty of time before the game starts, I could be alright by then."

He paused for a second before nodding, but with a still concerned look on his face. "Ok, but if you don't feel any better or get worse, we are staying here, no arguments."

As much as he would love to watch his favorite team win the world Series, if they do of course, in person, his wife's health was more important to him, and he would do anything, even miss the biggest game of the year, for her. Which she knew that, so she was going to do everything in her power to not let that happen.

She nodded before speaking after clearing her throat. "In the meantime though, I think I'm going to get a few things a the store that might help."

He shook his head as he walked towards his suitcase to change clothes. "No, it's ok, let me do it. Just tell me what you need."

He was stopped a second later as she took his hand and gave him a smile before cupping his cheek. "You don't have to do that." He was about to speak, but she continued before he could. "Besides, I could use the fresh air."

After a short pause, he nodded with a smile. "Ok."

She smiled in return and they kissed lightly before Sara finished getting ready while Grissom sat on the bed, but he was still concerned about his wife. In fact he had been that way throughout the rest of the morning and afternoon, but when it was time for them to head to the game, and her sickness hadn't showed any signs of getting worse, he became a lot calmer, well when it came to his wife's health that is, the game did nothing to calm his nerves, it was close throughout, even going into extra innings with a tie and a 17 minute rain delay.

Then it finally happened, after years of heartbreak for the long time Cubs fans, they sealed their victory in the 10th, and their fans, including Grissom, cheered likes they never cheered before, and Sara enjoyed watching all the happy faces, especially her husband's.

After awhile, when Sara and Grissom could actually walk towards the exit, Grissom had to use the restroom, so Sara took that time to go to the gift shop, which wasn't that far, and bought a couple of items before they left the stadium and headed for a diner so they could eat before they retired to their motel room for one more night before they head home tomorrow.

While they were eating their meal, it was mostly quiet, which Sara would contribute that to still being a little shocked on what just happened, and she was ok with that. Then when they made back to their room, Sara finally asked him with a smile. "I guess I don't really have to ask this, but how are you feeling?"

He smiled brightly as he wrapped his arms around his wife's waist. "Amazing. There is nothing, outside of getting married to you." She was about to open her mouth and ask which time, but he places his finger to her lips and continued with his eyes sparkling. "Both times." She nodded with a slight chuckle as he finished after a sigh. "That's made me feel this much joy and excitement. I don't think it could get any better tonight, this is a perfect ending of our day."

Sara raised an eyebrow as she smirked. "Really? There isn't any other way you would like to end your day?"

He brought her a little closer to him and whispered. "Well, I guess there could be an alternative ending, if it's something you really want."

She wrapped her arms around his neck before sharing a few passionate kisses, and they place their foreheads together when they needed air before she whispered a few seconds later. "I believe I can make your evening even better."

He pulled his head back so he could look into her eyes as he cupped her cheek. "I have no doubt there."

Before he could bring her in for another kiss, she turns them around so his back was towards the bed and said softly. "Sit, please."

He sat at the end of the bed without a word, then he watched her walk towards the table, where two gift bags were at, and she grabbed the smaller one before walking towards him again, stopping in front of him and holding the bag out with a smile. "Here."

He raised an eyebrow, but took it without saying a word, then when he opened it up and pulled out a Chicago Cubs baby sized onesie, he didn't say a word for a different reason, he couldn't, he was truly speechless, and when he looked up to her, he was in tears, shaking his head in almost disbelief.

But she was nodding her head with tears in her eyes. "Yes, it's true, it's finally happening for us, it's finally our time."

He sets the gift to the side and reached for her, which she came willingly and he wrapped his arms around her waist before laying his cheek against her stomach and started crying, truly, deeply crying, an act Sara had only witnessed a few times since they've been together. And she just let him while she ran her fingers through his hair.

When he was calm enough to actually speak, at least a little, he pulled back and looked up at her. "When did you..."

She cuts him off as she sat down next to him with one of his arms still around her. "Find out?" He nodded before she continued after clearing her throat. "This afternoon, I took a test."

He looked confused. "But ho..."

Once again she cuts him off. "I got the test this morning when I went out, and took it while you went to get us some lunch." He nodded in understanding before she continued. "My sickness this morning didn't feel anything that I ever had before, so I was curious and wanted to see if I was right. Plus, I believe I had a few other symptoms the last few weeks, but I just thought it was stress. I guess it turns out it wasn't."

He now looked a little sad. "You didn't tell me any of this."

She squeezed his hand and spoke softly. "I know, and I feel bad that we didn't get to enjoy seeing the results together, but if it had been another negative result and it was just the flu and stress, I couldn't bear to see you disappointed. I hope you aren't too upset with me."

He shook his head and cupped her cheek with tears in his eyes again. "I'm not, I'm just glad that I get to enjoy all the rest of the other moments."

She smirked a little, but she was very serious when she replied. "Well, I couldn't have hid it, even if I wanted too." Then she finished as she took his hand and placed it on her stomach while she placed her hand on top of his. "And I would never want to, I want to share every moment with you."

He leaned over and kissed her temple before whispering as he placed his forehead against her head. "And you will. I love you and thank you for making this day, outside of our wedding, the best day of my life."

She smiled as she slipped her fingers through his. "You mean making it even better than it was before."

He pulled his had back and looked into her eyes. "While watching my team win the biggest game of their lives was a wonderful experience, and I'll admit, a dream come true, you telling me that I'm going to be a father, is a better feeling and the biggest dream come true, so when I think of this day, my first thought won't be the Cubs winning the World Series, it will always be remembered as the day the love of my life, my wife, my best friend, my everything, told me we are going to have a baby."

Sara let a few tears go down her cheek at his words, and he starts to wipe them away as she whispered. "I love you too."

He smiled in return with his eyes sparking as he leaned towards her before they shard a loving and deep kiss, and when thy pulled back, they placed their foreheads together as their hands went back to her stomach, both cherishing their first moments with their unborn baby, and neither on couldn't wait to see their little miracle grow big and strong before he or she joined them into this world.
