Chapter 8: A decision is made

As Grissom was standing there looking into her eyes after he asked that question his heart was pounding, he really did understand she was torn of this decision because if she was pregnant with another man's child he would admit it would be very hard to accept, just like what she is going through. But he would also like to think that he would learn to accept it because he loved her very much and nothing should get in the way of that. He hoped she felt the same way, but either way he had to know were to go from here. He saw a tear leave the corner of her eye and he swipes his thumb over it to wipe it away.

Sara feels Grissom's thumb wipe away her tear then she concentrates on his blue eyes and sees how scared he is of her answer but she could also see the love that he had for her and knew that would never change, of course he was going to love his little girl he wouldn't have been the man she thought he was if he would have just turned his back on his child and she would have never asked him to do that, no matter what she was feeling. As she continued to look at him a strong feeling of unconditional love shoots through her. And with that last thought/feeling she made her final decision.

She puts her hand on his cheek, rubs her thumb up down, looks deep into his blue eyes and said. "Do you really think I could walk away so easily from you?"

Grissom eyes brightened and she couldn't help but show a little smile but he still had to ask to be sure. "You sure?"

She nods with tears in her eyes and answered. "You're right it's not going to be easy, especially in the beginning but we will really work on it this time. I am with you all the way because I really do love you and when you love somebody you stick together though the difficult times."

Grissom does that little half-smile that he does sometimes, he hasn't felt this good since the day before his world completely changed because he was always afraid Sara would leave but now that he knows she will be sticking around it warmed him from head to toe.

Grissom's smile made Sara smile back because she loved that look then they moved closer to one another and wrapped each other in their arms and as their lips were moving toward each other he said. "I love you Sara and thank you."

Their lips crashed into each other and before they ran out of air they pulled their heads back, looked into each other's eyes and knew were this was headed. They communicated with their eyes and he asked if she was sure, she nodded, took his hand and lead him to the bedroom. They kissed softly one more time then closed the door behind them.

Three months later

The alarm goes off on Grissom's side of the bed so after he wakes up he reaches for it, turns it off then turns around back in bed, wraps his arms around Sara from behind, kissed her head and whispered. "Honey time to get up."

She groaned as she stretched, turned in his arms and opens her eyes.

They look into each other's eyes as he puts a hand on her cheek and asked. "You sleep ok?"

She smiled, takes his hand off her cheek, kissed his palm, looks back into his eyes and replied. "I did, thank you." He nodded with a smile for a few minutes then sighed and she asked. "What's wrong?"

He swallowed and replied. "Alice has her last appointment before the birth of the baby tomorrow morning at a 11, I have to be there. Do you want to come?" He didn't want to keep anything from her.

Since they had gotten back together things have become better, of course she wasn't fully ok about it but she was a lot better than when she first found out.

Sara thinks about it for a few minutes then clears her throat, nodded her head and said. "Ok."

He puts his hand back on her cheek and started to speak with a hint of concern. "Sara..."

She cuts him off. "Griss, I'm ok. I have to accept this is our reality now, it's happening and we can't change it and since I know being without you hurts more than anything we have to go through right now, I'm here supporting you all the way. No more looking back. Alright?"

He nodded and when they looked into each other's eyes again they see the love and devotion in them then he leans down and kisses her on the lips, it was supposed to be short but they extended it to a passionate one then they pulled back a little breathless, he puts his forehead to hers and they close their eyes enjoying this calmness and closeness.

He pulls back a few minutes later, kissed her on the forehead, looks back into her eyes and said. "You are amazing."

She smiles and replied. "And don't you forget it."

He smiles back and responded in all seriousness. "I won't." She smirks then he continued. "Now why don't you jump in the shower while I'll make you something to eat before shift."

She agreed with that and after one more kiss they parted ways and did their own tasks.

By the time she got done with the shower and in a new pair of clothes, eating and he got done with his shower and in a new pair of clothes it was 40 minutes later and they were headed to work.

Once the team was in the break room Catherine walks in holding the assignment sheets and she does a double take when she noticed Grissom was sitting at the table along with them.

She smiles and said with a smirk. "I see you are on time."

He smiled back and replied. "Hey, I have been getting a little better at that."

In the past he was always late coming into the break room to hand out assignments or evaluations and since he has been back it almost looked like the same deal but he had been getting better at being in the break room on time these past few months. Also since Sara and Grissom got back together the team dynamic was better than ever.

Catherine nodded and responded. "Yes you have, my apologize."

Grissom nodded with another smile and speaks again. "And might I say you have done an excellent job at being the boss."

Catherine smiled at the comment and Greg snickered then got into the conversation. "What a way to get out of decomps, Griss."

Grissom looked at Greg with a raised eyebrow and before any other words were said between them, Catherine turns toward Greg and speaks. "And sorry Greg as the last man to be hired as a CSI I have a decomp just for you." The rest of them snickered and Greg sighed then groaned as he grabbed the assignment sheet but without a verbal complaint, knowing that's how it works sometimes.

Catherine turned to the rest of her team and assigned Nick and Sara together, Warrick was working with her and Grissom got a case that was bug infected, his specialty.

When all the assignment sheets were handed out she told them to be safe and get to work then walked out of the room, which Greg and Warrick followed a few seconds later.

Nick looks at Sara and said. "I'll met you at the vehicle." Sara nodded and Nick left the room.

Sara and Grissom look at each other and she said. "Be safe."

He smiled and replied. "Always, You too and I'll see you after shift." She nodded at him and after one more long look and a smile she left the room then a couple of minutes later he left too.

Towards the end of shift

When Sara and Nick came back from PD after getting the suspect from their case they saw Alice sitting in the reception area, the team have seen her a few times but only from afar so Nick knew what she looked like. Nick looks at Sara a little worried and she gives him a small smile and said. "It's ok."

"You sure you don't need me to stay?"

Sara shook her head and replied. "No if she is going to be in my life then I guess I have to get use to her, right?"

He looks at her with sympathy then nodded, patted her shoulder and replied. "Ok but if you need me you know how to reach me."

She smiled and responded. "I know."

After another nod and a smile Nick walked past Alice with a short nod.

Sara took a breath, cleared her throat and walked up to the chair that Alice was sitting in.

Alice sees Sara walking up to her so she stands up, which was a little hard to do because of her pregnancy being in the later months.

They politely smiled at each other and Sara said. "Hi Alice."

"Hi, Sara."

"I thought your appointment wasn't until 11?"

Alice sighed and replied. "It got moved to 8 and I haven't been able to reach him to let him know and my car is on the fritz again."

Sara nodded and replied. "Let me see if I can get a hold of him." Alice nodded and waited patiently. Sara pulls her phone out of the clip it was in, walked a little ways from her as she hit speed dial number one then puts the phone up to her ear as it started ringing.

Two rings later Grissom picks up. "Grissom."

Sara responded. "Hey Griss. uh... listen Alice is here and she said that her appointment got moved to 8."

She heard him mumble 'damn' under his breath then asked. "Really?"

"Yeah."

"Well I am still at the crime scene it wasn't an open and shut as I hoped it would be."

Sara nodded even though he couldn't see then said. "Ok...Well how about I'll get her to the appointment and you can met us there?"

He sighed and ran his hand down his face, he didn't want her to have to spend a lot of time alone with her because of how it might make her feel but he had no choice right now, he did ask though. "You sure Sara?"

Sara sighed and replied. "What other choice do we have? It will be fine, I promise we won't kill each other."

"Thank you Sara and not about the killing part."

Sara chuckled a little and said. "I know what you mean, I'll see you in a few. I love you."

"I love you too, bye." After she said bye they hung up the phone.

She puts the phone back in its place, turns and walks back up to Alice.

Alice stands back up when Sara was standing in front of her and Sara said. "He is still at crime scene so it looks like I am taking you there, if you don't mind."

"No I don't mind."

Sara nodded and continued. "Ok, I'll be right back, I have to take care of a few things."

Alice nodded and watched her walk away, both wondering how this outing will be.

10 minutes later Sara walks back to the reception area then they walked to her vehicle.

A few minutes into the drive that was very awkward and silent Alice looks over at Sara and started to speak.
"I understand we are in a complex situation here and you probably hate my guts for bringing this in your life but I want you to know that what you are doing a few women wouldn't do, so I commend you on it." Alice had found out from Grissom that him and Sara had gotten back together and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed but overall she was happy for him.

Sara cleared her throat and responded. "I don't hate you and yes this is a complex situation and to tell you the truth I have had many in my life my life but I have overcome them all and I am not about to give up on this one either."

Alice smiles, looks at Sara as the vehicle stopped at the light and she said in a warm voice. "You must really love him."

Sara smiled, looked at the light for a few seconds, looks over at Alice and replied. "I do, no matter how hard I tried to move on and stop my feelings for him in the past it never worked, so it looks like I am stuck with him for the rest of my life."

Alice gives her a warm smile, looks down at her hands and spoke in a soft voice as Sara looked back at the light. "I couldn't think of a better man to be stuck with."

Sara mentally gasped as she heard the tone of Alice's voice, she saw the light turn green then looked over at Alice and asked as she started driving. "You love him don't you?"

Alice looked over at her and before any words were said and anything could be done another car came into the intersection hitting the car on the passenger side and Sara's world went black after hitting the side of her head.
