The Look Of Love (part 9)
At work Catherine was sitting by herself in the break room when Sara came in. "You look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders," Sara said.
Catherine asked her if they could go to the 'office'. That is what they called the ladies room, especially when there were private matters they needed to talk about.
"What's up?" Sara asked. "Warrick asked me to marry him," she said.
"Congratulations," Sara said, "but why do down?" "I am excited about that," Cath said, "what I am not too sure about is ... you have to promise not to tell anyone ... I am pregnant."
"Ohhhhhh," Sara said. "Yeah," Cath said.
"Is this a problem?" Sara wanted to know.
"Rick is excited, I am not sure I want another baby."
"It is a problem," Sara said, "I think you two have a lot to talk about."
Nick came into the break room, he was still on cloud nine.
"Somebody got laid," Warrick said.
"No," Nick said, "someone made love."
"There is a difference?" Greg asked. Warrick and Nick both laughed.
Grissom came in, "Where are the ladies?"
"In the bathroom," Greg said.
"No, we are not," Sara said," we are here."
"Before you start," Rick said, "next Saturday you are all invited to a wedding. Catherine has agreed to marry me. It will be at the CHAPEL OF ETERNAL LOVE with a reception held at the SILVER DOLLAR. You all can bring a date."
After congratulations were passed around Gil passed assignments around.
Warrick and Catherine had a home invasion. Sara, Greg and Gil had a body in the woods. Nick had a hit and run.
Greg looked at Gil, "Body + Woods = bugs."
"Yes," Gil said. "Yuck! you know I hate bugs," Greg replied.
"Bugs can be a CSI's best friend," Sara said. "You have been living with Grissom too long," Greg said, "you are starting to sound like him."
Everyone laughed.
Grissom was right, the body was covered in bugs. Greg just stood and shivered. "Greg," Sara said, "you go process the car I will help Gil." Gratefully Greg left.
"You are mean to him sometimes," she told Gil as she pecked him on the cheek. Gil just smiled at her.
Sara and Greg came up with four possible suspects, Grissom's bugs narrowed it down to two. Further investigation brought it down to one.
Warrick and Catherine's home invasion turned out to be a dispute between a couple who were divorcing. He snuck in to take some things he wanted.
Nick's hit and run was still ongoing. There was not enough evidence to close the case.
Sara was a little nervous about seeing Andy again. She really wanted the dreams to go away but she was afraid it would not work.
Sara could not remember what happened during her next visit with Andy, she remembers sitting down and his soft voice then she remembers taking Gil's hand, Gil thanking him and them leaving.
She was not sure what he had done, or how he had done it, but the next time one of those cases came her way the dream was gone. Instead her dream was of a little girl that was plucked from an abusive home and placed in a loving and caring one.
Warrick and Catherine were sitting on their couch, Catherine had told him she was unsure about being a parent again.
"I understand," Warrick said," you have Lindsey and she is about grown. I have never had a chance to be a dad, never knew the thrill of holding my child and watching him grow. If you really do not want the child then all I ask is to have him. I will take him, or her, and raise him myself."
Catherine sat there for a while not saying anything. She turned and looked at him.
"I do want our baby," she said, "it is just that I was told by Hodges that you never wanted children. I was going to raise him myself."
They both laughed. "Now that I think about it," Warrick said, "it would be kind of hard doing what we said." "Why?" Catherine asked. "I invited the gang to our wedding," he said taking her in his arms and kissing her.
Gil and Sara were in the store shopping for a gift for Rick and Cath.
Gil looked at Sara, "Warrick and Catherine, who would have thought."
"I knew it all along," Sara said. Gil looked at her.
"The way they looked at each other," Sara said, "what was it Cath called it? The look of love. The same look I see in your eyes."
Gil and Sara had a couple of hours before court, he had asked her to take a walk with him. They went to the woods behind the house.
Sara loved it there, it was peaceful and quiet, untouched by human hands. What she liked the most was the way the sun reflected off the small creek.
That is where they were, sitting on a stump looking at the lake.
Sara leaned her head against Gil. "I got something for you while we were shopping today," Gil said.
"You could not find anything for Cath and Rick but you found something for me, how sweet," she said.
Gil stood, then got down on one knee, he held out a diamond engagement ring.
"Sara Sidle, you make my life complete, without you I am only half a person. I did not know what living was until you came into my life. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" "Gilbert Grissom, I doubt if anything in the world would make me happier. Yes, my love." He pulled her close to him and kissed her.
They were standing in the shower together, he started running his fingers down her back.
Sara let out a soft moan, she loved when he did that, then he planted soft kisses on her neck.
He reached around the front and cupped her breasts, gently playing with her nipples. Her moans became louder.
Stepping out of the shower he grabbed a towel and gently dried her making sure his hands also touched her bare skin.
He dropped the towel and continued to touch her.
Her lay her on the bed and his lips replaced his hands. Using his lips and tongue he brought her to an explosive climax.
He let Sara mount him, he was beginning to like this way better.
He caressed her breasts, she used just the right speed and movements to prolong his climax, then when he could hold it no longer he pulled her down on him so that he was deep inside her.
She lay her head on his chest, he kissed the top of her head. "Now that is much more fun than court," she said when her breathing returned to normal.
Gil laughed and agreed with her. "Now, love," he said, "if you don't get some clothing on that sexy body I may have to do it all over again."
Sara teased him by dressing very slowly.
Sara and Gil were at the court house, they had to testify in a case that they had worked. They were lucky this time, they were called first.
As they headed for the exit Gil said, "Let's do it now." Sara looked at him, "You are serious aren't you?"
"Sure," he said, "unless you want to wait." Sara stood there for a minute then she smiled took his hand and headed down the hall.
They walked into the justice of the peace office as Sara Sidle and Gil Grissom and 15 minutes later came out as Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Grissom
