Re: Grissom&Sara #23 - Hot, Butt-Kicking, Chainsaw Wielding
And in truth, I wouldn't HATE a pregnancy plotline. What I don't want is it being used as an excuse for them to leave in terms of "Sara HAS to leave now that she's pregnant" or "Grissom's being FORCED out because of the reveal".
More - Grissom wants to be a teacher, Sara wants to be a mother, and they've moved on from this career.
If it's done in THAT way, it would be very welcome.
That's sort of how the reveal was done last year as well. Much as we all wanted a passionate kiss and the hint at lurvemaking (or that that was their jumping-off point rather than a reveal), I think what they ended up doing was very much saying, "Here's what they have, and this is exactly where they want to be."
I agree that, "Dear" is appropriate for Grissom's age, and for their relationship. However, it's sorta throwing me off. I mean, that sounds very, "Married," to me. I know we could start a huge debate about whether or not they are married (I don't think so, but I think it's a possibility in the future)... but it was very, very comfortable. I mean, if they're to the stage where the have specific terms of endearment that just roll off their tongue like that, they've been together for quite a while.
I was expecting Sara and Grissom to be more divided on religion. As it was, it came out as more of a discussion than a comparing of points.
Here is what I gleaned, though - Sara feels about religion the same way she does about marriage... and so does Grissom.
Sara thinks that people shouldn't just blindly follow tradition because it's the thing to do.
Grissom likes tradition, but wants to put his own spin on it.
Therefore, I can see them living as husband and wife, being together every night (even if they don't live together, just alternating sleeping places - his or hers'), and very much BEING a married couple... without needing the papers.
I don't think either of them wants the big grand display of a wedding. I mean, Nick kind of fawned over the wedding itself, but Grissom liked the flowers and the romance of it, but balked at all of the food arrangements and the bride's finery.
Also, I don't think either of them would be up for a drive-thru wedding either.
I sense that Sara respects weddings and marriage, when done right, but doesn't think that it's necessarily for her.
So... I guess I could see them just sort of getting the papers drawn up at City Hall for legal and practical purposes (Grissom saying that he'd like to say goodbye to the ones he loves also sounds will-ish to me.), but beyond that, I don't really think this is the sort of relationship that would need marriage to make it seem stronger.
