Chapter 19
Sara woke up sore and bodily exhausted. Grissom was still asleep next to her. She snuggled closer and lay her head on his shoulder. Instinctively in his sleep, Grissom wrapped his arm around her.
She felt safe, for once in her life. She remembered the time before Vegas, she could talk to Grissom about anything, no matter how personal.
Grissom stirred, his eyes opened and he groaned. He was definetely feeling the effects of the night before:
"Good morning sleepy head." Sara whispered into his ear and then kissed his throat.
"Good morning." He answered.
"How do you feel?" She continued her attack on his neck.
"Sore, physically exhausted."
"Ahh, so do I."
They left the bed and got dressed into some fresh clothes:
"The dance was good."
"So was the after party." Grisom added. Which earned him a slap on the arm. "Hey! I'm just saying the truth."
"That may be, but we can't tell the team, focus on the plan ahead
darling."
"Ok, ok."
The rest of the week was spent gaining the photograghs and rented the wedding dress, among having some fun.
When it was time to return to Las Vegas, the plane jorney was peaceful. Also, there wasn't just a Miss Mile High anymore.
They arrived at the Vegas airport a few hours later. They collected everything and made their way to each of their homes.
They threw their bags into their house and jumped back into the Denali. The drove to the lab, they were going to enjoy this.
They walked into the lab and down to the breakroom when they arrived. The whole team was there:
"Hi everyone." They said in unison, and then moved immediately away from each other.
Uh-Oh, have I made their relationship even worse? Catherine thought.
"Oh, funny trick guys, totally hilarious." Sara sounded furious, all part of the plan.
"We thought it would give you a chance to talk again." Greg instantly cracked.
"Really? Well, we would have done that in our own time. How DARE you book a room under Mr and Mrs Grissom!" Grissom barked.
"Sorry."
"HOW DARE YOU MAKE US SHARE A BED!"
"We're sorry."
Catherine caught glimpse of the shining rock and Sara's ring finger, "Sara...who bought you the ring?"
"Oh, I've had this for ages. I thought you'd notice Catherine."
"It's nice, what is it...diamond?"
"Yeah, it was my grandmother's wedding ring." Sara sounded so believable.
"It's lovely."
"Thank you."
They all split up, Greg went to his lab and Grissom followed. Sara went to her lab and the rest followed her.
Greg sat at the bench and pulled over some evidence. He then noticed the gold band of gold around his left ring finger:
"Grissom?"
"Yes?"
"What is that?" Greg said pointed to Grissom's left hand.
"Oh that? Greg I'm married."
"WHAT!" Greg jumped off his stool.
"It's not that uncommon, even I can get married."
"Who's the wife?"
"I have a picture, would you like to see?"
"Yeah." Greg sounded like an excited child.
"Ok." Grissom puled out the 'wedding' picture. Greg saw Sara in Grissom's arms, his eyes widened. They stood in a wedding arch, Sara in a lovely wedding gown. It had long sheer sleeves, with ruffles at the end. The pink and red sparkles at the thin corset were easily seen. Sara had a tiara with the veil behind the head, her hair was set long and in waves. She looked stunning.
Grissom had his arms wrapped around her waist, with her's lying on his. They were so close. Her head was lying back against his shoulder and they were smiling...Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle were smiling together:
"You're married to...to Sara?"
"Yep, and very happy."
"Really?"
"Greg I think the ring and the picture prove it."
"But..how?"
"We went to a chapel, ordered a minister..."
"I know how you got married." Greg interrupted, Grissom laughed.
"Oh my god, you laughed."
"Is that a problem?"
"No...it's good, I guess, the new Grissom. With a wife. Ecklie won't be happy."
"I don't care."
Sara sat in her lab staring at her followers. She turned and grabbed her coffee mug, it was empty. But they never knew that. She poured a mixture of sugar, porridge oats and food coloring into it and turned to face them. She took a 'sip' and took the whole mixture into her mouth.
She made a pained expression and ran to the wastebasket. She spat the mixture into it:
"Sara!" Her followers shouted.
"I'm ok." She said.
"Sara, what's wrong?"
"I was sick Catherine."
"Yeah, but why?"
"How would I know?"
"Did you eat something a little funny?" asked Nick.
"No."
"Are you ill?"
"I don't think so."
Sara then searched her purse and pulled out a pregnancy test. She had colored it the positive color back in Florida:
"Ok, ok I can't lie to you. Catherine this is the cause." She passed it to Catherine.
Catherine squealed, "Oh my god Sara, you're pregnant."
"Yeah, about a week. I found that in Florida, it detects the early stages of pregnancy."
"Who's the father?"
"I don't know."
"What do you mean?"
"Ok, you got me again. It's...it's..." Sara made tears fall from her eyes, "It's Grissom."
"How?"
"You know that ring? He's my husband, I'm so happy."
They were stunned into silence. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Gil Grissom married to Sara Sidle, no it couldn't be:
"You're pulling our chain Sar." said Nick."
"Yeah, Grissom and you married, no I don't believe it." added Warrick.
"It's true, I've even got a picture." Sara let them see the same picture Grissom had shown Greg.
"Oh my lord." Catherine whispered.
Sara then left the room and met Grissom walking along the corridor. They high-fived and got to work.
TBC :devil:
