Their Life
Chapter 1: Happy Birthday & A surprise
April 13, 2008
Grissom and Sara were sleeping in their bed peacefully when he was woken up by a sound coming from the baby monitor. "Dada." He opens his eyes and listened for the sound again. "Dada." Then he smiled. That word was one of the best words he loved hearing and had thought he would only imagine ever hearing it, that was until a year ago today when their little miracle was born.
His thoughts get interrupted when he hears Sara's voice next to him. "Told you she's your world."
He smiled bigger as he turned his head to look at the woman who made that word even possible, then leans toward her, kisses her cheek and replied in a whisper. "Well for the record you're my world too."
He moves so his elbow was on the mattress and he started looking down at her as she opened her eyes, then she gave him a sleepy smile, puts her hand on his clean-shaven cheek and replied. "That's very good to hear."
He smiles, and as he leaned down to kiss her on the lips, Beth starts whimpering. "Dada."
Sara pecks him on the lips before saying. "You better go get your daughter."
He nodded, moved the blankets off of him and gets out of bed, then as he walked to the bedroom door in his sweatpants and shirtless, he looks back at Sara and said with a smirk. "Yeah, I hate to hear her pouting like her mother when she doesn't get enough attention." Then chuckled when the pillow that Sara threw at him didn't even go halfway.
He winked and replied. "I Love you."
She moved to her body so she was laying on her side and responded with. "Yeah, Yeah." Then brought the blankets up to her chin and closed her eyes for a few more minutes of sleep, knowing today was going to be a busy day.
Grissom watched her for a few more seconds with a smile, before walking down the hall to the first door on the left.
Once he was there he opens the cracked door all the way and saw his little brown-haired butterfly standing up in her crib looking at the door, waiting for her father to come in. The moment she saw him come in, she gave him a 'Sara' copy smile. He smiled back as he walked up to her.
When he picked her up he said. "How are you butterfly, do you know what today is?" When all she did was run her hand down his cheek, he chuckled before continuing, while looking into her blue eyes. "It's your birthday. A year ago today you came into this world and it was the best day of our lives." He kissed her softly on the forehead, then tickled her, which made her laugh and made his heart soar because it was just like her mother's.
After he kissed her on the forehead one more time he changed her, then walked out of the room and headed for the kitchen down stairs.
When they got there he puts Beth in her high chair, before grabbing a jar of baby food and setting it on the counter, then made a pot of coffee.
As he was pouring himself a cup he heard Sara's voice. "Hey sweetie, how are you?"
He turns around as Beth said. "Mama." with a smile. Sara smiled back at her and kissed her forehead.
When she looked over at Grissom he said with a smile. "I thought that was to me."
She winked and said with a smirk. "You wish."
He pretended to be hurt and said. "That really hurt, dear."
She walks up to him, kissed his cheek and said. "Sorry, I didn't mean it." Then she whispered in his ear. "I'll make it up to you later." She pulls back as he raised an eyebrow, then she chuckled as she took the cup he had just filled from his hands, and said 'thank you', before grabbing the baby food he laid out on the counter for their daughter.
Grissom watched them for a second, then shook his head, grabbed a second cup of coffee before asking. "What do you want for breakfast, dear?"
After feeding Beth her first bite of spinach, she looked over at Grissom and replied. "Something light since we'll be having snacks all day for the party."
They decided instead of a big dinner, everybody would bring something, so it was wasn't a fixed meal.
He nodded and started on their light breakfast, but stopped when Sara said his name.
He turns around and she said with love in her eyes. "I do love you, and thank you."
"You're welcome, and I know." Then he wink and goes back to the meal.
Sara looks her husband's bare back for a few seconds, then concentrates on feeding their daughter with happiness surging through her, she couldn't wait for later.
After a while the team, including Brass and Betty, showed up at the house.
Beth was very happy to see everybody, but she spent a lot of time on Grissom's and Grandma Betty's lap throughout the party.
As the hours rolled by it was finally time for the cake, so after Grissom stuck a number 1 candle in the middle of a butterfly shaped cake, he picks it up, walks over to the high chair and sets it down, then after he lit it they all started singing happy birthday as Sara was taping it, and Beth was smiling and clapping her hands.
When they were done Grissom squats down and said. "Ok butterfly, let's blow out the candle." He started to blow just enough so Beth could see, but she kept looking at him and shaking her head no. They laughed and Grissom said. "Alright, maybe you'll do it next year." He finally blew out the candle and everybody clapped, including Beth again.
Grissom speaks as he stands up. "Thanks guys."
They just nodded with smiles, and right as he picked up the cake to take back to the counter, Beth slaps her hands right in it making a mess on herself, his arms and on the kitchen floor by her high chair.
Grissom looked down on his arms, then looks over at Sara and she is shaking her head with a 'oh no' look, then Grissom looked at his daughter and said. "Well it looks like somebody is going to need a bath tonight." He was very thankful that they took her nice dress off before they were getting ready for the cake
They all chuckled, then saw Mrs. Grissom sign something, so Greg asked. "What did she say?"
Sara answered. "She said, her son did the same thing at Beth's age."
They chuckled for a third time as Grissom was cleaning his arms and his daughter, ignoring their playful comments.
Once the mess was somewhat cleaned, they socialized for a few more minutes before Beth got see what presents they brought her.
At the end of unwrapping she saw there some outfits, but she was mostly interested in the new toys she got.
After a few more hours went by the team and Mrs. Grissom left the house.
When Grissom shuts the front door, he took care of cleaning the kitchen better, while Sara was giving Beth a bath upstairs.
As Sara was drying off Beth, Grissom walked in the doorway of the master bathroom and saw his two favorite girls.
Sara turns around when she felt his presences, then they smiled at each other and Sara spoke for Beth. "Well daddy, I am all clean now."
Grissom walks fully into the room as Beth was holding out her arms looking tired. He picks her up from Sara's arms, while she's still in the towel, then kissed her head and said. "Yes you are butterfly, now it's time to get your pajamas on and to go sleep, you had a busy day." They watched her rub her hands along her eyes before walking to Beth's room.
After they changed her, they tucked her in, then Sara kiss her forehead and whispered. "I love you sweetie pie, sleep tight." She kissed her head one more time, then moved out-of-the-way so Grissom could have his turn.
"I love you too butterfly, and I'll see you in the morning." He kissed her on the head before pulling back.
After standing there watching her fall asleep for a few minutes, Sara slips her hand in her husband's and walked them out of the room, but making sure the baby monitor was on before they walked out, then cracked the door behind them.
When they got back into their room, he shuts the door, brings her close to him and kisses her on the lips, which she responds immediately as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
They stood in that brace for a few minutes until they needed air, and when they pulled back he kissed her cheek, then moved his lips to her ear and whispered. "So, what does this making it up to me entail?"
She smiled as ran her fingers through his hair in the back and whispered. "Something you probably didn't even think about." He pulled back to look into her brown eyes and raised an eyebrow at her answer. She moved her right hand to his cheek, ran her thumb up and down and continued. "I have another present to give, but it isn't for Beth." He was still a little confused, until she used her left hand to take his left hand and put it over her stomach, then spoke while looking into his blue eyes. "Griss, you're going to be a father again."
After Beth was born they didn't come out and nix any plans of having more children, they decided to let nature run its course and if anymore happen to come in their lives then they will welcome them with open arms, and were open to the idea until they felt they were done having kids.
Sara watched his eyes for his reaction and was getting excited when they lit up with a smile appearing on his face as he asked with emotion. "For real?"
She nodded as she puts her hand over his that was still on her stomach, then answered. "For real babe, another one, you happy?"
He chuckled before bringing her closer and wrapping his arms around her. "I am so happy, honey." He holds her for a few minutes, then pulls back, cups both of her cheeks and repeated what he just said while looking into her eyes. "I'm so happy, and I love you so much."
He wipes her tear away before putting his hand back on her stomach, and she replied. "I am so happy too."
They look into each other's eyes, showing the emotion in them, then she takes his free hand and moves backward, taking him with her.
Once the back of her knees hits the end of the bed, he picks her up bridal style and carefully moves them to the head of the bed and sits her down before getting on his knees in front of her.
She runs her hands down his shirt covered chest until she reaches for the hem of the shirt and lifts it up over his head, after tossing the shirt she ran her hand up his arm until she touched the small scar that he got on that awful night where they could have lost one another and their friends, then she looks into his eyes for a few seconds, before moving toward his arm and kissing the scare.
When she pulled back she moved her lips up to his shoulder, along his collarbone, to his neck, then up to his ear and whispered. "I love you too Griss."
After she kissed his ear she pulls back to look into her husband's eyes as he opened them back up.
He moves his hand to her cheek to wipe another tear off, looked into her eyes, and instead of seeing the playful Sara he saw this morning or the mother side of her this afternoon, he was seeing the loving and passionate Sara, which he loved all sides of the this beautiful woman.
She does a short nod telling him it's ok to continue, and after looking into her eyes a few minutes longer, he moves forward and started kissing her lips as she moved to lie down, while taking him with her, both falling in love with each other all over again.
