Adeste Fideles

Chapter two




She had been looking searchingly into his eyes for a few minutes. They both were silent. They needed to find balance for the most important talk in their friendship. She was there for a finale talk with him. Now, It was everything or nothing. She knew that she couldn’t give him room to back off one more time. She corned him as if she was doing it with their suspects. He loved this Catherine Willows and he had fallen in love with her again in the moment when he saw her determined look.

She was so persistent like his mother. She was able to draw him out and spill the beans. She couldn’t say if he was more scared of her or her rejection. She loved him dearly before he was able to form it into his own words.

One sentence is going to pound in his mind for the rest of his life. The life which was so poor and unchallenging without her.

“Gil Grissom, please, don’t forget about it for the rest of your life. You can write somewhere where you will be able to see it every second, minute, day, simply every moment of your life that I love you. Yeah, I, Catherine Willows, love you, Gilbert Grissom, with all my heart. Even more you’re loved by another Willows, Lindsey. She loves you like her dad. You’re a dad whom she had next to her all her time from the moment she was born.”

“Catherine, I love you, too. But now, please, shut up!”

Last thing he could remember from that evening, is that he had been kissing her senseless.

Venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus, dominum!

Everything had really changed even though they started dating slowly. They have known each other over fifteen years. They need to be sure that everything is going to work how they want it. They were able to discover the safe land between them and they needed to be sure with everything in their lives, especially Catherine when it came to Lindsey. Even though she knew how much Gil loves her daughter.

He had been seen with the gleam in his eye’s. The lab was full of rumor mill about his life, especially love life. He heard several people who wasn’t aware that he overheard them. He knew how much lab lived for the speculations. He was a supervisor one of the main shift after all and so he knew how they worked in these cases. They had loved to gossip about everyone from the shift and the lab. He wasn’t concern about it.

Adeste Fideles laeti triumphantes;
Venite, venite in Bethlehem;
Natum videte regem angelorum

It had been months from the Haynes’ case and he had been so grateful for it. He was glad that it all happened. Everything seems to go in a blur. He was lucky that he could be with woman like Cath. Now, there was time for the main action of his life. He had been preparing for several months to do it. He was glad that he had a help in Lindsey.
