-1Number 5 in my CSI song fic series. This is where I’ll leave it for now.

This Moment.
by Barnaby

We finally made up. Sara and I. It wasn’t easy for her but she finally gave in and we told the rest of the team about us.

I, I am watching you sleep
It’s the promise you made
What I find I can keep
Oh I want to swallow the moon
Give a smile back to you
Lighting your way
Tell the angels they’ll just have to wait

What made the stubborn Sara Sidle give in you ask, I finally explained to her that I didn’t want to hide us, I didn’t want people to believe I was ashamed of my relationship that I wouldn’t tell anyone who it was with. She finally accepted that it was just something I had to do, something I needed.

‘Cause I want to stay here in this moment
Can I quietly slip into you
You and I can stay here in this moment
Let the world fade away
I just want to stay with you

It’s a lazy Sunday morning for the two of us. Lindsey stayed at a friends house last night and so Sara and I had the place to ourselves. We had make up sex just about everywhere, every surface that would accommodate us, if it wouldn’t we made it.

I, I am watching you breathe
I am pulled into you
As you crash into me
Oh I want to give you the stars
All that I can hold in my arms
Placing them where you lay
Tell the angels they’ll just have to wait

So now on this lazy Sunday morning I lay here watching her and I still can’t quite believe that she’s here in my arms and that she loves me. I mean I know there’s still a little bit of hurt in her because of the way I treated her when she came to Vegas but I know that she’s making every attempt to get over it.

‘Cause I want to stay here in this moment
Can I quietly slip into you
You and I can stay here in this moment
Let the world fade away
I just want to stay with you

The beauty beside me stirs and in this moment I love her even more. She’s so vulnerable when she’s asleep and I am so glad she let’s me see it. Sometimes she has nightmares, about something in her past I guess, she always cries out ‘don’t let him do it’ or ‘get away from me’ and it makes my heart ache that something happened to her or maybe it is just in her dreams.

With my hand on your skin
We can slowly begin
I am free
Now the heavens have less
‘Cause I’ve found the best
And I wont let them take you away
Tell the angels they’ll just have to wait

First thing in the morning are the best moments, or in the evening when we need to get ready for work, she one of these people that aren’t good at being awake, I guess you could say she’s not a morning person no matter what time of the day it is. When she’s first waking she’ll cuddle into me more or if I have to wake her up she’ll put her head under the sheets and reuse to wake up. It’s cute.

I want to stay here in this moment
Can I quietly slip into you
You and I can stay here in this moment
Let the world fade away

Now if I ever called Sara cute to her face she’d blast me for it. Cute is not a word she likes being used to describe her. I don’t know why.

I want to stay here in this moment
Make the earth stand impossibly still
Disappear in your kiss
We’ll never be missed
Let the world fade away
I just want to stay
With you
With you

Every morning though I always think the same thing, no matter what time of the day we’re waking up, I want to stay in this moment with her and stay forever.
