Looking under her bed Sara continued to look for Lucy's shoes before deciding to look under the sofa for a second time. Although her three-year-old daughter had many pairs of shoes, because of her 'fish faze' as Sara like to call it, only her Nemo shoes would do. Finding them behind the bathroom door Sara quickly graped her hand bag along with Lucy's pack pack thinking that she would have to put them on when they got to day care. Working only part-time in the lab every Thursday morning was an ordeal, with Lucy having had her mother's attention all afternoon the day before and until Monday morning after her Thursday shift, Lucy tried to delay going to day care every time. Running 10 minutes late was not good but being a single parent was something Sara had dealt with since the moment of her baby's birth. Arriving and helping Lucy with her shoes Sara kissed her daughter three times for each year of her life and one for luck before making it into work 20 minutes late.

Running into the room to dump her stuff she quickly managed to get to her workstation before anyone had noticed. Unfortunately Catherine who was now working on days saw Sara, "hey late again that's not good if Ecklie was here ..." looking up into her friends face Sara could see Catherine's smile and replied matter of factly, "well if someone had not hid their shoes again I would have been here on time"
Getting back to her work Sara was surprised when she looked up again a few minutes latter to see Catherine still standing there with a worried look on her face. "Sara I need to tell you something," looking upset Sara walked over to the strawberry blonde wondering what was happening. Stating to talk Sara breathed in deeply as Catherine said his name but was shocked to hear what she said next. "He is coming back to work here?" Sara asked in desperation. "But,
but," was all she could manage. Catherine who was now speaking more quietly told Sara she wanted her to hear it from her as she was the only one who knew who Lucy's father was. Unable to comprehend what was going on Sara only just gained her breath back as the man in question came into the room. "Sara," was all Grissom could manage before shifting his focus to Catherine whom he needed to talk with.

Although she did not want to take a lunch break Catherine convinced Sara to come with her to a diner down the road to talk things through. The first to fill the silence Catherine began. "your going to have to tell him, he is going to be in charge every time you walk though that door." Sighing Sara knew Catherine was right but felt she still needed to argue her case, "I could say it was a one night stand after he left ...," stopping in mid sentence Catherine shook her head. "Sara as soon as he sees her he will figure it out." Still not satisfied Sara continued, "you and everyone I know have told me a million times that we could be twins, my colour hair, my ears." Smiling Catherine knew she had to say it, "but as soon as he looks into her baby blue eyes and sees himself? Knowing she was loosing the battle Sara nodded her head before taking a sip of her coffee the only problem was when and where was she going to tell her daughter that in fact that yes she did have a father Working on a steady stream of evidence all day Sara was also conscious of Grissom. Although they had not spoken she could feel him watching her all day and although each time she had turned around he was looking away, she knew he was near.

Managing to finish most of her work before knock of time at 4pm Sara quickly changed into her normal clothes and escaped from the office before having to see him again. Parking at Lucy's daycare Sara saw her daughter and ran into the center to hug her baby. More than happy it was Thursday afternoon Lucy began happily chatting away about their up-coming swim at the local pool. An avid swimmer as a child Sara was more than happy to see her daughter take to the water like a dolphin in their mommy and toddler swim class. Thrashing around for more than 45 minutes in the pool Lucy was more than happy to go bed without fuss after dinner knowing the next three days she would have her mothers undivided attention.

Folding washing while watching some lame TV movie of the week Sara was more than happy to turn it off when she heard knocking at the front door of her appartment. Shocked to see Grissom at her front door Sara did not know what to say but froze when she heard her daughter who was standing behind her.
Turning around still stuck for works Sara had not noticed Grissom standing in the living room staring at his daughter. Taking her thumb out of her mouth Lucy broke Sara's trance, "Mommy, I'm thirsty." Remembering where she was Sara picked up her daughter and carried her to the back bedroom. After getting her daughter something to drink and stroking her daughter's head until she fell asleep, the only thing that would get her to slumber she walked slowly back to the living room hoping Grissom had gone. Turning around when she walked in he looked in her eyes and said quietly, "we need to talk."
