It would be her birthday today, her sixteenth to be exact, I wonder how she is? What she's doing with life, but as far as life is I lost all contact with Sophie-Rae when she was taken into care. No matter how much I pleaded and fought for her Sophie-Rae started her life in care, and as far as I knew that's where she still was, granted a family took her in, I even received pictures of her every birthday and Christmas, so I do feel part of her life in some strange old way.

Crime lab midnight!

"Come on Sara, coffee you live on the stuff" Greg pleaded with begging eyes "You know you want and dare I say it need a break"

"For the last time, no Greg!" Sara replied returning to her evidence "Greg you can stand there all night watching me, but I will not leave this room till I have finished with all my evidence, now shoo annoying one"

"That hurts Sara" Greg dramatically groans "I thought you loved me?"

"No I Iove Grissom, always have always will" Sara replies rubbing her forehead trying to remain calm.

"Oh that's so sweet" Catherine squealed causing Greg to jump in the air and fall to a heap on the floor "You ok Greg?"

"Are you trying to kill me?" Greg asked standing up and holding his chest.

"Everyday, just never works" Catherine replies "Need a hand Sar?"

"Oh thank you" Sara replies turning to Catherine "Get rid of Greg!"

"I'm going, women and hormones a bad mix" Greg muttered walking down the hall and out of view.

"So what's bothering you?" Catherine asks Sara who stood staring at the ceiling.

"Why is life so unfair?" Sara enquires slumping into the chair, evidence forgotten "I just for once my life went well and wasn't a complete and utter mess"

"You and Gil are ok, aren't you?" Catherine required sitting beside Sara "Look you need a break, come to my office, we can have a girly chat or a slanging match, with you I'm never quite sure"

"Can you see me with a sixteen year old?" Sara blurts out staring at the ceiling again "Never mind never will happen"

"Wait a sixteen year old, who's sixteen year old? The only sixteen year old I know happens to be my daughter" Catherine replies "You can't ask a question like that and not then explain, you know I'll go mad without my daily dose of gossip"

"That's true" Sara replied smiling as Catherine slapped her arm "Hey no hitting because I won't talk"

"Ok I'll hit you again if you don't talk" Catherine replied giggling but then stopped as Sara's eyes filled with tears "Oh Sara I'm sorry, right my office now, no arguments"

Catherine helped a tearful Sara from her chair and walked beside Sara to her office, where the dayshift's ducks still lay on the desk, causing Sara to giggle.

"I swear I need my own office, I'm sick and tired of coming into work to find pond life on the desk" Catherine moaned picking up the two ducks and gently placing them in the top drawer of the filing cabinet "Sheila's lucky I haven't put them in the garbage yet, oh sorry where were we?"

"How my life sucks" Sara replied sadly "Why me?"

"Well I can't understand if you don't tell me" Catherine responded tidying up her desk "So? You going to tell me?"

"This is going to be so hard to explain, so here goes" Sara said taking in a deep breath "I was twenty just out of Berkeley, when I got the news I become a sister to a little girl, Sophie-Rae. I never got to see her my mom was in and out of prison, so baby Sophie was taken into care, I tried and tried to get custody of her, but they wouldn't let me, I was in their eyes a child"

"Oh Sara, I'm so sorry" Catherine said holding onto Sara's hand, giving it a gentle encouraging squeeze "There's more isn't there?"

"Yea today is Sophie-Rae's sixteenth birthday" Sara said started to sob into Catherine's chest.

Catherine held onto to Sara, meanwhile out in reception tall brunette stood arguing with the security guard much to the amusement of Nick and Warrick.

"Do I look like I'm homeless? I have about four suitcases and two bags, how would I live on the street with all this you dumbass" Sophie yells "Can I at least come in, my front is nice and toasty and my ass is bloody freezing"

"Come on Grant let her in" Warrick pleaded walking over to the reception desk and a very bemused Judy "Give umm what's your name?"

"Sophie-Rae and who the hell are you?" Sophie asks staring from Grant to Warrick.

"I'm Warrick Brown and I'm a CSI on nightshift" Warrick replies.

"Well you aren't a stripper are you? Of course your a CSI" Sophie replies sarcastically "So Warrick my man you going get me in this joint? I've lost all feeling in my butt!"

"You have a great sense of humour Sophie" Nick remarked "Look Grant if me and Warrick watch Sophie can she come in?"

"What am I going to do? Ride around the lab on a morgue trolley? Although that does sound like fun" Sophie said giggling nodding at Grant when he let her in "Thanks"

"So what brings you here Soph?" Warrick asks picking up one of the suitcases.

"Oh I thought I would come and live in the lab" Sophie replied laughing when Warrick, Nick and Grant looked at her "I was joking, I'm here to find a long lost family member"

"You kid are a hoot, how old are you?" Nick asked picking up the remaining suitcases and one of the bags "What you got in here? A dead body?"

"Great you found out my secret, there goes my chance of hiding the body in the morgue" Sophie replies laughing loudly "Seriously it's all my belongings"

Nick, Warrick and Sophie walk down the corridor and into the break room, where Greg sat staring into space, as soon as Greg saw Sophie he stood up.

"Hello, I'm Greg Sanders but you can just call me Greg" Greg shouted at a startled but amused Sophie "Your hot!"

"Whoa down boy!" Sophie exclaimed "For one I'm only sixteen, your like forty and go get laid" Sophie replied slapping hands with Nick and Warrick "Just kidding nice to meet you Greg"

"Same here" Greg replied staring at Sophie "You look so familiar, but I can't seem to put my finger on it"

"That's because you have a brain the size of a pea" Nick said causing Sophie to giggle and collapse on the sofa in tears of laughter.
