This is my second stab at fanfic...........


Chapter One


It was only yesterday that Nick's life had changed only yesterday.....


It was an ordinary day for the CSIs. They had just finished pulling a double. Everyone stared at the clock in boredom. Even though pulling a double was well very hard it was better then standing still doing nothing. Then the secretary approached the room.

" Mr. Stokes someone is here for you." Nick shrugged and followed her. At the desk he saw a women about his age standing there.

" Nick!" She said. Nick looked at her confused. " Remember me Jen?"

" Oh ya! How are you?"

" Good and you?"

" Great!"

" So what brings you here?"

" Well it's kind of a long story but to make it short your daughter." There was total silence.

" What?"

" I know, I know it happened a long time ago I was going to tell you but you left. I wanted a kid and-

" Are you sure it's me?"

" Well we need a DNA test. I'll get her." Jen left then the whole team joined even Greg.

" Blast from your past Nick?" Sara asked.

" You guys might want to sit down." As Nick explained the situation no one seemed to care. " What, why are you guys smiling?"

" Man you're a dad." Warrick said.

" And it's nothing to be a shamed about." Grissom added.

" Plus it's easy." Catherine said. Jen soon joined them and Nick turned around.

" Nick this is your daughter."

" Hi." Nick said.

" Hi." Mandy said in return.

" So what's your name and how old are you?"

" Mandy Hanes and 11."

" Nick Stokes um you don't need to know my age. By the way this is my co-workers, Catherine Williows. She's a mother to a 8 year old daughter Lindsay. This is Gil Grissom the boss. That's Warrick Brown and Sara Sidle oh ya and Greg." Everyone shook hands with her. " Al is the corner and that is Jim Brass." Jim shook her hand.

" If you want we could get the DNA test over with." Greg said as Nick and Mandy headed off. Jen followed behind starring at her daughter. Greg hurried up with the results. " Alright Nick this indeed is your daughter." Mandy looked at Nick and so did everyone else in the room.

" So Mandy do you want to change your last name?" Mandy nodded and smiled. Jen looked at Mandy for one last time.

" Bye."

" See ya!" Mandy said. As Jen walked off Mandy turned to her new dad. " So dad what do you want to do?" Nick smiled.

" Let's get to know each other."


Nick looked at his clock. Only yesterday I became a father to a girl that still looks at me as if I'm stranger. But whatever happens from here on she's mine. Nick got out of bed and went to get breakfast.

" I made you breakfast." Mandy said.

" Thanks." Nick replied. No one talked during breakfast. Both Nick and Mandy were shy.

" Oh dad one thing." She said.

" What honey?"

" Um mom is kind of marrying Conrad Ecklie."
