Dedicated to Lil Badger 101. Your story "Baby Troubles" gave me the idea for this story!

I'm celebrating my nephew's birthday...by posting another Greg and Morgan story :)

I got to thinking about how much I enjoy writing for Greg and Morgan. I loved writing my story "Next Time We Meet", so I thought I'd try another story with Greg, Morgan and Riley. So...here's the story.

And it is a Greg and Morgan story...they have a relationship as the story begins.

I only own Jackson. Everything else isn't mine.

Greg Sanders had just closed another case after working a double and was more than ready to head home. He wanted nothing more than to crawl into his bed and hibernate for hours. Since his girlfriend, Morgan Brody, was in California for a friend's wedding, he was looking forward to sleeping for hours and then meeting her in a couple of days and just be with his love.

Stopping by his supervisor's office, he waved to D.B. Russell.

"Hey!" His boss called to him.

Greg sighed tiredly as he approached the doorway to his office.

D.B. smiled as he saw the younger man's expression. "Don't worry, I'm just going to tell you that you did a good job on the case."

A tired smile crossed Greg's face. "Thank you."

D.B. smiled and Greg waved and turned to leave. As he walked a few steps away from D.B.'s office, his cell phone rang. Greg looked and didn't recognize the number, but he answered anyway.

"Sanders."

After a few moments of silence, a woman's voice answered. "Hello, Greg."

Greg blinked in surprise. "Riley?"

"Yeah," she answered with a sigh. "It's me."

"Hey! What are you up to?" Greg had missed Riley from the moment he learned she had left. He'd been in love with her, had even dated her, under Ecklie's nose of course.

"Um...I'm here in Vegas for a few days."

"Really?" Greg didn't know whether to be excited or apprehensive.

"Yeah." Another sigh was heard from Riley's end. "You, um...you still at the same address?"

"Yeah."

"How about I meet you there? You at the lab?"

A smile crossed Greg's face. "I'm just getting off. I'll be there in about twenty minutes."

"See you then."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

As Greg hung up his phone and headed to his car, he found himself getting more and more excited over seeing Riley Adams again. Not necessarily because he had dated her-he was now dating his fellow CSI Morgan Brody. But he had always wonedered what might have happened if she'd stayed. Maybe now he'd get his answer.

Greg pulled up to his apartment and saw a small rental car sitting in a nearby spot. He looked over and saw the driver sitting in the front seat glance up in the rearview mirror. Within a moment, Greg realized it was her.

Smiling, Greg walked over to the car and Riley got out and met Greg just before he got to the car. They embraced in a brief hug.

When they pulled apart, Greg looked at the beautiful woman he had fallen in love with years ago.

Riley's eyes scanned over Greg, as if she wanted to be sure he was really there. They both smiled and chuckled.

"Wow," Riley said.

"You look great," Greg told the smiling woman. When she briefly looked away, he added, "No, really. You do."

Riley sighed. "Thank you." She glanced back at her car.

Greg sensed she was nervous about something. "Everything okay, Riles?"

Riley smiled sadly when Greg called her by the nickname he had for her. Just like Nick was the only one who could call Greg 'G', only Greg could call her 'Riles'.

Gesturing towards the car, Riley took Greg's hand and they walked over to the car.

As Greg got closer, he saw a small child sitting in the back seat. The little boy looked to be about three years old, and had almond-shaped eyes and light red hair.

"Who's this?" Greg asked as Riley opened the car door. The little boy smiled at Riley and looked at Greg with curiousity.

Greg bent down so he could be eye-to-eye with him. He smiled at the boy, and the boy smiled shyly.

"This is Jackson," Riley said. "He's my son."

Greg froze. This was her son, and he was about three years old. That could only mean one thing.

As if she was reading Greg's mind, Riley said, "Yes, Greg. He's our son."
