Sara and Gil Grissom weren't quite sure how they were going to tell their 3 year old daughter Emma she was going to be a big sister, or how the young girl would respond when the baby was born but at least they had 6 months to figure that one out.

"Emma can you come to me here please" asked Sara from the couch in the living room

"But mommy, i'm watching my programmes" graoned Emma "can't it wait?"

"No it can't young lady" Gil replied "Emma Faith Grissom get your little tush in here now"

"Ok daddy" Emma replied "then can i go back to watching TV?"

"We will see" Sara said "it's almost your bedtime"

"I'm not having a bath" Emma said "i had one two days ago"

"Your having a bath" Sara sternly said "now sit down we have something to tell you"

"Ok" sighed Emma rolling her eyes "i hope this is good, because i'm missing Big Bear in the Big Blue House"

"Emma this is important" Gil said holding back his smile "you need to be a big girl"

"Emma would you like to be a big sister?" asked Sara

"Do i have too?" groaned Emma "it sounds hard"

"It's easy" replied Gil "really you will enjoy being a big sister"

"Fine" sighed Emma "can i go watch Blue Bear now?"

"Only for five more minutes" Sara said "then bath and bed"

"Fine" groaned Emma "as long as Daddy reads me a story"

"I will princess" replied Gil "now go watch Blue Bear"

"Love you Daddy" Emma said smiling and jumping onto her bean bag chair

Meanwhile Sara was some what bilwildered at Emma's response, Emma could when she wanted to be very demanding and Sara feared that was about to get worse when the new baby arrived.

After letting Emma watch the end of Big Bear in the Big Blue House, Sara carried a gigling Emma into the bathroom and into the prepared bath water.

"Now let me get the shampoo" Sara said "your hair is all matted and greasy"

"But i like it that way" moaned Emma "please mommy, leave my hair alone"

"No such luck Princess" Sara said grinning "now where did your daddy put the shampoo?"

While Sara had her back turned Emma got out of the water and found Bruno at the door, Emma climbed onto Bruno's back and Bruno took off running

"HAHA" screamed Emma "Bruno slow down"

"Ooff" exclaimed Gil "hey what are you doing out here, soaking wet and dripping on the carpet?"

"Nothing Daddy" Emma said batting her eyes "it was Bruno's idea"

"I don't think so baby" grinned Gil "now come with me back to the bathroom"

Emma followed her dad back inti the bathroom, finding Sara still searching the bathroom cupboard mumbling to herself

"Why do i let Gil tidy the bathroom up?" groaned Sara "you can never find anything you want afterwards, Emma you ok?"

"Yes Mommy" replied Emma trying not to laugh "having fun there mommy?"

"No" repleid Sara "your daddy was last in this cupboard, where is the shampoo? GIL"

"Yes dear" replied Gil "you enjoying your bath kiddo?"

"Yes daddy" Emma replied winking at her dad "mommy can't find the shampoo"

"It's right there Sara" said Gil "right next to the mouthwash"

"Oh" remarked Sara "i was staring at it the whole time"

"Your funny mommy" giggled Emma

"Yeah i know" sighed Sara "ok you ready for your story?"

"Yes mommy" Emma replied giggling "can i ride Bruno to my bedroom?"

"No sweetheart" Sara replied

Emma with Sara's help climbed out of the tub and walked the short distance to her bedroom where Gil was sat with a gbook full of Children's bed time stories.

"Ok you can go now mommy" Emma said "it's Daddy's turn now"

Sara walked out of the room and stood just outside the door, from experience she knew as soon as Gil said 'Once upon a time' Emma would be asleep

"Daddy don't tell mommy i got out the bath" yawned Emma "Bruno let me ride on him again"

"I won't tell her baby" replied Gil "get some rest and we will see you in the morning"

Gil walked out of the room and closed Emma's bedroom door to come face to face with Sara

"Oh hi honey" Gil said smiling

"So that was why Bruno is wet and there is tiny foot prints in the hall" sighed Sara "you give in too easily to her you know that"

"I do my dear" replied Gil "now time for us to go to sleep"

"But it's only 9pm, oh i see" grinned Sara turning on her heels and sawying her hips into their bedroom
