Jackson is my original character, but I don't own CSI.

I got to thinking about how Jackson might celebrate Mother's Day with Morgan and, possibly, with Riley. So I thought I would write a story and see what happens. Hope you all enjoy...and please review!

Jackson Sanders held on to his father Greg's hand as they walked through the flower shop. He liked looking at the different arrangements and flowers that decorated the shop.

"Why are we here, daddy?" He asked his father.

"Because I want to send some flowers to your Nana," Greg said with a smile. "And maybe get something special for your mama."

"Why?"

"Because it's almost Mother's Day," Greg said with a smile.

"Oh," Jackson said. "So we get dem flowers for Mother's Day?"

"Well, you can get them flowers," Greg replied. "Some people like to make their mother's breakfast or take them out to eat, some people get them flowers, and some buy them presents." Kneeling in front of his son, Greg said, "I'll bet you would like to draw mama a picture."

"Yeah, dat sounds good," Jackson said with a nod. Thinking for a minute, Jackson asked, "Daddy, why doesn't my real mommy come visit me?"

Greg looked into his son's beautiful eyes. "I don't know, Jacks. I know you miss her."

Jackson nodded. "I don't know why she doesn't wanna see me."

As much as Greg wished he could have been there from the time Jackson was born, he also wished he could take away all of his hurt. "I don't know either, Jacks. You are the most wonderful gift I've ever gotten, and I love you."

"I love you," Jackson said, looking into his father's eyes.

Greg thought for a moment. "I've got an idea. Do you want to draw a picture for your mommy?"

Jackson looked up at his father. "Can I, daddy?"

"Of course!"

Greg and Jackson found a pretty bouquet of some of Greg's mother's favorite flowers, and a bouquet of pink roses for Morgan. Jackson loved picking out the flowers and smelling their sweet fragrance.

When they picked out the card, Greg and Jackson wrote, to the best mom and nana, love Greg and Jackson.

"I think Nana will like her flowers," Jackson said as the florist completed the order.

"Yeah?" Greg asked. "You think Morgan will like hers?"

"Uh-huh," Jackson said. "Dey pretty!"

They arrived home and Morgan was fixing spaghetti for dinner. Greg held a finger to his lips to silence Jackson while he walked up behind her.

Greg cleared his throat and pulled the bouquet from behind his back. Jackson smiled when Morgan's face lit up. "Happy Mother's Day, Mama!"

"Aw, thank you," Morgan said with a wide smile as she looked at the pink roses. "They're beautiful! Thank you." She gave Greg a sweet kiss.

"Mama, dey pretty," Jackson said.

Morgan smiled at her adopted son. "Yes, they are. They're so pretty." She leaned down and kissed Jackson's forehead.

"What do you think, Jacks?" Greg asked. "They as pretty as mama?"

Jackson shook his head and giggled. "Nope!"

The family enjoyed dinner and Jackson seemed to be wearing more food than he got in his mouth.

"Mama, are you gunna send your mommy flowers?" Jackson asked.

"I think I might," Morgan said. "I'll definitely send her a card."

"We sent Nana a big bunch of flowers," Jackson said.

"Yeah, and Jacks helped sign the card," Greg said.

"You did?" Morgan asked, and Jackson smiled and nodded.

"Yeah," Jackson said. "It says dat we love her an' she's da bestest!"

Morgan and Greg smiled at the sweet little boy. "That's wonderful," Morgan said. "I'm sure she'll love it."

Greg handed Jackson a napkin to wipe his face. "Does any food ever make it into your mouth, Jacks?"

Jackson giggled. "Yep! I like spaghetti!"

Morgan smiled at the father and son. Even if she wasn't Jackson's biological mother, she couldn't love him any more if she was.

Jackson looked at Morgan. "Mama, is it okay if I send my mommy a card?"

Morgan and Greg smiled sadly. Leaning forward to look into Jackson's beautiful brown eyes, Morgan said, "I think that's a good idea."

Jackson thought for a moment. "She's still my mommy, but you here an' take care of me an' daddy."

Greg smiled. "That's right. She loves us both so much."

Morgan smiled at the two men she loved. "That's right. I love you both very much. And you know how your daddy always says you are his best gift ever?" Jackson nodded. "Do you remember when I told you that you are very important to me?" Again, Jackson nodded. "Well, it's true. You are sooooo important to me, and I love you and your daddy both very, very much."

Jackson smiled at Morgan. "I love you very, very, very, very much too!"
