Disclaimer: I don't own the CSI characters. Wish I did but I don't. I do however lay claim to Alisha Richardson, Addi Thompson, Daniel Richardson and Sarah Richardson and any other minor OC's I forgot. If you would like to borrow them asked nicely. Brittni Caine is used with permission from one of my friends.

This is the sequel to Finally Getting It Right. If you haven't read FGIR I strongly suggest you do read it as this story starts the morning after FGIR ends and there are numerous references to what occurs in FGIR.

On that happy note, please read, review and enjoy.

Everything's OK…Maybe

Chapter One

Alisha Richardson stood in her boyfriend's kitchen, trying to figure out the coffee maker. All she wanted was hot water. Ryan had said it could do that function. Alisha finally threw up her hands and filled the coffee cup with water from the tap and set in the microwave.

Ryan Wolfe, Alisha's boyfriend, appeared at that moment, hair still wet from his shower.

"Couldn't figure it out, could you?" he teased, kissing Alisha on the lips.

Alisha did her famous nose wrinkle and made a face. "I've never seen a coffee maker with that many buttons before," she retorted.

Ryan chuckled. "So when is your friend's flight coming in?" he asked, changing the subject.

Alisha grinned. The excitement she felt over seeing her friend Addi Thompson again was only dimmed by the circumstances of why he was coming to Miami. Alisha's stalker had found her and traveled to Miami in violation of his parole. Gary had been arrested the night before and Addi was coming to be California's representative in the court case. When the time came Addi would also escort Gary back to California.

"He said around eleven," Alisha answered, taking her cup of hot water out of the microwave and plunking a tea bag into it.

Ryan made a face at the tea and programmed the coffee maker to make coffee.

A cell phone rang. It was Alisha's.

"Richardson," she said in that professional, snappy way of hers.

"Britters," Alisha said happily, a smile blossoming on her face. It was Alisha's best friend, Brittni Caine.

Ryan had spent the last three months falling in love with that smile, with Alisha.

Alisha laughed at something Brittni said as she sat down at the kitchen table with her tea. "Of course. What do you think?" Alisha winked at Ryan, who was still waiting for his coffee.

Ryan gave her a puzzled look.

"So onto other things," Alisha said smoothly. "I'm thinking that a party is in order to celebrate the end of Gary once and for all. Any ideas?"

Ryan poured himself a cup of coffee and sat down across from Alisha.

"It has to have dancing," Alisha said suddenly.

Ryan groaned. "Remember the last time we went dancing?" he asked.

Alisha grinned at him, not embarrassed in the slightest at the memory of the first twelve hours they knew each other. "How I could I forget?"

Ryan shook his head at Alisha's mischievous grin. He could hardly believe the transformation that had taken place in his girlfriend since they learned Gary had been arrested. She was a little less serious now. At least for the moment.

"No, no, no," Alisha's voice pulled Ryan out of his thoughts. "Just the team and maybe Tripp. Definitely Ad since he'll be in town."

A pause.

"I don't think Danny will be able to make it down," Alisha said.

A short pause.

"Sarah's pregnant."

Ryan could hear Brttni's squeal.

Alisha held the phone away from her ear. "Calm down, Britters," she lightly scolded her friend. "I know it's exciting but I would like my ear in one piece please."

Ryan glanced at his watch. He realized that they needed to leave to go pick up Alisha's friend.

Ryan caught Alisha's eye and tapped his watch.

She nodded and quickly told Brittni she had to go get Addi and she'd see her at the lab later that day.

"How come you let me talk so long?" Alisha wailed, scrambling to find her purse.

"Sorry. Didn't realize how late it had gotten," Ryan apologized, holding the door for Alisha.

"Do you see him?" Alisha asked anxiously, trying to peer over the crowd.

Ryan gave her a look. "Alisha, I don't know what he looks like," Ryan stated.

Alisha stopped looking for Addi and looked up at Ryan sheepishly. "Opps. Sorry, Ry."

Ryan shrugged. "It's OK."

Alisha rose on her tip toes and brushed her lips against Ryan's.

"No, it's not OK," Alisha whispered as she drew away. "I love you, Ryan."

Ryan couldn't take his eyes off her. "I love you too."

"Aww. Isn't this sweet?" said a voice from behind Alisha.

Alisha rolled her eyes. "Go away, Addi. I'm having a moment with my boyfriend." Alisha did look a little irritated at the interruption.

Addi laughed. "Don't I at least get a hug before you start yelling at me?"

Alisha smirked and turned around.

Addi was tall and lean. His black hair was starting to gray at the temple. His dark eyes were lit by silent laughter.

"You never did have good timing," Alisha sniffed before giving Addi a hug.

"You were always the one with the bad timing, Rini," Addi retorted.

Alisha laughed. "Addi, meet Ryan Wolfe, probably the most wonderful man I've ever met. Ryan, this is the famous Addi Thompson."

The two men regarded each other carefully. It was the first time they meet and both were protective of Alisha.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Wolfe," Addi said, all teasing gone from his voice.

Ryan nodded. "Likewise."

Alisha was frowning. There was no way two of the most important men to her could not like each other! It would make life unbearable.

"Well, how 'bout we go get Ad's luggage and then head over to HQ?" Alisha suggested brightly, hoping to gloss over the fact that Ryan and Addi didn't seem to like each as much as Alisha had hoped.

"Sure, Rini," Addi said, smiling at her.

Alisha wrinkled her nose. "Don't call me that. I'm mad at you."

Ryan slipped his arm over Alisha's shoulders and steered her towards the baggage claim area. Addi walked along on the other side of Alisha.

"So when did you start going gray, Bear?" Alisha asked curiosity getting the best of her.

"When I meet you, Minx," Addi answered with a smirk.

Alisha rolled her eyes. "Whatever. While you're down here we're gonna fix that though. You're not old enough to be going gray."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ryan chuckled at the sarcasm in Addi's voice. He might like this man yet.

Alisha poked Addi in the side as they walked into HQ. "Stop calling me that. I'm still mad at you," Alisha whined.

Addi laughed. He loved to drive Alisha crazy. Just like Alisha loved to drive him crazy.

Ryan trailed along behind the two, thinking. The whole time since Addi had met them in the airport neither Alisha nor Addi had brought up Gary. The two had just bantered like old friends do. Teasing each other, needling each other, having fun.

Calleigh turned the corner running almost into Addi and Alisha.

"Calleigh," Alisha said brightly. "Just the woman I was looking for. I would like you to meet my friend and California's representative in the Lane case, Addi Thompson. Addi, this wonderful lady is Calleigh Duquesne."

"It's nice to you, Miss Duquesne," Addi said politely.

Ryan's eyebrows rose almost to his hair line. Addi and Calleigh? Now that was an interesting picture.

Alisha turned slightly so she could look at Ryan. "Did you hear that?" she mouthed.

Addi noticed her silent communication with her boyfriend. "Are you talking behind my back?" he demanded to know, hands on hips.

Alisha gave him an innocent look. "Of course not Addi. Why would I do a thing with that?" Alisha could be a convincing liar when she wanted to be.

Addi sighed. "Just don't do that on the stand, OK?"

Alisha brightened. "Of course not, Bear. Now you go have fun with Calleigh looking at evidence."
