Shortly after falling asleep I could feel little hands touching my face and arms. I sat there eyes closed listening to them chat.

"Lilly stop that" Elyse asked "You will wake our Aunt Sara up"

"Sorry just checking she's real" The innocent six year old replied "What happens now Ellie?"

"We wait" Elyse responds sighing "Is there anything to eat in this place, right that's it we are going to find food, come on Lilly"

"No Ellie we stay here, besides we don't know where we are" Lilly remarked sitting down beside me "Do you think Mr Grissom will be here soon, I like him!"

"Lilly he's working on a case" Elyse replied "I wonder if there's any food in this fridge here?"

"Yea I'm hungry!" Lilly groaned rubbing her belly "Should we wake Aunt Sara?"

"Let her sleep" Elyse replied "Now we have packets upon packets of Jelly babies and a cheese sandwich, not an awful lot then"

"Can I have the Jelly babies please?" Lilly asked placing one in her mouth "Eww these taste off"

"That's because you have just eaten a chocolate covered grass hopper" I say opening my eyes "Perfectly harmless"

"Aunt Sara I don't feel to good" Lilly moaned rubbing her tummy and turning green.

Before me or Elyse could hand her a bin she threw up all over Ecklie's shoes, Elyse howled with laughter Lilly looked up at Ecklie and started to cry.

"Sidle get those kids out of this building now!" Ecklie demanded causing Elyse to stop laughing and join her sister crying.

I stand up put my face directly in front of Ecklie's and say "You have no chance of these girls leaving this lab, they are part of a case and they also happen to be my nieces, so if you don't want a harassment case looping over your head I suggest you back off now!"

Surprisingly Ecklie walked, well not walked more like hobbled down the corridor, leaving me with the task of calming down two sobbing children.

"Lilly Elyse come here" I ask holding out my arms "I will never let anyone hurt you, your mom and dad would want that"

"We were in a accident coming to see you" Elyse explained sniffing "We were ok, I guess that's why we are here, but we don't know anything about our mom and dad, are they dead?"

"I honestly don't know" I reply after all it was the truth "As soon as I know anything I'll let you know"

"Aunt Sara if you know, like our mom and dad do die, can we stay with you?" Elyse asks fiddling with her jumper.

"Oh girls of course I would, but you would have to share me with Gil and our baby" Sara replied hugging both girls tightly.

"You mean I won't be the baby of the family anymore?" Lilly enquired looking up at me "If so that's cool"

I was about to reply when I see Gil and the team making their way to the break room, Elyse and Lilly also spotted Gil and ran towards him arms out at the ready.

"Gil Gil you're here" Lilly exclaimed gripping his leg "Hi"

"Hi Lilly hi Ellie" Gil replied placing his arm on Elyse's head "Come on back to the break room"

Elyse and Lilly run back towards the break room and sit beside me on the couch, everyone sits down at the table and look at me and the girls, I can sense that Catherine has a question but stops as soon as Gil starts talking.

"Sara as you know the reason we wanted you to look after the girls is because your related to them" Gil explains looking around the room "The reason you couldn't come to the scene was because it involved, it involved I'm sorry"

"Sara it involved a Mark and Kerry Sidle" Catherine continued "I'm sorry Sara there is no other way to say this but they didn't make it"

"No not my daddy!" Lilly wailed burying her head into my tummy "Mommy I want mommy!"

"Sara?" Elyse sobbed also burying her head into my tummy "Uncle Gil hug me"

Gil opened his arms for the young teen, which Elyse gladly accepted. Gil rubbed soothing circles on Elyse's back as I did the same to Lilly. The team sat in despair they didn't know what to do for the best, but just being there helped.
