Do not own CSI or any of the characters.
Just Another Day-
"Hey," smiled Sara into the phone. "I'm just arriving at the lab now."
"Okay, good. I will be there in fifteen or so," replied Grissom on the other end. "Court just let out but I want to head home and change out of this bloody suit."
Sara couldn't help but laugh at this. "Okay, Mr. Grissom. But don't be too long."
"I won't!" answered back Grissom.
"See ya in a few," replied Sara, as she hung up the phone and pulled into the parking lot of the Las Vegas Crime Lab. Turning off the engine of the car, Sara unbuckled her seatbelt and grabbed her purse. It seem liked any other day. That she was arriving here to go to work. Getting out of the car, she moved her way to the backseat and opened the door.
"Hey, there," she cooed down at the little person that had become her life for the past three months. Jesse's brown eyes looked up at this mom's face, studying it intensely like he did. Then all the sudden, his little face broke out into a gum less grin. Sara leaned down and kissed the tip of his nose while she began to unbuckle his car seat. Sara had fallen into motherhood, surprisingly well. She had never imaged herself as a mother, however now that she was one; she wouldn't have it any other way.
Placing the carrier into the crook of arm, she then reached for the diaper bag which was on the floor of the backseat. Swinging it over her arm, along with her purse, Sara closed the door of the car. Taking a deep breath, she looked down at Jesse.
"It's now or never right," she smiled down at him before making her way towards the lab.
This wouldn't be the first time that the team would be meeting her son. But this was his first time, coming to the lab.

"Okay, everyone let's take a break!" spoke Catherine, looking around the break room and smiling at the three guys looking back at her. They had been working on this kidnapping case for almost 20 hours or so. They needed to take a break and clear their heads. While they were at the lab going over the evidence, both the Day shift and Swing shift teams had been called in. Everyone was looking for this little boy.
All three men nodded their heads at her, agreeing.
"Where's Grissom?" asked Greg, finally realising who was missing from their group. Usually he would be the first one here, looking at every possible piece of evidence, trying to figure out where this little boy was. It seemed that cases like these where the ones that effect Grissom the most and he tried extra hard to solve.
"Court!" replied Sara standing in the doorway, grinning at her coworkers.
All four looked up at her surprised. "SARA!" cried Greg, a grin appearing on his face. The young CSI rose to his feet and made his way over to where Sara stood in the doorway of the break room. He threw his arms around her. Sara couldn't help but laugh at this as; she wrapped her free arm around him and hugged him back.
"What are you doing here?" asked Catherine as she too made her way over to Sara.
"Well, I have plans to meet Gil for lunch and we just thought that we would put in and see how the nightshift team is doing," replied Sara as she broke away from Greg and smiled at the older woman.
"We?" asked Nick confused.
"Jesse and me!" grinned Sara, lifting up the carrier and placing it on the table, so that Jesse could be seen and admired by everyone.
"You brought the baby!" cried Catherine looking from Sara's face, to down at the sleeping one of the baby. As Catherine unbuckled the baby from the car seat and lifted him up into her arms, Warrick came around to Sara and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"It's good to see you girl," he spoke to her.
Sara looked away from where her co-worker was smiling down at her son and up into the warm green eyes of Warrick.
"It's good to see you too!" she replied back, smiling up at him. Sara loved motherhood but she did miss this; hanging out with her coworkers, who were also her dear friends.

Stepping out into the harsh Las Vegas sunlight, Grissom raised a hand and shield the light away from his eyes. Court had just ended and he was on his way home before heading over to the lab and meeting Sara and his son for lunch. It had taken him a while to warm up to the idea of fatherhood but he was slowly starting to fall into place with it.
Walking across the parking lot of the courthouse, Grissom began to pull at the knot of his tie; loosening it. He was glad he was done with court for the day. However has realization dawned on him, he frowned. He now had to go back to the lab and work on that missing person's case. Cases involving children had always affected him in the past but now having Jesse's in his life; he was more determined them ever to find his missing boy alive. It could easily be his son who had gone missing in the middle of the night; taken away from the warmth of his crib. From the safest place, his home.
Grissom had told Sara little of this case; she only really knew that it had been a kidnapping. She didn't know that it was of a five year old boy, named Sheppard, who had been asleep in his bed when someone had come in and taken him from his house. He didn't want to scare her. She was finally at a peaceful, happy time in her life with being a mom. He didn't want to ruin that. He had seen how cases like these had destroyed Sara. Even know she was not working as a CSI at the moment, Grissom knew that somehow this case could affect her.
Climbing into the driver's seat of the car, Grissom threw the now loose tie onto the passenger seat. Unbuttoning the first few buttons on his shirt; he placed the key into the extinction and started it up. As he pulled out of the parking lot, he reached out and began to turn the knob of the radio; trying to find a station.
Something caught his ear as he turned on the news station; leaving this station on, Grissom lowered his hand back on the steering wheel and listened as the news reporter spoke.
"This just in, five gun men have stormed into the Las Vegas Criminal Lab and have taken the building hostage!"
