Summary: It started with Lecture, now here's the sequel; Life With The Grissom's.
"Gil, you have to let her grow up sometime."
Gil was sitting on he edge of the bed, his back facing Catherine while he took off his shoes.
"I will. She can go on dates when she's thirty," he replied.
"But she can still have a boyfriend?" Catherine asked.
"Look Cath, if something happens, I don't want to be on the wrong side of the interrogation table. I will kill someone."
Catherine smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
"You know, I love it when you get all father-y." She kissed his neck.
"Cath, I'm serious. I will choke a little boy if they hurt Linds," he said turning around.
"Babe, could you not be so violent. I'm trying to be intimate here." Catherine slid her arms up his neck. Gil kissed her one the lips.
"Sorry."
"She can't be a little girl forever. Letting her have boyfriends… and not threatening them, letting her go out on dates, go to parties, all the works is all apart of life." Catherine's fingers continues to make imaginary patterns on the back of Gil's neck. "She's a good kid and certainly has gained our trust."
"Do I have to?" he asked her.
"Yes." Catherine tilted her head and gave him a 'you know what you have to do' look.
Gil groaned and Catherine smiled and gave him a peck on the lips.
"Lindsey!" Gil yelled.
Lindsey quickly came, "Yes?"
"Sit." Gil patted the bed. Catherine walked out of the room.
"What's up?" she asked.
"I wanted to talk to you."
"About?"
"The movies, you and that one kid."
"I can go?" Lindsey asked widening her eyes.
"Here are the rules; you be home by 10 pm, no kissing, hugging, holding hands."
"Ten?"
"Linds…" Catherine warned her when she re-entered and then disappeared into the bathroom.
"Okay, okay. Ten is fine."
"Oh yeah, no sex either!" Gil said interrupting her.
"Daaadddd!" Lindsey's checks turned red.
"I mean it. None of that stuff and if that kid hurts you in anyway I will hunt him down and kill him in front of his friends."
Lindsey laughed, "I love you too Dad. Thank you." She kissed him on the cheek and hugged him.
"You're welcome Butterfly," he replied, kissing on the temple.
Catherine leaned in to doorframe of the bathroom and smiled as she watched Lindsey dance her way out of their room.
"Woot, woot…"
"Be quiet before you wake up your sister." Catherine said before closing the door.
"Night mom." Lindsey blew her a kiss, "Woot, woot," she whispered.
"That wasn't so hard was it?" she asked Gil.
"Yes, it was." Catherine sat on Gil's lap.
"Just wait until she's in college and she wants you to meet her boyfriend… or her fiancé."
"Lets get over the whole date thing first," he replied, "I think I'm going to take a nap. You want to join me?"
"I'm not tired. I guess I'll go make Jordan's bottles for tonight."
"Who said that we had to sleep?" Gil asked. In one swift move he had Catherine pinned under him.
Catherine wrapped her legs around his waist and slid her hands up his chest and around his neck.
"What did you have in mind?" she asked. Gil covered her lips with his and replied, without words.
"That's him!" Lindsey jumped at her mother's vanity table.
"HE HAS A CAR?!" Gil yelled from downstairs.
"Be still." Catherine let the curling iron curl Lindsey's hair a few more seconds. "There."
"Do I look okay Mom?" Lindsey looked at her mother through the mirror.
"You look beautiful honey." Catherine rested her head on Lindsey's. "Come on, let's go before your father scares him away."
"Oh god."
"This is a nine millimeter. It has a nice shot." Gil turned off the safety on his gun. "I go to the shooting range sometimes, you know. Work on my aim." Gil pointed to gun towards his TV and closed his left eye.
"Gil!" Catherine rushed over and grabbed the gun from him before Lindsey could see. "Hi. I'm Catherine, Lindsey's mom." Catherine greeted him.
"Hello. I'm Josh Leeman." Josh said nervously. Catherine turned to quickly glance at her husband.
"Sorry if he scared you. He forgot to take his medicine." She put the back on safety and sat it on the table.
"Hey Lindsey." Josh said kissing her on the cheek. Gil cleared his throat. Lindsey gave her dad pleading eyes.
"You ready to go?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied relieved.
"Kay. Night Mom. Night Dad."
"Good night guys. Be careful." Catherine called out as they walked out the door. Once the door was closed she turned and took the opportunity and hit Gil on the chest.
"What is wrong with you?" she asked.
"What? I was showing him my gun." Gil shrugged his shoulders.
"That is MY gun. You lost yours."
"He was interested."
"Terrified. If he doesn't go on a second date with her; its your fault." She pointed at his chest and went back upstairs.
"Sorry if my dad did anything crazy." Lindsey said once they were inside Josh's car.
"Its okay. Worried dad. You should have seen my dad when my sister went out on her first date. He showed him all of his trophies from hunting."
Lindsey let out a laugh, breaking her nerves. Her date was going to be fun.
"Tell her I said goodnight," Catherine said into her phone to Jordan's babysitter. "Alright. Bye Crystal." She shut her phone and set it on the table in the CSI break room.
"Hey," Warrick said coming in the break room and going to the fridge.
"Hey Warrick."
"How was your night off?" he asked.
"Great. Slept in and took Jordan to the zoo," she replied.
"How is she?"
"She's fine. She's growing so fast. How's Tina?"
"Woman's getting on my nerves," he said jokingly. "No she's fine. Her parents are coming to visit next week."
"Oh. Meeting the parents. Fun." Catherine said before taking a sip of her coffee. "Lindsey's date got to meet the parents to night also."
"Lindsay's out on a date?" Warrick asked.
"Yup."
"What's his name?" he asked. Catherine creased her eyebrows.
"No. You are not going to look him up. He's only sixteen."
"Sixteen?" he asked.
"She's only 112 days shy of being sixteen also."
"I hope she informs him that if he messes up there will be four guys after him." Catherine laughed at his protectiveness of Lindsey. He, Nick and Greg were that way. They didn't have kids of their own and the Grissom's were their family.
"Yooo!" Greg said entering the break room with the rest of the team behind him.
"Hey guys." Catherine said.
"Assignments. Nick, Greg and Warrick with me. And Sara and Catherine on a 419 in Henderson."
"Battle of the sexes?" Catherine asked raising her eyebrows at Sara. Sara took their assignment paper and headed to the locker room, Catherine following.
"What's our assignment, Gris?" Nick asked leaning against the table, his arms folded.
"It's a case that Catherine can never ever know about," he said.
All three of the guys looked confused.
"Meet me on my office in ten minutes."
