"Because she died of alcohol poisoning last year," I said sighing, "That's why I'm happy that Angel has Sara and Catherine in her life now."

"Because she didn't have a mother?" he asked smiling.

"Because living with a gay guy who has a crush on his co-worker and friend is a lot to deal with when you remember your mother also," I said forgetting that Grissom didn't know all of this.

"Wait," he said his eyes wide, "You're gay, but you have a daughter by blood who knows her mother. You also have a crush on a co-worker and friend."

"Yes," I said looking down.

"Who is it?" he said smiling.

"I can't tell you," I said blushing.

"Is he here?" Grissom asked grinning wider.

"Yes," I said in a whisper.

"I knew you liked Nick," he said lowering his voice too.

"Am I really that easily read?" I asked desperately, "Because Angel knows I like him too."

"She is a very smart girl," he said smiling.

"Daddy," Angel said running in being chased by Nick.

Laughing Nick picked her up and started to tickle her. Smiling I laughed along with Grissom as Nick threw Angel over his shoulder and spun. Angel shrieked and tried to get away from Nick.

"Daddy," Angel said tears streaming down his face, "Make him stop."

"Okay," I said smiling more, "Nick, I think that's enough tickle torture."

"Aw," Nick said pouting, "I was having fun with the bunny."

"Its okay," Angel said rubbing her nose against his, "The bunny was having fun too."

"You're so cute," Nick said kissing her cheek.

"Thank you," Angel said yawning slightly.

"Are you sleepy?" he asked lifting her up more.

"Yes," she said cuddling into him, "Stupid nightmare woke me up."

"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked laying her head on his shoulder.

"It was when Daddy was blown up," she said tears filling her eyes.

"Oh hun," I said taking her from Nick, "I'm sorry."

"Please don't leave me," she said crying into my shoulder.

"I will never leave you," I said calmly, "I promise you I will never leave."

"How about you go wash your hands?" Grissom said smiling sadly, "Dinner will be ready when you come back."

"Okay," I said walking with Angel to the bathroom.

When we got in there I washed our hands before picking her up again. Sitting on the toilet I smiled sadly and hugged her tightly to my body. She wrapped her small arms around me before kissing my lips and smiling.

"You know that I will never leave you, right?" I asked leaning my head on hers.

"I know," she said instantly, "But you know that life's too short. You should tell him you like him."

"What if he doesn't like me back?" I said looking at her.

"He does," she said smirking.

"How do you know?" I asked lifting at eyebrow.

"I'm a girl," she said dramatically, "It's what I do."

"Good to know," I said laughing, "Now let's go get some of Grissoms food."

"Okay," she said before jumping down and running out of the room.

Smiling I stood up and looked in the mirror. I loved how Angel looked like me. She didn't look anything like her mother, which I was more then happy for. Standing up I walked out of the bathroom and found Nick talking to Angel.

"What's this?" I asked walking to them, "Are you planning against me?"

"No," Angel said instantly, "We're planning for you."

"And what is it you're planning?" I asked leaning on the wall.

"If we told you then it would ruin it," Angel said rolling her eyes, "How about you two talk about stuff that I'm too young to hear though I already know about it?"

"Can you repeat that?" Nick asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Talk about what we were talking about with Daddy," she said sighing, "Now I get why Mama Catherine is always saying men are oblivious."

"True," I said nodding not realizing what she said yet, "Hey, wait a second."

"Never," she said running away.

Looking at Nick I smiled softly and thought about what they were talking about. Nick rubbed the back of his neck before grinning at me. Sighing I walked so I was standing next to him.

"You heard the lady," I said cockily, "Tell me what you were talking about."

"Would you like to go out with me this Saturday?" Nick asked blushing slightly.

"I would love to," I said grinning.

"Nick, Greg," Catherine yelled, "It's time for dinner."

Nodding to Nick I walked into the dinning room and sat down next to Angel. She turned to me and winked and I knew that she had planned the whole thing out. Shaking my head I leaned over to her and kissed her head.

"Is there something that we're missing?" Sara asked when Nick sat next to me.

"Why do you say that?" Nick asked confused.

"I'm a woman," she said rolling her eyes, "It's what I do."

"So that's where Angel got that from," I said instantly.

"Ja," Angel said nodding.

"No speaking Norwegian with people that understand it around," I said smiling.

"You know Norwegian?" Catherine asked her eyes wide.

"Ja, Papa Olaf taught me," Angel said calmly, "We should go visit him."

"We'll work it out," I said taking some of the mashed potatoes and putting them on her plate.

"Are those vegan friendly?" Angel said glaring at the food.

"All the food is except for the meat," Grissom said passing the food around the table.

"Good," she said nodding, "Do you think that Hodgins would have liked to be here?"

"Maybe," I said shrugging, "But you know that he would have been stupid about it."

"Daddy," Angel said crossing her arms.
