(A/N: Hey, I'm back! Again I own none of the CSI characters. thanks for your reviews! I'm not as happy with this chapter because less of it wrote itself but I hope you like it! Enjoy!)

The next few days passed quickly, with Sara staying at the Willows-Brown house during the day and hanging out with Grissom at night. Soon it was Friday night. "Gris!" Sara squealed as she ran to hug him. "Sara Girl!" Grissom picked her ups swinging her around into a hug. "Guess what, Gris," Sara said from his hip. "What?" Grissom asked her grinning. Sara pointed to Nick, grinning, "We are going to Nicky's house tomorrow!" "That's right, Beautiful! I can't wait till you guys, come over," Nick said. Setting Sara down, Grissom spoke, "Sara, go to my office I will meet you in there." "Ok!" Sara said before she kissed the team's cheeks and ran off to Grissom's office. "She is really falling perfectly into our little family," Catherine observed. "Yea, even in the short time she has been here she has changed all of our lives, including yours, Grissom!" Greg chuckled. "It's true, Greg. I want to protect her, from any more horrors she might come to see. If its ok with you guys, I want to make sure she can stay with us. Guys, I-I want to be her father; I want to adopt her," Grissom told his team. "That's great, Gris!" Warrick told his friend. Everyone agreed. "Thanks, guys," Grissom said honestly, "Now, Warrick, Cath, you still have to finish your case, right?" Seeing them nod and head to the DNA lab to check on their results, Grissom turned to Nick and Greg, "Boys? Have you finished your B&E at the girl's dorm?" "We shall get right on finishing that!" Greg said nodding to Nick and walking out of the break room door. "Later, Gris!" Nick said following Greg.

Grissom leaned against his office door watching Sara as she was coloring, her crayons and coloring books spread across the floor along with some of his forensic journals. Chuckling Grissom asked, "I send you to be alone for seven minutes and you get into my drawer especially for you and spread it all over my floor!" "Gris!" Sara yelled as she crashed into his waiting arms. "Hey, sweetie!" Grissom said hoisting her on his hip and stepping very carefully around her mess to his desk. "Know what I was doing?" Sara asked, a slight twinkle in her eyes, as Grissom sat down and put her on his lap. "What's that?" Grissom asked her. Jumping down from his lap, Sara pointed out her work. "Cath, Warrick, Greg and Nicky, see their teddies?" Sara asked indicating the stuffed bears they each got her resembling them. Seeing Grissom nod once, Sara continued, "This on the floor is their cases, I'm doing paperwork. Like you!" Sara squealed and jumped back into his lap and hugged him. "Sara, Sweetie? Can I ask you a question? Or more?" Grissom asked running his fingers through her shoulder length brown hair. Sara looked at him worried placing a small hand on his bearded face, "Are you ok, Gris?" Smiling down at the child, Grissom spoke, "I'm fine, sweetheart." Satisfied with his answer Sara complied with his request. "I want you to be safe. I don't want to risk losing you. I want to teach you everything you want me to teach you," pausing to make sure she was looking at him, Grissom continued, "Sara would you like me to adopt you? Will you be my daughter, my little Butterfly?" Sara looked at him unsure, almost scared. "You would be my daddy? Like my first daddy?" Sara whimpered slightly. "No, never! I would never harm even a hair on your head, my child!" Grissom informed her. Sara wrapped her arms around his neck, "Promise?" "I promise, also I will protect you always," Grissom promised. "Forever 'n' ever?" Sara asked hopeful leaning back from him. "Forever and ever AND always," Grissom answered, "That is, if it's ok with you?" "YES!" Sara squealed again, wrapping her tiny arms back around his neck. "I'm glad!" he whispered in her ear.

Several hours later, Sara was curled up on Grissom's couch, asleep with her four teddies. "Aww…" Catherine whispered as she followed Warrick into Grissom's office, "Our double 419: the evidence led us to a murder-suicide. The husband was beyond depressed, he even left a note about his debt and how he did not want to leave that to his wife so he killed her, and then obviously he killed himself." "Hence the murder-suicide, Cath," her husband chuckled at her as he handed the case file to Grissom. "Thanks, guys," Grissom grinned. "If you will, help the guys. They called me a few hours ago, just after Sara went to sleep and informed me their B&E has now become a homicide: their lead suspect has just turned up dead," he added. "Don't worry Gris, with the four of us on the case we shall have it solved by morning," Catherine assured him as she began to drag Warrick out the door. "I know you will!" Grissom responded while rounding the corner of his desk and walking over to sit with Sara, who was stirring slightly. Pulling her into his lap and rocking her, Grissom held her close, whispering, "Shh… Butterfly, I'm here don't worry you are safe." Opening her brown eyes to look into Grissom's blue ones, Sara cuddled closer to him, "Gris? I was thinking: Can I call you Daddy?" Unable to hide it, a huge grin spread across Grissom's face, "Of course, Butterfly!" Grissom held her close again and Sara fell asleep again still holding her teddies in Grissom's lap.

Just before shift was over, Catherine, Warrick, Nick and Greg, having solved the case, walked into Grissom's office to give him the case folder, only to find him asleep with Sara. "Look at them!" Nick said smiling as he reached forward to wake them up. "Wait!" Catherine said grabbing his arm. Pulling out her phone, Catherine snapped a picture of the sleeping pair. Looking at each of the boys in turn, seriousness written all over her face, "No one sees this picture, no one knows about this picture. If, when I give it to him, he wants to share it, he can, but not us!" The trio nodded their heads in understanding. "Good," Catherine said before turning to Grissom, "Gil? Shift is almost over, and we solved the case. It's time to get up, so we can go to Nicky's house." Grissom slowly opened his eyes, sighing at being disturbed when he was sleeping. Standing carefully so as not to wake Sara or drop any of the bears, Grissom whispered, "Ok, I'm up. Cath, may I have Sara's car seat put in my car?" "I got it, Gris," Warrick said. "I take it she agreed?" Nick grinned. Smiling back, Grissom looked down at Sara, "Yes, Nick, Sara is legally going to be my daughter. She will never be taken away from us, ever." "That great, Gris!" Greg said leaning down to kiss Sara's forehead. "So, ready for a party?" Nick asked as they walked to their cars. "Let's go!" Catherine, Greg and Warrick said getting into their cars. "Where's Mandy? I told her to meet me right after work," Nick asked looking around. Grissom chuckled, "About an hour ago, Mandy came into my office sort of freaking out, something about the house not being clean enough or something. I told her if she could work for another half hour, wrap up whatever she was working on, I would let her go home a little early." "Oh," Nick said with an understanding smile, "Well, thanks Gris, but I think she forgot we 'car pool' every day." Grissom chuckled again, tossing Nick his car keys having already buckled Sara in, "Come on, take us, we'll be your 'car pool'." "Alright, Gris," Nick grinned," Let's go!"

Halfway to Nick's house, Sara woke up, "Hi, Nicky! Hi, Daddy! Are we going to your house now, Nicky?" "We sure are, Beautiful! Mandy is finishing cleaning up for us," Nick informed her pretending not to notice her calling Grissom "Daddy". "Yay! I get to see, Mandy!" the young brunette squealed from her car seat. "Warrick is no longer following us," Nick observed. "It's alright you gave him directions. He is probably going to pick up Linds," Grissom assured him. "Lindsey's coming too?" Sara squealed at the thought of her best friend being there. "Of course, Sar, both you and Lindsey are the greatest six year olds I know!" Nick grinned. Sara grinned back. "Sara, would you like to read?" Grissom asked her handing her a book he got just for her. "Yea! Do you want me to read to you?" Sara asked looking between Nick and Grissom. "I would love to hear you read, Sara!" Nick told her.

Sara had finished the book when Nick pulled into his drive way, Catherine, Greg and now Warrick, who finally caught up with them, right after him. "Mandy, Linds, Mandy, Linds," Sara chanted to herself unsure of who she wanted to see more as Grissom chuckled unbuckling her. "Linds!" Sara yelled the moment she saw her, as both girls' feet touched the ground. "Sara!" Lindsey yelled back as she raced to her best friend. "Nicky, time to party!" both girls yelled as they crashed into his legs. Picking them up on either side of him, Nick chuckled, "Sure is girls! Ready to see my house? Follow me guys."

Nick deposited the giggling girls with their dads, after opening the door. Pausing he looked at his team, as if to say watch this.

Grinning Nick started to sing, "Oh Mandy well,
You came and you gave without taking,
But I sent you away.
Oh, Mandy well,
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
And I need you today.
Oh, Mandy!"

Greg, Catherine, Warrick and Lindsey just stared at him. Still smiling Nick spoke, "We have company!" "Coming!" Mandy called. As she came around the corner, Greg, Catherine, Warrick and Lindsey's jaws dropped. Wrapping an arm around his wife, who took Sara into a hug, Nick looked at the four smiling, "You know you can talk anytime." "Well," Catherine began, "Mandy, we knew you were married because of your ring, but I know, I had no idea, you were married to Nick!" Mandy giggled, "Well, we've been married for almost five years." "You mean you guys were married before you even came to CSI, Mandy?" Greg asked. "Yep, Greggo, my wonderful wife, Mandy Alyssa Webster-Stokes," Nick said kissing Mandy's cheek. Mandy called into the kitchen, "Toby! Come here!" "You have a kid too?" Lindsey asked. Even Grissom and Sara were shocked at this, Sara shooting a confused look to Nick from Mandy's hip. A dark haired boy of about fifteen came around the corner holding a three year old with light brown hair down to the middle of her back. "Finally!" the boy spoke, "I was wondering when we would get to me you all. I'm Toby." "Hi!" the girl waved to the team. "Where you married before and we didn't know about it or, what Nicky?" Catherine asked. "Bryon Tobias Stokes is my nephew, the short version is about five years ago he and my brother, Scott, were not getting along very well so he came to stay with me for a summer, and never left! And this," Nick said taking the small girl and tickling her, "Is Lea Mae Webster-Stokes my little girl! She will answer to Le, Lea, or even Lea Mae. Won't you, Baby Girl!" (A/N: If it helps I see Toby, as Drew Torres from Degrassi (Luke Bilyk) and Lea Mae as a much younger version of Jessica Baker, with brown hair not red, from Cheaper by the Dozen (Liliana Mumy).) "Well, I guess I can't be too mad at you bro. I mean I kept my own wife and daughter from you," Warrick told him. Suddenly a smile spread across Catherine's face. "What's so funny, Cath?" Greg asked when her realized she was staring at him. "Well, what's your secret?" Catherine asked him. Greg chuckled shaking his head. "Oh, come on! Cath's got a point, Greggo!" Nick said smiling, "I have a secret family, Cath and Warrick are secretly married, Grissom's gonna be a father. You gotta have one!" "I swear I don't have one!" Greg told them. Everyone except Sara laughed. Greg pretend to pout. Sara walked over to Greg who knelt down in front of her. Wrapping her arms around his neck, Sara kissed Greg's cheek and slightly glared at everyone else, "It's ok, Greggy, I believe you!" "Well, thank you, Beautiful!" Greg said, making everyone laugh again.
