Chapter 3
New York City- Crime Lab
Mac walked into the break room were the rest of his team were waiting for him to hand out their assignments for that day.
"Hey everyone." Mac said as he entered.
"Hey Mac what do you have for us today?" Danny asked
"Well Danny there will be no cases today, we are all going to a conference here and the Las Vegas team and Miami team should both be arriving soon, then we will head to the hotel where the conference will be held. Horatio Caine is bringing his wife with him and Catherine Williows is bringing her 12 year old daughter Lindsay and the Las Vegas team is also bringing one of their lab techs and one of their detectives as well. So I want every one do get ready for their arrival. Before I forget both of the teams are staying extra time here in New York for vacation. They will be leaving a couple of days after New Years. Payton and Flack will both being joining us as well.
"Wow, that's a lot of people Mac." Lindsay said
"I want you guys to be on your best behaviour and please make them feel welcome."
"Lindsay I want you do remember that Catherine's daughter's name is also Lindsay so we will have to come up with something so we can remember whose who."
"Ok, Mac."
Mac was heading gout of the door so he can meet his guests at the front door when he stopped and turned a round.
"One more thing, we are getting a new member of the team, so make her welcome and here she is now." At that moment Aidan walked into the room.
"Hey guys, what's been happening?"
Danny looked up and was surprised to see one of his best friends standing in front of him.
"Aid what are you doing here?"
"Well Mac hired me back, said the team was not the same with out me."
"That for sure Aidan, welcome back." Stella said and went up and gave her a hug.
"So I hear that we are gaining two more teams."
"Yah, form Las Vegas and Miami." Hawkes said
"Hey babe." Aidan walked over and placed a kiss on his lips.
"Hey Aid."
"Aidan, this is Lindsay, she started after you left.
"Nice to meet you Lindsay."
"You too Aidan. I have herded many wonderful things about you. So glad I can put a face to a name."
"Well have herded a lot about you as well from Danny of course."
They both start to laugh.
Front Door
Mac was waiting by the front door for his guests to arrive when a car pulled up out side the building. Mac walked out side to see which team had arrived first.
The car came to a stop out side the crime lab and Grissom and his team got out. Grissom saw Mac standing by the door and approached him.
"You much be Mac Taylor."
"Yes that's me and you much be Dr. Gil Grissom."
"Yah and this is my team."
"Well welcome to New York, We are just waiting for the Miami team then we will head inside got to know everyone then we will head to the hotel."
"That sounds good."
At that point another car pulled up to a stop in front of the building and Horatio Caine and his team got out of the car.
"Nice to see you again Mac."
"You too lieutenant."
"Well we are all here so why don't we head to the break room and we can all get aquatinted."
They all followed Mac into the building and into the break room were they saw many people sitting around.
Mac entered the break room and everyone looked up to see the new people.
"Everyone is here so let's get to know each other a bit before we leave. My team will start and I will start with myself."
"I am detective Mac Taylor and I am the head of the swing shift of the New York Crime Lab."
"I am Stella Bonasara."

"We since everyone knows everyone's name and which team they are on we will just register at he hotel then we do not have to be back for tomorrow when the conference starts. We will just get to know each other over the rest of the day."
They all headed to the hotel where the conference will be held to sing in and to get their rooms. After everyone was singed in the Las Vegas and Miami teams had gotten their room keys they headed out for a group lunch.
They were all sitting in Central Parking eating hot dogs or veggie dogs for those who are vegetarians. They were all sitting in a circle so it would be better for everyone to see each other and ask questions.
"Sheldon you said you are a doctor, what kind of doctor are you?" Sara said.
"Sara you can just call me Hawkes and to answer your question I am an MD. I use to be
the ME before I decided I loved being in the field."
"That's really cool."
"So Gil what type of doctor are you?" Asked Stella
"Stella you can just call be Grissom or Gris, but I am an entomologist so that is a PHd.
"So you like bugs."
"No that means he Loves bugs." Nick said.
Everyone just broke out laughing.
"So Hawks are you and Aidan dating because you have not stopped touching her since you finished your hot dog?" Greg asked.
"Yah we are two months and I propose to her this morning."
The team from New York just looked at them in shock.
"Did you guys know that they were dating?" Cath asked.
"No we did just the proposing think came as a shock." Stella said.
"So I heard that you guys are going to be here until a couple of days after New Years. Wouldn't it be hard for you to be gone for such a long time from your partners if you have them?" Lindsay asked.
"Not really I have got my husband here." Marisol pointed out
"Natalia and I are dating so that is not a problem and we do not have any other family in Florida and the team is basically are family." Ryan said
"Natalia how long have you and Ryan been dating?" Aidan asked.
"3 months."
"That is great."
"Anyone else who is leaving their loved ones back home to be here for two months?" Stella asked.
"Well Wendy and I have been dating for 1 month now and we also consider our team our family and we are not originally from Las Vegas so we do not have any family there."
"Girssom and I have been dating for 2 months as well and we do not have any family here either. We are just on big family on our shift." Sophia said.
"Well looks like there are a lot of inner office relationships going on." Cath said.
"More then you know." Danny said quietly but still everyone heard him. Lindsay elbowed him in the stomach.
"What was that Danny you really need to speak up." Stella said.
"Nothing Stel."
"Nothing my ass. No you tell us what you said."
Danny looked over toward Lindsay and she just nodded her head yes.
"I said there are more then you know."
"More then we know what?" Stella said
"More inner office relationships then you know."
"That is an interesting statement Danny, would you like to elaborate on it." Stella said
"No that is fine."
"Danny I was not asking you, I was telling you."
"Stella…"
"Do not Stella me, no start talking."
"Lindsay and I have been married for 4 months and dated for 6 months before." While Danny was saying that Lindsay unclasped the chain that was around her neck and slipped off her engagement ring and wedding ring and put them on her left ring finger.
"WHAT!" All of the team from New York said. The rest just started laughing
"Montana and I have been married for 4 months."
"We got that part we just don't get how you hid that from us for almost a year." Stella said.
"Please tell me that is all that you have been hiding from us because I do not know how many more surprise I can take in one day."
Danny looked over toward Lindsay.
"Montana why don't you have the honour of telling them this part."
"Fine Danny."
"Oh no please do not tell me what I think you are going to tell me."
"I am four months pregnant."
"How did I know that you were going to say that?" Stella said
"Good you guys have a lot of drama. We do not have half of that in Miami. How about you?" Calleigh said and turned toward the Vegas team.
"I think we may have a little bit more considering we have been through a lot." Warrick said."
"Lindsay if you need any advise or help just come to me, I have done it before has you can see." Cath pointed toward her daughter Lindsay.
"Thanks Catherine."
"Is that offer available to me as well." Marisol asked.
"You're pregnant as well."
"Yah four months, honeymoon baby."
"So you and Horatio have been married for four months."
"Yah."
"How did you meet?"
"We met because my brother Eric works with him and I was going through chemo and Eric had a little trouble their and Horatio started coming to my treatments, but I am in remission so everything seems to be going well."
"Wow that is a great story to tell your kids when they are older."
"That's for sure." Eric said
Everyone just started laughing.
"Is there any more secrets that we need to know about, does not matter from which team." Mac asked
Nick looked at Sara and she gave him the go head.
"Sara and I are engaged and she is three months pregnant."
"Ok this is just weird. Please do not tell me that the rest of the women are also pregnant, because if they are that will be just freaky." Greg said
"Well as far as I know I am not." Cath said.
"Me as well." Sophia said
"Me too." Wendy said.
"That goes for me as well." Stella said
"And me Payton put in."
The other three had not said anything.
Stella just looked between all three of them.
"Ok guys, so you did not say anything because you are not sure if you are pregnant or not. Am I correct?" Stella said
"I am not sure I had a pregnancy scare last year when I was with my ex-boyfriend but it ended up being the flu." Natalia said."
"Ok how about you guys." Stella pointed toward Aidan and Calleigh.
"I'm not sure, my boyfriend and I never talked about having kids, but no I am not pregnant if you guys wanted to know, but hearing Sara, Lindsay and Marisol talk about being pregnant… I do not know, I always wanted to have children but…I do not know." Calleigh said.
"Aid what about you?" Danny asked
"I am not sure yet, have not gotten by test results back yet. Sheldon and I went the other day to my doctor's they have not called back yet."
"Ok what with all the baby stuff." Ryan asked
Everyone just started laughing.
"Anything else we need to know." Grissom asked
"Well since we have been telling secrets, Calleigh and I have been dating for 8 months." Eric said.
"Any more?" Mac asked
"Warrick and I have been dating for 5 months with the blessing of my daughter of course."
"Ok I think that covers everyone here so no more secret relationships or babies?" Horatio asked.
"No everyone said at the same time.
They all just sat around in Central Park the rest of the day and got to know each other a bit more and them headed to the hotel to have dinner and to sleep since they had a buys day tomorrow.
