Epilogue
7:30a.m., December 2012, 4 yrs. Later
"Come on kids, let's go to daddy's office and see if he's ready to go. You've got to school in an hour." Sara said as she lead 10 yr. old twins Keri and Gina, and their 3 yr. old brother Kris(the girls had been told in March on their 7th birthday they were gonna be big sisters and that Mommy wasn't gonna work anymore.) down the lab hallway.
"Hi honey, you ready to go?"
Grissom looked up from his mound of paperwork and smiled at his family.
"Almost. Just gotta sign off on this last case and then we have to go to the breakroom for the Santa drawing." Grissom replied, groaning out the last part.
5 mins. later the family walked into the breakroom where everyone, including Doc. Robbins, Dave, Brass, and the lab rats waited.
"Alright, lets get this over with." Grissom moaned as he carried Kris in his arms.
"We gotta wait for Ecklie. He'll be here in a sec." Stated Catherine.
"Hey mini-Griss, gimmie 5" Greg said as he held his hand up for the 3 yr. Old to slap. While the girls took after their mother, Kris was a little clone of Grissom when he was 3 and his mother had the picture to prove it.
"Hope he doesn't take too long, the girls have school soon." Sara said.
"Man look how big you've gotten. I haven't seen you in ages." Nick said to Kris.
The girls chuckled as they rolled their eyes.
"Uncle Nick, you just saw him 3 months ago at his birthday party." Keri reminded him.
"Hey little man, whose that?" Grissom asked his son as they waited for Ecklie.
"Gampa Jim."
"Good and whose that?" he asked pointing to Catherine.
"Auntie Cat"
"And him?"
"Unca Geg"
Just then Ecklie strolled into the room.
"Icky!!" Kris shouted as he pointed to the bald man.
Everyone in the room burst out laughing, but the laughter was short lived as Ecklie silenced them all with a glare.
"That's right Kris, that's Icky" Grissom said as he smirked proudly at Ecklie.
"HA HA Gil, you taught him that on purpose didn't you."
"Nope, that's all him." Grissom replied, still smirking proudly over his son's accurate assessment of Ecklie.
"Alright time to draw the lucky winner" Greg announced as he stuck his hand in the hat and dug around to mix up the papers, "and the lucky winner is...."
Greg pulled out the folded paper, read the name, and turned towards Grissom with a sly smile.
"How would you like decomps for a year Greg?" Grissom asked, knowing the name on the paper. Greg's eyes went wide with fear. Sara took the paper and held it up for everyone to see.
"Sorry bugman, you're it." she smiled.
Sara then took the hat and beard out of the bag of Santa gear sitting on the table and stuck them on Grissom.
"Still adorable." Sara smiled at her husband.
Both girls had a shudder of deja vu as they looked at their father in the hat and beard. Why did they feel like they've seen this sight before?
"Hey Sara, check it out" Greg said as he pointed at the mistletoe hanging from the ceiling, "you know the rules."
Sara looked up at the mistletoe, then smiled at Grissom.
"Well rules are rules" she said as she leaned in for a quick kiss. At that moment Keri had an image pop in her head. It was only a second but she could have sworn she'd seen a similar moment like this before except it was in their living room.
Grissom blushed as the gang whooped and hollered.
"Alright, alright. Time to get the girls to school." Grissom said as he removed the beard but forgot the hat, "I just need to stop by the locker room to change my shirt first. See ya later guys." he finished as he lead his family out of the room.
When they got to the locker room Grissom passed Kris to Sara so he could open his locker and get out a clean shirt. The girls sat on the bench while their father unbuttoned his shirt, the Santa hat still forgotten on his head, with his back to his family.
As he removed his shirt and exposed his bareback, Gina had an image pop through her head. Like with Keri it was only a second but in that moment she saw an image of a bareback, a Santa hat, a headboard to a bed, and a mirror above it with 2 blue dots in it.
She didn't know what the image was of but it felt familiar.
"OK, let's get this boat on the road." Grissom said.
"Daddy, boats don't go on roads and its SHOW on the road." Keri corrected him giggling.
"Oh that's right" Grissom replied, pretending to smack himself in the forehead, "Sorry, long night. Thank you BumbleBee."
Both girls giggled. They knew their daddy was only kidding, after all he IS the smartest men in the whole wide world, and that he liked to pretend to mess up sayings.
Sara drove the family's blue Escape to the school. Grissom sat in the passenger seat, his eyes starting to droop from the long shift, while the kids were in the back seat of course with Kris sitting between the girls in his car sleep fast asleep.
20 mins. later Sara pulled the car up in front of the school.
"OK girls, daddy and I have an appointment with Dr. Petersen at 2 o'clock this afternoon. We should be here in time to pick you up at 3 but just in case we're not here, I want you two too stay put, no wandering off. You understand me?"
"Yes Mommy" they replied in unison.
"Good, I'll call the school if we're running late but I think we'll make it. Have a good day girls."
"Bye Mommy" they chirped.
"Bye BumbleBee, Bye LadyBug." Grissom waved yawning.
"Bye Daddy" they waved back as they turned towards the school.
"Why are they going back to him?" Keri wandered as they walked into the school, "they haven't gone to him since Kris was born."
"I don't know. Maybe they just can't make up their minds which doctor they like better, or maybe when you get old you need 2 doctors?" Gina answered.
2:15p.m.
"OK kids, listen up" announced their teacher Mr. Laakso, "Little change in plans for this afternoon. In 10 mins. you'll be going down to the cafeteria for a health class with the nurse.
"Ohhhh." the class moaned.
The class finished up their work and headed down to the cafeteria.
"Good afternoon kids." Mrs. Cameron, the school nurse, greeted them warmly.
The class mumbled back their greetings as they took their seats on the table benches.
"Now I know you're about to go on Christmas break but this afternoon we're gonna go over some topics that'll we'll discuss in greater detail once a week, for 6 weeks after break." Mrs. Cameron began as she paced back and forth in front of the class.
"We'll be going over the differences between boys and girls, all the way from birth of a baby. We'll be using the slide projector today so if someone could hit the lights we'll get started."
One of the boys closest to the light switches got up and hit the lights.
"Thank you" the nurse said to the boy who simply nodded in response.
The slides were of outline drawings of people ranging from babies to adults, showing the changes in boys and girls as they age. Being children of former and current CSIs, the girls couldn't help but think they looked like chalk outlines at a crime scene.
Everything was going fine as the nurse showed and discussed the slides of babies to teenagers. When she got to the slides of adults, Gina couldn't help but think they looked like naked faceless people cause the outter body drawings of the man and woman did show parts of the outter body even though they were just drawings and not pictures of real people. Gina glanced off to the side and happened to spot a Santa head made out of construction paper on the wall.
The image of the naked Santa reappeared in her mind. This time the image was a little clearer and she could see her mother tied to the headboard. She realized it was a memory of the infamous weekend 4 yrs. ago. Somehow she and Keri had been able to bury those moments deep in their brains. No one in the lab had forgotten though and would tease Grissom and Sara every year, usually Greg.
Just like before Gina could see 2 blue dots in the mirror but the image was still too fuzzy to make out what they were. Gina shook her head to get rid of the image and pay attention to the nurse's discussion and the slides.
Mrs. Cameron began the brief discussion of human reproduction and the image returned. Gina clenched her eyes shut but the image refused to go away. Again she saw the blue dots but she noticed something different about them. She focused her mind on that part of the image.
"Those aren't blue dots, they look like....eyes, blue eyes." Gina thought to herself. The familiar feeling began to wash over her again as the blue eyes reflected in the mirror.
Suddenly another image appeared in her mind. This time it was of her father's smiling face and his piercing blue eyes. The same eyes reflected in the mirror.
Gina's eyes popped open wide as pieces of the puzzle all came together and she paled slightly.
Gina shook her head one last time and the images finally left her. She forced herself to pay attention to the nurse again as she mentioned the gestation time for a human pregnancy.
5 mins. later the bell rang, signaling the end of the day.
"OK kids, looks like that's it for today. Have a nice Christmas break and we'll go back to the beginning and discuss the topics in greater detail."
Keri and Gina left the cafeteria silently together. As soon as they had distanced themselves from the other students, Gina exploded.
"EWWW!! EWWW!! OH GROSS!!, EWWW!! EWWW!!" Gina danced around, shaking her hands in front of her like she was shaking her hands dry, with her eyes closed tight.
"Yeah that was gross wasn't it." Keri said.
"No not that. I just had my brain polluted with the scariest image EVER."
"What?" she asked Gina with her brow arched in typical Grissom fashion.
"Remember 4 yrs. ago when we thought Santa's evil elf had attacked Mommy to make Santa look bad?"
Keri thought for a moment as the dorment memories of what they did to "Santa" resurfaced.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Well I just realized that WASN'T Santa's elf, and he WASN'T hurting Mommy." Gina continued.
"Who was it?"
"It was DADDY, and they were doing....IT" Gina answered.
Keri's eyes grew wide.
"OH GROSS!! NO WAY!! OH EWWW!! NASTY!! Keri exclaimed in disgust, her face looking like she just tasted something awful.
The girls began walking to the main doors when Gina froze.
"What?" asked Keri.
"How long did the nurse say it took till a baby was born?"
"Nine" Keri answered.
"And how long has it been since Kris's birthday?"
"3 months" Keri answered again.
Gina did the math in her head and her eyes grew wide once more.
"OH EWWW!! EWWW!! MEGA GROSS!! EWWW!! EWWW!!" Gina exclaimed as she did her dance again.
"What? What? What is it this time?"
"That means I saw Mommy and Daddy make our brother." She answered, looking like she just tasted something sour, "At least you didn't have to see a scarey sight like that." Gina finished.
"Wanna bet?"
"NO!! You didn't!!"
"Yeah I did."
"When?"
"Well I didn't know it till now but it was 3 mos. ago, a week before Kris's birthday." Keri began as they started walking towards the doors again.
"I had wanted to ask Mommy a question and there they were. They didn't see me. I quickly left. I thought they were just wrestling naked."
Both girls shuttered at their individual memories.
"I'm gonna scrub my brain with a toothbrush and then I'm so becoming a nun." Gina stated.
"Me too." Keri agreed.
"Hey girls, how was your day?" Sara asked as the girls climbed in the backseat, Kris sitting happily in his carseat and playing with a toy bug.
"Fine." both girls answered. They were not about to tell them about the health class or their memories.
"How was the doctor appointment?" Keri asked, changing the subject.
Sara and Grissom smiled at each other.
"We'll tell you at home." Grissom answered as Sara pulled away from the curb.
"No, tell us now, please?" Keri asked.
"Well...." Sara began.

The End
A/N: Well there ya go folks. I hope you enjoyed the traumatization the girls suffered when they realized how they got put on this earth LOL. I don't remember how much they taught us in 5th grade but I do remember them going over the differences and changes young boys and girls go through. Can't remember anything else. Maybe cause my mother happened to be the school nurse and I was probably more concerned with the fact my own mother was there while we were watching the video on the projection screen. Wouldn't you be? I also don't know if 10 yr. olds know how long it takes for my baby but in my story none of them knew. Again I've appreciated receiving reviews and have enjoyed reading them all. I hope you'll leave one more for the epilogue and thanks for reading along.
