Party fight

September 2007

"Jen can you take Katie?" Greg gestured at his tie and the fact that Katie had gotten it in her hands and got it in her mouth. Jenna shrugged and took the baby from him and wiped the drool off her face with a towel. Greg took his tie off and started to look for another one that would match his suit.

They were getting ready for Katie's Christening and Greg was a little nervous, he was meeting Jenna's extended family for the first time and they were going to introduce his family to her family. He got another tie out of the closet and started to get it on. Jenna put Katie on the bed and handed her a toy so she wouldn't fuss while they finished getting ready. Gabriel jumped on the bed on laid next to Katie, so far the cat and baby had been getting along and it was normal for the cat to sleep by Katie's crib when she was napping and to glare at people who came to close to the baby. Jenna started doing her hair and Greg sat down on the bed and started putting his shoes on. Katie let out a happy shriek and tried to wiggle her way over to him.

"Hey rolly polly today is your special day. So how many people are coming to this again?" His family for all intents and purposes really weren't religious so it was still a little weird going to church. Jenna shrugged and put some earrings in.

"We'll your family and friends, my family and friends and people I haven't seen since Frankie and Karen got married. I like to call them 'family function family.' They come to Christenings, Quinceañeras, weddings and funerals. Other than that, I never really see them." Jenna went and sat on the bed and started poking Katie in her belly causing the baby to give her little giggles.

"Relax, trust me my mom has told them so many great things about you, if you knew about them your ego would explode. Come on, help me get wiggles dressed." Jenna picked Katie up and Greg followed them down the hall into Katie's room.

Greg changed her diaper and than Jenna got Katie into her white Christening dress and than she brushed Katie's hair and put it into pigtails. Greg took Katie back from Jenna and smiled at her. She was getting a little bigger and was trying to sit up on her own and was starting to get a bit more vocal about things and she was babbling at Greg and trying to get his tie.

"Oh you are such a pretty little girl. Everyone is going to fall head over heels for you," said Greg and he started to tickle her and was rewarded with a big toothless grin and a bunch of giggles.

"Ok you two; let's get this show on the road. We got to get your parents and grandparents from the airport yet." Jenna picked up the diaper bag and Greg took his tie out of Katie's hands and they headed out.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The only time Greg every really saw Grissom or Sara dressed up was when they were due in court to testify so to see his boss in a suit and one of his closest friends in a dress and not getting ready to send someone to jail was a bit odd. They were sitting in a back room in the church waiting for people to show up for the Christening. Grissom stood up and he looked down at Katie and gave her a small smile.

"You look just as comfortable as I do." Katie was playing with one of her pigtails and had almost managed to get it out. She was getting a little whiny and Greg really didn't blame her, even with the air on it was hot in here and he didn't think all that lace was comfortable. Jenna fixed the pigtail and put Katie on her shoulder.

"Just until the pictures are done and than I'll take your hair down and put you in normal clothes I promise," said Jenna. Sara smiled and took Katie from Jenna.

"Oh but she looks so pretty just like a little princess. I can see why your daddy talks about you all the time." Katie decided to play shy and she buried her face in Sara's shoulder. Sara handed Katie to Jenna and looked around the little room they were in.

"So we just say yes to anything the preacher asks us and that's it?" asked Sara.

"Yep," said Jenna.

"See I told you it was like court but without the lawyers and twelve angry jurors," said Grissom. Sara shrugged.

"It's just a little odd being a church, I think the last time I was in one was when we found that woman on the cross in the sanctuary." Jenna wrinkled her forehead and eyed Sara.

"This one has a good reputation, I think the only person who died here was a nun and that was after she gave a kid a good fifty whacks for being disrespectful." Ofilia and Jonathan walked in.

"Are you talking about Sister Keer, my dad still has the scars from that beating," said Ofilia sitting down. Jonathan gave Jenna a hug and he gave her a look.

"You know I remember when your mom brought you home from the hospital and now you have kids…damn it you make me feel old."

"Watch your mouth we're in a church, besides it's a five year age difference. You're not that old Mr. Jonathan."

"I'm old enough to remember your mom giving you a sound spanking after you ruined your 1st Communion Dress by reenacting Madonna's Like a Virgin in your front yard." Grissom gave a smile and Sara started laughing. Greg looked at her and shook his head and went to say something when Jenna cut him off.

"Don't say anything, you used to wear tin foil and reenact scenes from bad action movies," said Jenna.

"I just wish I could have seen it," said Greg with a grin. Clarissa poked her head in the room.

"Father Hesse is ready whenever you guys are," Katie was trying to undo her pigtail again and Greg reached over and fixed it.

"Let's do this."

……………………………………………………………………………………………

"Oh let me hold her," said Papa Olaf. Greg handed Katie to his grandfather and Nana Olaf moved closer and brushed back some of the Katie's curls. They both started talking in Norwegian about how cute she was and how much she looked like him when he was younger.

"So are you saying that she looks like a boy or that I was just very girly looking when I was baby?"

They were sitting in Clarissa's backyard for the Christening party. The church service, Greg realized was just a formality and the real celebration was here. He wished he had known how big of a deal this was in Jenna's family; Clarissa had really pulled out all the stops for this. She and some friends of the family had spent almost three days making all the food for over a hundred people and a DJ was playing in one corner of the backyard. Everyone seemed to be having a good time; his parents were talking with Clarissa and one of Jenna's uncles. Archie, Mandy, Bobby and Henry were playing a drinking game of some sort. Catherine and Warrick were dancing in the yard along with Frankie and his daughter Anya.

Jenna sat him down a plate of food and drinks for his grandparents and she sat down next to him.

"So are you being good?" asked Jenna taking a strawberry off of his plate. Greg shrugged, so far most of Jenna's family seemed really nice, but one of Jenna's aunts simply refused to talk to him when Clarissa had introduced him and she had left the table a few minutes ago when his grandparents sat down. He couldn't understand why she had been so rude to him.

"I got to meet your Aunt Felicia. She seemed…"

"Kind of like a bitch, ignore her. She's old and bitter and her husband is a doormat. Be grateful that she didn't treat you like she treated Karen when she married in."

"How did she treat Karen?" asked Greg. Karen sat down and put Jordan on her lap.

"Oh something about that uppity white girl from Chicago, some other stuff I forgot about. She's a cow and no one cares what she thinks. Everyone else here thinks your sweetheart," Nana Olaf gave him a kiss on the check.

"There's one in every family kjæresten. Your great aunt would have loved to see me in a ditch."

"She loved you," said Papa Olaf handing Katie back to Greg.

"Only to your face," said Nana Olaf. Jenna started laughing and Karen shook her head. Nick and Jonathan took up the last two seats at the table.

"I never thought I would see the day that Grissom would be dancing." They turned their attention the yard and Grissom and Sara were slow dancing and chatting with David and his wife Stacy next to them.

"I think it's sweet," said Jenna.

"I think my brain is going to explode from the sweetness of it," muttered Hodges at the next table. Wendy reached over and gave him a good smack upside the head.

"Stop being a tool," said Wendy.

"Shut up before I take the good tequila away from you," said Jenna.

"Yeah you lucky jerk who can still drink shut up," said Karen, who was three months pregnant with her and Frankie's third child. Greg leaned over to Jenna.

"You really wanna see his head explode from the sweetness of everything." Jenna smirked at him.

"Oh that would be cool," said Jenna.

"Hey I wanna talk to you when you get back," said Jonathan.

"Sure thing." Greg put Katie on his hip and took Jenna out to the dance floor. He handed her Katie and Jenna held Katie so she was facing Greg and than Greg wrapped his arms around Jenna and started dancing with both of them.

"Oh I think he's going to throw up," said Greg looking over at the table where Hodges seemed to be looking sick.

"That's because he's been drinking real Mexican tequila and I don't think you can do that without eating first."

See the pyramids around the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me

Katie put her head on Greg's chest and she let out a little yawn and she started sucking her thumb.

"Oh someone is sleepy," said Greg. Jenna kissed Katie on her head and looked up at him.

"She's had a busy day; she got to meet all sorts of nice new people."

"Well some of them were nice," said Greg. Jenna wrinkled her nose at him.

"She's not worth getting upset over; she's always been a hateful cow. I always wondered how her and my father were related. Just ignore her." Greg bent down and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Besides I've ignored the way your cousin Danny tries to undress me with his eyes, you can ignored my rude aunt."

"He what!" cried Greg. Jenna started laughing at him.

"Kidding, just kidding…so do you want to make our big announcement now. I mean all these people are probably invited to the wedding anyway."

"All of them?" asked Greg in mocking horror.

"If our moms have any say on the guest list than yes." Greg sighed.

"We can spike the drinks of certain guest so they pass out right."

"It's our wedding…so yeah defiantly on board for spiking drinks." The song stopped and Jenna took Katie from him. "You want to make it, you asked me after all." Greg gave her a look.

"You're lucky I love you so much."

"Well I love you more so make the announcement," said Jenna. Greg went over to the DJ and asked him to cut the music for a moment and asked for the mike.

"Um excuse me for a moment." People turned around to look at him and he really wished he had taken a shot of the tequila before agreeing to make the announcement that they were getting married in front of all these people. Jenna came up beside him and gave his hand a squeeze and he felt himself calm down a little.

"Hi, um I would like to thank all of you for coming here today and helping us celebrate the birth of our daughter Katie. I really need to thank Clarissa for helping put all of this together for Katie." Clarissa was sitting next to his mother and she went beat red in the face. "But there is something else I want to say…umm."

"Damn it man spit it out," snapped Hodges from his table. Ok no more alcohol for you.

"Thank you David for being so elegant," said Grissom with a glare.

"I've asked Jenna to marry me and she has decided to do me the honor of becoming my wife." Julia jumped up and started hooting and clapping.

"Whoo go Jen! Take him off the market!" Everyone started laughing and people started to go up and congratulate them. Frankie came up and gave him a hug.

"I hope you know what you're getting into, she's crazy."

"But it's a cute crazy," said Greg. Felicia came up to Greg and glared at him.

"I hope you actually plan on marrying my niece, the last man who said he was going to marry her took off at least that time she didn't have a child." Frankie went to say something but Greg stopped him.

"With all due respect, I love Jenna very much and I have every intention of marrying her and I would really like it if you were to stop being so nasty to me." Felicia seemed lost for words and she walked away. Frankie smiled at Greg.

"Go boy. Karen just called her a filthy bitch and ended it. Yours was much better."

"Thanks," Greg found his way back the table they had been sitting at before and found Jenna talking to Jonathan. Jonathan looked up at Greg and smiled.

"Did Frankie threaten to kill you yet or did he leave that to me?"

"He asked if he knew what I was getting into, something about Jenna being crazy."

"Remind to kill you and Frankie," said Jenna.

"Now if you kill me, we won't be able to discuss the proposal I have for you," said Jonathan.

"You can't move Ofilia to New York I don't care what you offer me," said Jenna. Jonathan started to laugh.

"Actually I got my horrible ex-wife to sign off and I have full custody of my son and I can move him out of state if I want. So I plan on taking Tony and moving back here and asking Miss Ofilia to marry me, however I do have one little loose end…my business. So from what I've heard you're looking to expand and are just a few grand short of buying someone out, why not take out another loan?"

"I just paid off the loan I owe on the Vegas building with what I got paid from MTV. I have no desire to take out another loan right now; I just planned on waiting it out. My contract with the Eclipse is still open and I could just expand into it."

"But wait too long and someone else could take it or this guy could get out of his hole and with your contract still in the air they might decide to not let you in. So here is my proposal to you, we merge. I give the money needed to buy that guy out; you make me your silent partner and let me work from that bakery we buy out and you and me will be owners of three bakeries in Vegas and one...possibility two in New York if my loan offer goes through." Jenna gave him a look and adjusted Katie on her lap before talking.

"How much of the business do you want? Ofilia was getting ready to make me an offer for twenty percent of the business and she's more than earned it over the years. I won't cheat her out of what's she earned. This business has been in my family since my grandmother came to America almost sixty years ago and I've spent years getting it to this point and you of all people should know how far I've gone to keep it." Jonathan held his hands up in surrender. Greg gave her a look, she was downright scary. He knew she had worked her ass off to keep her family's business; she had even gone as far as to strip to keep the bakery from going bankrupt after her ex fiancée stole from her. At the same time he understood why she would fight for it, she loved her job the way he loved his job.

"Whoa easy tiger, I forgot how scary you were when talking business. I've talked to Ofilia and we agreed that we would share the twenty percent that she's buying from you. To be honest I couldn't have started what I have in New York if you hadn't have taught me how to bake when we were kids. So I'm sharing Ofilia's share and you still seventy percent owner ship and I'll even let you pick who you ship to New York to keep your interest represented in the East Coast," said Jonathan.

"What?" asked Jenna.

"Well it would make sense to have someone from here go out there and represent what you want. I'm coming out here to represent what I want, so any idea about who to send?" asked Jonathan.

"I'll need to think about it, give me a couple of weeks. Ok." Jonathan gave her a grin.

"So I'm in?" Jenna handed Katie to Greg.

"So in I'm even willing to let you dance with me." Jenna stood up and looked at Greg. "I promise to be right back."

"Go on get out of here you two crazy kids." They walked off into the yard and Greg stood Katie up his lap and he let her play with his tie. "Your mommy is one crazy lady." Karen had gone into the house and his grandparents were talking to Megan and Julia at another table. A man sat down next to Greg and offered his hand out for a handshake. Greg couldn't recall being introduced to him, but than again maybe this was a late guest.

"Hey congrats man, she's one hell of a lady."

"Thanks, I'm sorry but I don't know who you are. Your from Jenna's side?" asked Greg. He looked like he could be related to Jenna's family. He had dark hair and the same dark skin that Frankie.

"Friend of the family, I grew up with Jen and co." He held out his hand for Greg to shake. "Anthony, I see that her and Jonathan can still tear up a dance floor." Greg looked out to the yard to see them salsa dancing to Shakira.

"She's still trying to teach me, I have white boy rhythm," said Greg. Katie began to wiggle and fuss in his arms. "Oh hey sunshine, shush." Greg started bouncing her on his knee and Katie started to laugh.

"She's a cutie. Would it be alright if I held her?" So far Katie had been passed from family member to family member and she was alright as long as either he or Jenna were close by.

"Sure." Greg handed Katie over to him and Anthony started to baby talk to her in Spanish. Katie gave him a shy smile and started to babble back.

Greg turned his attention back to the yard. Jenna went to wave at him and she stopped dancing with Jonathan and she seemed frozen in place. All color seemed to leave her face and than come back in bright red waves. She broke away from Jonathan and stomped over to where he was sitting. She walked right past him and started to address Anthony in Spanish.

"Qué usted está haciendo aquí?" Anthony gave her a beseeching look.

"Vine aquí verle."

Jenna seemed to getting more pissed off by the nano second and she almost ripped Katie out of Anthony's arms and handed her crying back to him.

"I don' ¡cuidado de t! You' ¡re no recepción aquí! ¡Y déme detrás mi hija!" People were turning around to stare at them and Greg couldn't piece together what was going on, but he knew it wasn't good. He stood up and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Honey calm down." Anthony gave Greg a dirty look and turned back to Jenna.

You' el re ir a casarlo? Tenga sus niños? I can't cree que usted se ataría al gringo sin valor para el resto de su vida." Nick started moving closer to the table along with Jonathan and Frankie. Jenna got right in Anthony's face and just hissed at him.

"I' m que va a decirle una más vez de irse antes de que le haga apesadumbrado." He gave Jenna a little leer moved some hair out of her face and whispered in her ear.

"Olvidé cómo es atractivo usted era cuando usted consigue enojado. Dígame, usted atornillan al gringo la manera que usted me atornillaba?" She snapped when he said that and she slapped him across the face and was going to get in a second blow when Frankie grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back and Jonathan grabbed Anthony's shoulder.

"Get your ass out of here now Andy before we let her at you." He pushed Jonathan off him

"Nice to see you too Johnny. Frankie." Frankie was holding Jenna back and gave Andy a look.

"Don't think I won't help my sister kick your ass. This is a family event and your not family. Get out of here now." Andy shrugged and headed out to the front yard; a car started up and peeled off.

Everyone had gotten quite during the exchange, but everyone was whispering among themselves. Katie was wailing in Greg's ear and it seemed to snap Jenna out of the haze she was in. She pushed Frankie off her and went into the house near tears. Clarissa started apologizing to guests and telling them that the party was over. His parents looked confused, has did the rest of his family and friends. Jonathan ran a hand through his hair and looked at Greg.

"I'm sorry about that; I didn't think Andy would be that much of a douche bag to show his face here." Greg had only seen Andy in old photos that Jenna had of her Quinceañera and that was over fifteen years ago, no wonder he didn't recognize him. God I let that asshole hold my daughter. Katie was still crying and Greg started to comfort the baby in his arms when Grissom and Nick came up to him and started talking to him quietly.

"Would you like to tell us who the gate crasher was?" asked Nick.

"Jenna's ex-fiancée." Grissom gave Greg a look.

"Has he been bothering her before today?" asked Grissom. Greg sighed and told them about when Andy confronted her in the supermarket parking lot and the bruises on her wrist. Nick looked pissed off and Grissom's eyes got narrow.

"You should have made her come in a file a report right after it happened," said Grissom.

"I tried to talk her into it and she didn't want to. But I got photos, prints and DNA swab from her wrist right after it happened."

"That was smart," said Nick.

"I want it in my hands when you come in tomorrow night Greg. This jackass had the nerve to confront her in front of her family and dozens of people. He comes near her or Katie again, you make her come down to PD and file a report, understand," said Grissom.

"Yes sir," said Greg. Karen came up to him.

"Hey, Jen's in the attic crying her eyes out and she's not talking to me." Greg nodded and headed into the house. He went upstairs and into the guest room and started up the stairs that lead to the attic. Katie had calmed down and was muttering at him, Greg adjusted her on his hip and went into the attic. Jenna was sitting by one of the windows that overlooked the front yard and was crying. Greg came over to her and sat down with Katie in his lap and touched Jenna's hair.

"Hey come on sweetheart, this isn't your fault you didn't know he was going to be here. I didn't know who he was when I let him hold Katie. Come one Jen, look at me." She wiped her eyes and looked at him.

"Did you understand what he said?"

"I understood gringo. I imagine that was directed at me." Jenna bite her lip and looked out the window.

"Wanted to know why I would want to spend my life with you…he had to the nerve to hold my daughter in my mother's house, insult you and than tell me I'm cute when I'm mad and than ask me to compare sex between you and him. I wish Frankie would have let me at him." Greg wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close.

"You are sort of cute when your mad." Jenna glared at him and Greg gave her a loped sided grin. "I'm just saying." Jenna took Katie from him and hugged her close.

"When I saw him holding her, I wanted to kill him. I don't want him near our baby."

"You can file a harassment complaint against him and you have dozens of LVPD and lab workers to back you up." Jenna sighed and put her chin on Katie's head.

"I wanna do it." Greg gave her a kiss.

"Good girl. We can go now or…"

"Let's help my mom clean up and than I'll go. You'll come with me?" asked Jenna.

"Of course I will." Jenna headed down the attic stairs with Katie carefully and Greg followed her. You weren't alone in wanting to kill him when I found out who was holding her.

What was said Between Jenna and Andy

What the hell are you doing here

I came here to see you

I don't care! You're not welcome here! And give me back my daughter!

You're going to marry him? Have his children? I can't believe you would tie yourself to worthless gringo for the rest of your life.

I'm going to tell you one more time to leave before I make you sorry.

I forgot how sexy you were when you get mad. Tell me, do you screw the gringo the way you used to screw me.
