The formatting might be off but I'm happy to be posting the last of what I have. I got a USB memory thinger for Christmas and it's cool. Help would be great because I've had this for 6 mnths with no idea how to finish.
Gil settled down and went to make transportation arangments while Catherine went to finish dinner. Twenty minutes later they all sat down to eat dinner, Lindsey sat rapped firing questions at Grissom who calmly answered them; smiling at how much energy she had, and how much she was like her mother.
Early the next morning they were all dressed and in Lindsey's case semi-awake, waiting for the cab that would take them to the airport. As they boarded their flight Catherine felt the weight that lay in her stomach clench. Knowing that they were headed toward the very people who had hurt Gil, causing him to become the antisocial person that he was, though he had improved somewhat. They made their way into the first class seats Lindsey sitting in the window, and Gil in the middle, leaving Catherine in the aisle. Lindsey bounced in her seat excitied by her first trip in an airplane. Gil watched Catherine's face noting the strain on her features. It was more than halfway through their flight before his curiosity got the better of him.
"Catherine, what's wrong?" Gil asked. She sighed "It's nothing. I'm just worried about this trip that's all." "Cath. I know your not just going to like them because they hurt me, but I need to try at least this once to work it out." Catherine nodded and buried her face into his shoulder to take a nap. Gil looked over and watched Lindsey nod off against the window, smiling at the similarities between the two. They woke up later as the plane began to descend and they prepared to venture into the unknown.
As they got off the plane they saw a chauffer holding a sign with Grissom printed on it waiting for them. "I'm Gil Grissom." The chauffer nodded "I'm Samuel your driver. Right this way please." After a quick stop to pick up their luggage, they were in the limo and on the road. They were soon in front of a huge estate and Lindsey was stunned. Gil sighed as the limo stopped and waited patiently for the chauffer to open the door, then he exited helping Catherine and Lindsey out of the car. "Gil, this place looks like a castle. Look at the horses can I see them?" Lindsey bounced impatiently in front of him. "It's not quite a castle." They all looked up toward the voice at the front door. Linsdey saw the way Gil tensed and frowned slightly at the man. He watched them carefully "Hello. I'm Andrew Grissom." Lindsey took a step forward "I'm Lindsey Willows." Then Catherine took a breath "I'm Catherine Willows." Andrew smiled "So, you're the woman that got Gil to settle down." "I don't know if you'd call it settled." "Please I doubt Gil has ever done anything crazy in his life. You are probably a scientist that has always been a scientist." Catherine glared at him "No, that's not really true at all, but it's none of your concern." Andrew looked at her but didn't say anything about it "Let's head in shall we. Samuel take their things to their rooms."
They entered the house and were immeadiately taken to the sitting room to meet his family. Gil's brother George stepped up "Hello. I'm George Grissom and this is my wife Deborah, my sister Alexandra, her husband David, son Thomas, and my mother Susan. you've already met my father Andrew." Catherine stepped forward "I'm Catherine Willows and this is my daughter Lindsey." Alexandra stepped forward "So, how long have you know Gilbert?" Lindsey giggled and Gil smiled at her. Catherine looked at her "Almost 18 years now." Susan looked at her curiously "The bugs didn't scare you away?" "No, I tend to stay away from them but they don't bother me to much." George smiled warmly "Do you like horses Lindsey?" Lindsey grinned "I like horses a lot. Gil takes me riding when he has free time and he says that I'm a natural." Alexandra wached the way Gil looked at the two and had to ask "So Gil, are you her biological father?" Gil's eyes narrowed "No, Alexandra. Lindsey is Catherine's daughter from a previous marriage." "Well I just assumed..." "You know what they say about assuming." "No, what do they say." "It.." "Gil." "Sorry my dear."
