Disclaimer: I don't own CSI. Wouldn't that be cool?
CHAPTER 7Lindsey laid down on the floor while Catherine and Sara sat on the couch. Lindsey picked 'The Sound of Music'. Lindsey fell asleep shortly there after. Catherine wondered out loud to herself, "I wonder what she is dreaming about."
"I couldn't tell you. It must be good, though, she's smiling."
"I know what my dreams will be about tonight." Catherine said, looking at Sara. Sara smiled at Catherine in the way that Catherine loved. She scooted next to Catherine and laid her head upon Catherine's shoulder. Catherine leaned her head over so that they were laying on each other. It had been a long day for both of them. They fell asleep just like that.
Lindsey woke during the night and saw the two of them together holding hands while they were asleep. She was shocked, but decided it wasn't that back. Her mom was smiling. Her mom seemed to care very deeply for Sara. She liked Sara, too. Lindsey thought of Sara as a big sister almost. She could talk to Sara about things she wouldn't talk about with her mom.
Catherine awoke the next morning to the sun shining in the window. Sara was still laying on her. When she realized Lindsey was not there, she jumped up, causing Sara to fall over. "Ow, Catherine! I'm still healing here!"
"Oh, my gosh! Where's Lindsey? Do you think she saw us? I better go check on her."
"Catherine, settle down. She probably is in her bed sleeping soundly."
Catherine went to Lindsey's room and found her sitting on the bed playing on her laptop.
"Hi, Lindsey."
"Hi, mom"
"When did you come to bed?
"I woke up about 2, I guess and came to bed."
"Ummm…did you notice anything unusual?"
"Well, you are Sara were asleep on the couch. I tried not to bother you."
"Linds, I think we need to talk."
"What's up, mom?"
"I think you are old enough to hear this. Sara and me have worked together for a long time. Over the years, I have grown fond of Sara. I think she is a beautiful and amazing person. I will always love your father because he gave me you. What I am trying to say is that I love Sara with all my heart. Does that bother you? That your mom loves another woman?"
"No, Mom. Sara is a great person. I could tell how much you loved her since she stayed with us that time. You remember, when her apartment was being worked on because the pipes burst? I could tell she loved you, too."
Leave it to a kid, her kid, to state the obvious.
AN: Sorry for the short chapter. Next one will be longer, I promise! Catherine and Sara are going to be getting a lot closer very soon.
