Greg and Brandon

Amy then left Nick's office to think about what she had just been told. Amy went to the break room to try and think when Greg came in. He interrupted her thoughts when he asked if they could talk. Amy asked Greg if they could talk later, and Greg said it was important. Amy reluctantly agreed to talk to Greg about whatever was on his mind. Greg told Amy that he wanted her back, he had a lot of time to think, and he's ready to be a father to the twins. He wanted his family back, he was a changed man. Amy told Greg as much as she believed that he had changed, and that she was glad that he finally wanted to be a part of his children's lives, but they couldn't get back together, she was sorry but she had moved on, she no longer loved Greg the way she did when they were together. Greg feeling heartbroken asked if he could take care of Julian and Samantha this weekend. Amy said that was fine he could by their home Friday night after work to pick them up. Greg hesitated and asked if they could meet somewhere. Grissom didn't like Greg much before he married Amy, and now that they had divorced and he temporarily abandoned his children, he didn't think it was a good idea to be around Grissom. Amy told him that if he wanted his children this weekend he would have to come by the house. As much as Grissom is upset with Greg about what he did, he'll understand, Greg is the twins' father he has every right to be around them. Greg finally agreed and said that he would be around the house at seven pm Friday night. Amy relieved that Greg had finally changed his mind about being a father, called a friend of hers Gabby and asked her if she was doing anything Saturday night. Gabby told Amy she was free, and was thrilled that Amy finally had the time to hang out with her friends.

Saturday night finally came, the previous night had been funny to witness, Greg stammering as he helped Amy get Julian and Samantha ready for the weekend with their father. Grissom kept his distance he didn't want his grandchildren to seem him mad. Amy met up with Gabby at the Mat Hotter, downtown Las Vegas. It had been years since Amy had been to a club. After an hour, and two drinks later, Amy and Gabby were out on the dance floor. Amy had learned how to "club dance" from Catherine so she was attracting a lot of guys while she was dancing. A nice young looking fellow came up and introduced himself as Brandon James, the DJ here, and asked if they could dance, as a slow song came on. Amy agreed and two danced together all night long. They had talked about their lives the whole night. Brandon was a gentlemen, he walked Amy to her car when her and Gabby decided to leave, and gave Amy a light kiss on the cheek, before getting her cell phone number of course. Amy got home around three am, and staggered her way into bed, she had only two drinks that night and by the time she had left she was relatively sober. Amy woke up around eleven am Sunday morning, and was met in the living room by her father who asked how her night out was. She said it was great and told him about Brandon.

The next week, Brandon and Amy dated when her schedule allowed, so most of their dates were during the day. Since they both worked nights it worked out perfectly. When the following Sunday arrived, Amy was having dinner at her home with Grissom and Brandon, the twins were with their father, Greg had taken the week off as well, he would be watching Julian and Samantha while Amy was away. Amy told her father and Brandon that she would be away for a week, relaxing and getting her mind off of her job. She would be leaving the next morning, and she would be back next Sunday night. Brandon asked her if it was ok that he went with her. As much as Amy loved being around Brandon, she felt that them going away together was moving too fast. That night Amy decided that since she wouldn't see Brandon for a week, she would take the next step in their relationship. That night Amy spent the night at Brandon's where they made passionate love before he took her to the airport the next morning. Amy also told Brandon that when she got back on Sunday he would be meeting her ex-husband when they picked up the twins on the way home from the airport. Amy kissed Brandon goodbye after promising he could call her whenever he wanted while she was away, but if she didn't answer to not take it to heart, she would be spending a lot of time with a new friend of hers.
