Next chapter ... this went through no Beta so all mistakes are mine as always ... as always I own nothing ...
Also I would like name suggestions for the new baby. I want the kids to choose so think what kids would pick, the more funny the better!
---------------------------------------
Teddy knew it was wrong to break things and hit people because his daddy told him so and his daddy could put people in jail.
Teddy knew he didn't want to go to jail but he wanted his dad to pay him attention like he did with his sisters.
He tried to tell his daddy what he was feeling but he was too busy with the twins or his bugs.
Being a big brother was hard work and he did his best but after finding out he was going to have another sister he was upset.
He knew once mummy and the new baby came home they would forget about him even more.
Teddy wanted his dad to take him to cub scouts and watch him play little league but he was always to busy.
Sam, his best friend had joined the scouts last year and his dad would go with him when they went camping and his dad didn't even live with his mum any more.
Along with the scouts Sam's dad took him fishing and went to his soccer games.
Teddy was upset because he wanted a dad like that too but his dad was always working.
When he was at home his dad was playing with the twins or his bugs and he wouldn't even let Teddy play with the bugs and he liked bugs.
After breaking the ant farm and hitting his dad Teddy decided to find a new daddy and chose Uncle Greg.
Teddy knew Greg liked him because he would always talk to him and play with him when he came over.
Besides Greg didn't have any children and they could spent all of their time camping and fishing and playing catch together.
Teddy chose Greg after deciding that Nick already had a baby with Mandy and Jim had his own kids too.
Teddy knew Greg would not be like his real daddy who he loved, but it was better to have a dad that was there all the time.
Having decided to live with Uncle Greg, Teddy had put his cuddly penguin, favorite book on bugs and a picture of his mum and dad he took from their wedding album in his back pack on Thursday night before going to bed.
Walking inside after being dropped off from school Teddy saw his dad playing tea parties with the twins.
"Hi Teddy, there are some cookies and juice on the table for you," Grissom said as he saw his son walk passed.
Walking into the kitchen Teddy picked up his cookies and juice box deciding to save them for his walk to Uncle Greg's house.
Stroking Charlie who came over Teddy then decided to take him as well as he knew his dad didn't like him and Charlie was sure to know the way.
Going up to his room and putting his snack in his bag he found Charlie's leash and walked out the back door.
-------------------------------
Smiling at his girls who were showing him how to burp their dolls he realized it had been two hours since Teddy had come home.
Thinking he must be up in his room Grissom told the girls find their shoes before they went to visit their mother.
Walking upstairs Grissom called out for his son and started to feel dread when he heard no reply.
Walking through the rooms he came to his son's room when he saw a note.
"To Daddy, I am going to go and live with Uncle Greg who will take care of me. He will take me fishing and to the cub scouts and play catch with me like Sam's daddy."
Looking around his room and seeing his penguin was gone Grissom realized that his son had run away and after two hours he could be anywhere.
Running down the stairs he knew what a terrible father he had been.
He had been so caught up with Sara in hospital followed by the twins birthday and moving house he forgot his son needed time alone as well.
Picking up the phone he quickly called Brass, "Teddy has run away, I think he also took Charlie, he left me a note saying he was going to Greg's," he said before feeling a sharp stab of pain in his chest.
His first born, his only son, the only child he though he would have, had run away and Grissom had not even noticed how things were affecting him.
Grissom simply thought Teddy was going through a faze like the twins were.
Ten minutes later Brass came through the door telling Grissom they had most of the Vegas police department looking for him and as soon as Catherine came they would join in the search as well.
Thankfully Catherine took only a few minutes and with her taking the twins back home, Grissom and Brass raced to his car.

Walking outside with Charlie, Teddy started to feel a bit sad after his dad did not even notice him leaving.
Holding his head high he brushed a tear away from his cheek and reminded himself that big boys didn't cry.
Charlie lead the way after Teddy told him they were going to Uncle Greg's and was happy to be walked and half pulled along the street away from their house.
Unfortunately because of his age Teddy did not realize that Charlie did not speak human and was simply overcome with joy to be taken for a walk, following where his nose took him.
Having felt like they had walked for 100 miles Teddy saw a bus stop and decided to have a cookie as he was feeling hungry.
Opening up his bag Teddy got out his cookies and after seeing the look on Charlie's face decided to give him one as well because he was his friend.
After having some juice Teddy was careful to put his juice box in a rubbish bin remembering what his father always said about littering.
Putting his back pack on Teddy started walking again.
After another long walk Teddy sat down and looked at his Mickey Mouse watch that his parents had bought him in Disneyland last year and saw it was nearly 6pm.
Feeling sad Teddy knew the twins would be visiting with mommy and then daddy would take them to McDonald's because it was Friday night.
Now starting to cry he wanted to go home, he missed his daddy and Mommy and wanted a hug.
Teddy was also scared that he was lost and knew he would need to get home soon because it would get dark and Greg went to work at night.
Walking for another few minutes Teddy decided to sit down.
Resting his tired legs and feet Teddy was stroking Charlie's head when he saw a police car drive along and stop.
Teddy knew it was wrong to talk to strangers but some police men came to his school and he also knew that his dad worked with police men.
Standing up he was surprised when they knelled down and knew his name.
Nodding back and telling them his name was Edward Gilbert Grissom and that his dad worked with the police he was about to ask them for direction to Uncle Greg's house when he saw his father run over.
-------------------------
Cursing himself over and over Grissom could not believe he had paid such little attention and didn't even realize he had made his son run away.
Even worse Grissom didn't realize his son was feeling left out with the new baby coming.
Reading the note again he knew that as soon as they found him he would make sure they spent more time together and joined the cub scouts.
Looking out of the car Grissom heard music to his ears when it came over the radio that Teddy had been found.
Turning on his siren Jim sped to the location and came to a halt with Grissom rushing to his son.
--------------------------
Happy to see his dad Teddy started crying when he was swept up into a hug knowing he wanted his dad not Uncle Greg.
Looking down at his son Grissom kissed his cheek and gave him another hug, "Teddy I'm your dad and I love you more than anything in the world. I am so sorry that I have been paying so much attention to the twins and mommy but I promise that will change."
Hugging his dad even tighter Teddy was happy now that he had been found because he loved his daddy.
Carrying his son back to the car Grissom got into the back seat with Teddy as Jim proceeded to take them home.
"We can join the cub scouts and tomorrow we can go and play catch at the park if you want," Grissom said holding his son's hand.
Nodding his head Teddy smiled, "and then we could play with your bugs because I like bugs and then we can go fishing."
Unable to keep the smile off his face Grissom could not believe the bug loving, pink hating child he was craving had been there all along.
Getting home Grissom was giving Teddy and Charlie something to eat when Jim signaled for Grissom to come to the other room.
"Me and Cath will take the girls tonight but you need to get both your butts to the hospital because Sara got wind of Teddy's walk and she caused a near riot demanding she come and look for him."
Nodding his head Grissom quickly grabbed his keys and the two Grissom's made their way to the car.
Arriving at the hospital Grissom and Teddy ran hand and hand to Sara's ward both knowing if Sara was angry or upset there would be hell to pay.
Walking into her room Grissom saw the stress and tears on Sara's face and quickly lifted Teddy onto her bed so she could give him a hug.
Sara started crying again the instant she pulled her first born into a hug, "we love you more than you will ever know. What would I do without my Teddy Bear," she whimpered to him.
Kissing him again and again Sara finally felt her heart rate go down as she told him how much they both loved him and how they were his only parents.
------------
Laying against his mother while his father held his hand and they took turns at stroking his hair Teddy listened as they told him stories of when he was a baby.
After another round of kissing from his mother Teddy promised to never leave the house without telling anyone again and to tell them when he was feeling sad or left out.
Getting back into the car Grissom then drove them to McDonald's where Teddy ate his happy meal telling his father all the things he wanted them to do together.
Arriving home Grissom ran Teddy a bath and was unpacking his son's back pack when he saw the book on bugs.
Getting dressed for bed Teddy was all smiles when Grissom instead of reading him a picture book told him about different bugs there were lulling him to sleep.
