My apologies!! This hasn't been updated in AGES!! I've been SO SO busy with life! Getting engaged, then getting married, then moving to England, and getting a job... ah... real life can be a bitch at times, eh? This chapter has been written for MONTHS now, I just haven't had time to type it up! But I am on sick leave right now, so I decided I would type this up and get it up for you readers, before I forget... so... here are a few mentions before the chapter:

kaCSI - Yeah... I didn't update so fast this time, eh?

bradine - Sorry, for the lack of updates!! I'm so bad... as for disappointing? I think I've done that by not updating in 9 months (hides)

iluvdarts - I blame you for my lack of updates... (snickers) But to be kind, you've managed to update since April, so I have no excuse, eh?

Chelsee6 - Ah, don't worry about going too long without reading new stories... I'm still catching up on stories from MARCH! I'm WAY behind! You'll love Ontario, so I do really consider it! I'm missing Ontario and I've only been gone 6mths! I was watching The Simpsons the other day and they went to Toronto and I was got homesick over it!

CatherineWillowsCSI - It may seem like I've listen to YOU at this time, considering you only just reviewed a few weeks ago. LOL! But I've been too lazy to update this... it's been waiting to be updated for ages now...

And to all the new reviewers, thank you! And I hope you enjoy! Also, thanks for all the congrats on the engagement, which by no fault of my own, is now a marriage. LOL! I shouldn't have waited so long to update...

Anyhoo... here it is my fellow readers, please forgive me!


I arrive at home, and I quietly walk up the stairs and place Petey on the bed so I can go in search of some old PJ's of Lindsay's from when she was younger.

I remember that there is a box of old clothes in the attic, so I begrudgingly bring the ladder down that leads into the attic. I really don't like the attic because there are creepy crawlers up in the attics, that give me the heebie jeebies.

I quickly find the box, and sift through the box to find the PJ's

"Pink, pink, pink… geez is there anything other than pink?" I ask myself "…pink, pink, pink, green, pink, pi… hey! Green will do" so I pick up the green PJ's, and put the pink ones back in the box and turn around

"Holy mother of fucking God!" I yelp and fall backwards over the box. I look up from the floor at Petey

"Hey kiddo, you snuck up on me. I wasn't expecting you to be there" I get up and brush myself off

"I woke up and you were gone" Petey frowns

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to find some PJ's for you. Do you like green?" I ask, holding up the PJ's

Petey nods and smiles

"Great! Let's get outta here and get you changed" I grab Petey's hand, and walk towards the ladder down from the attic

"Eeeeek!!" I yell and run to the corner of the attic "A centipede! That was a HUGE one!" I look over at Petey who has a very amused look on his face

"You're scared of dentapedes?" he asks

I look at him, embarrassed and nod

"I had a dentapede, but then it died. It was fun watching him. But I didn't know what he eats, so I think that's why he died." Petey said frowning a little "Then! I had a pet spider! Mommy got scared when he got out."

I shudder a little thinking of the pets he's had.

"That's pretty cool, Petey. How about we get you into your PJ's?" I ask, quickly changing the subject

"OK!"

So, we walk into the bedroom

"Can you change yourself, Petey?" I ask, putting the PJ's on the bed

"Uh huh! I'm a big boy!" Petey smiles

"Ok, so you get changed and I'll go into the bathroom and get into mine, ok?"

"OK!"

I walk into the bathroom and change into my boxers and tee and I come into the bedroom to see Petey on the bed with a triumphant smile on his face

"Wow! That was fast, Petey!" I say, pulling back the covers for him to go under

"I said I was a big boy…" Petey replied, as he jumps up top the pillow and dives under the blanket

"I'll be sleeping on the floor, kiddo. So you won't be alone, ok?" I say, as I tuck him in

"Ok" he says, looking up at me with his eyes peeking over the covers

"If you need anything, just let me know"

Petey nods, then I see his eyes filling up with tears and he sniffles

"Hey, what's wrong, kiddo?" I ask, scooting towards him and engulfing him in a hug

"I want my mommy. She always tucks me in, then reads me my favowite stowies, then she sings me the song in the book…" Petey cries

"Well what does she read you? You know, Catherine has a daughter named Lindsay and I'm pretty sure she still has some children books in her room" I say, running my hand up and down his back to calm him down

"She… she… she weads me Goodnight Moon and Wuv You Foweva" Petey says quietly

"Well, you're in luck Petey! I happen to know that those were Lindsay's favourite books when she was a little girl and I know just where she keeps them! Do you want to come with me?" I ask, and he nods solemnly, then he puts his arms up for me to pick him up, and I quickly pick him up and he snuggles into me, putting his thumb in his mouth

We walk into Lindsay's room to her bookcase and I pick up the books

"I want my beddy tear, too" he says quietly

"Beddy tear?" I ask him, confused. He nods and points to the teddy bears that Lindsay has on her bed

"Oh! Teddy bear!" and Petey nods

"Beddy tear."

"Ok, well which one do you want?" I ask and he points to the one that has jeans and a hoody on and I pick that one up and hand it to him

"Fank you…" he says

"You're welcome, kiddo. Now let's get you tucked in"

We walk back into the bedroom and I pull back the covers for him to get under. I sit beside him on top of the covers and I open an arm so he can snuggle into me

"So, which one do you want me to read first?" I ask, looking down at him

"Goodnight Moon, pwease" he says, looking back up at me

I open the Goodnight Moon and I start reading. Once I finish reading, I look down and I see his eyes drooping, so I read Love You Forever. I sing the song whenever it appeared in the book and once I sing the last part, I look down and I see Petey is sleeping against me, and I didn't have the heart to move him, in case he woke up.

"You're really good with him" I hear Catherine whisper from the doorway. I look over and I smile at her

"Hey babe. You're off early" I whisper

"Yeah, I processed the evidence, now I have to wait until I get the results back. Grissom told me to go home and get some sleep." she whispers as she walks into the room and sits beside me on the bed

"I missed you" I say, leaning over to give Catherine a kiss

"I missed you, too" she replies with a smile

I move over to give Catherine more room

"You wanna sleep?" I ask

"Yes! I'm exhausted." she replies "Let me go get into something more comfortable and I'll grab a blanket for the both of us"

"Ok, babe"

I watch Catherine leave and I stare at her ass. It's such a beautiful, sexy ass! I'll never get tired of staring at that ass of hers!

Whilst Catherine is changing, I knew at that exact moment that proposing and marrying Catherine is what I really wanted. I couldn't picture my life with anybody else but her. I also pictured us with a few more little ones running around. Being a perfect family.

"What are you smiling at?" I hear Catherine say as she gets onto the bed and curls up next to me

"Nothing really. Just getting lost in my thoughts"

"Ok. Well, turn off that overactive mind of yours and go to sleep with me" she says

"Anything you say, babe"

I turn over on my side and curl myself into a protective shield around Petey, while Catherine wraps her arms around me from behind

"I love you, Sara" she says, giving the back of my neck a kiss

"Love you too, babe" I bring her hand up to my lips and I kiss her hand

As I'm drifting into a sleep, I can't help but think how great a family we would be.


I can't guarantee the next chapter will be updated soon or not... I need to get into the mood to write again, but that is slowly coming around... I just need to watch more CSI and I believe it'll come around... Oh! Does anybody know when the new season starts in the States/Canada? I'm asking my mom to record the new series for me and the wife so we can watch it in November... Thanks!
