The following week, on the Saturday, was Greg's 19th birthday and Mia's 8th birthday. The Sidle's were having a joint party at their house for the two, since they had more room. It was the morning of the two's birthday's and Grissom had spent the night at his parents house as Mia had begged him to.
THE GRISSOM HOUSEHOLD
"Wake up Gilly, it's my birthday!" Mia screamed as she ran into Grissom's room.
Grissom, who was already awake, laughed and got out of his bed.
"Happy birthday Mia!" he said picking her up and hugging her.
She hugged him back thanking him.
"Come on Gilly, we need to go open my presents!"
Grissom laughed and the two made their way downstairs where their parents were sitting waiting for them with a huge pile of presents in the middle of the room. Mia ran over to her parents who both wished her a happy birthday and hugged their daughter. Grissom sat on the floor next to Bruno, Mia began to open her presents. Her main present that year was a new bike she had begged her parents for, Mia also received some new clothes, some dolls, colouring books and new pens to go with it, some other toys and her new outfit for tonight which was a white skirted floaty dress on the bottom and the top half was pink flowery and short sleeved, it had a pink ribbon around the middle. She also got her new white sandles to go with her dress. James took photos of the family since it was a special occasion and he knew Betty would want pictures to remember this.
"Thank you mummy and daddy, I love my presents!" Mia shouted giving her parents another hug.
"You're welcome sweetie. Now lets have some breakfast so we can get ready then go round to the Sidle house" Betty said.
"Yeah, the quicker we do that, the quicker you can open your presents from Sara and I" Grissom told her.
Maddy jumped getting all excited "Yay! I can't wait to see Sara and Leo and Greggo"
The three adults laughed and headed to the dining room where breakfast was laid out.
THE SIDLE HOUSE
Sara woke up and quickly checked on Leo, who was lying beside her. She had found it strange waking up without Grissom but knew he'd be back in bed with her tonight. After rolling over and seeing Leo was still fast asleep she quietly got out of her bed, grabbed one of Grissom's jumpers and left her room, her door left open. She crept into Gregs room and walked up to his bed.
"Happy birthday Greggo" she shouted in his ear.
"Fuck sake Sara!" Greg said jumping out of his bed.
Sara couldn't stop laughing at his reaction "Every time"
"Shut up!" Greg said playfully pushing her.
"Come on, lets go open your presents" Sara said dragging her brother out of his room.
Sara picked up Leo and the two siblings and Leo made their way downstairs where their parents waiting for them in the living room.
"Morning guys, happy birthday son!" Robert said walking over to hug his son.
"Thank dad"
"Happy birthday darling, now come and open your presents" Laura said dragging her son over to the pile of presents in the middle of the room.
"I don't know who's more excited, mum or Greg" Sara said to her dad as the two of them walked over to sit on the couch next to the pile of presents.
Robert laughed and shook his head. Little Leo was still fast asleep in his mum's arms, Sara looked at her son and smiled before watching her brother open his gifts.
Greg received a night away for two from his parents for Morgan and himself at a lodge, he also got some new clothes and games for his Xbox as swell as some new aftershave and a new watch.
"Thanks mum and dad" Greg said hugging his parents.
"No problem son, now shall we have son breakfast? Mum made pancakes for you's with chocolate chips" Robert told them.
Their parents made their way to the dinning room, Sara, Leo and Greg followed them.
"Griss wanted to be here when we gave you our presents if that's okay Greggo" Sara said as they walked to the dining room.
"Course Sar, but you's really didn't have to, I know yous are trying to save for a house" Greg said hugging his sister, careful not to squash his nephew.
"Of course we did, you're my big brother and you always do everything for me and you're the best uncle to Leo"
"Thanks sis, now lets go get some pancakes, then me and Leo can have some uncle and nephew time watching TV before everyone shows up later"
Sara laughed and they made their way to sit at the dinning table. After breakfast Sara gave Greg Leo so she could go and shower and he could spend some time with his nephew who had decided to wake up after breakfast.
"Give him his bottle for me Greggo" Sara shouted as she headed upstairs.
"Here's his bottle son" Robert said passing Greg the bottle he had heated up for his grandson.
"Thanks dad, coming to watch TV with us?"
Robert looked at his wife who laughed "Go on, I'll clean up and yous can help me later set up for the party instead"
"Thanks honey" Robert said kissing his wife before following his son and grandson into the living room.
Around lunch time the Grissom family showed up, Mia ran into the living room to go see everyone.
"I'm here!" she shouted.
The Sidle's all laughed as she announced her arrival, Mia ran over to Sara.
"Hi Sara" Mia said climbing onto the couch to hug her.
"Happy birthday Mia" Sara said hugging the little girl back, careful not to squash Leo.
"Hi Leo" Mia said to her nephew, kissing him softly.
This made everyone in the room smile. The rest of the Grissom family greeted the rest of the Sidle family, wishing Greg a happy birthday. Mia eventually left Sara and Leo to greet the rest of the Sidle's and to let Sara greet the Grissom's. When she and Grissom saw each other they gave one another the biggest smile.
"Well hey stranger" Grissom said coming closer to his son and fiance,
"Hey, long time no see" Sara joked back.
Grissom wrapped his arms around the pair and hugged them tight.
"Too long in my opinion" he whispered in her ear.
"I agree"
Grissom kissed her softly before taking his son from her.
The two families sat down and allowed Mia and Greg to open their presents. From Sara, Grissom and Leo Mia received a new baby doll of her own she had been wanting so she could be like Sara and have her own baby to look after. They also bought her many clothes and other baby doll items to go with it.
"I love it!" Mia shouted.
"What you going to name her?" Sara, who was sitting next to her, asked.
"Ariel after my favourite princess"
"Great name Mia!" Greg told Mia.
"Thanks Greggo!"
"Okay Mia, here's a present from Robert, Greg and me" Laura said giving the little girl another present.
"You's didn't have to get her anything" James told the Sidle parents.
"Of course we did, now Mia sweetheart, open your present" Robert said smiling at the little girl.
Mia thanked them and opened her present, it was a new ballet outfit including a new leotard, tights, shoes and some scrunchies.
"Wow, its so pretty! Thank you" Mia squealed.
"You're very welcome sweetie" Laura told the little girl.
"Okay Greggo, your turn" Sara said giving her brother his presents from herself, Grissom and Leo.
Greg smiled like a little boy and started opening his gifts.
"Wow, guy this is amazing!" he said looking at the new watch.
Sara smiled at her brother and told him to open the rest of his couple had also bought him tickets for his favourite band, which they were all going to see with the rest of their friends and some new tops, one of them saying 'World's best uncle has arrived'.
"Thanks guys! You's really didn't have to get me all this!"
"Of course we did" Grissom told him.
"Here's a little thing from us" Betty said giving Greg a parcel from the Grissom family.
"Thanks, you's really didn't have to do this" Greg told Betty.
"Nonsense, now open your gift" James told him laughing.
Greg opened the gift and saw it was a new Bluetooth speaker he was wanting since his broke.
"Wow, thank you!" Greg said shocked.
"Gilly told mummy and daddy yours broke so mummy thought it would be a good present" Mia told Greg.
"Its the best present, thanks again guys"
"No problem, just don't break this one" James joked.
The two families laughed at this, they then noticed Bruno and Buddy had made themselves comfortable underneath some of the wrapping paper making them all laugh once again.
"Okay, now everyone's here we better get set up for the party so we can get ready for the party" Laura said.
Everyone agreed and got up to help decorate the house, Grissom placed Leo in his baby chair they had in the living room.
After a couple hours the decorations were all ready, the food was either cooked or nearly finished cooking when the men told the women they could handle everything and they could go and get ready. The men finished the cooking the went and got ready themselves.
Grissom and Leo wore matching outfits which were some blue jeans with a white long sleeved shirt, Leo's was a t-shirt that looked like a shirt. Grissom put on some white converse trainers and Leo had socks that looked like converse.
Sara smiled and said "Well don't my two guys look very handsome."
"Why thank you babe, and I must say you look stunning as always"
Sara smiled and looked down at her outfit, she wore a black strappy mesh midi dress with black strappy heels. Her hair was left down and she had on some earrings and her necklace which Grissom had got fixed for her on.
"Thanks baby" Sara said kissing him softly.
"Now shall we go downstairs?"
Sara smiled and nodded, giving him one last kiss. The couple made their way downstairs where they saw some of their guest had arrived. The party went on till a little after 3, most of their close friends had decided to stay at the Sidle house that night. Betty and Robert picked up Mia, who had fallen asleep on the couch during the party, and got a taxi home. The rest of the people at the party had left and everyone was now in their 'beds' for the night. They were all sound asleep by 4 with smiles on their faces, the party was great fun and had tired them all out. They all couldn't wait for a summer of fun before they began their college journey's, that is all except Sara.
