this story.
'Uncle Nick!' Lindsey shouted as she dashed into the CSI's welcoming arms. 'Hey squirt!'
After a round of enthusiastic greetings, the CSIs and Greg and Lindsey sat down for a leisurely picnic together.
'Hey Gris, you are looking different today. I dunno, but somehow you look happier and more . relaxed.' Warrick observed as he looked at his boss who seemed to be enjoying himself.
'Yea, you remind me of a cat that just got the cream or something.' Nick added.
'Maybe he got lucky last night!' Greg said with a snicker, not knowing how right he was.
'Greg!' Sara shoved the lab tech hard and looked pointedly at Lindsey, who was listening with interest.
'Sorry!' Greg muttered.
The subject was hurriedly changed in view of the little girl present, much to the dismay of Greg and the relief of Grissom.
'Hey Linds, why don't we play a game of basketball?' Nick said to defuse the awkward situation.
'Yea. Warrick, Lindsey and I would play against you and Greg.' Sara said with a wink to Lindsey.
'That's not fair Sara, the three of you gang up against me and to all I get is scrawny little Greg?' Nick said in protest.
'Hey, I may be small, but I am good!' Greg said in defence.
'Yea, let's see shall we?'
As the younger CSIs went off with Lindsey and Greg, Grissom gave out a sigh of relief. Catherine looked over at him and smiled.
'Why, I must say I didn't notice. Looking more relaxed huh? Whatever you did last night must be a real stress buster. Better do that more often then!' Catherine teased.
Grissom just smiled and pulled her into his arms and held her tight.
On the other hand, Lindsey had dropped a little bombshell that shocked the other CSIs into silence. Lindsey had tugged on Sara's shirt and said. ' I know why Uncle Grissom is so happy today. He came over to our place last night.'
'You mean that Grissom had dinner at your place Linds?' Sara said, trying not to read too much into what the pint-sized blonde was telling her.
'I dunno about dinner, 'cos it was my bedtime already, but Uncle Grissom was still there when I woke up this morning. He brought mummy home from work last night 'cos she was not feeling well.'
Sara, Nick, Warrick and Greg just stood looking at the little girl with bemused expressions on their faces.
'Is she saying what I think she is trying to say?' Nick said while rubbing his forehead and looking at the others.
'Well, maybe he went over early this morning to check up on her or something.' Warrick tried to explain.
'I know Uncle Grissom stayed the night, cos they were still sleeping when I went into mummy's room this morning.' The little bundle of information told the mystified CSIs.
'Whoa. I can't believe this! Grissom? Are we talking about the same man that we all know?' Nick muttered in disbelief.
'Wow, I was right about him getting lucky then!' Greg said in triumph.
'Catherine and Grissom getting together huh? Why am I not surprised?' Warrick said after he had time to sort out the bombshell they had just received.
They were just about to confront the two elder CSIs with the information they had just received when the saw it for themselves.
Catherine and Grissom were locked in a passionate embrace, and they were kissing. It was very obvious to the others that the two were in a world of their own and they needed no more confirmation that the couple was romantically involved.
'We sure waited long enough for this to happen.' said Nick.
'Yup. He finally realised what she means to him. You could say he finally learned to listen to what his heart had been trying to tell him all these years.' Sara said without lifting her eyes from the couple.
They then wisely decided to leave those two lovebirds, as Greg called them, alone and went off for a game of basketball.
