Catherine Willows jumped as she felt someone wrapping their arms around her wait. She turned and saw her husband Gil Grissom. He began placing kisses up her neck but stopped when he saw she was distressed.

"Hey...what's wrong?"

"You know how I hate crimes involving children"

The team was investigating a case where a school bus carrying school students had left a bridge and plummeted 30ft into the depths of the river. All of the students aboard had drowned. She was on the bridge watching as the bus was raised from the murky depths. It appeared to be the result of a suicide by the drive who had taken the lives of over 50 children as well as his own. As it came up she remembered the accident in which her daughter had died in just over six months ago.

FLASHBACK...

Lindsey had been on the way back from the zoo when the bus that she had been traveling had gone off the road and crashed into a tree. Lindsey had sustained serious head, neck and spinal injuries, and was in a coma for several weeks before Catherine had made the hardest decision of her life to turn off her life support.

The funeral had been beautiful. Lindsey's school choir had sung and all her friends had been there.

END FLASHBACK

Catherine smiled at the memories of her daughter and placed a hand protectively on her swollen stomach. Catherine had been three months pregnant at the time of the accident and when Lindsey had found out she was going to have a younger brother or sister she had been overjoyed. Catherine was due any day but was determined to continue working and as Grissom had said;

"Have you tried to say no to a pregnant woman?"

Catherine stood watching for a few minutes before turning to her husband.

"It's such a senseless waste of life"

The End (?????????)
