EPILOGUE

Greg Sanders sniffed the air. There was some sort of aroma floating around that he wasn't used to. He followed the smell and sniffed around…right up to Gil Grissom.

"Why are you sniffing me, Greg?" Gil asked, his brow furrowing. "You smell…different." "He's wearing Curve," Catherine said, appearing in the doorway. "Everyone's out back, Greg." She disappeared into the kitchen. Greg turned to Grissom. "Hey boss, you ever gonna thank me for telling on you to the Fab Five?" Grissom just stared at him.

"Right, so scrap that." He raced out the back to the safety of others.

The Grissom family was holding a barbecue lunch, and all their coworkers and their respective others were there. Catherine went to sit down at the table, but noticed the seat next to her was empty. She smirked to herself, knowing where her husband would be.

"Hey everyone, get started. I'm just going to find, Gil."

Warrick winked at her. "Bring the new baby down with you."

"And blue and green should never be seen…together," Gil said, realizing that his rhyme hadn't worked properly. Joshua looked up at him and gurgled. "Yes, it is a very important lesson. I thought so too." He kissed the baby gently. "But remember the most important lesson. Your mommy is the most beautiful woman in the world." "Gil, I think he's too young to be needing a fashion consultant," Catherine murmured. Gil looked up and smiled at his wife. "You're never too young…or too old…to learn." Catherine smirked at him and walked over, kissing Joshua gently on the forehead. She then kissed Gil, a searing kiss that lasted a few moments. "Have I told you recently how much I love you?" "I'm still not thanking Greg." Catherine threw her head back and laughed. "I know. But you still have to come downstairs. We have guests." "Would you like a play by play of what I would be doing with you now if they weren't here?" "No, because then I might agree with you. And while Joshua can't walk in on us, Lindsey can. And she's very much awake." Gil kissed her gently. "Fine, but can Josh come too?"

Catherine narrowed her eyes. "He's not a toy, Gil."

"I know that," Gil said, mockingly hurt. "But us Grissom guys have to stick together." Catherine pouted. "What about the Grissom girls?" Gil kissed her again. "They're who the Grissom guys live for." FINIS
