EPILOGUE

Lindsey was right about Grissom and Catherine wanting a child of their own because not a year had gone by since Sara gave birth, they got married and Catherine had a son of her own. Callie and Warrick were given a baby girl they christened Kisha Marie. They also planned to get married. Archie and Hannah had other plans. Three months before Catherine became Mrs. Grissom, they wedded in the Little White Church with only the CSI team as witnesses. Greg, on the other hand, was recently taken off the market.

Life in the Stokes household was seldom quiet. With four young children around, how could it be? Sammy and Nicky are in pre-school while Rio and Reno are in department daycare. Nick and Sara's life are not perfect but it's just normal for couples to argue sometimes and make it up later.

They have agreed no more children and he promised to get fixed. Sara was grateful because finally she found someone who can put up with her bitching and relatively short temper. Everyday, Sammy was beginning to sound as cheerful as Nick but look so much like Sara. Nicky was the other way around but as sweet as his father. Tony has Mommy's eyes and everything Nick while Rio has Daddy's smile. In an early age, all four children proved to be as smart as their parents.

It is true what they say that there is a place in every heart to love even those who went astray. People do spend a lifetime searching for that something special. For some, it is staring at them in the eye and they chose to ignore it. When that love is lost, it maybe for forever... it may never come back. Yet, for the lucky ones, it stays, it grows... it is for eternity.

You told me that you'd love me if I'd ever change

Welcome me into your arms again

Come on in out of the rain, hey

There's a place in your heart to love me again

Happiness and joy you bring

When you call my name

Come on in out of the rain
