"Hello anybody home"

"Gil," Catherine gets up and walks over to him and throws her arms around his neck as she shuts the door with her foot," Hi"
"You're never leaving again"

"Oh really who says"

"You're two little soccer players"

"Then you can't leave either"

"I'd miss you too much"

"Come on lets go home"

"Yeah"

"Sara we've got a DB Bellagio take Greg"

"Okay"

"Nick Warrick Rape Homicide Residential"

"Okay"

"Cath"

"Yeah I know desk work"

"Okay lets go," she watches as her fiance walks out with a woman who she is conserned still has feelings for him. Being six weeks from her due date Grissom confined her to CSI1 work.
She walks into thier office and sits down at the desk and pulls out some case files and begins to sign them off one by one when she notices a blue notebook on the desk it wasn't hers so she picks it up and opens it:

B I met the most beautiful woman today her name is Catherine.
/B

She quickly shuts the cover," I can't read this, can I," she opens it back up:

B I met the most beautiful woman today her name is Catherine /B

Below the picture is a sketch of Catherine when she was about 26 years old and sitting in on one of his lectures at UNLV. She read on:

B Today I finally talked to her she says she wants to be a criminalist. I told her to call me later and we could talk about job oppertunities. God she's beautiful with her strawberry blonde locks and pale sapphire blue eyes that seem so happy.
/B

"But I wasn't happy":

B Today is Catherine first day at work I'm so excited it's like I'm seventeen and Metallica is playing at the arena. Now I get to work with the woman I think I want to marry. For our children to have her eyes and smile.
/B

"I guess I didn't break you're heart":

B Shes getting married. I can't believe it shes getting married. I should have said something to her about the way I feel. I love her with all my heart but so does someone else just as long as he treats her good with love and respect.
/B

"Yeah that worked out well":

B He hit her. When I saw the bruises on her arms today as we went to breakfast she told me they got in bad fight and he'd never do it again. I was so angry I about fainted when I stood up from the table. How anyone could hurt such a beautiful woman is beyond my understanding I don't even think I want to understand.
/B

She looked at her arm there was a scar there from when Eddie slamed her ar in the door and broke the skin deep:

B He keeps on hitting her but she won't let me help I can't stand to see her in so much pain. It makes me sick to my stomach letting her go home knowing she'll be at my doorstep later sobbing. I put my arms around her but thats all that I can do to comfort a married woman.
/B

She thought back to the countless nights she ended up on his doorstep with bad cuts and bruises crying so hard she collapsed once:

B Catherine told me today that she was pregnant. I can't believe that they could bring a child in to this abusive world but as long as it's healthy and properly taken care of I'll love it as though it were my own flesh and blood.
/B

He loved Lindsey with all of his heart and if she didn't know better you couldn't tell that he wasn't her real father:

B Catherine gave birth today to a little baby girl, Lindsey Marie Willows. She looks so gorgeous with her sparkling blue eyes, rosy cheeks, pink lips. Eddie wasn't there Cath called me when she went into labour she had no one but me. I cried that night knowing that Eddie was doing something behind her back it hurt so much.
/B

Lindsey brought them together at first but now it was the unconditional love they have for eachother:

B He keeps hitting her and god knows how long before he hit's Linds too. He love Linds soo much and if he loves her why won't he stop hitting Cath. It's so hard. She showed up at my door last night cut up I tried so hard to hold back my rage towards Eddie.
/B

Beneath that entry was a sketch of Catherines back the night she wound up there with cuts across her back when Eddie smashed her against a mirror. He pulled about 20 chunks of mirrored glass out of her back that night:

B She's leaving him!!!!!!!! Finally all the beatings stop!!!!!!!!! I can tell her how I feel!!!!! She's serving him today!
/B

She laughed a little:

B CHRISTOPHER BEZICH! The guy who is touching her and god only knows what else! I had my chance to tell her and I didn't! Paul was a different story he was just a sex toy to her and he knew it but Chris I think he really loves her deep down he really loves her.
/B

Chris she hated him for cheating on her but at the same time she thank's him for bringing her and Gil together:

B He cheated on her that bastard cheated on her!!!! She showed up in my office with a tear streaked face and just completely unfolded in my arms I almost cried but I couldn't I was going to tell her if she liked it or not. After about a gallon of tears I finally said 'You know I love you and I'm always there' and she said 'I love you too' GOD I LOVE HER!
/B

She layed her arm across her stomach that was the night she got pregnant and fulfilled a 18 year long dream:

B Cath and I have been going together for a while. It's been 3 great, hot, sticky months. I love her soo much but for a while shes seemed to cringe from my touch it's scaring me. I love her so much but she cringes from my touch and she won't tell me whats wrong I'm scared.
/B

She never realized how much she hurt him for those two weeks:

B She's pregnant!!!!! Catherine's pregnant with twins and I asked her to marry me and she said yes!
All my dreams are coming true finally!
B

After she finished reading that one she heard a light knock on the door.
