Chapter Nine

Lindsey Willows walks down Fremont Street and into Rampart Casino.

"Hello Miss Willows." Juliana Monroe, the receptionist says.

"Hi, is my grandfather in?"

"He's here but he's in a meeting. If you want you can wait in his office he should be almost done his meeting now."

"Sure I'll do that." Lindsey replies.

Sam Braun, a man of just sixty-eight looks through his office window and sees his grand-daughter reading The Fantastic Voyage by Isaac Asimov. He missed being in his daughters life he loved Catherine a lot and knew he made the mistake in not telling her that he was her father for 40 years. His daughter used to be one of his greatest friends and now she never talked to him though she did cash his check. He settled on the fact that Lindsey didn't hate him and that she was in his life. He decides to go talk to her.

As the office door opens Lindsey looks up and smiles at her grand-father. "Hey Grandpa, how are you?"

"I'm fine Lindsey. How are you?"

"I'm ok thanks."

"What's new?"

"I was wondering if I could possibly stay with you for a couple weeks."

"Why?"

"Because I'm giving mom a break."

"Why?"

"Because all I seem to cause her is pain and frustration and she really doesn't deserve it. I love mom and I really don't want our relationship to get any worse than it already is."

"Ok, but you should at least tell her where you are."

"Then she'll come get me and I won't be able to take a break from her."

"Ok."

Weeks went by; Sara Sidle walks down the hallway, rests her hand on her four month pregnant belly and smiles. Nick and Warrick were out arresting the killer of Careen Duquesne and she was on her way to tell Calleigh what happened.

Calleigh Duquesne sits in her new office looking at a group photo of her old team in Miami. She missed everyone a lot. Eric was a great friend to her and Speed; Horatio wasn't just a boss he was a friend; Yelina was a caring person who Calleigh looked up to; and Alexx was a close friend of Calleigh and Speed's. Cal and Speed would miss there friends in Miami but they would learn to get on without them and would keep in touch with them all the time. At the sound of a soft knock on her door Cal looks up and sees a woman with long blonde hair and blue-green eyes.

"Hello"

"Hi I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Sophia Curtis."

"I'm Calleigh Duquesne. Don't ask how to spell it its southern."

Sophia smiles and then says "Where are you from? I love your accent."

"A small town in Louisiana called Darnell."

"Cool. I was born in Georgia and I don't have much of an accent anymore but I used to."

"Some people tend to lose their accents."

"Yeah and a few are lucky not to. I love accents."

"My friend Yelina is from Colombia and I think she has the most gorgeous accent of them all."

"That's awesome."

"Yup."

"Well I have to get back to work. It was great meeting you Calleigh and Welcome to Las Vegas."

"You too and thanks."

"You're welcome."

Catherine closes her book. She finally accepted the fact that Lindsey needed a break form her. She was still upset and she was worried that her daughter wasn't in a safe place. It had been two months since Lindsey left. Gil and Catherine decided to move in together though it was a tough decision they didn't want anyone especially Lindsey to think that they didn't care that she left. They just wanted to move on the best they could without Lindsey. Catherine hears the front door open and thinking that Gil was arriving home from work she goes to greet him.

"Hey…LINDSEY!" Catherine exclaims pulling her daughter close.

"Hi mom" Lindsey says hugging her mother back.

"God, I've missed you."

"I missed you too." Lindsey says walking into the living room. "Uh…you've done some redecorating?" Lindsey inquires gesturing to the leather furniture and the Butterfly collection hanging on the walls.

"Sort of…Gil moved in last week."

"I see so it didn't take either of you long to get over the fact that I was gone."

"Lindsey…we talked about before we did it. It was a hard decision to make. I love Gil and I love you. I want to be able to be with both of you as much as humanly possible."

"Okay. I'm sorry I snapped at you."

"It's ok."

Gil Grissom walks in the house and sees Lindsey sitting down beside Catherine he almost faints he was incredibly to see Lindsey again. "LINDSEY! You're home?"

"Hi Uncle Gil yes I'm home."

"Thank god I was so worried about you sweetie."

"I'm fine Uncle Gil."

"Great to know that."

"Well I have to get going. I have a meeting to get to." Catherine announces after realizing after realizing what time it is.

"Okay, see you later sweetheart." Gil says kissing Catherine gently on the lips.

After Catherine leaves Gil and Lindsey order pizza for dinner. Gil decides to take the chance to talk to Lindsey.

"Lindsey? Can we talk?"

"Sure what about?"

"About what happened between you and your mom."

"Okay."

"Why do you think you mom cheated on you dad?"

"I don't know. I guess I didn't want to think my dad cheated on mom so I switched it around and believed she cheated on him."

"Lindsey your mom never cheated on your dad."

"I believe that. Mom is one of the nicest people a person could ever meet in their entire life time."

"Yes she is. You know I love your mom a lot right?"

"Yes, and I'm glad she has a guy who truly love her she deserves that."

I wanted to ask you, what you would think if I asked your mom to marry me?"

"That would be fantastic!" Lindsey replies.

Gil smiles then walks over to his briefcase and takes out a midnight blue velvet box and opens it in front of Lindsey to reveal a princess cut pink diamond in White gold. "I bought this about 8 years ago, when I first decided that one day I was going to marry your mother."

"Uncle Gil it's absolutely gorgeous. Wait isn't it dad now?" Lindsey says smiling widely before hugging Gil tightly.

"Its dad but don't call me that in front of your mother until I propose ok?"

"Ok."

Catherine had been sort of ill for couple months, but ignored it because there was a mild stomach flu floating around the lab. Now she was sitting in her bathroom looking at a pregnancy test in her hands. It read positive. She was excited. She was having a baby, not just that Gil Grissom's baby. She puts the test back in the box and throws it in the trash just as Gil yells that he is home.

"Hey." Catherine says smiling widely coming out of their room.

"Hi"

"Gil I have some good news."

"What is it hunny?"

"I'm pregnant."

Gil's eyes widen then he smiles "I'm going to be a father?" Catherine nods then Gil picks her up and hugs her tightly. "This is so fantastic." Gil says putting her down and getting down on one knee taking out the ring and her left hand before looking up at her straight into her blue eyes.

"Catherine, I met you twenty year ago you were beautiful twenty-two year old waitress and I a pathetic twenty-nine year old Forensic Scientist. We have been the best of friends since that day we met in the diner and I love you a lot and I'm glad you are now my gorgeous girlfriend and are standing there in front of me pregnant with my…our baby. Catherine Grace Willows will you marry me?"

Tears trickle down Catherine's face "I love you so damn much of course I'll marry you" she replies as Gil slips the ring on her finger. Catherine kisses him passionately.

Nick and Fiona Stokes walk down the strip.

"Dad?"

"Yes?"

"I love you." Fiona says hugging her dad tightly.

"I love you too munchkin."

"Mommy says we're moving again. I don't want to, can I stay here with you and Aunt Sara?" Nick crouches down beside Fiona. She looked a lot like her mother with big blue-green eyes and golden brown hair and olive coloured skin.

"That's up to your mom." Nick replies hating to disappoint his daughter.

I hope I can I like it here."

"I hope you can too sweetheart."

"Hey guys." Ava says walking toward Nick and Fiona with her other two daughters in each of her hands.

"Mommy." Fiona says running over to her mother and sisters.

"Hey."

Nick and Ava sit on a bench at a park and talk.

"Fiona says you're moving again. Where to this time?" Nick asks.

"Boston."

"Can Fiona stay here?"

"No, she is MY daughter."

"You mean she is our daughter. Ava please let Fiona stay in my life. I love her." Nick pleads.

"Well you weren't there for the first eight years of her life. How do I know you'll be there now!"

"He will be. He loves his daughter and when he truly loves someone he tries his hardest not to hurt them." Sara says with her arms folded across her chest.

"Why isn't it miss perfect? Stay out of this bitch."

"Look whose talking bitch. You should let Nick keep in touch with Fiona because if you don't it will be incredibly hard on them both." Sara was getting fed up with Ava's controlling ways and she wasn't going to let Ava hurt anyone else, especially her and Nick. "Ava please either let Fiona stay here or don't move."

"I don't want my daughter being around her not-so-incredible father and his whore."

That did it Sara lunges at Ava and pushes her to the ground. They roll around throwing punches and pulling hair.

"SARA! HONEY STOP IT!" Nick cries.

"Daddy? What happened? Why are mommy and Aunt Sara fighting?"

"Its ok hun." Nick says to Fiona as he pulls Sara back from Ava. "Sara stop it."

"She called me…"

"Shh. Ava you had no right to call Sara names she did nothing but try to be your friend."

"You know what Nick I can neither of you really want me here so I'm leaving and taking Fiona with me." Ava says as she walks away with her daughters with her never to be seen or heard from again.

"I'm sorry Nick."

"For what? You didn't do anything."

"You lost your daughter. I'm so sorry Nick it was my fault."

"No Sara its not. I know I lost my daughter but the only important thing right now is that I have you and the baby." Nick says placing his hand on her swollen belly.

"I love you." Sara says.

"I love you too. Let's go home."
