Grissom was headed toward Lake Mead when he saw Catherine driving the other way. So, he turned around and headed back towards home.
Catherine was getting out of her vehicle and walking toward the door when he pulled back into the driveway. He took JT from his car seat and walked inside.
"Alright buddy, I'm going to go talk to your Aunt Catherine and thought that you could play in here until Lindsey gets home".
"Otay"! JT replied with a bright smile.
Grissom walked into the bedroom and saw Catherine curled up in the fetal position crying. "Cath, I know you hate me or you're mad at me and maybe don't even want to marry me anymore but, I still love you very much and I just wish that you'd tell me what is troubling you".
"I'm fine". Catherine replied bawling.
"If you were fine you wouldn't be crying so much, so please tell me what's wrong".
"I'm pregnant, I'm 7 weeks pregnant".
Grissom smiled. "I understand that Lindsey and Sara had their suspicions"?
"Well, they were right I just got back from the doctor actually". Catherine replied looking at Gil.
"I thought you were at Lake Mead isn't that is where you like to go when you want to be alone"? Grissom questioned.
"Yes, but I thought if I am pregnant I should confirm it before jumping to anymore conclusions". Catherine spoke in a sad tone.
Grissom lifted Catherine's hand up to his lips and kissed it. "I can't wait to have this baby, because I will have you, Lindsey and a baby to make my life complete. I love you Catherine Willows".
Catherine smiled taking Gil's face in her hands and kissing him once again.
"I've missed your lips, even though it's only been about 14 hours". Catherine added.
Catherine and Gil lay beside each other talking about the baby and how they would need a bigger place.
"Hello"? Lindsey called out.
"In here sweetie"! Catherine responded.
Lindsey smiled as she walked in the room with JT beside her.
"Are you guys ok now"? Lindsey questioned.
"Yes, we're wonderful". Catherine spoke.
"I have an idea, how about we invite the gang over and share the news with them"? Lindsey suggested.
Catherine laughed. "Sweetie, you don't even know the news yet".
"You're pregnant, come on mom I knew when Sara was pregnant the 2nd time around and you've been eating pickles with bananas and peanut butter". Lindsey replied scrunching up her nose.
"Alright, sounds good to me. Gil honey, why don't you call everyone and invite them".
"Ok, then I'd like to see Lindsey alone for a moment".
Catherine smiled. "I'm going to relax for a little while then I'll be out to get things set up".
Lindsey hopped on the bed with JT and cuddled with Catherine. "JT, Aunt Catherine is going to have a baby". Lindsey told him excitedly.
"Baby"! He squealed.
"Alright, everyone will be over in about 45 minutes or so". Grissom spoke.
"Sweetie, why don't you go with Gil and I'll rest here a bit with JT"?
Lindsey kissed her mother and JT and walked out of the bedroom in search of Grissom.
"Uncle Gil- - I mean Dad, what did you want to talk to me about"?
"Here, open this". Grissom said handing a package to Lindsey.
Lindsey opened the package and inside was a beautiful silver bracelet and on it was engraved 'Para mi mariposa, te amo'.
Lindsey started to cry.
"Linds, I know that Eddie was your father and I'm ok with that but, I was wondering if you'd allow me to adopt you as part of my family now"?
"You mean become your daughter for real"? Lindsey questioned.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean". Grissom spoke trying to keep the tears in his eyes from falling.
Lindsey didn't speak. She just wrapped her slender arms around Grissom and hugged him tightly.
"I love you daddy". She replied quietly kissing his cheek.
