Grissom and Lindsey had started to get things ready for the nights festivities when they realized neither Catherine nor JT were anywhere around.
"I'll go check the bedroom". Lindsey smiled.
Lindsey came back out a short time later and said, "They're both sound asleep".
"Alright, we'll let them sleep while we get things started here and once the group arrives they can help us out". Grissom said taking a sip of his beer.
"Heeeelllooooooo anyone home"? A voice called out.
Lindsey rolled her eyes. "In here Greg"!
Greg, Warrick, Mia and Brass had all arrived at the same time.
"Let me guess, you guys just got off shift"? Grissom replied with a smirk.
Mia laughed, "Yea, the generous bug hit Ecklie in the ass and he let us go home early".
"Where's Cath"? Warrick asked.
"She's asleep along with JT". Lindsey said giving the guys their beers and Mia a glass of chardonnay.
"Mama, mama"! JT replied crying as he walked out into the living room.
"Awww sweetie, come here". Lindsey said picking JT up.
JT held onto Lindsey not planning to let go anytime soon.
"Hey buddy, your mom and dad are on their way". Warrick said ruffling the toddler's hair".
Catherine appeared about 20 minutes later refreshed and dressed in a pair of Capri pants, a blue tank and Birkenstock sandals.
"Hey y'all, sorry I fell asleep". Catherine replied pulling her hair back into a pony tail.
"It's ok, we were just watching some of the Cubs/Padre game and Todd Walker just hit a home run to deep right". Lindsey said practically yelling.
Warrick looked at Lindsey and laughed, "Linds, I didn't realize how much of a sports fanatic you were".
"Uncle Gil or rather Dad and I watch the Cubs whenever they're on, and he got me this". Lindsey replied running to her room quick to get something.
"WOW! A Ryne Sanberg jersey"! Greg said completely fascinated.
"Did she just call Grissom- Dad"? Warrick questioned looking at Catherine.
"Yes, he officially adopted me as his daughter". Lindsey said moving her bracelet around on her wrist.
"That's great, I'm so happy for you Lindsey". Greg said pulling her into a hug.
"What did we miss now"? Nick questioned almost yelling as he walked in the door with Sara.
"Grissom adopted Lindsey officially as his daughter". Mia replied.
"Congratulations Griss"! Sara replied hugging him and then Lindsey.
"Mama"! JT squealed.
"How's my sweet baby? Mommy missed you so much". Sara said pulling him into a hug.
"So, what's the big news"? Greg asked sipping his beer eagerly.
Catherine smiled, "Well, I'm about 2 months pregnant and due approximately a week behind Sara and Grissom and I have picked a wedding date".
"Way to go Griss"! Nick cheered.
Grissom put his arm around Catherine and hugged her.
"Sooooo, when's the big day"? Mia asked smiling.
"June 25th". Grissom replied putting his other arm around Lindsey.
"That's only a couple weeks, how are you going to plan something so soon"? Sara asked with wonderment.
"Well, Catherine and I bought a new house and it's rather big and has a bit of land so I thought we could have the ceremony and reception there". Grissom said shrugging his shoulders.
"What exactly is a bit of land"? Brass questioned.
"Twenty acres"! Catherine replied almost laughing.
Warrick and Greg nearly spit their beer across the room.
"Why so much land"?
"We wanted something that we could share with our family, and well that's all of you guys". Grissom replied.
"You can come stay with us anytime, we have a guest house with 4 bedrooms and in the main quarters we have 8 bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms". Catherine said smiling.
"I'm going to go get the grill started, so why don't we go out on the patio"? Grissom suggested.
They followed him out on the patio where they talked about the upcoming wedding and the babies.
Grissom served hamburgers and veggie burgers as well as hot dogs and brats. The men drank their beer and Catherine, Sara, Lindsey and Mia all had water.
A/N2: I was thinking of adding some angst-let me know if that is a bad idea. Please review-they make me continue the story. I'm also not happy with this chapter but oh well such is life.
