AN: I'm so proud of myself right now. I was having such horriable writers block on this story. I'll bet some people are thrilled right now. So enjoy this new chapter, and I'll hurry to put up more.
"Everything okay," Lena asked when Sara and Greg came back to the waiting room. Sara nodded. Then she looked past Sara and saw Tony, who was now helping Kyle with his drawing.
"What happened," Sara whispered to Lena, a smile on her face.
Lena shrugged. "Kyle, the other boy, his doing, not Tony's. Tony just went along. Valerie, his older sister, suggested we set up a play date sometime," Lena told her.
"That would do Tony good," Greg said and Sara nodded in agreement.
"You...tell her anything," Sara said, still in a low voice. Lena shook her head.
"I figured, if it came to that, you should tell her," Lena said simply. Sara nodded in appreciation.
"Hey, Tony," Greg said, walking up to the little boy. Tony looked up from his drawing.
"Is that your dad," the little boy next to Tony asked. Tony didn't look at him, but kept his eyes on Greg.
"This is Greg," Tony said and didn't elaborate.. Tony started to gather up his colored pencils and drawing paper.
"Maybe we could play sometime," the little boy said, standing up also. Tony nodded.
"Okay," he said. Lena had come over and so had Valerie.
"We'll set it up," Lena said and Valerie nodded.
"Say good bye, Kyle," Valerie said to her little brother.
"Bye," Kyle said smiling happily. Tony nodded, but didn't smile.
Lena took all Tony's suff. from him and put it in her bag. Greg picked the boy up and swung him over his shoulders and carried Tony out piggy-back.
"Are we going to get food," He asked Sara and Lena when they exited the building.
"What do you want Tony," Sara asked, looking at the boy on Greg's back.
"Pizza," Tony said hopefully, actually smiling now. Sara smiled also and nodded.
"Okay. Pizza it is," Sara said.
Greg let out a cheer and started to run towards the car, Tony bouncing on his back. The little boy's laughter filled the mostly empty parking lot.
"What kind of pizza," Sara asked the others once they got into the pizza place and sat down.
"Mushrooms," Lena said quickly. Greg and Sara looked at Tony who nodded.
"Okay," Sara said, getting up to order.
"When are you going to put her on maternity leave," Lena asked Greg, checking to make sure Sara couldn't hear them.
Greg glanced nervously at the front of the restaurant where Sara was at the counter ordering a pizza. "A long time from now," Greg said.
"She's gonna kill you if you even suggest it," Lena said smiling.
"Which is why I'm not going to," Greg said. "Grissom or Ecklie will probably force her to stay home. But that won't be for a while."
"Too nervous," Lena teased.
"Oh yeah," Greg said. Lena and Greg both laughed.
When Sara came back, Tony, looking up at her with innocent eyes, said "Sara, what's maternity leave?"
Greg and Lena's eyes both widened as they stared at Tony. Tony flashed them both a mischievous grin.
"Where'd you hear that honey," Sara asked, glaring hard at both Greg and Lena.
"Lena," Tony replied smiling sweetly.
"You shouldn't be so conniving," Sara told the little boy, knowing full well what was going on. She was also confident that Tony would know the meaning of the word conniving.
"And you guys shouldn't talk about me without my presence," Sara continued looking at Lena and Greg, both of whom smiled sheepishly.
"Busted," Tony mouthed at Greg. Greg stuck his tongue out at the little boy.
Lena was grinning inside. Tony was actually starting to act like a normal, semi-sneaky child. She was thrilled and she was sure Greg and Sara were too.
