Disclaimer: I only own Kaylie Sidle. Ooh! And I own Leigh. Everyone else I'm just borrowing (and just not planning to return!) –Sees angry CSI dudes- uh, I mean I will return them! I swear.

---------------------------

Kay glanced up as Sara walked back into the small hotel room. She glared icily at her mother as she sat down on the second bed.

"Look, Kay."

"Whatever." Sara sighed. She knew it would be useless to talk to her daughter when she was like this. She just hoped Kay would forgive her somewhat soon.

"Well, I'm going to bed. Try to get some sleep hon." Silence. Sara looked over at her daughter, who stared blankly at the TV screen. She closed her eyes and drifted into deep slumber.

Kay took a peek at her mother, waiting for her to fall asleep. She snuck into the bathroom as soon as she saw her mothers breathing even out. She took out her cell phone and quickly dialed the familiar number.

"What?" croaked the groggy voice on the other end. Kay smiled, recognizing the tired voice of her best friend Leigh.

"Hey. Its me."

"Kay, its to early."

"Sorry. But this is really important."

"Alright, just a minute." Kay could hear shuffling coming from the other end. "Ok, talk."

"I found him."

"Who?"

"Santa. My father you ditz!"

"WHAT? Kay, I though I talked you out of that crazy plan." It was true, Leigh had tried to talk her friend out of her search for the truth. But while Leigh was the rational, smart one; Kay was the crazy one, who didn't always choose the smartest things.

"I know. But it was something I had to do. But I found him!"

"Where? What's his name? What's he like? What…"

"Leigh! Calm down! His name is Nick Stokes. He was at the crime lab mom use to work at. He worked with her. Oh you should have seen her around the people she worked with. She looked so happy!"

"Your mom? Looked happy? Never thought I'd see the day." Kay giggled.

"What's more is I think they still love each other. But apparently, I am the product of a one-night stand. They both got drunk and voila! Here I am!"

"Dang."

"I know! So, how's Pita?" She asked, referring to her gelding.

"Good. I rode him today. He was awesome."

"Good. Well, listen, I have to go. I will call you back tomorrow."

"Bye."

"Later." Kay hung up and leaned back against the cool tiled wall. She then quietly opened the door and crept back into her bed, letting sleep instantly claim her.

------------------------------------

"Kay, honey. Wake up."

"Nooo!" Kay swatted at Sara, who was attempting to rouse the sleeping teenager.

"Come on. We are meeting the team for breakfast, remember?"

"Alright. Give me a minute."

About an hour later, the pair finally got on their way. Kay watched in awe as her mother expertly drove through the Vegas traffic to the small café. The team was already there.

"Hey! We thought you weren't going to show."

"Sorry Warrick, but someone decided to take thirty minutes to get up." Kay just rolled her eyes in response.

"Well, sit down. We haven't ordered yet, we didn't know what you'd want." Sara took the seat next to Nick, and Kay sat at a chair they had pulled up.

"So…" Greg looked at Sara expectantly. "You dating anyone." They all laughed.

"Greg, give it up. She wouldn't go out with you then and she wont now." Chided Catherine. Greg feigned hurt.

"Oh well. There's always family…" this drew death glares from Nick and Sara, and a amused look from Kay. "Whoa! I was just kidding."

"We know Greggo." Warrick said, glancing at Sara and Nick. Sara was looking around at the group.

"Wow, they have all changed so much." She mused to herself. It was true- Grissom's hair was now stark white (HA-HA! Just imagine Gris with white hair. Hey… I could have made him bald. Hmmm…) Streaks of grey now were obvious on Catherine's once gleaming hair. Warrick also had specks of grey on his once black hair. Greg's once crazy hair had grown out; he looked a lot more grown up. And there was Nick. He was older now, it was evident. But it was evident that he was still good looking for his age.

"So Kay, tell us about your self." Grissom's voice broke Sara from her thoughts.

"Well, sorry to disappoint you, but if your thinking I'm some smart person like Mom, you have the wrong girl. I am in the average classes, B student. I love to talk. I do competitive horseback riding, and have a horse named Pita. We do childrens hunters, which is the three-foot hunter height in shows. And, that's it." Nick looked at her. Here he was, learning about his daughter for the first time.

"Oh no. Don't look now Sara, but I think an old friend is back." Catherine said, lowering her voice. But it was to late.

"Hey guys Sara?" Sara grimaced at that voice. It was one she would never forget. She forced a smile.

"Hank."

"Wow, it's been so long. You look great!" Kay tried to suppress her laughter as Hank attempted to flirt with Sara."

"So Hank, you still with you girlfriend?" Nick's voice was icy as he stared at the man. Hank shot a glare at him.

"No, single now. What about you Sara?" Kay burst out into laughter.

"I'm sorry, this is just to much. Oh my gosh Mom, you should see the look on your face. It's like that one time Mr. Stevenson tried to get you to listen to him talk about the difference between mechanical pencils and number two pencils." Hank looked down at the girl, as if noticing her for the first time.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't see you. And who might you be sweetheart?" his voice dripped in fake sweetness.

"I am Kay Sidle, Sara's daughter." She said, her tone equally sugary and fake. "Freak." She muttered under her breath. Hank looked at her and she smiled innocently at him.

"Sara, you have a daughter. Wow, um, what about her father."

"I'm her Father." Nick replied. If looks could kill, Hank would have been dead more times then Roger (don't ask)

"Oh. Well, um, it was nice seeing you again Sara." Hank stammered as he started to walk away.

"Bye!" chirped Kay.

"Well, I'm glad he's gone." Announced Sara,

-Ring- Sara quickly picked up her ringing cell phone.

"Hello? She answered. She listened for a second. "Ok, yeah, sorry, I'll be right there." She looked at the rest of the team apologetically. "Sorry guys, I have to go to the convention. Come one Kay."

"Um, Sara, wait." Nick spoke up. She turned and looked at him. "I can take Kay while your gone. If that's alright with her." He looked at the girl. She shrugged.

"Sure. Beats sitting around in the hotel room for the whole time." Sara looked at Nick gratefully.

"Thanks. Um, Kay, I'll call you when it's over."

"Ok."

"Bye. Talk to you guys later." And with that, Sara was gone; leaving Nick alone with the daughter he never knew he had.
