A/N I know long wait uh. Well I have had writers block for this story for awhile. And school as started but that's not that big of a problem at the moment. I apologize for any spelling or grammar or any other kinds of errors I make in here. I have no one who reads over my chapters and I'm not a wiz at all this. Hopefully in a couple months my spelling and other mistakes will be far and few. Anyways on with the chapter,
Chapter Four:
Catherine had just walked out of the shower when the doorbell rang. Making sure the towel was tight around her body she walked out to the hallway. "Hold on I'm coming," she yelled when the person continued to ring the doorbell. Yawning slightly she unlocked the door and opened it surprised to see a complete stranger standing there. 'Shit I thought it was one of the gang,' she thought blushing slightly. "Yes?"
"Um ..." The man said a bit uncomfortable take in the towel appearance. She blushed some more realizing how short the towel actually was. "Uh ..."
"How may I help you?" She asked still confused. He handed over a sheet of paper and she read it over quickly. "Don't you people call before bothering someone. What if I had plans?"
"Ma'am plans are nothing when it involves the welfare of a child," he spoke coldly.
"Look Lindsey is doing perfectly fine," she said just as a car pulled up. The back door opened and a very grumpy and angry Lindsey walked out.
"Mom you won't believe it," she snapped and the car quickly pulled out. "Kayla is being such an ass just because I won this thing. I mean for heaven sake don't you think ... mom!"
"What!" She yelled back smiling at her daughter who was standing in shock looking at her.
"God what are you a slut! You never ever answer a door in a towel."
"And if it's Grissom?"
"Well that's different," she smirked and walked past her mom. "Who's the guy?"
"CFS," she said and Lindsey stopped dead in her tracks. Spinning around she marched over to her mom.
"Child and Family Services," she snapped looking at her mom. "But ... are you in trouble? Did I do something wrong? Are they here to take me away from you? Oh my god what am I ..."
"Linds!" She glared at the man then looked at her daughter. "Sweetie you're not going to be taken away from me ever. I promise. No you haven't done anything wrong and no I'm not in trouble. They just want to make sure you are happy and safe."
"I am bye," she slammed the door shut and looked at her mom. "Please get changed."
"Yes mom," she stuck her tongue out.
"Oh you are so grounded for that," she lectured following her back to the bedroom. "No phone. No ... no television. No books. No ... no Grissom."
"But mom," she whined pulling out a pair of jean shorts. Walking to another dresser she pulled out her black bikini. "That's not far I invited the gang over for breakfast."
"Without my permission," Lindsey smiled enjoying the banter. Walking into her mom's bathroom she began to search for stuff to do her hair with.
"What do you want for breakfast," She asked walking behind Lindsey fully dressed, minus a shirt. Lindsey shrugged and handed her the hairbrush and a comb. Throwing them onto the bed she sat down as Lindsey climbed up behind her and began to do her hair.
"No!" Lindsey nearly yelled parting her hair down the middle. Tying a hair thing around one group of hair she began to brush the other. "Last time you and Uncle Grissom destroyed the kitchen with a syrup fight. No more of that. You need to learn to grow up."
"Yes mom," she smiled rolling her eyes like Lindsey does. "How bout I make eggs, sausage, biscuits, bacon, and ... anything else?"
"Nah that is good enough. Is Sara still a vegetarian?"
"No she is gradually starting to eat meat and I know she eats bacon so," she shrugged. Lindsey had finished with the French braid and put a hair tie to the bottom. Starting on the other side she scrunched her nose.
"Mom you used the strawberry shampoo," she accused. "Is there someone special coming over also?"
"Is it a crime to smell good," she blushed slightly. It was true that the only time she used her strawberry shampoo was when someone special, always Grissom, was coming over. Normally she used a non fragrance shampoo in case she got called off to work. Lindsey had even begun to call it the Grissom shampoo.
"Right mom you never use the Grissom shampoo," she said beginning the French braid. "I'm glad you grew out your hair."
"It's not that long," she replied softly. Her mind had traveled to Grissom and waking up in his arms. "Why?"
"Because I like doing this. Your hair," she shrugged tying the hair tie at the bottom. Climbing around her mother she sat on her lap. "It's fun. You look really cute mom. You'll blow him away," she jumped off the bed and rushed off out of the room. When she finally registered what she said and went in search for the kid she found her no where. Sighing she began making the breakfast.
Nick, Warrick, and Greg were the first to arrive having come in the same vehicle. Sara was still back at CSI finishing off some paperwork. While Grissom had left about an hour before anyone else. But when Nick pulled up he wasn't there. Looking at each other curiously they all climbed out and went to ring the door bell.
Greg was about to say something when the door opened to reveal of very striking Catherine Willows. She had on a black bikini with very short shorts. Her hair was up in two French braids that were hanging over her shoulders slightly. All eyes widened as they took in her appearance. Her skin was glistening slightly and was well tanned, mainly from her childhood. "Wow ... you look ... wow," Greg finally spoke.
"Come on in," she said stepping aside letting them in. They walked by and Warrick quickly turned the television on. "Mom come out of your room," She yelled. The three looked at each other when Lindsey walked out looking just like her mother just with a little less revealing bikini top on.
"What," Lindsey grumbled walking over to them. "Oh ... where are the other two?"
"Sara is working on some last minute paperwork, should only take a couple minutes. Grissom ... well not sure," Warrick said. "You too could pass as twins. If," he pointed at Lindsey. "You grew a couple inches and aged ..." he caught Catherine's look. "A couple more years. Like ten."
"Nice save man," Nick said smirking. Catherine just rolled her eyes.
"Help me set the table Linds," She said walking into the kitchen. They couldn't hear what the two were talking about but when Catherine re entered the house they actually heard her whining. "That is so not fair."
"Life's tuff sweetie," Lindsey was smirking as she entered the kitchen and carried out the bottle of orange juice. The doorbell rang and Catherine opened it revealing Sara, also in shorts but she had on a shirt.
"Hey guys," Sara said flopping down next to the boys. Though the television was on all were watching the bickering females out back. "Um ... are they fighting again?"
"I'm ... I'm not sure," Warrick said.
"Wow she looks so much like her mom," Greg said tilting his head to the side. "We must make sure no guy flirts with her ever. I mean it if she is going to look just like Cath then were in trouble."
"You can say that again," Nick said. Sara rolled her eyes. "But then again anyone looking like Sara would too be a problem."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"It was meant to be one," he winked. The doorbell rang again and too there surprised both the blondes ran into the house racing. There was a triumphant yell from Lindsey.
"Meany!" Catherine yelled. "You will ... hi."
"You again," Lindsey yelled storming back towards the living room. The four CSIs looked at each other. She walked out back and sat on one of the patio chairs, knees pulled up to her chest arms wrapped around them. Her chin rested on top of her knees. All eyes went back to the door where there was silence. A couple seconds later Catherine re appeared with a man in a suit behind her.
"This is getting annoying," Catherine was saying pulling a pen from her purse and a pad from a drawer on the small dresser her purse was seated on. She began to write some things down the man looking rather upset behind him. "I am not an abusive mother. I'm not a neglectful mother. I'm not anything that could potentially harm Lindsey or anyone else within my family. I have already informed you people Lindsey is perfecting fine and not in ..."
"Ms. Willows you must understand we only do this because there are reasons ..."
"You do it because it is your job blah blah blah. I've heard it a lot," she handed him the paper. "Those are the many ways you can contact me to set up a meeting. That way you won't be bothering me when I have plans. Or bothering Lindsey when she doesn't need it. As you can see she is perfectly happy, except for when you people are around now leave," she showed him to the door. They never heard the door shut though. Looking at each other again they listened to the silence. Hearing the door shut softly and then a soft thump they looked at each other again.
"Let's go outside," Sara suggested standing. Before they could get outside Catherine appeared with Grissom behind her. His hands were resting on her hip and both were smiling.
"Out back for food," she yelled and everyone headed outside.
An hour later everyone but Catherine was in the pool. She sat on the edge dangling her feet in the water. The others were playing with the toy balls they had in the pool. Nick and Warrick were playing basketball while Sara and Lindsey were playing keep away from Grissom. She smiled looking at her 'family'.
"Come on Catherine," Grissom yelled. "Help me out here!"
"Nah," she smirked. "Plus my mom has grounded me."
"Your mom still grounds you," Sara said shocked. "Wow you are so ..."
"You're ungrounded!" Lindsey yelled laughing. "Now get in this water or I'll reground you!"
"Yes mother," She laughed standing and pulling off her shorts. Tossing them aside she dived in and swam up next to Grissom. "Whose side am I on?"
"Die!" Warrick yelled throwing the ball at Catherine. She screamed and dived under the ball missing her head. Grissom laughed but was soon pulled under. Sara began to laugh and then she too was pushed under the water, by Nick. Lindsey looked at Warrick eyes growing wide as he headed her way. She screamed but soon began to laugh when Warrick too was pulled under. Catherine came up next to Warrick smirking.
"Yeah I got two!" She yelled. She hadn't even noticed Grissom coming up behind her. When she turned around she was met with a kiss. All the heads had reappeared and were smiling. Catherine fell backwards slightly dunking the two under the water, lips still locked. When they reappeared both yelled war at the same time and the war began.
A/N Okay I know this is short and I'm really really sorry about that but ... well I still need some ideas on where they are going to go. So far I only have two countries and I need more. Please please please please review!
