Chapter Eight:

-London-

Catherine couldn't hide the smirk on her face. Ever since they were told the first place they were visiting today she had been teasing Grissom. Lindsey didn't understand why and neither did anyone else. At the moment they were on a double-decker bus on there way to the museum and Catherine was trying to keep from laughing. The kids were up on top with one of the hosts and the adults were on the bottom with the other.

"Catherine will you please just laugh now," Grissom said glaring at her.

"It's just so ... funny."

"So I have figured out," he glared at the women laughing next to him. "But it is not that funny!"

"Yes it is Gilbert," she laughed again at the look he gave her. When she saw that she was really upsetting him she calmed down. "I'm sorry Gil. I mean come on we are going to see the Gilbert Collection. It's funny. Give me a smile."

"No," he crossed his arms. She poked him in the side and he laughed. She continued to poke him until he returned the pokes. They were like that till the bus stopped. Being the first off they quickly held hands and she gasped at the house in front of her.

"Big," she said as they walked up to the large two story house.

"Come on guys walk," Lindsey yelled at them walking in front of them. Catherine was astonished by all the artwork she was seeing.

They went through a total of three museums that day with two more to go to tomorrow. Grissom kept telling Catherine all about the art and statues they saw. The history behind nearly everything. The entire time they held hands content in such a simple contact. Lindsey was beaming all day because thirteen kids had told her how cute her parents were together.

Many kids had pointed out that they hold hands while most of the other parents do not. By the time they gotten back to the hotel the two had large smiles on there face. Lindsey ran off with some of the other kids to go into the pool before dinner. The adults went straight to the pool deck and sat down, well all but Catherine and Grissom. They were dancing to the music drifting over from portable stereo Lindsey brought down. It was playing a CD, and the song they were dancing to was Alan Jackson 'Once in a life time love'.

"Catherine," Grissom whispered into her ear as they slowly danced around in the grass. Her skirt was moving swiftly in the breeze. She moved her head softly against his chest indicating she heard him. "I think I love you even more."

"I love you too Gil," she looked up blue meeting blue. His lips slowly made their way down to hers. Slowly her lips parted allow his tongue entrance. His hands tightened around her lower back and hers around his neck. They didn't even notice the song was finished or that nearly everyone was looking at them. When they pulled apart Catherine smiled. "Wow that sucked."

"Catherine!" He yelled chasing after her. She laughed dodging him around on the grass. He finally caught her and spun her around. There was a smirk on his face. His lips crashed down on hers, this kiss was furious. If they hadn't been outside, and in fornt of Lindsey, they would most likely be ripping the clothes off each other. When there lips finally parted she gasped for breath her eyes still shut.

"Wow," she whispered eyes slowly opening. He had a smile on his face which made her smiled. His hand was slowly roaming up the back of her shirt and she smiled. "A little happy?"

"Very," he whispered lightly kissing her on the lips. "God you're beautiful."

"You're not that bad yourself," she smiled. He picked her up and carried her over to a table were another couple was sitting. The looked to be just about there age also. They had met them before and there son John. They were Brittney and Matt Marshall.

"You two are like a newlywed couple." Brittney smirked.

"We will be worse."

"Ah you want to marry me," Catherine smirked. "Dangerous are we."

"Catherine eating ice cream with you is dangerous," he smiled at her fake hurt look. Lindsey ran up saying she wanted to go gift shopping later and they obliged. She went back to playing with Jonathen. "So where do you live?"

"We are actually moving to Vegas. I've retired from the military and we wanted to go some place different. A couple friends of ours are moving our things there now," Matt shrugged. "John is going to go to Butterfeild Academy."

"Linds goes there," Catherine smiled. "Wonderful place."

"Lucky we will be able to afford it." Brittney said.

"Really where will you be working?" Grissom asked curious. "We work together at the crime lab. One salary alone can afford it for us. From what I heard most of the people who go there live in big high priced houses."

"Well we are going to be living in a small house so. Matt here will be working for security at the Tangiers and I will be a cocktail waitress at the Rampart."

"Oh," Catherine fidgeted a bit. Grissom looked at her with a small smile.

"Catherine the integrity of the lab is not in danger so relax."

"Uh ... yeah okay," she smiled slightly. Lindsey ran up and sat on her getting her soaked. "Linds!"

"Mom guess what John is going to go to school with me."

"Really? That is so cool."

"Yeah and his parents work for Sam isn't that cool. Now I can go visit him sometimes."

"Oh no you can't," she said sternly.

"Please mom. I really want to visit him," she begged giving her the puppy dog face.

"No Linds you know we can't do that. Maybe when your older and out of the house."

"But I want to visit him. At least to give him a nice kick in the butt."

"As much as I would love for that to happen we can't allow it," Grissom gave her a look. "Understood."

"Why because he is a murdering basterd who lied to mom?"

"Yes," Catherine nodded her head. Grissom gave her a look. "What she summed it up very good."

"Catherine technically he didn't lie to you."

"Never told me," she shrugged. "You getting tired yet Lindsey. Want to go shopping?"

"No I want to hang with John for awhile he is so cool," she smiled and gave her mom a hug making her white shirt slightly see thru. She ran off jumping back into the pool.

"Grissom this isn't far."

"I know but Ecklie won't appreciate Lindsey going to see Sam."

"Nor would he like the fact were dating and yet we are."

"Technically we aren't. We haven't been on an official date alone yet."

"We're dating get over it bugboy," she smirked. "You're stuck with me."

"That isn't that bad."

"You two know Sam Braun?" Brittney said. "So you worked one of the cases pertaining to his casinos. He says there have been a couple and he has met some of the criminalist at the crime lab. And he actually knows one of them from the time they wore born,"

"Um ... yeah we know him. Not his biggest fans."

"Does he have fans," Grissom asked Catherine laughing.

"My next door neighbor has the urge to ask about him every chance she gets. So yes he has some fans. Probably not a lot."

"Your neighbor asks about Sam," He cocked an eyebrow. "Why is that?"

"Well seeing how my mom slept with him and I am his daughter don't you think they would want to ask questions," she smirked slightly.

"Wait your Sam Braun's daughter," Matt looked shocked.

"Sadly," She replied.

-Shopping-

Lindsey was going through all the weird shirts in the store while Catherine was looking at some other clothes. She had already picked out a shirt for Greg which read 'How not to piss off the boss.' On the front and then on the back it had many different ways not to piss off the boss. One of them was flirting with his girlfriend. Grissom had found it funny and perfect for Greg also. She had chosen to get Warrick a present both him and his wife could enjoy. They got Nick a snow globe with Big Ben in the middle of it.

At the moment the two were searching for something for Sara. Catherine pulled out a shirt she thought was nice and then put it back. Grissom laughed at her slightly while looking through the jewelry. "What do you get someone that you know nothing about basically?" He asked.

"Something odd," she shrugged. "How should I know?"

Catherine walked over to where a bunch of games where and picked one up. Walking back over to Grissom she showed him the marble chess set he smiled. "She loves chess Gris."

"Yeah." He smiled and they paid for there things waiting for Lindsey to finish.

Lindsey ran up to them so they could pay for her things. She refused to let them know what was for who. They went to the hotel dropped there gifts off and then went back out to explore London and buy things for them now.
