"Who?" Lydia finally managed to say.

"Do you remember a man named Gil Grissom?" She nodded. "Well, I work with him now, he used to be my boss, but since I was promoted to swing-shift supervisor and he is grave-shift supervisor, we're equals. I had a relationship with him years ago, and he may be your father. We're friends now and I wouldn't want that to be different, but we have both suspected that you are his for some time."

Lydia nodded again slowly. "Do you think we can do a DNA test?"

"Yes, I'll have it done at the lab, it can be kept a secret."

"Alright, should we go tonight?"

"Sure."


An hour before mom's shift started the three of us went down to the lab. Greg, Sara, and Grissom met us there. Grissom looked at Lydia with wide eyes, but I didn't understand why just then.

The six of us sat around a table in the break room. And they talked about why we were there, that's when I understood the looks that were being cast between Liddy, mom, and Grissom.

"Sara told me about everything that happened," Greg began. "But I don't see what I can do."

"We want a DNA test." Grissom answered.

"That's not my job anymore. You guys should ask Mia."

"We trust you Greg," mom said. "We know that you can keep it a secret. You did when you tested to see if I was Sam Braun's daughter."

"Yeah, but that caused a bunch of problems."

"Yeah, well this isn't related to a case," mom responded.

"Then you guys should probably go to a private lab," Sara said. "Using the lab for personal reasons, especially on company time is not allowed. The two of you are supervisors, you should know better, and it could get Greg in a lot of trouble."

Mom and Grissom both nodded. Everyone became quiet, they were thinking of what to do. Then Greg decided to come up with an amusing solution to lighten the mood.

"Well, if you really want to you guys could go on a talk-show like 'The Maury Show' or something like that." He was laughing as he said it. Grissom gave him a scolding look, but the rest of us just started laughing.

"Hey, it would make an interesting show," I giggled out.

"Wait a moment, my running away was a reported crime right?" Both mom and Grissom nodded. "Well, wouldn't you need to close the case? So, to prove that I am who I say I am you would have to do a DNA test."

"Well, with those smarts she probably is your daughter Grissom." Greg said, Lydia smiled at him, and he smiled back at her rather flirtatiously.

"She always was a smart one," mom said. "I think that will work."

"Well, I can do the swabs in your office Grissom, and while it's being processed, I can get the file. If Mia gets the printout before I do, I'll tell her not to read it. How does that sound?"

"That'll work, shall we go to my office?"

So mom, Liddy, Grissom, and Greg all left the room, and they went towards Grissom's office.

"You feel out of place don't you?" Sara asked me.

I thought it over. "Yeah," I answered finally. "It's strange, I feel like I don't really fit."

"I felt like that in my family too. Don't worry about it though, the three of you can work on it together. Plus it's all new to the three of you and maybe Grissom too. It will take time though ok?"

I nodded, it could work, it had to work.


I'm so tired right now, I saw Star Wars last night, and then I only got 3hours of sleep before school, and tonight is the season finale of CSI, and I have a stupid chorus concert, so I have to tape the show, and I won't see half of it until tomorrow.

Anyway, I hope you like the chapter, I love the reviews you guys give, thank you.

By the way, this will never turn into a ship story, as easy as I could do that, I know that some people would be unhappy about it, so I will not ship in this story. (...well, Greg does have a chance with someone...but that's a surprise for later : )
