Liddy left that Thursday like she was planning on. She had gotten everyone's phone numbers and she promised to call at least twice a week to mom, Gil, Sara, Greg, and I. I wasn't quite certain why she wanted to talk to Greg so often, but I figured that they must have liked talking to one another; plus she was planning on having a job like he used to have, so it did make sense. She also promised to call the rest of our family regularly.

She hugged everyone goodbye and she got in her car and drove off towards California. Mom, Gil, Grandma, and I had tears in our eyes as she drove away.

During her breaks from college she came back to Vegas to see us. During those times we had parties with family and friends, occasionally Liddy would bring Roxie to see us. And during her winter break she did teach me to ice-skate.

She was becoming fast friends with mom's co-workers, and she fit in with everyone very well. She became very good friends with Sara and Greg. By the end of the year, we had all figured out how to fit into our family, and we were comfortable with the changes that had occurred.

When she graduated in the spring, she came to live with mom and I. Then she applied for a job at the crime-lab. The day of her interview, mom and I helped her prepare, and she looked very confident. We wished here well, and she headed off for the lab.

Lydia entered the room where she had been instructed to go. She saw Grissom, Greg, and Ecklie sitting there. She smiled confidently and took a seat. Ecklie and Grissom were there because of their positions in the department, and Greg was there due to his former position within the lab.

Ecklie opened up a folder, and he spoke, "So, you're applying for the position as a tox and chemical specialist. I've read your transcript, and from what I can tell you are an outstanding candidate, I'm very impressed."

"Thank you, I think it may be genetic."

"Yes, it may well be; which brings me to a slight problem. I've read here that you are the daughter of supervisors Grissom and Willows, is that true?"

"Yes, it is. This was all figured out last year, I'm certain that you were told of it."

"Yes, I was. The problem is that it is never a good idea to have family working together, anywhere, let alone in a crime-lab."

"Well, I wouldn't really be working with them, after all, the lab and forensics units may work in collaboration, but they are separate entities."

The three men looked very impressed by here way of speaking.

"Well, that is very true, but still, it is not a very good idea…"

"Conrad, she is capable of doing the work," Grissom interrupted. "Her grades are outstanding, and she would be an asset to our team."

Ecklie thought about it, and after awhile he said, "You've won me over. Welcome to the team Lydia. You can start tomorrow evening at 5."

"Thank you very much sir."

"Sanders, why don't you show her around the lab so that she is familiar with the layout," Ecklie said.

"Sure," Greg replied. Then to Lydia he said, "Shall we?"

She grinned at that, and then they left the room.

"I'm still not very certain about this Gil. I'm not doing this as any sort of favor to either you or Cath; she is very qualified as a tox analyst. I just don't like the idea of her being the daughter of two of the supervisors here. It could bring all sorts of troubles."

"Neither of us is going to cover for her if she makes a mistake. She is an independent woman who is capable of making her own decisions. She is the one who applied to work here, and neither of us are going to treat her any differently than the rest of our co-workers."

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear."

Greg finished showing Liddy the main areas of the lab, so they went into the break room and they sat down. She used her cellphone to call Catherine and Lindsey, both of whom were happy about the news. Then she got off the phone and smiled at Greg.

"What is it?"

"Well, you're done showing me around the lab, and I don't start 'till tomorrow. My parents know that I have the job, and you have the night off… So, what do you suggest doing now?"

Her voice was very suggestive, and he smiled.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I want to go out to get a drink. Would you like to come?"

"I would, but I don't know how my parents would feel about me going out to a bar with an older man."

He pouted slightly. "I'm not that much older than you. Plus the age difference is one year less between us than it is between them. Besides which, they know me."

"Which means they may trust you less with their daughter, after all, I am your boss' only child." She teased.

"Well, we don't have to tell Griss and Cath about it."

"You mean I should keep a secret from my parents?" That might not bode well for either of our jobs."

"Well, it doesn't have to, after all, we are both adults."

"In that case, ok."

They both smiled and laughed, and then they left the room together and headed for his car.

Ok, I changed my mind as to how I was gonna write the story (again!) but anyway, I like this way better : ) Cath/ Griss shiping is comming soon!

I've changed my mind so many times during this story, and I'm gonna tell you all the ways soon, but yeah, I have to study for finals right now, but hey, I updated : )
