"Mom, Gil, wh.. what, what on earth…" Lydia said, barely able to speak.
Catherine was the first to regain her composure. So she stood and said, "Well, Greg, what are you doing here, and I wasn't expecting you to be back for awhile Liddy."
"Apparently," she responded. "So, is this something that I should know about, or what?"
Grissom stood next to Catherine and he put his arms around her. "Liddy, your mother and I have decided to start dating again."
All four of them started to smile. "Really, are you guys certain," she questioned.
"Yes," Catherine answered. "We want to make a new start, and we want to try things over again."
"Good, I'm glad. Well, I suppose this is as good a time as any to tell you that Greg and I have decided to start see each other."
Catherine and Grissom were speechless, Greg looked nervous, and Lydia was smiling so brightly that it could have lit up the room. The parents gained composure, and Grissom smirked. "Greg, do you think that it's a good idea to date your boss' daughter?"
"Well, um, I love her, and I don't see why not."
Both women smiled even more at that comment, they were such romantics. "Well, with an attitude like that I'm very happy for the two of you," Grissom responded. "But if you hurt her, it might be very bad for your job Greg." His tone was slightly threatening, and although Greg looked a little worried, they all started to smile and laugh.
"Well, why don't we all take seats, there's plenty to eat and drink and there are mindless TV shows to watch," Catherine suggested.
"Sorry Cath, but I've got to go," Grissom said. "I'm happy though."
"So am I," she replied. "Well, what about you Greg?"
"I gotta go too, sorry Cath, sorry baby."
Liddy kissed Greg lightly on the cheek and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll see you tomorrow ok?"
"Alright," Greg replied.
Then the couples kissed goodbye, and said their I love yous. Grissom also hugged his daughter goodbye, and then the two women were left alone in the house. They sat down on the couch smiling brightly.
"Well mom, I guess we both got the men of our dreams tonight."
"Yeah, we did. I can't believe that you and Greg are together, or that Gil and I are together, it's so sudden."
"I know, but I'm happy, I can't wait until Linds finds out."
"I'm not certain how I'll tell her."
"Don't worry about it mom, she'll be happy with it, she likes Gil, she knows that he's good for you."
"Thanks for the comfort Liddy."
"Any time mom."
"So I'm taking you to work tomorrow?"
"Yes, we left my car at the lab so that we wouldn't be using two cars to go to the same places. You and I should car pool anyway since we do live together."
"Yeah, I also carpool with Nick and occasionally Warrick, I used to carpool with Sara, but we haven't been on the same shift in over a year and a half. We decide at the beginning of the week who carpools which days, so I'll get you in it too."
"Thanks mom, well, I'm tired so I'm gonna call it a night."
"Ok, dear heart. I love, sleep well."
"I love you too mom, good night."
So they hugged each other good night, and then they went off to bed.
