AN: Wow, this tory is weird. This chapter, as well at most of the other chapters, ended up much longer then I anticipated. Unlike the other stories I wrote where the chapters ended up shorter. LOL. Oh well. This chapter is dedicated to Sarah, who dosen't watch CSI, and will never read this, but I have to dedicate it to her because she was my inspiration for Kiley.:) Also, a note: All incidents involving Greg in this chapter actually hapened, mostly to me. Including the cat thing. :)

Greg and Archie, with the help of Greg's brothers and sisters, had prepared for the birthday party. Kiley helped too, but not as much. She couldn't leave the house to much or it'll draw suspicion to herself. And she couldn't tell Sara she had met Greg.

Greg also gave Nick a verbal invite, which he accepted immediately. He didn't know Sara very well, but he was willing to go to her birthday party. And he was sworn to secrecy.

It took Greg and Archie a whole day to locate Gil Grissom. They knew what grade he was in and found out what classes he took, but the never seemed to be able to find him. They eventually caught up with him. Greg felt a little uncomfortable around Gil. In the end, Gil agreed to give Greg a present to give to Sara, but decided against coming to the party.

"Sara," Kiley called walking into her foster sister's room. Sara looked up from the book she was reading.

"Happy birthday," Kiley said happily. Sara grinned. "Put your book down, we have to go," Kiley instructed. Sara looked at her curiously.

"What?"

"We have somewhere to go," Kiley said impatiently.

"Where, and for that matter why," Sara asked, but she shut her book. Kiley rolled her eyes.

"Please, just humor me,"Kiley said. Though her foster sister was acting kind of shifty, Sara agreed. She changed and she and Kiley were out the door by 12:30.They took the bike. Kiley pedaled, because she knew where they were going. Sara sat on the handlebars. Kiley prayed they wouldn't run into any cops or anything like that. She peddled fast, hoping that Greg was ready.

When they got to Greg's house, Kiley stopped the bike. Sara hopped off from her place on the handle bars and looked at Kiley curiously.

"Okay, where are we," she asked. Kiley refused to answer, instead led Sara around the side of the house, towards the back yard. Then Sara felt someone press her hands over her eyes. She was about to shift into panic mode when someone spoke.

"Guess who," Greg said in a sing song voice. Of course, Sara recognized his voice and her curiosity spiked.

"Greg," she questioned. She still didn't know what was going on.

"Yep," Greg said happily in her ear and Sara was overly aware of how close he was. His breath tickled the back of her neck. Then he removed his hands and Sara opened her eyes.

"Surprise," came the chorus of voices. Archie, Nick and Kiley were outfitted in party hats and there were several other kids that Sara didn't recognize, but guessed that they were Greg's siblings.. All had huge grins on their faces. Sara smiled. She turned around and saw Greg, also grinning. He was wearing a orange, and green striped hat. She hugged him tightly.

"Thanks," she said happily. Then she turned to the others. "All of you. Thanks."

Kiley shrugged and walked over to Sara. "Hey, we had to throw you a proper party," she said smiling.

"Yeah," Nick said. "Every kid deserves a party.

"What about me," came the voice of one of the smaller kids. He looked about 4 or 5. "I want a party!" He had on a pouty face, his cheeks puffed out, and looked like the fact that this wasn't his party was a personal offense.

"Trent," said one of the girls patiently. She looked older then Greg, but that could be just because Greg looked so young. But that had more to do with his personality then actual appearance. "You can't have a party. It's not your birthday."

Trent looked at his sister and then sat down and continued his pouting. Greg laughed.

"Don't mind him, he's 5, thinks the world revolves around him," The girl said.

"Oh yeah, introduction," Greg said hopping on the balls of his feet. "In order from youngest to oldest. Trent, Brittany," he pointed to a little girl about 8 with a smile that would give Greg himself a run for his money. "Cilla and Lila," he said pointing to the two older girls that were quite obviously twins. They were both dressed in the same pair of jeans, and red t-shirt. "And Nathan," Greg said, pointing to an older looking boy who was wearing dark clothes and didn't seem that interested in the party.

"And guys, this is Kiley, and Nick and the birthday girl," Greg said. He skipped over Archie because they all knew him. Archie spent enough time at Greg's house to make sure of that. "Okay, introductions, over, let's have fun," Greg exclaimed.

The party was fun. Greg parents only made one appearance, and Greg did the introductions again. But other then that they kept out of the way and let the kids run the show.

Greg decided that he was to be in charge of the BBQ-ing. Not the best decision in the world. He ended up burning half the burgers after He nearly blew up the entire back yard when he poured too much lighter fluid on the coals. Nathan took over the cooking after Greg burned the burgers and Greg took up cutting the watermelon.

And there was another incident when Greg nearly sliced off his thumb. Greg let out a blood-curdling scream. It shocked Kiley, Sara and Nick, but Greg's siblings seemed used to it.

"What'd you do this time," Cilla asked walking over to him. Greg, who seemed in shock, showed him thumb to his sister. Cilla sighed and after determining that he wouldn't need stitches, but a band-aid on his thumb.

"There you big baby," Cilla said. Greg replied with his normal goofy smile.

"Now you sit over there and do something that doesn't involve anything with knifes, lighter fluid, cleaning fluid, a broom, a heavy box or any kittens," Cilla said. Greg stuck out his tongue and stalked angerly over to Sara, Nick and Archie. Kiley was helping Nathan with the cooking of the burgers.

"Kittens," Nick asked, surprised. Archie and Greg both grinned.

"Oooo it's a funny story," Archie said. "Greg decided it would be a good idea to give the neighbor kitten a bath. So he spayed it with the hose. The kitten attached itself to Greg's head and he had to go to the hospital to get the kitten off. And this was a little kitten," Archie said indicating the size with his hands. The four kids cracked up.

"You're really accident prone aren't you," Sara said. Greg shook his head stubbornly.

"I am not accident prone. I'm prone to fits of very bad luck, often involving things with claws, nails and/or sharp edges," Greg said.

"Or hot things," Nick pointed out.

"Or heavy things," Archie put in.

"Or cats,"Sara said.

Greg puffed his cheeks out and did a great impression of Trent having a pouting fit.

They ate their burgers happily. Sara also had several slices of watermelon. Greg had stuck two cheese doodles up his nose, causing roaring laughter.

"Greg," Cilla said. "Let's not do this again."

"Again," Kiley said after she had stopped laughing.

"He stuck beans up his nose once and we have to take him to the hospital to have them taken out," Cilla explained. She said this all with a straight face and Sara suspected that nothing would surprise her, or anyone else in Greg's family for that matter. They did have to deal with Greg after all.

"Some bad luck," Sara said with a laugh. Greg shrugged and smiled. Cilla reached over and yanked the cheese doodles out of Greg's nose.

"Ow," he exclaimed. This was met with another roar of laughter. Sara was really enjoying herself. This was a lot of fun. She liked Greg's family. She liked the disorganized chaos.

After they finished eating, the all got into a circle and put Sara in the center. They gave Sara her presents. Trent and Brittany had drawn Sara a few colorful pictures, mostly of butterflies and fish. Greg handed her a present he said was from Gil Grissom. It was a small glass box with a very beautiful moth pinned in it. The note said "Luna Moth".

The other present she got was in a big box. It was wrapped in plain white paper that said : From: Kiley, Cilla, Lila, Nathan, Archie, Nick and GREG. Greg had written his name in huge letters and drew several smiley faces over the package.

Inside was another box. Sara rolled her eyes at this and opened the second box. She found several Whodunit books and Solve-It-Yourself mysteries. She grinned, thrilled with her present.

"Thanks guys," she said sincerely. He eyes found Greg's and her smile widened.

"Hey, don't look at me," Greg said, holding up his hands. "All your sister's doing."

Sara hugged Kiley tightly. "Thanks," she said. Kiley smiled. "What are sisters for."

"CAKE," Greg exclaimed and the two younger kids cheered.

When the day was drawing to a close, the older kids sat in front of the grill. Nick's mother had called and he had to go home. The two younger kids were inside getting ready for bed. Nathan, by his own choice, was in his room. So it was Greg, Sara, Kiley, Lilla and Cilla sitting around the grill making s'mores.

It was a great end to a great day. Sara sat in the grass, her mouth sticky from melted chocolate and marshmallow. Greg came over and lay down next to her.

"Did you have a good day," Greg asked, with that goofy grin again.

"Oh yeah," Sara said enthusiastically. Several feet away, Kiley turned away from the grill and gave Sara a small smile. She was the only one who looked. Everyone else kept their eyes on the fire, and their marshmallow. But each and everyone of them had small smiles on their faces. And they were trying very hard to resist the temptation to turn around.

Sara was trying to keep the butterflies in her stomach under control and Greg was trying to do the same. But neither could deny how close they were. Greg turned on his side to look at her, and in affect coming a little closer to her. Sara looked into Greg's dark eyes. She could easily get lost in his eyes and tried to keep her head on this earth right now.

"What," she said. He voice was little more then a whisper. Over at the grill, Kiley was having a silent giggling fit.

Greg's eyebrows knitted together, like he was trying to come up with an appropriate answer to Sara's question. He couldn't come up with one. "Nothing," he said simply. Sara smiled softly and shivers went down Greg's spine. The butterflies in his stomach started going crazy.

"Thanks Greg," she said, using the same low, soft voice. Now she turned on her side and propped herself up on her elbow so they were eye level, even though they were both on the ground.

"No problem," Greg said happily, trying to hide his giddiness. Sara leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. That was probably when time seemed to really slow down. Greg placed a hand on Sara's cheek and it sent jolts of electricity through her body.. This time, when she looked at him, she really did get lost in his eyes.

Sara felt their lips meet and the world disappeared around them. She only noticed Greg and his hand on her cheek, and his lips on hers. She could taste the chocolate and marshmallow on his lips. She kissed him not minding one bit the taste of s'mores.

They were brought out of their trance when something in the grill popped and Kiley's silent giggles became fits of loud laughter.
