Everyone was hanging around in the backyard by the pool. Sara had stopped by for a few minutes and wished Lindsey a happy birthday. Gil could tell what was bothering her, but decided to wait another time to ask her about it. Mariah and Greg began talking and became close. Nick and Warrick were in the pool with Lindsey, Diane, and a few of her other friends and were clowning around. Gil and Catherine were sitting on the lawn chairs next to the pool. Nick splashed Lindsey but ended up hitting Gil and Catherine.

"Hey! Watch it you little terd!" Catherine said yelling at Nick and pushing her chair away from the pool.

"Come on in, Mom! The water feels so good!" Lindsey said jumping on Diane's back and playing chicken fight with Nick and Warrick.

"I'll come in later, Linds. Okay!" Catherine said yelling over all the screams coming from the pool. Lindsey smiled and got back to her game.

"She's having fun." Gil said pointing to Lindsey.

"She is. I'm glad everyone was able to come." Catherine said laying back on her lawn chair.

"Cath ... no one would miss Lindsey's party."

"How would you know?"

"Because I wouldn't let them!" He said smiling. Catherine looked over at Mariah and Greg and giggled.

"Those two look so cute together, Gil."

"They do. I guess we better warn that friend of yours. Greg could be a handful."

"Mariah will straighten him out. You just wait and see." All of a sudden, you could hear Mariah and Greg scream in the background. Nick and Warrick had climbed out of the pool and were chasing Greg and Mariah around. Nick caught Mariah and Warrick pushed Greg. All four fell into the pool and made a huge splash.

"Greg! I can't believe you let them do that to me!" Mariah said smiling and pushing her hair out of her face. Lindsey jumped up and swam to Mariah.

"Ohhh Mariahhhh!"

"Ahhhhhh!" Mariah swam behind Greg and put her arms around him. Greg of course, couldn't get the smile off his face and protected Mariah from Lindsey. Catherine looked over at Warrick and Nick who were in the corner of the pool ... apparently coming up with something. She turned to Gil to find he was staring at her.

"Oh. Do I have something on my face?" Catherine said quickly and covering her face with her hands. Gil laughed and shook his head no.

"Nah. I was just ... day dreaming, I guess."

"Hmm. What about?"

"Nothing important really. It was one of those things were you just stare off into space I guess..."

"Oh. Really? You've been acting weird ever sense you had that talk with Sara. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah. Everything's fine." Gil said looking behind Catherine. His eyes grew wide and he jumped off his chair. The next thing Catherine knew, she was in the pool and was soaking wet. She popped up from under the water and looked around. Nick popped up and moved the hair out of his face. Catherine pushed him under the water and screamed.

"You little midget! I told you not to get me wet!" Catherine said laughing.

"Warrick! Stay away from me!" Gil said quickly walking around the edge of the pool. Catherine signed for Nick to come closer and once he did, she smacked him upside the head.

"Ow! What was that for!"

"For getting me wet!"

"Okay. What did you REALLY want?"

"I'm going to go push Grissom into the pool. You guys keep him busy while I climb out. Alright?"

"Easy enough." Nick swam to where he was infront of Gil.

"Oh GRISSOM! You know ... you're coming in this pool one way or the other."

"OH really ... and what makes you think..." Catherine came up behind him and locked her arms around his stomach. She leaned forward and they both fell into the pool. Barely missing Nick.

"Whoa! Go Mom!" Lindsey said laughing and pointing at her Mom and Dad. Lindsey quickly turned to Diane and smiled.

"Girl ... I forgot to tell you something."

"Oh god. Let me guess ... you can fit carrots up your nose?"

"Okay. YOU TOTALLY RUINED THE SURPRISE!" Lindsey said smaking Diane in the head and laughing. Both girls giggled and swam away from all the attention.

"No really. What is it what you wanted to tell me?" Diane said seriously.

"Okay. If I tell you ... you can 't tell anyone. You hear?"

"Yeahhhh buddy!"

"Well ... today ... I found out Bug Man over there is my real Dad." Lindsey said smiling.

"Lindsey! That's great! Isn't that always what you've wanted!"

"Yeah! I was so happy when he told me. But the thing is ... he still has to tell my mom."

"Well ... how is he gonna do that!"

"Well ... you know how I told them I was letting 10 girls come sleep?" Diane shook her head. "Well ... the only people that are really staying tonight are you and Mariah." Lindsey said smiling.

"Mariah? Ashley's cousin?"

"Yeah! I could've sworn I told you she was coming!"

"No. I don't remeber you telling me. Where is she!"

"Flirting with Greg probably."

"Oh no! She can't take my Greggo! No way! NO WAY!" Diane was about to get out of pool and find Mariah but Lindsey laughed and pulled her back into the pool.

"Chill. He's too old for you anyways." Lindsey said smiling. A few hours, and most of Lindsey's friends left. It was only Gil, Catherine, Lindsey, Diane, Mariah, Greg, and Nick at the house. Warrick and Sara had left a little early. Lindsey and Diane ran inside the house to get showers while the rest sat outside.

"Hmm. That was one hell of a party." Nick said laughing and drying his hair with a towel.

"Who you tellin? I'm surprised the neighbors haven't called the cops on us. It's almost 12 in the morning." Catherine said giggling. Nick yawned and got up.

"Well ... I'm out for tonight. Where's Lindsey?"

"RIGHT HERE!" Lindsey and Diane ran out with wet hair. They had just gotten out of the shower. Lindsey ran into Nick's arms and hugged him tight.

"Thanks for coming Uncle Nick."

"No problem kiddo." Nick soon left after.

"Hmm. Linds! I'm hungry! Let's go get something to eat!" Diane and Lindsey went back in the house. Leaving Greg, Mariah, Gil, and Catherine outisde.

"Yeah well ... I guess I should be going to. Spiffy is probably getting lonley without me." Greg said shrugging and getting up from the chair. Mariah got up too and walked with him inside the house. Lindsey and Greg hugged tight before Mariah and Greg were standing outside on the front pourch.

"Well ... it was nice meeting you Mariah." Greg said smiling. Mariah smiled back and slowly leaned in towards him. Greg wrapped his arms around her and rocked her back and forth.

"We gonna see each other again Spike Lee?" Mariah said giggling.

"Of course." Greg kissed Mariah on the cheek and walked off to his car. Mariah watched him drive away and walked back inside the house. Lindsey, Diane, Catherine, and Gil were all peeking out of the window. When Mariah walked back in, she pressed her back against the door and sighed.

"AWW! MARIAH! HOW ADORABLE!" Lindsey said running and huggin Mariah tight.

"What the ... Linds!" Mariah said turning red. She burried her head in her hands and sat down on the couch.

"Dont worry, Mariah. This isn't the first time Lindsey's done something like this." Catherine said staring at Lindsey and walking into the kitchen with Gil close behind her.

"Mariah! Tell me ... how was it! Do you like Greg! Because if you do ... I can get you guys together."

"Calm down Lindsey! I do like him ... and ... yeah. Get us together!" Mariah said smiling and hugging Lindsey. All 3 girls made their way upstairs and watched TV.

"I wonder what Mom and Dad are doing ..." Lindsey said smiling.

"Hmm. Wanna go find out?" Mariah said smirking. All girls tip toed down the stairs, and hid in the same place Lindsey did a few days ago.
