A/N: Hey y'all! Here is the next chapter, I hope you like it! Enjoy!!

Catherine and Grissom got home at about 1:45 to find Hannah and Lindsey asleep on the couch. Grissom closed and locked the door and walked to Catherine. Catherine just looked around, something was different. She didn't know what it was, but something was different.

"They look so cute." Catherine whispered. "Can you take Linds upstairs? I have a phone call to make."

"A phone call, at 2 in the morning?"

"Yeah, I want to call Hannah's father to tell him we were late. I think I'll ask if she can stay until tomorrow morning so I don't have to wake her up."

"Okay." Grissom said bending to pick up Lindsey. She moved a little but didn't wake up. "Shh. Come on kiddo." He whispered as Lindsey started to move. "Okay, I'll be back." He whispered to Catherine who was headed to the phone.

Grissom tucked Lindsey in and watched her sleep for a few moments. He quietly got up to leave the room, leaving the door partially open. He walked downstairs, and he could hear Catherine talking.

"Okay Mr. Carson, thank you. And I am really sorry for being so late. Okay, thanks. Bye." Catherine finished her call and hung up the phone. She looked around the house and finally realized what looked so different. Everything had been cleaned. Catherine looked at Grissom, astonished.

"What is it?"

"The house...she cleaned everything."

"Wow, she did didn't she?" Grissom said looking around as he let out a big yawning. "So what is going on with Hannah's father?"

"He said it was fine for her to stay for the rest of the night. He said we could bring her home anytime before dinner tomorrow, so Hannah and Linds can hang out for a while."

"That's good." Grissom said yawning again. "I think we should get some sleep."

"Okay. Just let me get a blanket for Hannah and have something to eat before I go to bed."

"Okay. Goodnight. I love you." He said kissing her forehead.

"I love you too." Catherine said walking into the kitchen for a drink. She came back to sit in the living room. She looked over to Hannah and noticed she was holding Tiger. She wondered if Lindsey gave it to her, or if she had dropped it when Grissom moved her. Catherine sat there for a while in silence and after a while, decided to go to bed.

--------------------------------------

Hannah woke up to the sound of cartoons on the television. She opened her eyes and saw Lindsey on the floor.

"Hey Linds. What time is it?"

"Um, 8:00." Lindsey said never turning from the TV.

"Really? Is your mom still asleep?"

"No, I'm right here." Catherine said from the kitchen. "Good morning sleepy head."

"Good morning." Hannah said standing up and folding her blanket.

"Hey Linds. Can you go upstairs and tell uncle Grissom to wake up please. Tell him breakfast is ready."

"Okay mommy." Lindsey said running up the stairs.

"Hannah, your dad came by last night and brought some clothes for you. They are on the table."

"He did? Thank you." Hannah said taking her things to the bathroom to change.

Lindsey went upstairs into her mother's bedroom and heard Grissom's snoring. She climbed up on the bed and shook him violently.

"Uncle Grissom, you have to wake up. Breakfast is ready." Lindsey said shaking him more. When he didn't move, she talked louder. "Uncle Grissom! Wake up! Breakfast is ready!"

"What? Oh, hey Linds. Five more minutes okay?" He said turning over. Lindsey climbed over his side and put her face right in front of his to where their noses almost touched.

"But mommy said you have to get up now." Lindsey said as Grissom opened his eyes. He jumped when he saw how close she was.

"Fine, I'll sleep for five minutes, and you stay here and say you couldn't wake me up." He said smiling.

"Uncle Grissom! Come on, I'm hungry." Lindsey said as he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. She put her hand on his arm to shake him again when he grabbed her and picked her up. She squealed as he started to tickle her.

"Lindsey! Gil! Stop fooling around breakfast is on the table, let's go!" Catherine yelled up the stairs.

"Uh oh, she yelled, I guess we had better get moving." Grissom said as Lindsey rolled of the side of the bed and ran out.

"We're coming mommy! Uncle Grissom, hurry up!" Lindsey said as she poked her head back into the room.

"Okay, I'll be down in a minute." He said getting dressed and heading downstairs. He sat down at the end of the table, everyone else was waiting for him.

"So, did you girls have fun last night?" Catherine asked smiling.

"Yes ma'am. And we both behaved. And we didn't break anything." Hannah said smiling. They finished their meal talking about random things. When everyone finished, Catherine got up to clear the table and Hannah quickly rose to help her.

"Oh Hannah, it's okay. You don't have to do that."

"No it's okay. I want to help."

"Well, alright. If you insist." Catherine said smiling as they walked into the kitchen. Catherine began to wash the dishes and handed them to Hannah who was waiting with a towel. "Hannah, I just wanted to say thanks for watching Lindsey last night."

"It was a pleasure. She's really a great kid."

"Well, it takes on to now one." Catherine said as Hannah blushed. "I also noticed that you did some cleaning."

"Yeah well, after Linds went to bed I didn't feel like watching TV so I figured I would let you come home to a surprise. It was no trouble. I know how hard you work all he time so I thought you could use some help." Hannah said smiling. "Lindsey helped a little bit here and there before we watched Sleeping Beauty."

"Ah, her favorite. Well, I just wanted to say that you didn't have to do it, and I appreciate it." Catherine said wiping the counter and drying her hands. She went into her purse and went back the sink and held out some money for Hannah. "Here, take this. It is for everything you did last night."

"No thanks. I said before, it was my pleasure."

"Please, take it. You watched Linds and you cleaned my house which I still don't believe. Please take it."

"No really. It's alright."

"Well, there has to be something I can do for you then."

"Hmm, I don't know. But when I think of it I'll let you know." Hannah said smiling.

"Okay. Thank you so much Hannah."

"No problem."

"What are you ladies talking about in here?" Grissom asked walking behind Catherine and kissing her neck.

"Nothing of interest to you." Catherine teased.

"Not true, anything you say is interesting." He said smiling. "If it wasn't, I would spend a whole lot of time on the couch." Grissom said laughing.

"Watch it you." Catherine said hitting his arm. "Where is Linds?"

"She went to get dressed. I think she wants to go swimming today."

"Well, I'm up for that. Hannah, do you want to come with us? You have permission to hang out with us until dinnertime."

"No thanks. I don't have my swimsuit."

"Oh, well we can stop by your house to pick it up."

"No it's okay. I uh, still have a few things I have to do at home before shift tonight."

"Well, alright. Linds is going to be disappointed though."

"Yeah, I know. Maybe I can go next time."

"Okay." Catherine said taking the dishtowel from Hannah and hanging it up to dry. "Well, I'm going to go change. Lindsey will probably be down in a minute."

"Okay. I'll talk to her about it." Hannah said as Catherine and Grissom headed upstairs. A few seconds later, she heard thumping from the stairs. Lindsey ran down to her excitedly.

"Hannah! We get to go swimming! Isn't that cool? You're coming right?"

"I'm sorry kiddo. I can't go this time. But I'll try to come next time if I can okay?"

"Oh, alright." Lindsey said sitting on the floor.

"Okay girls, are we ready to go?"

"I don't want to go mommy."

"Why not baby?"

"Cuz hannah can't go." Lindsey said frowning.

"No Linds, go and have fun. If you go, I promise I'll come with you next time."

"Okay. I'll go." Lindsey said staring at the floor. Suddenly she looked up with wide eyes. "Mommy! Can we see if Greggo can come? Please?"

"Okay, you guys get in the car and I'll call him."

"Okay mommy." Lindsey said grabbing Hannah's hand and running outside.

"I'll see you outside."

"Okay. I'll only be a minute." Catherine said picking up the phone to dial Greg's cell number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Greg, it's Catherine."

"Oh, hey Cath. What's up?"

"Not much. Lindsey was wondering if you wanted to go swimming with us today."

"Today? I'm sorry Cath, I uh, have plans for lunch."

"Do they include Sara?"

"Yeah." Greg said. Catherine could tell he was smiling.

"Well, maybe she can come."

"Well, she is cooking right now, and I think she is having a little trouble. Maybe some other time?"

"Alright. Thanks Greg, we'll see you tonight."

"Okay. Tell Linds I'll make it up to her okay?" Greg said as Catherine heard Sara scream in the background. "Ow! Dangit!"

"Is she okay?"

"I don't know. I'll talk to you tonight."

"Okay. Bye Greg." Catherine said hanging up and walking outside.

"So can he?" Lindsey asked anxiously.

"I'm sorry sweetie. He has plans with Aunt Sara."

"Oh man." Lindsey sighed. "I really wanted him to come!"

"I know baby. But hey, we can still have tons of fun. I promise." Catherine said pulling out. After a few minutes Catherine looked in the rear-view mirror and saw Lindsey pouting as they turned into Hannah's driveway.

"Bye Linds. Have fun okay?" Hannah said hugging her. "Bye Catherine, bye Grissom. Thank you for the ride and for breakfast."

"Anytime Hannah. Thank you for all of your help." Catherine said smiling.

"Yeah Hannah, you are welcome anytime. We'll see you tonight. Don't be late." Grissom said as Catherine started to back up.

"I won't." Hannah called to them as she walked up the steps to the porch where her father was sitting. "Hi dad. Thank you for bringing my clothes for me last night."

"You're welcome. Go upstairs and put your things away and finish your chores. I want to talk to you later."

"Yes sir." Hannah said as she went inside.

-------------------------------------------------

"Oh no, I ruined everything!" Sara said sitting on the kitchen floor as she started to cry. Greg walked in and sat next to her.

"Come on Sara. You didn't ruin everything. I'm sure we can fix some of it." Greg said comforting her.

"No we can't! I burned everything. Including my hand!" Sara said as Greg saw that she was holding her hand. He stood up and helped her up.

"Come here. Let me see that." He said taking a closer look. "It isn't too bad." Greg said walking to the freezer and taking out some ice. "Here, put this on it, it won't sting so much."

"Thanks. You've done this before I take it?"

"Yeah, more than you know. And I have found out there is always a way to fix it."

"No there isn't. I've ruined everything. There is no way to fix it."

"You haven't ruined everything. We can still have a good time." Greg said as Sara laid her head on his shoulder. He had never seen her like this before.

"But what about lunch? There isn't anything left."

"Let's order something." Greg said smiling.

"Okay. What do you want?"

"Well, we can get pizza or Chinese. Your choice."

"Well, I guess we can order a pizza. We can get a large so we can bring the rest in for everyone for break."

"Okay. What do we want on it? I know no pepperoni, sausage, or hamburger. A cheese pizza with...what else?"

"Just a cheese pizza sounds good. I don't really like peppers or onions."

"Okay. Go sit down and find something good to watch while I make the order."

"Alright. Here let me give you the money so you know where it is."

"Don't worry about it. I got it."

"No Greg. You paid last night. Let me do it."

"No."

"Greg, come on."

"Man Sidle, you sure are stubborn. Go sit...now! I got it I promise."

"Fine." Sara huffed as she want into the living room.

The pizza came after ten minutes. They ate and talked about stupid stuff they did when they were kids.

"You? You did that?" Greg asked Sara who had just told him she of a school wide practical joke she pulled off with a few of her friends involved triggered whipped cream cans in other people's lockers. "Man, even I never did that."

"Yeah, I was grounded for two months when my mom and dad found out I was part of it."

"Man, I never thought you of all people would do that."

"Yeah, for my last year and a half of high school, I was no angel."

"I remember for spring break I went to Miami. I got so drunk one night, I have no idea how, but the next morning I woke up in Orlando. I didn't drive there, because my rental car wasn't there and I didn't have my keys. I don't know who brought me there, but it took me all day to get a hold of my friends to come and get me."

"Wow, that reminds me of when I was on spring break my senior year. My friend's brother bought us some beer. After having a few I decided to get a tattoo. I don't remember getting it done, but I woke up and it was there. My parents flipped out when I told them."

"Wow. What is the tattoo of?"

"It is a butterfly with my name under it."

"Can I see it?"

"Uh, it is in a place you aren't going to see. Well, not yet anyway." Sara said smiling mischievously at him.

They finished their lunch with similar conversation. When they finished, Sara cleaned up while Greg sat in the living room. Sara heard Greg's phone ring. After a minute he hung up and came into the kitchen.

"Hey. I hate to eat and run, but I have to take care of something. I'll talk to you tonight?"

"Sure. Is everything okay?"

"Oh yeah. A friend just called and said they needed my help with something."

"Okay. I'll see you later."

"One for the road?" Greg asked smiling.

"Okay, only because you're cute." She said smiling back as she leaned in and kissed him.

"Thank you. I think I can make it home now." He said smiling.

"Very funny." Sara said shaking her wet hands in his face.

"Aw Sara!"

"He he, oops did I get you wet?"

"Funny. You're lucky I like you."

"Well that's a good thing." Sara said drying her hands. As Greg turned for the door. "Hey Greg, thanks."

"For what?"

"For being so nice to me when I freaked out about lunch."

"Anytime. What are friends for huh? Besides, I've been there."

"Well, thanks. I am usually not like that."

"Yeah, I know. I bring out the best in you don't I?"

"Yeah I guess so." Sara said laughing. "I'll see you later."

"Bye." He said kissing her cheek before he left.
