"Hey!" Catherine's sister said greeting her at her front door.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" She asked hugging her sister.
"You don't want your sister and her family visiting you?"
"And family?" Nancy walked past Catherine and looked around the house.
"Like the place. Mom gave me the address…Oh yea, Billy and Jeremy are going to be here soon, in time for the big party."
"What party?" Catherine asked.
"Oh my god…your not having a party?" She asked wide eyed.
"No!"
"Hon, why not?"
"Do I have to have one?" Catherine asked hands on her hips.
"Yes…Its not every year that you turn-"
"It doesn't matter how old I turn." Catherine said cutting her off. "Gil isn't here and so…" She said looking down to her feet.
Her head shot up as Nancy burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"That is so high school Cath…show me around the place."
"It is not high school." Catherine said giving her the tour of the house.
"So am I going to stay in the guest room?"
"Is it big enough for all three of you? You can stay in my room with me if you want."
"I'll stay with you. The boys won't mind."

"Sooo, Mom have you thought about the party?" Lindsey asked as soon as she say her mom.
"No! There is NO party!"
"Uhhh, your such a party pooper!"
"Hey, that's me, Catherine Willows."
Lindsey made a face at her mom.
"Hey Aunt Nanc." She said when Nancy entered the living room.
"Hey Sweetie."
"What are you doing here?"
"I came for a party only to be disappointed by this party pooper." She said pointing to Catherine.
"I know. She misses her Gilly Willy." Lindsey said changing her voice and receiving a pillow to her head.
"What ever…I'm getting ready for work." Catherine said getting up and going to her room.
"So no party?" Nancy said with a huge grin on her face.
Lindsey matched her smile, "No party."
"As a reminder, I have Friday off." Catherine told Ecklie before walking out of his office.
-------------------------------------------------
Ecklie rolled his eyes as Catherine closed his door.
Catherine walked back to Grissom's office to pick up the assignments before going to find the Graveyard Shift to hand out assignments.
She stopped at the door when she saw a large vase of roses on the desk. She walked up to them her mouth still was touching the floor. Slightly touching some of the flowers she picked up the small note card.
'I know its early but I couldn't resist…Happy Birthday. I love you Gil'
A small smile played across her face.
"We gonna get our assignments anytime soon?" Sara asked standing in the door.
Catherine dropped the card and turned around.
"Uh…yea. Sorry." She said walking out to deliver the assignments.
