"Aunt Lynn, could you tell my mother that I made it and I will call her when the results are in." Grissom said over the phone in the airport.

Catherine stopped as she entered her house. Pancakes. She smelt pancakes.

Tossing her keys in the bowl dish next to the door and shrugging off her coat she walked into her kitchen.

"Hey Cath." Nancy's husband said getting up and hugging her.

"Hey Billy. Glad you could make it."

"And miss your-"

"Your welcome anytime." She said cutting him off before he could say a number.

"Hey aunt Cath." Jeremy said sitting at the table across from Lindsey playing Speed.

"Hey Jer."

"You are so going down." Lindsey said rapidly throwing cards into the piles.

"Hey Mom. Hey Nanc." She said washing her hands preparing to help the two women out.

"Oh no. Catherine, dear." Her mom said looking at her. "You just got off of work. Go join the kids."

"Mom, that is not fair!" Nancy said jumping up. "How come I have to do everything and Catherine gets-"

"Nancy, shut up." Lily said going back to work.

Catherine snuck her tongue out at her sister just as the phone rung. The caller ID came unknown so she had no clue who it was.

"Willows." She said answering.

"Its Gil."

"Oh, why did your caller ID come up unknown?"

"Uhh…Aunt Lynn.uh…got a.um…new phone."

"Oh. Ok."

"What's all that noise?"

"Well my family decided to raid my house while I was at work." Catherine said leaning against the wall.

"Oh. Who's all there?"

"Uh, Nancy, her husband and son, Billy and Jeremy and Mom."

"Tell them I said hi."

Catherine held the phone in the air facing the crowd. "Guys, Gil says hi."

"Hi Gil." They all yelled.

Catherine laughed and put the phone back to her ear. "Hear that?"

"Yea"

"I got your roses." She said smiling

"Good. Did you like them?"

"No."

"Oh." Gil said falling silent.

"I loved them."

"Glad you did." Catherine could feel his smile through the phone and he could fell hers.

"I miss you Gil."

"I miss you too baby."

"Promise you'll call me and wish me a happy birthday."

"I promise that I will call you and wish you a happy birthday." He said making them both smile.

"I love you Cath."

"I love you too Gil."

A big, "Awwwww" came from the kitchen as the two exchanged words. Catherine smiled as she hung up the phone.

"Pancakes done?" asked said sitting down at the table.
