A/N: Hey Guys! Sorry for the very long wait! I had a bit of Writer's Block and sooooo much homework! My teacher thinks that by drowning us in homework, he is preparing us for High School, where I know for certain that they don't give out half as much! Oh, the pressures of being a teenager... Well, back to the story. This Chapter is kind of short, but it just seemed right to end it at that, but I promise the next chap will be longer! Thanks to all my reviewers, you guys rock!

A half-hour later, a small knock at the door woke Sara. She had fallen asleep in Nick's arms again. She hopped up, startling Nick. She opened the door to reveal Cassie, clad in jeans and a T-shirt. "Cassie? What's up?" Sara asked, bending on one knee to look her in the eye. The young girl looked at Sara shyly. "I was wondering where you guys were.." She said slowly. Sara smiled at her. "Oh, we were just talking.." She told Cassie. "Hey, Cassie. We were gonna make a little visit to our friends at work, Do you want to come?" Sara aked her. "Sure!" Cassie replied enthusiastically. "Okay..I'll just get Nick ready. We're gonna leave in about ten minutes. Okay?" Sara informed her quickly. "Sure!" Cassie replied again. She turned and headed to her room, leaving Sara alone.

Nick pulled the Denali into his marked LVPD Crime Lab Parking Space. He hopped out, and ran around to open Cassie's door for her. He grabbed her hand to help her out of the Denali. She did'nt release his hand after and he did not make a move to remove it. Her other hand came around to grasp Sara's. Sara smiled at Cassie, then looked up to meet Nick's eyes. The 3 walked into the Lab, and their minds were all thinking the same word. Family.
Greg walked out of the trace lab, feeling very proud of himself. He had just solved a case, all by himself. His grin grew even wider at the sight of his collauges. "Sara!" He called happily. He raced over to the her. "Guess what?" He asked, his voice high and obviously impatient. He did'nt wait for her to ask before he blurted out. "I solved it! My first solo!" "Wow, Greg! That's great. Big change for you, eh?" She asked. He grinned even wider. "Greg, have you noticed anything different about me? Perhaps I'm sporting an eight year old girl?" She asked sarcastically. He looked around wildly, and his eyes came to rest on Cassie who was eyeing the very strange man.
"Who are you?" He asked, stooping to her level. Cassie stared at him before tugging Sara's coat. Sara also knelt, and Cassie cupped her ear, whispering a secret. Sara grinned. "What is it? Are'nt you gunna share the secret with me?" He asked curiously. Cassie whispered into her ear again. "Cassie says I'm not allowed to tell the secret to the weird guy thats smells like...poo." Sara informed Greg."But i'm allowed to tell Nick." She said, before sharing the secret with Nick. Nick grinned, before joining the group on their knees. "That's a great observation Cassie, maybe you could tell him, so he can fix it?" Nick suggested to Cassie. She glanced at Greg before whispering yes. Greg was jumping with curiosity. "What? What is it?" He asked the three. Nick swallowed, and stared at Greg. "Cassie says that you have some poo on your shirt." He and Sara stimoultaneusly began laughing uncontrolably. Greg frowned, looked down, and saw what was indeed a small glob of feces adorning his favourite shirt. "Well, It was a B& E at a pet store, and the perp was this enviromentalist-obsessed guy and he opened all the cages before leaving. There was this weird cat that kept jumping on me, but whenever I tried to catch it it bit me!" Greg said, holding up a injured finger. "Poor baby...does he need to make a doo-doo?" Nick said in a baby voice. That set Sara & Cassie off into giggles. Greg was staring at the family, amazed at their ability to gang up on him, when Catherine walked down the hallway towards them. "Sara, Nick!" She greeted them. "And who is this?" Catherine asked, her voice instantly becoming sweet and maternal." Cassie glanced at Sara, then at Nick, before answering with a quiet. "Cassie." "Well, it's nice to meet you Cassie. I hope Nick got you guys some breakfast, because a simple Mickey D's McMuffin usually turns into a Lab Cofee run..." Her voice trailed off as she sniffed the air. "It smells like...poo." She said. Sara & Nick laughed again, Greg turned pink, rolled his eyes and stalked away.
Catherine ushered them into her office as Warrick avoided Greg, whose face was as bright as a cherry and carried a srange scent, muttering under his breath sounding something like "Evil family..The Addams family. That evil little girl..just like Wednesday.." Warrick stared after him before spotting Nick walking into Catherine's office, trailing a little kid. "Hey, Nick!" he called out. Nick grinned at him. "What's up with Greggo, man?" Warrick asked. "Long Story..Just say Cassie spoted some cat feces on his shirt." Nick replied. Warrick wrinkled his nose."I knew I smelled something on that guy.." He muttered.
After they had all finished the introductions, Warrick took Cassie to show her his "Forensic Magic", leaving Sara, Nick & Catherine to talk. After Sara had explained it all to Catherine, her hand held reassuringly by Nick, Catherine leaned back, processing it all." Sara, I think the only reasonable soloution is to talk to one or both of them about it." Sha said slowly, gaging her reaction.. Sara sighed, expecting it. "Thanks, Cath. I...We really apreciate it." Sara said, standing. Warrick returned that minute with Cassie in tow. Cassie was staring intently at her hands."So, I really leave invisble marks everytime I touch something?" She asked him incrediously. All of the adults smiled. "Yeah, you do!" He replied enthusiastically. Cassie ran over to Nick. She tugged at his shirt, and he bent down to hear her whisper loudly in his ear. "Nick, I leave invisible marks every time I touch something!" She whispered happily. He smiled at her, and picked her up so no one had to bed over. "You know what, sweetie?" He asked her."What?" She replied curiously. "I do too!" She whispered. She grinned at him incrediously. "Were...Magic!" She whispered. The room was filled with gales of laughter. The young girl was quickly becoming a hit around the lab, and Nick & Sara could'nt be prouder.
