---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After sleeping peacefully for the first time in a long time Jamie woke up and padded down the hall to Sara's room where the door was shut, she quietly opened the door to find Nick and Sara cuddled up under the blankets she quickly closed the door quietly and went to the kitchen.
Jamie was digging around in the cupboards looking for something to eat, she finally found some waffle mix and began to make some waffles.
The aroma filled the air and traveled throughout the small apartment and into Sara's bedroom. Sara awoke to the aroma of food startled they realized that Jamie was awake and probably didn't know that Nick was there.
"Nick... Nick come on wake up" Sara said while shaking Nick's shoulder
"Hmm"
"Nick come on wake up" Sara said again
Nick didn't budge so Sara decided to try something else, Nick felt her lips brush against his and he quickly responded just as he was about to deepen the kiss Sara pulled back
"Good to see you finally woke up" she said with a light chuckle
"I had to someone was kissing me, now where was I" Nick stated as he kissed Sara again
Sara pulled back and looked deep into his eyes
"Nick Jamie's awake and she doesn't know you're here, you have to get dressed"
"Sar where am I going to go in case you didn't notice there is no windows in your room"
"Oh man I'll go and try to distract Jamie"
"Come on Sara were together now I think Jamie expected this"
Just then a knock sounded at the door followed by Jamie's voice
"Nick Sara are you two decent yet"
"Um just a minute Jamie" Sara said while gathering up there clothes, she threw Nick his and they quickly got dressed
Jamie entered when she heard Sara say that they were decent
"Man you two slept long I thought you were going to sleep all day"
"Jamie how did you know Nick was here"
Jamie had a smug smile on her face and replied
"I saw you give him the key last night Sara"
Sara's face turned a bright shade of red and Nick got a little flushed
"And I saw you two cuddled up this morning"
"Oh okay" said a very stunned Sara
"Man Sar she could be a CSI she didn't miss one piece of evidence"
With that statement Jamie turned a bright shade of red and quickly told the two that breakfast was ready, she quickly left the room and went into the kitchen.
Meanwhile Nick and Sara stayed in the bedroom discussing some things that Jamie didn't need to know about at least not yet that would come later on in the day
Jamie had just finished her waffles when Nick and Sara came out of the bedroom, they sat down and ate there pancakes in silence until Jamie broke the silence
"This is nice my family used to do this all the time eat breakfast together" Nick and Sara exchanged a knowing glance, then looked over to Jamie who had tears welling up in her eyes
"It is nice kinda like were a family" said Nick
That was all it took and the tears that Jamie tried to prevent cascaded down her cheeks, she quickly excused herself and went to the bathroom.
About ten minutes Jamie returned to the table and quickly apologized for her little outburst.
"Don't worry about it darlin' now look at the time we better get to work or else Grissom will have our butts" replied Nick hoping that it would cheer her up
Jamie laughed at Nicks comment and started to clean up. A couple minutes later the trio finished cleaning up and headed to work.
Surprisingly the car ride to the lab was quiet that all changed when the trio walked into break room of the lab.
"Nick Sara Jamie you're here" said Greg
Jamie tried so hard not to laugh but a chuckle managed to escape
"What's so funny" asked Greg
"Greg have you checked out your hair lately"
"Yeah why"
"It's green" said Jamie no longer able to hide back her laughs
"I know I dyed it that color"
"Well green is a good color for ya Greg" said Sara as she joined Jamie who was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of her eyes
"Okay guys I get it you think its funny"
"No Greg I really like" said Jamie giving him an authentic smile
"Why thank you Jamie"
Grissom Catherine, and Warrick all entered the break room a couple minutes later
"Okay before we get started I have an announcement to make" said Grissom
Everybody turned and looked at Grissom
"Jamie it has come to our attention that you want to become a teacher is that correct?"
Jamie nods
"Well then on behalf of the CSI lab we would like to present this to you"
Grissom hands Jamie an envelope and eyes each of them suspiciously before taking the envelope
"What is this?" she asks
"Open it and find out" says Nick
Jamie opens it up and finds a check, she pulls it out and looks at it before looking back up tears filling her eyes
"I can't accept this"
"Why not?" asks Warrick
"It's too much I can't take this from you" Jamie says as tears fall freely from her eyes
"Jamie you deserve this you have overcome so much over such a short amount of time" says Catherine
"I know I have but it just doesn't feel right"
"Jamie I want you to take this money and go to college make your parents proud, if they were here right now what do you think they would say?" says Nick
"They would want me to take the money and go to college" said Jamie as the tears slowly begin to die down
"All right then take the money and get a college education doing what you love"
"I will thank you all of you"
Jamie gets up from her spot and hugs everybody, as she sits down Nick and Sara get up
"Now that Grissom has made his announcement Sara and I would like to make ours"
"Jamie we know that in a year you will be an adult but Nick and I have talked this through and we wanted to know if you would like to become my daughter?"
Jamie stood there stunned the tears that had faded away came back full force she managed to shake her head yes.
"Oh good Jamie if you want we can meet with the lady today and get things rolling." said Sara
"Thank you so much" Jamie said as she ran over and gave Sara the biggest hug, the two stood like that for the longest time before Jamie pulled away tears still falling from her eyes.
Jamie was so thankful, she wished that Sara would adopt her but didn't think she would, though many things were running through her mind she was still so grateful that these people who she literally met less than a month ago, cared so much that they are helping her get her college education and now the women she had admired asked her if she wanted to be her daughter, it was all getting to her and she felt suffocated like she couldn't breathe, she had to get out
"I'm sorry I need a minute" with that said Jamie quickly left the room and headed for the roof
Once up on the roof Jamie began taking deep breathes to come herself down, when she felt her nerves settling down she sat down on the ground and stared out at the Las Vegas sky, she was so caught up in the beauty of it that she didn't hear the door open
"Jamie?" asked a very concerned Sara
"Yeah Sara"
"Are you okay you have been gone for a while now?" asked Sara as she took a seat beside Jamie
"I'm fine sorry I guess I lost track of time"
"I'm sorry if Nick and I put to much pressure on you"
"You didn't I am just shocked that you want me to be your daughter Sara"
"Why wouldn't I want you as my daughter Jamie?"
"I don't know I'm just being silly I guess"
"You are being silly Jamie,anybody would behave to be crazy tonot to want you astheir daughter"
"Thank you Sara" Jamie said while hugging Sara
"You are welcome Jamie now lets go inside before you catch a cold or something"
"Yes mom"
Sara looked at Jamie and smiled as did Jamie and the two made there way back to the break room.
They entered the break room only to find that nobody was around.
"I wonder where everybody went" said Jamie
"I don't know maybe they got called out to a scene"
Just then the lights that were dimmed were turned back up and everyone jumped out from there hiding places and shouted
"Congratulations"
Jamie was taken aback the last time she felt so much love was when her parents were still alive, she snapped back into reality when she felt someone hugging her, she hugged them back, she gave everyone a hug before they were called out to there crime scenes.
Jamie stayed with Greg and not four hours after the CSI's had left Jamie fell asleep in the DNA lab Greg carried her into the break room and covered her up with a blanket.
Later on the CSI's came back to find Jamie asleep on the couch, Nick and Sara made their way to the DNA lab
"Hey Greg" the two greeted
"Hey"
"How long has she been asleep?" asked Nick
"About four hours, I thought she would be more comfortable on the couch then slouched over teh deskin here"
"All right these are for you Greg" Sara said as she handed him their evidence samples
A couple hours had past when Grissom finally told the others to go home since there was nothing more they could do tonight. Nick carried Jamie out to the Denali and the trio headed home.
Once they arrived at Sara's apartment Nick once again carried Jamie into the house and took Jamie into her room and laid her on her bed. He kissed her forehead and Sara sat down next to her on the bed.
"Goodnight Jamie I love you"
"I love you Jamie" said Nick
"I love you to mom and dad" replied Jamie
