MOTHER NATURE

The thunder shook the Grissom household as the strongest storm in Vegas history showed no mercy for the citizens of the surrounding areas. Gil Grissom lay awake in the bed he shared with his wife. For some reason that was unknown to him, he felt as though if he stayed awake he was protecting his family from this terrible storm.

The twins had crawled into bed a while ago, seeking the shelter of their father's arms. Each had their head rested on either should while their mother cradled their 6 month old baby brother.

Grissom was curious as to how Jeremy and Nathan were able to be on their own for this long. When he had gotten home around 10 to find all of them awake because it was summer and the power had gone out, he had told them that they were welcome to sleep in their room.

Jake stated that he was too old for that stuff, Carly claimed that no 13 year olds sleep in their parents room during a storm, Jeremy said that since he was turning 10 in a week, he was too cool for it, and Nathan repeated his actions along with the twins. Luckily though, Tyler and Thomas decided that sleeping in their parents' room was the best choice.

He was glad that he was here at home instead of at work. The night had been slow with only a small robbery that Nick and Warrick took care of. So when Ecklie walked into his office and said those 6 magic words, "You can take off for tonight," Grissom was ecstatic. But it was the 3 words he added at the end before he walked out the door that left Gil wanting to jump up and hug him. "Your wife too."

So now, here he was, when he felt a hand touch his cheek. "Cath, is that you?" He heard her chuckle. "No Gil. It's Sara. Didn't you here? She has a major crush on you." He was thankful for the darkness that hid his grin. "Cath," he spoke in a serious tone, trying to hold back a laugh. "That's not funny."

"Well then maybe you should remind her that you are my "private property" and I'm putting up a "no trespassing" sign. And, if she even looks at you with a look that obviously screams flirting I will kick her-"

"Catherine!" he whispered when he heard Aden whimper from his mother moving too much. She sighed and rocked him back to sleep. "I'm just trying to say that I could handle it before Jake was born but we have a family now."

"I know but it doesn't matter because it will take a lot before I leave you. I'm talking something like the whole world freezing over so I can't reach you." Just then, a loud thunder shook the house again followed by 3 more loud bangs.

"Daddy!" Grissom slowly shifted the boys so their heads rested on the bed and kissed each of them on the forehead. He got up slowly and walked around to Catherine's side. He gave her a promising kiss to seal his last words and took off towards Nathan's room.
