Hey guys. Hope I didn't take too long writing this. Had a wee bit of writers block.
Anyways enjoy this chapter.
seriously if you guys have any ideas message me.

I realized that I haven't been puting on disclaimers

disclaimer- If I owned CSI, Eric Szmanda would be waiting for me to turn 18 so he could marry me(I would have put it in his contract after he signed it mind you.) Also if I owned CSI George Eads would not be given the privelage of growing things on his face (I'm glad pornstache is goneand emo boy haircut must die!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 7

Lorena started hitting buttons on her cell phone frantically. It began to ring.

"No, no, no" Lorena pleaded to no one.

"Hello?" said a deep voice on the other end.

It was Jack; Lorena blushed deeply and took a deep breath, just hearing his voice gave her goose bumps. "Hey Jack, its Lorena, let me talk to Maura."

"Hey Lorena, how are you? I'm good, we've been in the car for a couple of hours and it smells weird. I think it might be dark's feet, he took his socks off a couple of hours ago and that's when it really started to stink. Did you know that Maura is a bad driver? I mean…."

"Jack! Give me Maura"

"Ok," said the boy sheepishly.

"Hey, I know you love me and everything, but we just stopped talking a minute ago, are you having separation anxiety from me?" jested the girl.

"Nice way to hang up."

"Yeah. I thought so, what's your Dad's address?"

"314 Sundrae Ave." Lorena sighed defeated.

"Cool. We'll see you soon."

"Oh and Maura just so you know the boys are staying in a hotel."

"Oh, you're Dad doesn't want guys in the house?"

"No, I don't want Jack and Dark in my house."

The Next Morning

Lorena awoke nervously that morning. She didn't know when her dad was going to come home from work and didn't know when her friends we're going to arrive. 'What if Gil doesn't approve? What if he kicks Maura and Riley out? I couldn't handle that, I mean' Lorena's thoughts were rudely interrupted by car doors slamming. She didn't expect them to get here so soon, right after she had woke up. Lorena looked down at her "pajamas" gray shorts and a tank top and ran to her closet. She threw on her lime green converse shoes and ran out to meet her friends. Lorena skipped down the stairs of her Dad's house and ran past the couch. That's when she realized that there was someone sitting on the couch. Lorena stopped turned around and looked over the top of the couch. It was Gil sitting on the couch eating pop tarts and watching Blue Collar Comedy tour rides again.

"Dad?"

Gil kept on eating his pop tarts.

"Dad!"

Gil just kept eating at looking at the screen.

"GIL?"

Suddenly Gil shot straight up and acted like he was taken out of a trance. Looked around the edge of the couch and smiled.

"Good morning."

"I thought you were going to pull a double, I mean that's what you said, on the phone."

"I know, but I decided I should come home for awhile I mean you were home all day yesterday while I went off to that workshop."

"Oh" Lorena quipped. She heard footsteps coming up the walk and was getting worried, what if he didn't want her friends to be here? What if he was allergic to dogs? Lorena bit her lips (another one of her nervous habits.)

"Gil. MyfriendsarecomingoverandIdidn'twanttotellyouI'msorry."

Gil looked at her with his mouth open.

"Oh"

Lorena didn't want to hear anything he had to say she just wanted to get away from him, the last thing she wanted to do was make her dad mad. Lorena opened the door, took a deep breath and put on a smile. There she saw her 3 friends and one big German Shepard.

Maura was unpacking the truck with her brown wavy/curly hair falling onto her face. Then she saw Dark and Jack arguing about something over one of the car doors she didn't know what they were fighting about, but she could tell that it was a heavy argument. Jack and Dark who both were about the same height saw Lorena at the same time and both went to give her a hug.

"Guys I can't breathe." Lorena gasped while trying to push the guys away.

Both boys let go of the girl at the same time, Lorena smiled at the Purple haired boy and the blue eyed boy. They went back to talking and retrieving something out of the car. Lorena went around to the back of the car and gave her best friend a hug.

"Hey, I wasn't sure if you were going to hug me or push me." Maura said when the embrace stopped.

"yeah well.."

"Hey, we want to get our stuff outt of this car, are we going to go to the hotel?" Dark asked.

"Hold on. I want to put my stuff in my room then I will drive you two to the hotel."

"I don't understand why you won't let us drive. We're both older than you, we have more experience than you, basically we're gods of driving now give me the keys." Jack said.

"No!" Maura said, "What if you guys crash the car? That would be a big mess. If anyone crashes my car then it will be me."

"Well by the way you drive…." Jack started.

Maura socked him before he could say anything else. Maura turned from him to Lorena and smiled sweetly. Lorena took one of her bags and lead them into her house. She quickly walked past the couch where Gil was sitting. She was at the top of the stairs when she realized no one was behind her. She slowly walked back down the stairs and saw that her 3 friends were talking to Gil.

"Guys, this is my Dad, Gil Grissom, Dad, this is Maura, Dark, and Jack." Lorena said while pointing to each friend.

"Hello. I'm glad you're visiting Lorena, now I won't feel like such a neglectful Dad."

That was the first time Lorena had ever heard Gil refer to himself as Dad. She would try to call him Dad, but sometimes he just didn't respond, it was weird like he was immune to that word or something.

"Mr.Grissom, I have a question, are you allergic to dogs?" Maura said sweetly.

"No. Why?"

Ignoring his question Maura went on, "That's good, now, and how do you feel about dogs?"

"They're ok."

"That's great! I have a dog and I was just warming you up. May I bring him in?"

"Well, actually…."

"You'll love him once you meet him, he's just the biggest sweetheart, unless you threaten me, but I seriously doubt that will happen." Maura rambled. She then ran out to the car to retrieve the dog. When Maura brought in Riley she practically fell over he was pulling her so hard. He went to jump on Gil, but in the last second decided to get Lorena.

"Hey buddy. Did you miss me?" Lorena cooed to the dog while petting him.

"Well since you have friends here, I think I'm going to pull that double." Gil said while walking up the stairs.

"OK, well the boys and I are going to run to the hotel and get them rooms."

"I want to come too." Lorena stated.

"You're not going dressed like that are you?" Jack asked while looking at her.

Lorena didn't know what she was talking about until she realized that she had never changed out of her pajamas. She blushed, mumbled something and ran up the stairs. She passed Gil on the way up they both saw each other and stuck to the wall closest to them, determined not to touch each other. Gil walked out the door and said goodbye to the 3 kids.

"Bye Mr.Grissom have a good day at work." Maura politely said. When they heard that, the two boys started to laugh. "What?" Maura said whining.

"I think you just killed someone," Jack quipped between laughs.

"Huh?" Maura was very confused.

"Maur, He's a CSI for him to have a 'good day' at work someone has to die." Dark explained to his girlfriend.

"Oh!" Maura said finally getting the joke, "in that case," then Maura put her hand against her cheek and yelled as loud as she could, "I HOPE YOU HAVE A HORRIBLE DAY AT WORK MR.GRISSOM!"

Lorena walked down the stairs, "Did you just wish my Dad a horrible day."

"Hey!" said Maura "I just saved a life."

Gil walked into the Las Vegas crime lab just in time to run into his favorite person, Conrad Ecklie.

"Hey, I thought you said you were going to take someone special to an amusement park today or something." Ecklie said while looking at papers.

"Yeah," sighed Gil, "But the plans fell through."
