Dreams Do Come True
Chapter Five
Author note: I don't own the characters except for Kayleigh, Nicole, Samantha, and the babies to come later on.
Almost immediately, the team knew that this was going to be a hard case for Sara and Catherine as they were both mothers and cared very much for their children. They took the little girl out and had her placed in the police car until one of them could take her to the hospital. They all felt that it was important that they get all of the evidence that they could from the house before any of them left.
After three hours, Gil sent Sara and Catherine to the hospital with Alexander because they knew that the little girl was going to be terrified being at the hospital.
They waited with the little girl and talked with her to see what they could get out of the little girl.
"Tell me about your foster parents," Sara said,"were that nice? Did they give you what you needed?"
"Yes, they were great until about five months ago right before Amanda was born, then they were horrible to us we became servant to the family," Alex said.
"Wow, you are three years old and you were a servant," Catherine said.
"What did you do," Sara asked.
"We had to serve the family their dinner, we carried the plates and if we were lucky there was some left over if not we ate peanut butter sandwiches," Alex answered.
It was all that Catherine and Sara could do not to cry when Alex told them how the family was treating them. Just then the doctor came out and asked that Alex followed her. Alex grabbed onto Sara arm and pulled on her when the doctor took her hand. Sara got her to walk into the room and then she talked her into letting go of her hand and letting the doctor check her out. Once the doctor was done, Alex starting yelling for Sara and crying for Sara to come in there. Sara couldn't help but running up to the little girl when she yelled. She was a mother and her motherly instinct killed in and she ran up to the little girl that she had just met.
She got into the room and the little girl reached up for her. Sara picked up the little girl and attempted to calm her down. Just then Gil came in to the hallway and around for Sara.
"Where is Sara," Gil asked Catherine.
"In the room with the little girl," Catherine answered.
Gil walked into the room and saw Sara holding the little girl.
"Well, how is she doing," Gil asked.
"She is scared and is finally calming down," Sara said.
They looked down at the little girl and wondered if this was what their little girl was going to look like when she was older.
Then the social worker walked into the room and saw Sara holding the, now, sleeping girl
"How long has she been asleep," Andrea, the social worker, asked.
"About ten maybe fifteen minutes," Sara answered.
Then Andrea asked if Sara and Gil would be willing to take Alex in for a while, since she had already grown attached to Sara.
"Yes, we would love to take her in for as long as it is needed," Sara said.
The social worker walked down the hallway, and informed the nurse that the young couple would be taking the little girl home and that she needed the release paper as soon as they were ready. Then she walked back into the room and asked if the young couple had any other children.
"Yes, we have twins, a boy and a girl, four months old," Sara answered.
"Cool and I suspect that this little girl will fit right in as she has taken to you and seems to feel safe as she is now sleeping so sweetly," Andrea said as the nurse walked in with the release paper that she had requested. She handed the papers to Gil and then told them that they were free to go.
"Let's go, honey," Girl said.
Catherine gave them a funny look when they came out with Alex in Sara's arm.
"We are going to be caring for her until they can find her an adopted family," Sara said.
They walked out to the car only to realize that they didn't have a car seat for Alex. Just then Andrea walked out and told them that she had a car seat in her car for Alex. Gil and Sara knew that they needed to get the furniture that was needed for Alex's room. Gil's mother came up to the lab to meet her new granddaughter. Then the four of them and purchased the needed pieces of future and then they got the nursery ready for the three of them.
After about eight months, Gil and Sara decided to apply for full and complete custody of Alexandra. The courts agreed that it was in the best interest of Alex to allow her to live in Sara and Gil's house and that as long as no family came forth in the next three years then they would allow the child to become Gil and Sara adopted child. Alex and her little brother and sister, who were now a year old, went out and celebrated her becoming a member of the family.
That night at work Catherine and Warrick announced that they were expecting a baby in seven and a half months and then Nicole and Nick announced that they too were expecting a baby at the same time. Gil was excited to hear that the two couple were expecting a baby. Gil and Sara announced that they would be moving to into a bigger townhouse that would allow them to give each child their own room and allow them two guest room for their visitors. They had found one that is just a little more then what they were paying for the one that they currently had. So they asked if the others would help them in moving the children into the new town house.
Three day later they all meet up at the old town house, and pack the three rooms and then started to load the moving truck. They all finally finished and then they headed over to the new townhouse to start unpacking. They set up the play pens and put the twins and the brass twin in them to play while they worked. Alex went and picked put her room. She then carried her bag and placed them in her room. Nick and Gil went into the room and help Alex to set up her room. After five hours they had the townhouse completely set up. They all headed to the local diner and had dinner. They were laughing at the way that the house came together. They all looked at how big the twins had gotten. They knew that soon Catherine and Nikki would be unable to do their job and they had had to prepare for that. They all went their separate ways and got ready for work. They all knew that this would be a good night because day shift had been so slow. They all showed up and got to work at the old cases that were working on from the night before. They had closed those cases as their shifts came to a end. They were happy to be off because they were tired. They all went home and headed to be and the babysitters had been up when they came by and the kids were excited to go home. Sara and Gil put a movie on and went and lay down for a little while. Five hours later Gil and Sara got up when they realized that they hadn't heard that kids for a while. They got up and saw that the kids were asleep on the couch and so they picked the kids up and laid them in their beds. They then started cooking dinner and then got the kids up to eat dinner. They then dropped the kids off at the babysitters and then headed to work. They only had one case and so they all went out and started on the case. It was a house fire where three people had died. A older women who was seventy years old, her granddaughter who was 21 years old and her daughter who was fours year old. They got into the house and noticed that there is no reason that the house should have caught on fire. They all look at where the fire started and discovered that the stove looked like it was the worse burnt and that the stove dials were all turned as if they were off and were melted in that position, so there was no chance that the dials had been turned after the fire had been put out. They looked for any piece of evidence.
At the end of the shift, they discovered glass melted into the ground there was an accelerant on the ground and that the window was broken. They got to the point at someone had thrown a burning glass jar into the house and so they started to look for the father of the little girl.
He was found at his house and was taken into the police station for question. They already knew that the mother and father had a huge problem with each other. The mother had filed for complete custody and the father had fought that all the way.
"Where were you last night," Brass asked.
"Out with my friends," He answered.
"We will need names to verify your story," Brass answered.
Forget you, I'll never," He answered
"Well, then, Catherine walked in and handed a piece of paper that showed that the father had been at the house and the neighbors had identified the father as the man who ran out of the house and that his car had returned and was the one that threw the jar.
"Ok, we have people who can identify you as the one the one who threw the jar into your ex-girlfriends house. You killed your own daughter," Brass said.
"No she was supposed to be at her great-grandparents house to visit," He said.
"Well she wasn't and now she is dead," Brass said, as the man started to cry as he realized that he had just killed his little girl.
They all walked out into the hallway and looked at each other.
"He didn't even think when he did that, that there was a chance that his little girl could be in the house," Brass said as he looked at Catherine.
They all had finished their case and the case was solved, they all headed out to breakfast. They all sat there and started to talk about the case.
"It is so hard to believe that he didn't even check to see if his daughter was at the other house before he threw the jar bomb in the house," Brass said.
"Yea, I guess I always thought that a father was suppose to protect his kids," Catherine said.
"They are, look at how we treat our children," Gil said.
They all headed to their homes. Gil and Sara headed to the babysitter and found out that the children hadn't really slept and so they headed home and put the children to bed and then went to bed.
Three and a half months later
Catherine and Nikki were getting bigger and they knew that a month later they would be on desk duty. Catherine and Nikki went and asked Sara and Kayleigh about desk duty.
"Mostly we helped the lab in running prints and other things like that," Kayleigh said.
"Well at least it won't be boring," Catherine said.
They all walked down the hall and meet up with the guys. They were hoping that the guys would be ready to work hard after the girls went on the desk duty that no one every really wanted to go on but that they had to do keep the baby safe. They all decided that the children of these couple would have a hard time dealing with their parent's job because they didn't have a fun and cool job to tell their friends about.
They all finally completed the necessary paper work to have the cases closed and filed away for the time period allowed.
After the paperwork was complete that all decided to get their kids and have a breakfast together for the first time since the birth of the Grisom and Brass twins. They all walked into the diner and sat together and started to laugh at how big their group was. With six kids from the age of 1 to 9, they had several highchairs to get the four little ones ready to eat.
