I Do Not Own CSI

"Honey, I have to go out of town for a few days or so," Chris said.

"Where to?"

"Vegas, I have some business that needs to be taken care of."

"Where are you staying, you know my parents are always asking you stay there."

"I know, but I was thinking I would stay at the Mirage. The boss is setting me up in a penthouse."

"Need some company? I could take some time off work, come with you."

"I'm just going to be in meetings most of the time, I wouldn't be much fun."

"Really?"

"Sorry, but hopefully I'll be back within the week."

"Just call."

"I will."

"Sara, do I really have to wear this," Gil asked, in his long prince jacket and tights.

"Hey, if I have to wear this you have to wear that," Sara said in her Belle dress. Today was Lindsay's birthday party, and being that it was a princess theme, everyone had to dress up, according to Lindsay's dress code.

"Look, even your sons are dressed for the occasion," Sara said, as Samuel and Garrett came crawling into the room, Samuel dressed as Chip and Garrett dressed as Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.

"Plus, it's not like we're going to be the only one's dressed up. Marie is going as the queen of Hearts, Catherine and Warrick are Sleeping beauty and her prince. Nick and Maddie are Aladdin and Jasmine, I think. Greg got Peter pan. James got King Triton from The Little Mermaid, Jeremy is Hercules and Jim is Robin Hood."

"I can't wait to see Jim in tights."

"Funny, he said the same thing about you."

"Oh my God, you guys look great," Catherine said as she opened the front door. Sara and Gil came in and set down the baby carriers.

"Thanks, Cath, or should I say sleeping beauty, you don't look so bad yourself."

"That's because I had my prince charming wake me," Catherine said, brushing her hair behind her ear, flashing Sara her ring.

"Let me see that," Sara said, grabbing her hand. "When?"

"A week ago."

"And you didn't say anything?"

"We wanted to bask in it for a couple days."

"Has anyone else seen it?"

"No, you're the first ones here," Catherine said as Sara and Gil got the boys out of their seats, putting them on the floor and watching them go.

"When did this happen, they're just moving," Catherine said, amazed at how fast the two boys moved.

"About a week," Sara said, following.

"They're keeping us on our toes."

"Hey, someone missing a couple babies," Warrick called from the kitchen, coming out with two squirming babies.

"They're very wiggly."

"They want to explore," Gil said as Warrick put them down, immediately the two boys were gone again.

"They move fast."

"Just wait, Warrick, just wait," Sara muttered as the door bell rang again.

"I got it," Lindsay yelled, finally coming out of her room.

"You guys look awesome!"

"Thanks Lindsay, you don't look so bad yourself," Maddie said, coming through the door and having Garrett meet her at her feet.

"Well hello there, little man," Maddie cooed as he smiled and was off again.

"They're getting fast, Sara."

"Don't you know it!"

"Mommy, how much longer until my friends come over," Lindsay asked.

"Soon, they should be here in an hour," Catherine said as the doorbell went off again, signalling James, Jeremy and Greg.

"Happy Birthday, Lindsay," the three said, carrying a big box.

"Is that for me?"

"It sure is."

"Can I open it?"

"You have to ask your mom that question," James said as they carried the box into the living room.

"What did you three do," Catherine asked.

"Nothing," All the said sweetly with a smile as the bell went off again, this time it was Jim and Marie.

"Hey you two," Warrick said.

"Nice get up Jim, you even have the hat."

"Nice tights, Warrick."

"You both have nice bums, now get moving," Marie said, moving them through the house only to have Samuel grab her leg, patting her toes.

"Well, aren't you happy," Marie said, bending down to pick him up but she was too slow, he was off crawling again.

"Well, doesn't everyone look nice," Marie commented with a laugh.

The squeals of little girls' laughter in the back yard kept all the adults that were on the porch amused.

"I don't think I have ever heard Lindsay squeal like that," Greg commented.

"Yeah, well, after the Barbie mansion you three gave her she's going to be doing that for the next month," Catherine commented.

"Hey, Catherine, can I see your hand for a second," Maddie asked.

"Nice rock, when's the date?"

"You mean you finally asked, Rick," Nick asked.

"Yeah."

"Congrats man, you too, Cath," Nick said.

"Thanks, although I think Lindsay is more excited about it than we are. She's already trying to pick out her dress from magazines."

"She could always wear the one she wore to our wedding," Gil said, bouncing Garrett on his lap.

"Doesn't fit anymore," Catherine said as another squeal could be heard from the girls.

"You're going to have a fun night."

"It will prepare us for the sleepless nights we'll have with this one," Catherine said, rubbing her small bulge.

"Are you going to find out what you're having," Marie asked,

"Because these two have decided to make it a surprise, again."

"Really," James asked.

"Sorry, brother, you have to wait," Sara said.

"We're not sure yet. I do and I don't want to know. Plus, it's too early to tell yet anyway," Warrick said.

"Well Marie, you were right with the twin's sexes, what do you think these are going to be," Jim asked, making Marie think.

"I think……"
