(A/N: Hey! chapter 2! I don't think this one is as good as the first because I sorta went on a tangent from Sara, because I mentioned something and it spiraled you know how it goes... anyway I still own nothing, so without further ado heres SOS chapter 2: New friends!

Catherine woke up on the floor with her arms wrapped around her daughter. She smiled and whispered softly, "I love you, Lindsey." "Wait!" Catherine suddenly thought upset, "Where is Sara?" Hearing giggling from downstairs, She picked up her still sleeping daughter and put her in her bed so she could sleep more. Before following the giggles, Catherine looked at the clock, "Two o'clock that sounds a little late for me since we went to sleep around eleven. Hmm, I have been so tired lately." Turning the corner into the kitchen, Catherine almost laughed out loud. There was French toast on the stove, eggs sitting in a pan, and white powdered sugar everywhere! She turned to see her husband get flicked with some sugar, from the look of things this happened a couple times already. Warrick laughed, "I'm going to get you!" He rounded on her to make sure she knew she was in for a tickle fight. Sara's squealing laughter filled the whole house as she ran from him. When he finally caught her, Sara shrieked and giggled. Catherine was so caught up with the fun in front of her; she jumped when she felt small arms around her legs. Looking up at her mother, Lindsey grinned, "Hi, Mommy, did I scare you?" "No, baby," Catherine told her daughter as she hugged her, then laughed, "well, maybe a little." Running to Warrick and Sara, Lindsey asked, "What's for breakfast?" Sara was on Warrick's shoulders when he answered, "Hey, Princess! French toast and eggs!" "Yay!" the blonde cheered.

Upon finishing breakfast, Catherine congratulated the pair, "Honey, Sara, this French toast is very good!" "Thanks, Babe," Warrick said kissing her, "why don't you girls go get dressed so we can do something fun. Oh, and Sara if you want to wear them I brought some of your clothes, they are in a suitcase by the stairs." "Ok!" the girls yelled as they ran up the stairs. "You seem to be getting along with Sara really well," Catherine noted. "Yea, last night she mumbled about her dad and then her mom killing her dad then I woke her before she screamed and woke you two, then I rocked her in the rocking chair in Linds' room and we fell asleep like that," Warrick explained. "Really?" Catherine asked. "Yea but this morning she sorta… regressed; I guess would be the right word," Warrick told his wife.

*Flashback to one hour before Catherine woke up*

Warrick groaned lightly trying to work out the stiffness without shaking Sara, sleeping in the rocking chair with a small girl in his arms would do that to him. When she stirred, Warrick sang to Sara again so she could be calm. Opening her eyes, Sara looked at him grinning, "Hi, Warrick, I had a good dream, I don't know if I ever did before!" Wrapping her in a hug, he whispered in her ear, "I'm glad you had a good dream Sara! Hey, do you want to help me make breakfast?" "Ok," Sara whispered as she got off his lap and took his hand. When they got downstairs, Sara asked, "What are we making?" "I don't know, let's see." After 15 minutes they had decided on French Toast and eggs, "Sara," Warrick pointed to a closet and continued, "in there on the bottom shelf there is powdered sugar, can you get it, while I get everything else?" "Yea," Sara walked into the closet and found the bag, taking off the clip she opened it slightly and set it on counter. Pushing a chair up to the counter and standing on it, Sara smirked and took a pinch of the powder and flicked it at Warrick's fluffy hair. Warrick, being used to playing with Lindsey, rounded on Sara saying, "I'm going to get you for that!" Sara screamed helplessly, and fell on the floor crying and blubbering, "I-I sor-sorry, War-Warrick, pl-plea-se d-don't hit me l-ike dad-dy!" Warrick freaks out, and mentally starts to punch himself and thinks, "How could I have been so thoughtless I heard her in mumble in her sleep begging her dad not to hit her! Stupid! Stupid!" Kneeling by Sara, Warrick start to rub her back, "I'm sorry, sweetie, don't worry, I won't hurt you; did your daddy hit you a lot?" "Yea," Sara cried. Remembering the rest of what she said last night, he asked her, "Did your mother?" Sara looked at him with wide eyes, like he had twelve noses AND was speaking German, "Never!" "Never ever?" Warrick asked confused. "Well, she did in my dreams sometimes but never for reals." "Oh, well, I just want you to know if I say 'I'm going to get you,' I would never hit you, EVER! It just means I'm going to tickle you, but never hit you. Understand?" Warrick picked her up and set her on the counter. Nodding her head slowly as she let it sink in, Sara suddenly grinned and grabbed some more sugar and threw it at him. Laughing, he started tickling her. When he finished, Warrick smiled at Sara as he pushed her shoulder length straight brunette hair behind her ear, "Thank you for telling me that. You're secret. About your dad." Sara nodded, "Do you have a secret, Warrick?" Grinning hugely, Warrick answered her, "I do, sweetie." Sara was excited, "Are you going to tell me?" "Depends," Warrick said waving his hand in the air like he was debating it, "My friends at work don't know and they can't know till I tell them, you won't tell them when you go with me 'n' Cath to work tonight will you?" Holding up her right index finger, Sara crossed it over her heart, "I promise, cross my heart. I won't tell!" Chuckling, Warrick told her his secret, "Remember last night when I told you I was a friend of Cath's?" She nodded. "Well, she is my friend. My BEST friend," he held up his hand to show a ring, "I'm married to her!" "Really?" "Yep, for three years now, and I have even adopted Linds, they both kept the name Willows though, so no one gets suspicious." "Cool! I'll keep your secret, Warrick," she told him as she hugged him, "Now can we finish making the food?"

*end Flashback*

"So, you told her we are married?" Catherine asked chuckling. Pulling his wife into his lap, Warrick kissed her cheek, "I sure did! So, did she tell you what happened last night? At her house?" Catherine sighed, "A little, then she started to shake again so I just let her cry and the three of us fell asleep. Did she tell you?" Warrick shook his head, "No, but I heard her mumble, "she shot him" and she mumbled about her dad hitting her," he paused, "shh, I think I hear them coming back downstairs." Giggles of six year olds fill the room, they run up to Warrick and Catherine and ask, "What are we doing today?" Catherine got up taking the dishes with her, "Well, it's outside, and has lots of animals." "The zoo!" Lindsey squealed. "I have never been to the zoo, before," Sara told them. "Then what are we waiting for?" Warrick asked as he picked up the girls on either side of him.

As they walked back in the house, Sara announced, "I love Elephants! And now I know what they are!" "I'm glad you had fun today, Sara," Catherine said before the turned to her daughter, "Linds, do you want the babysitter to come tonight or do you want to go see grandpa and grandma?" "I wanna go see grandpa 'n' grandma!" the girl yelled excited. "Ok, princess, go pack your overnight bag and I'll call them," Warrick told her. "Ok!" Lindsey ran up the stairs. Grabbing the phone, Warrick dialed his father in law's number. "Hello?" a male voice on the phone answered. "Hey, Sam! It's Warrick!" "Hey, Ricky! you're taking good care of my girls, right, son?" Sam asked. "Of course, sir! Hey, I was calling, because me 'n' Cath were wondering if you guys wouldn't mind a little company tonight, emphasis on the little." "Of course! We love having Linds over!" "Great, I'll bring her over. See you in a few!" "See ya then!" Warrick hang up and walked to his wife and Sara, "So, I'll take her over there and you're going to take Sara to the lab, right?" As Warrick wrapped his arms around his wife's waist, Catherine answered, "Sounds like a plan! Ok, I'm going to check and see if Linds is ready." Ten minutes later, Catherine came back down with Lindsey, "Ok, let's go! We don't want to be late!" "Ok, Linds, hop in my car, I'm taking you to grandpa 'n' grandmas!" turning to his wife Warrick whispered to her, "What took so long? Sara and I played WAR, twice!" "We had to use the restroom sue us!" Catherine answered, "Let's go, Sara! Time for you to meet our friends!" Pulling into the parking lot, Catherine turned to Sara, "Remember the secret?" Crossing her heart again, Sara answered, "Yep, I promise I won't tell." "Thanks, let's go in!"

The pair walked into the break room with Sara holding Catherine's hand tight. "Hey, Cath!" Nick and Greg looked up from their pizza dinner. Nick noticed Sara clinging to Catherine, "Hi, Sara, do you remember me and Greg from last night?" Sara nodded her head. Catherine bent down to her level, "Sara, Greg and Nick are my friends. Can you stay with them? I need to talk to Grissom." When Sara hugged her, Catherine whispered in her ear with a smile, "they are Warrick's friends, too!" Sara nodded and walked over to the boys shyly, "Hi."

Catherine walked up to Grissom's door and took a deep breath. She was not ready to talk to Grissom about this. "Catherine," she flinched when she heard Grissom's voice through the door. "Catherine, I can see you though the window in the door." "Oh," Catherine thought and walked in. "Hi, Gil." "You wanted to talk to me," Grissom said as he looked up and took off his glasses. Catherine sighed and shut the door. Looking worried Grissom stood and asked her, "Is Sara, ok?" Chuckling she answered, "She's fine, Gil," then she looked down, "Gil, I have been keeping a secret, from you and the team. I know that I may be asked to resign for it and I will," she paused and ripped her string necklace off and slid the diamond ring and wedding band on her finger. "You're married to Warrick," Grissom said blankly. "You-you knew?" Catherine stuttered. "Yes," Grissom said a smile tugging at his lips. "For how long?" Catherine was so confused. Smiling widely, Grissom replied, "I first had a hunch on Lindsey's third birthday. When you asked me to watch her while you, Nick, Greg and Warrick set up for her surprise party, she was dancing around singing, 'I gotta new daddy, I gotta new daddy!' I asked her who she was talking about, she wouldn't tell me." "You figured out we were together by that?" Catherine asked. "Cath, I'm a good investigator," Grissom told her chuckling, "I've seen the way you guys look at each other, seen how your strengths come together and are better when you are paired on a case verses when you work on different cases. You work better together since you got married, better than when you were just coworkers when Linds was a baby. That's why I have never asked either of you to resign or change shifts; I don't want to lose either of you." Catherine sighed and smiled, "I'm glad you know, but…" "But…" "I… I may be asked to change shifts by someone higher than you." "What do you mean, Cath? I mean, I will do everything in my power to keep that from happening." "Gil, I'm pregnant," Catherine let a tear fall as she sat on his couch, "I found out just before we came here, Warrick doesn't even know. I don't know what to do; I decided to talk to you first, because, besides Warrick, you have always been my best friend, since we were kids meeting in high school when you moved here. I love this job; I love working with all of you. What do I do?" sitting down next to her, Grissom wrapped her in a hug, "Just do your job as normal and if you want to, tell the guys, I will talk to my superiors if it comes to that just go about as normal." "Thanks, Gil. I always knew you could help me when I need you!" "I'm glad, Cath. Now, where is Sara? I need her to stay here with me tonight, because you need to go into the field, I have a lot of paperwork to catch up on," Grissom told her as he led her to the door. "Come on, she is in the break room with the guys," Catherine said as she headed for the room.

"Done!" Catherine and Grissom heard the brunette's voice drift out of the break room. "Whoa, Greggo! Look! She did it in seven minutes, twenty five seconds! And it's all correct!" Nick exclaimed. "What did she do?" Grissom asked walking in. "We made a copy of the crossword puzzle, because we know you like to do it," Greg mentioned. "Yea! And she finished it with it all correct!" Nick added. "Well, Miss Sara Olivia Sidle, you must be a very smart little lady," Grissom congratulated her.
