(A/N: Hey, guys! heres chapter 6. I dont own CSI or any of it characters, just Toby and Lea Mae. Enjoy!)

Grissom was holding his daughter's hand as they walked up the steps to the school she would start in a few weeks. "Daddy?" Sara looked up at him. "Yes, my little butterfly," Grissom responded. "Why are we here? I mean, why are we here now and not in a few weeks?" Sara questioned. "Well, Sara, when I tried to enroll you in school, I had to tell them you haven't gone to school before but you are very smart for you age. They told me they want to give you a little test just to see what you know and then they will put you in a class," Grissom explained. "Oh, ok," Sara said.

A half hour later, the principal walked out of the classroom where Sara was, "Mr. Grissom?" Grissom closed his forensics journal and stood from his seat, "Ah, Mr. Jones. Please it's just Grissom." "Grissom, first I want you to know, your daughter is very smart," Mr. Jones told him. "From the first time my team and I met her, she was very brave, then we learned just how smart she is," Grissom told him proudly. "Well, Grissom, I am recommending Sara skip a few grades and start this school year as a third grader," Mr. Jones said. "Wow! My six year old daughter is going to be in third grade!" Grissom awed his pride clearly showing. "What grade is Lindsey in, Daddy?" Grissom and Mr. Jones looked back to the classroom door to find Sara poking her head out and a woman behind her.

"Come here, Sara," Grissom said. When Sara ran to him and he picked her up, Grissom placed her on his hip, "Well, Sara, Lindsey is going to be in class with other six year olds." "And?" Sara prompted. "And she will be a first grader and you are going to be in third grade," Grissom finished. "What?" Sara almost screamed tears starting to form in her eyes, "Lindsey is my best friend! We are the same age! And we won't be in the same grade? I don't know anybody but Lindsey! What am I going to do, Daddy?" Grissom had been preparing his answer since he learned they wanted to test her. Grissom spoke softly with pride in his voice, "You, my little butterfly, will be your charming little self. You are very smart, so this is a big deal. You will still see Lindsey before and after school, and at night at Nicky's house. You will ace every subject. You will be your caring, brave, and kind self. And you will make plenty of friends. Right?" Grissom was smiling at her waiting for her answer as she bit her bottom lip. A small grin slowly formed on the brunettes face, "Yea, I'll be brave, Daddy. And I'll do everything else too. I'll try to ace all my subjects. But what if Lindsey gets mad at me for being in a higher grade than her?" Sara asked sadly.

Grissom kissed her forehead, "Lindsey will be very proud of you, after all you are best friends." "Your right, Daddy. Who will my teacher be?" Sara asked. Mr. Jones stepped forward, "Sara, you will be in Miss Gates class, she has other gifted students. So, will I see you in a few weeks, right?" The young man smiled at her. "Yes, Mr. Jones! I'll be here with Lindsey Willows! Daddy, I need school stuff!" Sara spoke excitedly. Mr. Jones chuckled and handed Grissom a paper, "This is a list of all the school supplies she will need." "Thanks. Let's go shopping, Butterfly," Grissom chuckled as he waved to Mr. Jones and his secretary and walked out the door holding Sara.

In the car Sara was bouncing all around in her seat, "Daddy, can we call ever'body for help? Please? Please? Please?" Grissom chuckled at her and passed his phone back to her, "I guess, give them a call." "Yay!" Sara squealed as she scrolled though the contacts on the phone. "Willows." Sara heard Catherine say though the phone. "Hi, Cath!" Sara called. "Hey, Sara girl, did you call to talk to Linds?" Catherine asked. "Yea, well, no, I mean kinda, I guess. I want you, Linds, and Warrick and everybody really to help me and Daddy shop for school stuff at," Sara looked up at Grissom in question who mouthed 'The mall'. "The mall," Sara finished. "Yea, sounds fun, Linds needs some more stuff anyway. Hey, want us to pick up Jim, Greg, and the Doc on our way?" the redhead asked. "Yea! Daddy, Cath's gonna bring Jimmy, Greggy, and Ally!" Sara squealed. "We will see you there ok, Sara?" Catherine giggled. "Ok, now I gotta call Nicky! See ya, Cath!" Sara said before hanging up and calling Nick's number. "Stokes." "Nicky!" Sara squealed into the speaker. "Hey, Sar, what's new?" Nick asked. "School shopping! And you, Mandy, Toby and Lea are gonna meet us at the mall!" Sara giggled. "Well, we don't have to be anywhere today, so yes, ma'am! Besides, Tobes needs a few more things any way so we will meet you there, see ya soon, Little Moon," Nick said using their ritualistic good-bye. "In a few, Kazoo," Sara ended the good-bye, with a giggle before hanging up. "They are all coming! To the mall, Daddy!" Sara squealed.

Ten minutes later Grissom pulled into a parking space at the mall. "Look, Daddy! They are over there!" Sara said pointing to their friends on the sidewalk waving at the pair, as she got out of the car. "Sara!" Grissom said grabbing the brunettes arm as she was about to run to them. "You know better than to run across the street and not look for cars, and when it's busy, or could be busy, you know you must wait for me or whoever is with you!" Sara looked down at her short brown cowboy boots her hands twisting behind her back, "Sorry, Daddy." "Your forgiven, now let's go see everybody." Grissom said taking her hand.

"Linds!" Sara squealed when they reached the group. "Sara!" Lindsey squealed back as she hugged Sara. "Hey, Sara, you are rockin' those boots. Love it!" Nick said with a wink. "She rarely wears any other pair of shoes, Nick. She really likes them. Thanks for getting them for her," Grissom said. "No prob!" Nick said back. "Cath? When will Linds have a new brother or sister?" Sara asked gently resting her small hand on Catherine's five months pregnant belly. "Just four more months and the baby will be here, Sar," Warrick told her. "Cool!" Sara and Lindsey said together. "Hey, Sara!" Jim and Doc said from behind her in case she didn't see them before. "Jimmy! Ally!" Sara squealed as she hugged Doc and was picked up by Jim. "I can't believe you let her call you that!" Catherine said with a chuckle. "What?" Doc said as he looked at Sara, "She's cute! She can call me what she wants." "Too cute!" Jim added with a kiss on her forehead.

"Ok," Grissom chuckled, "It's time for an announcement! Sara, would you like to do the honors? After all it is your announcement." Sara beamed, "I am going to be the only six year old in third grade!" "Congratulations, Sara girl!" Mandy said as everyone else congratulated her as well. "Cool, Sara. But when will we see each other?" Lindsey asked a little saddened by the news. Sara was prepared because Grissom already answered the same question. Sara hugged Lindsey tightly, "We will still see each other at night at Nicky's house and before and after school." Lindsey nodded thinking about Sara's answer, and a smile spread across her face, "And you can help me if I ever get stuck on homework!" Everyone laughed.

One week later, 6 in the morning

"They were good," Toby whispered to Grissom and Warrick, as he held a sleeping, yet holding him tight, Lea, "Gris, after Lindsey and Peaches fell asleep, Sara and I had a conversation about electricity. Her comments were very insightful for a six year old. And they are only putting her in the third grade? Man, She should be in my grade!" Grissom chuckled as he went to Sara, and Warrick went to Lindsey. "Time to go, Butterfly, today is your first day of school. We have to get home to get all of your school things together," Grissom told Sara as she woke up. "Come on, Linds! I know you're not a morning person but we have to get your stuff together yo' momma is waiting at the house!" Warrick pleaded to Lindsey who refused to wake up but decided to reach up to him with her eyes still closed. "Fine," Warrick chuckled as he picked up the blonde. "I have to get ready for school myself, but if you like I will check on them both at lunch since their school is connected to mine. They both have teachers I had, and they liked me, so it shouldn't be a problem," Toby offered as he readjusted Lea causing her to whine in protest and hold him tighter. "Thanks, Tobes. I appreciate it," Warrick said. "Me too," Grissom agreed, then added, "Is Lea ok?" "Oh, she will be fine, she just had a nightmare. When that happens, she tends to get really clingy. Shh, Peaches, its ok, Mommy and Daddy will be here soon," Toby said as he began to rock her, "Uncle Nick and Aunt Mandy are on their way, right?" Grissom smiled, "They wanted us to tell you they would be home right after a quick stop at the grocery store." "Good, they never spend more than twenty minutes in a grocery store. However, if they went to a shoe store they would be gone for hours," Toby told them. "Why is that, Tobes?" Warrick asked as he gathered all of Lindsey's things. "Because Aunt Mandy like shoes, but Uncle Nick he will try on every style of cowboy boot twice or more!" Toby explained. Warrick just laughed. "Well, I will see you later, Warrick, Lindsey, Toby, and Lea," Grissom said as he rested his hand on Lea's head when he said her name, "Hold on, Sara, go see if you can wake Lindsey up and go play with something in the living room for a moment, ok?" "Ok! Come on, Linds!" Sara said as she grabbed Lindsey's hand and pulled her toward the living room, causing Lindsey to groan. "Now, may I see Lea, Toby?" Grissom asked. Toby passed Lea to him confused. Warrick was concerned, "What's going on, Gris?" Grissom touched her forehead again, "Does she feel warm to you, Warrick?" Warrick reached and felt her forehead as well. "She does, Gris!" Warrick turned to Toby, "Where to you keep your thermometer?" "Upstairs bathroom," Toby said pointing to the stairs. Grissom found a chair and sat down with Lea in his lap, "Can you get me a blanket for her?" "Here," Toby said handing him Lea's Mickey blanket. "Found it!" Warrick said bringing the thermometer and taking her temperature. "Toby, call Nick and Mandy," Grissom told him. Toby did as he was told while Warrick checked on Sara and Lindsey.

"Gwissom?" Lea whimpered slightly waking up. "Hey, Ladybug," Grissom whispered to her using his nickname for her and smoothing her hair down. "Gwis? I don't feel vewy good," Lea told him. "What doesn't feel good?" Grissom asked. "My tummy, it hurts, like I gonna frow up," Lea told him, tears starting to fall down her face. "It's ok," Grissom said to her before turning away from her, "Toby? Did you get Nick or Mandy on the phone? Bring it to me and please bring a bucket incase Lea throws up." "I don't know, Uncle Nick they won't tell me!" Toby said into the phone, "Here's, Gris." "Nicky? Hi, are you guys close? Well, if you don't have anything for her here you may need to bring some Children's Tylenol or something similar. Warrick and I were about to leave when I noticed Lea's head felt warm. We took her temperature and she has a 99.9 temp. And she just woke up a moment ago and told me her stomach hurts like she is going to throw up. It's ok, I've got her," Grissom said into the phone. "I want Daddy," Lea said crying and trying to curl herself tighter next to Grissom. "Yes, she said she wants you but just make sure you get the Tylenol, ok? See you in a few. Bye. Your Mommy and Daddy are almost here, Ladybug," Grissom said wrapping her tighter in the blanket so she would be more comfortable.

Five minutes later, Nick and Mandy ran in the house. "Measure it out, Mands," Nick was telling Mandy. "Where is she, Warrick?" Mandy asked him. "Over here, keep playing girls," Warrick said leading them to their daughter. "Hey, Princess," Nick said as he took Lea from Grissom. "Here drink this," Mandy said holding the small cup of medicine for Lea to drink. "Don't feel good, Daddy," Lea whispered through her tears as she tucked her head into his neck and grabbed his shirt collar tight. "I know, Baby Girl," Nick whispered gently swaying back and forth. "I think she should be ok, guys," Warrick said, "Me 'n' Cath have been though several sicknesses for Linds. But really I would say if she is still not feeling well later maybe take her to the immediate care just to be safe, ya know?" "Yea, thanks guys, I mean, yea Toby's been sick before but we have only had him since he was ten," Mandy explained. "She will be fine," Grissom said, "Feel better, Ladybug." "Now, we have to go, I can pick the Toby up after the girls get out if you need me to, ok? Just let me know," Grissom told them. "Thanks, Gris, Warrick. We will let you know how she is doing later," Nick told them as they left with Sara and Lindsey.

(A/N: What did you think? Lea will be ok, or is there something more to this fever and nausea? How will Sara, Lindsey, and Toby's school day go? What will Sara think of the experience, especially as a third grader? Cath is having a boy or girl? And who in the lab is betting on what for her? Come back and find out! And Review please!)
