I do not own CSI. There is a sequel called The Greatest Christmas present.


Melody's Pov.

Finally it came for our Thanksgiving lunch. Lidia was in a long sleeve tan dress with a brown belt at the waist. The skirt of the dress had fall leaves scattering all over it. She had on a simple pair of knee-high brown boots and her blonde hair was curled, pulled back out of her face with a brown head band. Greg had on a nice pair of jeans with a tan dress shirt. I had on brown boots like Lidia, dark brown slacks, a tan turtle neck with a brown vest, and I had my wavy dirty blonde hair pulled in a pony tail. I had given my brother directions to Nick's the night before and was hoping he wouldn't get lost. When we arrived I introduced my family.

"Everyone this is my deaf younger brother Tom, Alicia my hearing twelve-year-old niece, Lucia my nine-year old deaf niece, and Tommy my buddy who is six and deaf."

After I introduced the team to my family we ate. When dinner was over all the men went out to play football. The girls and I cleaned up while the kids played in the den. After cleaning up we went and watched the guys play football. I watched as Tom ran the field making a touchdown. I stared moving my hands in the air when Catherine gave me a questioned look.

"It's how you clap in sign language."

After their game Tommy joined them to watching football on the tv. The little girls went outside and were playing tag while adult girls sat on the porch talking when Lily asked.

"Why did you move to Vegas?"

I thought how I would answer then replied.

"My brother was married to a girl named Ally and she left him a year after Tommy was born. I moved up here to help him since are parents are dead. Even though now that he's back on his feet I don't see him as much."

Lily I think felt bad for asking but I assured her it was fine to ask. At the end of the day the girls made a toast.

"To a good day with our family and more good days to come."

Boy we just didn't know how much would change in the next few months.


Hope you enjoyed.
