Greg, Warrick and Grissom were in the hospital looking for Selena's room. They finally found it when they saw brass and the 5 kids in the hallway.
"Hey Brass is she awake?" Greg asked eagerly when he jogged over to them. Grissom and Warrick followed him.
"Umm, no she's still unconscious." He answered softly. Greg's face changed colors in seconds.
"Hey guys let's go in Selena's room so the adults can talk." Johnny told the others as he looked at Brass and the three CSIs.
"Okay." They responded and they walked into the room, and when Johnny was about to walk behind him he stopped and turned to Greg. "Mr. Sanders, from what I saw, Selena really likes you, or even loves you I don't know, but she's been in 15 foster homes and she's only 6, and you seem like a very nice guy that would never hurt her. She needs someone who would never get rid of her; she finally needs a permanent home. " He stated and Greg's face softened. "Just think about." Johnny finished and then walked away without anytime for Greg to respond.
"Was he just telling you to adopt Selena?" Brass asked a little dumbfounded.
"Yeah I think he was." He smiled slightly. "I think I'm going to do it." He announced and got strange looks from the three older men. "I mean I was going to even if the Johnny said something to me or not. I love that little girl." He said and looked in the room to find yet still an unconscious Selena.
"Greg, how can you love the little girl right now you just met her?" Warrick asked.
"Damn Warrick I just do!" He raised his voice.
"Okay sorry man." He backed off.
"Greg I think it's wonderful that you want to help Selena but do you know anything about kids?" Grissom stepped in.
"No but most parents don't know when they're expecting one. And I don't want Selena to go through what she already has. I'm adopting her and I'm going to raise her with or without your help." He argued back.
"Well Greg if you're sure, I mean really sure, I'll back you up on this and if you need anything I'll be here." Grissom assured Greg as he put his hand on Greg's shoulder.
"Yeah me too Greg." Brass smiled.
"You know you can always count on me." Warrick stated to Greg.
"Thanks guys." He replied gratefully.
"Umm I think she's waking up!" Nick announced to the four olden men as he ran in the hall out of breath.
The guys ran into the room to see Selena stirring.
"Should we get a doctor?" Alyson asked teary eyed.
"Yeah." Warrick answered.
"Mmm, Greg?" Selena groaned as she opened her eyes to see Greg holding her tiny hand in is much bigger hand.
"Yeah Selena it's me." He whispered.
"Hey Selena you're awake." The young male doctor announced as Alyson and him walked back to the room.
Selena just nodded.
"Well Selena you have a broken left wrist that's why you have a light-blue cast on it and you have 30 stitches on your stomach and side." The doctor announced sympathetically. "And you have some bruises and cuts that should be going away in about a couple weeks. And by the looks of it you can go home to day but have to come back in about a week to get the stitches removed."
"Okay." She said meekly.
"Hey Selena I'm going to ask you a few questions on what happened do you think you're up to it?" Brass asked sweetly when the doctor left the room.
She nodded. "Yeah."
"What were you doing when the yelling started?" Brass asked the first question.
"Umm, I was coloring and watching the episode of Hannah Montana with the Jonas Brothers on it. I love them." She answered smiling, which made everyone in the room smile also.
"Okay what happened when the yelling started?" Brass questioned.
"Umm well when I heard the yelling I turned up the volume on the TV because it was my favorite part of that episode. Then the yelling stopped and Steve came into the living room and throws something at the TV and he turned to me." Selena started and almost started to cry. "Then he yelled at me and he, he, hit me hard across the face and made me fall to the floor crying out in pain." Selena started crying at this point and everyone's face just fell. "He kept kicking me in the stomach. Miranda got him to stop by hitting him in the head with something. Then she was getting me up and told me to go hide then I heard umm, one gun shot and I heard yelling again then another gunshot. Then it all went quiet. I heard Johnny, Mac, Nick, Samantha and Alyson yelling my name but I was just too scared to come out of the bathroom. Then you guys showed up. Greg found me and I'm here." She finished and calmed down a bit. "But it wasn't the first time he'd hit me. Actually all my foster parents did that's why I moved so many times. I never knew my real parents."
"Oh sweetie." Was all they could say.
"Hey guys, can I talk to Selena alone please?" Greg asked everyone. They nodded and left the room.
"Selena, Johnny told me you've been in 15 foster homes." Greg told her softly. She nodded slowly. "Well I was thinking, and how would you like it if I became your daddy?" He asked kinda smiling.
"Really?" She asked in an excited whisper.
He nodded. "Really." He smiled.
"So does that mean I get to call you daddy?" She asked a little excited.
"Yes it does mean you can call me daddy." He told her as he brushed a strand of hair out of her face.
"I never called anyone daddy before. Or mommy." She told him.
"Sweetie it's okay. Now you do." He smiled and she just hugged him. His warm embrace felt so good to her. She hasn't gotten a hug like that in a long time. "And I would never, ever hurt you like they hurt you." He kissed the top of her head.
"I know that because they've never hugged me or cared about me. And you do." She said and that made Greg almost cry.
"How about I ask a doctor if you can go home yet?" Greg Asked Selena. "I have this awesome apartment and it's not like a regular apartment it's more like a condo. If you know what that is." Greg told her.
"I kinda do." She yawned.
"And tomorrow we can get you situated by painting your room any color and getting you cool stuff. How does that sound?"
"Awesome!" She exclaimed.
"Okay I'll be back in a second." Greg announced and was about to walk out the door when he was stopped by Selena's voice.
"I love you Daddy."
"I love you too Selena." He said and walked out the door.
