Little Angels

Chapter 2:DNA Results and Social Services

A/N:Yeah,the previous chapter was short,but I am glad that everyone likes it. This chapter is a bit longer since I am only updating this story today. Anyway thanks for the reviews.

Greg and Sara took Everleigh and Ryan with them as they went to find out about the DNA under Bethany's nails. They had been afraid that there would be another outburst if they left the two four year olds' sides.

Greg took the sheet of paper from Hodges with the arm not holding Everleigh and his eyes widened. He and Sara had been right,although he wished that they hadn't. The father had killed Bethany. Sara looked at him,then stared down at the paper in Greg's trembling hand and read the results. Gritting her teeth in anger she said in a soft whisper so she wouldn't wake up the child in her arms,"That bastard,why the hell did he kill her?"

Greg shook his head sadly and gazed down at Everleigh and then torwards Sara and Ryan. At least they had gotten the two away. Now the problem that lay ahead was finding the father and bringing him in and then dealing with the kids being sent to foster care.

As if hearing his thoughts a woman of about forty walked in. She wore a black business suit and her graying auburn hair was pinned back severly.

"Who are you?" He questioned,brows furrowed.

"I am Claire Julian. I am with social service and I'm here about Everleigh and Ryan Givona." She said in answer.

Sara looked down at the child in her arms and felt tears fill her eyes. In a way she couldn't explain,these kids had touched her heart and she realized that she didn't want the same thing that had happened to her,happening to them. When she was younger,her mother had killed her father. She'd been taken from her home by a social worker and placed in foster care,going from foster home to foster home until she went to college. She hadn't been adopted because she was too old and once they found out about her past it seemed they thought her a curse. What if that happened to these kids? True,she'd been around Bethany's age when it had happened to her but just the fact that these kids had a nightmarish history diminished their chance of adoption and a normal life.

Greg looked down at her curiously,noticing how she was acting. He put his free arm around her shoulders and pulled her into him gently,"You okay Sara?" he asked.

Sara sniffled once and turned torward him with a reassuring smile,"I'm fine."

"Ahem." someone coughed behind them and Greg and Sara turned torward the forgotten social worker. "I'll be needing them children now Mr. Sanders,Miss. Sidle." She said firmly,moving to take the children who immediatly awakened at being moved and began shrieking and screaming,tightening their arms around the two CSIs. "Wanna stay here. No go. No make me go Gweg." Everleigh said into Greg's shoulder. Ryan didn't say anything except bury his head into Sara's shoulder.

"Ms.Julian,do the kids really need to go somewhere so late? Can't they stay here until morning when they are more settled?" Greg asked,turning to the social worker.

"No Mr.Sanders I can't. I had strict orders to come and get these children and I will not be losing my job just because you two don't want to listen." Claire Julian said exasperatedly.

"What if we became their foster parents?" Sara asked desperately.

"You can't just automatically become a foster parent Miss.Sidle. You need to do the paperwork required and besides,you two aren't married or even together. That would be bad for the children." She said slowly,as if explaining something to a child.

"How would it be bad? We are friends and we are good people. We wouldn't hurt them." Greg said.

The social worker sighed,knowing that these two where stubborn and they weren't about to give up. She gazed at the children who where holding onto Greg and Sara as if their lives depended on it. She looked torwards Greg and Sara who where holding onto the children protectively and made a decision. "Fine. they can stay with you for a few days but when you work you need to make sure you have someone to watch them or that one of you are off. I'll check up and see if you guys would make good foster parents and if I think you would I will bring you some paperwork.
