A/N: I'm loving the reviews :D … Thanks to all those who've left them and please keep 'em coming!A few days later, at about 10 pm, Colin came downstairs to where the three eldest Grissoms were sitting and was met by his parents curious faces.

"What are you doing out of bed?" asked Sara looking questioningly at Grissom who shrugged.

"I was thinking…and, well…When can Robbie meet Uncle Nick?"

This question made the parents laugh "um…well, we'll see" said Grissom smiling at his youngest son who, looking slightly disappointed walked back upstairs.

"Actually…" said Sara looking at her husband "I've been thinking, what do you think of having a barbeque here, get everyone to meet Robbie."

Smiling, Grissom said "I think it's a great idea…except, they don't' know…"

Sara looked confused "they don't' know about Robbie? Why haven't you told them?"

Grissom sighed "Well, it's not something you just drop into a conversation…but I fully intend to tell them, actually, I think this Barbeque is the perfect excuse for me to tell them…let's do it, that is, if you're up to it, son" he added to Robbie.

"Sure, I'd love to meet the Cowboy's fan who's been poisoning my little brother's mind" he laughed.

The next morning, Gil and Sara walked into the break room to find everyone already assembled waiting for their assignments.

"Sorry we're late…" said Grissom as his wife took a seat next to Catherine and he stood at the head of the table "before we start, I'd like to invite you all to our house next Saturday, I've already checked, you all have the day off. Be there at 12:00 pm, it's a barbeque, Cath, you can bring Linds if you like, Boyfriends and Girlfriends are always welcome…" He paused for a second as everyone took in the information.

"You're voluntarily inviting us to your home?" asked Catherine looking slightly shocked.

Grissom smiled at Sara "Well, we have something important to tell you, what better time than at a party?"

With that said, Grissom handed out assignments while everyone exchanged looks wondering what it was that was so important that the Grissoms would let them in their home.

On Saturday morning, Sara arrived downstairs with a grumpy Colin: the boy hated being woken up early. Charlotte was racing downstairs and it wasn't like it was a big secret why she was so happy. Even though se was seven, her mind was very advanced, and therefore, no one believed that her admiration for Greg Sanders was just admiration.

"Can we go in the pool?" asked the seven year old as she took some toast and started eating it.

"Of course, that's kind of the point of a barbeque, great food and pool" said Sara smiling as her husband came from their room in his swim shorts and a t-shirt.

Sara had always found Grissom sexier than any man she'd ever seen, but the truth was, since they'd gotten married, he'd lost weight and now, she was sure he could give Nick and Warrick a run for their money.

"What time are they getting here?" asked Charlie smearing her second toast with jam.

"Twelve, why don't' you go do some homework until then?" asked Grissom taking a seat.

So, after a quick breakfast, the two youngsters left, Charlie for her room, Colin for the couch where he usually stationed himself to watch Johnny Bravo.

"When is your girlfriend getting here?" Sara asked Robbie.

"She should be here at 11:30, I wanted her to meet you guys before the party" he explained wiping his mouth.

After clearing the table, they didn't have to wait very long for the door bell to ring. When it did, Robbie answered and was greeted by a 5ft 9' blond girl of about 18. There was no doubt she was pretty, but both Gil and Sara got the feeling that she was just another typical Vegas girl with fame on her mind.

"Dad, Sara, this is Stephanie Peterson, she's a first year drama major at UNLV" he said introducing them as the girl shook the two adults hands.

"Nice to meet you" said Sara noting how her husband was eyeing he girl suspiciously.

"You two, Robbie's told me so much about both of you, I think he's so lucky to have found his dad"

Smiling, Sara looked out of the corner of her eye at her husband who seemed to have also picked up on the girl's Paris Hilton-ish accent.

Thankfully, Robbie decided to go give the girl a tour of the house and Gil was able to finally say something.

"Did you just see that?" he asked

Sara nodded "so I wasn't the only one expecting a brainy, geeky med-student…"

Shaking his head, Gil said "I may be stereotyping, she may be a great girl, but I don't' like her…"

Taking her husband's hand, Sara smiled and led him outside where the grill was waiting for the cook.

From twelve onwards, one my one, the team members began to arrive, first was Nick with his girlfriend Kate who he'd met a year and a half ago when he'd been sent to work a case in Los Angeles. After them came Greg with his girlfriend Erica, over the six months they'd been dating, everyone had gotten to like Erica, everyone that is, except Charlie. Next came, Catherine and Lindsey closely followed by Warrick. After his divorce from Tina years ago, everyone knew that the blond and African-American CSI's had something going on, they'd never been told, but it wasn't like they denied it either: it was just something that everyone knew without being told and accepted. Finally, they were joined by Al Robbins and Jim Brass, each unaccompanied.

"Now that we're all here, what's the big news?" asked Catherine while everyone else turned their attention to the man at the grill and the woman who was tending to her son's scraped knee.

"Well…" said Grissom looking over everyone to the sliding door Robbie was about to walk through "…Sara and I would like to introduce you to someone, this is still something rather new and not something anyone could have expected but…"

"Sara's pregnant again?!" asked Nick trying to guess what the news was.

Frowning but smiling, Grissom shook his head "No, nick. That's not it…um, though, I'd still like to introduce you to the latest addition to the Grissom family…"

At that moment, Robbie walked through the doors and everyone turned to face him and the blond behind him.

"Er, this is Robbie Cooper, my son" said Grissom as everyone turned back to him, shocked.

There was a long silent pause before Catherine spoke "Your WHAT?!"

Smiling at the reaction he'd anticipated from his friend, grissom spoke "nineteen years ago, I had a relationship with a female cop in New York during a seminar, though she never bothered to tell me, that relationship resulted in a child: Robbie. He's living here now."

Still in shock, Catherine turned back to the boy who was looking at the floor.

"Is he telling the truth?" she asked him

Nodding, Robbie looked up and, before he even said a word, everyone knew it was true, there was no way he'd have those eyes without being a Grissom.

"Well, in that case…" she said walking up to him and extending this hand "…welcome to our little dysfunctional family"

Laughing, he accepted her hand and everyone else followed suit in greeting the newest addition not only to the Grissom family, but also to the one they had together.
