Stella woke in her bed and heard sounds coming from the hall way. She went to see what made them. As she got out in the hall she didn't see anything but could hear noises in the kitchen. When she got there she saw Kate sitting in a chair reading the paper.

"Morning" Stella said and sat down next to Kate

"Morning. Did I wake you? I'm sorry if I did. I just couldn't sleep any more" Kate apologized.

"Don't worry. I had to get up anyway. You know work doesn't wait for us to wake up and Mac would get made if I didn't come in on time with a case like this" Stella told Kate. Kate just nodded she knew Jethro would be mad at her too if she didn't come in and helped them. Stella walked over to the fridges and looked inside. She got some eggs out and began to make breakfast.

"Why don't you get ready while I make some breakfast Penguin" Stella said and smiles as she saw her friends face light up at the sound of breakfast. "When you come back it will be waiting for you to eat it. Now hurry" After making breakfast Stella sat the table and when she was done Kate came out and sat down.

"It smells really good Snowflake. And I'm starving" Kate said and began eating her breakfast.

"Just eat to need it. Remember you're eating for two now" Stella said and smiled when her friends face lit up once again.

"Yeah... I was thinking about that last night and I really can't wait to be a mother" Kate said

"I know you will be great. And I will spoil her every time I see her. Which I can tell you right now will be a lot. You are like a sister to me and that baby is either going to be my niece or nephew." Stella said. Kate was looking at Stella when she said all that and felt tears in her eyes.

"Of course you are going to see the baby. You are like a sister to me too. I'm not going to let this baby grow up without it's godmother.... you do want to be the godmother right?" Kate asked not caring any more about the tears.

"Yes, I would love too" Stella said with tears running down her checks. After eating breakfast Stella went to get ready and soon they were headed for the door. Before they got there, there was a knock. Stella opened the door and was meet by a voice.

"It's nice to finally meet you, ladies"

In Mac's office

Mac and Gibbs had come in early. As both men were marines sleeping was never something they did much of, so they had both woken up early and other some much needed coffee they had decided to head to work and look at little more on the case before the rest got their. It was now 8 am and the team was slowly coming in for the day. Each member of Gibbs' team was paired to a member of the CSI team. Jethro was with Mac, Kate with Stella, DiNozzo with Danny (which probably wasn't the greatest idea) and McGee with Adam. McGee was paired with Adam so they could help each other with computer stuff, mostly Gibbs just wanted McGee with Adam so if they needed to hack into something McGee was there to help.

Mac and Gibbs could see the NCIS team come in to the lab and go to find their 'partner' and get started with what ever evidence they had to work on, which wasn't much. They also tried to find connections between the victims but hadn't come up with any thing so far. Soon they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Mac looked up from a file and saw Hawkes standing outside waiting for approval to come in. Mac waved his hand to Hawkes to let him know it was okay to come in.

"Did you find something Hawkes?" Mac asked as Hawkes came to a standstill in front of Mac's desk.

"Yes, I got the autopsy report from Sid. The woman and her daughter was shot close range to the head" Hawkes said and gave the report to Mac. "It's a new MO for this guy Mac, why do you think that is?" Hawkes asked after Mac had read the whole report and giving it to Gibbs.

"I don't know for sure. We will have to have Kate look at that, but it might be for not getting caught" Mas said to answer Hawkes question. Hawkes excused himself and left the office leaving Mac and Gibbs alone again.

"Speaking of Kate where is she? And where is Stella?" Gibbs asked. He knew Kate was on time when they had a big case and assumed that Stella also were. But they hadn't seen them yet and it was already 8.30 am. He looked at Mac for an answer.

"I don't know. Maybe they are just running late because of girl-talk" Mac said but Gibbs could hear in his voice that he didn't believe what he was saying. Before they could talk more about the girls Mac's phone rang. They looked at each other with a knowing expression on their face. Another murder they had to go to. Mac looked at the ID and saw Flack's name and knew his thought was right.

"Taylor" Mac said
