Chapter 7: A Perfect Family?

"Mommy, mommy! Look what Uncle Gil brought me" The seven year old bounced into the kitchen holding up a jar with what appeared to be half a tree's worth of leaves. "It's a capertiller" she beamed. Catherine laughed and patted her daughter's head softly.

"Very nice sweetie. Put the caterpillar outside and go wash up for dinner." Lindsey placed the jar carefully outside the backdoor and ran upstairs. Cath went back to slicing tomatoes until she felt two arms wrap around her and hot breath on her neck.

"I would have brought you a capertiller too but only one wanted to get into the jar." He whispered, placing a kiss on her neck.

"Oh well, never mind." She sighed, "I guess you'll just have to make it up to me another way." She threw a sexy smile over her shoulder and leant in to kiss him, pulling back when Lindsey bounded in and held up her now clean hands proudly.

After dinner Cath went to tidy up but Grissom stopped her. "Let me Cathy." She smiled at his nickname for her and instead went to help Lindsey with her homework. Once done washing up Grissom walked into the living room and observed mother and daughter working together with a satisfied smile. Once the work was done he suggested watching a movie, child suitable of course, and they settled down on the couch for a night of The Little Mermaid. Grissom didn't really follow the plot and did not understand why the crab was French but he was sat with his woman's legs stretched across his lap and a beautiful little girl curled into his side. What more could a man want on a Thursday evening?

Later on Grissom and Cath were still sat on the couch with Lindsey curled up in-between them fast asleep. Grissom gently lifted the little girl and carried her upstairs, where Cath tucked her in and kissed her forehead. Closing the door quietly Grissom took a hold of Catherine's hand and tugged towards her bedroom. "Shall I make it up to you now?" He asked, offering her a sly smile. Giggling she let him lead her into her bedroom, kicking the door closed behind her.
