It's been about a week since the 428, but things were back to normal, well as normal as it got at C.S.I. Plenty of 419's and everyone was glad to finally see Jessica back to normal. They've all been through the same situations, but since she was still so young and that it was more personal than anyone had suspected it was still different.

"No one should have to go through that. No child especially." said Catherine as she paced in Grissom's office.

"It's our job Catherine. It's what we do." He said in his usual tone.

"So you're saying that it's your daughter's job to have to go through this?" She placed her hands on his desk.

"Catherine. It's what we do. I'm not saying that I enjoy seeing my little girl through this, cause I don't. But she's doing just fine."

Catherine smirked. "She's too much like the two of you in every way."

"And yet you all still seem fascinated by that, why I don't know."

"And how can we not?"

Grissom laughs. "Ok, I'm done so let's go meet and greet the others and hand out assignments."

"You got it Boss." Catherine giggled. He just rolled his eyes.

Catherine and Grissom left his office to meet up with the others in the break room, as they entered they could hear the rousing conversation of Nick, Greg, and Warrick.

"I can't believe you're serious." said Nick.

"I can't believe it's actually true." claimed Warrick.

"Believe it fellas." said a smiling Greg.

"Can't believe what?" asked Catherine. The guys turned to them.

"Oh, nothing, just the fact that Greg just got laid." said a laughing Jessica as she went to get into the fridge.

Grissom eyed them, "And you're talking about this in front of my daughter why exactly?"

"Whoa, Griss. That's totally not what we're talking about." said Warrick.

"Yeah, tell him Jessica." said Greg.

"Hey, don't drag me into this." She took a sip of her water.

"Well congratulations Princess, you all ready did that for us, now tell him." said Nick.

Jessica just laughed. "Ok, alright." She turned to her father and Catherine. "That really isn't what their talking about."

"Thank you." All three guys said.

"Besides, we all know that the girl has to be pretty desperate to sleep with Greggy over here." Nick and Warrick burst out laughing.

"Hey!" shouted Greg.

"What? I didn't do anything." Jessica said innocently.

"To hell with that!"

Everyone laughed.

"Hey! Is that anyway to treat a girl, especially when she's your boss, and if you think that, I'll just take that C.S.I Level 3 Pass from you." She smiled and as she said that last part everyone clapped.

"Congratulations Greg!" cheered Catherine as she hugged him.

"So that's what all the fuss was about." said Sara as she entered the break room smiling.

"Apparently." said Grissom.

"Oh, c'mon, you can't tell us that you didn't know." said Warrick.

"Yeah, and how come you didn't tell us." Said Nick as he leaned in and whispered that last part. Grissom just stared at him.

"Right. Congratulations Buddy." Nick laughed as he slapped him on the back.

"Ok everyone, settle down. I've got your assignments so let's settle down. Greg! That's enough!"

"Sorry Boss."

"Alright. Now, Warrick you and Sara have the 419 at the department housing office." Grissom handed them the slip.

"You got it Griss." said Warrick.

"Nick, you and Catherine have the 419 down in Summerfield."

"Awesome!" said Nick as he took the slip from Grissom, which Catherine took from him. Nick just stared at her and she just gave him a look.

"Aw man. First he gets to work with my wife, then they get to go to Summerfield. This bites." Warrick whined playfully.

"Aw poor baby. Don't worry I'll bring you back something nice." said Catherine as she kissed him on the cheek.

Grissom stared at them, "Warrick, you're working with my wife and you don't see me complaining."

"Yeah, well…"

"And why aren't you?!" Sara said as she playfully slapped him on the arm.

Jessica just laughed at what was going on in front of her. Grissom turned to her. "Jessica." She immediately stopped laughing. "You, Greg, and I have the 419 on Battle Rd, a breaking gone bad."

"You got it Grissom." said Greg.

"Ok cool. I call shot-gun!" Jessica called as she raced out of the break room.

"Aw no fair. C'mon." Whined Greg as he ran after her.

"Aw, sore loser!" she called back.

Back in the break room, Grissom just sighed and shook his head.

"Looks like you've got your hands full tonight, Gil." said Catherine.

"Yeah, really." He sighed.

"Hey. Just think. She's no where near the mood she was in last week." Said Sara as she kissed him and left with Warrick to their crime scene.

"You know she's got a point." said Nick. Grissom just stared at him.

"Ah, let's go Cat, times a wasting." He then rushed out of the room.

Catherine laughed. "Have fun, Grissom. Good luck." Catherine smiled as she went to catch up with Nick.

Grissom laughed to himself and walked out to the parking garage over to his Denali. He could already hear them bickering.

AS he opened the driver's door he said, "What are you children bickering about now?"

"Hey! I'm not a child, I'm a grown man." said Greg with a smug look on his face in the back seat.

Jessica just laughed. "Could've fooled me."

Grissom turned to her, "And what about you? Let me guess, your not a child, you're and intelligent young women?"

"No, I'm a child alright, as intelligent as I may be, but I'm YOUR child." she managed to laugh out.

"Enough said." As Grissom said this, he turned on the ignition and backed out, on their way to the crime scene.
