I have a question I hope someone can answer. I started reading a story a while back where Ryan and Kyle were half-brothers. Ryan was 25 and Kyle was 16. Horatio had just informed both that Frank had cancer. Anyone know what this story is called?

And now without further ado, here's another day in the life of the Caine family...

Sunny Sundays

This sucks, Horatio thought sitting in his office going through paperwork. Before Saturday was just "another day at the office." Things were different now. He wanted to be at home right now, sitting on the floor in his pajamas eating fruit loops and watching cartoons with his girls, letting Aimee sleep in.

Every three weeks, he had to work one day on the weekend. He choose Saturday this month. His in-laws were coming over for dinner the next day. The husband and father was glad that he only had to be at the lab till noon. At least he could spend the majority of Saturday with his family.

Seeing Horatio Caine in family mode was everything Sophie Myers expected. She chatted with her friends in the kitchen, watching the family the backyard. Sophie watched as Horatio and Aimee hugged and he kissed her brow. Aimee smiled.

"You gives mommy a lot of kisses, daddy," Rachel said from her swing.

"I do. That's because I loves mommy," Horatio said. "When I get my hands on you I'm gonna tickle you and give you kisses," he said starting to chase his daughter.

Rachel shrieked with laughter.

"Sweet to watch, huh?" Lacy asked her friend.

Lacy was gathering up the ingredients for her homemade spaghetti sauce while her friend chopped vegetables for a caesar salad. Her husband Trey was making the meatballs. He made sure to make some small ones for Rachel and Cheyenna.

"It is. Did you ever imagine that Aimee would find love like this?"

Lacy knew her friend meant both the couple's age difference as well their chance meeting. Lacy had to admit she had been surprised. But it had taken less than a day for Horatio to win Aimee's family over.

"But he's too awesome," Lacy said. "No man has ever made Aimee smile like Horatio does. And I couldn't ask for the girls to have a more dotting daddy."

From they met Horatio Caine, Aimee's parents so hoped that Aimee would marry this man, fifteen years her senior or not. Although she had been nervous to tell her parents she was pregnant with Rachel the grandparents-to-be had been bursting with excitement the moment the words escaped her daughter's mouth. Lacy had literally squealed in happiness. A handful of Lacy's friends had then her as great as he might be when the baby was born, they had heard a lot of older fathers were especially "squeamish" about being in the delivery room. Horatio might be at the hospital but Lacy might have to go in the delivery room with her daughter.

Not that she wouldn't have. Please. Lacy was dying for the chance to witness her grandchild's birth. But she knew she wouldn't. She knew how bad Horatio wanted to be there with Aimee. He had never cried so hard in his life at the first sight of both babies. It was precious to Lacy that Horatio wanted to, and got to deliver both his daughters.

Sophie couldn't tell who was more of a daddy's girl, Rachel or Cheyenna.

"Doesn't that ever hurt your feelings?" Sophie asked Aimee.

"Nah," Aimee said. "They do love me, ya know. Daddy being at work all week gets him attention when he's home."

"What about you?"

Aimee looked down at her pregnant belly.

"Does it look like I lack his attention?" She smiled.
