Catherine walked into Grissom’s office after a day in which she nearly lost both her daughter and father.
Gil wasn’t back yet.
She sat down at his desk and thought about the last 27 years of her life.
She remembered the day she held her baby boy for the first time and one of the last times. A tiny little boy called Gregory Sefton Flynn weighing just 4lb 10oz; a new family who only changed his last name adopted him.
She noticed Gil had a photo on his desk, a new one of him and a young tall sandy blonde hair female.
“Cath” a voice made her jump.
She looked up to see Gil standing there with his hair ruffled and a miss matched buttoned shirt.
“Cath why aren’t you with Lindsey & Sam?”
“I needed to talk to you. I’ve talked to them, I need to talk to you. Who’s this?” Cath said holding up the photo.
“I guess I have a few things I need to talk to you about. Want a scotch?”
“Sure. Who is she?”
“This is Alexandra.”
“Who is she? A girlfriend?”
“She’s my daughter. Alex is 26; I’m a solo dad. She lives in Boston”
“Her mother? When you were at college.”
“Anna died in childbirth. We were seniors at Harvard; my mom helped me raise her. What is it you wanted to talk about?”
Cath pulled out the photo of her and Gregory and showed it to Gil.
“This is an old pic but that’s you right?”
“When I was a senior in high school.”
“And the baby? Girl or boy? The father?”
“Sefton died in a bike accident 4 months before the baby was born”
“So he’s yours”
“He was mine until I gave him up for adoption. His name was Gregory Sefton Flynn”
“Why now do you want to bring him up?”
“I nearly lost my life. I have worked with my baby boy not knowing for the past 6 years. I haven’t told him but after today I think I will.”
“Our wacky greggo is yours? Where is he do you know?”
“He’s keeping Lindsey company in hospital while I’m here. Yeah, I just wanted you to know. Gil you know, you look different”
Gil smiled showing his dimple.
“You look like you’ve…”
“I’ve what?”
“Fallen in love with someone. But I can’t be right?”
“You are. After what happened today, I asked her to marry me”
“And who is she? What did she say or did she do something instead?”
“We had sex, shit unprotected. Oh god she’s going to kill me. We’ve been back dating for the last 4 months. Before I got level 3, we had been dating for 18months long distance.”
“What’s her name?”
“Sara Alexandra Sidle. Yes our Sara sidle!”
“Make her happy gil. I’ve got to get back”
They both stood up and gil walked over and hugged her.
“I’ll come see Linds in a few hours. Good luck with Greg.”
“Thanks.”

The hospital
Greg and Lindsey were talking when Greg said, “I love you kiddo. If you can’t talk to your mom, you can come talk to me”
“Thanks Greggo” Lindsey said as Catherine walked in.
“Mom you’re back”
“Yeah I had to go talk to uncle gil. I needed some advice.”
“Cath you could of come to me for advice” Greg said.
“Gregory Sefton this was about you?”
“How do you know my middle name?”
“Greg what do you know about your real parents?”
“My mom was a sort-of –widower and young. Why?”
Lindsey had worked it out that Greg was having difficulties and decided to help.
“Greg I love you my big brother”
“And you are like my little sister”
“No greggo what mom means is you are my big brother. God your thick”
“What? Ca…”
“Greg you’re my son. Your father Sefton died 4 months before you were born. He died in a motorbike accident that still hasn’t been solved. I was 17, a senior in high school and after your father died my plans changed. Instead of keeping you I gave you up to adoption. And the rest is history.”
“Can I call you Mom?”
“In private yes but at work no well at least to around Ecklie”
“Sure mom.” Greg got up and hugged Catherine.
Outside Grissom’s town house
Alex stood outside the front of her father’s house with her newborn son in the front pouch.
She knocked on the door.
The door was opened by a female/Sara that Alex didn’t know.
“can I help you?”
“is dad home? I mean Gil grissom?”
“he’s not home yet. You must be Alexandra, come in. Gil didn’t tell me you were coming here”
”Dad doesn’t know. I wanted to surprise him. You must be Sara, dad’s told me a lot about you. Do you mind if I sit down?” She ushered Alex into the kitchen/ lounge area.
“who’s this little guy?”
“Zeke. He’s 2 weeks old and not planned. Which is why I haven’t told dad and his father still hasn’t be caught.”
“Sorry to heard that. Can I hold him?”
“sure just help me get the pack off”
Sara unbuckled the pack which took the weight off Alex’s shoulder. Alex took Zeke out and placed him in Sara’s arms. “Support his head”
Greg and Lindsey were talking when Greg said, “I love you kiddo. If you can’t talk to your mom, you can come talk to me”

Las Vegas airport
At the Las Vegas airport car rental agency, a tall man, three tall women and a baby walked to the car rental office.
“Sir, may I help you?” The desk officer said.
“I’m Mr Adam Sidle I have reservation for a SUV. I’m here to collect my car.” Adam said
“Mr Sidle. Your SUV is ready. Please sign here and then I can collect the keys.”
Adam signed the paper and received the keys.
The Five of them headed to their car. Pulling out of the parking lot, they headed for the hotel.
LVPD Crime lab
Meanwhile at the lab, Gil Grissom had started to walk out of the lab, when the mayor walked toward him.
“Gil,” the mayor called.
“Sir, what can I do for you?” Gil said.
“I want to get straight to the point. Are you in a relationship with Ms Sidle?”
“Yes. Why are you so up to beat with my relationship with Sara?”
“Sara Alexandra McNabb-Sidle is my niece. Laura is my sister. May I ask a question?”
“Sure sir!”
“Gil, I told you to call me Alex. How far is the relationship?” Mayor McNabb stated.
“Today I asked her to marry me. We’ve been living together for about Three months before Captain Brass was shot. She’s also waiting for me now, so is that it!”
“Yes. Please tell her that Laura was released eight months ago and Adam’s wife died nine weeks ago in childbirth.”
“Will do. Thanks Alex! Have a good day!” Gil said as he left.
Gil’s town house
At Gil’s town house, Sara sat feeding Zeke as Alexandra had a shower and got refreshed.
As Alexandra walked back into the lounge of her father’s home, Sara answered phone.
“Hey honey…okay…darling we have some visitors…okay I love you!” Sara said.
Alexandra sat down next to Sara and Zeke and said “That was dad right”
“You know you have the same name as my uncle. He goes by Alex. Do you prefer to be called Alexandra or do you prefer something else?” Sara asked.
“Lexie. That’s what dad calls me! You have a kid, don’t you? Coz you look like a natural holding Zeke.” Lexie said.
“I have a daughter. Your dad knows I have a baby, however he doesn’t know she’ll be twenty-one this year. Her name is Adelaide Laura”.
“Dad will be okay with it. Anyway how far was he away?” Lexie said, taking Zeke from Sara’s arms to burp.
They both heard the garage door close and Sara stated “He’s home.”
Gil walked through the house looking for Sara and their visitor.
“Honey where are you?” Gil called.
“In the lounge” Sara called smiling at Lexie.
Gil was very surprised when he saw his daughter sitting there with a baby in her arms.
“Lexie” Gil said.
“Hey daddy, I missed you!”
“I’ve missed you too! Now who’s this?” Gil Asked pointing to Zeke.
“Daddy, I would like you to met Zeke Raf Grissom.”
Gil went down and picked up Zeke from his daughter’s arm.
“Well hello Zeke, I’m your popa” spoke softly to the small child in his arms.
Sara and Lexie sat there smirking when Gil spoke again, “What are you to smirking about?”
“Gil you make a perfect grandfather. A great father and step father” Sara started
Lexie finished what Sara started “Daddy he’s only 2 weeks old. I don’t know or care who his father is.”
“Sara, Zeke, Lexie I love you guys with all my heart” Gil said hugging his daughter, future wife and only grandson.

6am the next morning
Desert Palms hospital
Sam lay in a critical stage within his hospital when he asked one of his bodyguards to locate his only grandson, who was still within the hospital grounds.
The only feeling that he was feeling was he was about to hand over the keys of his life & estate to a most important person in his life, which he had only just heard about.
He’s family lawyer was in the room with him going over his final will.
“Sam, are you sure about this? You haven’t even met him. How can you give over your share of the casino business and your main estate here in Vegas?”
Sam looked towards the door where Lilly Flynn stood; he motioned her in with his finger.
“He is my only grandson & the only male in the family that is not died or in jail. Lilly, I love you and our family. I only wished we had married each other when Mugs was a infant but even now us being married for 8 weeks. I still love you the same and even more!” Sam kissed her lips.
Lindsey was awake in her room talking to Greg about the family and a catch up on what happened before he knew their mother.
Well that was until one of Sam’s men turned up.
“Are you Gregory Sefton Sanders?” he said in a quiet manner.
“I am but who are you?”
“Darren Kojak. I’m here on behave of Mr Braun, he would like you speak to you”.
Greg kissed Lindsey on the forehead and told to tell “mom” where he was.
Greg walked next to Darren, scared out of his mind towards Sam Braun’s room.
Several things were going through Greg’s head into what Sam wanted to talk to him about.
‘Does he want to finally meet me to hurt me? Does he want to set me up for life?’ Greg thought.
When they reached the door, Darren cleared his throat.
“Ah, thank you Darren. Gregory meet Lilly Braun, it’s nice to finally meet you.” Sam said as he watched Greg walked in.
“Sir why am I here?”
“Gregory we are here to go over my final will.”
“Why isn’t mom here?” Greg said scratching his head.
Gil’s townhouse
Meanwhile at Gil’s townhouse, Lexie was getting up to feed Zeke in her father’s living room while watching the sun rise.
Sara walked through the front door with an envelope in one hand and a bag of breakfast treats.
“Morning” Sara said to Lexie.
Lexie hadn’t heard her. She stroked her son’s face as he sculled on her breast. Her little angel feeding himself, he was growing stronger everyday.
When it came to burping him, Sara came over with a glass of Orange juice for Lexie.
“Good morning Lexie” Sara said again.
“Morning Sara. Is dad up yet?”
“Not yet. It’s 8am, he probably won’t be up until 9am.”
The biggest burp ever to come from Zeke happened to come just as Lexie took a sip of orange juice.
In Gil’s bedroom, he looked at Sara’s side table. There on the table was something that he didn’t really want to see just yet.
He thought ‘shit she’s pregnant. This is happening too fast, just like Anna… just like Anna. Can I do this? Can I be the best father, best stepfather and grandfather? How far is she; it can be from yesterday it has to be from before the wedding plans’.
He turned over to see his bedside clock to see 8:15. He turned over and got out of bed before heading for the shower.
He looked in the mirror, at his unshaven beard. He grabbed his razor and his shaving foam. Raising the foam can lathering his hands in the cream before covering his face. Raising the blade to his face he began to shave. Within three minutes the beard was gone and by cupping his hand together containing water; he washed his face clean before running the shower and getting in.
