Prolouge:

Something’s do change in 18 years.

Like you mature, you forget about your past.
You start working in a job that you love.
 
“Sara earth to Sara” Nick said.
I snapped out of it.
“What?”
“There’s someone in front asking for you…she looks like what you would have at 18 years old”
“Thanks Nick!”

Sara walked to reception and there sat a girl.
“Can I help you?” Sara asked sitting down at next to the girl.
“Are you Sara Venus Jasmine Sidle?”
“How did you know my full name?”
The girl pulled out a piece of old paper and handed it to Sara.

Sara’s hands continued to shake when a little word came out “Bailey”
“Bailey Jasmine Sidle to be exact. I’m sorry I came I just needed to see you!”
“It’s okay. Do you want to go somewhere comfortable to talk?”
“Sure. Lead the way!”

Bailey followed Sara to the staff room.
The only person in the staff room was Catherine.
Sara didn’t mind that she was there.
Hell she was a mother herself.
She was also someone Sara could talk to.

“Catherine, this is Bailey. Bailey this is one of my co-workers Catherine Willows”
“Hi” both of them said.
“Do you want me to leave?” Catherine asked.
Sara looked at Catherine and shook her head.

“Cath, I want you to meet…to meet my daughter” Sara said.
Both Bailey and Catherine looked shocked.
“Bailey, how old are you?” Catherine asked.
“18 years old yesterday!”
“Sara you were only a kid. Who knows?”
“My family. Grissom knows I was raped but that was all!” Sara said.
“I was a result of rape!” Bailey stood there shocked and a tear escaped her eyes.
Sara just nodded.


Sara felt her cell ringing.
“Sidle”
“Sara Venus Jasmine Sidle do not greet me like that”
“Mom. What is it? Is it Blake?”
“Your brother is fine. I just rang you to tell you that Bailey got excepted into Harvard University and that Blake and I will be in Las Vegas for the week.”
“She what?”
“She got excepted into Harvard”
“Harvard. What for?”
“She wants to follow your footsteps. You know she’s in Las Vegas right? Marie called and told me”
“I know she is mother she’s standing in the same room as me. And has a lot of explaining to do!”
“Pick me and Blake up from the airport at 4pm tomorrow got that!”
“Okay mom. See you soon!”

Sara hung up and looked at her daughter.
“When were you going to tell me?”
“When I graduated! And I’m not really here to just see you”
“Is that right?”
“Yeah I have an orientation meeting with a Dr Grissom”

“Man I hope he knows what Sara is going to do to him?” Catherine said.
Sara stormed out the room and headed to Grissom’s office.
 
Grissom sat there with a folder and was smiling.
“When were you going to tell me?” Sara said slamming the door closed.
“Tell you what?”
“Bailey’s meeting with you”
“So you do know Bailey Sidle then? How may I ask?”
“You don’t need to know anything. You’re my boss not my father!”
Grissom threw the folder infront of her.
“That’s where you’re wrong darling.”
“No, NO NO!” Sara said sitting down before she fell down.

After a long silence, Sara wiped away her tears and looked at Grissom.
“So I’m not a Sidle but a Grissom”
“No you are a Sidle. Laura decided it was best for you to have her surname. She didn’t want me to be part of your life. Then when I met you, you looked so much like she did.”
“Bailey’s my daughter!”
“I have a grandbaby”
Sara just nodded.
“Where is she?”
“I left her with Cath. Cath knows about me being her mother. You know she got accepted into Harvard. Mom rang up before, she told me. Bailey wants to follow in my footsteps. I just hope she doesn’t want to be a young mother.”
“Wow a daughter who is a CSI and grand daughter who wants to be one and I’m not even 50!”
“How about me? I have a 18 year old daughter who just found out she was the result of rape.”
 
Sara got up and walked out with Grissom following her.
They headed for the break room.
Everyone was there.
“You know you look so much like Sidle” Nick said.
“She should Nicky!” Sara said making Nick jump.

It didn’t take long for Catherine to walk up to Sara and hug her.
She whispered in Sara’s ear “About time he told you”
“You knew” Sara whispered back.
“I’ve always known.”

“What are you two whispering about?” Nick interrupted.

Everyone sat down.
Gil turned to everyone and said “Guys this is Bailey she’s going to be observing for the next week.”

“Hubba Hubba” a voice from outside the door came.
Sara turned around and saw Greg standing there.
“Whom were you saying that to?”
“The new Chicka”
“Greg, you lay a finger on her. Nah, you touch her in anyway I’ll kill you”
“Wow Sara. You’re acting like Catherine does with Lindsay”
Gil looked at Greg “Greg, you come any closer than 1 metre from Bailey. I will make sure you pay!”
“Oh great! So I have both boss man and sexy mama to watch out for. You are you guys protective of her!”
Gil went first.
“Guys Bailey is my grand-daughter!”
“Bailey’s what 18? Gris you’re what 50. Damn who was naughty as a teenager?” Warrick said.
“I was 18 years old yesterday. I didn’t know Dr grissom was my grandfather. By the looks of things my mother didn’t know he was her father either!”

The guys looked around the room and found Sara looking very shifty.
“Baby, she’s yours. Why didn’t you tell me? I would have understood!” Nick said walking over to Sara.
“Nick I need to talk to you later. Okay everyone yes Nick and I are dating; now can we get to work!”

“Catherine, you take Warrick & Sara. You have a DB at the Palms. O’Reilly will met you there! Greg, Nick and Bailey, you’re with me. Brass is waiting for us!” grissom said as he handed out the cases.
“Bailey do what you are told. It goes for you Greg! Gris, mom and Blake are here tomorrow!”
Bailey hugged Sara before she left.
 
In Catherine’s SUV, they talked.
“Sara I knew you were hiding something about your past but I didn’t think you had a kid!”
“Oh like Catherine has a past you don’t know about either! Go on tell him what you were doing 19 years ago”
Catherine looked at Warrick.

“The reason the rape cases hit home for Sara and I is because we have been there!”
“I didn’t know! I’m sorry! What were you doing 19 years ago?”
“Giving birth to a baby boy! He’s surname is my father’s. Ashley Samuel Braun, he’s in Vegas. He works security for Sam”

Catherine looked in the mirror.
“Sara what you thinking about?”
“I’m pregnant I’m not sure how to tell Nicky!”
“Nicky is going to be a father. He’d probably faint!” Warrick said smirking.
“I’m worried if dad finds out that he’s going to beat up Nick!”

Sara’s phone started to ring.
“Sidle”
“It’s me”
“Me who?”
“Mom”
“Shit Bailey what did you just call me?”
“You heard me. Gris isn’t happy with Nick when you said you two are dating.”
“He hasn’t hit him has he?”
“Why you don’t want your dad to kill your baby’s father!”
“How?”

In the background, Greg was rubbing Bailey’s back and saying, “How are you feeling?”
Sara heard him.
“What happened?”
“I just threw up. Just before I called you. And baby answer I felt it kick when I hugged you!”
“Bailey I have to go. Don’t tell Nick or dad!”
“I wont bye!”



“Since when have you call Grissom Dad, Sara?” Warrick asked as Catherine parked.
“Since today. Now can we get this done! Catherine look whom O’Reilly is talking to?” Sara said seeing Sam Braun standing there.
 
Chapter Six

“Since when have you call Grissom Dad, Sara?” Warrick asked as Catherine parked.
“Since today. Now can we get this done! Catherine look who O’Reilly is talking to?” Sara said seeing Sam Braun standing there.

They walked up to them.
“Mugs” Braun said.
“Sam” Catherine replied.
“What happened here?” Warrick asked.
“Housekeeping found a body in one of the rooms up stairs!” O’Reilly replied.

“Warrick take security. Find out who went in and out of that room until the body was found! Sara with me, O’Reilly where is this body!”
“Mugs, you’re boy is safe with me!” Braun said walking up to Catherine.
“Ash or Rick?”
“Both of them!” he replies hugging her.

Warrick follows Sam to security and the others head up to the room.

Across town Greg is talking to Bailey while Grissom and Nick ask about what went down.
“So what was it like growing up with Sara?”
“I don’t know I never grew up with her. She baby-sat me a few times. See a friend of my nana, that’s Sara’s mom adopted me. Sara grew up on the opposite side of town from me!”
“So you got any plans for Wednesday after shift?”
“No why?”
“I was wondering if we could spend some time together!”
“I’d like that but we’d have to keep it a secret from mom and Grissom.”
“True at that!”

Just before they were to head back to the lab, Bailey asked Greg “Can you keep a secret?”
“Ofcourse I can.”
“Sara’s pregnant. And by the hug I gave her she’s about 5 months. I know she’s not showing but I need to find out how long her and Nick have been together!”
“I’ll find out how long they have been together. You know there was one night this year that Sara and I got drunk after a shift and I ended up in her bed when I woke up!”
“Great, that is so not the picture I wanted in my head!”

Warrick sat up in the security room with Ashley flicking through the cameras for that one room.
“So this is outside the room now.” Ashley said.
“Catherine and Sara!”
“The blonde is Mom. Sam said Mom had Brown hair!”
“Cat has had Blonde hair for the last 5 years. So you’re her little boy then. I see you got her eyes and hair colour then!”
Ashley smiled as he hit the time 2 people entered that room that night.
“Jackpot! One male, one female entering the room at 1am. And well there is a female leaving at 1.35am”
“Thanks! It’s been good spending time with you!”
“Say hi to mom for me!”
“Will do!” Warrick said walking out of the room with a copy of the tapes.
 
Chapter seven

While Grissom was talking Bailey through what they did, Greg talked to Nick over the evidence.
“So you and Sara then?”
“Yeah so what? You interested in my girl greggo?” Nick said smirking.
“No actually I want to find out how long?”
“The last 3 months.”
‘What if the baby is mine? Will she tell me?’ Greg thought.
“Thanks Nick!” Greg said looking over a photo from the decomp.

Near the end of shift Warrick walked up to Sara who was in the break room by herself.
“How far are you?”
“6 months tomorrow!”
“So it could be mine!”
Sara just nodded.
“I’ll stand by you. You know that right”
“Thanks Warrick. But how am I going to tell Nick?”

Neither of them noticed Nick & Catherine standing just inside the doors.
“Tell me what?”
Sara jumped when she heard his voice.
Warrick and Catherine got up to leave.
“No guys stay. You know this already.” Sara said.
Catherine kept guard of the room.
“Nick I’m pregnant!”
“A Baby! Mine!”
“Not yours Nick!”
“What do you mean not mine?”
“As of tomorrow I’ll be 6 months gone. I know I don’t look it but the doctor said that I have to start eating meat again.”
“Do you know who the father is?”
Sara nodded.
“Does he know?”
She nodded again.
“Sara I’m sorry.”
“What?!”
“I can’t be with you when you’re having someone else’s baby!” Nick said getting up and walking out the door.

Sara burst out into tears.
Warrick got mad at Nick and walking after him, leaving Sara with Catherine.
“I can’t believe he said that to you!”
“Cat I don’t think I have ever really loved him!”
“So who’s the father?”
“Rick!”
“Okay I didn’t expect that!”

“Cat!”
“Yeah”
“I’m going to lose my flat”
“Why?”
“They are knocking down the building. The baby and I are going to be homeless”
“No you’re not!”
“Why? What?”
“You’re moving in with Lindsay & I”
“Cat I cant do that!”
“Look Sara you’re going to need someone who has been through this. When are they knocking it down?”
“2 weeks time! Which is like the length of time my mother and brother are here for?”
“So I’m going to meet Gil’s first love!”
“Oh god don’t tell me. You and dad!”
“No Gil is just a really good friend. He was there for me when things got bad with Eddie”

Sara wipped away her tears.
“Domestic volience right!” Sara spat out.
“How?”
“Takes a victim to know a victim”
“You? Who?”
“Blake’s father! Mom found out he had been raping me and one night he came home drunk. Blake was only 3, I had come home from university and he raped me. Mom caught him, she tried to pull him off but he hit her hard across the room. She found something sharp and killed him”
“So he’s Bailey’s father!”
“Yeah. Mom got off murder coz the police found out what he had been doing to me!”
“So your little brother is 3 years older than his niece.”
“Blake is! I’m the oldest of 3 the last I heard!”
“So there is you & Blake”
“And Jorja”
“How old is she?”
“She’s 5 years younger than me! She’s a cop here in Las Vegas. But I haven’t seen her in a few months!”
“Don’t worry about it! I haven’t seen my baby sister is 17 years! See only family that loves me is Ashley, Lindsay and Sam!”
“What about your sister Nancy?”
“She’s not really my sister. She’s my best friend from high school!”
