Chapter 7
A few hours later the gang minus Greg were out on their own cases.
A young couple pushing a pram walked briskly through the mall.
They stopped at sears and walked in.
Stopped at the baby section to find some things for Blaze.
“Can I help you with anything?”
“We’re looking for some things for our son aren’t we Greg?”
“Yeah. We needs some accessories for our new house.” Greg replied.
The personal assistant found the perfect basinet & cot for Blaze.
They finally got a lot of accessories for Blaze and thanked the assistant.
They headed to the bath section when they walked into a young boy who had baby blue eyes and brown hair who was tall.
“Sorry” he said looking at Greg.
“It’s okay. You know you look familiar have we met”
“Doubt it I’m only here after finishing school. Your wife looks a bit like my dad”
“I’m not his wife. I’m his girlfriend. What’s your name?”
“Aaron James Grissom. I’m here with my uncle James.”
“I’m Emma Heather Grissom, this is Greg Sanders and this little man is Gilbert Blaze Grissom”
“his name is like my dad’s”
“How? How old are you?”
“16 I graduated high school last week. His name is Gilbert Aaron Grissom he works with my mom here in Las Vegas”
“dad has another kid. He never told me about you!”
A fourth voice came “that’s coz he doesn’t know Aaron is his son”
There stood a young man near Greg’s age smiling. Greg knew who he was coz they had met in college.
“James Sidle”
“Greggers Sanders”
“You never told me you had a sister called Sara. Let alone her having a kid”
“Greggers your wife is looking at us”
“I am not his Wife. Greg what’s going on?”
“It seems your dad and Sara had a kid who is Aaron. So you have a brother and he gains a sister and a nephew”
“Greg can you look after Blaze for a bit I need to ring someone”
“Sure” he said kissing Emma’s cheek.
Sara sat at the layout table working with Catherine on a case when her phone rang.
“Sidle”
“How could you not tell me? Have you told dad about Aaron”
“Emma no I haven’t told him yet. How did you find out?”
“We just happened to be shopping and browsing for things for the new house when we ran in to him and a certain little brother of yours”
“Shit what are they doing here”
“I don’t know You have to tell Dad and soon coz I’m meeting up to talk to dad about our new place at dinner time”
“I’ll do it in a few minutes. Say hi to Chris for me”
“Who?”
“My brother Chris. He’s there too isn’t here”
“I’ve only met James and Aaron. James knows Greg from college.”
“Chris will be around. Likely with Aurora, Dawn and Theodore”
“Shit Sara you have a big family.”
“Chris & I are the eldest. Theodore is the youngest born in prison. Look I have to go don’t worry I’ll tell your dad ASAP”
“Bye Sara!”
Catherine looked at Sara.
“Cath how do I tell Gil something that I have been keeping from him for so long?”
“Tell me first?”
“16 years ago gil and I had a mistake. I haven’t told gil coz I’m frightened in what he will say or even do”
“You had a baby. Gil’s baby?”
“Yeah. Well that was Emma she just meet Aaron, our son with my brother James who knows greg and now Emma’s telling me I have to tell Gil before their dinner date”
“Tell me what I just heard is true?” Gil’s voice came from behind them.
Sara turned around to see Gil standing in the door.
“Baby is it true? We have a baby”
“Yes but he’s not much of a baby now. I’m sorry I never told you!”
“What’s his name? Where is he now?”
“He’s living with my brothers Chris & James. Who according to Emma are here in Vegas. Aaron James Grissom is his name.”
“Sara, Emma and I are going to buy a house and I was wondering if you would move in with us?”
“Gil when you say us who do you mean?”
“Emma, Blaze, Greg, me. Don’t worry my pet will have their own little home”
“Can I think about it? I mean I haven’t even seen the place yet!”
