CHAPTER 1
I finally got Grissom to leave after giving him most of my life story. He knew
some of it, but I gave him some of the reasons why some cases get to me more
than others. I thought I had most of my issues with Catherine dealt with, but I
could tell that woman was being abused, and Catherine couldn't. After that, it
was on, Catherine versus Sara for the umteenth time. This time, that asshole
Ecklie caught it, and I was suspended for a week.
I had no idea what I was going to do with myself for a full week without work
to make it go faster. Any hobbies I had, I hadn't done in years. For as much as
I didn't want to be an isolationist, I fell back into the old habits of working
myself to death before taking a break and then repeating the cycle. I decided
to go down to storage to grab my art supplies because that was one thing that
always helped me forget.
After setting up in the room I had planned on using for an office, I made a
pencil outline of the scene I wanted to paint. Once I had that done, the flow
of the picture just took me away when it dawned on me that I should put on
rattier clothes in case I get a little messy. I also grabbed my old Detroit
Tigers hat and put it on backwards to keep my hair out of my face.
I got the first layer of color on and knew that I had to let it dry before
continuing, so I ordered some food after I cleaned up. I ended up watching a
little TV while I waited. I found a show about volcanoes on the History
Channel. It is not really something I would normally watch, but it would kill
some time until the food arrived when I heard the doorbell. I thought it might be
early, but who knows as I got to check.
I looked through the peephole to see a little girl, maybe seven or eight with a
guy standing behind her. I opened the door, and before I said anything, the guy
handed me a letter and a bag before walking away. I opened the envelope and
read the letter.
Dearest Sara,
This is your daughter Lacey. I am sorry that I never told you about her, and
since you are reading this, I am no longer here. Don't worry, I told Lacey all
about you, and she has so many of your traits, so I am sure you will become
fast friends, please take care of each other.
Love, Kate
"Lacey," I said fighting the urge to cry as I opened up my arms.
"Mom," she said as we both brokedown in the doorway. I hadn't heard
from Kate in years. I thought we were going to be forever, so much so, that I
had my eggs frozen, so she could carry my child.
We were brought out of our hug when my food showed up. I told the delivery guy
to wait as I picked up Lacey and carried her to the couch. I made a couple swips
at my face to clear away tears as I handed him the money before shutting the
door. I guess we can get our stories over lunch. I'm just glad I normally get
plenty of extras when I order.
As I listened to Lacey talk about Kate, I was smiling the whole time. I
couldn't believe how much Kate had told Lacey about me which actually saved me
from telling and just mainly catching up with what I have been doing here. I
also found out that I wouldn't have to do that much shopping because most of
her stuff was coming, and I would just have to get the extra room habitable.
"So, I'm on sort of a vacation. What would you like to do?" I asked
knowing we both could use some air and something to take our minds off of Kate.
"If it okay with you, I would like to go to the zoo," she said
smiling as I told her to make herself at home while I went to change.
When I got to my room, I knew that a week wasn't going to be enough time to get
Lacey set up here and school, so I called Grissom and asked for a couple weeks
vacation on top of the suspension. I was glad he didn't press the issue because
I just got Lacey dropped on me, and I wasn't in the right frame of mind for
another long discussion.
The trip to the zoo was quiet, and that was okay. I'm not sure what to do, but
I figure I can learn as I go and ask for help when needed except that the only
person to possibly ask advice from is my bestest friend in the whole world, and
I'd rather not hear how much of a failure that I'm going to be as a mother.
After paying for the tickets, Lacey grabbed my hand as we walked inside.
CHAPTER 2
I have been to the zoo countless
times, but there was something about seeing it with Lacey that made it
different. I know that it isn't going to be this easy all the time because I
have saw how much trouble Lindsay gave Catherine, and since Lacey has lost a
parent too, I hope I can learn from what I have seen, so I don't repeat some of
things that I know Catherine regrets.
Kate was right about Lacey having some of the same traits because she likes the
monkeys the best too. I don't know if she is still into stuffed animals, but I
picked up a stuffed one at the gift shop before we left. On the way home, I
asked if there was anything special that she wanted for dinner because I wasn't
very picky. I didn't bring up the vegetarian thing because if she does eat
meat, I will cook it for her because I may not like it, but I am not going to
force my beliefs on anyone. Lacey can make up her own mind.
When we got home, Lacey wanted to take a nap, so I decided that a little sleep
might do me some good. I made sure she was okay if we shared my bed until I
fixed up her room, and she just smiled before snuggling into my chest and
falling asleep. I laid there for awhile just watching her sleep, and I started
to cry when I realized that Kate is going to miss all of Lacey's major life
events, her prom, graduation, wedding, and the start of her own family. I
kissed the top of her head before falling asleep.
"Mommy," was the first thing I heard as I felt myself being shaken
awake. I opened my eyes to see Lacey standing at the side of the bed with her
smiling face.
"What is it Lacey?" I asked sitting up in bed wiping the sleep out of
my eyes.
"There is a woman outside your door, and she says she needs to talk to
you," Lacey said as I went through the number of women that know where I
live, and Sofia is the only that knows where I live, so I wonder what she wants
as I picked up Lacey to introduce to my closest girl-friend.
I was surprised that when I walked out into the living room that it wasn't a
bigger mess, but then again, Kate was always cleaning up after me, so I'm
guessing Lacey picked up the neat habit. I made it to the door and moved the
chair that Lacey used to check the peephole and checked myself as I silently
cursed seeing my oft nemesis Catherine Willows on the other side. I gave Lacey
a kiss on the cheek and told to go watch some TV because I don't plan on
letting Catherine passed the doorway to worry about introducing them yet.
"Hello Catherine, did you come to do more yelling?" I asked with attitude
not caring what she was interested in.
"No, I didn't Sara. My reason for being was to apologize. I'm sorry for
what happened at the lab, and I hope we can start to work better instead of
always pushing each others' buttons," she said sincerely as my righteous
anger rift lost all of it's wind.
"Thank you Catherine, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have said the things I
did either, and I would like to try to be better to each other," I said
not knowing what to do next.
"Sara, I don't wish to intrude, but I noticed that a little girl answered
your door," Catherine continued as I knew I caouldn't exactly shut the
door in her face and ignore the fact that Catherine sorta knows about Lacey.
"Yeah, that is Lacey, my daughter. It is kind of a long story, so if you
don't have the time, I would appreciate that you didn't say anything yet to
anyone," I said as Catherine just stood there, so I let her in and ushered
her to my kitchen for coffee and a story.
I was surprised that Catherine wasn't trying to get a look at Lacey while the
coffee was brewing, and after I poured us both a cup, I gave her a small bit
about Kate and I before explaining how Lacey happened. I was shocked when she
didn't flinch at the thought of me being gay. If anything, I thought I caught a
smile as I was telling the story. I also let her know that this was my first
day, so I may ask for advice later on.
"Sara, I'm sorry to hear about your friend, and I will help you and your
daughter in any way I can, and I won't say anything to the guys until you are
ready to tell them," Catherine said as I fought off tears when I felt a
tug on my shirt.
"Mommy, can I have something to drink?" Lacey asked looking a little
shy with the new person. I handed her a glass of milk before sitting her on my
lap.
"Lacey, this is Mommy's friend Catherine. We work together, and she has a
daughter too that is a little older than you," I said as Catherine
extended her hand to Lacey as they shook hands while Catherine kneeled on the
floor and told her a little about Lindsay while she finished her milk and went
back into the living room.
Catherine and I talked a little more after that before she left, and I decided
to order pizza. I got my vegetarian while I ordered Lacey a small potato with
extra cheese. Now that is something she picked up from Kate. I
like potatoes, but not on my pizza. I joined Lacey on the couch as we
both watched the Cartoon Network while we waited for dinner. I laughed a little
as I sat there realizing that when I got up this morning, I didn't know what I
was going to do for a whole week, and now, I have a daughter to worry about,
but I'm not worried as much as I was since I now have a daughter-Yoda to go to
for advice.
Dinner went without incident, and Lacey dried the dishes after I washed them. We
watched a little more TV before heading to bed a little early since I figured
that her stuff is liable to start showing up. She wanted a bedtime story, but I
didn't have any kids books, so I made one up. I was
glad that halfway through my rambling Lacey fell asleep, so I made sure the
alarm was set before turning off the light wondering what tomorrow was going to
bring.
CHAPTER 3
When the alarm went off, I found
Lacey had crawled on top of me again, so I held her with one arm while I turned
of the annoying beeping. She has Kate's sound sleeping since she didn't wake
the whole time. I just laid there running my fingers through her hair waiting
for her to wake up. While I was laying there, I knew
my work habits were going to have to change drastically, and I would need to
find a babysitter before going back too.
I felt her start to stir as her little legs were kicking me a little. I was
smiling when her half opened eyes looked at me. I kissed her forehead as she
climbed up and gave me a raspberry kiss on the cheek before jumping off the bed
and heading for the bathroom. I sat up went over to my dresser and pulled out
some cut-off shorts and a baby doll tee along with my underwear. I don't
exactly want to be flashing some movers today.
I went to the bathroom after I dressed and pulled my hair back in a ponytail
before going to see what Lacey was up to. I walked out into the living room as
there was a knock at the door. I looked through the peephole to see a couple
burly guys standing there when I realized that Lacey's room isn't ready to move
things into yet. I let them in and had them just put
the stuff in the living room since it had the most space as I headed to the
kitchen to start some coffee.
I offered them both a cup before they left and noticed that there was a couple book shelves that were going to be tough to
move myself, and Greg was out of the question because he wouldn't be strong
enough to help. I would have to ask Warrick or Nick to come over to help and
hope they accept Lacey at face value without too much hassle. Damn, I need to
get Lacey some breakfast, but I have to make a grocery run first, so I guess
I'll see what she wants to do.
That's my girl, she wants to go to IHOP. I let her
pick out her clothes before locking up and heading out. On the way, I knew I
was going to have to get her registered for school before the end of the week,
so she can start the week after. As I parked the car, I checked my cell to see
if I had missed any calls which I hadn't, so Catherine must have kept her word.
I shouldn't think that way, but past experiences are hard to forget sometimes.
"Lacey, what grade are you in?" I asked as we sat down after
ordering.
"Fourth, I was able to skip a couple grades because they weren't
challenging me enough. Will I be able to stay in fourth here?" she asked
as I smiled knowing Kate would say she got my brains, but Kate was just as
smart as me.
"You might have to take a placement test to make sure, but I wouldn't see
why not," I said as they called up our order.
While we ate, I told her about my job. She was smiling the whole time which
meant Kate must have told her about what I do, but I think she liked hearing it
from me, and she let me know what Kate had been doing before she died. I knew
that after things settled down, I was going to finally let go, but I think
having Lacey here is delaying it because I have to get her back to some sort of
normal before I can deal with my grief.
We went back to my place after breakfast, and I took her down to her room to
see if she liked the color, or if she wanted to paint it another color. She was
okay with the muted purple, but I made sure that when she got tired of it, she
could change it. I moved my stuff that was in here into my office/art studio,
so it would be just Lacey's room.
As I looked at the empty room, I knew I was going to need help, so I decided to
bite the bullet and call the gang. I would make sure Lacey knew who was coming
over, so she wouldn't be all shy besides her and Greg should get along great. I
walked out and kneeled in front of her. After getting her okay, I called the
whole gang. One by one, they all showed up, even Grissom as they all stared at
the little girl on the couch.
"First, I want to apologize for my recent actions. They were very
unprofessional. Since Catherine has already met her, guys, this is my daughter
Lacey. I will answer your questions about her later, but right now I would like
your help making her room, her room," I said looking at the smiling and
shocked faces of my friends as Catherine gave my hand a squeeze before going
over to Lacey and whispering something in her ear.
CHAPTER 4
After Catherine finished talking
to Lacey, she went to Greg and took his hand before taking him over to the
couch plugging in the game system. I lipped a thank you to Catherine as I
headed towards Lacey's room to get started. I walked in, and Warrick and Nick
were putting the bed together while Grissom supervised. I explained to the guys
where I wanted the bed before going out and starting to grab some of her other
stuff. I was about to grab one of the smaller bookcases when Catherine grabbed
my arm.
"Sara, why don't you give the guys the setup for Lacey's
room, so they can put it together while you and I do some grocery shopping, and
before you yell, I just want you to know that we are a family, and this is what
we do for each other. Besides, Lacey just arrived yesterday, and I'm
sure that you don't have food for a girl her age, so go tell Gil the plan, and
I'll threaten Greg will bodily harm if anything happens to your angel while
we're gone," Catherine explained as I knew better to argue and yelped because
Catherine smacked my ass when I turned around.
I walked back into the room and gave Grissom the new plan as I walked over to
the couch to let Lace know where I was going. She gave me a quick hug around
the neck before getting back to her game with Greg. I grabbed my purse from the
kitchen and opened the door for Catherine leading us out, and as she crossed in
front of me, I returned the smack causing her to turn around finding me
laughing.
The ride to the store consisted of me asking Catherine about schools since that
was the next thing I wanted to get done. Which led to discussing Lacey's grade
level and having Catherine smiling for some reason, but she wouldn't tell me,
even after I started poking her in the ribs while she was trying to drive. I must
not have been much attention because when Catherine put the car in park, she
grabbed my finger.
"Are you going grade school on me Sidle because if so, I have better place
you can put this finger," she said letting of my finger as I felt myself
getting really warm as I climbed out and followed Catherine.
I let Catherine take the lead when it came to the kid food while I picked up
food for me. I was still flustered over what happened in the car that we didn't
talk about anything except that yes, sweets were bad, but they were good for
treats and rewards for good work. I just nodded as we continued to shop. After
checking out, we decided to pick up lunch for the brood on the way home.
Except for the food ordering, the ride home was quiet. I knew why I wasn't
talking, but wasn't sure why Catherine wasn't. I just turned on the radio to
distract us both until we got back into the safety of the group dynamic. When
we arrived back at my building, Catherine headed upstairs with the food while I
got started carting the groceries up. As I made it to the door, the other four
guys came out.
"What's with bossy?" Greg asked walking towards me as I just shrugged
heading up the steps.
I was busy putting away the groceries while Catherine was setting the table
with Lacey as the guys continued to bring up the bags of food. I made sure I
took care of the frozen and refridgerator stuff first before starting to stock
the cupboards. I was midway through a bag when Catherine took my hand in hers
and brought me to the table as I noticed that the living was devoid of all
Lacey's furniture as I let out a big thank you before starting to eat.
Lunch conversation was the guys telling Lacey stories about me, most of which
were embarrassing, but it was sweet. While they took turns, I just ate and
looked around the table at my family. I hadn't ever realized that is what we
were. I knew I was about to start crying, so I excused myself before heading to
the bathroom. I shut the door and sat the toilet quietly crying at missing what
I had searched my whole life for. I had my face in my hands when a knock at the
door surprised me.
"Sara, can I come in?" Catherine asked through the door as I wiped at
my knowing it wasn't going to help.
"Yeah," I said after taking a couple deep breaths to steady my voice
as she walked in and knew what I had been doing.
"What's wrong?" she asked as I went on to explain.
She just knelt down and wrapped her arms around me letting me rant. My emotions
were so high, I told Catherine everything, even my childhood. I felt Catherine
start to cry as I told her about the last night in my house. After it was all
done, we took turns cleaning each other up. I was really
liking how Catherine's hands felt on my face when I placed my hand
behind her neck and brought her lips towards mine.
CHAPTER 5
The kiss started off soft and
tender, but went firm and passionate as Catherine and I both had our hands up
each others shirt. My head was screaming that this was too soon, but my
emotions were just going with the feelings that Catherine was causing in me. I
felt my back hit the bathroom wall as I felt Catherine's fingers fumbling with
the button of my pants as I was undoing the front clasp of her bra when there
was a light knocking at the door.
"Mommy," we heard through the door as Catherine and I shot apart.
"Yeah baby," I said slightly panting trying to catch my breath.
"Uncle Gil needs to ask you something," Lacey through the door again
as Catherine and I fixed ourselves back up.
"I'll be right out," I said kissing Catherine lightly telling her we
would definitely be coming back to this as I opened the door to find the guys
sitting on the couch smiling.
I knew this was a whole plan using my new daughter to find out what Catherine
and I were doing in the bathroom. I pointed to Grissom and then to my office
before bending down and giving Lacey a hug and kiss. She smiled before running
back over to play more games with Greg, and as soon as her back was turned, I
gave Warrick and Nick the finger before walking into my office. I found Gil
looking at the painting I started yesterday as he turned around when he heard
the door click shut.
"Before you start, I know what I am doing. Yes, Catherine and I moved a
little fast, but thankfully, Lacey knocked on the door before it went too far.
But, I also know that I am going to need her help so much with Lacey," I
ranted while Gil just stood there with a stupid grin on his face.
"All I can say is that it is about time you two see what has been staring
you both in the face since you first started. Maybe now, you two can be more
civil at the lab, and as long as your personal stuff stays out of lab, you
won't hear a peep from me," he said giving me a hug.
We walked out of my office to find the guys being cheerleaders for Lacey in her
game against Greg. I smiled at the sight before seeing how Lacey's room turned
out. I was surprised at how much there was even with all the furniture, so I
grabbed her box of bed supplies and laughed when I saw that she had a complete
Scooby Doo bed set. I had just finished making it when I heard a tap on the
door. I looked up to see Catherine smiling.
"The guys are getting ready to go, and I have to pick up Lindsay, but
maybe the four of us can do something this weekend," she said smiling as I
walked over and gave her a quick kiss before heading to thank the guys and see
them off.
---
The next morning, I woke up and remembered that Lace wanted me to sleep in her
bed with her the first night as I let her sleep while I got dressed and
breakfast ready before getting her up. We were heading to school today to get
her enrolled and find out what grade she will be going into. I started me some
coffee before starting the waffles. Just as I was about to go get her, Lacey
came walking into the kitchen. I bent down and she gave me a good morning hug
and kiss before sitting down.
During breakfast, I told Lacey about Catherine's offer, and after telling that
Lindsay is a sweetheart, she was okay with it. After taking care of the dishes,
I made sure I had all of her transcripts before heading out. I may head over to
Catherine's after this to pick her brain some more about handling Lacey when
she decides it is time to revolt against me. I smiled as I looked in the rear
view at the calmness that it my daughter. That is something she got from Kate
because if I was her, I would be scared shitless.
I walked into Principal Anderson's office when his secretary told me her was
ready for us. I wonder if being a crabass is a necessity for being a school
secretary. The older gentleman stood as we took our seats as I handed over
Lacey's transcripts. He looked them over and gave Lacey a pencil and a test as
he offered to show me the campus. I kissed Lacey on the cheek before following
him out. When he found out where I worked, we got to discussing Lindsay, and he
expressed that he was happy that she finally got straightened out because she
was one of the school's brightest students. We were down one of the halls when
the bell rang for the next class.
"Sara!" I heard someone yell in the hall, and when I looked in the
direction of the voice, I saw that it was Lindsay.
"Hey kiddo, I don't want you to be late for class, but I might be at your
house when you get home," I said bending down to give her a hug.
"Is Lacey going to be there? Mom hasn't stopped saying how cute she
is," she said as I started laughing.
"Yeah, she'll be there. Maybe you can play with in your room, so I can
have a mom talk with you mom, now scoot," I said lightly patting her butt.
On the way back to his office, I gave him a quick recap of how Lacey came into
my life. He promised that he would make sure to keep an eye on her to make sure
she was getting acclimated well. I shook his hand letting him know whenever
they needed parents for anything to give me a call. If I was going to change my
life, I might as well make Lacey my number one priority. When he opened the
door to his office, Lacey was sitting in her chair with the test and pen in her
lap. She handed them to him as he let me know that he would call tomorrow with
the results. I picked her up and headed to the car before driving to Catherine's.
CHAPTER 6
The drive over to Catherine's was
quiet, but it probably helped that Lacey had fallen asleep shortly after we
left the school. I keep forgetting than it has only been a few days since she
came into my life, so her internal clock is trying to get back to normal. I can
honestly say that she has thrown my life into a tizzy too, but mine for the
better. First, I have a real reason to clean up my work habits which led to
meeting I'm guessing my new girlfriend. Although, we really
haven't hashed out what we are yet.
I pulled into Catherine's driveway and slowly unhooked Lacey to not wake her
up. Catherine must have heard my car because when I had gotten to the door, it
was opened for me. Then, she led me upstairs to an extra bedroom since it
wasn't really decorated with too much stuff. I took off Lacey's shoes before
covering her and tucking her in. I lightly kissed her forehead as I slowly made
my way out leaving the door open, so she wouldn't wake up wondering where she
was.
By the time I got back downstairs, Catherine had a cup of coffee waiting for
me. I sat beside her on the couch trying to figure out what to talk about. I
took a quick drink of my coffee and wasn't surprised that it was just the way I
like it considering I could pour her a cup and make just how she likes it.
"So, we find out tomorrow if Lacey is going to be in the same grade as
Lindsay, and are youmygirlfriend?" I said speeding up the last part since
it sounded completely junior highish.
Catherine just smiled leaning over and giving me a kiss, "Does that answer
your question."
I just put my hand behind her neck and pulled her in for a deeper kiss. Then
somehow Catherine ended up on top of me while our hands were exploring each
other's bodies. I was moaning into Catherine's mouth as she caressed my breasts
through my bra while I had my hands down her pants massaging her ass. Just as
she was about to unclasp my bra, she jerked up pushing me off freaking me out a
little until I saw Lacey come down the steps. Damn, I almost got caught making
out by my daughter.
"Did you have a nice nap sweetie?" I asked still panting a little.
"Yeah mommy, I did. Hi Catherine, is your daughter coming home soon?"
Lacey asked letting out a yawn.
"Yeah darlin', she should be home shortly. Would you
like to help me with a snack?" as Lacey nodded to Catherine's question as
I leaned my head back on the couch closing my eyes to get back control of my
emotions.
---
I woke up hearing giggling as I opened my eyes to see Lindsay and Lacey
watching cartoons. I didn't see Catherine, but I heard a couple voices coming
from the kitchen as I sat up and stretched. I got up and leaned down to give
Lace a kiss on her head patting Linds on hers before going into the kitchen. I
walked up to Catherine and gave her a kiss without thinking as I heard
Catherine's guest gasp behind us.
"This must be the famous Sara my sister has been talking up," Nancy
said introducing herself as I gave her a hug, but she got the last laugh by
grabbing my butt causing Catherine to bust out laughing.
I turned around to see Catherine fighting the urge to laugh so more as I
whisper in her asking where the bathroom was. She let
"Whether or not you put
I let out a chuckle as I did what I needed. I knew that playing this game with
Catherine would probably be worse on me, but I got the first shot, so it is
going to be fun from here on out as I opened the door to find the hallway
empty. I quietly made my way back into the living room and laid
on the floor behind the girls knowing that I was safe from Catherine as long as
the girls were near, but I also knew that I was delaying the inevitable.
I ended up being a lean on for the girls as we continued watching cartoons as I
smelled something wonderful coming from the kitchen. I hadn't planned on eating
dinner at Catherine's, but then again, I wasn't planning on napping here
either. When the girls and I heard Catherine say dinner was ready, they both
wanted to hold my hand as we walked into the kitchen. Catherine pointed out
where the girls were sitting as I then noticed that left me sitting beside
Catherine. Oh yeah, dinner will be fun, and I'll be having me a cold shower
when Lacey and I get home.
Catherine made a delicious vegetarian spaghetti that
everyone enjoyed, but the thing that surprised me most was that Catherine kept
her hands to herself which didn't make me feel all that comfortable because she
volunteered us to do the dishes. Something tells me I am going to get wet in
more than one way. Even though I didn't have to, I told Lacey to behave when
she was with Lindsay as I collected the rest of the dishes before heading into
the kitchen.
CHAPTER 7
I walked into the kitchen to find
Catherine standing by an open dishwasher door. I knew what she was going to do,
so I just put the dishes on the counter while I loaded the machine sticking my
ass in the air giving Catherine free reign to grope whatever she liked. I also
helped out by taking my time, and just as I loaded a couple plates, she started
rubbing the crotch of my pants hard as I bit my lip containing my moans, so we
didn't scar the girls with our game of grab ass.
By the time, I finished loading the dishes my legs were shaky, but I didn't
give Catherine the satisfaction, so I gave her a smile before heading out her
sliding glass door. When I walked out, I saw that Catherine had a pool and
formulated a plan that would probably cost me dearly, but I decided to go ahead
with it anyway. I pulled at my pants to get them away from my enflamed clit
while I started taking deep breaths as Catherine made her way over to me. I had
my hands on my knees when I felt her hand on my back as I stood up giving her a
smile before giving her a push into the pool.
"Sara Sidle, I am going to kick your butt!" I heard her yell as I ran
into the house laughing and making my way over to the girls.
"Mommy, Lindsay is having a sleepover this weekend with her friends. Can I
come?" Lacey asked all sweetly.
"Sara, you can come too. Mom could always use an adult to keep her company
and to keep control of six kids," Lindsay chimed in hoping to help Lacey's
cause.
"That sounds like fun, but make sure it is okay with," was all I got
out as Catherinecame sloshing in as the three of us started laughing before
Catherine went upstairs in a huff as Lindsay went after her.
I pulled Lacey into my lap wrapping my arms around kissing her cheek as we
continued to watch cartoons. I couldn't stop smiling knowing this weekend is
probably going to be rough on me, but what a way to go. Lindsay came and let me
know that Catherine wanted to see me before we left, so I popped up and went up
the stairs smiling even wider thinking I may get Catherine Willows full monty. I walked down the hall to the open bedroom and found
Catherine drying her hair wearing a robe. She walked straight towards me as she
saw me enter.
"You Miss Sidle are in for a weekend of hell, so it might be a good idea
if you bring a lot of panties because I plan on soaking them every chance I
get," she threatened exclamating with a kiss as I loosened the robe tie
only to find her wearing pajamas.
"Bring it on Willows because I can give as good
as I get," I retorted by grabbing the back of her neck and pulling her
into a deep kiss.
After a few more kisses, I headed back downstairs where Lacey and I said
goodbye to Lindsay before leaving. I couldn't believe my luck. My would-be
enemy for the last six years is looking like the best relationship I have had
ever, and we haven't even gone out on a date. The ride home was spent with
Lacey telling me about the friends Lindsay is inviting over. I felt tears
starting to well up thankful that she might have a circle of friends in place
before even going to school.
I knew it wouldn't lighten my 'torment', but I ordered flowers to be delivered
to Catherine when we got home. I made the note a thank you for all the help
that she has given me and will give me. Afterwards, I hit the shower to cool
off from my evening with Catherine. Unlike my past partners, Catherine is aware
of some of my past, and she still wants to be with me. I had just crawled into
bed when Lacey knocked on the door jamb and without even asking I just opened
the sheets to let her in. I decided to have some fun with her, so after
climbing in, I propped myself on top of her playing her usual part which earned
me giggles before laying down beside her.
I woke up the next morning to the phone ringing. I picked it up and listened to
the principal tell me that Lacey will be able to start the fourth grade
starting Monday. I thanked him before hanging up and laid back down watching
Lacey sleep. I realized that I didn't know what I was going to do during the
day while she was at school. Sure, when I am working, I will be sleeping, but
I'm on vacation time. I guess I can always paint except on the days that
Catherine have off which will be spent with her while we wait for school to let
out. I watched as Lacey went through her wake up routine until I was met with
pretty brown eyes.
"Go get dressed pumpkin, we have a celebratory breakfast to go on," I
said smiling as Lacey jumped on my chest raining kisses all over my face.
"I will make you proud mommy," she said giving me one last kiss
before running to her room as I picked up the phone to at least tell
Catherine's machine the good news. Plus, I could leave a dirty message to
strike first blood. After telling her that I was planning on coming over
completely commando, I climbed out of bed and got dressed.
Not surprising, we ended up at IHOP. What was surprising was that Catherine
joined us. Luckily, Lacey spent the whole time talking about getting to be in
the fourth grade, and how happy she is going to be to tell Lindsay about it.
Catherine told Lacey that she would bring her over after she picked her up from
school. After eating, Lacey went to the bathroom to wash up as Catherine and I
shared a couple kisses, and she thanked me for the flowers, but let me know
that they didn't buy me any points, and that I was still in trouble at the
sleepover. I just smiled as we said our goodbyes when Lace came back going our
separate ways for now.
CHAPTER 8
When we got home, Lacey went into
her room to get some stuff packed for her sleepover while I went into my
office/studio and continued on the painting I started just a few days ago. I
needed something to take my mind off of what trouble Catherine and I are going
to get ourselves into. What was going to be a somber piece turned into
beautiful skyline, and I must have lost track of time because as I was cleaning
off my brushes, I heard a gasp behind me. I turned around to see Catherine
standing in the doorway.
"Wow! Sara, I had no idea how talented you are, but some how I shouldn't
be surprised. I'm sorry for how Lacey was brought into your life, but it gave
me a chance to see the real you," Catherine said as I walked over and
pulled her into my arms and gave her a deep and passionate kiss. I heard the
girls giggling behind Catherine, but I didn't let them bother me.
"As much as I like seeing you two happy, I only have one rule for the
sleepover. If you insist on kissing, please take it into another room. I don't
know about Lacey, but I'd rather not be the topic for the night," Lindsay
said smiling as she and Lacey walked back to Lacey's room holding hands.
"I guess we were told. Come help me pick out my clothes," I said
taking Catherine's hand and taking us to my bedroom.
Once we got to my room, Catherine had me sit on the bed while she went through
my wardobe. I decided to start the fun by unbuttoning my shirt showing off my
deep red bra. I was running my fingers back and forth across my chest when she
turned around holding my black bikini. I watched as she dropped it onto the bed
before crawling up form the bottom until she was straddling my hips.
"Why Miss Sidle, are you offering to show me the twins?" Catherine
asked as I just placed my hands behind my head.
She pulled my shirt off and threw it onto the floor as she took the front clasp
on my bra in her fingers before unhooking it. My bra landed near my shirt as
Catherine traced my breasts with her fingers. I closed my eyes taking in the feelings
that Catherine was bringing out in me as the voice in the back of head was
screaming for me to put a stop to it, but my moans were slowly drowning it out.
"Oh goddess," I moaned out as Catherine's mouth came in contact with
my nipple. She started rolling her tongue around it as a light knocking broke
us out of our revelry.
"Mommy, Lindsay and I are both getting hungry, and we were hoping we could
have pizza before leaving," Lacey said through the door as I picked up a
pillow to let out a loud groan into.
"We'll be right out girls," Catherine said before kissing me between
my breasts, "Sara, if you are okay with this, I would really like to
continue this tonight."
"Goddess yes, I know we have just recently gotten together, but we had six
years of foreplay, and I so want to hear you scream," I said following her
off the bed, "How about you take care of the girls, and I'll 'finish'
packing."
I had to take a few deep breaths before getting my weekend wardrobe in order. I
made sure to include some items that would surprise Catherine more. If she
thought she had the whole picture, she has another thing coming. By the time I
brought my overnight bag out, Catherine had the girls setting the table while
she got drinks together. I just watched her in awe from the living room as she
made everything look so easy.
I answered the door when the doorbell rang and paid the delivery boy before
taking the three boxes to the table. I opened the first box, and it was Lacey's
potato pizza. I guess she is going to try to recruit a couple fans to her
favorite topping. I for one was never fond of it even though I was a
vegetarian. There is just something wrong about potatoes being on pizza.
Personally, I like pepper, onion and double cheese pizza myself. Catherine and Lindsay
went for the always favorite pepperoni which was mine until Grissom's pig
experiment.
I watched along with Catherine as Lindsay gave Lacey small bios of the girls
she was going to meet. It makes me feel more comfortable taking her to school
knowing that she will have friends looking out for her. I just don't know what
I'm going to do with myself since I took vacation thinking I would need more
time to get Lacey acclimated to the new city, home and school, but like Kate,
she took to things like a duck to water. Unlike me, who took forever to get comfortable. I still don't feel like I fit in at the lab
even though the gang was here in force helping us out.
I was taken out of my internal ramblings when I felt Catherine's hand on top of
mine. She gave me a bright smile that made all my worries just drift away as we
continued to listen to the girls talk. Lindsay also was letting Lace know what
they were doing in school. I guess I'm not the only Sidle that has a Willows
looking out for her.
"Hey girls, why don't you wash up and play for a little bit while we take
care of the dishes," I said helping Catherine clean off the table.
We actually did the dishes without teasing, but I think that is because we both
know what is going to happen tonight. We had a couple water fights, but nothing
major. After finishing up, I held Catherine in my arms as we watched the girls
play. They must have been playing one of Greg's racing games because they both
kept throwing shoulders into each other. It's not really surprising since Greg
taught me the tactic, so I guess these two know it too. I kissed the back of
Catherine's head as I went over and grabbed Lacey and I's
bags, so we could go as soon as they were done. I can't wait to see how this
weekend turns out.
CHAPTER 9
Unbelievable, my daughter wanted
to ride with Lindsay over to Catherine's and not her mom, but hey, if I could
rode with Catherine, I would have too, so I don't hold anything against her.
Anyway, here I am following behind my girlfriend going to her house where we
are going to chaperone six kids for a sleepover. I must really like this woman
to put myself through this, well that and it is going to help Lacey when she
goes to school on Monday. I just hope they accept her even though she is
younger than them.
As I pull into Catherine's driveway, I see her already walking the kids inside
the house. I just hope I'm half the mom she is, to Lacey. I parked the car and
grabbed my bag before walking up to the house. I came in to find none of the
three around, but I heard giggling from down the hall, so I headed that
direction. I watched from the doorway while Catherine and the girls were
setting the family room up, so there would be room for six girls, and of course
Lacey put her sleeping bag beside Lindsay's.
"Sara, that is going to my room. Let me show
you," Catherine said smiling before taking my hand and leading us couple
door up from the family room.
Once inside the door, Catherine pinned me against it kissing me deeply as my
hands made their way up her shirt. Hers were gripping my ass tightly, and I was
about to unclasp her bra when the doorbell rang. We both pulled away chuckling
because we haven't really had much of a chance to get very far, but I'm sure
that will change as we straightened ourselves out before going to see who was
at the door. When we came in, there were four extra girls with four other moms
while I noticed that Lacey was holding Lindsay's hand tightly, but Linds didn't
seem to mind.
"Okay, I'm just going to make a quick intro. Lacey, these are my friends
Melissa, Varsha, Lina and Monica. Guys, this is Lacey. She is Sara's daughter
and will be starting school with us on Monday," Linds said as I watched
the girls start their own talking except Lindsay's friend Varsha. She was
eyeing me up until Lindsay whispered something into her ear that made her smile
at Catherine before joining the convo. Catherine introduced to the parents
before they left as we showed the girls where to put their stuff.
After dinner, we all headed back to the family room to watch some movies before
going to bed. I spent most of the first movie watching Lacey get along so well
with girls she just met hours early. Catherine wrapped her arms around me
kissing my neck before whispering 'she'll be fine' into my ear as I leaned back
into Catherine while actually concentrating on the movie. When the second movie
ended, even I knew the girls weren't going to bed, but Catherine gave them the
behave speech before leading us to her room.
I pulled my Harvard lacrosse jersey out of my bag before starting to strip. It
wasn't until I had taken off my bra and turned around when I noticed that
Catherine was just sitting on the bed enjoying the show, I walked up to her and
placed her hands on my breasts letting her caress them. She gave each nipple a
tender kiss before letting me put on my shirt as she sat me in the place she
was before starting to take off her clothes. I knew she had a great ass, but
seeing it in the flesh left me speechless as did her breasts. She was giggling
as she dug out an overshirt because if I touched her as she did mine, I
wouldn't have had the same self control.
I woke up when I heard the giggle. I opened my eyes to find Lacey and Lindsay
standing at the edge of the bed looking at me. I nudged Catherine awake as she
crawled out of bed before putting on a pair of pajama pants. Lindsay followed
her out as I patted the bed for Lace to climb up.
"So, do I need to find you a private school?" I said chuckling
kissing her forehead.
"No, they were great. I think Lindsay being accepting of me helps them.
Um, I found that after we eat Melissa's mom is going to us all to the carnival.
Can I go?" she asked shyly.
"Yeah sweetie, it's fine. It will help you guys bond more," I said
giving her a hug.
"Plus, this gives you and Lindsay's mom more time to kiss," Lacey
said jumping off the bed before I got a chance to grab her.
After putting pants on myself, I walked down the hall to the smell of pancakes
and eggs. I found Lindsay's friend Varsha waiting in the living room while the
others were helping Catherine. I bent down to see if there was anything was
wrong, but before I got a chance to ask she gave me a quick kiss before running
into the kitchen. I just smiled standing up and following her to the kitchen.
Catherine handed me the platter of eggs as I sat them on the table giving
Varsha a wink before sitting down.
Catherine and I just watched as the girls talked while we ate, and I had to
smile as Lacey talked like she had known these girls forever. The girls went
back into the family room while Catherine and I did the dishes. I could tell
Catherine wanted to say something, but I didn't want to assume to know what it
was she was thinking, so we cleaned in silence until the doorbell rang causing six
girls to come running. I gave Lacey a hug and kiss before letting her join her
friends. After closing the door, I locked it and turned around to see Catherine
off in space, so I sauntered over to her.
Taking her head in my hands, I gave her a deep kiss before pulling back to get
a reaction. She just pulled her lips back to mine as her hands went up my shirt
and started to caress and play with my breasts. I let out a breathy 'bedroom'
as she pick us off the couch and carried us to her
bedroom. We kissed all the way down the hall bouncing off the wall a couple
times before finally walking through her bedroom door and kicking it shut. She
walked us over to the bed before falling backwards onto it. I untied the
drawstring of her pants before pulling them past her knees before standing up.
I quickly stripped out of my shirt and pants before doing the same for
Catherine. She slid up the bed as I climbed up after her straddling her hips. I
kissed her deeply as our hands did some heavy exploring. I think we both knew
we weren't ready to go all the way, but we could flirt with the line which got
suddenly blurry when I felt Catherine bring her thigh against my core as she
slowly started to grind against it. I opened up my legs to give her more room
as I my moans were getting louder and as Catherine lightly bit down my nipple,
I loudly moaned out her name as my body started to shake through my climax.
I found myself trying to keep my eyes open when I felt a kiss beside my ear,
"Sleep my beautiful Sara, I've got you," was the last thing I heard
before falling asleep.
CHAPTER 10
The rest of the weekend was a
blur. Catherine and I got to go further in the teasing the next morning because
Varsha's mom came and took the girls to the carnival before bringing Linds and
Lace back. We actually spent another night there before Linds came over to our
place since Catherine had to work that next night. The girls were good which
surprised me because I remember hearing Catherine's stories about having to
fight with Lindsay over going to sleep on school nights. I think I was more
nervous than Lacey was. I went to bed when they did in case Catherine needed me
to drop off Linds too.
When the alarm went off, I turned it off with a groan. I crawled out of bed and
padded my way to the kitchen. I started the coffee before going down the hall
to make sure the girls were up. I knocked on the door before opening it to find
both of them already dressed and ready to go, "Pancakes?" I asked
only getting quiet nods as I left in case they were talking 'secretly'. I went
back to the kitchen and whipped up the batter before and placing the first six
down as someone knocked on the door. I checked and smiled as Catherine was
behind the door.
"Morning Sexy," I said opening the door and giving her a kiss.
"Wow, is Sara Sidle in there somewhere because there is no way you are
this much of a morning person," Catherine said coming in looking around.
"Har, Har, just for that you get no coffee, and the girls are still in
their room. Maybe you can get them to talk," I said smirking, and as she
was walking away, I gave her a firm smack to the ass
causing her to yip.
I went back into the kitchen and flipped the pancakes just in time. I still
hadn't heard from any of the girls since Catherine showed up. I just continued
making breakfast while waiting to see if any of the girls made an appearance. I
had a couple dozen done when the three of them came out with smiles on. I knew
they were up to something because I can read Lindsay like a book. She can't
hide a thing from me. I just played along as I placed the platter on the table
before going back into the kitchen for the drinks, Catherine and I's coffee and Lindsay and Lacey's juice.
"Mommy, what are you going to do while I'm at school?" Lacey asked
breaking the breakfast silence.
"I don't know sweetie, but I'm sure I'll figure out something to pass the
time," I said as Lindsay let out a chuckle as I turned towards her,
"Okay Linds, what do you know?"
"Nothing, absolutely nothing," she said finding her plate real
interesting.
"Sara, would you like to spend the day with me? The girls were telling me
how nervous you've been. Don't worry, I felt the same way the first time I took
Linds to school, and it gets easier after time. But I will tell you, I'm going
to need some sleep before we do anything," Catherine explained letting the
girls off the hook.
"Thank goodness, last night was the worst night of sleep I have ever
had," I said laughing as we continued to eat.
The girls were nice enough to load the dishwasher while Catherine and I drank
our coffee. She wasn't talking, but then again, neither was I. I was too busy
freaking out over Lacey going to school. I knew she was going to be okay, and I
knew she wouldn't be alone, but this was going to be the first time I had spent
a large length of time away from Lacey, and it was freaking me out. I had just
finished my coffee when I felt arms wrap around me. I looked down to see Lacey
smiling up at me.
"I'm going to be okay Mom. I have done this plenty of times, and I know
this your first time, but trust me, I'll be okay, and you made sure of that by
introducing me to Lindsay, who introduced me to her friends. Just stick with Catherine, and you'll be fine too," she said as I bent
to kiss her cheek.
"Stick with Catherine, huh," I said winking at Catherine, "I
think I can do that."
Catherine drove us to school, and we were quiet while the girls were talking a
mile a minute. I spent the time just looking out the window trying to relax
which was easier now after Lacey's pep talk, and knowing Catherine was going to
be there with me helped even more, I can only imagine how she is going to keep
my mind off things after our sleep. Maybe we'll sleep until we have to pick the
girls up, but something tells me, my brain won't let me. As Catherine pulled up
to the school, my heart leapt into my throat.
"I'll take care of her Sara," Lindsay whispered hugging me.
"It is just seven hours Mom, it'll be over before you know it," Lacey
said kissing my cheek also hugging me as I watched Linds take Lacey's hand
leading them in the doors.
"Come on babe, let's go home and get some sleep before starting Operation:
Distraction," Catherine said leaning over giving me a deep kiss before
holding my hand on the trip back to my house.
The trip back was quick as Catherine led us back to my bedroom. She grabbed my
Harvard hockey jersey before stripping down to her panties. Now granted I have
seen her naked a few times, but I am still in awe of her beauty. She put my
jersey on before climbing into bed as I quickly took my lounge pants and shirt
off leaving me in a wife beater and panties. Catherine let out a whistle before
opening the sheets and patting the bed beside her. I was blushing as I climbed
in, and Catherine draped an arm and leg over me before whispering 'sweet
dreams' in my ear. She was asleep almost instantly, and her calming presence
had me asleep shortly after.
CHAPTER 11
//Mmm, this is one of my better
Catherine dreams. She is between my legs going to town while I am making
ungodly noises, and her hands are trying to remove my nipples from my chest. My
hips rise off the bed everytime she bumps my clit with her nose. I watch as one
of her hands leave my breast, and then I feel her fingers enter me and start to
massage my sweet spot and as I feel her teeth graze along my tender clit//
"CATHERINE!!!!!" I screamed out as my hips arch off the bed.
After clearing my head from my intense release, I look down to see Catherine
smiling at me with her mouth still glistening with my juices, "Afternoon
Sara, have any interesting dreams?"
I didn't say a word as I leaned down and pulled her up the bed. She was still
in my jersey as I flipped us over, and before I got started, I took it off and
flung it over my back. I started off by giving her a tender kiss before
trailing kisses down her neck until I reached the valley between her breasts. I
lightly bit the skin there leaving a mark as I let my hands caress the twins
while I continued kissing down Catherine's body. She must have already been
really worked up because she was flowing by the time I reached her apex.
"Sara, please," she begged as I sucked on her clit while sliding my
fingers deep inside her causing her to scream out my name while flooding my
mouth and hand with her wetness.
I climbed back up the bed and laid my head on her shoulder until the alarm went
off. My face brightened up because I knew I was going to see Lacey soon.
Catherine yanked us out of bed and pushed me into the shower. I was a little
down we weren't sharing, but it was probably a good idea not to shower together
since we had something to do. I did a quick washup before drying off and
walking naked into the bedroom where Catherine had already stripped and remade
the bed. She gave me a kiss before heading to the shower herself.
I dressed quickly before running to the kitchen to start the coffee, so I could
have a cup ready for Catherine when she comes out. I went outside and grabbed
the paper before walking back into the kitchen to pour both cups. I checked the
sports section first to see how the Giants did the night before. I was taking a
sip of coffee when the paper folded down, and I received another kiss. I
finished off my coffee before heading to the car. The ride to the school was
quick, so it was also quiet. I jumped out as Catherine stopped the car waiting
like a kid at Christmas.
The bell rang, and I watched as the kids came out the doors. I heard the
'Mommy' before I saw her as her and Lindsay came into focus. Lindsay let
Lacey's hand go as she ran over and jumped into my arms. I picked her and gave
her a kiss on the cheek before opening the door and placing her in her seat and
buckling her up. I climbed in watching Catherine and Lindsay coming around the
other side. Once we were all in the car, I turned around and faced the girls,
"So, who wants to get ice cream?" after getting 'me's' from both
girls and Catherine, she drove us their favorite place.
We walked around the park eating our ice cream before heading back to my place.
The girls started their homework while Catherine went back to take a nap, so I
went into my studio to see if I could get any painting done before having to
start dinner. Once I picked up the brush, the desertscape came into focus, and
I finished it rather quickly. I cleaned up, and as I came back into the living
room, I found that Lacey and Lindsay had fallen asleep on the couch. I smiled
before heading off to start the spaghetti.
The girls awoke shortly after I started the sauce, so when it was almost ready,
I sent them in to wake up Catherine. When she came out, I felt my breath catch
because even with bedhead, she was absolutely beautiful. I gave her a kiss
pulling out her chair and heading to the kitchen and bringing dinner to the
table. Catherine and I didn't have to talk during dinner because Lacey was
telling us everything she did today. I looked over at Catherine a couple times,
and she was as interested as I was. Huh, maybe Lacey won't be the last stories we here.
Catherine and the girls took care of the dishes while they told me to relax. I
did after picking out a movie to watch before Catherine had to go to work. When
the trio came into the living room, Catherine cuddled up against me while the
girls shared the chair while I pushed play, and we enjoyed Cars. I knew
tomorrow was going to be easier than today and with Catherine by my side
anything is possible. I wrapped my arms tightly around Catherine before finally
concentrating on the movie.
I had the girls pick out the pre-bedtime movie while I went with Catherine to
'help' her get dressed for work. She instructed me to just sit and watch as she
got dressed because she knew just like the shower, we didn't have any time for
funny business, but there was the promise of morning fun, so I sat and enjoyed
the show before walking her out to her car. I came back up and sat between the
girls as they started the original Lilo & Stitch. About halfway through, I
was a bed to both girls, so when the movie ended, I made sure to lock up and
shut everything off before carrying the girls to bed.
As I got changed for bed, I went through my day like I always did, but this time, it was filled with fun and family. I smiled as I
climbed into bed on Catherine's side to make sure the last thing I smell is her
scent. I knew there were going to be days that sucked beyond belief, but I also
knew those days were going to be few and far between now that I have something
to come home to. I was almost asleep when my phone buzzed, and I saw that it
was a text forom Catherine wishing me sweet dreams. I replied with they will be
now before quickly falling asleep.
CHAPTER 12
The last two weeks have pretty
much flown by. Well if you had Catherine 'distracting' you, time would fly by
as well. I think we have made love in every room in each other's house, well
besides the girls' rooms. Lacey has completely come into her own at school
which has impressed everyone. Anyway, tonight is my first night back, and I
feel like I did the first time I took Lacey to school, but this time, I'm
freaking out because I am leaving her with someone for the night. Granted, it is
Catherine drove us to work since she was aware of my situation. She explained
that like Lacey's first day of school, Lacey is going to be fine because
Lindsay was there, and so will I because I had her. Of course, I 'needed' her
kiss me a few times to make me feel better before we left, but we finally
headed into work. She also warned me that the guys were planning a 'Welcome
Back' party, and if I acted surprised, Catherine would make it worth my while
after shift. Speaking of shift, I hope Gil doesn't try to ease me back.
We stopped in Catherine's office first to drop off our purses. Then, we headed
into the break room that sported a 'Welcome Back Sara' sign. I gripped
Catherine's hand tightly as we walked to the hugs of my family. While I talked
with the guys, Catherine got us each a cup of coffee. I took the mug from her
and noticed that it was a novelty mug. It had 'World's Greatest Mom' on it. Of
course to avoid crying in front of the guys, I punched them all before turning
around and deeply kissing Catherine.
"Welcome back Sara," Grissom said coming in and joining us as I
walked over to him and gave him a hug as well, "Okay people, assignments
are up. Warrick, you and Nick have a major B & E. Catherine have Sara help
you on your case since you told me that she needs distracting tonight," he
snickered before walking out as I looked at Catherine.
"Come on Nick, we don't need to see Catherine grovel. We'll just get Greg
to give us the details later," Warrick ended up laughing too as he and
Nick left.
"Why Ms. Willows, it looks like your making it worth my while just got a
little bigger," I said putting my hands on my hips.
"Fine, I'll add a massage to your already shower and bed fun. Anything
else, or can we get started, so I can get your expertise on this case,"
Catherine said leaning forward and placing a tender kiss on my lips.
"Mmm, a massage. We might not make it to the
shower," I smirked taking her hand, so we could go to the layout she was
using.
-----
As per usual, Catherine and I figured it out together, so even though our
relationship has changed, it hasn't changed how we work together. Gil gave us
both a 'nice job' before booting us out, so we could have breakfast with our
girls. We dropped our work stuff off in our lockers before going to Catherine's
office to pick up our stuff, but I had another idea. Once we entered, I shoved
Catherine against the door and passionately kissed while grinding my thigh into
her core. I know what I'm about to is going to cost me, but what the hell as I
pulled away quickly, "Ready to go?"
Catherine surprised me by not saying anything, but the look in her eye and the
smile on her face spoke volumes that told me my massage was going to be hell.
When we pulled into
The ride to school was spent with me explaining to the girls about Catherine
and I's night. They did the usual hugging before leaving
as we headed home. I thought she might start the return teasing on the way
home, but all I was getting was that 'Catherine' smirk.
I had half a mind to add to my 'punishment', but she was driving, so I didn't
risk it. As she put the car in park, she locked the doors before turning in her
seat.
"Here are your instructions. First, take a shower. Then, don't bother
getting dressed and just lie on your stomach in the middle of the bed, and I
will join you shortly after that," as I just nodded as she let us out.
I have never liked quick showers, but with what I had waiting for me, I made
this one exception. I quickly dried off before padding over to Catherine's
bedroom naked and plopping myself in the middle of her bed. I must have fallen
asleep because when Catherine lightly smacked my ass, I found myself tied to
the four corners of the bed, and I could feel Catherine's wetness on the small
of my back, "No worries beautiful, I'm not going to be Mistress Cat, but I
needed to be sure, you couldn't impede MY fun," she said as I felt her
hardened nipples going up my back.
It did start as a normal massage as she loosened my shoulders and back, but
when she reached my legs, that is when it started to
change. After massaging my ass, she was doing my hammies when I felt her
fingers teasing my moistened centre. She kept doing this over and over, and I
went so far as to try to arch into her fingers, but she would just pull away
causing my groan to get louder. Then, she topped herself. As she was massaging
my thighs she was grinding her very wet core on my cheeks. Once she finished, I
thought it over, but I was wrong. She laid on top of
me before starting to finger herself. Her mouth was right in my ear as all I
could do was listen to her moan as she closed in on her climax.
"So sexy, do you want to cum?" she asked moaning in my ear as I just
nodded while she slid her idle hand underneath before sliding a couple fingers
deep inside me, "Cum with me," she moaned louder as I rocked with her
thrusts, and as she pinched my clit, I arched off the bed as my climax tore
through me as I felt Catherine's wetness traveling down my crack before mixing
with my juices, "That was so erotic Sara. I love the feelings you bring
out in me," I heard her say while also feeling her releasing me from my
confines before pulling me into her arms as we slowly fell asleep.
CHAPTER 13
I still can't believe I'm sitting
here with my wife and daughter listening to our other two daughters give their
valedictorian speeches. So much has change since Lacey came into my life at a
time when I was trying to figure out what to do with myself. In she comes,
turns everything upside down, and it has been the great from the start. Work on
the other still had its' hiccups, but Catherine and I
worked through them and got stronger because of it. The best part is that now
Catherine is running the lab while I work part time on days with Greg and Nick.
Well, Nick is the days supervisor, but he only pulls
rank when he has to.
While I'm sitting here listening to Lindsay's speech, I thought about the major
reasons why Catherine and I are sitting here today. The first of which happened
shortly after I got back to work. Grissom and I had this scene at a mental
hospital, and things were going fine at the beginning, but as we were getting
deeper into the case, I ended up locked in an office with a psychotic Adam
Trent. While he terrorized me with his words, all I was thinking about was knowing Lacey was going to be okay because she had
Catherine, Lindsay, and the rest of the family to take care of here. I was
finally freed, and afterwards, I told Catherine about visiting my mom in a
place like that. We went to a counselor together for a couple weeks after that
to work through past issues.
The next one happened not long after that. Nick was kidnapped by some guy with an
axe to grind. I thought I knew what family was, but during that I found out, it
was better than I thought. At work, we banded together to find Nick, and at
home, we leaned on each other for strength to keep going. It was then that I
asked Lacey if she wanted to move in with Catherine and Lindsay. To say she was
thrilled would be an understatement. So after we found and rescued Nick, I
cooked dinner for the four of us and asked Catherine and Lindsay to move in
together.
I haven't been scared too many times in my life, but when Brass got shot, it
hit me hard. Not surprising since he pretty looked out
for me since I've been here. So in typical Sara Sidle fashion, I took the girls
out shopping for an engagement ring, but before that I sat Lili and Nancy down
and let them know of my intentions which ended with the three of us in tears
after hearing they already considered Lacey and I part of the family, so I had
them help with setup to make sure it would be a complete surprise to Catherine,
and it was.
But, it was almost for naught when we as a team found out Catherine lied to us
over a case. Grissom had taken some time off when the Miniture Killer had
thrown him off, so he took a teaching job for about a month leaving Catherine
in charge. I always knew she could run shift, so it wasn't surprising she
handled it in stride, but when Keppler showed up she changed a little. I
chalked it up to job newness, but after finding out about the reverse forensics
ruse, I was more hurt than angry. Then again, we all were, but Catherine gave
me space, and we came through it stronger.
If you told me I would have gotten married when I was younger, I would have
laughed in your face, but to surprise Catherine changed my opinion of marriage.
Not surprising after we were married, the topic of kids came up frequently, and
as much fun as it has been raising Lacey and Lindsay, I never experienced the
early stuff, so we made sure the girls were okay with another family member
before deciding on our avenues. We both liked the idea of having the guys
involved, so the four of them anonymously before selecting one as the donors
not knowing which is was. Nine months later, Valentina Lily Willows-Sidle was
born.
Of course, the whole family spoiled the crap out of her. Lacey and Lindsay were
the best. They would always try to outdo each other when they spent time with
their sister. Catherine and I would just watch them dote over her. Having Vale
also helped me relish the time I had with Lacey and Lindsay before her, but it
also helped me realize what I missed until I had her. Vale also put my job in
perspective. I started as a CSI for me, but when I had my baby girl, I realized
that I had to change even more, so I moved to part time after I came back, but
would work more to if needed.
So here I am holding hands with my wife and five year old girl while listening
to Lacey finish up her speech. Neither her or Lindsay
would tell either of us what they wrote, so it would be a surprise, and of
course, they both made us cry, and we were so proud of them both. Now, I'm
holding the camera while the principal goes through the class which is long
when your daughters' last name starts with W. I was also prepared for what Vale
might do when she hears her sisters' names, "Lacey and Lindsay Willows-Sidle,"
he announced as Vale jumped on her chair and let loose with a loud WOOHOO which
of course garnered lots of attention.
After the ceremony, the girls came over for hugs before taking Vale to meet
their friends while we hung out with some parents. I was sort of listening
while I watched the girls interact. I was more than thrilled that my sometimes
loner persona didn't get passed to my girls, but then again, I lost that
persona once Lacey came into my life. I must not have paying attention because
Catherine gave me a tender kiss breaking me out of my revelry as I noticed that
the girls had joined us again. On the way home, we found out that the girls
were going out with friends, so it would just be the three of us.
To my surprise, Catherine had 'arranged' for Vale to spend the night with her
Aunt Nancy leaving us home alone, whatever will we do. While Catherine was
gone, I gave the girls the rules before letting them go. After that, I headed
to the bedroom and set up for a night of whatever. It can just be cuddling
watching a movie, or a night of passionate love making. Whatever it was, it
would be me and Catherine, so I would love it, and just as I lit the last
candle, I heard her unmistakable voice through the door, "You best be
naked in there my dear Sara." What do you know, I
guessed right.
The End.
