“Yep we are, guess you like it huh?”

“I do, this is so cool!”

“Okay little one can you keep an eye on Ryan while I get his stroller out of the car?”

Lindsey nodded while she turned to Ryan, she started to explain what a zoo was to the three year old.

“Are there spiders?” he asked Lindsey, and she turned to me.

“I don’t know, but I know a place where you can find spiders.” I smiled, I would take them into work later and let Grissom show Ryan his spiders that would at least get him off our backs. Ever since the case where Ryan’s parents and sister were killed Catherine and I had offered Janice help when she needed it. She was Ryan’s older sister and from one day unto another she decided to take Ryan into her life and raise him as her own, and she is only 21. I was the one who found Ryan at the crime scene and I couldn’t ignore the fact that he lost everything while I gained so much. If it wasn’t for this case then I don’t think that Cath and I would ever have admitted what we felt for each other. I had always known that I loved her, but Cath realized she loved me when she almost lost me when I was kidnapped. Grissom didn’t really like the way that Cath and I became involved in the case and especially the fact that we decided to help Janice out wherever we could. But I knew for sure that he wouldn’t mind if he finally found someone who likes spiders, even if it is a three year old.

I got Ryan out of the car seat and put him in the stroller. I walked towards the line in front of the entrance and we waited for our turn to buy the tickets. Lindsey grabbed my hand.

“Thanks Sara.”

I looked down at her, not knowing what she meant. “Thanks for what?”

“For making my mum so happy. She was so sad after dad died. I think that she blamed herself because she had left him. This wouldn’t have happened when they where still together. She cried almost every night…”
