"Who's that?" Sara gestured at the cage on Grissom's desk.

"Katherine. She's pregnant!" Catherine replied enthusiastically.

Nick came up from behind Sara, just catching the last words of Catherine's response, "Who's pregnant?"

"Katherine." Sara, Catherine, and Grissom answered in unison.

Nick's eyes widened at the news and he turned to Catherine with a curious glance, "Who's the father?" He asked cautiously.

Catching on to Nick's misunderstanding, Catherine grinned, "Gil, of course."

When Nick's eyes widened even more, Grissom gave Catherine a disapproving look but could hardly contain the smile that was now appearing on his face, "I think Catherine means *Gilbert*. He and Katherine are my spiders." He held up the cage with the 2 spiders inside.

"Right..." Nick was amazed at how odd Grissom could be sometimes, "you named your spider after Catherine?"

Sara bit her lip, trying to keep from laughing, as she nudged Nick away from the doorway, "We're gonna go now. See you guys later." She pushed Nick further down the hallway and when she was sure they were out of earshot, she burst out into laughter.

Nick tilted his head, looking at her oddly, "What's so funny?"

"You. After all these years, haven't you learned not to question Grissom's actions?"

"Well I'm sorry if I find it odd that he named his *pet spider* after Catherine. I mean, most guys send flowers or give chocolates, but naming a spider after a girl?" Nick considered his own question and then shrugged, "I guess there's a first for everything."

*THE END*
