I've Got You, Baby
Summary: This story takes places after Post-Butterflied, so if you haven't read that, I'd recommend you do so first or you could be confused. Grissom and Sara are married, so naturally the next step would be having a baby.
Chapter One
A huge smile spread its way across Sara Grissom's face as she had to check one last time just to be sure. Once she was certain that her imagination was not at work here, she flew out of the bathroom to find her waiting husband.
"Well?" he asked anxiously.
"It's positive!" she exclaimed.
Gil was absolutely speechless as his wife stood staring at him. He couldn't help but allow his eyes to drop to her stomach.
"Are you just going to stand there?" she asked, a hint of teasing in her voice.
"No," he moved to where she stood and wrapped his arms tightly around her.
"We're going to have a baby," she whispered.
"Yes we are," the grin spread wide on his face now.
"I love you," she kissed him.
"I love you too, Sara," they finally parted.
"I guess I need to make an appointment with a doctor," she stepped away, a million things beginning to rush through her mind, "things are going to be changing around here."
"You're right," his eyes grew wide, "we have so much to do before you have this baby."
She laughed at his sudden nervousness, "Just remember, we're going to be having our first child."
"Of course," the nervousness faded away and the sparkle returned to his eyes.
"I can't believe it," she shook her head and dialed the doctor's number.
"Let's wait until after your visit before we break the news to anyone," Gil suggested.
"Okay," she mouthed as the other end of the line was answered, "hello Dr. Miller, I need to make an appointment with you."
Gil returned to the kitchen where he had been preparing breakfast after their long shift the night before. The toaster signified that it was done and he quickly buttered the slices and placed them on the awaiting plates. He had grown used to cooking breakfast in the nearly two years that he lived with Sara and could probably manage to do it blindfolded, but he wasn't about to test out that theory. He chuckled at the thought of how disastrous that could actually be as he flipped over the eggs in one frying pan and stirred the hash browns in the other.
"I have an appointment on Thursday before work," Sara announced.
"All right," Gil smiled, "once the doctor confirms this, you know we have to tell the rest of the gang. They've been pestering us about having a child practically since the wedding."
Sara laughed, "Oh I don't know, we could have fun with it for a while. We could just keep it to ourselves."
"Actually, I'd like to tell my mother. I know she'll be thrilled to have a grandchild," he said as he handed his wife their plates.
"Of course," Sara nodded.
"I'm so happy," Gil sat down and handed her a glass of orange juice, "I just can't stop smiling."
"Me either," Sara agreed.
The graveyard CSI shift was gathered in the break room prior to shift, awaiting Gil and Sara's "big announcement". Of course, most of them already suspected they knew, they were CSIs after all. None of them wanted to ruin the moment, they were more than content to sit and wait for the pair to arrive.
"Okay everyone," Sara smiled, "I have the feeling you all know what I'm about to say, but I'll tell you anyway. I'm pregnant!"
"I told you!" Greg jumped up and pointed to the others.
"Greg, no one was arguing with you, man," Warrick chuckled.
"Congratulations, you guys," Catherine beamed at the pair. She knew the joys of motherhood and had the feeling Sara was going to be very good at it.
"Yeah, congrats," Nick stood and hugged Sara.
"We're so excited," Gil told the group, "there's going to be a lot to do, but hey, we've got almost nine months, right?"
"So how long have you known?" Warrick asked.
"About a week," Sara told him.
"Oh yeah," Nick grinned, "sorry guys, pay up."
"You really do bet on everything don't you?" Gil shook his head.
"It livens things up around here," Greg said, handing over a ten dollar bill.
"You too?" Sara laughed as Catherine handed Nick his money.
"What can I say? The guys are contagious," Catherine grinned.
"I'm glad our personal lives are fun for you guys," Gil smiled, "but we need to get to work."
"That's right, we still work here," Greg said jokingly.
"Not for long if you keep this kind of stuff up," Gil warned, but couldn't hide his smile.
Things had definitely changed on the Las Vegas Crime Lab nightshift in the last couple years. The people working there were much looser and happier around one another. Not a day went by without jokes flying in the break room. They all took their work very seriously, but they could have fun together too. The relationship and marriage of Gil and Sara had set a new precedent at the lab that meant, so long as things did not get out of hand, people would be allowed to date within the lab. Warrick and Catherine dated for a while, before finally getting engaged and married about six months after Gil and Sara. Nick had found a girl that everyone knew he was serious about and even Greg had found a steady girlfriend. All of them now took the time to have personal lives and worked as little overtime as possible.
