Ok, so I WAS going to retaliate against all those angsty, tragic, depressing stories you writers are writing. But how can I when I'm happy?! This story was inspired by the birth of my niece, Cherise. She was born June 13th, 2007 at 8:25pm and she weighed 5lbs 15 1/2 oz's. She's the first grandbaby and neice in the family so this was a huge deal for our family.
I'm actually going to dedicate this story to her, so when she grows up she can read this and know she inspired me to write this and how happy she made us.
Yeah, I know too sappy. Some may be saying "Gag me" but she's my first neice so (sticks tongue out)
I hope this makes everybody happy and giddy after all those sad, depressing stories that have been written lately.
:-D
WARNING: Story was written with a Rating T, because of coarse language and vague mention of sex.
All week, I've been calling you while I'm at work asking if you're in labor yet. The boys hear me and they laugh, as it is not Sara-like to want time off. Every time I call you, we have the same conversation;
"Hey babe! Are you in labor yet?"
"Ha ha! Sara, honey. Once I'm in labor you will be the first to know, don't worry. She will be here when she's ready"
"Are you sure you're not in labor? You didn't have a bath and while you were in the bath your water broke but didn't know because you were in the bath?"
"Sara, honey. I've been in labor before, and once the water breaks the pain comes full force"
"Ooooh, ok. I just want to hold our little daughter, I want time off work so I can be there staring at our little Elizabeth"
"And you will, stop worrying. Now, get back to work Sara and I'll call you when I'm ready"
"Aww, babe. Can't you do anything to induce it yourself? Caster oil? Walking? Sex? I won't mind coming home to induce your labor with sex"
"I'm sure you won't mind. But she'll come when she's ready! Now get your butt to work!"
"Fine… but you'll call me? What if your water breaks, but you're in too much pain that you can't talk?"
"I have my cell phone in my pocket, only because you call every 5 minutes to see if I'm in labor. And if I am in labor, and in too much pain to talk, I'll still dial but you'll hear me screaming in pain."
"Yeah, yeah. You're right. But you're sure not in labor?"
"Sara! Honey, I'm sure. Stop worrying and get back to work!"
"Ok, fine. I love you, babe"
My cell phone going off brings me out of my wonderings. I look down and I see "Cath" flashing. My heart starts racing, this is it! I can feel it!!
"Babe?! Please tell me you're in labor!"
"I'm in labor, Sara! My water just broke!"
"WOO HOO!!! I'M GONNA BE A MOMMY!!!" I say running through the halls trying to find Grissom, and I find him in a lab getting results. But I yelled so loudly that everybody in the labs heard me and Grissom looks up at me
"GO! Sara! GO! Don't stop here! GO! Congratulations! Now GO! Let us know when she's here and we'll be there! Why are you still here, Sara? GO!" Greg and Nick are standing next to Grissom, laughing at me.
I can hear Catherine laughing on the other end of the line "Listen to him, Sara. GO!"
"I'M GOING! I GOTTA GO TO THE LOCKER ROOM TO GET MY STUFF!" I say running through the halls, and running into the locker room. Except I was running so fast that I couldn't stop in time before hitting my locker head-on
"GOD FUCKING DAMMIT! THAT HURT LIKE A BITCH!" I say, ripping my locker open grabbing my jacket before running out of the locker room, still hearing Catherine laugh
I run out of the lab and get into the car
"Babe? I'm on my way! I'll be there as soon as possible. Tell Lindsay to get the bags, and meet me outside with you. Oh! And don't forget the camera!!" I say as I start the car peeling out of the parking spot
"Ok, hon. Drive safe, see you soon. I love you" Catherine says
"Ok! Bye! I'M GONNA BE A MOMMY!" I say as I hang up
I put my lights and sirens on, you gotta love being in law enforcements. Now I can run red lights, go top speed and have everybody pull to the side for you.
I turn onto our street within 5 minutes of me leaving the parking lot and I'm honking my horn letting them know I'm coming and they're waiting on the curb for me. I slam the car into Park, jumping out of the car to help Catherine into the car as Lindsay puts the bags in the back and getting into the backseat.
I jump back into the truck, and Catherine grabs hold of my hand and I look at her
"Are you in pain?! Are you ok?!" I ask
"I'm fine. Just don't go driving around like damn fucking Mario Andretti. I want to be alive for the birth of our baby."
"Ok, I promise" I say, throwing the car into Drive and peeling away from the curb
"Sara! No Mario Andretti!"
"Ok, ok. Can I at least put the lights and sirens on and go double the speed limit? Not triple like I did on the way here?"
At this, Catherine laughs as does Lindsay… the sweetest sounds
"Ok, but no killing us"
"Promise" I say smiling
I pull up to the hospital, and a nurse is waiting out front for us with a wheelchair for Catherine. I had called ahead to let them know. I grab the bags and throw them over my shoulders then I throw the keys to Lindsay and her eyes light up
"Don't crash it. Just park it. You only have your learner's permit, remember"
"Ok! Ok! I can park, I can park" Lindsay says beaming
"I trust you, Linds. I'll have another nurse wait for you here and they can show you to the labor room." I say
"Ok! See you in a few, Sara!" Lindsay says obviously as excited as I am
I turn and start running after the nurse and Catherine. I feel like I am on a high. I'm gonna be a mommy! I never thought I would be so happy about being a mom. I help Catherine into her gown and onto the bed, just as Lindsay comes running into the room.
Is this making you LAUGH? Is this making you HAPPY??
:-D
