Everyday Moments
Sara was eating a scoop of her favorite organic non-dairy frozen dessert with strawberries at the bar in the kitchen, when she heard the front door open. Gil was home, finally. He came bursting into their loft and bounded down the stairs into the kitchen.
Sara hadn't moved from the stool, her very pregnant stomach bulged. He kissed her.
"I love tasting you when you're eating strawberries."
She moved to the cabinet, grabbed the dipping chocolate, a container of strawberries and headed to the bedroom.
"You coming?" She purred.
He smirked.
"I'm sure I will," his voice husky with desire.
"Gil!" As she tried to wrestle him awake. "Gil!"
"Mom, I'll get up in a while, I promise," rolling over, he clutched the pillow tighter.
Sara looked at her boyish looking, sleeping, nude husband, mirth spilling from every pore of her body, before another wave of pain rocked through her frame.
She screamed in agony.
One eye opened, "Sara, what's…," the other blue eye joined in horror, seeing the woman he loved clutching her prominent abdomen.
"Is it time?" He looked at her with something akin to guilt.
She smiled at his concern, "Call the hospital. Contractions two minutes apart."
Dr. Barbara Hanagan pulled out the baby and cut the umbilical cord.
The mother and father stared speechless as the nurses cleaned, checked neurological responses, and weighted the squalling child.
"Seven pound, four and a half ounces, 21 inches long. Positive Babinsky. Loud and clear lungs." The nurse told the doctor and the parents.
After wrapping the new-born into a blanket, the nurse handed the child to his father.
Gil Grissom beamed, cradling the boy to his chest.
Sara lay exhausted on the birthing table as the doctor completed several episiotomy stitches.
Sara reached for her son, "Hello, Gilbert, Jr."
Ecklie sat reading the 'Sun' in his office. He had finished the news and sports sections, he scanned the entertainment section because he promised his wife he would take her to a show. He was about to fold the newspaper up when he saw:
Dr. and Mrs. Gilbert A. Grissom, of Las Vegas announce the birth
of their first child: Gilbert Arthur Grissom, Jr. born Sunday, July 6th,
2008 at Desert Palm Hospital. Both parents are employed by the
Clark County Sheriff's Department.
Conrad tore the announcement out of the paper and tacked it up on his bulletin board, smiling.
