Taking a deep breathe she whispered, "I went to the doctor's office. Right before I fell and hit my head. He gave me some good news. Well, at least I think it's good news."
Nick smiled and said, "What did he say?"
Smiling she whispered, ""Well, it seems that I'm not just having a Peanut."
"What?"
"I'm having Peanuts."
Nick looked at her and suddenly, the realization hit him. He whispered softly, "Twins?"
She nodded slowly and watched as a smile lit up his face, "It seems that one was hiding behind the other. They are identical. I even found out their sex."
"You did? I would've thought you'd want to be surprised."
She laughed and said, "I hate surprises, but it's fun watching Lindsay call it Peanut. I might keep her in the dark for awhile."
Nick laughed and said, "So, what are we having?"
Catherine smiled and said, "The doctor said that we are having two little boys."
"Boys? Is he sure?"
Catherine nodded and said, "He's positive."
Catherine watched as Nick srood up and kissed her softly on the lips. He sat on the bed and whispered, "I love you Catherine Willows." He got up and walked to the coat that he'd thrown on the chair in the room. He fished around in the pocket and pulled out a small box. He walked over to her and knelt down. He whispered softly, "Will you marry me?"
Catherine felt the tears fill her eyes. She dreamed of this moment for so long. She nodded and whispered, "Yes."
They had to laugh when they heard, "Yes!!"
Catherine looked up and said, "I take it you approve?"
Lindsay laughed and said, "Duh!! I think it's awesome!!"
Smiling, Catherine said, "Then your really going to think this is awesome. I found out that I'm having twins."
"No way! Your kidding?!! Two Peanuts?! What are they?"
"Babies! I'm not kidding."
"I know that they are babies mother! Boys or girls."
"Yes!"
"Which is it? Boys or girls? Or one of each?"
"No."
"Are you going to tell me if I'm gonna have a brother or sister or two of each!"
Catherine and Nick laughed and finally said, "Boys."
"Boys? Cool."
"You're happy?"
Lindsay nodded and said, "Sure. I'm still the only girl in the family. That's pretty cool."
Nick smiled and watched as Lindsay leaned down to hug Catherine. Then she did something that she'd never done before. She stood up and hugged him. Nick was speechless as Lindsay walked out of the room. She was going back downstairs to buy something for the twins.
Nick smiled and said, "I think she's happy."
"You think?"
Before they could say anything else, the were interrupted when Grissom and Sara walked into the hospital room. Sara looked at Nick and said, "You're back!!"
Nick smiled and said, "Yep. I'm moving back next month."
Grissom looked from Catherine to Nick and back again. He smiled and said, "I guess he knows about the baby."
Catherine smiled and said, "Yeah. He also knows that I'm having twins."
Sara smiled brightly and said, "Twins!!?"
Grissom laughed and said, "Congratulations!!"
Catherine and Nick smiled and said, "Thanks!"
Catherine looked at Nick and said, "I'm going to have to tell Ecklie that I'm starting my leave tonight."
Sara smiled and said, "I'll handle that for you."
Catherine looked at Sara and said, "I'd heard that you were coming back. I never thought Ecklie would want you back."
"Stranger things have happened."
They talked for a few more minutes. Catherine yawned and said, "I'm exhausted."
Sara and Grissom smiled and Sara said, "I'll call you tomorrow. I wanted to talk to you about something."
Catherine nodded and said, "I'll call you when I leave here."
Catherine and Nick watched as Sara and Grissom left the room. Catherine laid her head back and smiled as she drifted off to sleep.....
