Chapter 9

"Hey Honey" Sara called out as she closed the front door and kicked off her shoes. "Catherine?" she continued, poking her head round the sitting room door, then into the kitchen quickly surveying the garden in an attempt to find her blonde lover.

Walking upstairs she heard the faint sound of the radio coming from the babies room. She quietly opened the door to see Catherine perched on a stool painting ducks around the edge of the room. Wearing a dark blue boiler suit, similar to those they wore in the lab, and a tight white t-shirt that just covers her heavily pregnant tummy. Leaning against the door frame the brunette ran her eyes up and down the older woman's glowing form, with her hair pulled up into a messy bun in Sara's eyes she had never looked hotter. Catherine was softly singing to the song that was playing on the radio

Sara recognised the song instantly and began to move towards the blonde as she continued to sing, walking behind her the younger women joined in for the chorus. Wrapping her arms around Catherine she pressed soft kisses along her neck.

"mmm hey baby," Catherine purred "how was your day?"

"It was ok, I missed you though" Sara moved so that the blonde was now sitting on her lap on the stool. "The first day of you not being there and its horrible, I don't know how I'm going to cope for seven months" she continued kissing Catherine's shoulder and arm. Catherine had gone on maternity leave yesterday, she was due in 2 months and they were both beginning to get everything ready for the baby to arrive.

They had involved Lindsay in every stage of the pregnancy letting her come to scans and be included in choosing a list of names. They had decided not to find out the sex of the baby until the birth so the nursery and all the accessories we in pale green or yellow. They were all so excited about their new arrival but these last two months were going to be busy, the baby shower was planned for two weeks time and Catherine wanted to have dinner with all their friends before she had the baby.

"You will be fine Sara, I'll cut you a deal, if you manage to get home early after each shift I will be waiting with a treat for you!" Catherine whispered with a smirk on her face.

"Ooo I like the sound of that, do you think we can start today?" Sara's eyes widened and them grinned.

"I am sure we can arrange something" the blonde replied.

"Great, I'll go grab some breakfast, you finish up here and I will be ready!" the younger women captured Catherine lips in a powerful kiss before running down the stairs to the kitchen.

As she was waiting for the toast to pop up Sara ran her fingers over the scan of the baby they had suck to the fridge, she couldn't wait to meet her baby and for her family to be complete. The toast popped up and the brunette began to walk towards the side when she heard a crash down the stairs.

Immediately dropping the knife in her hand she cried out and ran towards the stairs to see Catherine at the bottom.

"Cath, honey, wake up, CATHERINE!!" tears were dropping down Sara's cheeks as she reached for her phone, wiping blood from Catherine's cheek at the same time. Dialling 911 the brunette attempted to get her lover into the recovering position, she pulled the blonde's hand under her chin and then placed her hand on the baby bump.

"Please God let them both be OK, please, please" tears were now flooding down Sara's cheeks. "Hello, yea I need an ambulance, my, my girlfriend has fallen down the stairs, she is 7 months pregnant!" Sara listened as the operator explained what to do and then after give them the address she hung up and ran to get some towels from the laundry.

"Cath, honey, I need to know if you can hear me. Catherine, you cant do this to me, or Lindsay, you need to wake up." Sara laid her head on Catherine's chest and waited for the ambulance to arrive.
