Early the next morning Sara and Nick woke to hammering at the door, groaning Nick stretched and stood up pulled on a T shirt and sweatpants and stumbled towards the door. The hammering got louder and louder as Nick got closer; Nick rolled his eyes and tried to find the key for the door.
"Just a minute, oh where is that key?" Nick asked himself the hammering getting louder "Calm down!"
"Nicky open the door I really need to pee!" Catherine groaned
"I'm trying to find the key!" Nick replied looking through a drawer "Ah ha, found it!"
"Good! Well get a move on!" Catherine groaned louder "Hurry up Nicky!"
"Who is that at this time in the morning?" Sara asked yawning and stretching
"It is Cath wanting to use the bathroom!" Nick replied walking towards the door "Cath you still there?"
"Yes" Catherine whimpered "Oh come on I am dancing here and not how I used to all those years ago!"
"I would hope not!" Sara said "Would give Harold a heart attack!"
"Will you two shut up and let me in?" Catherine moaned "Please I'm on my hands and knees begging you!"
"Ok calm down Catherine!" Nick replied opening the door and jumping back as Catherine ran into the house "Good morning to you too"
Sara walked over to the front door and burst out laughing as she saw Jim, Warrick and Greg lying on top of Nick and Sara's Denali's, walking out on to the driveway Sara stopped first at Warrick laying on top of her car and shook him, Warrick slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Sara before hopping down and entering the house. Sara then walked over to Nick's car and first went up to Jim and shook him.
"Jim wake up, go in the house freshen up and get some coffee!" Sara instructed receiving a nod "Oh Greg time to get up!"
"I don't want to get up; I have no clothes on mommy!" Greg whined still asleep "Everyone will see my pee pee!"
"Greg? No one will see your pee pee!" Sara replied "You happen to be asleep on top of Nick's car in the middle of our driveway, so GET UP!"
"Morning Sara, whoa nice nightwear!" Greg exclaimed "You wear bunny slippers?"
"Yes I wear Bunny slippers; do you have a problem with that?" Sara enquired looking directly at Greg
"No way, makes you look hot!" Greg replied winking who then leant forward to Sara and whispered "Don't tell Nicky I said that, be our secret ok?"
Greg jumped down from the car and growled at Sara before running into the house followed by Sara who was shaking her head. When Sara got into the living room she found Greg being strangled by Catherine and Jim, Warrick and Nick talking.
"Cath why are you killing Sanders?" Sara enquired
"I heard what he said; I was stood at the front door at the time!" Catherine replied still with her hands around Greg's neck "Does he have a death wish?"
"Most probably, Cath kill him quietly and with no mess just cleaned this room yesterday!" Sara replied walking down the hall to the bedroom
"That hurt Sar!" Greg said free from Catherine's grasp "So what is for breakfast?"
"How can you be hungry?" Catherine asked
"Well it is eight in the morning and I am Greg I'm always hungry!" Greg replied
"Wow Greg actually made an intellectual comment, give the boy a cake!" Jim said sarcastically
"Oh can I? Please!" Greg begged pouting "When will Faith be up?"
"Not for a while yet, and Greg you can not have a cake for breakfast!" Nick replied "It will spoil your appetite for breakfast"
"Which is?" Greg enquired stroking his stomach "The Gregster is hungry!"
"When are you never hungry?" Warrick remarked "Anyone for coffee?"
Everyone nodded and walked into the spacious kitchen, Catherine and Warrick sat around the kitchen island, while Jim and Greg took two chairs at the table, Nick prepared the coffee pot and turned towards the kettle for Sara to have a cup of tea, herbal or ordinary, a few minutes later Sara walked into the kitchen and up to the fridge to find something to eat for breakfast.
"Oh guys anyone want pancakes?" Sara enquired receiving nods from everyone in the kitchen "Ok pancakes it is!"
Sara got on with making her friends pancakes, making extra for Greg you kept begging for extra as he was hungry. Once the pancakes were prepared Sara placed a plate in front of each of her friends and wet to make herself green tea.
"I hope you four have brought some different clothing for the party, you have been sleeping ruff on top of our cars all night!" Sara remarked "Which still shocks me, you actually stayed out there all night because you wanted to know...never mind!"
"Oh yea I forgot about that, so what you having?" Catherine asked grinning
"Forgot I mentioned it, just go back to eating your pancakes!" Sara replied "Catherine stop looking at me like that I will not tell you till later!"
"Oh Sara come on please, have I ever begged you this much for any information before?" Catherine asked batting her eyelids pleading to know
"No" Sara replied sighing knowing she was defeated "Ok fine but you have to promise not to tell Faith as soon as you see her!"
"Yea fine I won't tell and either will these guys!" Catherine replied pointing to Jim, Warrick and Greg who nodded in agreement "So? What are you having?"
"We are having a boy and girl" Sara replied smiling "We haven't got any names yet but we still have time yet!"
"Twins? A Boy and girl means twins doesn't it?" Greg asked
"Yes Greg" Sara replied rolling her eyes before almost being knocked over backwards by Catherine "Whoa the Cath!"
"Sorry I'm just so excited to new little Sidle's running around!" Catherine said happily clapping her hands
"It will be Stokes-Sidle!" Sara informed the gang "If Nick is going to be their daddy I want them to have his last name in there?"
"What about Grissom?" Greg asked innocently
"What about him Greg? Grissom has been back at the lab six weeks and not once asked me if I'm ok!" Sara explained "So as far as I'm concerned he has no right towards these babies"
Everyone nodded and sat in the living room for a few hours before everyone got up and helped Sara and Nick prepare for Faith's party, once all the decorations were put up and all her presents set out on the floor, Catherine, Jim, Warrick and Greg each took turns in the shower and to change into the clothes they so cleverly brought with them.

It was now mid day and Faith had been up two hours and was already bugging Catherine to plait her hair and then take her to go pick her big cousin up, Sara smiled at how much Faith loved the team and walked over to Catherine who was trying to get an excited Faith to sit still for five minutes to do her hair.
"Faith honey, if you want your Aunt Catherine to do your hair you will have to sit still for five minutes!" Sara said playing with Faith's ears
"Ok mommy" Faith replied hugging Sara's arm "Mommy? Can I go with Aunt Catherine to go fetch Lindsay?"
"Sure thing Rugrat" Sara replied "What?"
"Mommy you have Jello on your face!" Faith said giggling "Looks funny mommy"
"GREG?" Sara shouted "Did you put Jello on my face?"
"Uhh yes, sorry Sar it makes you look cute!" Greg replied "Not that you didn't look cute before, uhh shutting up now before Nick hurts me!"
"Wise decision!" Jim said "Don't go hitting on my Niece Greg!"
"Yes Jim" Greg replied quietly "So who else are we waiting for? You got many friends coming over Faith?"
"Some but not many, I want this more to be a family party but Daddy insisted I invited some friends!" Faith replied shrugging her shoulders "So Chelsea, Rhiannon and Juliet are coming, they are my three best friends, oh and Greg Juliet likes you!"
"Who doesn't?" Greg said puffing out his chest
"Me!" Catherine said "Greg Juliet is seven years old!"
"Ahh point taken" Greg replied "I will avoid Juliet!"
"Your funny Uncle Greg!" Faith said giggling "All done Aunt Catherine?"
"Yea we sure are, go get your coat and shoes and meet me at your Daddies car!" Catherine said to faith as she run away "Oh Nick can I borrow your car?"
"Do I get the choice?" Nick asked handing his keys to Catherine
"Be back soon, behave Greg!" Catherine said as she went out the door followed by Faith waving at everyone
"I always behave" Greg protested folding his arms across his chest
Sara who was drinking some Apple juice at the time coughed and snorted the juice up her nose, causing her to laugh and Jim to pat her on the back.
"Seriously Greg you never behave" Sara said in between gasps for air
Meanwhile in the car Catherine was driving to her sister, Nancy's house to go pick up Lindsay, Faith was sat in her car seat in the back smiling at her reflection in the window.
"Faith what do you want a baby brother or sister?" Catherine asked the seven year old
"Too be honest I don't know what I want" Faith replied playing with a strand on her hair "I just want Daddy and Mommy to be happy!"
"Faith why do you call Sara Mommy?" Catherine asked hoping Faith would not get upset by the question
"Well since my real mommy left, Sara has been my Mommy!" Faith replied looking out the window "I was four years old when Mommy left, why did she leave us Aunt Catherine?"
"I wish I knew Princess, I really wish I did!" Catherine replied noticing Faith's sad eyes "So Sara tells me you have a puppy, what's it's name?"
"Oh wow, her name is Willow and she is beautiful!" Faith replied happy again "I will show her to everyone when we get back, Mommy and Daddy have a puppy each too, Mommy's puppy is called Bailey and Daddies is called Harley, Harley is so tiny but he is so cute, but don't tell Daddy or Willow that I said that!"
Catherine laughed and nodded and pulled into her sister's driveway to find Lindsay on the front step jumping up and down while her Nephew Jeremy was sulking in the corner, Catherine sighed and got out of the car and helped Faith out, who then ran up to her cousin.
"Hey Lindsay, you ready to come to my party?" Faith asked looking at Lindsay then Jeremy "Jeremy why do you look so upset?"
"It doesn't matter Faith, honest!" Jeremy replied
"Oh? Jeremy why don't you come to the party too!" Faith asked "Please for me"
"I don't have a present for you!" Jeremy replied sighing
"You don't need to bring a present silly, please J!" Faith pleaded noticing Nancy out of the corner of her eye "Nancy please can Jeremy come to my birthday party?"
"Sure he can, why don't you want to go Jeremy?" Nancy asked her son who just shrugged his shoulders
"Aunt Nancy he says he doesn't want to go because he hasn't brought Faith a birthday present!" Lindsay told her Aunt "Silly really"
"Jeremy come with me a minute" Nancy asked her fourteen year old son
Jeremy followed his mom into the house leaving Lindsay, Faith and Catherine on the front porch, Lindsay looked over at her mom and giggled.
"Mom did you sleep on Uncle Nick's driveway all night?" Lindsay asked laughing at her mom nodded
"You slept on our driveway? Oh your silly Aunt Catherine you could have slept in my room with me!" Faith said laughing "You really are silly Aunt Catherine"
"Go sit in the car girls, while I wait for Jeremy and Nancy to return" Catherine requested smiling as both girls got in the car "Oh here you are? You coming with us then J?"
"Yea I sure am, thanks to mom reminding me of all my savings I have I'm going to give Faith some money to buy whatever she wants" Jeremy replied running towards the car
"Good idea Nance" Catherine said hugging her little sister "I know what it is like to live with a moody teenager, what time should I bring him home?"
"Don't worry about the time as long as he's happy I'm happy, oh and give a big birthday hug to Faith for me!" Nancy asked walking into the house
Catherine walked up to her car to hear all three kids laughing and Jeremy smiling once again, Catherine sat down in the car and looked through the mirror to find six pairs of eyes staring at her.
"Ok what is with you three?" Catherine enquired worried when all three burst out laughing "Ok we are not moving until you tell me what is so funny!"
"Mom did you fall to sleep next to Greg last night?" Lindsay asked laughing loudly
"Aunt Catherine you have a bald patch!" Jeremy said grinning "I think Greg got you big time?"
"I am going to kill Sanders!" Catherine groaned "Is it that bad?"
"Well I wouldn't tie your hair up for a while Aunt Catherine" Faith explained "Wow how did I miss that earlier, got to give Greg they fingers up he is brave and also stupid!"
Catherine pulled out of her sister driveway and back across town to Nick and Sara's house, while travelling back Faith got Lindsay and Jeremy to play I spy, which surprisingly enough to Catherine both teens played.
Csicsicsicsicsicsicsicsicsicsicsi
Catherine pulled back into Nick's driveway ten minutes later and Faith, Lindsay and Jeremy ran into the house, Catherine locked the car and went into the house to find, Dr Robbins, Mandy, Wendy, Hodges and Ecklie standing in the garden with a beer in their hands and the kids on the bouncy castle giggling.
"I see you brought Jeremy, who asked who?" Nick enquired
"Faith asked Nancy, when we pulled into the driveway Lindsay was so excited and J was upset!" Catherine explained "Faith then saw Nancy and begged for Jeremy to come along and ever since those three have been joint at the hip, have Chelsea, Rhiannon and Juliet arrived?"
"Yea they are all on the bouncy castle with...Greg!" Nick said shaking his head "How old is Sanders again?"
"I think Greg is thirty, but I could be wrong! Hey Catherine" Sara replied waving at Catherine "Come into the garden, you can meet the three puppies"
"Oh you mean Willow, Harley and Bailey?" Catherine asked knowing the answer "Already know their names Faith told me"
"Oh well the one with Pink bows is Willow, and the one with a white patch on his left eye is Bailey and the small one who is chewing Warrick's shoe is Harley"
"Oh all cute I like Willow a lot!" Catherine said picking up Willow and ticking her belly getting a lick on the hand as a thank you "Warrick your shoe is attracting some attention"
Warrick looked down and picked Harley up and tickled him causing Harley to bark and Willow and Bailey to do the same, eventually after the kids had enough on the bouncy castle everyone went inside so that Faith could open her birthday presents. An hour later and on the very last present Faith looked around and found at least about twenty five different toys, various clothes and her favourite a baby that she could dress and mother all herself, from Sara. Faith hugged Sara and went about playing with her toys waving Chelsea, Rhiannon, Juliet, Jeremy and Lindsay to join her. While Faith was playing Sara went to the bedroom to fetch the last present, the present that was going to give Faith the clue about her baby brother and sister.
"Faith got one more present for you; want to come open it up?" Sara asked the grass chocolate cake covered seven year old
"Do I ever? Oh what is it?" Faith asked carefully climbing onto Sara's knees opening her present pulling out the two items of clothing "A Yellow Sun dress and Jeans and T shirt, this is a clue for something isn't it?"
Sara only nodded, watching as Faith stuck her tongue out in concentration, thinking about the clue she had been giving, a few minutes later as if the tiny light bulb above her head had turned on Faith turned to Sara.
"I'm going to have a baby brother and sister aren't I?" Faith asked
"Yes that is correct" Sara replied "You happy?"
"Happy? I am excited beyond belief, two of them a little girl who I can teach things too and a boy who can teach me to play soccer!" Faith said in one breath "Oh this is so good, the best birthday surprise ever, uhh no offense guys!"
"I am glad your happy, your Daddy wanted to tell you yesterday, but I wanted to surprise you today" Sara explained stopping when she was hugged tightly by Faith
"Mommy can I name them?" Faith asked looking into Sara's eyes "Please?"
"Yea sure, of course you can! Do you know anything right now?" Sara enquired receiving a nod of the head "Ok Rugrat tell me"
"Well for the boy I would like Tyler James Nicholas and for the girl Sidney Catherine Elise!" Faith announced looking at everyone especially Jim and Catherine "Do you like them?"
"Missy I adore them, Tj and Sid!" Sara said pulling Faith into her lap more "Jim, Cath you can move now!"
"Yes well I'm in shock Sara; I just don't know what to say!" Jim mumbled
"Makes a first!" Greg said ducking when Jim threw a pillow at him
Everyone burst out laughing as Greg ran out into the garden and onto the bouncy castle, while Jim grabbed a chair and placed it just outside the bouncy castle with a beer in hand watching Greg bounce, the rest of the gang knew that it was going to be a long night so settled down in front of the TV.
