Chapter 14: Precious Moments

9 Months later

Sara and Grissom were in the hospital room getting ready to have the baby any hour now, while Isabella was with Thomas and Aubrey so she wouldn't be bored waiting.

Grissom fixes the pillows behind her head to make her comfortable then looks down, puts his hand on her cheek and asked. "You comfortable?"

Sara sighed. "As comfortable as I can be." He nodded then she sighed again and continued. "I just can't wait to get out of bed." For the last few months of her pregnancy she had been strictly on bed rest and was ordered to take it easy, and for someone who liked to be active she didn't like it but for the sake of this child she did it without minimal complaint.

He rubs his thumb up and down her cheek and said with sympathy. "I know honey, we are almost there."

She nodded, takes his hand and kissed the front of it then looked into his sparking blue eyes and just smiled at him.

He smiles back as he brings the chair closer to the bed then he sits down, puts his free hand on her stomach and feels a little kick. "It's almost time little one." Sara just watches him for a minute then clears her throat, he looks at her and asked. "What's wrong?"

She swallowed and said. "We need to talk."

"Ok. About what?"

She takes a moment then said. "Grissom if something goe..."

He cuts her off. "Sara..."

She cuts him off. "Please just listen." He sighed then nodded and she continued. "If something goes wrong and there is a choice I want you to choose this baby, ok?"

Grissom shake his head and replied. "It won't come to that." Then he looked down at her stomach. He couldn't even imagine making a choice like that.

She squeezed his hand and said. "Griss look at me." He took a few minutes then did what she asked and she continued. "Promise me."

He looks at her sadly and asked with emotion. "Do you realize what you're asking me to do?"

She nodded with tears in her eyes and replied. "I do and I know chosing between our child and me is very hard for you to do but you have to, so promise me."

He removes his hand from her stomach and runs it down his face, sighed, stood up, gets to the head of the bed, puts his hand on her cheek, looks into her eyes, which both are showing a lot of emotion in them then he nods and said. "Ok. I promise Sara the baby is the first priority."

She knew how hard it was for him to say that because if it was reversed it would kill her to make that kind of choice too.

He leans down and kisses her softly on the lips then as he pulled back the hospital door opens. Grissom turns around and sees the middle-aged doctor come in.
He smiles at the couple and walked up to the end of the bed then asked. "How is the mother to be?"

Sara smiles and said. "Fine but ready for this be over."

The doctor nodded in understanding then said. "I need to check how far along you are." She nodded and Grissom slips his fingers through hers and they just look at each other while the doctor was busy.

A few minutes later as he was taking his gloves off he said. "Just a little big longer."

Sara sighed but nodded then the doctor checked the machines, wrote down the information then left the room while Grissom sits back down on the chair still holding her hand. They look back at each other and started having a little small talk, continuing to think positive.

A few hours later they were in the delivery room and things had started out perfect then toward the end of the delivery something happened, the machines started going crazy and the doctor told Grissom he had to leave the room.

Grissom and Sara looked at each other and she pleaded with her eyes, he nodded and told the doctor what him and Sara talked about then as he was walking out of the room they mentioned Sara's name and the word distress then the machines were going off again. He wanted to turn back around but he didn't want to be in the way because time was of the essence.

Once he was in the hall he started to pace with worry then he sat down, puts his hands together, bends his head down, closed his eye as his mind took him to three of his favorite moments from the past 9 months.

Flashback

Grissom sits down in the seats next to Sara after handing her a bottle of water she smiles and said "Thank you." He nodded with a smile and after she takes a drink she slips her fingers through his and asked. "You a little anxious?"

He watches his daughter reading a book in the chairs across from theirs and said. "Yeah but hearing our child's heartbeat for the first time is going to be pretty amazing."

She nods and replied. "It really will be babe."

He looks at her and smiles then their moment was interrupted when the head nurse walked into he waiting area and said. "Sara Grissom."

Sara stands up, along with Grissom and said. "Yeah."

The blond smiled and said. "Follow me." Sara nodded and after getting Isabella's attention she gets up too and the three of them walk to the room.

Once they were in the room the nurse checked her blood pressure and her weight and after she wrote it down on her chart she said. "The doctor will be in shortly."

Sara nodded and the nurse turned and left the room.

A few minutes later the doctor came in, smiled at the family and said. "Now lets hear the heartbeat in this little one." They all smiled and as the doctor was setting up the equipment, Grissom brings Isabella over to him and sits her on his lap then took his wife's hand.

A few seconds later the middle-aged doctor asked. "You ready?"

Sara smiled and replied. "More than ready?"

He smiled nodded then a few more seconds they hear a sound and Grissom mentally gasped then said with amazement. "That's it. That's our baby."

Sara watched how his face turned into an awe expression and she started to have tears, she even saw how Isabella was amazed by it too.

Grissom looked at Sara, brings her hand up to his lips and kissed it then mouthed. 'I love you.'

She squeezed his hand and mouthed back. 'I love you too.'

They all continue to listen to their newest member with love filling inside of all of them every second.

Sara was laying on the couch watching a movie when the front door opened and her daughter's voice came into the living room. "Hi mommy."

She smiled at her daughter and said. "Hi baby, come give me a hug." Isabella nodded and walked up to the couch and gave her a hug then Sara asked. "How was your last day?" This was her last day of school before winter break.

Isabella smiled and after petting Hank, who had walked up to them, answered. "It was fun Aunt Aubrey allowed us to have a small party."

"Wow that's pretty special."

She nodded then said. "Can I go play now?"

"Go ahead but keep it down ok?"

"Alright mommy." Isabella kissed her mother's cheek then walked toward her room with her backpack, and Hank behind her.

When she was out of the room Sara looks at her husband and said. "Thank you for picking her up."

He smiles, lifts her feet up, sits down, puts her feet on his lap and said. "It's no problem, I let the class out early and they loved it."

She chuckled and replied. "I bet."

He chuckles too then asked. "How was your day honey?"

She sighed and said. "It was fine, but we are going to have to rent or buy more movies if I am to remain here for the rest of the pregnancy."

He looks at her with sympathy, because of her age the doctors advised her to stop working and since she promised her husband that she would listen to them before they even got pregnant she did it but she would have done it anyways because this was her baby and she would do anything to not risk his or her life.

He squeezes her hand and said. "I'm sorry."

Sara shakes her head and replied. "Don't be, we knew it would happen and plus in the end it will be worth it."

He nodded with a smile then released her hand and went through the mail, raising an eyebrow at the last envelope that he came across. She looks at him and asked. "What?"

He hands it to her and when she saw the return address she smiled and after she opened it she pulled out a card that was red and had Santa and reindeer's with the words Marry Christmas on it. She showed it to Grissom and he nodded with a smile then Sara opened the card and moved the picture and gift card that was in it and read the words out loud so Grissom could hear "Here is a thank you gift for taking care of the best little boy anybody could ask for."

She looked at the picture, turned it over and read on the bottom:
Matthew 10 months old

Sara turned the picture back and saw little Matthew was wearing a red shirt and pants with reindeer's on them and a santa hat with a big smile. Sara smiles at it and said. "He is still a cutie."

She hands him the picture, he took it, looked at it then as he was about to say something he hears an "OW." from Sara. He looks over at her and asked. "Sara? you ok?"

She smiled. "Give me your hand." He moves his hand to her and she grabs it then puts it on a spot on her stomach. A few seconds later she felt it again, a kick.

Sara watched Grissom's face turn into a smile and asked. "Is this the first kick?"

Sara nodded and replied. "Yes."

They chuckled as another kick came then he called Isabella's name. She came running into the living room and asked. "yeah dad?"

"Come here butterfly."

She did what she was told and Sara took her little girl's hand and Grissom moves his hand so Isabella could feel. Once Isabella's hand was on the spot and after a few seconds went by another kick came and she gets wide-eyed and asked. "What was that mommy?"

Sara smiled and said. "That was a kick honey."

"Wow, did I do that too?"

"Yes baby you did, especially when I was talking to you, you were like my little..."

Isabella cuts her off. "Butterfly?"

Sara chuckled and replied. "You better believe it." Isabella smiled and after another kick Isabella kissed her parents then turned and went back to her room with a smile.

They watched her walk away then Grissom looks back at the picture of baby Mathew and said. "I guess since this little guy helped us make a decision about having a baby it was only fitting that this showed up on the same day as our little one kicked for the first time."

Sara nodded and replied. "I agree."

He smiles then sat the mail and the picture on the end table then got comfortable laying next to her on the couch. He kissed her head and puts his hand on her stomach again and they just laid there enjoying the feel of the little bump hitting their hand, a sign that their little one was growing and doing well.

Grissom and Sara were on their way to the doctor's office to find out if they are having a boy or girl. They went back and forth on whether they would like to know but in the end they chose to find out.

Sara sighed as she ended her phone call and he speaks. "She sad?"

Isabella had gotten a cold so Thomas and Aubrey was taking care of her while they went to the doctor's office but she was upset that she didn't get to know if it was boy or girl.

Sara nodded and replied. "Yeah but I promised before we leave the doctor's office she will know."

Grissom chuckled with a nod.

20 minutes later and they were sitting in one of the rooms waiting for the doctor.

She was laying down and he was sitting in the chair holding her hand. She looked at him and asked. "Grissom what do you want? A boy or girl?"

They haven't really talked about it because they were just amazed that they were pregnant again but now that they got to this point she was curious on what he thought.

He smiles and said. "I can see us having a boy, it would nice in the household to have a boy." Sara chuckled then he continued. "But I also couldn't imagine having it better than another beautiful girl that I get to protect, so a girl sounds just as nice."

"So you could go either way?"

He nods, leans down, kissed her temple and said. "Yes. I'll love any baby that we have. What about you?"

She was about to open her mouth when the doctor walked into the room, he smiled at them and asked. "So are we ready to see what you guys are having or have you changed your mind?"

Sara shook her head and replied. "We would like to know."

The doctor nodded and set up the equipment then a few minutes later they were checking out the baby on the screen and the happy parents smiled.

Then the doctors said "Well look here I believe you two got yourselves a little..."

Grissom cuts him off. "Girl."

The doctor nodded while Sara turned her head to look at her husband and once again the face she loved seeing these last few months was there it was the look of awe, devotion and love in his eyes.

He somehow tore his eyes away from the screen to look at his wife and whispered with emotion. "Another girl."

She smiles, puts her hand on his cheek and said with her own emotions. "Yes another girl, you happy?"

He smiles, leans down and kisses her softly then pulls back and said. "Very happy."

She looks back at the screen and said. "Me too."

He squeezed her hand and he goes back to looking at the screen and nothing else was said, both happy that their dream was coming closer each minute.

End of flashback

He was brought back to the present when he heard his name. He looks to his left and sees Catherine standing there and he looked a little confused, she sits down and said. "You called me remember?"

He sighed then nodded. He couldn't think straight the last hour so he actually did forget that he had called her. He looked back down on the floor and said. "We told each other that nothing was going to happen, that she and the baby was going to come out of this."

She puts her hand on his arm and said. "They will, there is no way that Sara is ever going to give up without a fight and that little girl of yours have Grissom and Sidle genes, two of the most stubborn people I know. You're not leaving this hospital without either one of them."

He looks at her with his eyes watering and spoke with a cracked voice. "I hope your right Catherine because I don't know how I will survive if I lost them."

She continues to look at him and was about to talk when his attention turned from her face to over her shoulder so she looked back and saw the doctor walking up to them. Grissom stood up and walked the rest of the way to him and asked. "How are they?"

The doctor stopped and he said. "They are resting and fine."

He breathed a sigh in relief and his heart rate was slowing down then he looked back toward Catherine with a smile and she smiled with a sigh of relief too then Grissom looked back at the doctor held out his hand and said. "Thank you."

He nodded with a smile and said. "You are welcome. You can see Sara and the nurse will bring your daughter to you later, congratulations." Grissom nodded with a smile and after another thank you the doctor turned and left to go check on his other patients.

With his back still turned away from Catherine he wiped a few tears away. Catherine walks up to him as he turned to her and he said. "Sorry if I wasted your time."

She shook her head, puts her hand on his shoulder and said. "Being here for you no matter how long we had to wait is never a waste of time, I'm here for you day or night you know that."

He nodded and replied. "Thank you Catherine."

She smiled then brings him in a hug and he hugs her back then they pull back and she said. "I'll call everybody and let them know and tell them to come later tonight so you can have time. Do you want Isabella to be here?"

Grissom nodded and replied. "Yeah in a few hours. I am sure she is dying to see her little sister."

Catherine nodded and responded. "Ok, I'll see you later then." Grissom nodded back and after one more hug and goodbye she turned and walked away.

He does another sigh of relief then walked to Sara's room, thankful that they dogged that bullet and everything was going to be ok now.

A few hours later Grissom was standing up, holding his newborn daughter, looking at her and talking to her then he looked at the bed and sees Sara stirring so he walks up to her and started coaxing her to wakefulness. "Sara honey, somebody wants to see her mommy."

Sara opened her eyes but before she looked to the left to see Grissom standing there with the baby she gets wide-eyed and was about to panic. "Gris..."

He cuts her off. "Look, Honey."

She finally looked to the left and sees Grissom standing there with a bundle in a pink blanket, she smiled in relief and asked. "Is she ok?"

Grissom smiled and replied. "She is perfect just like her mother."

Sara smiled as she gingerly sits up in bed and asked. "Can I see her."

"Of course."

Sara holds out her arms and Grissom transfers the baby to her, which she was about to become fussy because she was out of her father's protective embrace but Sara started speaking to her. "Hi baby, Its ok I am your mommy." Then their daughter quieted right down after hearing her mother's voice.

Grissom sits down on the edge of the bed, looked at his wife, smiled at them then said. "Thank you for everything you have given me."

She looks at him, smiled and said. "You are very welcome but I couldn't do it without you."

He smiled and they both go back to looking at their perfect daughter then he cleared his throat and asked. "So do you a name for this little one?"

Throughout the whole nine months they went back and forth on names even before they found out they were having a daughter and they hadn't picked out a name yet.

Sara looked at her little one and replied. "I do." Then she looked at her husband and continued. "Holly Olivia Grissom."

He tested that name out then smiled and said. "I like it." Then he leans down toward his newborn, kissed her head and said. "Ok do you hear that? Your name is Holly to everybody else but to me you're my little lady bug." He kissed her head one more time and said. "I love you."

He sits up and while he was looking at her some more then the hospital door opens and they both turned their heads toward that direction and smiles at the little girl standing there and Grissom said. "Come here butterfly you need to say hi to your little sister, Holly."

Isabella smiled and ran up to him, he picks her up with a small grunt and sets her on his lap then holds her while Isabella said. "She is pretty."

The parents smiled and Grissom speaks after kissing her head. "She is, just like you and your mother." Isabella smiled then started talking to her, telling her how much she is going to teach her and what she is allowed to touch or not, while Sara and Grissom looked at each other with smiles on their faces and love in their eyes, thankful that today ended like it did and not the nightmare it almost was and happy their family felt complete now.
