Yeah, I managed to get it up a lot quicker than I expected. Will try to post one every other day for about the next 3/4 chapters as soon as I get an answer from someone. They know who they are.

Sara slept for about another half hour. By this stage the exhaustion that still remained could be fought, nothing was going to keep her from seeing her children any longer. Grissom felt her moving again, he looked down at her to find her face upturned and watching him. He leaned down and kissed her. "Would you like to see your daughters?"

She didn't trust her mouth to form proper words and so only nodded. Grissom smiled at her reaction even more than he had been smiling before. He handed Sara her first-born child. "She's looks like her mother."

Sara looked down awe-struck to find a pair of large brown eyes staring up at her, almost identical to her own. She gingerly touched the baby's hair in a gesture surprisingly similar to that of Grissom, even though she had not seen him do it. Sara just stared down at the child and held her close. "I can't believe you came out of me." She muttered softly. Suddenly a great pain came over her face. Grissom saw it and questioned her, even though she still looked at the child in her arms.

"Sara? Honey, what's wrong?"

"Just hormones. And dreams."

"Sweetie, I understand the hormones. The dreams your going to have to explain."

"While I was asleep I had a dream." Grissom nodded and stayed silent as he waited for her to continue. "It was really realistic. I thought that I'd had another baby but that there had been a problem during the birth. We all thought it was dead and Al kept trying to sort it and eventually he managed to bring it back. It's just upsetting thinking that you've had two kids, and one has been saved just, to wake up and find out that you only had one. It's almost like losing a child, even if they never existed."

"Sweetie, you did have another baby. It did survive. That wasn't a dream, it was what happened." Sara turned her face up to long at him.

"You mean, it was true? We have another baby? Can I see her?"

Grissom nodded and turned slightly so that Sara could see the baby he was holding. She immediately reached out a hand to touch its hair.

"She has her daddy's hair." She said softly. Grissom knew her hormones were still off though when she immediately turned to annoyed in the space of a blink.

"Why did you try to keep her from me? Why didn't you tell me straight away? You want to take her away from me. Give me back my daughter!"

Grissom held one hand up, and interrupted her. "Sara, I never meant to keep her from you. And I would never take her away from you because I'm not going away. I just didn't want to let go of her yet. That way you could also greet your first daughter while she was awake. As your second daughter was still asleep."

Sara nodded, now slightly calmer. She went back to staring at the girl in her arms. After a few minutes she spoke again. "Gil? Can I hold my other daughter now?"

Grissom looked at her and nodded, he took the girl from her hands and handed her the one in his. Sara gazed down at the sleeping face.

After a short while Sara spoke again. "Is the power still out? We need to go buy another cot."

"As far as I know it is. But I haven't exactly been checking on it. We can see and get Catherine to pick up another cot if you want if she'll pick one out."

Sara nodded, "Ok. I'd like to see her. And the rest of the team. Were they all here or did they all run away?"

"Catherine and I were both at your side." Sara nodded, indicating she had already known this. "Nick, Greg, and Warrick all went and huddled in the corner together, I think. David joined the lab techs when he realised that it was someone he knew and I think he was scared that Al might ask him to help."

"Where is Al? And Catherine?"

"They're over there." He turned around and nodded to them both, they both came closer. Sara spoke to them both when they came in front of her.

"Guys, both of you. Thank You. Cath, thanks, I needed someone there who had already been through it. Thank You." She gave her baby to Grissom and reached out and took Catherine's hand and squeezed it. Catherine nodded.

"You did well. I had pain meds when I did it." Sara smiled at her before turning to Doc. Robbins.

"Al, you saved my baby. Thank you. I know it must have been awkward for you. Especially when you were saving my baby, but you did it anyway. I couldn't have done it without you Al, I -" He cut her off by taking hold of her spare hand.

"I know Sara. Your welcome. And thank you as well." Sara looked at him, grateful for him understanding, but confused why he was saying thank you to her, he answered her unvoiced question. "You didn't ask me stupid questions. You let me work. And you trusted me. Sara it was that understanding and silence that helped me save your baby. It was you, not me."

Sara gasped slightly. Shocked at his words, he was thanking her. "Doc. I want to ask you. What actually went wrong?"

"She moved around and managed to wrap her umbilical cord around her neck, so as she tried to get out it tightened."

"But the first one came out alright. And what did you actually have to do? If you don't mind explaining. I want to know."

"The first was one was ok because they had separate umbilical cords because they weren't identical twins. And I had to unwrap it by hand as you pushed her out, but it had to be off her neck before her head fully came out. It's hard to explain."

"You mean you had to sort it by hand? As in, inside." She stopped, subconsciously squeezing her legs together slightly. "Well then definitely thank you. That had to be ... awkward." Al laughed lightly.

He changed the topic. "You want to try feeding yet? Baby 1's starting to look hungry."

"In a minute, I want to say hi to the guys first." She turned to Grissom. "We still need to name them."

He smiled widely at her. "Really, I quite like baby 1 and baby 2." She laughed at him and prodded him gently in the arm, soft enough not to disturb the baby laying in it.

When they heard that they could and after Catherine motioned for them they all approached Sara, Grissomand the babies eagerly. All offering congratulations and comments. Greg making some less appreciated comments about Sara's screaming until Catherine managed to make him quiet.

"Tell you what Greg. Why don't we shove a couple of bowling balls inside you, and see what kind of sounds you make as you push them out without any pain meds. Then you are allowed to comment on Sara."

Greg quickly subsided into relative silence after that. Warrick and Nick only laughed at him before turning their attention back to the infants and their happy parents. Eventually Al interrupted. "Sara, you ready to feed baby 1 yet. She's looking more and more like shes going to get upset very soon." Sara laughed lightly as the 3 guys who had recently come near her stepped back as one man away from her. She took pity on them.

"Guys, I don't mind if you don't want to stay for this bit. Equally your just as welcome to stay if you want. Or come back during when we've both settled down. It's up to you lot. I'm happy with whatever you choose to do."

Warrick and Nick nodded and smiled gratefully at Sara. She looked toward Greg wondering what he would decide. She could see his ming working weighing everything up. She tried hard not to laugh at him. Warrick and Nick had been searching for a polite way to leave while she started she could tell, Greg was finding it a hard decision. Eventually he seemed to come to a decision, Sara mentally braced herself when he opened his mouth to speak, she had seen the twinkle in his eye, which generally meant he was doing something not everyone would like.

"I think I'll stay if that's alright with you Sara." Sara opened her mouth to reply but Warrick got there first.

"Are you sure Greggo? It's not as pretty as you might think."

"Yeah man, if you're just staying to see stuff then your better going to a club." Nick added in. Sara fought desperately against the laughter which threatened to overwhelm her and forced herself to keep a straight face. Grissom was too busy watching Sara and watching over his children to listen too much to what Greg was saying.

Greg said nothing but looked down slightly embarrassed for a moment. As he looked up he seemed to have found something to say. "No, I'm a scientist. I'm interested in how things actually work. You don't get a real life impression from a classroom. And I'll have you know I've been thinking about settling down. This will help prepare me for what is ahead." He managed to get through it all with a straight face. Warrick and Nick collapsed into laughter, Grissom seemed to have started listening to what Greg was saying part way through.

"Greg, have you ever had any of your bones ground together in your hand?"

Greg looked confused. "No."

"Well then, from the mans point of view your not even prepared for the birth. Don't bother thinking about after the birth yet."

Sara also added into the conversation now. "Also Greg, if you really do want to settle down, which I kind of doubt judging from recent tales, then just a tip for you. Don't speak about the woman in question like shes an experiment. Unless she's into that kind of role play, it really won't help you."

Greg's expression looked hurt. "What do you mean unlikely due to recent tales?"

"Paint-on latex." Sara told him.

"Still saying 'hot girl at 1 o'clock." Catherine added.

"Dumping Angela because she let her nose ring hole heal up." Nick commented.

Warrick joined in, "Getting excited about glow-in-the-dark condoms."

Grissom was simply trying not to laugh and trying to control the smile on his face. Catherine opened her mouth to add something to the list. As did Warrick and Nick and Sara's expression was still dangerous. Greg headed them off before they got too far down that road.

"Ok, ok." He told them, waving his hands at them. "I see your point. You win." Warrick chuckled, Nick took him by the arm.

"Come on Greggo. We'll come back when they've started and it's settled down. " Nick almost dragged Greg away. Catherine and Doc Robbins stayed, and no-one could have moved Grissom.

When baby 1 was feeding happily, Catherine and Al, slowly moved away and went to join the rest of the team. Nick moved towards them to check everything was still fine. "Just give them a little time alone." She whispered to them all.

The rest of the team nodded. "Besides," she added, "power's back on, why don't we go check that nothings been lost. Those two will want some time alone. Also, we need to go find some cameras." She finished with a smile. They all quietly walked to the door to the break room. "Should we tell them the powers back on?" Nick asked quietly. Catherine shook her head, "it wouldn't even register properly with them anyway right now. Greg." She said quickly, her voice still carrying authority despite the lack of volume. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. But don't turn the lights on. It will shock them, and besides, the softer light will be easier for the babies." Greg nodded and moved his hand away from the light switch where it had been hovering.

They all quietly walked out of the room, leaving Sara and Grissom both perfectly content and happy, watching their daughter feed.
