Catherine

I found Sara in Gil's office. "You okay?" I ask her as I see her laying on the couch with her hand rubbing her stomach.

She sits up smiling. "I'm good, just tired. Thought I'd take a moment and just relax. Hoped I'd find Gil in here but at last he is out."

"I'm glad I found you alone, the boys have been trying to get all the attention but I wanted to talk to you"

"What is it Catherine?" She asks looking concerned.

"Nothing bad." I see the relief that crosses her face. "I just... I'll miss you. I know we haven't always seen eye to eye." I see her smile. "Gil... He's one of my best friends and when you came you kind of took a lot of his attention. I felt threatened a bit. I've learned a lot about you the last few days and wish I knew these things earlier because we could have been closer. I just want to be friends. I want to be included in the aunts and uncles and be there for you guys and..." She stops me with her hand on mine.

"Cathrine, you were always family. You all know I don't have any family and you all have become that. You were always going to be aunt Cat, we may not have always gotten along but what family ever does?" She pauses. "You pushed and poked, but that made me a better CSI and a better person at times. You pushed Gil, that's no small feat. I have him because you helped him realize that he loves me. That even with the risks it was worth it to love me, anyone. Because of you we are happy and now we are adding to this weird and crazy family. I couldn't have picked a better family." I can see the tears in her eyes as mine run down my face.

I pull her up off the couch and hug her. I feel the push on my stomach and pull away. "Was that...?"

"Yeah, bug is pretty active at this time." She says running her hand over her bump. "Sorry for the kick." She laughs.

"No, don't be... Can I?" I ask knowing Sara and how she is with touch feeling things.

"Of course, Cath." She says as I lay my hand over the spot I felt the kick.

"Him or her are going to be such heart breakers." I smile at her.

She laughs, "Don't let Gil hear you say that. She'll be locked in a tower for the rest of her life."

"Her? It's a girl?" I ask excited. She nods. "Oh I am going to spoil her rotten."

"Between you and Gil I will have to be the bad guy." She laughs.

"God help us all if she turns out to look just like you. Gil will turn into papa bear so fast."

"He already is."

"Who's what?" I release Sara and turn towards the voice.

"You, papa bear." I tell him smiling.

"She'll be a mini Sara and it will be the end of me." He smiles moving to pull Sara into his side. She's laughing at him.

"You'll be a great dad." She tells him.

"Only with you, love."

"When are you both leaving." I ask and no can feel the emotions as they turn back to look at me.

"I just put I my two weeks. I would have to leave for maternity leave anyways so I'm just going to take it and not come back." Sara tells me.

"And you papa bear?" I smile at him.

"Don't call me that." He says smiling. "I have talked to Ecklie and the head of the department at the university. I will leave the lab in a month and will start at the university after the next semester." Gil says turning not Sara.

"You'll be home for a few months after the baby?" Catherine asks.

"I want to be home with Sara and bug for awhile. I want to enjoy some time jut the three of us." He says kissing Sara's head.

"I am so happy for you guys. I will be there to spoil baby girl." I tell them and I get laughs form them.

"She will be loved." Sara says placing her hand back on her bump.

Sara yawns and Gil turns back to me. "Sorry Cath, I came to get Sara so we could go home."

"Of course." I tell him turning back to Sara. "We'll talk later." I place my hand over hers and walk out of the office.
