Nick came speeding down the hallway and skidded to a stop when Grissom
stepped out from the room. "What did I miss?" He asked frantically.
"Well. Why don't you find out for yourself." Grissom smiled.
"Come on Gil. How is Jennifer?"
"She's fine Nick. Why don't you go in there and find out for yourself." Grinning, Grissom stepped aside from the doorway gesturing his arm into the room.
Nick glanced at the door and then back at Grissom before finally stepping inside Jennifer's hospital room. It was a slow walk, which seemed like it took hours to finally reach her. He got to the edge of the curtain when he peered around and saw the most amazing sight a man could ever see. There sitting up, with the sun shining on her face, Jennifer was holding their baby wrapped up in a blanket.
Jennifer looked up from their baby and smiled. "Hey you. Somebody here wants to see you."
He was speechless. He could feel the tears forming in his eyes, but rapidly blinked them away. He stepped closer and peered over the blanket that was covering the infants face.
"We have a daughter Nick." Jennifer said quietly. Nick was taken aback and fell onto the bed. He ran his hand through his hair and smiled.
"I've got a baby girl?" He asked. Jennifer nodded. "Can I?" He asked nodding at the little girl.
Jennifer smiled and gently handed the baby over to Nick. The tiny baby moved in his arms and she shifted around to get comfortable. He couldn't believe it. There he was, holding the daughter, the tiny baby that Jennifer carried inside of her for nine months. 'I helped make this baby.' Nick thought to himself. "Does she have a name?" He asked still looking at his daughter.
"Not yet. I thought we should name her together. But I do have a few names in mind." Jennifer said yawning as she put her head back on the pillow, tired from the quick labor.
"Lay it on me." Nick spoke as he gently moved the blanket away from their daughters' face and she grabbed his finger.
Jennifer brushed the hair way from her face and sighed contently. "Well I was thinking Emily as a first name and Elizabeth as a second name." She paused looking at Nick who was still looking at his daughter with amazement.
"It's perfect." He said. "She's perfect." He turned around to face Jen. "Thank you so much for giving me this beautiful little girl. And I'm sorry I had to miss her being born."
"Nick it's okay. Our jobs are time consuming and I understand. My dad has everything on tape so you can see it. I didn't want you to miss it. And you're welcome, but thank you for Emily. It wouldn't have been possible with out you, you know." Jennifer snickered.
"Well that I know." He paused. "I'm good aren't I?" Nick laughed.
"You're wonderful." Jennifer smiled and sighed as she looked on to Emily with Nick beside her.
"Well. Why don't you find out for yourself." Grissom smiled.
"Come on Gil. How is Jennifer?"
"She's fine Nick. Why don't you go in there and find out for yourself." Grinning, Grissom stepped aside from the doorway gesturing his arm into the room.
