Gil, we really need to talk about... our baby" Catherine said getting her daughter's room ready for her return from the hospital

"What do you mean? Is the baby okay?" Gil replied, stopping changing the bed linens

A warm April breeze rushed though the open bay window as Catherine tried to find the right words to phrase her answer

"Cath..."

"Umm... why don't you sit down?"

Gil sat down on the newly sheeted bed, just as he was told to do.

"The baby is fine, for now."

"What does that mean, for now?" Grissom asked, panic coming into his voice

'"It means that we're going to have to be careful,"

Grissom furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of what she was telling him. His face also showed that his hearing was fading out, and he was straining to lip-read.

"It also means that I'm going to have to make arrangements at work. That means that everyone will know. They already knew that we're...involved, but this is will really be a shocker."

"Are you okay though?"

"I can't lie to you can I?"

"No, I always know when you're lying to me."

"Truth honestly is that I can go into labor anytime starting at the end of the month."

"But you can't! You're only five months!"

"Remember when I was pregnant with Lindsay? How I had her four weeks to soon?"

Gil nodded his head

"Well since I went early once and I'm older, the doctor figures that i might go any time from my sixth month on." Catherine said, now leaning into Gil's shoulders "But I promise you that I'm going to try everything in my power to carry out baby for as long as possible."

"I know you will. You're strong, you'll be strong."

"I envy your faith."

"Did you and Lindsay decide on a name?" Grissom said, trying desperately to change the topic

"Sort of. For a girl she wants Cassandra Rose so we can call her Cassie."

"I like that. Cassie Grissom, Cassie Willows. Both have a very nice ring to them."

"On the other hand, she wants Joel Andrew for a boy." Catherine said, making a bit of a face when she said the potential name

"What do you think about it?"

"Let's just put it this way; I'm not its biggest fan."

"What would have been Lindsay's name if she was a boy?"

"You're going to laugh at me!"

"No I won't."

"Craig Alexander."

"Craig Alexander Willows, Craig Alexander Grissom."

"He'd have that same initials you."

"Cassie would too." Gil pointed out

"So what is it?"

"How about Andrew Alexander?"

"Cassie or Andy. I like that." Catherine said

"Looks like it."

Gil grabbed a stuffed cat of Lindsay's and set it on her pillow. Catherine stared out the window, thinking about her two babies.

"I can't believe that she finally is coming home!" Catherine said after being unusually quiet

"It's been along time." Grissom agreed

"She was telling me how much she missed her own bed."

"What time are they discharging her?"

"Four"

"Well, we should get started again." Gil said, looking at his watch

Right as Catherine and Gil were about to get up and go into another cleaning frenzy, Catherine took Gil's hand and placed it on her stomach. She smiled when she saw Grissom's reaction to the movements that their baby was making. He then took her hand, put it to his lips, and then placed it on his heart.

"We're going to be okay Catherine." Gil said, his voice a little tighter than normal

"I know we will be. We always are..."

"I can't promise you that I can make everything better for you, make your life better, but there is one thing that I can promise you. That one thing is that I'll love you for the rest of my life. What I'm trying to say is...will you be my wife?"
