joey d.a. - Its totally OK if you don't have Nick be the father. I just really didn't want Grissom to be the father because, c'mon, don't we have enough of those G/S stories? A future N/S story of yours will be great, I'm sure.

Nick and Sara had washed the twins off in Catherine's bathroom, then headed towards Lindsey's room to change them. Sara said "You two need to learn that you can't just dig your hands in cake whenever you see one. If you would have asked for someone to cut a piece for you, we wouldn't be doing this" as Lindsey brought sweats for Elle to change into, and t-shirt for Harrison to put on. "Thanks, Linds."
"No problem, Sara. Do you guys have to leave now?" Lindsey asked, hoping she would still have time to play with the twins.
"In a little while we'll be leaving. These two are starting to get sleepy." Nick answered for Sara, helping Harrison change his shirt.
"Daddy, I'm not sleepy." Harrison said, as the t-shirt was pulled over his head. "Lindsey! This shirt has the Power Puff Girls on it!"
"Sorry Harrison, but that's all I had. Its not like I have t-shirts for boys just lying around."
"Its OK, Linds. Harrison is just in a bad mood because he's getting tired." Sara said, emerging from the bathroom with Elle, who was now dressed in light pink sweats, with no stockings.
"Mommy, can I go put my stockings on Greg's head now?" Elle said, remembering the compromise her and her mother had made earlier in the day.
"Sure, but if Greg says no, its no. No argument, you hear me Elle?" Sara said, as she hung her cleaned dress on a hanger to dry and set it on the doorknob.
"Ok Mommy. Hey Harrison, want to help?" Elle said, hoping that her and her brother would be able to get the stockings onto Greg's head.
"Sure!" Harrison said, jumping off the seat that was at Lindsey's desk. Him and Elle pushed passed their parents, and headed towards the living room where the knew Greg was sitting with Warrick, watching some show on MTV.
"I never thought I could be this tired just from being at a party" Sara said, as she sat down on Lindsey's bed. Catherine had heard this comment, and remarked "Yeah, a party where you have two four year olds running around. If you want, you can rest a little bit and I'll keep an eye on them."
"No thanks, Cath, its OK. I think if I fall asleep, I'll never wake up." Sara said, getting up with a little help from Nick.
As the three walked towards the living room, they saw Carly walking towards the bathroom. "You guys might not want to walk out there just yet" she said, almost out of breath. "Your kids are on an energy high or something."
Sara looked at Nick, and he put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her forward. "Come on, Nicky. Catherine did say she'd watch them for a little while.."
"No Sara, they're our kids." Nick said, wanting just as much as Sara to go back and collapse on Lindsey's bed, but didn't want to put Catherine out.
As they entered the living room, Greg called out to them. "Sara!! Nick!! Get these animals off of me. Come on, you guys! Please? Please Nick! Sara! Please!!"
"Sorry Greggo, but you built up a reputation with these two that you're Mr. Fun, and you don't want to disappoint them, do you?" Nick said, walking over and sitting on the couch opposite them. At that moment, Harrison went right in front of Greg's face and put on the pout that he had mastered and knew would get him anything he wanted.
"Ugh, OK, but I'm only wearing these stockings on my head for 5 minutes. Nicholas, start the countdown." Greg held up the white stockings with the runs that Sara cringed at, and when Nick said "Go", Greg put them on his head.
Catherine reappeared from the kitchen at that moment. "Oh my gosh, Greg, they finally got to you, huh?" Greg just nodded. He hated this, but he loved the happiness it brought to the twins. "Oh, I just have to get my camera. Don't go anywhere!" Catherine ran back into the kitchen, got out the disposable camera she had used to take a picture of Elle sleeping on Nick's shoulder and the aftermath of the twins' cake brigade.
She snapped the picture, with Elle and Harrison on either side of his head. Nick, forgetting that he was supposed to be counting, ran and got his camera out of Sara's bag. He took a picture, too. Nick knew that he would never see this happen again.
Just as Nick snapped the picture, Carly emerged from the bathroom. "Oh Greg!" she gasped. "I never thought you, uh, enjoyed that look. Its, um, different, I guess." Everyone just laughed as Greg's face turned from an annoyed pink, to a utterly embarrassed red.
"Greg, that's a beautiful shade of red your sporting." Warrick said, coming in from outside after a discussion about the spider Grissom had found enjoying the cake that had been viciously mauled by the twins.
"I did it all by myself!" Elle said.
"No you didn't. I helped out, Warrick." Harrison said, not wanting Elle to have all the glory.
"Well, you both did a fine job. It's a good look for you, Greg." Warrick said, just as Elle leaned back on him and yawned.
"Oh, I think its time for us to go home." Nick said, witnessing his daughter's yawn.
"Yeah, these two have been up since early. And tomorrow, we're going and getting them signed up for preschool."
"Mommy, I'm not tired. Only Elle is." Harrison said, watching his sister's eyes droop as she made herself comfortable on her Warrick Pillow.
"No I'm not Harrison. Mommy, can't we stay longer?" Elle said, trying to open her eyes and make herself wake back up.
"I'm sorry honey, but we need to go. Look, even Uncle Grissom has fallen asleep." Sara said, pointing at Grissom, who, wanting to help out the young parents, feigned sleep and leaned his head back on the chair he was sitting in.
Harrison, realizing it must've been late if Grissom was sleeping, got up and walked into his mother's open arms.
"I'll get her, War." Nick said, walking over and picking up Elle, who had fallen asleep in a matter of minutes.
Harrison, who was almost asleep, rested his head on Sara's shoulder.
Sara went over and thanked Catherine for the party.
"Cath, it really was great. We had a really great time."
"Oh, Sara, it was really no problem. I had a great time, too, and so did Lindsey. We really should do this more often."
Sara and Nick said goodbye to Greg, Carly, Lindsey, and lastly Grissom. Warrick had helped carry out the presents, that, by request of Catherine's, hadn't been opened yet. Carly had gotten Elle's dress and Sara laid it on two free fingers.
"Hey Uncle Grissom, I thought you were sleeping" Harrison said, as they were leaving.
"Oh, I was, but I wanted to say goodbye to you, so Lindsey woke me up" Grissom said, winking at Lindsey and kissing Harrison on the forehead.
"Thanks again, Cath." Nick said, as he said good-bye to everyone.
"Your very welcome, Nick. These two are great. You and Sara did good." Catherine said, brushing stray strands of hair out of Elle's face.
"Thanks Cath, see you soon." Nick said, walking out to the car.
After getting Elle and Harrison buckled in and getting the bag of presents in the trunk, Nick shook his friend's hand, and Sara kissed him on the cheek.
"Whew, I'm tired." Sara said.
"Well, you better get enough sleep. We have to get these kids up tomorrow and get them ready to sign up for preschool." Nick said, as they pulled away from Catherine's house.
