Yes, I have no life whatsoever and I am writing yet another chapter. ............................................................................ ...........….
March had come and gone, as did April and May. By the time June rolled around, Sara was ready to take these babies out herself. At times, she felt uneasy in her body, as she was used to being thinner. With the twins, she hadn't grown as big as she had during this pregnancy. Her maternity clothes were an extra large, and we're beginning to become too tight. 'Only a week left' Sara kept repeating to herself. They had done up the guest bedroom to be a nursery, with three cribs and two changing tables. Catherine had donated the one she had used when Lindsey was a baby, to help the young couple keep within the amount of money they had. Nick's parents had flown in the night before, and Sara's were due to arrive tomorrow morning. They were staying in a hotel about 5 blocks from the Stokes home.
"Mommy, are those babies ever going to come out?" Elle asked, as they sat on the porch in their backyard. They were having a barbeque/baby shower with everyone from work and the soon-to-be grandparents. Catherine had brought Lindsey, and Greg had brought Carly along. Sara was happy to see that there relationship was working out so well. They had been together almost a year.
"Soon, sweetheart, soon." Sara said, rubbing Elle's head as she laid it on top of Sara's stomach, to see if she could hear anything. It was customary for Elle to come into Sara's bedroom at night, and sit and just listen to the babies.
"No soon! I want them to be here now." Elle said, picking her head up after hearing nothing.
"Well, you're just going to have to wait. There's nothing Mommy can do. These babies decide when they want to come out." Sara said, picking up a gift box off the floor with a tag that read in pink, curly letters 'Elle.'
"Look sweetie, somebody brought a gift for you." Sara knew who it was from, she had seen Grissom walk in with the pink package behind his back and had placed it on one of the porch steps. "I wonder what it could be" she said, watching as Elle ripped at the wrapping paper.
"Ooh, Mommy, look." said Elle, throwing the box and tissue paper to the side and holding up the white t-shirt. In pink and purple glittery writing, it said 'Best Big Sister.'
"Elle, its beautiful. Uncle Grissom brought it." she said, pointing towards where Grissom and Nick were talking. Grissom had looked up and saw Elle holding the shirt. He held up his arms to her, and she ran towards him. At the same time, Nick had made his way up over to where Sara was sitting, with her legs outstretched.
"How is my beautiful wife?" Nick asked. After not getting a reply, he turned around to see what was keeping Sara from answering.
"She's in labor. My water just broke." Sara said, trying to get up.
"What? Are you sure?" Nick said, dropping the soda he had just poured for himself.
"Yes Nick, I'm absolutely positive." She said, getting up.
"OK, let me go get Catherine and she'll bring you out to the car. Greg! Greg!" He called out as Greg ran towards him. "Greg, go get the duffel bag that's next to our bedroom door and bring it out to my Tahoe."
"Why?"
"Sara's going into labor." He said, running off to get Warrick as Catherine walked out of the house to see what the commotion was.
"What's going on here?" Catherine asked, grabbing onto Sara's arm and helping her walk into the house.
"Oh nothing really, Nick spilled some soda, and I'm getting ready to give birth to triplets." She said, making her way towards the front door. Catherine smiled. "Do you mind walking me to the car?"
"Yes, oh wow. OK, come on, lets go!" She said, as Greg ran past them to unlock the Tahoe. While Sara made her way to the car, Nick had scooped up Elle in his arms and Warrick grabbed Harrison.
"Hey Warrick, do you mind driving with these two to the hospital? Sara doesn't need to hear them bickering in the back seat right now." He said, handing Elle over to Warrick.
"Sure, man. Come on guys, Mommy's going to have the babies!" he said, going out to his car. "Hey Carly, you and Greg want to ride with me?"
"Alright, but I think Greg went to help out." Carly said, taking Harrison out of Warrick's arms so that he could get his car keys out.
"Warrick, me, Catherine and Lindsey will follow behind you guys." Grissom said, calling Lindsey over.
"Mommy!" Elle said, jumping out of Warrick's arms as they made their way outside.
"Hey baby" she said, as Nick climbed into the driver's seat. "I'll see you at the hospital, OK, honey?"
"OK Mommy." She said, as she followed Warrick to his car.
"Come on Greg, you and Carly are riding with us." Warrick said, as Greg closed the trunk to Nick's Tahoe.
"Yeah, and Cath, you're coming with me and Lindsey." Grissom said, following behind as he made sure the front door was locked behind them.
They all drove to the hospital, one Tahoe behind the other. Three in a row. Sara found it quite ironic. Three Tahoes going to the same place to be there when three babies are born.
............................................................................ ...........….
Four and a half hours later, and Sara had given birth to the first of the three children. Nick walked out of the delivery room, practically glowing.
"A girl, she's had a girl." He said, picking Harrison up off the floor as Elle slept in one of the waiting room chairs.
"Congratulations, Nicky."
"Yeah, thanks. They're giving her a little breather before pushing out the next one. It was amazing" Nick said. With the twins, Sara had to have a C-section, but this time she had done it naturally. She wanted no drugs, but she could only take so much pain, and finally gave in and had an epidural.
"Mr. Stokes" a nurse called out, popping her head out from the delivery room. "Your wife wants you."
"OK, thanks." He said, turning back around to his friends and family. "I'll be back."
45 minutes later, and Nick walked out in the same fashion he had before.
"She had a boy" he said, looking as his twins slept in waiting room chairs. "She's taking another rest. Let me go back in there, I just wanted to let you guys know." He said, getting a hug from Catherine.
"We'll be here" she called out, as Lindsey began to fall asleep in a waiting room chair.
An hour and a half later, and Nick walked out once more, with the same glow he had the previous two times.
"Another boy. Two boys and a girl. Three sons and two daughter. Five children." Nick said, validating it for himself and for the rest of the people. An elderly couple sitting in the waiting area smiled at him, as he woke up Elle and Harrison.
"Hey guys, did you sleep well?"
"Yeah Daddy, did Mommy have the babies?" Elle asked, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"Yup, she had two boys and a girl."
"Really?" Harrison asked, perking up as he heard the news.
"Really. You can't see the babies right now, but you can see Mommy. She wants to see you two." said Nick.
"OK Daddy, but can you carry me? I'm too sleepy to walk." Elle said, holding his arms up to him.
"Of course, Elle." he said, grabbing onto one of Harrison's hands.
