A few weeks later
Catherine decided that the shower would take place at her house. Normally men usually don't attend baby showers, but this time was different. She knew that Sara would want all her friends there. Catherine was setting out trays of food while Lindsey gathered plates and forks.
"Mommy, can I play with the baby when she comes?" Lindsey asked.
"Of course you can. I bet even Sara would even let you spend the night in their new house."
"Really! That would be so cool!" Lindsey finished with the plates and began helping her mother with the food.
Catherine smiled at her daughter's enthusiasm. Warrick and Sara bought a house last week and with the help of everyone, were already moved in. They decided to wait until the baby was born to get married. Sara had mentioned to Catherine that there was no way she was going to wear a wedding dress seven months pregnant. "Maybe you can even baby-sit for them."
"Yeah, and then I could have some money to go out with Adam." Even though she was eleven, Lindsey thought the idea of having a boyfriend was cool. Catherine didn't.
"Sweetie, you're too young to date boys."
"It's not a date date. Besides we're never alone. All my friends are with us." Lindsey defended.
Catherine just shook her head. "Is Adam still coming today?" Lindsey had begged her to let him come until Cath finally broke down and agreed.
"Yeah, his dad is bringing him over because his mom is dropping his sister off at cheer camp." Lindsey reached in the chip bag and grabbed a few and popped them in her mouth.
"That's fine." The doorbell rang and Catherine glanced at her watch. It was 2:45; the shower didn't start until three. Lindsey jumped up. "I'll get it!!"
She ran to the door and opened it hoping it was Adam; instead she was greeted by Grissom. "Oh hey Uncle Grissom."
He smiled at her. "Hey Lindsey, sorry I'm not Adam."
"It's okay. Come on in. Mom's in the kitchen." She and Grissom walked back into the kitchen and he greeted Catherine.
"Hey Gil, thanks for coming."
"Like I would miss this?" Grissom stated. Sara was like a daughter to him and he couldn't think of anywhere else he wanted to be.
By three, all the guests had arrived. They took all the food presents outside because of the warm weather. They all sat back and talked and played a few games. Then Sara was allowed to open her gifts.
The first one she opened was from Catherine. It was a large box and inside contained diapers, wipes, baby shampoo, and powder. The next present was from Grissom. He bought her a baby stroller and a car seat. He insisted that his "granddaughter" had to travel in style. Greg bought her bottles, diapers, wipes, and a C.D.
"Marilyn Manson better not be on this." Sara warned him.
"Well, I really wanted to put this one song by him on there, but I decided against it." He replied.
"What is on it?" Sara asked knowing that he created it himself.
"A bunch of slow easy songs for you to rock your baby with."
Sara smiled at him. "Thanks Greg." She gave him a hug.
"Wait that's not all." He said. "I bet you're asking yourself what am I going to rock my baby with. The answer to that is behind you."
Sara turned around and there stood Warrick and Lindsey with a rocking chair. Sara couldn't keep the grin off her face. "We all pitched in together and had specially made for you." Warrick told her.
"Thanks so much you guys." She walked over and sat down in the chair. It was the most comfortable chair she had ever been in. She opened the rest of her gifts sitting in that chair. Nick had bought her a baby blanket and several other small things.
After the shower was over, Nick and Warrick had baby stuff in their vehicles. Sara gave each one of them a hug and thanked them again. Warrick and Nick carried in the stuff and put it in the nursery. The three of them had worked hard and painted the room and decorated it. It had a crib and a changing area. Warrick carried the rocking chair and sat it down by the window. Nick gave Sara a quick kiss bye and left.
Warrick reached for Sara's hand. "I love you."
"I love you too." She continued to gaze around the room. "This all seems so unreal."
"I can't wait to see our daughter."
"Me neither."
Warrick pulled out a tiny box from his shirt pocket. "I wanted to give you this when we were alone." He handed the box to her.
She inspected it. "What is it?"
"Something for the baby. Open it."
She carefully unwrapped the paper and opened the box. Inside was a very old baby necklace. It was gold and it had a heart pendant. "Warrick, it's beautiful."
"It belonged to my grandma. She gave it to me in hopes that I had a daughter."
Sara wrapped him in a hug and held him tightly. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He pulled her back and kissed her. They pulled apart and gave the room a final glance, both looking forward to the day they bring their baby home.
