People had begun to notice Sara's changing physique, but no one dared say anything in fear that Grissom, or Sara, would rip them a new one.

They also noticed that Sara and Gil had been on edge, as with the Sara thing, they didn't want to say anything, they knew that all would be shared in time, and now was that time. Grissom and Sara walked into the break room, Sara's eyes were puffy and red and Gil held a protective arm on their baby.

Catherine was the first to speak up. "Sara, sweetheart, what's wrong?" and when she stood to offer some kind of support Gil shot her a look that sent ice through her veins.

"I want everyone to sit and listen, that includes you Greg, and you Brass. Listen well because I'm only going to say this once, and it never leaves this room." at their nods he continued. "As I'm sure you all have noticed, Sara has gained some…weight. To answer your impending question, yes she is pregnant and yes it is mine. Now for the reason of this rush meeting; Sara and I have been on edge lately and more than slightly cranky. Sara's mom was diagnosed with cancer a while back and started aggressive treatment. It seems she took a turn for the worst, physically. The cancer appears to be clear but at her age the treatment was rough. Neither one of us has been sleeping well, waiting to hear some good news. I'm putting Sara on a plane in about two hours. I know that I didn't have to tell you this but you are our friends, we thought you should know. Catherine I'm giving you shift tonight."

"NO!"

"What?"

"Sara needs you right now, look at her, she's a mess… no offence…she needs you to be with her now. You are getting on that flight with her. The boys and I can handle things here for a few days."

"Thanks Cath, but the reason it's just Sara is because she was going to go on maternity leave. We don't know how long she's going to be gone."

"Gil, don't be stupid. We can handle things here for a few weeks if need be. If we have any problems I'll contact you."

"Thanks guys" Sara was so quiet that the team thought they had heard wrong, until she walked up to Catherine and wrapped her arms around her neck. "Catherine, I know that we haven't been the best of friends, but I always considered you a girlfriend." and as an afterthought "I hope that you and Warrick have more luck than Gil and I seem to be having…"

Catherine blushed. "Sara, sweetheart, you're both going to be fine. Now go, take as long as you need, we can handle things here."

When they finally arrived at the hospital Sara's mom was sleeping, they sat with her for a few hours until the doctor came in and said it was time to go. Then they headed to Sara's sisters house, where they would be staying until things blew over.

"Babe I'm really tired, I just want to sleep forever."

Sara placed her head on his lap, and laid down on the couch.

"I love you Sara. You're being so strong for your mom and I know that you're breaking apart inside. I just want you to know how much I love you."

"I love you too Gil"

Gil had just let his head fall back when he felt Sara shift and grab her stomach, and then she screamed.

"Baby what's wrong?"

"It hurts Gil, it fucking hurts. Something is wrong."

Gil reached for the phone on the coffee table and called for an ambulance. When it arrived five minutes later, Sara was in tears. They took Sara to Foothills Hospital. Gil wasn't allowed to be with her during the emergency c-section. He sat in the waiting room for what felt like hours, until a doctor finally came out.

"Mr. Grissom?"

"That's me. How is she? When can I see her and my baby?"

"She is doing fine, and the babies are fine. It appears that one of the babies was pressed against her spine. Your wife is pretty out of it right now, but she's asking for you."

Gil, in a state of stress, hadn't noticed that the doctor had mentioned two babies, since he and Sara had only been expecting one. Gil stopped outside her door and turned to the doctor.

"When can I see my baby?"

"We have taken them to NCIU. As soon as they have been Okayed one of the nurses will come get you."

When he finally walked into her room, what he saw shocked him. Sara looked terrified.

"Have you seen them Gil? They won't let me see my babies. Why won't they let me see them?"

Her voice was panicked. It wasn't until Gil heard the words come out of her mouth that everything the doctor said had made sense.

The doctor told them that this sort of thing happened with multiple pregnancies, and they most likely would have found baby number two at the next doctor's appointment. He also said that if Sara hadn't gone into labor when she did there would have been far worse complications.

"So what did we have?"

"A boy and a girl. She's going to be a handful, little devil was sitting in my spine…somehow?"

"What do they weigh?"

Just then the door was opened and a nurse walked in with the babies wrapped in blankets.

"The boy is a healthy seven pounds, and your girl is just five pounds."

Gil took the little girl from the nurse and she passed the boy to Sara.

"She's so little." big fat tears made their way down his cheeks as he looked at his little girl for the first time.

"We need names babe. Kind of silly that we thought we weren't going to be parents for a while."

"How 'bout HOPE ANGELGRISSOM"

"It's beautiful Gil. I like JOHNATHON MICHAEL GRISSOM"

"I love you"

"I love you. When can we go home?"

"Within the next forty eight hours Sara and the twins will be released. Until then you may stay with her as long as you wish, just let her get her sleep."

"Thank you doctor for everything that you've done."

As soon as the doctor left and all instructions had been given on breast feeding and diaper changing, Sara drifted off to sleep, content that her children and lover were safe. Gil stood and watched his new family; an easy sigh escaped his lips as he thought of how different things were going to be.
