Five months ago Catherine Willows was alone, with no on but Lindsey. Now she was pregnant with Warrick Brown's baby. They were getting married next month. Catherine wanted to wait until after the baby was born, because she thought she was fat. Warrick just told her that she isn't fat and she is beautiful. She was happy she was getting married and having Warrick's baby, she was not having any doubts. Gil, Nick, Sara, Greg, and Jim plus Warrick and she were sitting at their kitchen table talking about names for the baby.
"What about, if it's a girl, Sadi" Sara said.
"That's nice," Catherine said.
"Well what if it's a boy" Nick said, "Then Nick Jr.". They all laughed hysterically.
"Yeah, right Nick" Warrick said.
"Okay, well how about Nikki?" he said, "It's the girl version of Nick". They all laughed harder.
"That's a good one, but no," Catherine said.
"Okay" Gil said, "How about Erica".
"That's good," Warrick said, "But we are not going name her or him until she or he is born, since we can't think of anything". They all stayed for dinner, and to talk more about the baby.

One month later Catherine was finally getting married. She was at her friends' house being fitted for her wedding dress.
"I look so fat, Isabella" she said talking to her friend.
"No you don't Catherine, don't talk like that," Isabella said.
"What" she said.
"There, you look great" Isabella said.
"Yeah right" she said. Isabella just looked at.
Later Catherine stopped to get her something to eat and went home where she ate more.
"Mmm" she said, "Pickles, cucumbers, cheese and sour cream". Warrick was sitting next to her. He looked at the food in disgust. She was putting it all together, when she did that he turned his head away. She just laughed and kept on eating.
"How can you eat that?" he asked her.
"Warrick, I'm pregnant, what do you expect?" she asked him.
"Nothing" he said.
"Well okay" she said.
"So, what names do you like, I mean you are six months."
"I don't know Warrick", "Sadi is nice, like Sara suggested".
"Well I don't ether."
"I like the idea you had", "Name her or him when she or he is born".
"Okay that's fine."
"You know Warrick; I love you very, very much."
"I love you to." She scooted over to him, and kissed him.
"What's with all the love?" he asked.
"What you don't want it?" she asked him.
"No I want it, but it's not like you, all of a sudden," he said.
"Well, good, do you want to go to the bed room?" she asked.
"Why yes I do," he said. They went into there bedroom. Just as they were about to get undressed Lindsey came into there room.
"Mommy" Lindsey said. Catherine looked over at the clock; it was time for Lindsey to come home from school.
"Lindsey" she said getting out from under Warrick, "Your home".
"Yeah, I'm going to go do my homework" she said.
"Uh, okay sweetie" Catherine said. She looked at Warrick. He looked back at her.
------------
It was Warrick's and Catherine's wedding day, and Catherine was nervous. She was afraid that she looked to fat. Everyone was telling her that she looked beautiful, and she did, but she did not believe them.
"Cath, you look wonderful," Sara said trying to calm her down.
"Yeah, you look great," said her best friend Caitlin.
While Catherine was panicking, so was Warrick. He was thinking that he wouldn't be a good dad, or husband.
"Warrick, you are going to be a great dad," Nick said.
"Yeah and a great husband" Greg put in.
"You can do this, Warrick, I know you can" Gil said holding on to his shoulders.
A runner came in and said, "It's time Mr. Brown".
"Come on Warrick, let's go get you married" Gil said, "I fill like a dad in away, you and Catherine, I'm marring you all off".
"Yeah" he said. It was a beautiful wedding. There was not a dry eye in the whole church.
"Do you Warrick Raymond Brown; take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love and to cherish in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer until death do you part?"
"I do" Warrick said smiling and half crying.
"And do you Catherine Ann Willows; take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love and to cherish in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer until death do you part?"
"I do," she said, unable to control her crying.
"The rings please", they got the rings, "Now Warrick repeat after me, with this ring,"
"With this ring,"
"I thee wed."
"I thee wed."
"Okay, now Catherine, with this ring,"
"With this ring,"
"I thee wed."
"I thee wed."
"By the power vested in me, and the State of Nevada, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." They kissed and everyone clapped. Literally, there was not a dry eye. Even the men.
------------
Two months later Warrick and Catherine were very happy because in one more month they would be welcoming their baby into the world. They were married and had a wonderful honeymoon. They left the bright lights of Las Vegas, and went to Hawaii. It was great. They could not wait until next month. They could not wait to bring her, yes her they found it out, into the world. Life was still good for Catherine Willows, no Catherine Brown.
