Chapter 21
A Boy
A/N: Yes, in this chapter Nick learns he and Sara are going to be parents to a bouncing baby boy. Thank you to Wildcats-15 who suggested a name-I'm using part of the name-which gave me a good idea-THANK YOU!
"Him, you mean the baby is a boy"? Nick asked a smile creeping across his face.
"A very healthy boy I am happy to report".
"You hear that Nicky"? Catherine asked hugging him.
"Brass"! Nick said suddenly.
"He's on his way". Grissom said smiling.
"He's been a good friend to you and Sara hasn't he"? Catherine asked.
"Yes, he has and even more so to Sara". Nick said smiling.
"Doctor, when do you need Nick for the transplant"? Grissom asked.
"Right away, the sooner we get the new marrow into her system the stronger she'll become".
"How is the baby doing so well if Sara's been shutting down little by little"? Catherine asked wondering.
"She's been taking good care of herself and that baby and the medication fortunately hasn't affected anything else yet so its almost a good thing that Sara got this sick, otherwise I don't believe she would have been so lucky".
"Ok, Doctor Ross I'm ready when you are". Nick said.
Nick looked over at Catherine and Grissom and smiled.
"I'll call the guys to update them". Grissom said.
"She's going to be ok and so are you". Catherine said kissing Nick's cheek.
Nick came out of surgery tired and hurting but he was more concerned as to how Sara was doing.
"Hey Nicky, I know what you're going to ask and she's doing great. The transplant went wonderfully and she's already getting stronger". Catherine said rubbing the outside of his hand with her thumb.
"Is anyone with her"?
"No, the have to keep her in isolation for 4 weeks and don't worry they're monitoring the baby very closely".
Nick just nodded and squeezed Catherine's hand.
"Thank you Cath".
She leaned over and kissed his forehead.
"You get some rest now ok and we'll come by in the morning to check in on you".
"Goodnight Cath". Nick said before turning over and falling asleep.
