Chapter 23
Name Sake and Give Away
Summary: Nick and Sara tell Brass they've named their baby after him.
A/N: I think Brass really is a good friend to Sara, so I thought of this idea when one of my reviewers gave me an idea for a name. I also got the idea for their fireplace from a new show on TLC called "Moving Up". My cousin and her husband were on the show last Saturday and also this past Wednesday.
"Stokes"! Nick said answering his cell.
"Hey, Nicky I got a message that said to call you and Sara when I got off duty".
"Hey Brass, can you come over for a beer and some dinner"?
"Sure, who's all going to be there"?
"Actually, it'll just be you because we have something to tell you".
"Ok, I'm on my way see you in about 15 minutes".
"Bye". Nick said hanging up his phone.
One pineapple, 10 pickles, 5 olives and 1 strawberry yogurt later Sara was out for the count.
"Wait till Catherine hears about this". Nick said laughing as he put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
Nick went to turn on the light water fountain that was connected to their blue stone fireplace.
The doorbell rang about 15 minutes later which also woke up Sara from her nap.
"Nicky, who's at the door"? Sara said stifling a yawn.
"Hey Sara"! Jim said walking in the door.
"I thought we could share the news with him". Nick said taking a seat next to Sara handing Brass a cold beer.
"So, what's the big news that you could only tell me"? Brass said looking at them with question.
"Well, Sara and I talked about this and you've been a great friend to us over the years and-"
"Well, we've decided to name our baby after you".
"Why after me"?
"You've been there for me when I've needed someone, so we've decided to name him James Tyler Stokes".
"I- I don't know what to say, I'm honored to say the least".
"JT Stokes". Brass said.
"Yeah, I know I like the sound of that too". Sara said hugging Brass.
"We also have a question to ask you, or rather Sara does".
"Would you do me the honor of giving me away on Saturday"?
"What about Grissom"?
Nick stifled a laugh.
"That's what everyone's asking, but we've decided to make him Godfather". Nick said.
"Yeah, Nick said he's going to make him an offer he can't refuse".
"Oh, no he's been watching too much Marlon Brando". Brass said laughing.
"So"? Sara asked.
"I'd love to give you away. I also know that I'll be giving you away to a wonderful guy who will take care of both of you for as long as you both shall need it".
"Thank you Jim, thank you so much". Sara said hugging Brass and giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
Nick hugged the older gentleman and thanked him as well.
Nick decided he was going to grill out, that way they could enjoy their new deck again.
A/N: I love the reviews I've been getting. Hopefully, I'll have another chapter out tomorrow all in time for the Saturday nuptials. R/R
