Oh also wanna say !Hola! to Tigger, Diana, and Sara (think spanish class ladies)!
Read On people!

Linds looks stunned, "You…… and Uncle Gil?…… Married?… This… this is so cool! When did you get engaged? Are you having a huge wedding? When do we start planning?…"

I sigh and look to Gil who also looks relieved. Pulling into the drive of my house, Lindsey still rambling on, I get out, and grab some of her stuff out of the trunk, and head for the door. I walk to Lindsey's room with a spring in my step, her reaction just made my day. "Honey," I say to my daughter, "Put your things away, then we all need to talk."

"Ok mom. What do we need to talk about?"

"Some things, but young lady, I will remind you, this needs to stay a secret. And, don't start asking questions, we'll explain in a little bit."

"Alright."

I walk to the kitchen, where Gil is standing, looking uncertain of what he should do with himself. I grin and plaster myself to his chest, moving my hips gently against his. His groan is soft, but I hear it, I feel it. I mould our mouths together, kissing deeply. When we break for air he moans, "Fuck, Cath, don't do that! It's bound to lead to something that I don't think you want your daughter to witness."

"But you taste so good," I pout, and without hesitation, I lean in and kiss him again.

From the doorway, a giggle is followed by, "Get a room!"

Gil and I jump apart like two guilty teenagers. My daughter grinning all the while. "So, mother, what are we gunna talk about? Cause you know I know all about.."

"Yes," I quickly head her away from anything that has to do with sex, "I know that honey, that's not what we're going to talk about."

"Oh, Ok."

We all head to the living room, which I had the sense to clean up a day previous, the day of my date. When seated I look to Gil to see how he wants to start this, and he begins, "Lindsey, I'm very glad that you're happy with our engagement, but we really want to keep it a secret for a while longer. At work…."

As Gil talks, my mind jumps to when I found out I was pregnant with Lindsey. An alarming thought is triggered from that, What if… What if I'm pregnant? Would Gil still want to be with me? Would Lindsey still be alright with our marriage? What if something goes wrong? Fighting the urge to throw up on the floor, I bolt from the couch, and run to the toilet.

Two concerned voices follow me, and the caring, concerned face of Griss is the first thing I see when I look up from the toilet. I manage an incoherent sound before I lean back over to puke the rest of my guts out. I feel a large hand rubbing soothing circles on my back, and a voice telling Lindsey to put some blankets on the couch, and find a bucket of some sorts. When little feet are heard running away, I sit back, moaning. "Sweetheart," Gil murmurs, "What happened back there? Are you sick?"

"Thought… might… pregnant," I garble, and I tilt my head back over the toilet as I feel sick, this time I simply bring up air, there's nothing left in my stomach.

Gil patiently waits for me to sit back, and asks, "You thought you might be what? I didn't hear the last word."

My mind is somewhere else, it must be, I manage to splutter, "Pregnant." Before I break down in his arms and cry. He holds me tight, and I hear Lindsey come back. "Mom, are you ok? You didn't look sick earlier. Do you want me to get you something?"

I just sob even louder. I hear Griss say something about looking for crackers. Then I feel strong arms lift me up and carry me into the living room, setting me on the couch. I hear him walk away, and make a noise of protest. "I'll be right back Cath, I promise I won't leave you alone."

In the kitchen a conversation is going on, and I can just barely make out the words.

"Dad, is that ok if I call you that?"

I don't hear a response, he must have nodded, because Lindsey continues, "Dad, I'll go back to… Can I go to Sara's house?" That makes me smile slightly, her and Sara have always gotten along.

"I'll call her and see."

I hear a phone being picked up and numbers being dialed, then, "Sara? Hi, it's Grissom…. No I'm at Catherine's…… Yes, that's where I've been for the last couple of days…. No, she's not feeling well… Yes, Lindsey's here. That's why I'm calling. Can she come stay with you for awhile?…. That'd be great… Ok… Uh-huh… Right, see you in a few."

"Annnnnnnnnnnd?"

"Yes, Lindsey. She would be thrilled to have you stay over for a couple days."

"Ok, I'll go get my stuff ready."

Footsteps echo in two separate directions, and a hand gently rests on my forehead. "When she's gone, we need to talk, ok Cath?"

"MmmmmHmmmm…"

"Be right back."

I hear a horn beep out in the driveway, and Lindsey comes into the room. "Hey Mom, I'll see you in a few days. I hope you feel better. Oh, I won't tell Sara about the wedding, I promise." With that I hear the front door shut, and a car pull out of the drive.

Gil comes back to my side, and gently says, "Now that we're alone…" And sweeps me into his arms, "Now, tell me what you meant in the bathroom."

I start crying again, silent tears that blaze a trail down my face, "Do I have to?"

"Yes."

I sigh, and his fingers softly wipe away my tears, then I begin, "I thought about how I had learned I was going to have Lindsey, and that made me think… I might be pregnant. Then I felt sick because…. Because I thought you would leave me if I was pregnant."

"Cath, Nothing would make me happier than to have a child with you." His voice is gentle, reassuring, "You said you were on the pill, how could you get pregnant?"

"You have to take one a day, or the effect wears off. I didn't take one the morning after our first night together, and we… we made love the next night."

"If it really bothers you, if you really need to know, we could go buy a kit, but it wouldn't work very well, since we only might have conceived baby last night."

"So, you won't leave me?"

"Never. Cath, do you remember what I said to you last night?"

"I heard 'I love you' a few times."

"No, just before we fell asleep I said, 'I love you. I adore you. I want to be with you for an eternity."

I smile happily at my lover, and gently whisper, "In case baby wasn't conceived last night, can we try again later?"
