Chapter 18

Summary: Gil and Catherine are back from their honeymoon.

A/N: I got a review how it was basically impossible for Sara to have leukemia and be pregnant-so I went back and found the info I used to back up that it WASN'T impossible: The survival of pregnant and non-pregnant women with acute leukemia has improved with the availability of modern chemotherapy and supportive care. Remission rates are of 70-75 for pregnant women. No fetal malformations and no late side effects have been reported in children born to mothers who were treated for acute leukemia during early pregnancy. Sara also has one of the most treatable forms of cancer which is CML.

Warrick, Mia and Lindsey waited for Grissom and Catherine to get off their plane.

Lindsey saw them approach the end of the walkway so she ran towards them.

She gave them each a great big hug.

"Hey sweetie, we missed you so much". Grissom said picking her up and spinning her around.

"I missed you to Dad". Lindsey replied hugging him once again.

Lindsey looked at Catherine's belly that had grown quite a bit in 2 weeks.

"How are the twins treating you"? Mia asked hugging Catherine.

"Oh, they've been treating me well. I feel great". Catherine replied with a smile.

Warrick and Grissom were talking about what they did on the honeymoon.

"It was so hot, we stayed inside a lot but there were plenty of things to do". Grissom replied with a smirk.

Warrick just laughed and smirked back.

Lindsey, Catherine and Mia were busy chatting while they waited for the luggage to start moving around the baggage claim.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Catherine, Grissom and Lindsey were dropped back off at their house and decided to have everyone over to share pictures and stories.

After everyone arrived, Catherine started in with how Grissom swam with huge sting rays and how one dolphin 'kissed' Catherine's belly.

The girls thought that was sweet.

Catherine started laughing.

"What's so funny Cath"? Warrick asked.

"There was this turtle that was chasing Gil, it was hilarious I swear I was laughing so hard I could have had the twins right there on the beach.

"SQUIRT"! JT squealed.

"Yes, it was baby sea turtle and it wanted to play with Gil but he thought it was trying to attack him". Catherine said trying so hard not to laugh.

Everyone was in stitches.

"I have something to share with you guys". Sara said interrupting quick between silences.

Everyone looked at her including Nick who had no idea what she was about to say.

"What's wrong"? Greg asked with a worried tone.

"Nothing, I'm great. I'm in remission and hopefully this time it's for a good long time".

Everyone smiled and Nick started crying.

"Are you sure"? Catherine asked.

"Yes, they took the test 3 different times just to be sure. In fact I've been in remission for three weeks and the baby is doing great she's just perfect in fact".

Nick looked at Sara, "She"?

Sara smiled, "Yes, we're going to have a little girl".

Catherine smiled, "We also found out that we're having one of each".

"Congratulations"! Nick said.

"Yeah, congratulations man"! Warrick replied.

"Thanks guys"! Grissom said smiling.

"I think we should get going". Nick said looking to Sara.

"Yeah, JT needs to get to bed because he's been up late for the past few nights with Lindsey". Sara replied smiling.

Lindsey went over by JT who was sitting next to Sara rubbing her belly.

"Ti amo il mio insetto piccolo dolce". Lindsey said looking at JT.

"Ii amo"! JT replied hugging Lindsey goodnight.

Grissom looked at Sara.

"When did your son learn Italian"?

"From Lindsey, she's been teaching him more sign language and now German and Italian". Sara said with a chuckle.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After everyone left Grissom, Catherine and Lindsey cuddled for awhile. Grissom and Catherine were worried about how Lindsey would make the transition from being an only child to having a new brother and sister.

"Lindsey, how do you feel about your mom having twins"? Grissom asked as he rubbed her back gently.

"I'm happy, I won't be alone anymore and I'll have someone to play with all the time". Lindsey said cuddling against Grissom.

Catherine looked upset.

"What's wrong mom"?

Catherine looked down at Lindsey, "I'm sorry that I haven't paid more attention to you recently".

Lindsey smiled at Catherine.

"I love you mom, you've been a wonderful mom to me and I wouldn't replace you for anyone in the world".

"Not even Sara"? Catherine questioned.

"I love Auntie Sara, but I could never live with her permanently". Lindsey replied with a chuckle.

Lindsey gently rubbed Catherine's belly and put her head down on it.

"They're kicking up a storm, can you feel that"? Lindsey asked excitedly.

After Lindsey got no response she looked up to see her mom and dad fast asleep. Grissom had his hand protectively over Catherine's stomach with his other hand intertwined with hers.

She covered them with a blanket, gave them both a kiss and went off to bed herself.

A/N: Translation for Ti amo il mio insetto piccolo dolce- I love you my sweet little bug and Ti amo- I love you (all in Italian).
