Chapter 19
Summary: Catherine, Sara, Nick and Grissom talk over baby names.
A/N: Sorry I haven't been updating much. I've been busy looking for a job while working a PT job. Hope this chapter is ok. I've picked the names out for both the Stokes and Grissom babies.
Grissom was in the kitchen making sandwiches for his girls, while they relaxed out by the pool.
"Mom, I have some ideas about names for the twins". Lindsey said putting her cold glass on top of Catherine's belly.
"Well, as soon as your dad gets out her with my peanut butter and green olive sandwich and your turkey sandwich we'll talk about names". Catherine replied smiling.
Grissom came out with a fresh pitcher of lemonade, water and beer for himself.
"Here is your PB&J with olives". Grissom said making a face putting it in front of Catherine.
"That's disgusting mom"!
Catherine just smiled, "Yum, this is soooo good".
Grissom placed Lindsey's turkey BLT in front of her and she smiled.
"Desdemona"! Gil blurted
"What"? Lindsey questioned.
"We should name our little girl Desdemona".
"No Shakespeare names". Catherine said giving Grissom a look.
Lindsey put the book of baby names on the table and opened it to the ones she had flagged as possibilities.
"You know Aunt Sara and Uncle Nicky picked out a name". Lindsey said paging through the names.
"They picked a name and didn't tell us"? Catherine questioned.
"Yep, and I'm not telling you". Lindsey replied giggling.
Catherine smiled and shook her head.
"If I remember correctly, I was the one who thought of the name Lindsey". Grissom said smiling.
"Did you really"?
"Yes, he did sweetie. Eddie was off high and drunk and Dad was my birthing coach".
"You were the most beautiful thing, your mom fell asleep shortly after feeding you so I held you for about 4 hours and watched you sleep and then you opened your eyes and looked up at me and smiled and cooed".
Catherine had tears stinging her eyes, "You never told me that".
Gil smiled, "That was one of the happiest days of my life. You reached up with your hand and wrapped it around my finger and the name Lindsey popped into my head and when I said it for the first time you looked up at me and smiled".
Lindsey had started crying.
"I'm sorry I made you cry kiddo". Grissom said tapping his leg for her to come and sit on his lap.
Lindsey got up and gave Grissom a hug.
"I love you Dad, thank you for adopting me".
Grissom held her in his arms.
"I love you too butterfly".
Catherine smiled and wiped a tear that had fallen.
"Alright, time to talk about names". Grissom said pulling the book more center so they could all look at it.
"Angela"? Grissom suggested.
"Angela Joy Grissom"? Lindsey replied.
"Alright, we'll put that down". Grissom replied writing it down on their baby name list.
"Jack Ryan, Ryan William, Jack William"? Catherine suggested looking from Lindsey to Grissom.
"We could use John but call him Jack"? Lindsey suggested.
"I'm going to put down the names Jack, Ryan and I'll put William under middle name possibilities". Catherine replied.
"How about Samantha and either Rose, Athena or Olivia as middle names"?
"Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom". Grissom replied.
"I like that as a middle name, I like it a lot". Catherine said smiling big.
"I like Isabella". Grissom replied.
"Oh, I love that". Catherine said matter of factly.
Lindsey looked at both of them.
"You can't name my sister Isabella".
"Why not"? Grissom questioned.
"Well, I guess I have to tell you now. That is the name Nick and Sara picked out".
"Isabella Stokes, oh that sounds good". Catherine said.
"Isabella Catherine Stokes and just in case the ultrasound was wrong and they have a boy they've picked the name Aidan Maddox William Stokes". Lindsey said all at once.
Grissom laughed, "Sounds like they're planning on a boy more than a girl".
Lindsey smiled, "They're definitely having a girl because Sara is carrying differently than she did with JT".
"Well, we're planning on one boy and one girl but I suppose we should have two girl names picked out and two boy names just in case". Catherine said writing down a few more names.
"So, what are the names that we've come up with"? Grissom asked.
"Well, between Lindsey and I we have Grace, Olivia, Samantha, Sofia, Madalyn, Christopher, Michael, Ryan, Jack, Brian and Louisa". Catherine said reading off her list.
"Alright, well I have Abaigeal, Annabella, Grace, Natalie, Thomas, William, Jack, Joseph, Elijah and Matthew but spelled Mateo which is the Spanish spelling and it means God's gift". Grissom said reading off his list.
"It looks like you have two of the same names those being Grace and Jack". Lindsey said as she read of her list.
"Well, I actually like Abaigeal Grace and Jack William". Catherine said highlighting those two names.
"Jack means God has been gracious". Lindsey said smiling.
Catherine smiled, "I think we just chose names for our twins".
"I think we did". Grissom replied with a smile.
