Chapter 21
Summary: Gil paints the nursery as a surprise to Catherine while she's out shopping with Sara.
A/N: I have no inspiration to continue this story. Thank you to those who stuck with it through 21 chapters. I've also changed the name of the baby girl Grissom. I know people hate Sophia-but since it's my story and I've always like the name that's what it will be-except it will be Madalyn Sophia Grissom….and the male is Jack William Grissom. The name change will take place next chapter.
Catherine was out with Sara, Lindsey and Mia and Gil was at home with Greg, Warrick, Nick and JT.
The girls decided to grab something to eat in the food court before shopping.
"Can I pick out some outfits for the babies"? Lindsey asked looking from her mom to Sara.
"Sure thing kiddo, you picked out that handsome outfit for JT at Christmas time and he looked just like his Dad". Sara replied with a huge smile.
Lindsey smiled as she finished her French fries.
The girls threw away their garbage and headed for Old Navy Baby first and then would proceed to Baby Gap.
"Oh my, that has to be the sweetest little dress I've ever seen". Catherine said looking at what Mia was holding up.
Mia held up a white floral dress with small lavender flowers and a lavender cardigan to match.
"I think you both should get one for the girls". Mia said smiling holding up the smallest one.
Sara took one and put it in her cart as did Catherine.
They paid for the few things they bought and headed out towards Baby Gap.
Lindsey picked out a soft pink 2 pc out fit that was part of the 'Barnyard Friends' collection that had a duck on it for Isabella and a pair of pajama's for Abbie and a pair for Jack.
Abbie's were pink with a zebra on the front and pin stripped bottoms and for Jack she picked out a set that said 'Pint Size' with a cow on the shirt and pin stripped bottoms.
After leaving 'Baby Gap' they went into a store where they had baptism gowns.
Sara found one that was just perfect as did Catherine.
Sara picked one out that was called Madeline style and Catherine picked out the Laci style and the Mason versions.
"Oh, Cath, Sara those are beautiful". Mia said looking at the gowns more closely.
"Well, I think we are done for the time being". Sara said stifling a yawn.
Catherine nodded, "I could use a nap myself".
Mia smiled, "Thanks for letting me tag along".
"You're godmother of little Bella here". Sara said rubbing her stomach.
"And, I'm so proud that you've picked me". Mia replied smiling.
"You've been so good to me and JT loves you and you dating Nicky's best friend so you're part of the family now".
Catherine smiled, "Don't tell Greg you said that".
"Greg is one of my best friends and so I think it all works out ok". Sara replied.

The guys were listening to music, painting the walls when the phone rang.
"Hello"?
"Hey baby, we're heading home we're just going to drop Mia off at Rick's and we'll be there in a bit".
Grissom smiled, "Alright, I love you Catherine".
"I love you too Gil".
They hung up and Grissom told everyone to get a move on so that the room could be finished by the time Catherine walked in the door.
Grissom had blocked off the nursery for the last week because he was busy putting a bassinet and crib together among other things.
"Catherine is going to absolutely love this, especially the beautiful artwork". Nick said smiling.
"I hope so Wendy Walls is one of the best in the business of painting rooms for babies". Grissom replied.
The room was made up of Noah's ark and a Cubs mobile over Jack's crib and a butterfly mobile over Abby's crib. Grissom had talked to Lindsey about both she and Abby being his butterflies, and she decided she could live with that as long as he was still ok with her calling him Dad.
Grissom smiled at the thought as he finished hanging up the mobile for his soon to be baby daughter.
Grissom thought about her name and he wasn't so sure about it anymore.
Little did he know that Catherine was feeling the same exact way.
