Chapter 23
Summary: Grissom shows Catherine the twins Nursery
A/N: I'm not ending the story…I'm just not putting in Warrick and Mia's wedding because this is suppose to be a G/C story and it has become more of a G/C and N/S story. I get the sense that no one likes the story because the reviews have pretty much stopped. I may or may not continue after this.
Lindsey came out the doors after school that afternoon to see her parents kissing.
"Mom, Dad my friends are all watching you"! Lindsey said getting in the back of the Denali.
They laughed and proceeded to the hospital for the 4-D ultrasound.
"How was school baby"? Catherine asked.
"It was great, Sal Palengrino kissed me".
"He did WHAT? Who's Sal"? Grissom questioned.
"Lindsey's new crush"! Catherine replied with a smirk.
"He speaks the most beautiful Italian, and since I taught myself last summer we're able to talk to each other and no one knows what we're saying". Lindsey replied smiling.
Grissom looked at Catherine then back at Lindsey.
"He asked me to the movies on Saturday afternoon, I mean if it's ok". Lindsey replied.
"I'd like to meet this Sal before my daughter goes off to a dark movie theater with a hormonal teenager". Grissom said.
"Uncle Greg did a background and criminal check as well as checked AFIS and he's completely clean, other than being on parole".
"PAROLE, what the- -
"I'm kidding Dad, he's clean and he's a US citizen so he's not going to try and get me to marry him so he can stay in the US".
"So, is he a good kisser Linds"?
"MOM, I can't share that sort of thing with you".
"You better believe you can share it with me though". Grissom responded almost firmly.
Lindsey put her face down as if she had been defeated.
"Lindsey, I just don't want something to happen to you I mean in our line of work we see so much".
"I took the self-defense class through the JR. CSI class and I also learned some moves from Uncle Warrick. I won't have sex before I'm married and I promise I'll be careful".
"Alright, we'll introduce ourselves to his parents and have them over for dinner and you and Sal can go for a ride on Flower and Nemo".
Lindsey smiled, "Thank you Dad I know he'll enjoy a horseback ride through the backwoods".
"You'll take Wally with you though because he's an excellent guard dog".
"Alright, I promise". Lindsey replied.
They pulled into the parking lot and walked inside to the Dr's office.
Catherine got into a gown behind a curtain while Grissom and Lindsey waited on the other side.
"Are you ready to really see your babies Mrs. Grissom"?
Catherine smiled, "I sure am".
The doctor put a cool gel on Catherine's stomach and then proceeded with a small instrument.
"There you go, there is the little girl and your little boy is right there". She said moving the instrument a little to the left.
"We picked out names already". Lindsey said proudly.
"Really, what have you decided on"? Doctor Ford questioned.
"We chose Madelyn and Jack". Grissom replied.
Doctor Ford smiled, "What great names".
"Thank you". Catherine replied,
"Well, Mrs. Grissom you're now about 34 weeks along and I'd like to induce labor right at 37 weeks, so you're officially on maternity leave as of Friday so stay in bed as much as possible".
Catherine smiled, "I've actually been out of work for the last week anyways because I can't sit or stand for long periods of time so that shouldn't be a problem".
Doctor Ford smiled, "Good, so why do we schedule your inducement and it's possible a C-Section will be needed but I won't know until I examine you".
Grissom smiled as he kissed Catherine and left the room with Lindsey.
The doctor checked Catherine and she was already dilated 3cm.
"Is that to much too early"? Catherine asked.
"No, but I want to see you again the day after tomorrow and then again three times next week and the week after that".
"Thank you doctor, how about July 29 for the babies"? Catherine suggested.
"Sounds good and we'll make it for 6 am, ok"?
"Alright"! Catherine said as she finished getting dressed and grabbed the 5 pictures from the ultrasound.
"So, mom when are the babies coming"? Lindsey asked.
"They'll be here in a couple of weeks possibly sooner. I'm already 3cm dilated so that means I only have 7 more cm's to go".
"What if you and Aunt Sara have your babies on the same day"? Lindsey asked again.
"Well, we were going to try and plan around that so I could be with her but I can't move around so well and I'm to be on bed rest until the babies inducement day but if that happens Sara and I are going to try and get a room together or at least next to each other". Catherine smiled.
"I'm staying with Uncle Warrick and Mia while you're in the hospital right"?
"That's right, is that ok"? Grissom asked.
"Yeah, I just want to be here when the babies come".
"Don't worry you will definitely be here to see Madelyn and Jack when they arrive". Catherine said.
"Good, I'm happy to hear that". Lindsey replied hugging her Mom and Dad as the drove back home.
