"Beautiful it's a girl."
They place the baby on Catherine's chest.
"Why isn't she breathing?"
"Give her a minute." The nurse says as she suctions the baby. The baby though small lets out a wail.
"She's fine."
4:30 Lindsey, Grissom, Sara, Warrick, Greg, and Nick arrive.
"Hey."
"Hey yourself." Sara says as she sits down.
"Mom where is she?"
"Who?"
"The baby?"
"He's on his way up."
"It's not a boy grandma told me it's a girl."
"Fine it's a girl. See there she is right now."
The nurse wheels the baby in and before anyone else can get a look at her Lindsey scoops her up.
"So how big is she, what's her name?"
"Lindsey slown down she's not going anywhere."
"Ok. Now will you answer my questions."
"Yes impatient one. Her name is Olivia Emerson. And she weighs 5 lbs."
"Olivia?"
"Do you have a problem with that name?"
"Yeah, can we call her something else."
"Like what?"
"Liv."
"Fine, but let someone else have a turn."
"Mom."
"You'll get to see her plenty later."
"Fine." Lindsey pouts as she hands Sara the baby.
That night:
After everyone leaves Catherine is lying in bed with Lindsey beside her, and Liv on her chest. Liv is wide awake staring at Catherine with her dark blue eyes with fleck of brown and green around the pupil. The little one is so peaceful and looks like an angel, with wavy brownish red hair, golden skin, and tiny little body. The little girl closes her eyes as Catherine kisses he tiny little head. She's so little, but whenever Catherine looks into her eyes it's as if she can see her pure innocent little soul.
3 days later:
"Mom."
"Lindsey lower your voice you're going to wake the baby up."
"Sorry."
"What do you need?"
"Grissom's here."
"Ok." Catherine says as she puts Liv in her bassinet, and heads downstairs.
"Hi."
"Hi what are you doing here?"
"I just came to drop this stuff off."
"What stuff?"
"Baby gifts from the team."
"Ok, thanks."
"Uh huh." After Grissom leaves Catherine sits down on the couch and opens the gifts. Greg's is a pack of diapers with a note attached that says 'All babie's need diapers right?', Sara's is a little outfit with butterflies on it. Nick's is a music box with a butterfly on it. Grissom's is his beloved moth, And Warricks is a frilly dress, and a card. The card reads: 'I found the dress and had to get it hope you like it. I'm sure she'll look adorable in it.' Who knew Warrick could pick out a dress?
