"He's gorgeous you guys," Catherine cooed, cradling the baby boy.
"How about giving one of us a turn to hold him?" Greg asked, as Sara smiled from her hospital bed.
The blonde CSI gently handed Benjamin over to the former lab rat,
"Hey there buddy, I'm your Uncle Greg," he said to the baby.
Nick smiled, "You know Sara, we're all gonna spoil that kid rotten."
"You better believe it," added Warrick.
"As long as no one gets him a science kit. I've already got that covered," joked Grissom.
Benjamin began to fuss and Greg rocked him a little,
"Shh, it's alright little guy," the baby began to wail and Greg looked like he was going to panic, "What did I do? What do I do?"
Grissom came over and scooped his son out of the younger man's arms, rocking him gently before handing him to Sara, "It's lunch time," he said simply.
Nick's eyes got a little bigger, and Warrick looked at the floor,
"I guess we better clear out then," Nick said, as the boys moved towards the door.
"Thanks for letting us see him. Don't forget to come visit us at the lab with him," Catherine said, leaving as well.
Grissom shut the door and then moved back towards Sara, settling on the edge of her bed. Benjamin was snuggled close to his mom, much happier since he had gotten what he wanted. Grissom stared at his wife, a grin on his face.
"What?" Sara smirked at him.
"No matter how many dirty diapers, sleepless nights or late night feedings we have to look forward to, I just can't wait to get him home."
"I never would have thought a year ago that we would be sitting here today," Sara sighed.
"Miracles do happen I guess."
"I'm holding one."
Frank noticed the small envelope amongst the clutter of the ER triage desk. He picked it up and began to open it when Abby Lockhart came up beside him.
"What you got there Frank?" she asked curiously.
"Is that a love letter?" Sam teased, appearing on his other side.
"I don't know. If you two would stop yapping I might be able to read it though," he replied sarcastically.
Abby mock pouted, and Sam stood on her tip toes to try to get a better look.
"It's from that woman, you know the pregnant girl who was in the car accident a few months ago. Turned out she was a CSI from Vegas," Frank said.
"Sara, yeah. Is that a picture?" Abby replied, taking it, "Hey, that's the baby, and the guy who came to see her."
"Yeah, it's a thank you card, saying that because of us she has a healthy baby boy, Benjamin, and she got married. She says to personally thank you Abby."
"Oh, that's nice. Sam, look how cute Benjamin is," Abby said, handing the nurse the picture.
Frank looked at the picture while Sam held it and a look of realization flashed in his eyes,
"I finally know who that woman looks like! She's a dead ringer for that doctor who worked here a few years ago. You know, Maggie something."
Abby smiled, "Oh yeah! Maggie Doyle! You're right Frank. The two of them could be twins!"
"Whatever happened to her?" Frank asked.
"Moved on. I wonder where she is now," Abby mused.
"GSW coming in! We need some extra hands," Kovac yelled as Abby and Sam ran to help him.
Frank took the card and picture, taping them from the desk for the rest of the staff to see.
The End
I realized how neglected this story had gotten. I can't really think of where else I would take it without being complete fluff, so I'll end it. Anyone else remember when Jorja Fox was Dr. Maggie Doyle on ER? And George Eads was a paramedic in a few episodes, not to mention Marg's appearance as George Clooney's love interest. I love how my two favourite shows connect! (And I just realized how I don't have a life for knowing those things…LOL! I do have a life, it's just consumed by university.)
Thanks for all the reviews! -L
