AN Okay I know I know it's taken me forever and a day to get this up...I hope it was worth the wait for you guys if not I'm really sorry:p Either way R&R. :)

Greg's POV

I can't do this. Every time I hear her scream it makes me wince. This is insane! Okay it was insane when she told me she was pregnant. It was also nuts when she actually agreed to get a house with me. It was even WEIRDER when she started to really show. I sighed.

Right now Sara Sidle is having my baby and I am completely freaked out!

"Greg?" Catherine has this ability to sound completely maternal and look hot doing it. I'll never figure that out. "What's going on?"

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "She's about halfway there and ornery." I winced, "I won't repeat to you what she told me to do to, my, uh, self."

Catherine grinned, "Remember she still loves you, she's just in a hell of a lot of pain right now. I won't even get into what I said to Eddie when Lindsey was born."

"Yeah I can only take so much man hating in one day and from my girlfriend is bad enough." I sighed and scrunched up my face, "Labour is an interesting process."

Slinging her arm around my shoulder and guiding me back into Sara's room Catherine quipped, "Wait till the birth Sanders, that's an experience in and of itself."

I couldn't believe it when she was finally pushing. This was really happening, Sara Sidle, was having my baby. Right this moment, dear GOD does she have a tight grip. I think my fingers are going to need therapy.

"Don't you get wistful on me Greg!" She said through gritted teeth looking at me with a rather frightening look I gotta say, "Now is not the damn time!" She cried out in pain then and I winced, not for her, for the welfare of my poor fingers.

The doctor came out from under the sheet. You know I don't know what I'd do if it were my job to stare in that general area of a woman on a regular basis. Especially now, it just looked, yeah I'm not gonna go there. "You're almost there Sara, the baby's crowning, I'm just going to need you to push really hard during the next contraction."

"Because I haven't been pushing for the last hour and a half," Sara growled.

"You can do this Sara,"I tried to reassure her.

"I don't have a damn choice do I?" She snapped then cried out.

"Now Sara!" The doctor said, "Push!"

You ever have that moment where everything starts to go in slow motion? Well one of those happened to me then. I've only ever had a few of those moments and most of them have been around Sara. Now it's happening at the moment of our baby's birth. Dear God does she have an insane grip on my hand.

Then I heard the most beautiful sound in the world, "You have a beautiful baby girl." The doctor said as I listened to her crying, "Do you want to cut the chord?"

So this is strange I have done a number of things forensically but it's different when you are cutting something attached to the two most important people in your life. I watched my daughter crying as I did it, "Wow," I finally said as they put her on Sara's stomach, "Look what we made."

She smiled at me for the first time that day and had tears in her eyes, "She's gorgeous."

I kissed her forehead, "Just like her mother."

"I love you," She said.

"I love you too." I really think someone needs to pinch me because I have to be dreaming. I kissed her lightly, "I'm gonna go inform the waiting room."

"Okay," She nodded with tired eyes.

I'll admit it I like dramatics. I walked slowly into the waiting room and silently watched my co-workers. Nick and Warrick were playing a game of cards. Grissom was on the phone while Catherine watched whatever was on the TV.

"I'm a dad," I finally said.

Then everyone was up and around me, I absolutely should not love my job as much as I do. I love what I do for work but I love even more the family I've collected by doing it.

"Way to go Greggo." Nick slapped my back.

"Congratulations," Grissom said.

"Boy or girl?" Warrick asked as Catherine kissed my cheek.

"A girl," I said wistfully, "And she's gorgeous."

"Which is hard to believe looking at you," Nick said with a laugh.

"See if I ask you to be the godfather now." I said with a grin.

"Well wait, I didn't mean…" He trailed off then smacked my arm, "Were you serious?"

"You're my best friend," I said seriously, "Why not?"

"Sweet!" He beamed, "Let's all go to the nursery and look at my goddaughter."

Catherine linked her arm with me, "I'm proud of you Greg." She said with a smile, "Now go be with Sara, we'll ogle your daughter."

I smiled at her, "Okay."

"I'd marry her if I were you." She said.

"Oh I plan to," I winked.

I'd bought the ring already I was just waiting for the right time. It turned out that time was right after we named our daughter. Maggie Lee. We got to talking about what her last name would be and I suggested they both make it Sanders.

Someone still needs to pinch me, my life is too good, maybe Sara and I should try for a boy in a couple years.
