"How was breakfast?" Sara asked Gil as he entered the room, finishing her breakfast which was Cheerios, milk and mixed fruit.
"Pretty good. She must be enjoying herself," He nodded to Catherine who was still walking around the room holding Elizabeth.
Gil sat on the edge of Sara's bed. He was hiding a small picture frame behind his back.
"Sar I have something for you."
He handed her the picture frame with a smile.
It was a picture of Sara and Elizabeth, right after she had been born.
"Oh, thank you," She whispered as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"All right. Take this child away from me; My arms are numb. Not that you're heavy, Liz. No you're not," She laughed as she laid the infant in her crib.
Gil and Sara both fixed their eyes on the wiggling baby.
"Hey, why don't you go call the rest of them? I suppose they should get a look at her," Sara softly said to Gil.
He kissed Sara on the cheek before leaving the room.
Once again Sara placed her index finger in Elizabeth's hand; She instantly pulled her mother's finger into her mouth and began sucking on it.
"Liz, that's just wrong. Catherine can you make a bottle for me?"
Catherine giggled as she walked over to the sink and began making a bottle; The communication between the mother and daughter was priceless. Sara was such a good mother.
The newborn begun to fuss just as Catherine popped the bottle into the microwave.
"Just a few more seconds," Sara whispered.
She gently lifted the baby from her crib and cuddled her against her chest; Both Catherine and Wendy had suggested it. Evidently infants like hearing their mother's breathing and heartbeats.
"Here Sara," Catherine softly said as she handed the bottle to the brunette.
Sara seemed to have become an old pro at feeding Elizabeth in a matter of days; Catherine found it astounding that she had picked up on it so quickly, seeing that Liz was her first child.
"Hey, look who I found out in the waiting room," Gil exclaimed as he entered followed by Nick, Greg and Warrick.
Sara mouthed the words "Shut up" at the group and continued feeding the baby in her arms.
Gil lead the men over to the couch and they all sat down; Catherine quietly hugged everyone. Even Greg.
"Griss said her name is Sara Elizabeth Grissom. But you guys aren't married," Greg whispered. He had faced the wrath of Sara one too many times and he really didn't want to experience it again.
Gil smiled.
"Um, no we're not married… Yet."
Nick shook hands with his boss.
Everyone in the lab had been waiting for it to happen; They all had seem the chemistry and knew it was just a matter of time.
"Way to go!"
Sara gave him a warning glance as she shifted Liz to her right shoulder to burp her.
"Hey guys, what do you say we head down to the gift shop to pick up a few things for Sara and Elizabeth?" Catherine asked.
"But we just got here!" Greg whined as Catherine, Nick and Warrick pushed him out the door.
"Yes, I know. But if you shut up, we'll bring you back," Gil heard Warrick's muffled voice say from outside the window.
He stood and walked over to Sara's bed; Elizabeth had been burped and Gil had expected her to fall asleep but she was still wide awake.
"Hey beautiful," He said to Sara and Elizabeth.
Sara smiled as she sighed; She was quite tired but really didn't want to fall asleep. She wanted to spend as much time as possible with Elizabeth.
"Want me to take her?" Gil asked.
Sara only nodded.
Gil picked the infant up from her mother's arms and slowly began walking around the room; His favorite thing to do when Liz was in his arms.
He had more confidence now that he had held her a few times. He loved talking to her as she wiggled in his arms.
"Liz, you need to settle down. Momma's tired so you have to be quiet," He whispered to the infant as he glanced over at Sara to see if she was still up.
But she was already fast asleep.
