"Sara are you ready?" Gil asked as he looked around the room one last time to make sure they hadn't forgotten anything.
His arms were loaded with bags from the gift shop and things from the hospital; They had even given the couple a new car seat for Elizabeth!
"I think so," Sara replied with a hint of nervousness in her voice. As much as she wanted to go home, she also wanted to stay in the hospital; That way the nurses could tell her if she was doing something wrong.
She lifted car seat Liz was strapped into and peaked under the blanket that was covering it so no cold air got in; Liz was holding onto the plush butterfly Warrick had bought her.
"Let's go," She smiled.
Wendy, Sara's favorite nurse, wished them good luck and helped them make sure Liz's car seat was securely fastened before waving them off.
Gil eagerly climbed into the driver's seat while Sara got in the back of the Tahoe to sit with Elizabeth.
"Are you sure we didn't forget anything?" He asked one last time.
Sara shot him a warning glance and he started the car as quickly as possible.
The drive to Sara's apartment was eventful; Gil refused to go above 15 miles per hour and at every stop sign he turned around to make sure everything was okay.
When Liz began coughing half a block away from the apartment, Gil slammed on the breaks.
"What's wrong with her? Should we go back?" He frantically asked; Normally he wasn't this nervous.
Sara removed the blanket and they both peered into the car seat.
"She's fine. Look, she's smiling," Sara reassured Gil.
After letting out a sigh of relief, he began driving again.
He pulled into the first empty space he saw outside the apartment.
"We're here!" He announced happily.
Sara unbuckled her seatbelt first then did the same to the one holding Liz's car seat in place.
She got out of the vehicle and carefully pulled the car seat out after her.
"Liz, we're here," Sara whispered to the infant.
Gil lead the way up to Sara's apartment, unlocked the door and gestured for Sara to enter.
Groceries covered the small island in the kitchen; Everything from bananas to baby formula.
Sara gasped; She never had groceries and because she hated going to the grocery store, most of the time she ate out. She was happy to see she wouldn't have to do that.
"Let's take her into the nursery," Gil said.
Sara followed him back to the room, removing the blanket covering the car seat so Liz could see her new living situation.
Sara lifted the car seat up onto her bed and unbuckled the infant.
After looking around the room with a huge smile, Sara lifted Elizabeth out of the seat and carried her over to the white crib.
"She looks happy," Gil smiled.
He was so glad to be home.
He watched as Sara gently laid squirming Elizabeth down in her crib and turned on the mobile.
She stood there for quite a while, just watching Liz look around; Watching Liz always made Sara feel better.
This time it seemed to make her nervousness vanish.
Gil walked up beside Sara and wrapped his arm around her slender shoulders; He had waited a long time to stand there with her and look down at their daughter.
"Sar, I finally got a ring," He whispered.
Liz's eyes were now closed; Sara suspected the mobile had put her to sleep.
With his free hand Gil took Sara's hand in his and slipped a ring so gorgeous on it that it made Sara gasp.
Liz cooed in her sleep and Gil pulled Sara away from the crib so not to wake the infant.
"Wow. I love it. Of course, I still love you more," She teased before kissing him.
Gil gladly kissed her back; He was happy they could finally kiss without the hospital nurses discreetly watching as they made their rounds.
