"Twins" repeated Sara as they sat in bed.
"Yes I think I've got the point," said Grissom getting under the covers with her.
"Two"
"That would be the amount with twins"
"Gil" Sara snapped
"Sorry it's just you seem to be stuck on twins" he smiled taking her hand "well be fine you can hold one and I'll hold the other we can swap after every hour" with that he got a smile out of Sara.
"We need two of everything," said Sara "do you think the spare rooms going to be big enough?"
"For now I think they may want separate room when they're older but for now its will be fine ill start clearing it out tomorrow"
"We could by one of everything and they could take it in turns teach them to share" smiled Sara
"Sounds like they'll end up on Jerry Springer"
"You now what that is?" asked Sara slightly surprised.
"Yes" smiled Grissom turning the light off.
"You never cease to amaze me," replied Sara.
One hour later and Grissom was woke by his wife.
"Gris are you awake?" asked Sara nudging his shoulder "I can't get to sleep talk to me" she poked him again "Grissom are you awake?" getting no response she tried for the direct approach "I'm carrying your children and you wont even wake up to talk to me" she said loud enough to stir him.
"What children wake up what?" asked Grissom slowly coming to "what time is it" he asked trying to make Sara out through the dark.
"Ten" replied Sara "I can't sleep I'm used to sleeping in the day haven time off is not something I'm used to" she said tuning a light on and almost blinding Grissom.
"Have you tried counting sheep?" he asked as Sara glared at him.
"Ok have you tried reading?"
"Yes I read Catherine's list of things I need to do for the wedding and even that didn't' send me to sleep"
"Think about the fact your choosing you dress tomorrow," said Grissom
"I'm going to be huge I'm going to grow twice as fast and have to give birth twice"
there was no way Grissom was getting back to sleep now.
"Ok I'm up what do you want to do?" he asked getting out of bed
"Walk"
"Wlak, Sara going for a walk even around our neighbour hood at night is not the best idea I think you know that form what we've seen"
"I'll have you with me, please" asked Sara her eyes penetrating him he gave in.
"Fine"
"You know what I fancy?" asked Sara getting out of bed already dressed.
"No, Sara why are you dressed?" asked Grissom pulling some trousers on.
"Popcorn, we haven't got nay I've looked" smiled Sara as Grissom finished getting dressed.
"So that is what you woke me up for you wanted popcorn and your already dressed because?" he asked making his way out the bedroom followed by Sara.
"I knew you'd say yes" she smiled as Grissom picked his gun up and paced his holster around himself.
"Grissom you have to be prompted to get your gun out at a scene but your taking it for a walk?" asked Sara putting her jacket on.
"I'm going for a walk to a convenience store late at night so my pregnant wife can have popcorn, I'm taking it" he replied picking up the house keys and opening the door for Sara.
"So you're going to be over protective"
"After what we've seen this is just protective enough" he replied locking the door as Sara slipped her hand into his and they began walking down the street.
"So is me been sent to get you food at all hours going to be a every ay thing because if it is I'll stock up on weird foods"
"Popcorn's not weird," replied Sara pouting.
"Next you'll be wanting me to buy you chicken" smiled Grissom getting punched in the arm.
"Do not talk about meat" warned Sara "so what do you think the other swill say when they find out we've having twins?" asked Sara
"I think Catherine will do the same as you ad repeat it for hours," replied Grissom getting punched in the arm again.
"I'm I going to get hit all though this pregnancy because I'll get some padding"
Sara raised her arm to him again but stopped and smiled.
Ten minutes later and they were stood in a deserted twenty-four hours shop starring at shelves of sweets.
"I don't' know which one I want" pouted Sara looking at the popcorn.
"I'll buy al of them if it will keep you happy " smiled Grissom as she picked up a bag and they went to pay for it.
"Do you think we should have got more than one?" asked Grissom as they left the shop Sara already tucking into her popcorn.
"No I'll want something different after this" smiled Sara as Grissom raised his eyebrows at her.
"We'll I'm driving back to get it" he said as she yawned.
Five minutes later and Grissom was carrying a bag of half eaten popcorn on one hand and the other safely wrapped around Sara waist her head resting on his shoulder as her feet ambled forwards been dragged with the motion of his.
"Sara honey were nearly there come on" he nudged her slight but got no response
"Ok come on" with that he stopped and walked slightly in front taking Sara's arms and wrapping them around his neck.
"Ok your going to have to help me a bit" he encouraged having difficulty wrapping his arms round her legs but with a bit of help form Sara his was able to lift her so her head lay against his back and her legs wrapped around his middle. She looked almost child like been carried home by the parents. It took longer to walk home piggybacking Sara but eventually after much fumbling with the keys he made it inside.
Grissom was woke the next morning once again by his wife but this time it was the toilet flushing that woke him not a finger poking him in the side.
"Hey how are you?" asked Grissom as a apple looking Sara mad her way back into the room.
"I don't' want popcorn anymore" she moaned falling face first onto the bed and laying down, unfortunately with multiple birth morning sickness tended to be worse.
"Want me to make you a drink?" asked Grissom getting up and rubbing her back sympathetically.
"Umpgh" came the reply from Sara who was still laid face down in the sheets.
"You get to go choose you dress today," said Grissom trying to cheer her up.
"Yeah" answered Sara with mock enthusiasm.
"Look" she cried following him into the kitchen and pulling at her pyjama bottoms. "I need elasticised waists I can't get in my jeans then only trousers I can get in are tracksuit bottoms" she pouted turning sideways to emphasise the small bump in her shape.
"I think it's beautiful" smiled Grissom placing a hand on her abdomen.
"You say that now," warned Sara been handed a glass f water.
"I will always say that" he smiled "so we need to go clothes shopping?" he asked disappearing into the bedroom and getting dressed.
"No I'm not wearing maternity clothes yet," shouted Sara.
"Come on what time are we meeting them?" shouted Grissom as Sara reluctantly went through to get dressed
"Ten" she replied putting her drink down.
"Where are they?" asked Greg impatiently tapping his finger in the table. Nick, Warrick Greg and Catherine were sat on a wooden bench in a park in Western waiting for Sara and Grissom to meet them. Sara and Catherine were going dress shopping while the men were going back to work that night so were taking Grissom to see a baseball game whether he wanted to or not.
"Here they come," shouted Nick pointing to the two of them walking up to the table. Sara was dressed on a brown tee shirt with a pair or brown slacks on with the buttons undone under her tee shirt.
"Come on then have you got a photo?" asked Greg excitedly.
"Anyone would think your having the baby," mocked Warrick as Sara and Grissom sat down.
"Here" Grissom pulled out a card and opened it to reveal a sonogram picture.
"Oh I don't se it" said Greg disappointed.
"It's hard," said Grissom putting it down on the table
"You see that" he traced a out line with his finer "that is baby A and that is Baby B" he smiled waiting for a reaction.
"Twins" shouted Catherine throwing herself across the table and hugging Sara.
"Oh wow man two that's going to be fun" smiled Nick
"Congratulations again" added Warrick.
"You can have one each" smiled Greg getting punched in the arm by Sara.
"I think that's a pregnant thing hitting people" smiled Grissom as Greg rubbed at his arm."
So are we going shopping then?" asked Cath smiling at Sara.
"If you know a good tent shop" replied Sara "look a can do my trousers up anymore" she added pulling her top up and revealing the undone buttons.
"Yer your going to get twice as big" said Greg
"Thanks Greg" said Grissom as Sara pouted at him
"Come on shopping will cheer you up" said Cath dragging Sara away
