35- 7 Months Too Soon

She was tired and her feet hurt more than they had for days. She was just in her 7th month and alone in her apartment. Nick had left 4 nights prior do tie up some loose ends in California, a case that had a mass murderer killing in Vegas but was residing in the warm California. As much as she wanted to go and voiced her words to Grissom, she couldn't.

In fact he had then realized how far she was and decided to banish her to the lab until further notice.

She was hungry. She didn't want to get up because her feet were red and sore as she spoke to them. "You're sore and I haven't seen you in weeks." She groaned as she reluctantly stood and traipsed into her nicely colored kitchenette. Just as she reached her fridge her cell phone went off and she groaned as she answered it hastily.

"Aren't you happy to hear from me?"

There was a pause from Alyssa's end. "My feet hurt."

"Poor baby, I'll be home tomorrow, can you last till then?"

Another long pause, "I- Don't know- Nick-"

She was cut off by a sharp pain running through her abdomen.

"Lys are you al-"

"Shit no-" Her words were trailed by a load groan.

He had originally called to talk to her about something that had been running through his mind for weeks, "Should I call Sara for you?"

No answer.

"Ly wh-"

"Water… broke- Sara-"

"Ok I'm calling Sara now-"

"She's at Grissom's." She breathed.

"Grissom- Really are they-"

"NICK. Call her, please."

"Ok-Ok I will. Hold on Lys." He panicked as he searched his hotel bed for his cell phone. Once Nick found it he dialed Grissom's number and waited for an answer.

"I need to talk to Sara it's important." He pleaded with Grissom who in turn did as he was asked.

"Nick what's wrong?" She asked.

"It's Lys, her water broke she needs you there to take her to the hospital."

"Nick, it's to-"

"Early I know, but this baby's coming out now and I'm about to book it home." He said tossing things in bag.

"I'll be right over. The emergency bag is in the hall closet right?"

"Yes. I-I think so." He stopped dead in his tracks. Was it?

"I'm leaving now." She spoke into the phone one last time then hung up and grabbed Grissom's arm and keys. "You may have your lab rat back sooner then you expected. She's going into labor let's go." Sara tugged on Grissom's arm and pulled him out the door, grabbing his keys on the way out.

Nick sat on the bed and held the phone to his ears. "Baby?" He spoke softly, only to hear Alyssa whimper in pain. "Sara's on her way. I'm booking a flight and flying out now."

He heard the mother of his child whisper and 'ok.' "Sara's going to grab the emergency bag, and you're going to go to the hospital okay?"

"Mhm-Oh god." She cried.

"Lys, listen to me, breathe like the doctor told you and everything will be ok. I'll be home in a few hours and I'll be right by your side, I love you." I can't lose you, I need you, I need us…

"I-Loveyoutoo." She whimpered out.

"Baby-" He heard the phone drop. "Baby are you there? Alyssa!"
