-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Catherine sat comfortably on the couch surrounded by people, her hand resting on her stomach feeling her unborn child kick once again. Most of the lab was there and most all of both of their families. The women surrounded Catherine and the men around Gil occasionally the mingled.
She smiled at the baby girl, Samara, sitting on Tina Brown's lap. She was smiling back at Catherine with the few teeth she had. She was so adorable. She had just met the rest of the Brown family and they never found themselves in an awkward position.
"So you ready for that thing to come out?" Jacqui asked sitting next to her. Jacqui was her best friend.
"Yeah." Catherine said sighing. "This kid is seriously going to get signed up for soccer. All this kid does is kick." They all laughed.
"I guess he did a good job." Jacqui said raising her cup toward the men, followed by a flow of giggles.
Gil wandered over to Catherine standing behind her and whispered in her ear, "Who is that with Lindsey?" he said looking in her direction. Catherine turned and saw them both laughing hysterically over something.
"That's Steve. He was over the other day, member?"
"No. Why is he with Lindsey?"
"Could you please stop whispering, leave them alone and go find some Tic Tacs?"
Gil pouted and stood up. "Oh…and I'm hungry."
"When aren't you?" he mumbled to himself. Catherine swung her hand backwards hitting him in near a sensitive spot.
"That was close." He said cupping himself before he looked around and saw all the women staring at what he hand could hold.
Catherine smirked. "Yea…he's packing." She said making his cheeks turn red before he turned away.
-------------------------------------------
"Lets dig in!" Catherine said. At once everyone scrambled for food.
Everyone had got what he or she wanted, and was now in light conversations. Catherine watched as Jim and Jacqui were almost snuggled together. Tina wiped some food from her daughters face and Warrick still feeding her. Lily in conversation with Lindsey and Steve, Nick, Sara, Hodges and Greg laughing at some joke that Greg said, she was sure that it was directed towards she and Gil, Gil's mother talking to Robbins, his wife and David, the corner and his fiancé.
Then her gaze finally settled on Gil who was watching her. She winked at him and turned to Jacqui as Jim turned to Gil.
Catherine listened as Jacqui went on about how Jim had almost broken his back trying to play football with her teenage boys.
"I told him not to go out and play, but you know Jimmy. So he's out there and of course its tackle ball, but no one even touched the big baby. He slipped and landed on his back. He cried too." Jacqui took a sip of her tea. "He wouldn't move for at least an hour.
She took a forkful of her food and bought it to her mouth stopping halfway.
"Catherine, you ok?" Jacqui asked as she watched Catherine.
"No, no, no…not now." She said looking down.
"What…Oh Jesus." She said before Catherine moaned as a wave of pain hit her.
"Cath you ok?" Gil asked her as the whole table looking at her as she gripped the table.
"My…water…" she said… that being the only thing she could get out.
"Your…your water broke?" he asked.
"Great you got the answer, you won a freakin baby!" she said her face red. "Are you all going to sit there looking like dumb asses or what?" she asked as her hormones, temper and emotions took over her.
"Oh my god." Lindsey whispered to herself then looking at Steve.
"Oh…I need…hospital. GET IT OUT!" Catherine yelled as a stronger contraction attacked her.
"Ok. Jim call 911, Warrick and Nick help me get Cath comfortable. Lindsey take the Samara somewhere. Tina since you're a nurse I'm going to need you over here with Catherine. Jacqui talk to her. Al, I need you down there making sure everything is ok and David help. Sara…switch places with Lindsey…she doesn't want you in our bedroom, Linds go get the overnight bag beside the door." Gil has said realizing that his wife was going into labor.
"Gil. I am not having this kid here." Catherine said gripping his hand and gritted her teeth together.
"Ok. The meds are on there way and there setting up her room at the hospital." Jim said turning closing his phone.
"Ok, baby the meds are almost here. You doing great."
"That's it." Catherine said trying to focus on something other than the pain.
"What's it?"
"The reason why the baby was moving around a lot today." She said trying to smile.
"You've got a little way to go Catherine, but you should be at the hospital before you give birth."
"This is so cool. Robbins. That lucky bastard." Hodges said to Greg standing next to him.
Greg gave him a weird look and went to get towels as Gil directed him to.
"You're doing great Catherine. Just keep breathing." Tina said breathing slowly with her.
Lindsey came downstairs and put the overnight bag beside the door. She grabbed Steve's hand and pulled him into the kitchen.
----------------------------------
"I'm sorry about this. I made her promise no pregnant stuff."
"Well this isn't something she can exactly control. It's ok. If it makes you feel any better I was born in the back of a taxi."
Lindsey smiled, "You always make me feel better. Were you really born in a taxi?
"No." he said laughing.
Lindsey grabbed his hand and smiled. "You always make me smile." She watched as he leaned forward and kissed her. As he pulled away she kissed him again, parting her lips.
"What the hell is this!" Gil said walking into making them both jump.
"Dad, what are you doing in here?" she asked
"I'm getting your mother ice…what they hell are you guys doing? He asked giving Steve a death stare.
"Nothing." Lindsey said pulling Steve through the opposite exit to the kitchen.
Gil stood for a moment and went to get some ice.
-----------------------------------------
"Where the hell is Gil?" Catherine asked laying back on the pillows on the floor.
"He's getting some ice. How are the contractions?" Jacqui asked holding her hand.
"There ok now, but it still hurts." She said letting her head fall back.
"Gil…where the hell have you been?" she asked once she saw him and snatched the cup of ice out of his hand and popped a cube in her mouth.
"Lindsey was in the kitchen…with Steve. I think they were kissing."
Catherine shoot the ice out of her mouth and it hit Gil in the eye.
"OW!"
"Lindsey!" she yelled. "Someone get Lindsey!"
Lindsey came running in. "WHAT? WHAT! THE BABY ISN'T COMING IS IT? OH MY GOSH!"
"No! Did you get your first kiss?" Catherine winced at the pain, trying to focus on something else.
"Oh. My. God." Lindsey looked over and stared at Gil who was hold his eye.
"Meet me in tha living room it's goin down." Greg whispered to himself biting into the bread roll in his hand.
Lindsey swung hitting him hard in the stomach. "I can't believe you!" she yelled.
"Where the fuck are the paramedics?" Catherine asked reaching for a hand.
Gil was lying on the floor.
"Gil get the hell up."
"I'm in pain from this family abuse!" he yelled.
"IM IN PAIN BECAUSE YOU JUST COULDN'T WAIT UNTIL WE GOT HOME!" she yelled.
Greg stooped chewing the bread roll and let it fall out of his mouth. "That naty."
Hodges quickly shushed him.
Gil laid on the floor with his eye swollen and his hand on his stomach. Minutes passed and sirens could be heard.Everyone got ready for departure to the hospital.
"About fucking time!" Catherine yelled trying to get up.
"Catherine lay back. The guys will get you." Jacqui said pushing her back.
"Jacqui, I need to get this thing outta me as soon as possible!"
"About time." Catherine yelled as the medics busted through the door.
"Sorry, There was a huge accident on the main road."
"We'll let's go get this thing out!" Catherine yelled with a contraction.
