I Do Not Own CSI
"Sara's pregnant," Catherine said shocked as Gil and Sara's head both snapped to Catherine and James' direction, the sign language translator never missing a beat as Marie looked on.
"You're pregnant, Cookie," Jim asked.
"Wait, you didn't get married because you're pregnant, did you?"
"Honey, Sara, you're pregnant," Marie asked softly, not wanting to get her hopes to high up but the small smile on her face told you that she was hoping she was going to be a grandmother.
"Gil," Sara whispered, squeezing his hand.
"Tell your mom the truth."
"You sure?"
"I think the secret's out," she said as they both turned to Marie with large smiles.
"You finally got your wish, Mom, you're going to be a grandma," Gil said as he signed.
"Really?"
"Sometime just after Christmas," Sara nodded along, never expecting the large hug she and Gil were enveloped with from Marie.
"Thank you," she said aloud.
"I think the pleasure was all theirs, Marie" Greg said and signed at the same time getting chuckles out of the group.
"When did you find out," Nick asked.
"At the hospital, you remember when the doctor asked to speak to me privately?"
"He told you that Sara was pregnant," Warrick said as Gil nodded.
"That explains the look. I just chalked it up to you being relieved that Sara was ok. Knowing that you just found out you were going to be a dad explains more," Jim said.
"What look," Gil asked.
"The slightly shocked yet giddy look, never seen it on you before," Catherine said, smiling.
"I knew there had to be a reason for all the crying during the wedding, and the getting sick before hand," Maddie trailed off.
"You were sick," Gil asked, turning to Sara.
"A little, but I'm fine now. And yes, my hormones have been going a little hay wire. I turn into a crying mess very fast," Sara said with a blush.
"Oh, do I have stories for you," Catherine said.
"Why didn't you say anything before," Marie asked.
"Mom, we just wanted to make sure everything was ok. Sara is only going into her tenth week in a few days. We just wanted to be safe."
"My body went through a lot, Marie. The doctors didn't say it, but Gil and I could both read their faces; they were surprised I was still pregnant. And if my brother here," Sara said, slapping James upside the head.
"Owww, what was that for?"
"Because we had a plan to tell everyone and you ruined it. If he hadn't opened his mouth it would still be our secret for a couple more weeks," Sara finished with one more slap upside James's head.
"Gil, help me out here."
"Sorry James, you dug yourself into that hole. I don't blame Sara for slapping you upside the head."
"Fine, fine, just know I still know the rest."
"The rest," Marie asked as Sara and Gil both shot James a look.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for our bride and groom's first dance, so if the happy couple would come to the floor," the DJ announced.
"The rest of what," Marie said.
"We're dancing now, Mom. James, you better zip it," Gil said sternly as he helped Sara out of her chair.
"Yes, Gil."
"Let's dance," Gil said softly as he drew Sara in close as Alison Krauss' 'When You Say Nothing at All' played.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
"I'm glad that we picked this song, Gil," Sara said as she laid her head on his shoulder.
"Me too"
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
"Your brother told me about your smiles."
"I know."
"You know?"
"I overhead you when you asked for his blessing, which you didn't need by the way."
"I know, but I thought it would be the respectful thing to do."
"It was sweet."
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
"What's the rest," Marie asked James with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah James, spill," Jim joined in.
"You're surrounded by trained investigators, we'll get it out of you," Lindsay said from her perch at the table.
"Listen to the kid, James, she knows what she's talking about," Warrick agreed.
"I can't guys, I wasn't even supposed to say anything about Sara being pregnant. I can't say this."
"Is it bad," Greg asked.
"No, far from it, but this is Sara and Gil's news to share," James said as he took Jeremy's hand and brought him to the dance floor, joining Sara and Gil.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
"I love you," Gil whispered as their foreheads rested against one another.
"I love you, too," Sara said with the smile that took over her whole face.
"We should tell them the rest," Sara added.
"Later, let me have one more dance with you first," Gil said as he raised his head to nod to the DJ to play the song he requested.
"Ok everyone, this is a request by the groom, so grab the person closest to you and start dancing," the DJ asked as Jim took Marie's hand, Warrick grabbed Catherine, and Nick beat Greg to Maddie. Even Mark managed to grab the one and only waitress and take her to the dance floor
"Hey short stuff, wanna dance with me," Greg asked Lindsay.
"Can I step on your feet?"
"Why not, come on, I don't want to be the only one not dancing," Greg said with a smile as Lindsay hopped up and dragged Greg to the floor.
"Why this song, Gil," Sara asked as 'Unchained Melody' played.
"My parents danced to the original version at their wedding, I thought it would be a nice way for my mom and me to remember my dad."
"Excuse me, can we cut in," Jim asked as Gil took Marie's hand and Jim took Sara's.
"I don't think I could be happier than I am today, Gil."
"Well, that makes two of us."
"A grandchild, Gil, that's wonderful."
"We did want to tell you, we just wanted to wait a couple more weeks…"Gil said apologizing.
"It's ok, Gil. I understand and it's ok."
"So, you and Gil are having a baby," Jim said as he and Sara swayed to the music.
"Yep"
"Never thought I would see the day, but I'm happy for you. A baby is great, especially in our line of work. I remember when Lindsay was just a baby. We would all take turns holding her just to see the pure innocence that she held."
"So, we're going to have to pass babies around?"
"Yes, something like that. Wait did you say babies," Jim asked as the song ended and Gil came back and scooped Sara away.
"Do you want to tell them now or before we leave?"
"Better do it now, I pretty much just told Jim by accident. We need to tell your mom," she whispered as they made their way back to the table where everyone was sitting,
"Ok, seeing as James broke our news," Sara said, giving her brother a look.
"I'm sorry, just stop giving me that look." He said holding his hands up
"We're just glad he didn't spill all of it," Gil finished.
"And what the rest of the news, Gil," Marie asked.
Turning their bodies completely towards his mother Sara and Gil both signed twins at the same time
"Twins," Marie yelled excitedly, once again jumping up and embracing her son and his wife, most of the guests mouths dropping open at the news
