I Do Not Own CSI

"You know, any time you want to come out and meet us you can. I know it's nice and warm and snugly in there, but your daddy and I are getting really anxious to meet you two," Sara said as she looked at herself naked in the full length mirror. Turning to the side, she shook her head.

"As much as I love you two already, I can't wait to have my body back."

"You look beautiful in any shape, Sara," Gil said as he watched his wife from the doorway.

"You're just saying that because you have to."

"No, I'm not, honey," Gil said as he came up behind Sara in his black dress pants and a crisp white shirt, all that was missing was his bow tie and jacket.

"You're beautiful, you always have been and I think pregnancy has made you glow even more," he said softly as his hands wrapped around her just under her breasts to rest on her pregnant belly.

"Your hair is soft, your eyes say more to me than words, your cheeks flush when you're happy, and your lips are sensual, making my knees weak when I kiss you," he said softly in her ear as he ran one finger across her lips.

"Your shoulders keep you brave, while your breasts show the nourishment you're going to provide for these two.

"Your stomach, your womb, keeps these precious lives protected, in a spot that they know they are loved.

"This soft spot between your thighs shows your femininity, a place where we connected to make life.

"Your knees keep you tall, while your feet keep you strong. Making you, Sara Grissom, a very beautiful woman and downright sexy if I do say so myself," Gil finished softly as he kissed the side or her head.

"You really think that?"

"I really think that, honey."

"You're lucky I didn't put on my mascara yet, or else it would be running down my face."

"And yet, you would still be the most beautiful woman to me."

"Are you ready," Gil asked, knocking on the bathroom door.

"Yeah," Sara said, coming out in her navy blue dress she picked out with Marie.

"What do you think?"

"I think….. I'm speechless at the moment, honey. You're stunning."

"Well, you don't look so bad yourself," Sara replied as she set her hands on her back, trying to relieve the pressure that was settling there.

"Back still bothering you?"

"Yeah, but that's nothing new. Come on, let's go pick up your mom. James and Jeremy are meeting us at the ballroom. Let's go celebrate New Years with our family."

"Hold on one second."

"What?"

"Can you help me with my bow tie? I still can't get it."

"Sure, babe."

"Well, look at that. The whole Grissom and Sidle clans are here," Greg called, waving the whole group over to where Nick, Warrick, Jim, and Catherine all sat with glasses of champagne in their hands.

"Hey guys."

"You're smoking tonight, Sara," Catherine said.

"Thanks, I don't feel that way though," she replied as Gil pulled out her seat while Jim got Marie's.

"Want something to drink, honey?"

"Just water."

"Mom?"

"A glass of champagne if you don't mind."

"I don't, I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Hold up, Gil. We men will come with you. We'll let the women talk girl stuff while we guys talk man stuff," Jim said as the guys all followed Gil to the bar.

"You're not feeling well, Sara," Catherine asked concerned.

"I don't know. I fell like I'm as big as a house, my feet ache, I'm tired and my back is killing me."

"Worse than usual," Marie asked with a smile.

"A little, but I also have two babies making me hunch forward so..."

"I think what Marie is trying to say, Sara, is that you're probably in the very, very early stages of labour."

"Well, then I have been for about a week now."

"Ok guys, spill. What's the baby pool up to," Gil asked as he ordered his drinks.

"It's big, Gil."

"How big?"

"Let's just say that whoever wins the pot will be getting a very nice second paycheck," Warrick said.

"Who's still in?"

"Greg, Doc Robbins, Wendy, and me," Nick said as they made their way back.

"Who's next to be out?"

"Well, my bet is for the first of January, Greg's is tonight, Doc had the third and Wendy the fourth. The baby weight is a whole other story. We won't know the winners of that one until they're here. Any chance of them coming, I don't know, tomorrow," Nick asked.

"You'd have to ask Sara, Nick."

"Ask me what?"

"When are you going to have those babies?"

"I wish I knew, Nick, I really wish I did. Trust me when I say I want them here and out of my body anytime now."

"Be careful what you wish for, Sara," James said, taking his seat.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…."
