I Do Not Own CSI
"Explain to me why we're going over to Catherine's again," Sara asked as she put on her shoes.
"She said you needed to get out of the house for a bit and that this would be the perfect opportunity. Plus she's dying to see Samuel and Garrett again."
"She just saw them three days ago."
"You realize we're talking about Catherine, right? Those things don't matter to her."
"True enough. Ok, so do we have everything we need," Sara asked as the babies laid quietly in their car seats sound asleep.
"I think so. Diapers, wipes, soothers; a few extra blankets and outfits, a couple toys and I think we're set."
"Then let's get this show on the road," Sara sighed as she opened the front door and Gil carried the babies to the car.
"Is your mom here, too," Sara asked as she saw Marie's car in the driveway, not realizing the other cars that were parked further down the road were the lab and family's cars.
"Looks like, Catherine said something about inviting Mom over for lunch today as well," Gil said, making a quick excuse as he parked the car.
"Why do I have a feeling there is some ulterior motive for me coming here today?"
"You think too much, honey."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Never," Gil said as he took Garrett out of the car. He then walked over to Sara and took Samuel out of her hands.
"Hey!"
"You shouldn't lift too much yet."
"Gil, it's been three weeks, I'm ok."
"I know, just humour me, ok?"
"Ok," Sara said, facing him and giving him a soft kiss.
"Hey, I believe that's what led to those two," Catherine called from the front stoop.
"And we had so much fun doing it, Catherine," Sara replied as she gave Gil a smile before she turned around to walk up to her. Gil followed behind her with the babies.
"Come on in, it's chilly out here," Catherine ordered as she ushered Sara and Gil inside.
"Ohh, babies," Catherine cooed.
"They're getting bigger and bigger every time I see them."
"Well, with the way they eat they should be," Sara said as she bent to get Samuel out, quickly putting him over her shoulder as Gil took out Garrett and did the same.
"Come on, let's go into the living room and get comfy so I can hold my god son."
"Lead the way."
"SURPRISE!" Was yelled out to the occupants in the living room, causing both babies to startle and start to cry.
"Nice going, guys! You're not supposed to scream at them," Catherine admonished as Sara and Gil immediately started to rock and rub the babies' backs.
"Shhhh, it's ok, just your aunts and uncles trying to give Mommy a heart attack," Sara said.
"Hey buddy, no more crying. You're getting presents today so that should make you happy."
Within a minute both babies were quiet again and peace was restored.
"Well, it looks like you got the 'how to make your babies stop crying' down pat," Jim said.
"Two babies speeds up the process, Jim," Gil said with a smile.
"Can I hold him, Grissom," Warrick asked.
"Sure," Gil said, passing the infant over.
"Now, who do I have?"
"You guys really didn't have to throw me a baby shower," Sara said as she relaxed in the big comfy chair with her feet up, the babies being happily passed around by all the party goers. From what she could see, James had a hold on Samuel while Greg held Garrett.
"Please Sara, every new mom deserves a baby shower," Marie replied back as she sat across from her.
"And because we didn't know what the babies were going to be until they were born, we decided to wait until now," Catherine added.
"I still can't believe I made it here in time," Maddie, Sara's best friend from San Francisco, said as she sat beside Sara.
"And I'm so glad you did! It means a lot that you came here for this."
"Are you kidding, I wouldn't have missed this for the world!"
"How long are you here for?"
"Two more days"
"Good, you can stay with us a give me a hand with my boys."
"I was hoping you would say that."
"Aunt Sara," Lindsay asked.
"Yes, Linds?"
"Can I hold one of the babies?"
"Oh Lindsay, I think you may be a littleā¦," Catherine was about to say small before Sara butted in.
"I think so, why don't you go sit on the couch and wait for me, ok?"
"OK!" Lindsay happily bounced off.
"You sure, Sara?"
"Yeah, we'll just sit with her. Hey James or Greg, it's time to pass over one of my sons."
"You man, Garrett is happy with me."
"And Samuel isn't with me?"
"I've only had Garrett for ten minutes, you've been hogging Samuel for the last half hour. You get to share."
"Fine," James said, walking over to Sara to hand over the baby.
"Thank you," Sara said as she turned to Lindsay with the baby.
"Ok Lindsay, I want you to put your arm up here, so Samuel's head will be in your elbow," Sara asked as she slowly placed the baby in her arms.
"Then take your other hand and hold him around his body," Lindsay did as she was instructed and smiled big when Sara took her own hands away.
"Mommy, look I'm holding a baby!"
"Oh, I need a picture of this! Hold that pose, ok Lindsay?"
"Yes, Mommy."
"I think they're going to have to be fed soon," Sara said, wincing as her breast started to ache.
"Oh how I remember that feeling," Catherine commented.
"Where do you want to nurse, Sara," Marie asked.
"Actually if you give me a blanket and a couple pillows I can do it here. I don't really feel like leaving the party, unless anyone is uncomfortable with me doing it in here."
"I doubt it," Wendy said as the first of two whimpers started to emanate the room.
"Ummm Sara, I think he wants something I don't have," Maddie said as Garrett started to search for somewhere to nurse.
"Bring him over here, he's hungry. Samuel should want to be fed sometime soon too."
The joining of a second cry from Doc's arms signalled Samuel's demand for food.
"Do you need anything," Gil asked as Doc passed Gil the baby.
"A glass of juice would be nice."
"I got it Gil, help your wife," Catherine said as she got up.
As Sara adjusted herself on the chair the room suddenly went quiet as the room watched as she undid her top and nursing bra to feed Garrett who started to suckle quickly.
"Ok, hand him over," Sara asked as Gil adjusted the baby to Sara's side letting her hook him on.
"Blanket, please," Sara said as Gil covered Sara up somewhat.
"Guys, I'm just nursing, it's not like none of you have ever seen a couple of boobs before," Sara smirked out breaking the silence.
"Sorry, Sara," Nick said as he, Warrick, and Greg all nodded along.
"It's ok, guys, I'm not ashamed about feeding my sons. It's a beautiful thing."
"She's right, you know. Nothing like watching a mother feed her child or children for that matter," Doc stated as he and Jim went back to their conversation that they were having on a case from weeks before.
"Your juice," Catherine said as she placed the glass on the table.
"Thank you, Catherine."
"After you're done nursing, let us women burp them. We can get the men to change them and then you can open presents."
"Did I ever tell you that I love presents, Catherine," Gil asked as he kissed the top of Sara's head before he got up.
