I Do Not Own CSI

"Hey honey, I have to run to the store," Sara called, putting on her shoes.

"What for?"

"We're almost out of milk," Sara said.

"Not to mention I'm late," Sara thought as Gil continued talking, she never registered a word he said.

"Sara, are you listening."

"Sorry, what?"

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, just wondering if we need anything else in the house."

"Maybe I a bottle of ginger ale. My throat has been a little scratchy."

"Sure. Ok, I'll be back soon."

"Love you," Gil said, pecking Sara on the lips.

"Love you, too," Sara said leaving, with Gil closing the door behind her.

"Which one do I pick, I've never had to pee on the stick before," Sara muttered, looking at the many different displays of pregnancy tests that stood before her.

"Sara?"

"Catherine, hey, what a surprise. Fancy seeing you down this aisle."

"You, too," she said, coming to stand beside Sara, both women gazing at the shelves in front of them.

"Why are there so many?"

"To make this moment even harder than it has to be."

"Do you pick the more expensive one, thinking that it will be the most accurate, or do you go for a cheap one, thinking that it should yield the same results as all the others?"

"When I had to do this last time I chose this one," Catherine said, grabbing the box and throwing it in her cart with a deep breath.

"I guess I'll take the same one," Sara muttered, throwing the box in her cart. Both women slowly walked down the aisle, quietly.

"How long have you suspected," Sara asked.

"A little over two weeks. You?"

"Since last Sunday, so a week I guess," Sara replied.

"I'm forty, I'm too old to have a baby."

"I still have two babies at home."

"Warrick will be happy."

"So will Gil. And Marie for that matter."

"I just thought we'd space the baby thing out a little more. If I'm pregnant Samuel and Garrett will only be around fourteen months when this one is born. Imagine three babies in diapers."

"Unless you have twins again."

"Don't say that, I don't think I could handle four babies all in one shot. I'm still nursing these two part time."

"I can't believe that. I was finished nursing Lindsay at two and a half months, my boobs couldn't take any more."

"Does Warrick suspect?"

"Does Gil?"

"No," Sara said softly as they strolled up the dairy aisle.

"Warrick doesn't either. I don't know what he'll think."

"He'll be happy, I know he will."

"Our personal lives are going to be all over the lab."

"Join the club. You don't think Gil and I hear what some people say about me, it hurts."

"I have never."

"I know, Cath, and I know the guys haven't said anything either. It's mostly dayshift and Ecklie."

"Tell you what, if I ever hear someone say something crude about you, or Gil for that matter, they can deal with me and my hormones that are going to go sky high if this test comes back positive."

"Oh god!"

"What?"

"The guys are going to have to deal with two pregnant and hormonal women at the same time. We're going to kill them," Sara said, laughing for the first time, making Catherine laugh along with her.

"They're never going to survive," Catherine said through her own laugh, her tears streaking down her face as they came to the checkout, the seriousness of the moment coming back.

"Well, I guess…," Catherine said, pointing to her car.

"Yeah, me too. Catherine?"

"Yeah?"

"Everything will be fine, Warrick will be elated, I know it."

"Gil will be too, Sara, trust that."

"I will, see you at work tomorrow, Cath."

"Bye, Sara."

The first thing Sara heard when she came in the door was the babies crying.

"Gil," Sara called, dropping her bag at the front door, and getting no answer.

"Gil, why are the babies crying," Sara asked aloud as she walked towards the living room where Samuel and Garrett were in their swings, Gil was sleeping on the couch.

"Hey guys, it's alright, what's the matter?" Sara cooed as she unstrapped Samuel bringing him to her shoulder and then unlocking Garrett and pulling him to her shoulder.

"Shh, shh, Mommy's here. Gil," Sara called, still getting no response.

"Gil," Sara called again, shaking his shoulder and seeing his eyes flutter open.

"Didn't you hear them crying?"

"No."
