I Do Not Own CSI
"So, what did the test say," Gil asked as Sara emerged from the bathroom.
"I don't know, we have to wait five minutes before we get a result. At least we're finding out together this time."
"Very true, but I don't like waiting. Last time it was just, you're pregnant. That was it, no waiting for a test," Gil said as he slid down the wall, Sara doing the same thing.
"This is going to change a lot," Sara sighed.
"But we'll get through this, together," Gil replied, linking their hands together as they watched the clock, waiting as the seconds ticked by.
"It's time," Sara said as they each got up off the floor. Just as they were about to go back into the bathroom both babies' wails could be heard.
"They're probably hungry, it's almost dinner time," Sara said, pushing the test to the back of her mind so she could deal with feeding Samuel and Garrett.
"Are you going to nurse or are we bottle feeding them," Gil asked as he followed Sara into the living room where the babies cried in their swings.
"Right now, nurse. With everything that's going on, my boobs are full and I'd rather not wait to pump later on."
"Shh baby, I get it, you're hungry," Sara said as she lifted Samuel out of his swing, already unbuttoning her top as she sat down on the couch with him. Gil brought Garrett to her.
"Hey buddy, calm down, dinner's almost here," he soothed until Sara was ready for the second baby.
"You ready?"
"Yeah," Sara said as she held out her other arm. Gil positioned Garrett at her breast.
"Can you grab my pillow," Sara asked.
"Sure."
"Well, what do you think guys, you ready for a sibling," Sara asked aloud to her suckling boys, wincing when Samuel's latch was a little too tight.
"Yeah I know, I'm not either, but we'll get through this together."
"That we will, I promise that, Sara. Everything will be alright," Gil said, adjusting the pillow under the babies so Sara could free her arms.
"You want to go check if I'm pregnant?"
"Just like last time, I'll find out before you," Gil smiled, kissing the top of Sara's head before going to the bathroom.
When Gil still hadn't come back a couple minutes later Sara called out. "Gil, what's it say?"
"Why don't you look for yourself," Gil said, handing her the test, a soft smile forming her lips as she read the results.
"Hey, what's the emergency," Warrick asked, coming through Catherine's front door.
"I have something to tell you," Catherine said fidgety.
"Okaaay, what's up?"
"You may want to sit down."
"You're kinda starting to freak me out here, Cath, what's going on," Warrick asked, sitting at the kitchen counter.
"Ok, there's no easy way to say this, I mean we were careful, really careful, but something broke or didn't work," Catherine rambled on.
"Catherine, stop, just spit it out."
"I might be pregnant," she blurted just as Lindsay came in through the back door from the next door neighbour's house.
"You're going to have a baby," Lindsay squealed, running up to her mother. "Really, I'm going to have a baby sister or brother?"
"Maybe, War, are you alright," Catherine asked, hugging Lindsay to her legs as she looked at Warrick.
"You think so," Warrick asked with a smile starting to grace his lips.
"Yeah, I'm late, really late, and I've been a little tired lately."
"You don't know for sure?"
"I haven't taken the test yet, I ah, I wanted to talk to you first."
"Do you have one, a pregnancy test yet?"
"Yeah, I picked it up a little while ago."
"So go take it, I want to know if I'm going to be a dad," Warrick said, pushing Catherine towards the bathroom.
"You're really going to have a baby," Lindsay asked.
"Maybe, would that be ok with you?"
"I've always wanted a brother or sister; this is going to be so much fun."
"I think you would make a great big sister," Warrick said, sitting Lindsay on his lap.
"Could I help name it?"
"Well, let's see if your mom is really going to have a baby first, then we'll talk about baby names, deal," Warrick said, holding out his hand.
"Deal," Lindsay said, shaking it.
Hearing the bathroom door open, the duo turned their heads towards Catherine.
"So?"
"Am I going to be a big sister?"
"We have to wait a few more minutes, then we'll know."
"Are you ok about this? I know we never talked…."
"Catherine, this is great, I mean that. Who would have ever thought I would be a dad."
"You'll be a great dad."
"You think?"
"I think," Catherine said as they grew quiet, watching the clock until it was time. As soon as the clock struck the five minute mark Catherine was on her way back to the bathroom, Warrick and Lindsay on her tail.
"So," Warrick questioned as Catherine turned around with a soft smile on her face.
