I Do Not Own CSI
"Happy Mothers' Day, Sara," Gil said, kissing his wife awake.
"Mmmm, I don't mind waking up like that," Sara said softly, opening her eyes to see the bedroom aglow with the morning light. Her two sons were laying in their bassinettes and a tray with French toast and fresh fruit was sitting to the side with a large Gerber daisy along with it.
"When did you do all this?"
"While you were asleep. You must have been pretty tired."
"I guess, but I feel extremely relaxed right now, kind of hungry, too."
"Good, because there's lots," Gil said as he placed the tray on her lap.
"This smells wonderful."
"Well, you deserve it, Sara. You're a wonderful mother, to both our boys and to the newest addition," Gil said, squeezing her still flat stomach.
"Don't squeeze too hard or I'm going to have to pee in a minute."
"Sorry."
"Don't be," Sara said, pecking him on the lips and then going back to her French toast.
"That was wonderful," Sara sighed, full, and happy. Gil cleared her plate as she snuggled back under the blankets.
"Can you bring me my babies? I'm in need of some cuddle time with them," Sara asked as Gil grabbed both babies and brought them over to lie beside her.
"I've got an idea, I'll be right back," Gil said, leaving, only to come back a minute later with a book in his hand.
"Let me read to you," Gil said, climbing into the bed, putting Samuel in his lap as Sara put Garrett in hers, snuggling up to his wife before pulling the covers up.
Gil was just through the first couple pages when he heard sniffles.
"'I love you forever
I like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be.' Sara what's wrong?"
"It's just so sweet."
"Oh honey, I love you and all your whacky hormones," Gil said with a smile, kissing the side of Sara's head.
"Hey Mom, Happy Mothers' Day," Gil said, opening his front door to Marie.
"Thank you, Gilbert. Am I late? I see everyone else's cars are here."
"No, you're right on time. We were just relaxing out on the back deck," Gil said as he led Marie outside to where the whole team, Jim, James, Jeremy, Maddie and Lindsay all sat talking and laughing at bad jokes.
"Hey Grissom, what insect is good at Math," Greg said smiling.
"I dunno, what?"
"An account-ant," Greg said as the whole deck groaned.
"That was bad, Greg."
"Yeah well, we have children present. If Lindsay wasn't here it would have been a whole other story."
"Yeah, you say that now," Nick mocked out.
"Ok, so because this is Mothers' Day, all mothers don't have to lift a finger today," Gil announced.
"Sucks for you, Maddie," Greg joked.
"That's ok. I'm not ready for midnight feedings and all that fun stuff yet. Plus I would kind of like to be married before I start the whole kid thing."
"Pressures on, Nick," Jim pointed out.
"No, it's not Jim," Maddie answered even before Nick could get a word in.
"Well, being as we're all here, Mom, Happy Mothers' Day," Gil said, handing Marie a bunch of beautiful wild flowers and a card.
"Thank you, Gil," Marie said, smelling the aroma of the wild flowers and then opening her Mothers' Day card that held a picture in it.
"What's this," she said just before turning it over.
"Are you pregnant, again?"
"Congrats, Marie, you're going to be a grandmother of three, come next February," Sara answered just before Marie came up and embraced her.
"I'm so happy for you. You've made my day, another grandbaby!"
"You're really pregnant again, Sara," James asked with a smile, coming over to hug his sister.
"Afraid so, you're going to have to deal with me and my whacky hormones and cravings again."
"I think we're all prepared for that. Congratulations, Sara," Maddie said, coming up to her and giving her a hug before doing the same to Gil.
"You looked a little left out there, Gil."
"Thanks, Maddie."
"Aunt Sara is going to have a baby, too," Lindsay asked, surprised.
"Too, who else is pregnant," Greg asked.
"Yes, Lindsay, Sara is going to have a baby."
"Again, I ask, who else is pregnant?"
"Mommy is going to have a baby, Greg. Duhhhh."
"Really, Catherine," Jim asked.
"Apparently, it looks like Sara and I suffered the same fate of failed protection."
"Got that right, Cath."
"When are you due, Catherine," Marie asked.
"Around the beginning of February."
"Congrats, man," Nick said, slapping Warrick on the back.
"Thanks, Nick."
"So, does this mean we're in for another wedding around here," Jim asked.
"A wedding? Could I be the flower girl," Lindsay asked with wide eyes.
"Thanks, Jim," Catherine said, rolling her eyes.
"Oh crap," Nick muttered.
"What?"
"I know what it's like to have a bunch of pregnant females around, I grew up with sisters. We're so not going to survive this!"
