I Do Not Own CSI

"Breathe Sara, just breathe," Gil coached as Sara had another contraction.

"Gil, you tell me to breathe one more time and I swear…"

"I'll shut up," Gil said as the contractions eased off.

"I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for, Sara. You're the one having these babies, not me," Gil said, wiping her sweaty forehead. Sara had now been in labour for four hours, and was finally moved upstairs after an hour in the ER.

"How are we doing in here, Sara," Dr. Keys asked, coming into the room.

"Can I have drugs this time around?"

"I don't see why not, I would actually prefer it if you did just in case of an emergency."

"Good then, gimmie!"

"I'll call the doctor down very shortly to give you an epidural, but in the mean time I wouldn't mind checking you out to see how far you have progressed."

"Please tell me I'm further along than last time," Sara said, wincing as Dr. Keys checked her.

"Just relax, Sara, just for another second. I know this is uncomfortable."

"Well, the good news is you have progressed."

"How much," Gil asked.

"You are at seven centimetres, that's good!"

"That's it?"

"Sara, you have only been in labour about four and a half hours, you're doing very well."

"But my last labour I was wham, bam, thank you, ma'am, like a half hour tops!"

"Every labour is different, Sara. Just relax for awhile, the other doctor will be in shortly to give you an epidural, ok."

"Ok," Sara said just before another contraction rippled through her.

"This is so not fun."

"I know, honey, but just think, soon we'll have two new babies."

"Four kids in diapers, how fun for me," Sara muttered.

"We can share. I promise, for the first two weeks while I'm home, you won't have to change a single one."

"I'm going to hold you to that! I think my water just broke again," Sara said as the contraction lessened.

"Gil, if you could move, I'm just going to take a look real quick to make sure it's clear." Dr. Keys said checking Sara again.

"It looks ok, Sara. I'll be right back with new padding for the bed and a gown for you."

"Thanks."

"Where are my drugs," Sara asked as she panted through another contraction.

"Gil, go get Dr. Keys. Find me drugs, please!"

"Sara, you're in the middle of a contraction."

"Go!"

An hour later the doctor finally arrived at Sara's room with an epidural in hand just as Dr. Keys as examining her.

"Dr. Reese, so nice of you to finally show up, I've paged you about a dozen times."

"Really, I didn't get…"

"Check your beeper."

"Sara, I have some bad news."

"What? Is everything all right with the babies?"

"Yes, they're ok, but you're fully dilated, you're ready to start pushing."

"Drugs?"

"They would be useless right about now. They won't have enough time to kick in!"

"Get out," Sara said to Dr. Reese, a little venom in her voice.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Griss..."

"Out! And don't think there isn't going to be a complaint to your supervisor!"

"Sara, calm down, honey."

"I'm in pain, with nothing to help ease it and now I have to squeeze two human beings out of my body, don't tell me to calm down!"

"Sorry, honey, I just meant…" The look Sara shot Gil shut him up. "Sorry."

"Gil, I know your mother is out in the waiting room, if you want to go let her know that Sara's ready to push, you have time."

"Are you going to be ok?"

"Peachy, just hurry back," Sara said as another contraction started to hit. "Son of a….."

"Mom," Gil said, tapping Marie on her shoulder and getting her to look at him.

"Do I have two more grandbabies yet?"

"Soon, Sara's ready to start pushing now. I just thought I would let you know. Also, I was wondering if you could call home to check on the boys and give Maddie and Nick an update so they can tell the rest of the guys."

"I will, give Sara my love. Good luck, honey."

"Thanks, Mom."

"Ok, Sara, you ready to push?"

"Is that a rhetorical question?"

"Guess not, ok, when you feel a contraction come on I want you to bear down and push for me," Dr. Keys asked as Gil came back into the hospital room.

"Starting without me?"

"Thought… I…..would….get…..all…the…fun….over…with," Sara spoke as she pushed.

"Good, Sara, good. Now relax."

"Do you two have names picked out?"

"Yeah, if there's a girl, we're calling her…."

"I have to push," Sara said as she bore down.

"Good, Sara, good. I can see the top of the head. Dad, do you want to see," Dr. Keys asked as Gil looked between Sara's legs.

"Dark hair."

"Do you want to see Sara," Dr. Keys asked as a mirror was rolled to the end of the bed.

"There's a side of myself I never thought I would see up close and personal," Sara got out before she had to push again, squeezing Gil's hand hard.

"Ok, Sara, push, push, push, push, push, good!"

"I'm going to go grab a couple of my nurses. If you have to push, go for it. I'll be back in a second!"

"You ready to be a dad again?"

"It's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Yes, I'm ready, midnight feedings and all. Are you ready to be a mom again?"

"I'm ready to have my body back again. But yes, I can't wait to see what we made."
