A/N - Ok, I had to type this up rather quickly, so be on the look out for rogue typos.

I havent gotten many reviews... so do we like? Do we not like? Review and let me know... :)

He had never been more nervous in his life. He grabbed for the velvet box tucked away in the dresser drawer and shoved in his pocket just as there was a knock at the door.

He opened the door and was instantly silent. He had never seen her look so beautiful.

"Earth to Nick!" She giggled as he stared her, his mouth open slightly.

"Sorry." He smiled. "You just look amazing."

She blushed and held out her hand to him and led him to the car.

At dinner, he tried to maintain his cool. He had carefully slipped the waiter the ring, and was anxiously awaiting the champagne they had ordered.

"I can't believe its been a year." She smiled as she reached across the table and grabbed his hand.

"I know." He smiled back and hoped his hands weren't too sweaty.

The waiter appeared and set the champagne glasses on the table, winking at Nick as he left.

"I propose a toast." She smiled, raising her glass. She spotted the ring at the bottom of the glass and this time, it was her jaw that dropped.

"I just... propose." Nick smiled getting up to kneel next to the table.

The restaurant fell silent as they noticed him kneeling next to her.

"Mandy, I love you with all of my heart, and if you let me, I will spend the rest of my life making you they happiest woman in the world. Will you marry me?"

"Yes!" She squealed and the room erupted with clapping and cheers.

He couldn't hold back the tears and he kissed her and slipped the ring on her hand.

He couldn't believe it as he opened his eyes.

Today was the day.

He was getting married.

He sat up in the bed and looked around the hotel suite. He was glad he had the sense to grab his camera and snap a few pictures. Greg lay in the sofa across the room, his hand dangling in a bowl of chips. Brass was slumped in a chair; his feet out in front of him, and his tie had been tied around his head in a bow. Grissom was asleep on the floor, sprawled out on his stomach, confetti in his hair. Warrick was dead asleep at the foot of the bed, a napkin stuck to his lip. Hodges and Henry were cuddled on the floor and Nick made a mental note to blow that picture up and frame it for them. Archie was sleeping against the bed, an X-box controller still in his hand.

Nick smiled as he slid the camera back into the drawer and stood to take a shower. It was just after six in the morning, and the wedding was still eight hours away, but his excitement had taken over, he was ready to start what he was sure was going to be the best day of his life.

They made it to the church an hour before the ceremony was to begin and Nick stared at the clock as he mindlessly bit at his fingers.

"Keep that up, and Mandy is going to be holding two bloody stumps." Warrick smiled.

"Nervous?" Greg asked as he adjusted his tie.

"No, anxious." Nick shook his head.

"Same thing." Greg sighed.

"Actually, they are two very different emotions." Grissom chimed in as he sat next to Nick.

Greg rolled his eyes and went back to his tie.

After what seemed like an eternity Nick was standing at the front of the church, waiting for his bride. The ceremony was short, sweet and simple, and soon Mr. and Mrs. Stokes were making their way down the aisle.

The reception was in full swing and Nick had let Brass cut in, so he could dance with the bride. He made his way to the bar as Greg looked rejected as a bridesmaid left in huff.

"Ouch." Nick shook his head and laughed as he ordered a drink.

"Oh shut it." Greg laughed. "So, how does it feel to be a married man?"

Nick turned and smiled as he watched Brass and Mandy share a laugh on the dance floor.

"It's amazing Greggo. It's Amazing."

"Damn it!" Mandy grunted as she chucked the pregnancy test in the trash. She washed her hands and threw open the door and stomped into the kitchen.

She stood at the sink and shook her head. Nick came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"It'll happen honey; you're too stressed about this." He whispered and kissed the back of her neck.

"It's been almost year Nick... there has to be something wrong with me." She sighed.

"Hey, it'll happen. Trust me." He sighed and hugged her tighter.

"Casey said they had another baby dropped off at the hospital last night, she said the mother came in, dropped the baby off - said she 'just didn't want another kid' and left. Casey said she looked strung out."

"Sometimes I hate that your best friend works at a hospital." Nick said as her turned her around to face him.

"C'mon Nick. These gutter rats can pop off kids left and right, and they don't even want them! And here we are month after month staring at negative tests."

"Mandy." He said firmly. "It'll happen."

"I wish I could have the faith you do." She sighed.

"Hey, we've talked about this. Even if we don't have them the conventional way, we'll have kids. We will." He assured her.

"I know it's selfish...but I want to give birth to at least one of our children... I want to be pregnant; I want to feel the life we created as it grows..." She teared up.

"Oh honey." Nick sighed and pulled her into him. "We'll find away."

Mandy dangled her feet over the exam table; she nervously fiddled with her paper gown. Nick reached out his hand and squeezed hers, trying to reassure her.

Mandy jumped at the knock on the door.

"Mrs. Stokes?" The doctor smiled as she came into the room.

Mandy nodded and gripped Nick's hand tighter.

"I'm afraid we can't do the invitro today."

Mandy's leg shook as her nerves got the best of her. She had spent months taking pills every day, even giving herself shots, nothing had worked.

"Another road block... of course!" she threw her hands up and held back the tears.

"Mrs. Stokes." The doctor spoke softly and grabbed her hand. "We can't do it because you are already pregnant." She smiled.

"What??" Nick and Mandy gasped in unison.

"The pregnancy test we took this morning with your blood work showed you're pregnant." The doctor laughed. "So we're going to an ultrasound instead."

Mandy grinned as Nick stood up and wrapped her in a tight hug. "I told you it would happen." He whispered.

Mandy blinked away the tears. "I should know by now to always trust you." She laughed.

They watched as the doctor swirled the wand around in the sticky goop on Mandy's stomach.

"There." The doctor pointed at a tiny orb on the screen. "Baby!"

"Oh my god, Nick! That's our baby!" Mandy gasped.

"Then what's that?" Nick pointed to another dark spot.

"That..." The doctor smiled. "...Is baby B."

"Wait... what?" Mandy sat up on her elbows.

"That's baby A. Aaand that is baby B..." The doctor told her. "Twins!"

Nick teared up and stared at the screen. "Our babies." He whispered, a huge grin on his face.
