Next up - 'Labor Day' madness!!

Reveiws make my day ... :)


Grissom smiled as she walked down the aisle towards him, her smile lighting the room.

He felt her hands shake as she passed her bouquet to Catherine and put her small hands in his. He smiled before leaning in and kissing the back of her knuckles softly.

It had been a quick, yet easy decision. As soon as he picked her up from the airport, he knew he had to make her his forever. A few phone calls to their friends, and twelve hours later, they we standing in the tiny chapel, brand new wedding bands waiting to be exchanged.

He smiled when she said I do, and held back tears as he slid the gold band on her finger. He let a happy tear escape as they were pronounced man and wife.


Sara had planted the last of her flowers, she leaned back to get a good look at the flower pots lining the patio. Satisfied with her work, she got up and headed for the house.

She felt lightheaded as she stood, quickly grabbing onto a patio chair to keep her from toppling over.

"Too much sun..." She quickly decided and slowly made her way into the house.

After a cool glass of water, she still didn't feel any better. She felt her head start to spin, and she was instantly nauseous.

"Gil!!" Her voice cracked as she called out.

"Sara?" Grissom quickly appeared from the den, rushing to her side as he saw her leaning against the counter, holding on for dear life.

"I don't feel well..." She whispered.

"You're white as a ghost!" Grissom put his palm to her forehead. "No fever..."

"I'm dizzy..." She whispered as Grissom put his arms around her, trying to steady her.

"We're going to the hospital." Grissom told her as he helped her toward the door.

"I just need to lie down..." She whispered.

"We're going to the hospital." Grissom said again and helped her to the car.


Grissom watched her as she slept. He heart in his chest as he tried to forget the last time she had been laying in a hospital bed, IV tubes in her arm.

There was a small knock as the curtain moved, the young intern walking into the room.

"Mrs. Grissom?"

Sara stirred and smiled at the doctor. "Can I go home yet?"

"Yeah, I have the nurse drawing up the discharge papers as we speak; we just have a few things to go over before you leave."

"What happened? Is she going to be ok?" Grissom asked, worried.

"She will be fine." The doctor smiled, turning to Sara. "And I'm going to do a little ultrasound to make sure the baby is doing well before you go."

"The baby?" Grissom and Sara looked at each other confused.

"You didn't know?" The young intern looked panicked. "I'm so sorry... the resident was supposed to come in and tell you... I'm so sorry..."

"I'm pregnant?" Sara asked, her hands traveling to her stomach. "I didn't miss a period!"

"You don't always miss your period..." The doctor sat at the edge of the bed. "Was it lighter or shorter than usual?"

"I don't have heavy periods..." Sara told him softly.

"Well, we will get an ultrasound, see how far along we are here..." The doctor stood as a nurse wheeled in the machine. "You'll need to make an appointment with an ob/gyn. I can recommend one to you if you don't have a doctor you see on a regular basis."

"No, I have a doctor..." Sara said nervously as the nurse lowered the head of her bed.

Sara glanced over at Grissom, when she realized he hadn't said anything. "Gil?"

Grissom was at her side, grabbing her hand. "Yeah?"

"Are you mad?" She asked, tears in her eyes.

"No..." He whispered, smoothing her hair softly. "I might be in a bit of shock, but I could never be angry with you...you know that..." He smiled. "Besides, last time I checked, it takes two to make a baby..."

Sara giggled softly. "We've never really talked about..."

"But we'll be fine..." He nodded.

"Oh!" Sara smiled as she gripped his hand. "Catherine, Cadence and I will be pregnant at the same time!" She grinned, allowing herself to feel a little excited.

"That's right!" Grissom smiled. "Built in playmates for our baby..."

Sara smiled softly. "Our baby..."

"I have to say, I thought my time for children had come and gone..." He admitted. "But there is no one else I'd want to have a child with... We'll get through this..."

Sara winced as the cold gel was squirted on her stomach.

"Sorry..." The doctor smiled apologetically. "Oh! And there is baby!" He smiled as he pointed to the moving orb on the screen.

"Wow..." Was all Grissom could sputter as he watched the tiny bean on the screen move.

"Looks like we're at about nine weeks, 5 days gestation." The doctor smiled. "We might be able to get a heart beat!" He quickly grabbed the wand from a smaller machine and whirled it around Sara's stomach.

The room was suddenly filled with a loud whooshing sound and Grissom felt Sara's grip tighten. He looked at her and gave a soft smile.

"There is a person in there!" Sara laughed. "Oh, my, god..."

"Oh my god is right." Grissom laughed as he bent down and softly kissed her cheek.


Sara sighed as she tossed another 'Parenting' magazine to the floor. She lay on the couch, her feet on a stack of pillows, Hank dutifully lying at her feet. She curled her toes and softly petted the dog with her feet.

"Ok, I have to pee again..." Sara grunted as she wiggled her way off the couch. She waddled to the bathroom for what felt like the millionth time that evening and soon she was making her way to the fridge.

She stopped at the kitchen door and put her hand to her stomach as a soft cramp pulled at her abdomen.

"Stop that little one..." She laughed as she scolded her belly and continued into the kitchen.

Another cramp tugged at her insides and she stopped, growing worried. She shook her head as she opened the cupboard. "I'm not due for another three and a half weeks... must be more Braxton hicks..." She decided as she pulled the dog food from the cupboard.

Hank appeared in the doorway as he heard the sound of kibble hitting the bowl, but didn't move as Sara put the bowl on the floor.

"Hank?" Sara looked at the dog, who never missed an opportunity to gobble his dinner. "Come on, come eat..."

The dog inched slowly toward Sara and made a soft bark as Sara leaned to pet him.

"What is the matter?" Sara stopped as she felt something trickle down her leg.

"Oh no!" She stood and shook slightly as she grabbed for the phone.

"Grissom."

"Gil!" Sara breathed. "Gil, my water broke!"

"What? It isn't time!"

"I know! But tell that to your daughter!!" She grunted as another contraction pulled at her belly.

"I'm on my way!!" Stay there!!" Grissom told her, breathing heavy as he ran to his car.

"I wasn't planning on leaving..." Sara tried to joke as she slowly sat at the kitchen table.

"I'll be home in ten minutes!" Grissom assured her as she hung up the phone.

Hank whined at her side and she reached out and patted the dog's head. "You're a good boy." She whispered as he lay at her feet.
