Scattered in the waiting room of the maternity ward in the hospital were the members of the graveyard shift and Detective Jim Brass. They were all waiting patiently to be introduced to the newest Grissom in town filling the time with pleasant small talk and various waiting room games invented by Greg.

The soft click of the door opening drew all their attentions to the door as Sara walked in. They all jumped to their feet and surrounded her.

"Hey guys!" Sara greeted them.

"Hey how are you feeling?" Catherine put her arm round Sara and gave her a hug.

"Alright I guess a little sore." She sighed, her voice was quiet. Catherine shook her head in sympathy.

"Four and a half hours! Lucky bitch!" She grumbled. Everyone laughed.

"So would you guys like to come meet our daughter?" Sara asked. The answer was a resounding, "yes!" Sara turned and led them to her room where Grissom had been changing Lily and now stood at the end of the bed holding her in his arms.

"Hey everyone!" His smile was broad as he greeted his friends. "There's someone here I'd like you to meet." Grissom lowered his arms allowing everyone to get a better look at the baby girl. She was adorable. She looked just like Sara, in fact there didn't seem to be many of Grissom's attributes about her at all. The team gave a collective "aww" as they looked at her.

"Can I hold her?" Catherine asked; her maternal instincts were in over drive after the birth of her own child.

"Of course!" Replied Gill passing the bundle to Catherine. "After all, her Godmother should be the first one to hold her after her parents." He smiled at her as she realised that he was asking her to be the Godmother of their baby.

"Really?" Her eyes filled with tears as she watched the two of them nod. "I'd be honoured. Hi." She smiled down at the little girl. "Does she have a name yet?" She asked.

"Elizabeth." Sara answered. "But Lily for short." The group gave another collective "aww"

"That's beautiful." Catherine smiled. The rest of the team were gathered around her looking intently at the baby Grissom.

"Lily." Repeated Greg. "That's so cute. I didn't know it was short for Elizabeth though."

"Yeah." Nodded Sara. "It was my Grandmother's name and my Mom's middle name; I just thought it was nice."

"It is!" Agreed Nick. "It suits her!" He smiled.

"Alright Cath come on, you've had your turn, let someone else hold her." Brass said impatiently.

"Yeah Cath, let her Godfather hold her." Sara said with a smile. Brass' mouth dropped and his eyes widened in shock. Then a smile crept over his face and tears filled his eyes.

"Really?" He looked at them almost to make sure he's heard Sara correctly as he accepted Lily from Catherine. "I'd be honoured!" He smiled at them, fighting hard to hold back his tears.

"Hey baby girl. Well aren't you a cutie? You look just like your Mommy so you do!" He spoke softly to the baby in his arms as the rest of the team exchanged looks. This was not a sight they were used to. Bad-ass Brass acting like some kind of doting Grandparent over a newborn baby. It was unusual to say the least. "Hey Gil, she really does look a lot like Sara...you sure she's yours?" Brass looked up to the face of his old friend and raised his eyebrows to let him know he was teasing him. Now that was more like the Brass everyone knew and loved. Everyone laughed at the comment, even Grissom.

"I see what you mean Jim, she is gorgeous...definitely all Sara." He smiled and kissed Sara's shoulder.

"Alright now, it's Uncle Warrick's turn." Warrick held out his hands to take the baby from Brass, it seemed he'd really gotten the baby fever since his and Catherine's son was born.

"Uh...No way man! It's Uncle Nicky's turn." He shoved Warrick out of the way and held out his own hands for the baby.

"I think you are all forgetting about Uncle Greg's turn being next." Greg said stepping in front of Warrick and Nick. A small ruckus ensued as they continued to shove and 'debate' over who would hold the baby next.

"Guys, guys guys!" Grissom called for order. "Relax, she's not going anywhere you'll all get a chance to hold her." He laughed softly. His little girl was only a few hours old and already she had men fighting over her. He sighed; knowing that this meant trouble for him.

After everyone had taken their turn to hold and fawn over the baby Grissom announced that it was time for her to be fed and for Sara to get some rest. He then reminded him that they should all go home and get some sleep because he was starting his paternity leave as of now. They grumbled, only slightly, as the filed out of the room bidding Sara and Lily goodbye on their way.

Lily was soon fed and laid down in her cot to sleep. Sara lay propped up in bed with Grissom lying up beside her. He held her hand in his, their fingers entwined gently playing with each other.

"Well Daddy?" Sara asked Grissom with a grin on her face. "She's finally here, our little girl." She looked over at the cot where their daughter was lying, sleeping peacefully.

Lily Grissom had a full head of dark brown hair, the same high, round cheek bones as her mother, the same jaw line of her mother and the few times she had opened her eyes Grissom had been convinced that they would turn out to be the same deep chocolate colour that her mothers were. Her milky white skin made her tiny lips appear very red as they formed a perfect pout that he knew would be used later in her life to wrap him around her little finger. She really was a beautiful baby.

"I know!" He smiled back at her, every inch the doting father. "She's perfect isn't she?"

"Perfect!" Sara repeated sleepily as her eyes fell shut. He sat up and kissed her softly on the cheek before pulling the blankets up over her and reclining her automated bed. He relocated himself to the chair in the corner of the room where he contented himself with watching his girls sleep, feeling like the luckiest man alive. He had everything and it was right inside this room with him now. Slowly he too drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

A/N: So, we're nearing the end and that last chapter was pretty much just a bit of harnless fluff. I hope you liked it! I have a feeling the next chapter will be the last and I'd like to thanks all of you who have read my story and those of you who have reviewed. I really appreciate it!
