A/N: Sorry for the delay I've been on lates all week and I haven't had

It took Nick almost an hour to get to the hospital. Since they had already had the hospital tour he knew exactly where he was going.

Nick found Warrick sat on a chair rubbing a bandaged hand.

"Hey." Nick said.

"You made it." Warrick looked up. "She was worried that you'd switched your pager off while you in court."

"It went off just after I was sworn in."

"How come you're here?" Warrick looked at his watch.

"Judge gave me a 48 hour pass." Nick replied. "What happened to your hand?"

"Your wife made a good attempt at breaking it." Warrick explained. "She's been a lot more congenial since they gave her the drugs."

"Can I go in?"

"The doctor is in there now so I'd wait until he comes out." Warrick suggested. "And I'd loose the tie and jacket otherwise she's liable to strangle you."

"Thanks for bring her here." Nick told him.

"It's no problem bro. You scared?"

"Petrified."

"If it helps any I have a date with the nurse who bandaged my hand tomorrow night."

"Now I feel better." Nick replied sarcastically.

"The doctor said it wouldn't be more than a few hours, it was going pretty quickly."

"Are you sticking around?" Nick inquired.

"I don't have anywhere else to be."

"Right." Nick sat back against the wall.

"Mr Brown." A man dressed in scrubs came out of the room. "She wants you to find her husband and that's the polite version."

"That would be me." Nick spoke up.

"I'm Doctor Eustess."

"What happened to the other doctor?" Nick inquired.

"Vacation." The Doctor replied.

"How's it going?" Nick asked.

"It's all moving along very quickly for a first baby. I expect you should have a baby within next ninety minutes. You should go in and see her, her language is very colourful."

"Sounds about right. Thanks Doc."

"I'll be back to check on her in half an hour."

"Good luck." Warrick patted Nick on the back.

"Thanks man."

Nick entered the room.

"Hey darlin' I heard the party started without me." Nick joked.

Sara glared at him.

"Not a good time for jokes I see."

"Where the hell have you been?" Sara demanded.

"I was in court and had just been sworn in when you page me. The judge gave me a 48 hour pass, and then I got stuck in traffic. How are you doing?"

"How the hell do you think I'm doing?"

"Drugs didn't work?" Nick guessed.

"He said it was moving too fast for an epidural so they gave me something to take the edge of the contractions." Sara explained.

"I'm guessing you'd prefer something strong since you almost broke Warrick's hand."

"It didn't break it's just a little bruised."

"I know, he got a date with a nurse out of it."

"I'm glad my pain is working out for him."

"It will be worth it in the end." Nick assured her.

"Don't worry I have plenty of ways to kill you if you ever lay a hand on me again." Sara told him as another contraction hit.

"It's okay; just breathe through it like we learnt in class."

"Be grateful I don't have a gun."
