"What happened to your wrist and where is Nick?" Grissom asked as he walked into the break room with Greg following him.
"They both require the same explanation." Warrick replied.
"You got into a fight with Nick?" Greg questioned.
"Sara had twins this morning and tried her best to break my hand while we were waiting for Nick to arrive."
"Twins?" Greg stated.
"Ben and Lizzie." Catherine replied. "They are really cute."
"It explains why she was so fat." Greg said.
"Greg don't mention that around Sara if you want to live." Warrick advised.
"Nick's going to want to take a few days off, although he has to be back in court at 9 am on tomorrow." Catherine said. "Judge gave him a pass."

"Is everything okay Mrs Stokes?" One of the nurses walked up to Sara.
"I'm just looking."
"It can be a lot to take in." The nurses understood. It was almost one am and Sara had been stood watching the twins sleep in the nursery for the past thirty minutes.
Nick had been kicked out when visiting hours had ended at 8.
"Tell me about it. I was only expecting one."
"Is there a history of twins in your family?" The nurses asked.
"Not on my side, but my husband has twin sisters and one of those has twin boys."
"Did you want them brought to your room?" The nurse offered.
"No. Don't disturb them. I just want to watch for a while."
"You should go back to bed soon; it's the middle of the night."
"I work graveyard, I'm used to being up at this time of night."
"You learn very quickly when you have a baby to get sleep when you can. That goes doubly for twins."
"I'll go back to bed soon I promise." Sara assured her. "I just need a few minutes."
"Okay."

"Yes Mom, I'm still sorry for not calling you right away but I was a little busy." Nick apologised to his mother for the tenth time. "Yes I've sent you the pictures and yes I'll see what I can do about picking you up, but I have to testify in court tomorrow and then Sara and the twins are coming home tomorrow afternoon…. Yes Mom I know…. I'll talk to you later." Nick sighed.
Nick gathered up everything and headed to the hospital.
When he reached Sara's room he found it empty.
"Have you seen my wife?" He asked one of the nurses. "Sara Stokes."
"She's probably down at the nursery again."
"Thanks." Nick walked towards the nursery.
When he got there he found Sara dressed in pyjamas, a robe and slippers stood next to Greg looking through the glass.
"Hey." He whispered in Sara's ear before kissing her cheek.
"I was expecting you an hour ago."
"Mom was complaining that I didn't call her until late last night to let her know she has two more grandchildren. She'll be here sometime tomorrow."
"Okay." Sara replied.
"He does look like you." Greg stated.
"That's good." Nick smiled.
"And she looks like Sara."
"How've they been since they kicked me out?"
"Mostly asleep although there was a lot of screaming in between." Sara replied.
"The nurse said she spent most of the night down here." Greg told Nick.
"They would have brought them to your room." Nick ran a hand down her arm.
"I know."
"I'll talk to the nurse." Nick told her. "Why don't you head back to your room?"
"Okay." Sara took a glance at her kids. "Come on Greg."
"Yes Mom."
