"Nick," Catherine hissed.

"Five more minutes," Nick grumbled. He was face down in his pillow.

"My water just broke," Catherine hissed again.

"Coming!" Nick practically yelled at fell out of the bed.

"Go call Sara, tell her to come watch Lindsey. And get me to the hospital!"

Nick scrambled and called Sara. She came over right away. Nick helped Catherine into the car.

The doctor got Catherine a room right away. Nick stood long ways in the room and paced back and forth.

"A watched pot never boils," Greg said entering the room.

"He is scared," Catherine breathed.

"Nick Stokes? The crime stopper? HA!" Greg handed Nick a cup of coffee because it was 2 in the morning.

"He doesn't understand that this is going hurt me more then the baby," Catherine winced and Nick jumped.

"Dude, she gave birth to Lindsey. Calm down, you are a little jumpy," Greg laughed.

"Can I talk to you?" Nick grabbed Greg by the arm nearly knocking over his coffee in the process.

"What?" Greg asked once they where in the hallway.

"I don't want to lose them," Nick sighed.

"Nick, listen to me. If you think negative, then negative things happen. If you think positive, positive things will happen. This baby is half Nick Stokes for god's sake! You are the most hardheaded person on this earth, next to Sara. You were buried alive! You had a stalker! Your Nick Stokes, Crime Stopper! You face people everyday that have murdered people, and could possibly come after you. And you are scared that something like that would happen? We are talking about Catherine Willows! She grew up on the streets of Vegas! I mean she was a stripper at one point! The baby is half you half her. She is going to be stubborn, hardheaded, good looking child on this planet!" Greg's arms were all over the place.

Nick gave Greg a smile, "Thanks Greggo."

"Now go spend time with your fiancé before your spedbarn gets here!"

"My what?"

"Baby! Now go!"

"What ever you say, speed barn."

"It's spedbarn you wing nut now go!" Greg pushed Nick into Cath's room and shook his head. They sat for what seemed like days, discussing what ever came to mind first. Then the time came. The baby was coming fast. The doctors told Catherine what to do and where for Nick to stand.

"Push! One more time!" The doctor said as Catherine let out a scream and squeezed Nick's hand so hard he thought for sure it would fall right off. About two hours later, Nick walked out and found the team sitting in the waiting room. Wendy and Mandy were talking to themselves. Lindsey fell asleep on Greg's shoulder, who was drinking coffee. Sara was holding Grissom's hand. Hodges and Archie were talking too.

"So?" Wendy jumped up. Nick sighed and looked at everyone. Nick could tell he was scaring them.

"DUDE!" Greg jumped up and ran over and shook Nick.

"Well," Nick rubbed his hands together, "It's a… girl!"

"YES!" Lindsey jumped up and scared everyone half to death.

"What did you name her?" Sara asked.

"Noelle Blair Stokes," Nick smiled proudly.

"Can we see them?" Mandy asked, waiting to sprint to the door.

"Yes," Nick smiled as the girls ran out of the room like their butts were on fire. Greg, Hodges, and Archie patted him on the back. Doc, Dave and Brass had saw the mad rush and smiled at Nick and followed everyone else.

Grissom walked up to him and handed him a little dark blue marble and said, "Nicky. If life ever gets crazy, roll with it." Grissom left the waiting room the way the happy friends life as Nick rolled the little blue marble around in his hand.
