Ch13: Laughs

9 months pregnant... Finn insisted on working right until she had the baby because after this it would be a strange transition from CSI to stay at home mother. DB agreed to let her work but she couldn't leave the lab similar to when Nick was injured and he helped out the cases from the inside and the lab rats. Finn looked around the lab soon she won't be seeing much of this place anymore. Nick watched Finn as she sat in the break room rubbing her belly, stuck in deep thought. It looked like she was trying to smuggle a beach ball under her shirt. Their boy was going to be a big one.

"You alright?" Nick asked going in the break room sitting across from her, moving her legs to on his lap.

"Yeah." Finn said releasing a deep breath.

"Maybe you should go home and rest." Nick said seeing that her ankles were swollen again.

"I'm fine." She said smiling.

"This poor kid is probably going to be born here." Nick chuckled as well as Finn.

"The hospital is only a short drive." Finn said Nick just shook his head.

"Just don't do too much." Nick said to her as he stood up. Greg and him had to go out to the field. Finn smiled as she watched Nick leave. He was definitely more nervous about the whole delivery process and when the baby would come then her.

Finn actually caught Nick and Greg looking up the various ways of birth on YouTube a couple days ago. This then led to endless teasing by Greg as their faces quickly turned to horror and almost disgust. Nick quickly shut his laptop his face blank.

"You are still here?" Hodges said coming in the break room to enjoy his own lunch.

"Yes?" Finn said confused.

"I mean the Texan didn't send you home?" Hodges said, Finn scrunched her face confused and almost offended like Nick would make Finn do something she didn't want to.

"Excuse me?"

"I mean like all of these chemicals can't be good for little Stokes. Are you going to hyphenate his name? Or is he going to have Nick's last name?"

"That's none of your business." Finn said surprised at home incredibly nosy Hodges was. She hadn't yet experienced it before.

"Well you did solve a long term mystery of the lab rats." Hodges said eating some chicken nuggets.

"What would that be?" Finn said confused. She had realized that the lab rats were their own special bread of people and had their own ways to stay busy. Which included a lot of paper football, basketball, and tons of gossip.

"There was a rumor that Nick was sterile." Hodges said with a straight face. Finn open mouth laughed.

"Why? Where would that ever come up in conversation?" Finn said laughing so hard she felt as if the baby was laughing too.

"Nick, has had a long string of girlfriends and you are the only one who has gotten pregnant. There should be a couple dozen little Stokes running around… but no there is only one." Finn laughed again she couldn't help it.

"What do you all say about me?" Finn said trying to calm her laughter but her abdomen was still tight from laughing.

"Well…" Hodges said but Finn felt a strange release and a wetness between her legs.

"Oh…" she said finally her abdomen get tight.

"Oh my god." Hodges said his eyes as big as they would go. "Are you alright?"

"Hodges… my water broke." Finn said just as surprised as Hodges.

"What do I need to do?" Hodges said just as worried.

"Call Nick!" she screamed as she felt another contraction rock her to her core. She grabbed Hodges hand for support damn near breaking it.

"Nick! Nick… you got to come back!" Hodges said his face twisting as his hand started to hurt. "Finn's water broke! Okay… okay… I'll tell her…" Hodges said hanging up. "Nick said to remember your breathing exercises and he's on his way back." Hodges said but was interrupted by Finn's screams.

Within moments DB and half of the lab was inside. Finn felt angry because of the pain as another contraction passed. Finn released a deep breath rubbing her stomach trying to ease the pain of the contraction. She started to panic as DB tried desperately to keep her calm.

"Finn!" Nick yelled pushing through the crowd. Nick knelt down in front of Finn as DB moved aside.

"Nick… its time!" Finn said trying to maintain her steps. She couldn't help but notice that Nick's face was the red as a tomato and his eyes were glassy. Nick thought for sure that his heart was going to beat out of his chest or explode.

"Okay… okay, Greg has the car ready outside." Nick said trying to pretend that he was calm and collective. Nick helped Finn get to her feet as did DB. Finn waddled to the elevator grunting and groaning in pain. The fact that Finn was in pain, and that everything Nick was suppose to do just slipped his mind and he felt helpless. Then the elevator was going slow. Finn dug her nails in Nick's forearm as another contraction came. Nick scooped her up and DB opened the door to the stairs and off they went.

Nick buckled Finn in the car being gentle and using so much care that Finn was grateful. Nick was careful not to let the seatbelt hit her face or that it wasn't tight around her stomach.

"Is that good?" Nick asked his hands shaking he couldn't believe this was finally happening.

"Perfect! Drive please!" Finn said squeezing the seatbelt. Nick nodded taking the keys from Greg. Nick drove like a maniac to get to the hospital. He didn't know how much time they had before their boy would be here.

"Just breath!" Nick said excited he made the mistake of grabbing her hand only to have it squeezed until they got to the hospital.

Once they got to the hospital everything started to slow down. The nurses at the hospital were great, they got Finn's OBGYN and got her situated in a room. Once they gave her, her epidural everything was calm and better. Finn wasn't screaming and wasn't in pain.

"Miss Finlay, we are going to pull the epidural away. It's time to push." The doctor said, Finn grabbed Nick's hand. Nick took a deep breath and nodded. He started to feel light headed, and tried to remain calm but it was time.

The entire thing seemed so surreal. Nick was trying to be the best coach and breathing partner he could be but all of a sudden he felt dizzy hearing Finn scream.

"Push!" The doctor ordered and Finn pushed squeezing Nick's hand. Finn whimpered in pain. "Push!" the doctor said again.

"You are doing so well." Nick whispered in Finn's ear maintaining his own composure, but the room was in fact spinning.

"The head is out." The nurse said motivating Finn. "One more good push to get his shoulders out."

"Push!" the doctor said and Finn screamed pushing. Then there were little cries that sung to their ears. Nick hugged Finn.

"You did it!" Nick said, as there little son's cries filled the room. He sounded like a little pterodactyl. Finn hugged him and pushed him away to see their son. Nick turned to see his son.

His son was beautiful. Brown hair that was astray from afterbirth. Nick felt an unconditional love and bond with his son. Nick just felt so overwhelmed with happiness. Nick realized that the room was spinning more than before.

"Nick?" Finn asked trying to regain her composure as she watched Nick collapse next to her bedside. Nick tried to catch himself but just fainted.

"Daddy is down." The nurse chuckled going over to check on Nick.

The baby is here! Nick and Finn are now parents. The next chapter will be last one. The fourth installment is almost ready. Please Review but what do you think?
