Chapter 21: God Bless You

A/N: Okay people Sara is nine months along! It's the moment you've all been waiting for! Get ready! Because here it comes!

Sara's due date was one day ago. And to say she was upset was an understatement. Nick time after time tried to comfort her and tell her the baby would be here soon. To be truthfully honest neither of them was fully prepared for this baby to arrive, but Sara wanted this kid out. Her ankles, feet and calves were swollen, her back was killing her, she couldn't lie down in bed comfortably, and she felt like she was about to explode. She was all round cranky, irritated, and frustrated. She could barely walk around, let alone get up or even tie her shoes. So Nick took the night off, got some snacks, and rented Sara's favorite movie (I really don't know any good movies that suit Sara's personality, so use your imagination here). They sat down on the couch turned off all the lights and tuned on the movie. About thirty minutes in the baby was as usual making Sara have to pee.

"I'll be right back" Sara said as she got up

"Okay" Sara said as he lightly smacked Sara on the butt as she got up.

Sara went to the bathroom and came back a few minutes later.

"You okay?" Nick asked as she came in the room.

"Yeah" she slowly set herself on the couch and plopped down.

They began to watch the movie for another fifteen minutes.

Sara sneezed and when she did she felt a gush of water running down her legs. She thought she was peeing on herself, but then she couldn't stop it.

"God Bless You"

"Nick" she sounded panicky

"Yeah" he asked eyes still glued to the screen

"My water just broke"

His head immediately snapped towards Sara. "Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure!"

"Oh, ok, what do we do know?"

"Wow I'm really not ready for this" Nick thought

"Well I don't know Nicky, I want to wash this stuff off my legs and then we need to get to the hospital!" Sara was frustrated and panicking. Was she really about to have a baby?

Nick helped Sara up off the couch and into the bathroom; he helped her wash her legs and crotch area. He went to the bedroom and got her a clear pair of underwear and a pair of sweats. When he came back Sara was on the toilet with the lid down, her eyes, closed tight, her hand resting on her belly silently fighting a contraction.

"I got your stuff babe" he said quietly

He tried to help Sara but she said she had it; she was going to try and be independent in some ways.

"Are the contractions bad yet?"

"No, but they will be soon"

Nick took her down to the living room, grabbed her bag and some shoes for the both of them. Sara called her doctor to let her know she was in labor. Dr. Jordan said she was on her way. Then they were out the door. The drive to the hospital was Nick prepping Sara for the labor process. Which Sara truly didn't mind she needed to get prepped up for this, labor was long and painful, but thank goodness Nick came around. She couldn't imagine being in labor alone. They pulled into Desert Palm emergency parking lot. When Sara had another contraction Nick went and got her a wheelchair instead of making her walk. They checked in with the receptionist and got routed to the room Sara would be in. A nurse came in and gave Sara a hospital gown to change into and told her that her doctor would be here shortly. Nick helped Sara lie down in the hospital bed.

"I'm really scared Nicky"

He kissed her forehead. "It's okay to be scared, but I'm not going anywhere okay?"

Sara nodded and then cringed through another short contraction.

Nick sent out a text to Catherine and then leaned down and kissed Sara. She wouldn't want anyone else to father her child.

Meanwhile at the lab…

The team was put on a triple homicide it was a confidential, and extremely high profile case. Nobody was working anything else that night. The team was discussing what

Evidence they had put together in the layout room and Catherine's phone vibrated. It was a text message from Nick.

Guess who's in labor?

Catherine squealed.

"You okay Cath?" Warrick asked

"Sara's in labor!"

"Really?" Greg asked with a huge smile on his face.

Greg and Catherine were suckers for babies, they loved them and now it felt like a family member was having one.

"Yeah!"

"Do you think we could visit her?" Greg asked

"You could, but women in labor are usually in a horrible mood, and I heard she was delivering naturally which is probably the most painful thing in the world" Catherine said replying to Nick's message, and then snapped her phone shut. "Besides, do you want to see Sara in labor or Sara after she had the baby? She might be tired and sore but that's better than actually seeing her in labor"

"Guess your right" Greg nodded "After shift I gotta go get a 'welcome to the world' gift"

Catherine laughed.

"Well nobody's going anywhere is going anywhere until we solve this case" Grissom said. And just like that everyone was back on track.

One hour later, back at the hospital…

The contractions were getting more intense. Sara made a soft groaning noise every time she got one. She squeezed her eyes shut. She was feeling horrible but Nick was there by her side. And that made her feel a hell of a lot better, seen as he couldn't be here. He offered up his hand about a half an hour ago, she hasn't let go since.

"Hello" Dr. Jordan came in with a smile on her face

"Hi" Nick said as Sara had another contraction.

"How are the contractions?"

"There getting worse" Sara mumbled

"Would you like an epidural?"

"No… everything has…got to be…natural" Sara spit out in the middle of a contraction

Dr. Jordan nodded "Ok well I'm just going to check you out down there okay, see how dilated you are"

Sara nodded and the doctor opened up Sara's legs and checked her out. "Okay you're at one and a half centimeters, you gotta get to ten."

Sara groaned again. Why is her doctor telling her things she already knew?

"If you need anything push the button, I'll be back in an hour to check you again"

Sara nodded. When she left she rested her head on the pillow and sighed. "This is gonna take forever" her face contorted at another contraction.

Nick leaned in and kissed her forehead "You can do it Sara, I know you can" he whispered.

Six hours later…

At the lab

"I can barely concentrate; all I can think about is Sara!" Catherine smiled at Warrick and Greg

"I know, I can't wait to get outta here and go find my gift!" Greg said thinking if about what he would buy.

"You gave 'em plenty of stuff at the baby shower, you really think they need more?" Warrick asked

"Oh Warrick you know that baby will be spoiled rotten by everyone here" Catherine laughed

"And Nick, she's gonna have him wrapped around her little finger, if she asks for something, I bet Nick will be the one to get it" Greg laughed

"What about Sara? She'll be a new mom, she hasn't really dealt with kids much, besides her brothers daughter and she's not a newborn" Warrick commented

"I bet you they'll be beat for a while, when she's first born. Taking care of a newborn is hard, I know that firsthand" Catherine added

"I wonder what kind of parents they'll be" Greg stared straight ahead

"I have a feeling Sara will be the softy, and Nick will be strict only when she needs it" Warrick snickered.

"I remember when I first found out Sara was pregnant, I couldn't believe what I was hearing Sara Sidle pregnant! And Nick Stokes the father. Can you just imagine her in labor? Or with a baby in her arms?" Greg asked

"Sara seems like she'd be a screamer in labor" Catherine said aloud

"Nah, I think she'd be able to control screaming screaming, but you know I think she's more of a crier" Warrick added

"Do you think she'd be offended if we ask?" Greg smiled

Catherine shrugged "Well I guess she won't be all mood swingy so maybe not"

Warrick laughed out loud "I remember when she was eight months along, she dumped a bottle of water on Hodges for saying she looked like a whale"

The trio laughed.

"I remember that!" Greg laughed "And when that kiss-ass went to Ecklie, Sara went off on him too!"

They all laughed again.

"I really do hope she's okay, labor is hard work" Catherine said calming down.

"I'll call Nicky" Warrick said pulling out his phone.

Meanwhile at the hospital…

Sara groans escalated to high pitched whimpers. She clutched Nicks hand for her life. Her doctor checked her several minutes ago. She was only a mere four centimeters dilated. Four! How the hell was she gonna get through this.

"Oh my god" Sara said as another contraction hit her.

The contractions were getting to be longer and closer together. She didn't know how she did this for seven hours already. She wanted this baby out now.

"I guess I'll think again before screwing you without a condom on again huh?" Nick smiled.

Sara laughed. "Can you get me some ice chips?"

"Yeah," Nick got up and kissed her forehead and walked to retrieve a cup of ice chips. He walked out and his cell phone rang.

"Stokes"

"Hey how's Sara? Is she dealing with the contractions okay?" Warrick asked

"How did you know she was in labor?"

"Please Nicky, Catherine might as well of put flyers all over the lab, everyone knows she's in labor"

"Oh, well I think she's doing pretty good, I can tell she's in pain which really sucks, 'cause I cant do anything about it, she refused an epidural, I'm getting her ice chips now"

"She's a strong girl, she can do it, but I gotta go Grissom found out we were gossiping about you two and not working" Warrick said with a smile

"Ha Ha very funny" Nick said sarcastically "Have fun, I gotta get back to Sara and gossip about you"

Warrick chuckled "I'll talk to you later man"

"Bye Rick"

They hung up and Nick retrieved the ice chips and walked back into Sara room and began popping them in her mouth when she requested.

A/N: Gonna speed it up, time to push Sara! (-:

Sara was officially twenty-eight hours into labor, and officially ten centimeters and lastly but not least officially ready to push. Her legs were up on the stirrups and her face was coated with sweat that Nick was wiping off with a damp facecloth. Sara's doctor was at her legs and there were three other nurses in the room. The lab was ecstatic to find out Sara was beginning to push. Nobody was able to concentrate, they were too focused on the birth of there baby CSI. Sara was breathing hard and Nick told her to take deep, long breaths, but she was taking short, quick breaths.

"Okay Sara when I tell you to push you take a deep breath and push till I count to ten" Dr. Jordan said from between her legs.

Sara quickly nodded. Nick dabbed the sweat off her forehead and held onto her hand.

"You can do this Sara"

"Okay Sara push"

Sara took a deep breath and pushed, squeezing Nick's hand.

"Ouch" Nick said about his hand

"Good job Sara, again"

This time Sara cried out as she pushed. The actual pushing was ten times worse then the contractions. Sweat beads began pouring down her face. Nick gently dabbed it away with the facecloth.

"Okay Sara again"

Once again Sara cried out when she began to push. "I want the epidural!" Sara raised her voice.

"It's too late Sara, the baby is on her way now" Dr. Jordan rubbed her leg.

"No, no, no I will make sure the baby doesn't come out, I will keep her in there, just please I really don't know how much longer I can take this just please just get the epidural"

"You have to push again"

Sara reluctantly pushed again with tears running down her face. "Get me something!"

"It's too late Sara you gotta do this naturally"

Nick jumped into the conversation "There has too be something you can do to help ease her pain"

"I'm sorry Mr. Stokes; she just has to push through the pain"

He kissed her forehead "You can do this baby I'm not going anywhere"

Sara cried out again as she pushed and tears began to run down her face again. Nick wiped her eyes and the sweat that was beginning to form.

"Is it normal to feel nauseous?" Sara asked

"Absolutely"

"I'm gonna throw up"

Dr. Jordan pointed out the bucket that Nick was sitting next to. He reached down and handed it to her and everyone listened to her throwing up.

"You okay baby?" Nick asked

"I'm in labor, do I look okay?"

Sara pushed again and again for at least thirty minutes.

"It's burning and stinging down there" Sara said breathing heavily

"You're entering the ring of fire"

"What the hell is that?" Sara asked taking short, quick breaths.

"The baby is crowning your almost done"

A towel was placed on her stomach so when the baby came out they could partially wipe her down on Sara's stomach.

Sara cried out and pushed again. The babies head was out, then the shoulders, her body was inching out more and more. Until a babies cry entered the room.

Sara rested her head back with relief. "Thank you god"

The doctor placed the baby on Sara's stomach and began to clean her, then handed her to the nurse to get checked out and clean her up.

"You did it Sara, I knew you could" Nick said and kissed her on the lips "I love you so much, I'm so proud of you"

"I love you too Nicky" Sara smiled

"Seven pounds, twelve ounce, twenty-one inches, perfectly healthy beautiful baby girl"

The doctor wrapped her up in a swaddling blanket and put a pink infant cap on her head and placed her in Sara's arms.

"She's so pretty" Sara said lightly touching her soft cheek.

"She looks like you"

"And you too"

Truth was she was way too young to tell, but they were just happy she was finally here.

Sara placed the new life in Nick's arms. Nick climbed into the bed with Sara and they laid next to each other, marveling over Poppy Nicole Stokes.

"Oh yeah the lab wanted me to call when she was born" he placed Poppy back into Sara's hand who gladly accepted her and Nick called Catherine.

"Guys, guys, guys he's calling!" Catherine tried to quiet the commotion. The lab was anticipating the call from Nick saying that the child was born.

"Hello?" Catherine answered in an upbeat voice

"She's here"

Catherine heard a baby gurgling in the back round. "Is that her?"

"Yeah"

"We'll be there in a few hours!"

"Sounds good, they need there rest"

"Bye"

"Sara had the baby!" Catherine shouted to the crowd.

There was a round of shouting and yelling. Hugs and kisses were exchanged. There was a new baby CSI.
