Both Catherine and brass's mouths dropped open. Catherine quickly knocked on the door signaling him to come out. He got up, handed her some tissues, and left.
"Brass did she just say what I think she did? Or am I going deaf?"
"No she said it. I heard her loud and clear."
"Should I tell him?"
"No let her tell him. It is his."
"Ok I told him I would bring him some coffee so I better get back in there. And tell her to stop smoking."
"Ok."
Catherine walked back into the room with a large steaming cup of coffee and sat it down in front of grissom. She sighed deeply, flipping through the file, hoping he couldn't see her really wonder what she had just heard.
"Catherine? What's wrong?"
"Oh… it's nothing."
"There's something you're not telling me. Did something happen to Ashley?"
"No grissom… she's fine."
"What the hell happened?! Why isn't anyone giving me a goddamned answer?!"
Ashley ran in the room, wondering what happened because she could hear him screaming from the next room. She flew open the door, and he grabbed her shoulders making her face him.
"What happened to you? Catherine came in and stared at the file not saying anything, and I thought something was wrong with you. Are you ok?"
"Well I guess this would be a good time to tell you."
"Tell me what baby?"
"Uh… I'm…"
"What? You're what?"
"I'm… pregnant."
"P…pregnant?"
"Yes."
"When? When did you find out?"
"Yesterday. I tried my best to tell you but I couldn't find any words."
He let go of her shoulders and hugged her. Overjoyed by this news he was happier than he has ever been. He leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. He pulled away and she put her head on his chest.
"You're not mad at me are you?"
"What? No I'm mad. I'm happy. I'm going to be a father! This is happy news!"
"I'm glad."
"Why?"
"I thought you were going to leave me."
"I would never leave you, for nothing in the world."
Brass grabbed her arm, and pulled her out of the room.
"I love you Gil."
"I love you baby."
