This chapter is actually take two on the delivery. It was requested to not have the gang around while it happened and I thought it was a great idea. Hope you like it.

Pains and Cries take two

The crew all began to disband and Grissom helped Sara out of her chair. Sara yelled over her shoulder that they had better help with all the presents, eliciting laughter from them. Half an hour later and Sara was comfortably sitting in the passenger seat while Grissom drove them home.

By the time they pulled into the driveway she was sound asleep and Grissom had to nudge her awake. When she opened her eyes he was smiling down at her. "Come on sleepyhead, let's get you to bed" he said as he helped her out of the car.

Grissom was dreaming about a new species of dragonfly he discovered. He caught it with his net and began to give it a thorough inspection. Suddenly a fish jumped out of the water and took the insect out of his hand soaking Grissom on the way back into the water.

He was just inspecting himself when he heard Sara calling him. He finally opened his eyes to find Sara leaning over him and continuing to shake him.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Gil, my water broke!" she said quickly "Aaahhh..." she moaned out as a contraction began to rip through her belly "and I don't think I can make it to the hospital" she finished while gritting her teeth against the pain.

"Don't move" he said quickly getting up from the bed and grabbing his phone, just now noticing his pajama's were wet. He ran into the bathroom for some towels while dialing 911.

"Nine-one-one, state the emergency" a female voice said on the other end of the line.

"My wife is in labor with twins and I don't think she's going to make it to the hospital" he said while grabbing a stack of towels and running back into the room. Sara was doubled over on the bed panting her way through another contraction.

"Sir, the ambulance is on the way and I am going to conect you with them" she said while Sara let out a yell.

"Sara honey, they're on their way" he said to her just as a male voice sounded over the line.

"Sir, I need you to see if you can see the baby yet" the paramedic said.

"Honey I need you to lay down" Grissom said to Sara while helping her. He pulled her nightgown up and removed her sopping underwear. "I can see the head!" he practically yelled into the phone.

"Gilllll...hurrrryyyy" Sara yelled through the pain ripping it's way through her body as she grasped her stomach with her hands.

"Sir?" he heard over the phone "your going to have to help your wife" Grissom nodded as if the man could see him. He quickly placed the phone on speaker and placed it on the bed.

"What do I do?" he yelled so he could be heard over Sara.

"Do you have any clean linen with you?" the paramedic asked.

"Yes, I have clean towels" he answered.

"Place them under your wife to keep the area clean."

"Done, now what?"

"Sara is it?" the paramedic asked knowing he was on speaker.

"Yes" she managed to hiss out.

"On the next contraction you need to push with all you've got alright"

"Ok" she said quickly, already feeling it begin to overtake her body.

"Sir, your going to have to help the baby when she pushes" he instructed Grissom.

"Ok" Grissom replied. "Sara push honey!" he encouraged while watching as the baby's head began to crown.

"I see it! Push honey...come on...just a little more. The heads out" he said quickly.

"Ok Sir now gently turn the baby around while pulling. Sara push" the man instruced.

"Push honey, push" Grissom encouraged as he gently grabbed the baby and did as he was instructed. He could hear the sirens now but gave them no mind as he helped Sara deliver his daughter.

"She's out!" he yelled.

"Good. Now wrap the baby in a towel and place her face down in your hand and gently pat her on the back to get the mucus out." Grissom did as instruced and soon the room was filled with the sound of a baby crying.

"Honey you did it" Grissom said with a tear in his eye.

"Sir, we're just now pulling up outside" Grissom handed the baby to Sara and quickly ran to the door to let them in. He looked a sight, soaking wet with a mixture of blood and amniotic fluid. He guided them to the room and they rushed to Sara.

"I see we're a little late: the paramedic said as he rushed over to the baby as another went to work on Sara.

"This is only the opening act" Sara commented as a contraction made it's way through. While the paramedic with the baby clamped off the umbilical cord and handed Grissom a pair of scissors the other helped Sara to deliver the afterbirth.

"I assume you have something for the babies here?" the paramedic asked. Grissom nodded his head and ran to the babies room to get diapers and blankets.

When he came back the paramedics were getting Sara loaded onto the gurney for the trip to the hospital. The paramedic with the baby handed her over to Grissom and he struggled his way through his first diaper before tightly wrapping her in the blanket.

He followed Sara and the paramedics to the ambulance and climbed in with the baby. Sara was now resting on the bed, no more contractions ripping through her body. She looked worriedly at the paramedic.

"Is everything alright? How come I'm not having any contractions?" she asked him.

"It's normal ma'am" he replied before placing a wand on her stomach. A fast steady beat soon filled the small space of the ambulance and both Sara and Grissom relaxed.

"Sometimes the second baby likes to take their time" he finished before checking her vitals and then those of the baby's in Grissom's arms.

The baby did indeed take its time entering the world. Sara was in labor for ten hours before finally giving birth to the second baby girl. Both Grissom and Sara laughed when they realized the twins had different birthdays.

Sara was resting comfortably with one of her daughters suckling at her breast while Grissom held the other in his arms when there was a knock on the door and Greg peaked his head in.

"Is it alright to come in?" he asked.

Sara placed a blanket over herself and the baby and Grissom opened the door to allow Greg, Nick, Warrick, Catherine and Brass in.

Brass went right up to Sara and wrapped her in a loose hug. "How's my girl?" he asked.

"I'm fine Jim" she said as he beamed down at her. Grissom was surrounded by the other four, who were making all kinds of cooing noises at the baby.

"Where's the other one?" Nick asked

"Eating" Sara responded just as she felt the baby let go.

"Oh" was all he said in response. "Do you need some privacy?" he asked.

"Nick, if I wanted privacy every time I needed to feed these two I would never get to see anyone. I'm covered" she said as she pulled her nightgown up and pulled the blanket away.

She placed the baby on her tummy and gently began to rub her back; soon they all heard one of the cutest burps they had ever heard. Just to make her point the baby currently being held in Grissom's arms began to cry.

"May I?" Jim asked and Sara nodded her head. He carefully picked the baby up out of Sara's arms and cuddled her close to himself. The rest of them looked on as he pulled the baby up close and took in a deep breath.

"There is nothing like the smell of a new baby."

Ok, now give me a review and let me know which one you like more.
