"Now you good or mommy while she goes shopping," Grissom smiled before kissing Sara's baby bump.
Smiling as he stood back up she saw Catherine pull up and Jim got out, "you guy's have fun and I got you some beer," she said opening the door to Jim.
"I'm all ready to paint," Jim announced walking in while Sara left to go maternity and baby shopping.
"You set," Catherine asked as Sara got buckled in.
Nodding her head she smiled at Lindsey who was busy ignoring them in the back listening to her IPod.
Arriving at the mall Catherine stopped to let her daughter out, "now meet us back here at 3pm sharp."
"Okay Mom god," she whispered before rushing over to her friends.
Smiling at Catherine, Sara shook her head, "what's up with Lindsey".
Parking the car she smiled again, "she's embarrassed that I'm pregnant."
"But why," she asked reaching for her bag.
"If I'm pregnant then it means I had sex and according to teenagers old people don't have sex," she said now chuckling.
Shaking her head Sara was glad it would be a long time until she had a teenager.
Hitting some department stores both women stocked up on clothes as both bellies had now expanded.
"So how is she getting on with Jim," Sara asked as they tried clothes.
"Strangely enough he's been my saviour though this," she said looking at herself in the mirror. "It was her birthday a few weeks back and like normal she didn't know what she wanted so I bought her the usual clothes, some new CD's and DVD's which she is never happy with and he bought her a new laptop and IPod which meant she was over the moon."
"Wow I guess he's her favourite person now," Sara said pulling on another top.
"Well it's not just that last weekend we went to my cousins wedding and they danced together for the father daughter dance. Plus she seems to talk to him a lot more than me and he tells me anything important. Besides he has a badge and ready access to sniffer dogs if any boys or bad kids turn up," she smiled.
After re-stocking their wardrobes they decided on an early lunch both craving milkshakes and burgers though Sara stuck to a vegi.
Both fed and watered they headed out to the mega baby store a few blocks away. Walking through the isles Sara was relieved to have Catherine who knew all the right products to buy.
Seeing Sara put some onesies in her cart Catherine put in some more, "you can't have enough of these and believe me you will go through them."
Nodding her head Sara selected some more and smiled at the ladybug print that Grissom would like.
After buying everything they needed in triplicate they ordered baby furniture well aware it was going to be fun watching Grissom and Jim put them together.
They then picking up Lindsey who tried to hide in the backseat as they drove back to see the decorating being done for Sara and Grissom's nursery.
"This is great," Sara said admiring the neutral tones.
"We can put up a border next week after we find out the babies sex," Grissom said wiping his hands on a rag. "So did you ladies have fun shopping," he asked as they all walked out the stairs.
"Yeah since Sara let me give her a makeover I can guarantee she will be a yummy mommy," Catherine said smiling.
Having some tea outside while the guys had their beer they talked through some of Catherine and Sara's latest cravings.
"I was woken up the other day to get pickles and a banana milkshake," Jim told him making a face. "And what's worse if when she decided they make a wonderful combination and started dipping the pickle in the yellow goop," he said before getting hit across the arm.
"Well at least she isn't craving mint sauce on everything including nachos," Grissom said taking a swig of beer shaking his head in repulsion.
Getting ready for bed that night Grissom found the cocoa cream and smiled as Sara sat reading her bible What to Expect When Your Expecting.
"Look how big the baby is," Sara smiled showing him the diagram. "I can't believe we're going to be looking after a baby in five months," she said putting the book aside and getting comfortable.
"I just can't wait to meet her," he smiled pulling up her shirt.
Glad he was connecting with the baby she was feeling apprehensive as next week they would have the ultra sound to confirm the sex. She knew he wanted nothing more than a daughter to spoil but there was every chance it could be a boy.
After lovingly rubbing the cream over her belly. He then reached for his copy of The Hobbit and started reading.
Allowing the melody of his voice wash over her Sara fell asleep.
"Okay Sara everything looks great and you're doing fine," Sue told them after her check up.
Waiting then for the ultra sound machine to be set up Sara squeezed his hand as Grissom grinned in anticipation.
"Right here is the heart beating away which looks normal. Would you like to know the sex," Sue asked.
"Oh yes," Grissom quickly answered searching the screen himself to see if he could figure it out.
"I would say that you're having a boy. If you look here", she pointed out.
Looking from the screen to her husband Sara held her breath for a moment before smiling as he stared transfixed at the screen.
"We're having a boy," he smiled looking over a Sara his heart melting. "Our son", he repeated as Sue printed off a picture.
"You're happy," Sara asked as she dressed.
"Yes, although I would like a Sara one day he is so amazing," he said now imagining a miniature of himself running around catching butterflies.
Unable to resist teasing she patted him on the arm, "I know little Gil will be perfect". Getting a look of shock back she burst out laughing.
"We're not calling him Gil or Gilbert," he told her as she continued to laugh.
"Okay what should we call him," she asked as he drove them home.
"Well my father's name was Thomas but I've always liked Joshua who was my favourite Uncle," he told her as they parked at her favourite Chinese take out restaurant.
"I like Thomas and Josh does have a nice ring to it. We'll ask you're mother next week when she comes to visit," she said after he ordered dinner.
Over the moon to have Lilly visit again Sara was determined to pick her brain for information on her weeklong visit. Although both were looking forward to attending some childbirth and baby care classes they knew first hand family experience was best.
Laughing silently as they bombarded her with questions Lilly held up her hand before signing. "I have a feeling I will be a lot of use in the coming months." Watching as her two favourite people smiled back she decided to tell them her news.
"Although I know Gilbert was happy with his life I have seen him flourish this past year and I am more than delighted to be a grandmother. So after long thought and discussion with Daisy my sister I have decided to move here to be closer to you three," she told them then waited for their reaction.
Moving forward Sara pulled her into a hug before pulling back to sign, "I am so happy now you can help with all of these questions."
Although taken aback by her announcement Grissom smiled and decided to discuss her decision in more detail later.

"Yes I am sure," Lilly signed as they prepared an early dinner before shift.
Putting down the wooden spoon Grissom shook his head and signed again, I know you are excited but I would not want you to lose all your friends and you do amazing work for the deaf community out there." He told her aware it could be difficult at her age to move away from everything she knew.
Lilly shook her head before pushing him aside to take over cooking, "I have waited long enough for a grandchild and want to see him every week not twice a year. Besides I have been offered some part time work at the deaf school, she informed him before adding more salt to the soup.
Nodding his head he knew that like Sara once his mother had made a decision nothing would stop her.
"Dinner's ready sweetheart," Grissom whispered giving Sara a kiss to wake her up.
"Mmm I was having a wonderful dream," she yawned before sitting up.
"About me I hope," he said helping her into her robe.
"Oh yes you were there covered in mint sauce and I was licking it all off," she teased before walking down stairs.
Finishing her second bowl of tomato and basil soup she licked her lips as Lilly bought over the salad and grilled tuna stake along with a bottle of mint sauce.
Finishing their main course she smiled again as Grissom started dishing out some ice-cream suddenly wondering if they had any pickles.
Mother-in-law moving to town ... I sence trouble ahead!
