AN/ Sorry for lack of updates. Real life bit me. Bit of a time jump here

DISCLAIMER/ I don't own CSI or its characters but the OCs are mine.

Ryan was definitely stressing out now, he could usually keep his cool better than Eric but right now be was totally loosing it. The morning had started out fairly easy with Natalia chilling at home after it became evident she really couldn't work, Calleigh had the day off so was going to spend some time with Natalia and finalise wedding plans. Ryan had headed to the lab although he wished he could stay with his missus and keep her company but alas he had to work. Now he was wishing he didn't have too as he now had to dash around the get to his car and then to the hospital.

[I] Dammit kid couldn't you wait a while.[/I] Ryan thought as he finally found his keys and for the first time in a while took the stairs because the elevator was too was in his car in record time and on the road in even less, he was grateful for the light traffic as he sped towards his destination. He inwardly cursed his OCD for needing him to put his stuff away in his locker neatly, anyone else would've just tossed it in. As he passed another slow moving car Ryan checked the time, he'd gotten the call twenty minutes ago, it would be half an hour by the time he got to the hospital. He was so glad Calleigh was with Natalia otherwise this would have been a massive disaster.

Finally after Ryan's frantic rush he arrived at the hospital, it took him another five minutes to park the SUV up to his satisfaction [i]damn OCD[/I], before he finally burst through the doors of the maternity ward. He walked over to the reception desk.

"I'm Ryan Wolfe, my wife came in here earlier." Ryan said trying to catch his breath.

"Ah yes you're just into time. Follow me." The brunette receptionist said with a smile before leading Ryan into the ward. It took about a minute for them to arrive at Natalia's room. The second he saw her he knew she was in pain and practically ran to her side, the one not occupied by Calleigh.

"I'm here Nat, I'm here." He said grasping her hand during another wave of pain.

Eric and Walter had wrapped up their last case and were now waiting for either more work or news on baby Wolfe. Horatio had long gone into his office, to fill out paperwork most likely.

"Should we go by the hospital?" Walter asked he was a little about his friend. The usually cool as a cucumber CSI had been flapping around like a headless chicken.

"Nah he'll be alright we should hear some news soon." Eric said trying to help settle his friends nerves. Just as Frank walked in with a big smile on his face.

"Elliot Matthew Wolfe was born at 5:00. Weighing 7lbs 4ounces." The older man said showing his friends a picture on his phone of both parents and baby. Walter saw the sparkle in Ryan's eyes, one that was lost after not having a great upbringing and he knew that kid tucked in his arms was going to have the best Dad in the world. Natalia looked tired but very happy.

"He's adorable." Eric spoke first genuinely excited for his friend. He texted Calleigh who the picture had come from.

'Congrats to the Wolfe Pack! You broody yet? X E' the reply followed quickly.

'They are so adorable. Maybe a little X C' Eric smiled before checking the time. Their shift had ended which meant they could go and see their friends and the new family member. It was true, the team where a haphazard family that had just been thrown together by life and Horatio was defiantly the father figure to most. Except maybe Ryan, he was always distant and to be fair it was the rest of the teams fault. They never accepted him as a family member rather a replacement for Speedle, who would find the way they treated Wolfe to be unacceptable. They pretty much accepted Jesse and Walter who seemed to take liking to Ryan and the three became very close like brothers and well Ryan and Natalia had always worked well.

Eric was pulled out of his thoughts by Walter asking if he was coming. He was actually very excited to see baby Wolfe. In jobs like theirs seeing little miracles really makes a massive difference and provides a bit of hope.

The team arrived at the hospital not long after their shift ended, they walked into the hospital and spotted Ryan waiting for them with a huge grin on his face. Walter couldn't help but smile at his friend who looked more happy than he had in a long time, in fact apart from his wedding he'd never seen the man as happy.

"Ready to meet him?" Ryan asked. The team all were bursting to see him so Ryan led them throught the hospital into the room where Calliegh and Natalia were. Natalia looked tired but was smiling contently at the little bundle in her arms wrapped in blue.

Eric walked over to Calliegh giving her quick peck before turning to the new little family. Walter had already gotten hold of the baby and was cooing at him. "He looks like his Mum, thank goodness." Walter said as Ryan just rolled his eyes at the subtle, playful insult. He did a quick check and saw that his baby was now with Jesse

"He beautiful." Jesse added as he looked at the baby who at that moment started wailing so Jesse handed him off to Ryan who effortlessy took the baby and started rocking him gently.

"You're a natural already." Eric commented before noticing Calliegh yawn. "We should head off and leave you guys in peace, Natalia looks spent." he said with a smile. He really just wanted to take his fiance home and cuddle on the sofa in front of a film.

"Sure thing. Thanks for stopping by." Ryan said still gently rocking the now silent child.

"By guys oh and Calliegh thanks." Natalia said with a massive smile.

"No worries you did all the hard work." Calliegh said giving Natalia a quick hug before leaving alongside Eric. The others took this as their queue to leave and said there goodbyes leaving Natalia, Ryan and baby alone.

"Our son is beautiful." Natalia said as Ryan placed the sleeping infant in her arms.

"He sure is." Ryan replied sitting in a chair next to the two.

Natalia looked at her little family as Ryan rubbed little circles on her neck, her family, she liked the thought of that. A tear rolled down her cheek as she drifted off to sleep with happy thoughts in her mind.

Ryan smiled as Natalia fell asleep she was exhusted and he knew it. He looked at his son a kissed the boy gently on his head. "Elliot Matthew Wolfe." He said the name out loud and smiled. He never wanted to be father but he wouldn't change this moment for the world. Soon Ryan also drifted of to sleep, he couldt wait to take their baby home.
