They were lucky, when they arrived home, Mrs. Jax told them that Jr. had just gone down for a nap. They said good bye to her after paying her. Grissom literally heaved Sara over his shoulder and carried her to bed. She wisely said nothing because she knew that he was determined to have his way. He quickly undressed her, but not himself.
"Time out. Let me call Sophia and tell her to be here in one hour." He sat back and waited patiently while she made her phone call. The second that she hung up, she found herself on her back. He covered her body and had his snack. Once she could breathe normally, she hopped in the shower. Grissom cleaned his face up and answered the door. Sophia and Nick were both standing there.
"Couldn't wait another two hours could you?" She teased, as Grissom granted them access.
"It's been more than six weeks, Sophia." Nick had a brief flash of pain flicker through his eyes at the impending forced abstinence. Sara rejoined them roughly ten minutes later with a baby in her arms.
"Who's taking him?"
"I will. Go have a good time." Grissom volunteered. The foursome packed up and left to go to their fittings. Grissom and Nick took the baby in Grissom's car and Sophia drove the ladies.
"He is so cute, Sara. Any more?"
"Thank you. We haven't discussed it. Gil was very anxious to get us home today. He wanted me to call you and see if we could go out tomorrow." Sophia laughed.
"I never would have pictured him to be that impatient."
"We'll see how Nick is when he won't be able to have sex with you for six weeks or more." Understanding flashed through the other woman's eyes.
"Would you like us to babysit for a while?"
"I think Gil would love that. We will return the favor for you." Sophia parked the car and they went into the dress shop together. Sara's dress needed no alterations and neither did Sophia's. They paid for their dresses and Sara agreed to keep Sophia's dress at her house.
Sara walked in the house and silently began to gather things that Nick and Sophia would need for the time that they had a baby in their care.
"Sara, what are you doing?" Grissom asked as he followed her. She knew that Sophia was letting Nick know what was happening.
"Here, take these things to Nick and Sophia. Tell them I will see them tonight at work." Sara handed him a diaper bag and the portable crib. He was confused but did as he was told after watching her walk away.
"Thanks Grissom. One of us will bring him back and we'll call you before we get here." Nick told him with a smile.
"What is going on?" Grissom was getting frustrated.
"I offered to babysit. Now we need the baby and the car seat." Sophia told him and Grissom finally understood. He gave them some last minute instructions and watched them drive away. He found Sara waiting patiently on their bed.
He groaned at the sight before him. She was wearing the same night gown he gave her on their wedding night. He had picked it out with her in mind. It was black lace and very short. It came with a matching thong to show off her legs. She had lit some candles to set the mood. When she saw him, she slowly stood up next to the bed to begin undressing him. She had gotten him naked and after that is when he regained control of their activities. She was helpless under him and loved every minute of it. A phone call woke Sara from the first restful sleep she had gotten since the baby was born.
"Hello?"
"Are you still in bed?" Came the laughing voice over the line.
"Yes. What can I do for you?"
"Get dressed. We are on our way and will be there in twenty minutes."
"Ok. I will be here. Get your laughs in now. Your turn will be here soon enough." Sara told her and hung up. She didn't have time to wake up Gil. She took a speedy shower and had just put her clothes on when the doorbell rang. She ran to the door so Gil could sleep a little while longer.
"What did he do to you?" Nick asked at the sight of her.
"Wonderful things, Nick. Come in." They came in and since Jr. was asleep in the car seat, she left him there.
"So, was he any trouble?" Sara asked after putting things away.
"No. He was an angel. Thank you for letting us have him for the day." They stood up and Sara knew that they needed to get ready for work as well.
"No. Thank you! It was nice to be able to get some sleep."
"Sleep. Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what you have spent this whole time doing." Nick retorted.
"We did sleep; eventually." They just laughed at her and said their goodbyes.
At work that night, Nick announced his upcoming wedding.
"To who? I didn't even know you were seeing anyone." Warrick told his friend.
"Ah now you will have to come to the wedding to find out. Here are your invitations." He passed on out to almost everyone in the room. Grissom came in and kissed the floor before speaking.
"We'll be there Nick. Congratulations." Catherine and Greg agreed quickly as well. Warrick hung up the phone.
"Tina and I will be there. I'm happy for you bro." Nick nodded and returned to their supervisor for assignments.
The day of the wedding arrived. Sara had found Catherine.
"Hey, can you watch the baby for a bit?"
"Sure. You look nice."
"Thanks. He just ate so he should be fine." Sara disappeared for a bit. Catherine was beginning to wonder where the new mother was when the music signaled the start of the ceremony. People watched Sophia's mother be escorted down the aisle. The next thing she knew, Grissom and Sara were walking down the aisle to join Nick already waiting at the front.
"They apparently know the bride." Greg said to nobody but everyone nodded in agreement. They rose to music alerting everyone to the arrival of the bride. Shock was an understatement when Sophia was revealed.
"When did this happen?" Brass asked and everyone shrugged their shoulders. Catherine looked down and Jr. had fallen asleep. It dawned on her why there were so many people at the wedding. Both Nick and Sophia came from big families.
The reception was a busy affair but lots of fun. Sophia announced her pregnancy to the large crowd. The applause was deafening and woke the baby. Sara calmed him down before she stood to give her speech. She had combined the right amount of humor with sentiment. Grissom's turn to give his speech and he had surprised all in the room, except Sara, at just how sentimental he could be. The night was filled with dancing and photos. The CSI's and police officers in attendance all had to leave for work except the newlyweds. Everyone went home to change and met again in the break room.
Seven months later, Sara received a call from Sophia and Grissom's cell was ringing with a call from Nick. They hung up at the same time. Grissom gestured to Sara so she could speak first.
"Sophia is in labor and she wants me to be there."
"Go, but if we need you then you need to come in."
"Deal. I love you." She sank into his embrace.
"I love you too. Did you ever think about having any more children?"
"Not really. If you want more, I'm not averse to the idea."
"I think I do. I really love being a daddy. Maybe I can give you a girl this time." He had his hands on her hips.
"Well then, I guess we're trying again. I need to go. I will call you later." She kissed him quickly and grabbed her things to leave.
Six hours later, Grissom called Sara.
"What's the word?"
"Hello to you too. Five centimeters. Nick is driving me insane. Come and calm him down after shift." She heard Gil laugh.
"I will and I will relay the progress to the team. We all plan to be there in three hours."
"Alright. I will see you later. Love you."
"Love you too." They hung and Sara turned to Nick.
"Nick, go take a walk. You need to calm down before you pass out. Then what are you going to do when it gets really hard?"
"You mean it gets worse than this?" Sophia asked in pain.
"Yes. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Didn't you go to Lamaze classes?" They nodded.
"You know it will get worse. That is the only way this little one will come out. I am here and I will help you." She smiled reassuringly. Sophia grabbed her hand as another contraction began and Sara coached her through it.
"What is going on with you? You're an uncle; you should be used to this." She asked Nick. He was currently sitting down trying not to freak out.
"I was never this involved. I didn't know there was this much pain."
"Have you called your families?"
"No." Sara saw this as an opportunity.
"Nick, go downstairs and get deck of cards. Then go call your family and hers. They will want to be here for this." Nick nodded and did as he was told.
"What are the cards for?" Sophia grunted.
"So we can play. It might help you take your mind off of the pain. Let's go for a walk." Sophia nodded and let Sara help her out of bed. Sara made sure to leave a note for Nick and left the room.
Fifteen minutes later they returned to a frantic father to be. The doctor followed them in and Sophia lay on the bed. Sara stood behind the curtain until the doctor was done.
"The walking helped Mrs. Stokes, you are at six centimeters. Are you sure you don't want an epidural? The window is closing fast." Sophia was panting.
"I'm sure. Could you send Sara back in please?" Sara reappeared as soon as the question left her mouth. She handed Nick a paper bag.
"Sit down and breathe. You are going to be of no help to her unless you can calm down." Nick again did as he was told much to Sara's amusement. Sara held up the deck of cards.
"Do you want to play or go for another walk?"
"Deal them." She said and gripped the sides of her bed with a lot of force. Sara shuffled and waited for the pain to pass. She looked at the monitor.
"It's almost done, you're doing great. Just keep breathing." Nick looked up.
"Show me how to read that thing." Sara did and watched it while she dealt the cards.
"Ok, look. Another one is starting. See?" Nick nodded.
"Hold her hand and speak in calming words. Tell her to keep breathing and that she is doing great." Nick repeated the things Sara had said and saw that it was helping him too.
"Look, now it's ending." Nick turned to his wife.
"You did great. It's almost done." He kissed her temple. The game resumed and Nick watched the monitor.
"I'm going to go get something to eat. I will be back shortly." Sara said about an hour later.
