Chapter 7: Coming to Terms

Greg had just been stood staring at Doctor Ford for the past 5 minutes, as if the woman had said the world was coming to an end. The CSI couldn't believe the words that had just come out of her mouth…maybe they didn't, yeah, maybe Greg had just misheard her. Pregnant, Morgan couldn't be pregnant, not after Greg was told he couldn't have kids…unless Morgan had…no, Greg shook his head, he refused to believe that.

"No…that's impossible" Greg said shaking his head again. "I was told by another doctor six weeks ago that I wasn't able to have children…and that would imply the fact that if Morgan is pregnant that she cheated on me, and I refuse to believe that!"

"Alright Mr Sanders, calm down" Doctor Ford said, not wanting to have to admit the frantic man into the hospital for a panic attack. "Which doctor did you have your consultation with?"

"Doctor Green" Greg recalled.

"And what exactly did he tell you the problem was?"

"I had a very low….count" it was ridiculous really that Greg be an expert in genetics and he couldn't even say the word, but the problem made him feel very embarrassed compared to other men.

Doctor Ford frowned "And his exacts words were you can't have children"

"Yeah, full stop, God damn impossible" Greg replied.

"Well Mister Sanders, he shouldn't have told you that" Doctor Ford said. Greg just appeared to look confused. "Yes, a problem like yours makes it extremely hard to conceive naturally" she explained "But it's not impossible, I've known plenty of men with the same problem as you who have successfully managed to get their partners pregnant."

"Really?" Greg said, not sure whether he should be extremely relieved, or angry at the fact he was lead to believe something that wasn't true. "That's…that's great news" he breathed with a grin.

"Yes…this is very strange…" Doctor Ford frowned "I will have to speak to Doctor Green myself, maybe he made a misdiagnosis"

"Wow… I…I can't believe it" Greg said running a hand though his hair. "Does Morgan know?"

"Yes, I would think my colleague would have told her by now. She probably had the same reaction you did" the doctor said with a smile.

"Well, erm, why did she faint? Is the baby okay?" Greg asked worriedly.

"Yes, completely fine. Like I said, these are very normal symptoms at this stage. Morgan fainted because her body is just adjusting to the change in her hormones, things like that" Ford explained. "If it happens again just take her to lie down and make sure she has some water when she wakes up"

"Alright, okay, thank you" Greg said.

He was still finding this hard to come to terms with. He couldn't believe that just weeks ago, he'd been in complete despair, devastated he may never get to father his own child, but now, it seemed that someone had decided to cut Greg and Morgan a break, and they could finally start the family they had been wanting for a long time now.

"Can I go see Morgan?" he requested. Doctor Ford smiled and nodded, leading Greg to his wife's room.


Morgan did indeed have a similar reaction to Greg when she was told there was a baby inside her which was causing her to feel so crappy. The signs had all been there, but after what Greg told her, Morgan had been convinced that the fact she was pregnant couldn't have been the cause. But it was, and this was happening and…she'd never been so happy. Sure, the prospect of being a parent was scary, but she couldn't think of anyone she'd want to share that experience more with than Greg.

Morgan had been worried about the baby too, but the doctor had explicitly reassured her it was nothing to worry about, and that they would prescribe her some pills for the nausea. The blond was alone for the moment, and she smiled as she placed her hands on her stomach and thought about the new life which was growing inside her; their little miracle.

Morgan smiled when the door opened and Greg stepped inside, the smile on his face reaching from ear to ear. He ran over to his wife and pulled her into his arms.

"We're having a baby" Morgan said, saying it out loud made it seem more real. She could feel Greg shaking and could hear him sniffing a little as he began to cry "Oh, sweetie" Morgan said running his back comfortingly "Please don't cry, don't you want this?"

"Of course I do" Greg said, pulling away and wiping his eyes "I'm just so happy. I thought… I thought…"

"I know, honey" Morgan said, pulling him into another hug "But this is real now, this is happening. We're having a baby, just like we wanted, you proved that dumb ass doctor wrong! I'm having your baby, Greg" she said with a huge smile.

"I love you so much" Greg said, before leaning in and giving Morgan a passionate kiss on the lips.

"The doctors said I can go as soon as I get my anti-nausea medicine" Morgan said as they pulled away. "How on Earth are we going to tell everyone?!"

"I think we should wait until you're at least two months" Greg suggested "Just to be on the safe side and making sure there are no complications"

"Okay" Morgan agreed "It'll be hard though, I'm so excited!" she giggled.

"Me too" Greg smiled, giving her a loving kiss on the forehead.

Doctor Ford returned a few moments later "Here you are" she said handing the bottle of pills over to Morgan "Just take them if the morning sickness gets a bit too much. If you feel dizzy at any point just lie down for a few minutes and you'll be fine. Symptoms like this usually only last for around the first 12 weeks. Get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water. And then there's the usual like avoid smoking, alcohol etc."

"Alright, I think I got all of that" Morgan said.

"Now, would you like to make an appointment for your eight week scan? Then you can see your baby for the first time" the doctor said with a smile.

"Yes, we'd love to" Greg said, and they booked the appointment for three weeks' time.

"C'mon, let's get out of here" Morgan said enthusiastically as she was given the all clear.

"Maybe we should ask Russell to give you a few days sick leave?" Greg suggested as they walked down the hall.

"No" Morgan said "I need to keep working to earn up some maternity leave. I'll be fine baby; honestly, you don't need to worry about me"

"But, I will worry" Greg said "I worried about you before! But now you're carrying our baby…if anything happened…"

"Hey, don't talk like that" Morgan said firmly "Everything is going to be fine, we are not going to lose this baby"

"Yeah, yeah you're right" Greg said with a small smile "C'mon let's get you home, it's your day off tomorrow anyways so you can have a good long sleep"

"Great, because I'm exhausted" Morgan said as she held Greg's hand and rested her head on this shoulder "This baby better be worth me feeling like I've been hit by a train"

Greg smiled "It will be, honey, you'll see"


The following night and Greg went into work alone, leaving Morgan resting on the sofa. Ecklie had called the previous night to ask how Morgan was doing, feeling guilty he couldn't get to see her in hospital because he was in court. Morgan told her dad she was fine and it was just a stomach bug she'd been given some pills for.

Greg was having a very hard time keeping their secret. He'd always had a hard time keeping secrets, up until the point he made his friend's stop telling him them because he felt like he was going to explode. Everyone at the lab had been asking him how Morgan was after hearing what happened, and he also went with the stomach bug lie. Most people seemed to take this as the truth, except for Finn, who gave him a suspicious eye.

Greg and Nick were working on some evidence together at the light table, when the older CSI asked how Morgan was doing.

"She's doing well" Greg said with a smile as he continued with his evidence.

Nick looked at him with a lopsided smile "You seem happy for a guy who's just found out his wife is ill, is Morgan really that bad to live with?"

"No, of course not!" Greg retorted "I just… dunno, can't a guy be happy for no particular reason?"

I guess so…" Nick said, stopping what he was doing and resting his folded arms on the table as he leaned across it a little "Okay, spill it Sanders" he whispered.

"What, there's nothing to spill?" Greg said indifferently, but Nick wasn't having it.

"C'mon, G. You've been so sad and mopey these past few weeks, and now all of a sudden you're on cloud nine! What gives?"

Greg bit his lip "Okay, I'll tell you" he said leaning on the table in a similar position as Nick "No, wait! I can't tell you" he said pulling away "Okay; no I'm going to tell you…but you have to promise you won't tell anyone else, capisce?" he said leaning forward again.

"I promise, cross my heart" Nick said, motioning the statement with his hand.

A smile broke across Greg's face "Morgan's pregnant. We're having a baby"

Nick's eyes widened in shock for a moment before he smiled too "Wow, man, congratulations!" he said excitedly, going to give the younger man a quick hug "See, I knew it would work out for you two!"

"Yeah" Greg said with a smile "We're so happy. It's kind of surreal, since just weeks ago I was told it was never going to happen"

"Well, you clearly did something right" Nick said, and Greg gave him a slight shove backwards but they were laughing. "I'm so happy for you guys!"

"And that's great, but you can't tell anyone! We promised we wouldn't say anything until the eight week scan, not even to our parents. If Morgan finds out I told you she'll either be really mad or just ridicule me for being a blabber mouth"

"My lips are sealed" Nick promised. "I'm gunna be an Uncle again!"

Greg just smiled and rolled his eyes.


Greg arrived home later that night to find Morgan still laid down on the sofa, watching a movie.

"Hey baby, you get some sleep?" Greg asked as he went to kiss his wife.

"Yeah" Morgan said, although she sounded a bit groggy. "But I only managed to keep my dinner down for about half an hour before I got sick again, twice" she stuck out her bottom lip, wanting to play the sympathy card.

"Aww, I'm sorry baby" Greg said, not liking seeing his wife so miserable "But it's all for a good cause"

"I know" Morgan said, placing a hand on her stomach "I just didn't think they'd be causing this much trouble already" she quipped.

"Yeah, well just wait until we're chasing them all over the place" Greg said with a smile as he put his hand on Morgan's stomach too, and couldn't wait for the day when he'd be able to actually feel the baby moving.

"I know, but I'm looking forward to it" Morgan said with a smile, and they kissed again.

"Hey erm, listen…there's something I want to tell you…" Greg said biting his lips nervously as they pulled away.

Morgan looked at him with a raised eyebrow "You blabbed didn't you? I knew it, even though you were the one who suggested not telling I knew you'd crack!"

"I only told Nick!" Greg tried to defend himself "I'm sorry baby, I'm just so excited. I had to tell one person." He couldn't tell if Morgan was mad or not "C'mon everyone knows when you say, you can't tell anyone, your best friend doesn't count!"

"Good, because I already told Hodges" Morgan confessed and Greg looked at her surprised "What? You said best friends don't count…"

"Yeah, but Hodges has a bigger mouth than I do!" Greg pointed out.

Morgan laughed "Relax, I told him I'd slowly begin to release poisonous fumes into his lab if he told anyone"

Greg laughed "Okay then" he said, rubbing Morgan's stomach in a circular motion "I can't wait to meet our baby" he whispered.

Morgan smiled "Me too"
