Note to CSI: Miami producers, if his full-time departure is about contracts, get your heads out of your ass and give Adam appropriate contract so we viewers get "Eric" back full time! My opinion (just to share with other viewers,) I don't think Adam has the what I call the "David Caruso Syndrome" and wants to be a *Movie Star,* or I hope he doesn't. Granted, he has been doing movies lately but it seems to be not only "small" (not-so popular) movies and he seems to have minor roles and has still been in CSI Miami full-time during the filming (unlike a certain co-star who thought he were too good to do both.) The show will suffer without the character of Eric Delko.

Anyway, no matter happens, Eric Delko will remain a full-time employee at the Miami-Dade crime lab in author's fanfiction!

Bringing Home Baby

Much to his parents' delight, Austin was able to come home just before noon the next day. The new big sisters didn't have to go to the hospital. Cheyenna liked her new brother but was more happy that she could sit in her mom's lap now that Aimee's pregnant belly was no longer in the way. Aimee understood her little girl's feelings. Cheyenna was a mommy's girl. Even though she were fast becoming a toddler she wouldn't be two years old for eight weeks. Her birthday was two weeks after her sister's fourth. Rachel on the hand, was totally in love. Despite the new baby, there were two separate birthday parties in the works. A handful of people had told the parents since the girls were still so young, the dates were so close together and there was so much work involved in planning two parties, with the new baby and all, why didn't they just have one party? One mother from Rachel's preschool said "I'm sure they wouldn't mind. They probably wouldn't even know the difference."

Horatio was offended and promptly disagreed. The woman's comment made it seem like children were stupid; they weren't. Rachel and Cheyenna not only two individuals but a party for a two-year-old was much different then a party for a four-year-old and vice vera. Plus Cheyenna wanted an Abby Cadabby party and Rachel wanted a Dora the Explorer party. Both wanted character-theme treasure hunts and pinatas.

Aimee was one of the few women that once she gave birth though some weight might have yet to drop off she could immediately fit back into her pre-pregnancy clothes. Aimee figured that she was just lucky. Without a baby growing inside her, her body was used to being a certain weight. It was one less thing she had to worry about postpartum now that she had three children.

Austin had now been home for two days and his mother was chatting with Lindsay Monroe on the phone. Horatio had sent pictures of Austin to them a few hours after the birth.

"What's life like with a little boy in the mix now?" Lindsay asked.

"It's great," Aimee replied. "And for all we were told 'bout the differences, the only difference is being very careful when changing him," she chuckled.

"How are the girls taking to Austin?"

"Cheyenna is leaning towards liking him but she's not sure yet. Rachel's in love. She picks out his clothes for me every morning. It's sweet."

"And Horatio is even more beside himself," Lindsay said, knowing how much Horatio already loved his girls. "I can tell by the pictures."

Aimee smiled. "Yes. He is."

"Is that him?" Lindsay asked hearing a gurgle.

Austin was in his mother's arms while she was talking.

"Yeah. He's saying hi to you."

Horatio made sure he still gave time to the girls. In the evenings, while Aimee was feeding Austin Horatio would bathe the girls and read them their bedtime story. Near the end of story time Austin would be asleep and Aimee would tuck the girls in too. The newborn would sleep for almost three hours after his 7:30pm feeding.
