A Marriage of Convenience

Chapter Eighteen: The Finale

"I can't believe you're already eighteen weeks along!" Catherine exclaimed as Sara and Greg walked into the break room.

"I know, it hardly seems real," Sara nodded, rubbing a hand over her stomach which was beginning to show quite noticeably.

"Yeah, and before you know it, you'll have your own little one. They grow up fast, don't they?" Catherine smiled, referring to David and Ashley's little girl.

"Well, I can't say I know firsthand, but I know it's going to seem like it," Sara agreed, taking a seat. "Only another hour, and then we'll know the sex of the baby."

"I want a girl, just like her Mamma," Greg got down on his knees, lifted Sara's shirt, and pressed a kiss to her rounded stomach.

"Oh get a room," Nick moaned, but it was all in good teasing.

"We have one, thank you very much, but it's at our house, which isn't here."

"Oh don't be such a smart ass Greg," Catherine chided as Grissom walked into the room.

"All right you two, get out of here," he smiled. "And be ready to share with us tonight."

"As if that wasn't obvious?" Sara laughed, and then with a wave, allowed an excited Greg to pull her out of the room.

OooOooOooO At the Doctor's Office OooOooOooO

"Sara Sanders?" A nurse called from the doorway of the waiting room.

"Right here," Sara stood up, Greg right next to her. They followed the nurse into an exam room where she did the typical pre-exam procedures; weight, current medications, background, etc. About ten minutes later, the OB-GYN entered, an ultrasound machine preceding her.

"Hello again Mrs. Sanders, Mr. Sanders," Dr. Linda Ambrose greeted. "Ready to hear the heartbeat again?"

"Yeah, and find out the sex," Sara nodded. Her last appointment had been at the 12 week stage, over a month ago, and they'd been able to faintly hear the heartbeat of the baby, though it was very difficult to distinguish between the baby's heartbeat, and just general background noise in the body.

"All right then, let's boot this thing up and get it going," Dr. Ambrose began spreading the lubricating gel over Sara's stomach and after turning on the ultrasound, began to slowly move the transducer around to locate the baby. "All right, let's see…ah, there it is!"

"Look," Greg pointed out the blob that was the head, his eyes bright.

"Can we listen to the heart beat now?" Sara asked, excited to hear it again. It made it seem all the more real.

"Sure, let me just get the Doppler ready," she said, and listened for a moment.

"What is it?" Sara asked worriedly, seeing an odd look cross Dr. Ambrose's face.

The doctor didn't answer for a moment. She took up the transducer again and began moving it around again, keeping a close eye on the screen.

"All right, there's the head, and there's the shoulders," she pointed out. "And there's the head and there's the shoulders."

"You just said head and shoulders twice," Greg stared at her wide-eyed.

"That's because we're having twins!" Sara exclaimed in shock.

"That's why I stopped for a moment with the Doppler. I thought I heard a second heartbeat, and needed to confirm it," Dr. Ambrose smiled, sharing in their enthusiasm. "Now, do you want to find the sex? It might be hard with twins, but we should be able to get an idea."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Greg bounced up and down excitedly. "Double your pleasure, double your fun. Hey! Our kids can go act in that commercial since they're twins. Cool!"

"Greg," Sara chided. "The babies may not even be identical."

"All right, well, if you look there," Dr. Ambrose said, pointing to a spot on the screen. "That proves you have at least one boy. Now, let's see if he's got a brother or a sister."

"Ooh yay, a boy!" Greg clapped his hands, looking like a kid in the candy store. "But I want a girl too."

"Well it looks like you've got your wish," Dr. Ambrose shook her head at his antics as he whooped with joy before promptly kissing Sara within an inch of her life.

Dr. Ambrose gathered the copies of the twin's first picture she had printed off, and handed them to Greg in an envelope. After helping Sara clean up, she finished up the rest of the exam and sent them on their very merry way.

"Now we get to tell everyone," Greg grinned mischievously.

"And how, pray tell, should we do that?" Sara looked at him, knowing he had an idea.

"Like this…"

OooOooOooO

"SURPRISE!" The LVPD crime lab members shouted as Sara and Greg walked into the break room. They were surrounded by what seemed an entire baby store's worth of gifts, as well as their friends and colleagues from all the various departments in the lab.

"What is this?" Sara and Greg looked around, amazed.

"Your baby shower," Mia walked over to them and pushed them to the couch to sit down. "We've all gotten you gifts, and there're some things from day and swing swift. I think there's also a couple of group gifts from the police department."

"But before you even think of opening a single gift," Catherine smacked Greg's hand as he reached for a box. "Share! Girl or boy?"

"All right, here," Sara pulled out a pink balloon, and a blue balloon. "Catherine take the girl, Grissom, take the boy, and everyone else pick the side of the room that corresponds with your guess."

"We just want to see what everyone thinks, and then we'll let you know which side's right," Greg handed the blue over to Grissom who moved near the door to be joined by most of the men in the room. Catherine moved to the other side, and was joined by all the girls, plus Brass. Hodges and Doc Robbins went to stand by the coffee maker which was between the two groups, and only shrugged their shoulders when asked why they didn't pick a side.

"Okay, so who's right?" Warrick asked, and everyone yelled out their agreement.

"Well Cath, I hate to say it, but Grissom's right," Sara put on a pout, fighting to keep from laughing as the guys started cheering and whooping and hollering, exchanging high-fives.

"Hey Grissom!" Greg yelled out, getting their attention again.

"Yes Greg?"

"I hate to say it, but Catherine's right too," Greg announced, a goofy smile on his face.

"Huh?" Archie said, ever so eloquently.

"Ha! We were right!" Hodges stated triumphantly.

"How? You didn't pick a side?" Bobby looked confused.

"They're having a boy and a girl," Doc Robbins looked to Greg and Sara for confirmation.

"We're having twins, ultrasound confirms it," Sara pulled out the pictures, which were immediately passed around and exclaimed over.

"I thought so. You're weight gain would be rather extreme for only one child," Doc Robbins nodded, cheeks coloring slightly at the reference to her weight.

"How'd you know Hodges?" Catherine looked curious.

"Last month when Sara needed me to draw some new blood for the standard DNA update," he shrugged. "Her HGC levels were high. Not close to a single-baby level. My sister was pregnant a couple years back, I remember this stuff," he said as a way of explaining that factoid.

"Hmm. Cool," Nick shrugged.

"Can we open gifts now?" Greg asked, bringing a round of laughs.

"Of course, but on the condition that you start with mine," Catherine said, tossing him a gift.

OooOooOooO Three and a half months later, July 18th OooOooOooO

"You know, this whole confined to the lab thing really stinks," Sara moaned from where she was lying on the couch, going over cold case files.

"Well, just think of is this way, at least your doc didn't confine you to bed-rest," Catherine pointed out. "I spent the last two months of my pregnancy at home so there wouldn't be complications."

"Oh yeah, that would be worse," Sara shifted around, a wince on her face.

"Something wrong?"

"Just some back pains," Sara awkwardly pushed herself into a sitting position, one hand on her lower back, rubbing it. Suddenly a beeping filled the room.

"Oh man," Catherine looked down at her beeper. "Another DB at the scene, Grissom needs me to join them. You'll be okay?"

"Yeah, I think I'm going to just get some water, then come back here and take a nap," Sara grinned. "Say hi to Greg for me."

"Of course," Catherine nodded. Grissom, Greg, Warrick, and Nick were all out at a rave gone bad with three dead bodies, or rather four now. "I'll see you later. And make sure to take it easy!"

"Always!" Sara yelled back, laughing. After looking over another dead-end cold case file, she scooted to the edge of the couch and pulling a chair towards her, used it for leverage to pull herself up, also pushing herself up using the couch armrest. She began to waddle down the hall, but stopped in front of the lab as a sudden pain overtook her, accompanied by a damp rushing between her legs.

"Oh god," Sara whispered to herself, looking around. "HODGES, MIA!"

"What, what, what is it? What's wrong!" He rushed out to her.

"I'm in labor!" she yelled, grabbing on to him.

OooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooOooO

"And then what happened Daddy?" 5 year old Ereka Sanders asked from where she was lying in bed, tucked under a pink blanket with multi-colored flowers all over it. Much to Sara's dismay, Ereka was very much a girly-girl.

"Well, your Uncle Hodges took your Mom to the hospital while your Aunt Mia drove to the crime scene where your Uncle Grissom, Aunt Catherine, Uncle Nick, and I were working," Greg smiled. "And I got to the hospital just in time to see you and your brother arrive."

"Really Ereka, you've heard this story only a gazillion times," Benjamin stood at the doorway, a superior look on his face. "You could tell it yourself by now."

"I know, but it's so much more fun to hear Daddy tell it," she replied, sticking her pert nose in the air. The twins were identical in looks, except of course Ereka had long brown wavy hair while Ben's was short and usually spiked with gel, thanks to Greg's influence. Both children had light brown eyes, and Greg's fair skin.

"Really, well you know what I think is fun?" Greg asked his daughter while winking at his son.

"What?"

"Tickling you!" He yelled, and promptly began to attack her sides, Ben rushing over to help.

"Ooh, the boys are ganging up on the girls," Sara laughed from the doorway where she stood with her arms folded.

"Hel-help Mom-m-m-my!" Ereka managed to get out between her giggles and squeals.

"Okay, come on now," Sara walked over and grabbed Ben around the wait, picking him up and planting kisses all over his face.

"Ew, stop it Mom," he whined, but couldn't push her away since she had trapped his hands.

"Hey, you're only supposed to use that power for good and not evil," Greg said with a laugh, and scooped up Ereka in his arms, standing up. "I'll trade you."

"Sure," Sara grinned, and dumped Ben over Greg's shoulder while taking Ereka in her arms for a hug. "Now what do you say we get you back in bed, and finish the story?"

"Okay Mommy," she replied, kissing her cheek loudly before snuggling back under her covers.

"So where'd we leave off? Greg asked, sitting back down on her bed, Ben reclining against his chest, eyes heavy with sleep.

"You just got to the hospital in time to see us being born," Ben reminded.

"Oh yeah. Well, I got to hold you guys, and I just remember thinking you were the most beautiful babies I had ever seen," Greg smiled, running his hand over Ben's hair.

"And you two decided on our names," Ben prompted through a yawn.

"That's right. Benjamin after the scientist and inventor, and Ereka because the masculine form means ruler, and we knew you'd be our little princess," Greg chuckled softly.

"Yup, I'm a princess," Ereka mumbled, barely awake.

"A very sleepy princess," Sara bent down and pressed a kiss to her forehead before turning to Greg. "Why don't you go put him to bed?"

"Sure," Greg stood up, Ben in his arms. "C'mon little man. Bed for you."

"Good night Ereka," Sara kissed her again.

"Night Mommy."

"Night princess," Greg said from the doorway as Sara turned off the light and moved to his side.

"You didn't finish Daddy," her words were mumbled.

"All right, well, a few days later, your Mom and I brought you two home, and we all lived happily ever after," Greg finished with a smile.

"Hap-lee ever affer," she repeated, before completely drifting off to sleep.

"We really did, didn't we?" Sara asked as they collapsed onto the couch in the living room.

"Did what?" Greg asked, putting his arm around her, pulling her to him.

"Live happily ever after."

"Yup. And the cool thing is, we still are."
