Birthday Surprise

Chapter 7: The Final Twist

The party had settled down and was now sitting in the living room enjoying the delicious cake and each other's company. Sara was sitting on Grissom's lap and occasionally patted his knee affectionately. By now the couple had figured out the secret to 'The Drinking Game', which was they all took a shot every time PDA was shown or a joke was made, and they really didn't care by this point. Everyone was totally wasted and would be regretting their sneaky little game in the morning. But for the time being, they all enjoyed the drunken party.

Greg seemed fascinated by The Grissom's lampshades and claimed they were 'the prettiest he'd seen in all his life'. Apparently that was a compliment considering the fact that Greg's Scandinavian family was famous for their lampshades.

Sara laughed as Greg stuck his head on the inside of the lampshade for further inspection. "Greg! Come sit down." She laughed and Greg stumbled towards the sound of her voice, not bothering to take the lampshade off. "Greg, take the lampshade off."

"No…it's my safety zone…I'll let your voice guide me my love." He replied and everyone cracked up laughing. Sara turned around to look at Grissom who was laughing and shaking his head.

Sara laughed, "You're nuts Greg."

"And you're beautiful."

"And you're fired." Grissom joked and Greg gasped in horror of the betrayal.

"NO! I'm drunk!"

They all laughed once again. Greg finally landed on safe ground… that is…if Miranda's lap could be considered safe ground. Nick swatted Greg off his girlfriend and pointed to the lonely couch. Greg frowned like a little sad puppy and slumped his way over to the couch. He looked around at the couples surrounding him. Greg frowned further, "God, it's like freaking Noah's Ark around here." Everyone looked over and realized he was he only one without a date and they laughed at his expense. Greg pouted. "I'm going back under the lamp shade."

They all laughed again. Catherine flipped her hair off her should and got a quick view of the dining room table. "Uh, guys…"Everyone turned to look at her. "There's still a present on the table."

They all looked at the dinning room table and saw the watch sized box on the table. They all looked at each other. "It isn't ours." Doc and his wife held up their hands.

"I already gave our gift." David responded slipping his arms around his wife's waist.

"He opened ours." Jackie echoed and patted her husband's knee.

"He ate mine." Greg stated throwing his hands in the air.

"He's wearing our's." Nick and Miranda replied and raised their hands.

"We gave him our's." Warrick and Catherine replied.

"So…who's left?" Grissom asked and Sara smiled guiltily. "You?" Grissom asked incredulously. "But Honey, you already gave me a wonderful gift that christened Miranda's shirt and sent Warrick groping down there before Nick even did. What more of a great gift could I ask for?" Grissom joked as Miranda blushed, Nick buried his face and shook his head, and Warrick laughed and nodded his head vigorously, while everyone else took a shot because of the excellent joke.

Sara laughed and shook her head.

"Not to mention she got him a bunch of other cool bug stuff." Greg replied. They all stood and made their way towards the table. "How can she top that?"

They gathered in a circle with Grissom on one end and Sara on the other. "I think I found a way." Sara smirked mischievously.

"Watch, its gonna be a check for a million dollars." Greg whispered to Warrick who chuckled. Grissom picked up the watch sized box and gently unwrapped it. He stared at the black watch box as if it were going to open itself. He lifted the lid and dropped his jaw. He slowly lifted the pregnancy test out of the box…it was positive.

Grissom looked up at Sara, "Wh-…we…we're…" He couldn't form the words and Sara smiled. "We're pregnant?"

"3 months."

"We're gonna have a baby?"

"Yes."

"We're gonna have a baby!" He asked more excited.

Sara was smiling from ear to ear. "We're havin a baby!"

Grissom rushed to her and picked her up. He planted a kiss on her lips and she smiled and returned it.

"Way to go Grissom!" Greg shouted and they all laughed. And Sara smiled as Grissom set her back on the ground but didn't let go till Catherine pried him off her so they could all get their hugs in. Grissom hugged and looked over at his wife and his gaze fell to her stomach. He couldn't help but smile at the thought that the love of his life was going to bare his child.

It was the best birthday surprise of his life. His life was half over…but it was only just beginning.

THE END
