Chapter 21.

4 MONTHS LATER.

"I want mommy," Lindsey whimpered like a little girl, she was at the hospital in labour.

"She'll be here soon," Kyle said as he was rubbing her back with both hands as Hobie were holding her hands so she could squeeze his whenever needed.

"Wa…wa…want her now," Lindsey's voice shivered as she got another strong contraction.

"It's ok, we're right here," said Hobie calmly and gave her a kiss.

"Hu…hurts, really do," Lindsey whimpered wishing it to stop and fast.

"I know sweetheart I know, but it will be over in hopefully not too long and then we'll be parents," said Kyle and smiled at her.

"Yeah and you're doing really good sweetie," said Hobie and kissed her again.

"Keep rubbing my back like that, it helps," said Lindsey taking a deep breath.

Kyle bent down and kissed her shoulder before continuing just as Catherine came storming in the door and Catherine said: "Butterfly, how are you doing?"

"Huuuuurts," she let out.

"I know, but mommy is here and you'll be OK," said Catherine, not trying to taking the places of Kyle and Hobie, but just being present.

"Gooood" Lindsey let out.

"Eyes on me butterfly" said Catherine in a calm tone, and Lindsey's Sapphire met the same Sapphire's of her mother which seemed to calm her as the doctor came in to check on her and told her she was ready to start pushing.

Lindsey whimpered, but Catherine said: "Eyes on me butterfly, eyes on me."

Through the whole delivery the two boys worked on their girl while she kept her eyes on her mother and kept on pushing until she had given birth to a perfectly healthy baby boy.

The funny thing was that he looked so much like all his three parents that even the doctor wondered how that was possible.

Catherine gave her a proud kiss on the forehead before she left the three parents alone with their newborn son.

When Catherine came home she found Grissom and said: "It was a boy."

"And Mitch and Horatio do they know yet?" he asked her.

"Apparently she only asked them to call me, but I called them and they are there now" she said as she sat down next to him on the couch.

"So which of them did he look like?" asked Grissom curiously.

"Amazingly enough he looked like all three" she said with a sigh.

"So what were they going to call him?" he asked curiously.

"Jerediah Zephyr, don't ask me why," she said and shook her head.

"I think it's really cool," he said.

She shook her head again and let out a gasp as their little one was moving a bit.

"Shouldn't be long now," he said and smiled at her.

"No, would you mind an awful lot that we went to bed as I'm really tired even if it's not that late" she said with a yawn.

"No, not at all" he said and gave her a soft kiss before he followed her to the bedroom.

"Wasn't he just the cutest," said Calleigh excitedly as she and Horatio had just come back home from seeing the newborn parents.

"He was, but odd name don't you think?" said Horatio and shook his head a little by the thought of it.

"Maybe just a little, but they are an odd couple," she said.

"Yes very, wonder how that would work out if they every wish to get married" he said.

"Time will show, I should think they would have enough with being parents for now" she said with a giggle.

"Very true, wonder where they are going to raise him," he said.

"I would think mostly at Catherine's house," said Calleigh.

"Hmmm" he said thoughtfully.

"You still want one, don't you" she said and smiled at him.

"I do, yes" he admitted.

"I'll think about it, but at the moment we have to celebrate that you have become a grandfather" she said and pulled him towards the bedroom with a sly smile. He didn't mind though as she knew exactly what she had in mind.

"So what did they get?" Mitch heard Stephanie ask as soon as he came inside.

"A boy with the name Jerediah Zephyr" he said.

"Unusual name, so what did he look like?" she asked.

"Like all three, how that is even possible I don't know" said Mitch.

"That is odd, so what about you then, have you ever wanted more?" she asked.

"Dunno, if I find the right one maybe" he admitted and smiled at her.

She nodded as she smiled back, the two of them had become rather close the last couple of months, but neither took the next step for some reason. Maybe they were afraid that they would ruin their friendship if they did, none of them knew for certain.

But that night they both went to far as they choose to go with their desires over their minds, there was no regrets or following up the time after as they found it best to stay friends and colleagues, but nothing more.

It was about a couple of weeks later and Catherine had just given birth to a little girl by the name Catharina Annastasia and was now sleeping with the little girl close to her chest.

Grissom was watching his two girls sleeping peacefully. The birth had been very difficult, but Catherine had still made it through as had their little girl.

He loved them both deeply and he was proud of her lover for giving him a perfect baby girl, he could have watched them forever had it not been for Lindsey interrupting the piece by saying: "She's just the cutest, almost like an angel."

"And where are you little angel?" he asked her as little Zephyr was not with her as he usually was.

"He's with his fathers as I thought that a screaming baby was not a good idea at the moment" she said honest looking at her sleeping mother.

"I see, that's very thoughtful of you," said Grissom and smiled at her.

"I try, lucky for me I got two devoted fathers to help me," she said with a giggle as the two had been there for her every day since they son was born and the threesome was as inseparable as before.

"Yes that is lucky," said Grissom that by now was getting used to have them around.

At that moment little Catharina woke up and started to cry and woke up Catherine that said: "Hey there little dragonfly, you hungry again."

She led the baby to her breast as Lindsey asked: "Dragonfly?"

"Well you are my butterfly, so I thought she would be a little dragonfly," said Catherine.

Lindsey shook her head as she said: "Well no matter what you call her, she's still adorable."

"Why thank you for that and you sure are hungry," said Catherine and smiled at Grissom.

He smiled back at her, never before had the two of them been so happy.

At the same time at another residence Calleigh and Horatio had just made love, and now they were just relaxing. She was for some odd reason more in the mood than before and he wasn't the one to argue.

Although Kyle, Lindsey and Hobie sometimes did when they lived there, but they didn't care all too much as it was after all their place.

Calleigh softly kissed her handsome before saying: "Are you happy with this?"

"With this you mean…?" he asked.

"Me, you, little H" she said looking at him.

"I am, very happy yes," he said and smiled at her.

"And with us not having more children at he moment?" she said.

"Yes, I know you are not ready and I'm ok with that" he said and caressed her back gently.

"I'm glad you feel that way, but…" she said with a sigh.

"But what?" he asked a tad concerned.

She took a deep breath and said: "Horatio I got something to tell you."
