The CSI team walked into the private waiting room to see their supervisor pacing back and forth muttering.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK!"

"Grissom what's going on where's Cath?"

"I don't know they won't tell me anything!"

"What happened?"

"We were going to dinner and some asshole slammed into the goddamn fucking car." Jim rushes in and Gil looks up at him.

"How are they doing?"

"I don't know no one will tell me. I keep asking and the same answer I get every damn time is 'Sir you'll know when we know.' I just wanna know what the hell is going on." Jim looks around before spotting a doctor. He walks over to him and flashes his badge a couple times before talking to the guy. Soon he comes back over and Gil looks up at him expectantly.

"He said that they took her to the OR for a precaution and that there wasn't that much damage."

"What was damaged?"

"He said there was some bruising and cuts but she'd be alright from those in a few days. And she sprained her wrist. They took her to the OR because she was slammed against the seat belt and I'm sure the side of the door." Everyone took seats except for Gil who kept pacing. And over the next 7 hours he kept on pacing only taking 2 breaks to use the restroom and get coffee. When he got back from getting his 2nd cup of coffee Catherine's doctor was waiting for him.

"How are they?"

"Fine. We took Catherine in for a C-Section and delivered them a few minutes ago."

"Boy and a girl right?"

"Yeah, they're both perfectly healthy. Cath's sleeping now and their nurses are getting them taken care of in her room." Catherine's doctor pulls out a sheet and hands it to him.

"Weights, lengths, and her room number. She should be out for a bit longer until the anesthetic wears off."

"Thanks."

"Go see them." Gil walks to the room indicated on the paper tossing his coffee in the trash before going in. He walks into the room and the two nurses smile at him.

"How are they?"

"Fine we were just getting ready to take them to the nursery. But if you're going to stay…"

"Yeah I'm gonna stay." Gil walks over to the two units and gazes down at the two innocent faces of the children that were his son and daughter.

"Do they have names?"

"Yeah…Gregory Lucas Grissom. And Allegra Evangeline Grissom."

"We'll get it put down on their birth certificates." The nurses smile and leave. Gil lifts Allegra out of the unit and smiles tearfully at her. She had a head full of very dark, almost black, brown hair that had a loose curl to it and she also looked just like her father. Dark blue eyes, dimple in her chin, dark olive skin, chubby baby face…but then again she was a baby.

"Hey Allie…You guys weren't supposed to be here for another month. But I bet Mommy will be happy to see you. Yeah she will." Allegra yawns and falls asleep. Gil chuckles.

"I guess you've had a hard day too." Gil lays Allegra back in her unit and lifts Gregory up. While Allegra looked like her father Gregory was a spitting image of his mother. Flaming quirky red hair, pale blue eyes, pale skin, some of the longest lashes ever, and a cheery disposition.

"Gil…" Gil turns around and sees Catherine looking at him.

"Hey baby. What are you doing awake? The doctor said you shouldn't be up for another few hours."

"I couldn't feel them. Drugs made me forget a bit…I freaked kinda."

"You sound horrible." Catherine chuckles.

"Gee thanks. That's what I've always wanted to hear.

"How are they?"

"Fine. Allie just fell asleep." Catherine moves the back of her bed up into more of a sitting position and Gil sits on the edge of her bed still holding Greg. Catherine moves the blanket slightly from his face and grins.

"He looks like me."

"You should see her. She looks like me."

"Of course she's always been Daddy's little girl. Let me hold him."

"Your wrist okay?"

"Yeah can't feel a thing." Catherine takes Greg from him and Gil lifts out Allegra. Catherine looks up at her and smiles widely.

"She does look like you." After Catherine nurses the twins and they spend a bit talking there's a knock on the door. They both look up to see Jim and the guys with balloons and gifts. Catherine smiles and waves them in.

"Hey guys."

"How you feelin' Cat?"

"Fine."

"And Griss. Happy Birthday from all of us."

"Thanks guys…certainly the best one I've had."

"May I?" Catherine looks at Greg and sees he wants to hold Allegra.

"Yeah. Just make sure you support her head." Greg lifts Allegra up and cradles her.

"What are their names?"

"Allegra Evangeline and Gregory Lucas…"

"Awww guys you named him after me?" Catherine laughs.

"Sort of. We really liked the name Gregory and well…Greg we want you to be their godfather."

"Me?"

"Yeah. You're the youngest. You're settling down…we talked about it for a long time and we would be honored."

"So would I."

"Why didn't you guys tell us you were pregnant?"

"We were going to tell you after my amnio came back. But when my doctor said we were having twins…I got more scared that something would go wrong and I really didn't wanna tell anyone until they were here and we knew they were gonna be healthy." Catherine turns to Gil and pulls him down kissing him deeply.

"I'm sorry we missed the movie…do the twins make up for it?"

"More than make up for it. Best 50th birthday anyone could ever ask for…just don't leave me worrying for so long if this happens again."

"Oh no. You are not getting me pregnant with twins again. Let alone getting in an accident while I'm pregnant." Everyone laughs and Catherine lays her head on Gil's shoulder.

"Some one wanna tell me what's with all the presents?"

"We got Griss' birthday presents and gifts for the twins."

"Thanks guys." Gil opens the big box from the guys and finds a few classic literary works of art: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, The Complete Works of Edgar Allan Poe, and a leather bound book of hand written quotes with extra pages for any that he wanted to add.

"Thanks. These are great."

"And for the twins…we got her a pink and purple butterfly, a onsie that says 'Daddy's Little Princess', and a notebook that you can fill when we leave. As for him we got him a blue and green dragonfly, a onsie that says 'Mommy's Little Man, and another notebook for him."

"The teddy bear."

"For the new mommy." Warrick hands her the softest white teddy bear and she hugs it smiling.

"Thanks."

"We are going to get going. We'll come back later tomorrow to take pictures for the lab." Both of them smile and wave as the guys leave. Once gone Catherine picks up the notebooks and looks on the inside seeing the familiar scrawl of everyone. Each with their well wishes and what to put in the books. Catherine grabs the pens that came with the notebooks and starts writing. Soon the two are fast asleep with the notebooks on their chests. Catherine softly mumbles in her sleep.

"Happy birthday…baby….s."
