Hope you all enjoy! I am writing another angst story at the moment but wanted to do this one first as it is a bit of fun. Also the last two stories I have written have been from Sara's point of view so I decided to mix things up and write from Grissom's.
The story is ... Grissom is forced to be a full-time dad when Sara is forced on full time bed rest after going into premature labor with their forth child. I though this would be fun as Grissom who has left most of the day to day stuff to Sara is now forced to take on that role.
Please read and review with suggestions of what the kids could get up to when Mom is away!!!
Disclaimers ... I own nothing CBS and all the rest of those guys do ... I also do not own Barbie or Action Man or Finding Nemo.
GSR all the way with a lot of BrassCat thrown in.
--------------------------------------------------
Grissom smiled as he saw his six-year-old son Edward or Teddy, as everyone called him, he was wearing his bugs are my friends tee-shirt.
Having three children was a challenge but at least one of his children took after him.
Hearing screaming coming from behind him Grissom turned around to see his three-year-old twin girls Sophie and Lucy along with best friend Emma chase their cute but incredibly stupid black lab-cross around the yard.
Amazed that two girls could look so similar he frowned to himself as he saw they were going still going through the 'twin stage' as he liked to call it.
Like their brother the twins had inherited their mother's hair color but had deep blue eyes their father.
Although the girls were identical Grissom and Sara made the conscious decision when they were born to dress them differently to help give them a chance to create their own unique personalities.
Everything was going fine until six months ago when one day at breakfast he walked downstairs and saw Sophie and Lucy dressed the same.
Although he and Sara had tried everything in their power to stop them from dressing the same the crying and screaming was too much to bear.
Seeing Emma meant that Jim and Catherine had finally arrived.
Walking over to greet his long time friends and co-workers he looked down at the Brass's latest creation - James their three-month-old-son.
Jim, smiling down at the girls as they continued to scream with laughter while running around the yard, turned to Grissom knowing his feelings.
"Gosh their cute, and matching outfits," he laughed as he saw Grissom's expression.
Replying sarcastically Grissom looked over at his girls, "yeah it looks like a pink monster threw up on them."
Laughing at his remark Jim patted Grissom on the back before adding, "Well at least it's only dressing the same in only pink, wait until their teenagers."
Nodding his head Grissom remembered the latest news about Ellie.
Both Catherine and Jim had tried to help his daughter but were at a loss after she became addicted to heroin.
Lindsey, however, was flourishing. After graduating from high school early she had just finished her first semester of college and much to everyone's surprise chose to live at home to stay close to her new siblings.
Scanning the back yard for Sara he saw her walk out the patio door bringing salads meaning it was time for him to light up the barbecue.
--
Walking into their bedroom and laying down on their bed Grissom closed his eyes and made his ears strain to hear any movements coming from the two other bed rooms.
Hearing only water going down the sink he started talking to Sara about his latest idea to make the twins start wearing another color any other color besides pink.
"You know we could bribe them with something ...",
Before being able to finish his sentence Sara with a slightly strained voice from the bathroom replied, "yeah like that ever works, remember Charlie your last bribe, I saw him chewing one of your shoes again this morning."
Silently cursing himself Grissom remembered that decision well ... stop dressing the same and we can get a dog.
It did not help that the dog they chose seemed to have fewer brain cells then some of the bugs he studied.
He had to admit that Charlie was cute and would allow the kids do anything to him but he seemed to have a thing for chewing his shoes.
Smiling to himself he heard Sara say something about a cheese burger before walking out in her robe clutching something that was all too familiar to the couple.
Looking each other in the eye Grissom asked quietly "I'm guessing it was you who ate the cheese burger,"?
Sara nodded her head "It's positive, I got Catherine to get me one."
Not quite registering what he was hearing "bu but how", was all he could reply.
Shaking her head Sara smiled as she got into bed and placed her hand on her husband's chest "well when a man and a woman ...".
Before she finished Grissom placed his hand over Sara's belly, kissed her forehead and said: "I meant when, with requests for extra water to scary monsters and having our bed taken over I don't think we have had time in weeks."
Breathing out Sara replied, "six weeks to be exact. It was our anniversary, remember?"
Thinking back Grissom remembered all too well ... a romantic evening in an expensive hotel with dinner and no children as Jim and Catherine were baby sitting.
Remembering Sara in her sexy black dress her body showing only a few traces of carrying and giving birth to three children Grissom was amazed that they had managed to get through their entree before calling for their cheque and reaching their room upstairs to have hot monkey before falling into 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Smiling to himself as he turned off the bedside light and getting comfortable beside his wife he whispered in her ear.
"Mmmm … dresses that sexy should be made illegal,"
Kissing the side of her neck Grissom stopped as he heard two small voices in unison, "Daddy we're thirsty," sitting up and turning on the light Grissom told Sara to stay put as he went to get his daughters some water.
------------------------------------------------------------
Although the thought of having another child took some getting used to Grissom admitted to himself that there was nothing he could do about it and instead marveled at the fact that at his age he seemed to be the most fertile person this side of Vegas.
Telling their children the big news was much less hassle with the girls ecstatic that they would have a baby in the house like Emma while Teddy could not decide whether he wanted a brother or sister before deciding a sister would be best considering she would not want to play with his toys.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four months later Teddy found out that although he had two sisters this did not stop them from kidnapping two of his Action Man dolls for a forced marriage to two Princess Barbie's.
Hearing the shouting from his study Grissom came into the twin's bedroom to see his children in a tug of war over what appeared to be two dolls in military uniforms.
Looking up Teddy saw his father and started talking first, "Dad tell them to give them back their mine."
Pleading back the twins answered "but their getting married today."
Not wanting World War Three to start up again Grissom took the dolls and told his children that marriage was a union that both parties needed to agree to.
Looking confused Teddy followed his father into his study where he accepted the toys back after being told to hide them better this time.
After a few more hours of work Grissom looked at his watch and saw it was nearly time for dinner.
Walking into the living room he smiled at the silence he was greeted to as Lucy, Sophie and Teddy watched what appeared to be the animated movie about an orange fish ... Nemo something.
Unable to hear or see anything in the kitchen Grissom did a quick survey of the area before calling out Sara's name.
With no reply Grissom started to feel sick as he walked quickly into their bedroom to see Sara clutching her baby bump.
Rushing to her side he could see something was not right. "The baby, it's coming," Sara managed through another contraction.
Picking up the phone on their bedroom with one hand he told Sara it would be alright.
Grissom managed to call 911 who kept him calm until the ambulance arrived.
Picking Sara up Grissom carried her to the waiting paramedic staff who placed her on a stretcher.
Turning around to see his children crying and holding on to each other he quickly told them to get into car while he followed the ambulance.
Teddy spoke first, "I want Mommy," the twins who were holding hands were also crying and asking for their mother.
Looking into the back seat while driving in the speed limit Grissom stayed calm praying nothing was wrong with Sara or the baby.
"Shhhh ... everything is going to be fine, Mommy is not feeling well and we can all see her in a minute when we get to the hospital."
Running into the ER reception carrying Sophie holding Lucy's hand while Teddy ran behind Grissom they managed to find out Sara had arrived and was told to sit down while staff worked on her.
Twenty minutes latter Jim and Catherine showed up, Lindsey was at home with Emma and James, Catherine walked over to the children to give out hugs while Jim walked over to Grissom who looked like a ghost.
Placing his hand on his shoulder Grissom looked over at his children before saying, "what am I going to tell them ... she's my life."
Jim who was about to answer was replaced by a doctor who was asking for a Mr Grissom.
Following the doctor into the other room he looked Grissom in the eye, "Mr Grissom your wife has gone into labor ... luckily we have managed to stop the process but she is going to have to stay in hospital on complete best rest for the rest of this pregnancy."
Feeling life coming back into him Grissom almost kissed the doctor before asking.
"Can I see her?"
Taken through to the next room Grissom could see Sara hooked up to numerous IV's but was relieved to see she was Ok.
"Thank god, I was so worried," he said rushing over to his wife and sitting down beside her.
Massaging his hands Sara responded, "Can't get rid of me that easily," while smiling.
Well enough to make jokes Grissom knew everything would be fine.
Walking out to share the news Jim and Catherine offered to take the children so Grissom could stay with Sara that night.
With all of the children given the chance kiss their mother and the twins allowed to kiss the baby bump Grissom accompanied his wife to the maternity ward her new home for the foreseeable future.
Now settled in room 1672 the couple were able to breathe while discussing what lay ahead for them in the up coming months.
"You're going to have to start looking for a new house and the twin's birthday is in two weeks," Sara said listing the many things that needed to be done.
Kissing Sara, Grissom looked down at his wife reassuringly, "trust me if I can run the Las Vegas crime lab I can look after three children and the worlds most stupid dog."
Fighting back the urge to laugh Sara kissed her husband again thinking that his bubble would be burst soon enough and he would eat his words.
