A/N: Here is the next and FINAL chapter to this story. I can't believe that this story is already finished. I wrote this story so long ago that I guess I forgot how long I made it. Like always, read and enjoy:)
Chapter 10- Family Introductions
When Danny, Flack, and Hawkes arrived back at the lab the three of them split up to find everyone on the team. Hawkes and Danny headed to Sid's office knowing that they'd most likely find Lindsay and the girls there with Sid while Flack wondered around the lab in search of Adam. As they walked through the door to Sid's office both Danny and Hawkes smiled to see that they were right about where to find the girls. Sid and Lindsay were seated behind Sid's desk, each with a little girl on their lap staring at the computer screen.
Everyone looked up at Danny and Hawkes as they entered the room. With giant smiles spread across their faces both Lucy and Emma jumped down from where they were sitting and ran over to Danny and Hawkes. Danny smiled as he squatted down, catching Lucy in his arms as she ran towards him. Giving Lucy a big hug Danny said,
"Hey sweetie, I see that Mommy brought you in to work today so that you could visit everyone and play with Emma."
Lucy nodded her head as she started chatting away to Danny about everything that she had been doing. As he listened Danny watched as Emma ran to Hawkes, latching onto his legs as she said,
"Hi Uncle Sheldie, I missed you a lot."
Hawkes smiled as he sweeped Emma up into his arms, giving her a great big hug as he replied,
"Hey there bouncy little angel I missed you too, but you just saw me yesterday when Lindsay brought you around to visit everyone. Are you having fun with Uncle Sid?"
Emma smiled as she nodded her head causing her curls to bounce around as she glanced at Sid and replied,
"Yeah, he's letting me and Lucy play games on his puter. He even let me draw earlier, I made a picture to give to Mommy and Daddy."
Looking at Emma in mock astonishment Hawkes said,
"Wow really, well speaking of your Mommy and Daddy, would you like to go and visit them in the hospital with all of us?"
Emma's face lit up with surprise and joy as she said,
"You found Mommy?" Hawkes smiled at the duel expressions on Emma's face as he nodded his head, "Yeah, let's go! Lucy coming too?"
At the mention of Lucy Lindsay said,
"Yep she's coming too. Now let's head upstairs and find Uncle Don and Uncle Adam so we can clock out and leave."
Seeing everyone agree to her idea they all headed back up to the lab. When they reached the lab they quickly located Don and Adam sitting in the break room area. Seeing Adam Emma and Lucy both wiggled free of Danny's and Hawkes' arms and bounded over to him. Adam smiled as both girls grabbed onto his legs like little monkeys. Looking over to Flack Danny said,
"I take it since you both are sitting here that you have already clocked out?" Danny saw Flack give a simple nod of his head, "Well in that case if you two would watch these two little jumping beans then Doc, Lindsay, and myself will go clock out. Sid clocked out just before we headed up here."
With Adam's and Flack's nodded agreement Lindsay, Danny, and Hawkes quickly made their way to the time clock. A few minutes later when they returned Danny rubbed his hands together eagerly as he looked at the two little girls, and asked,
"Alright, are we ready to go?"
With the girls' squeals of delight as a response everyone headed towards the elevator…
-CSI:NY-
In the hospital room Mac sat next to Stella on the bed with his arm draped over her shoulders as he watched her hold Devin in her arms. Feelings of relief and overwhelming joy still flooded through him, he was happy to have Stella back safe, and by his side, and he was overjoyed that his son was finally here and that he hadn't missed the birth. Looking down at the precious baby boy cradled in Stella's arms Mac couldn't help but smile. Turning to look at Stella Mac kissed her on the head for what seemed like the hundredth time since they had found her, but Stella didn't care how many times he kissed her head, she always loved it when he did it.
A loving smile spread across Stella's face as she turned to look back at Mac, and said,
"I love you Mac, and I'm so glad that you all found me when you did, I don't think I could have delivered him on my own; especially not when Gordane could have walked in during the middle of it."
Mac pulled Stella closer to his side as he replied,
"Stel, you know that I would never want you to have to deliver our child by yourself. I would do everything, and anything I could to find you and be there with you. And with the team's help that's what I was able to do."
Stella smiled and pecked him on the lips as she leaned into his embrace,
"I know, now would you like to hold your son for a little while before the team gets here?"
Seeing the smile that spread across Mac's face Stella already knew the answer to her question as she gently placed Devin into Mac's awaiting arms. Time appeared to pass by slowly for Stella as she watched Mac gently rock Devin just as he used to do with Emma. Time then seemed to go back to normal when they heard someone knock on the door. Stella stared in the direction of the door as she replied,
"Come on in!"
A smile immediately spread across her face when she heard the sound of little feet running into the room. Stella's smile grew even bigger when she saw Emma enter the room, running to her side as she yelled,
"MOMMY!'
Tears streamed down Stella's face as she caught Emma in her arms, pulling her up onto her lap in a tight embrace as she said,
"Hey baby girl I'm so glad that you're ok."
From within her tight embrace Stella heard Emma reply in a muffled voice,
"I missed you Mommy. I so scared when they take you."
Feeling tears begin to soak her gown Stella gently rocked Emma in her arms as she made soft shushing noises. Looking around the room Stella smiled as the rest of the team gathered around the bed. Gently pulling Emma away from her chest Stella wiped away the tears from her face as she looked between the team and her, and said,
"Emma, Lucy, and the few of you who haven't been introduced, there is someone we'd like you to meet."
At this Mac repositioned himself on the bed so that Emma could see what he was holding in his arms. Emma's face lit up with excitement when she saw baby Devin in Mac's arms. Stella smiled at Emma's reaction and the rest of the teams' smiling faces as she said,
"Emma, Lucy, Lindsay, Adam, and Sid, this is Devin. He's your little brother Emma."
Looking at Devin in astonishment Emma slowly crawled over Stella's lap till she was right next to Mac. Lifting her hand Emma gently grasped one of Devin's tiny hands as she said,
"My little brodder."
Mac couldn't help but smile, and his smile grew even bigger when Emma leaned over and kissed Devin on the head. It was a precious moment, and he could hear Lindsay in the background awing at the interaction. After a few minutes of silence Lindsay said,
"You know what Mac I think Devin looks just like you."
Mac looked at Lindsay with another smile and nodded his head,
"Yeah he does but he has his mother's beautiful green-blue eyes."
From his position standing between Flack and Adam Sid said,
"Just out of curiosity, what did you two choose for his middle name?"
Mac and Stella exchanged a smile before Mac replied,
"We chose Reed for his middle name. So his full name is Devin Reed Taylor."
As everyone awed at how cute the name sounded Mac looked to Hawkes, knowing that he hadn't divulged any information, Mac nodded his head in thanks. He was glad that they could surprise everyone with that, even though Flack and Danny knew that they had had a boy, they only knew the first name, not the middle name, so they were still surprised. With the mention of Devin's middle name Adam looked around at everyone in the room. It was then that he noticed that someone was missing who had been amongst them when Emma was introduced to the team. Mac knew what Adam was going to ask but waited until Adam asked,
"Hey Mac where's Reed? He came and visited with us last time when Emma was born, so where is he now?"
Mac gave a small smile as he replied,
"Reed unfortunately is in Philadelphia on assignment for his blog, and wasn't able to come. I called him shortly after we arrived at the hospital and told him the news though. He was really happy to hear that he had a "little brother", and he offered us his congratulations. He did seem a little disappointed that he wasn't able to come but his promised to come and visit as soon as he got back to New York."
Emma immediately starting clapping for joy when she heard this; she loved Reed and loved it when he came to visit. Seeing the excitement shining on Emma's face Mac and Stella smiled. Looking around at everyone Stella grinned as she asked,
"So, who wants to hold Devin first?"
Stella's grin grew even bigger as she saw the eager expressions light up on all their faces, it was priceless. Glancing around at everyone she finally made a decision. After a quick glance to Mac Stella turned her attention back to the eagerly but patiently waiting group of friends; Stella nodded to Sid as she said,
"Hey Sid, why don' you hold Devin first."
Sid's face lit up even brighter with happiness and excitement as he made his way over to Mac's side of the bed. Even though he had two daughters of his own Sid still felt a little nervous as Mac placed Devin in his arms. Everyone continued to smile as they watched as the expertise that was once forgotten returned as Sid cradled Devin in his arms. Seeing that his arms were now free Lucy immediately climbed up into Mac's lap as Emma returned to her place on Stella's lap. Mac and Stella leaned into each other's embrace as best as they could with two little girls on their laps. They continued to smile as they watched their son being passed to each member of their close knit family. This was a wonderful ending to the chaotic and insane filled two days that they had had.
The End
