Here is my sequel to Bigger than the both of us. It take place about a month after they got married. Enjoy and please let me know what you think.
Catherine smiles and says quietly to Nick, “I'm pregnant.”
A simple statement that would change Nick and Catherine's lives forever. Nick was momentarily speechless. Catherine was afraid that he was upset. After all, they had never really talked about starting a family. He had always loved Lindsey as his own, so she looked at him and asked nervously, “Are you okay?”
Nick looked at her with what could only be described as loving eyes. He simply nods and this confuses and worries Catherine. She manages to croak out, “I didn't plan for this to happen. I know that we never really talked about having more children, but...”
Nick silences her with a kiss and finally manages to tell her, “I don't know what to say Cath. I never thought I'd be blessed so much. First I marry you and Lindsey becomes more like a daughter to me. Then you tell me I'm going to be a daddy again.”
Nick reaches out a touches her stomach gently. Even though she isn't showing yet, Nick swears he can feel the baby there. He looks at her again and she sees the tears falling down his face. She hugs him tightly and whispers, “It's going to be a Christmas baby.”
Nick laughs and asks, “Are you happy about this Cath?”
She nods and tells him, “I was shocked at first, now I couldn't be happier.”
They kiss as the scene ends.
Later that night, Nick arrives for his shift. He opens his locker and smiles as he sees the picture of Catherine and Lindsey. He realizes how lucky he is to have them in his life. Greg and Warrick was into the locker room and Nick smiles and tells them, “Guess who's going to be a daddy?”
Warrick laughs and replies, “Grissom?”
Nick looks shocked for a second and finally tells them, “No man. Me! Catherine gave me the news this morning.”
Greg and Warrick shake his hands and they both congratulate him. The rest of the shift goes on like normal. Finally it's time for Nick to go home. He and Catherine have the same days off, but since they are married now, they work different shifts. Today is their day off, so Nick has plans to take Catherine out for dinner. Lindsey is with Catherine's mom so they have the house all to themselves.
He get home and the house is quiet. He walks into the living room and sees Catherine laying on the couch with a pillow on her stomach and her eyes closed. He leans on the floor next to her and whispers softly to her, “Cath? Are you okay?”
She simply shakes her head and whispers weakly, “No. I've been sick all day.”
Nick rubs her forehead gently and asks, “Do you want to go out to eat tonight?”
Catherine groans and shakes her head, “I can't eat anything. My stomach is too upset. I'm sorry.”
Nick smiles as he stands up and picks Catherine up and carries her to the bedroom. He puts her in bed and covers her up and moves silently around the room. He walks out into the kitchen and gets a glass of ice water and a box of saltine crackers. He puts the water and the crackers on the bedside table beside Catherine. He smiles as he climbs into bed and tells Catherine, “If you need anything I'm here for you.”
Catherine merely moans in reply. She is too weak to respond and falls asleep next to Nick.
She wakes up during the middle of the night. She has an incredible pain in her stomach. She saw Nick's arm draped around her waist. She took a deep breath and finally some of the pain subsided. She moved Nick's arm and walked to the bathroom. She gasped when she saw the incredible amount of blood. She screamed and Nick came running in an instant. He took one look at her and knew they had to get to the hospital. He bundled her up and carried her to the car.
Nick prayed the whole way to the hospital. They held hands all the way to the hospital. Once they arrived, Nick rushed her into the emergency room. The nurse saw the panic on his face and asked, “What's wrong sir?”
“My wife. She's pregnant. She's bleeding and...”
That was all the nurse needed to hear. She called for an intern and they rushed Catherine behind the emergency room doors. Nick stood there and watched the doors swing back and forth and finally all movement stopped. Nick remained rooted to that spot for the longest time. Worried about his wife and unborn child, he collapsed on the floor and let the tears fall for the longest time....
