That's cute

Write more please!
 
decided to reserect this fic, because I feel like posting the second chapter, I'll post this one here instead of as a link.


“Formula, diapers, wipes, is that everything?” asked Greg. Nick smiled, putting a hand on Greg’s shoulder. Jason was in the shopping cart baby seat and Nick pushed the cart. They weren’t really sure how this was going to work, but Greg was insistent that they could make it work.
“Yeah, Greg. Lacy brought over everything else this morning. You’ll be fine. But how are you gonna take care of Jason? I mean, you do have to go back to work eventually.”
“I was thinking I’d call in on short term disability. I just don’t know what to say…”
“You could tell the truth and go on mat leave,” joked Nick. Greg shot death glares over Jason’s head to Nick, who just laughed. Jason looked up at Nick and Nick smiled down at the baby. They were a happy family. Greg snatched the formula off the shelf and put it in the cart. He looked at Jason.
“Maybe I will, you know…go on ‘mat leave’ or something like that. Taking care of a kid isn’t a crime, and I can do it.”
“Wait, you’d take a whole year off? To take care of a baby that isn’t yours?” asked nick. He was almost shocked, yet he’d know that Greg would do anything for Jason. Greg took a deep breath, and with confidence, he nodded.
“Yeah. I’ll call Grissom tonight and tell him. Or better yet! I’ll go in and tell him in person. Then Cath and Sara can see Jason!” He seemed genuinely happy, so Nick just nodded in agreement as they continued shopping.
***
That night Greg bundled Jason up in the warmest cloths he could find, and put him in the car seat that Lacy had given him. He drove down to the lab, unsure of what to say and just hoping that Grissom would understand. It was five in the morning and Jason wasn’t going to back to sleep so it was the best time to do this. When they arrived, Jason cried a little, but when Greg picked him up he seemed content.
“There, there. We’re gonna go see daddy and friends. Let’s go, Jason.” They walked into the building, it was mostly empty. Something that was common at five in the morning. He walked past the desk; he worked here so why shouldn’t he be there. He smiled at the receptionist, but she was busy with computer work. He headed to the lab, hoping that nobody would saw them, but no such luck. A figure appeared out of the trace lab; Hodges.
“What’s with the baby?” he asked, Greg looked at Jason and he smiled.
“He’s mine, Hodgins. Meet Jason Sanders.”
“You’re married?”
“No, someone left him on my doorstep, so I adopted him. I’m going down to social services today to talk to a social worker about it.”
“I see, and you’re gonna be a daddy?”
“Actually-” he thought about telling Hodges about the family arrangements, but decided against it. “Yeah, I am.” Hodgins looked at him, then Jason.
“Alright, good luck.” And he was gone.
“That’s it?” he thought, he had been certain that he would have to deal with Hodges’ evil wit and ridicule. He shook his head and kept walking. Next he ran into Archie and Bobby. They looked at Jason then at Greg.
“What’s up, Greg?” asked Archie.
“Yeah, and who’s baby is that?” asked Bobby.
“This is Jason, he’s mine. Someone left him on my door and I adopted him.” Both nodded and headed on their way. Once again, Greg was startled by how easy it was for people to accept the fact that he had a kid. He was sure the girls wouldn’t take to the idea as easy. Especially if they found out that he and Nick were going to be family together. He took a deep breath as he reached the staff room, where he was certain that others would be hanging out, comparing cases and waiting for the day to end. Everyone was there, scattered around the small room. Nick looked up first, maybe he’d already told them.
“Hey, Greggo! You brought Jason down?” he asked. So far so good.
“Yeah, is that a problem?” asked Greg. Everyone else looked up to see Greg with the small baby boy in his arms. Catherine’s jaw dropped to the counter and Sara’s eyes looked like they’d pop out of her head. He was right, the girls were freaking out. Grissom seemed confused and Warrick could hardly stop himself from laughing.
“No, I was just about to make the announcement, wasn’t I?” Nick asked the others, Warrick nodded, bursting from trying to hold the laughter in, apparently Nick had already told him. “I already told Warrick, in case you didn’t guess.”
“Whose baby is that?” asked Catherine, finding her voice.
“And why do you have it?” added Sara. Greg smiled.
“He was left on my doorstep, so I adopted him. His name is-”
“Jason Stokes Sanders,” said Nick, cutting him off. Okay, that was new. When did they agree on a middle name?
“Hold on, Stokes Sanders?” asked Warrick, apparently Nick hadn’t filled him all the way in.
“Yeah, he’s gonna be mine and Greg’s baby.” Nick was so casual about it as if outing the two of them to the lab was nothing. Greg was blushing the darkest shade of red he’d ever turned.
“Both of you?” asked Grissom. Nick nodded and Greg followed suit.
“How are you planning to work and take care of a child?” Sara asked. Greg turned to Grissom with pleading eyes and Grissom felt like a mind reader.
“You want time off? Under what cause?” he asked. Greg looked down and Nick came to his defence, standing beside the young tech he looked Grissom square in the face and said it, making Greg’s face go a darker red.
“He wants to go on either short term disability or Mat Leave.” It was too much; Warrick finally burst and started laughing. Apparently Nick had told him that much. Grissom was stunned, his jaw dropped and Catherine and Sara exchanged the look of utter confusion. Warrick wiped his eyes to dry the tears and Catherine and Sara shook their heads, but the shock wasn’t done yet. Grissom nodded,
“Alright. I’ll figure something out.”
“You’re serious?” they all asked. Grissom nodded and left. Greg’s smile spread from ear to ear and Nick gave a relieved sigh. Warrick shook his head and walked over to the couple. He put a hand on Nick’s shoulder.
“Good luck,” he said as he left. As he left, the maternal urge and the woman’s need to hold a baby kicked in for the two remaining CSIs and they rushed over, cooing and talking and asking to hold the baby. Greg let Catherine hold him and watched as the two women smiled at the small child. It was going to work out, he just knew it.

Ah! chapter 3, enjoy!

Okay, so being a dad wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Greg suddenly had a whole knew respect for his own parents, as did Nick. Nick, the baby of seven children, was having trouble with just one and continuously wondered, out loud of course, how his parents had ever dealt and why they’d insisted on such a large family. And even though they hated the responsibility of taking care of a child, they loved the small boy with all they’re hearts. It had been almost a month since Jason had been left on Greg’s door step, and since then, so much had changed. Nick had moved into Greg’s little town house so that they still had Lacy to help out when needed. Since then so much had happened. Jason had made two trips to the doctors, for shots and a check up. Greg’s doctor, Dr. Richards, had been surprised to see Greg and Nick together.
“Well, isn’t this a surprise,” he’d said. The two men had smiled as Dr. Richards took a look at Jason.
“Well?” asked Greg, already affected by the motherly instinct. Being the one to find the baby, he’d taken the responsibility and the bond so often associated with motherhood. Dr. Richards smiled and nodded.
“Jason is right on schedule. He’s moving a lot, trying to hold up his head, making eye contact with close objects and he’s even starting to smile.”
“That’s good to know,” said Nick. Dr. Richards looked at him and nodded.
“It’s very good. Some ‘encouraging activities’, things to motivate Jason, are talking and singing to him, and playing peek-a-boo and such.”
“Anything else?” asked Greg.
“Sure, get a mobile to put over his crib, one that makes music, and continue to be the best, loving parents you can be.”
“Thanks, Dr. Richards.” They left the clinic and headed home, Nick needed to get some sleep before going back to work that night. Over the first month, Jason grew more alert, developing what Nick liked to call ‘his CSI skills’.
“Look, he’ll be just like his daddy,” said Nick one day after work as he watched Jason turned his head slightly to look at Sara, who had come over to see Jason. Greg smiled, making dinner for everyone.
“What’d you mean?” she asked, Nick smiled, picking Jason up.
“He’s always looking around, checkin’ people out, listenin’ to music, and he always recognizes Greg. Isn’t that right?” he asked Jason, holding him up and adapting baby talk. Sara laughed, and Jason turned a little to try and look at her.
“He is adorable.”
“You wanna hold him?”
“Sure.” Nick passed Jason to Sara and she cuddled him up. Greg brought out Jason’s bottle and passed it to Sara.
“You think you could feed Jason while I make dinner?” he asked. Sara nodded and took the bottle. Somewhere from the kitchen, music was playing, different music from the stuff Greg used to listen to at the lab. It sounded more like what Nick liked to listen to. Jason fell asleep in Sara’s arms and Greg took him off to bed while they sat and ate dinner. Greg and Nick were talking about the baby shower that Greg was planning.
“I can’t wait, a baby shower and a Christening, and-”
“Telling our parents?” added Nick. Greg stopped, looking down at his plate.
“Yeah, we really should do that, shouldn’t we?”
“You haven’t told them yet?” asked Sara.
“No, Greg keeps putting it off, and putting it off,” said Nick.
“I just…my parent’s aren’t gonna be particularly happy.”
“About being grandparents?” asked Sara.
“About me being with Nick,” said Greg. Nick shook his head.
“Hey, my parents are the catholic ones.”
“I didn’t know you were Catholic?” said Sara.
“Well, I was raised Catholic, but I’m not really religious,” said Nick.
“Look, you’re gonna have to tell them someday, it might as well be sooner then later,” said Sara.
“Easier said then done, Sar, my parents aren’t exactly the most accepting people in the world,” said Nick.
“Same here,” said Greg. Sara could understand that. She was pretty sure her parents would never have accepted a guy like Grissom for her. Parents weren’t known for being accepting.
“Well, just don’t leave it too long. Kids need grandparents, and grandparents need grandkids. Now, I’m sure one of Nick’s older siblings have had children, but Greg, you’re an only child right?”
“Yeah.”
“I’m sure your mom wants to be a grandma before she dies.”
“You’re right, I’ll call her later.”
“Good. Nick?”
“Yeah, yeah, I’ll call her.”
“Good. I gotta get going, shift starts in a couple hours,” said Sara, standing up. She’d been at the guys’ house for almost three hours and she had to get ready for work. Nick nodded and showed her to the door. He had to get ready too. Greg yawned, he should go to bed. Greg and Nick had that kind of relationship. Greg slept while Nick worked, Nick slept while Greg was up. Greg took care of Jason while Nick was sleeping, and Nick took care of the baby while he was home. Greg had breakfast waiting when Nick got home and Nick ‘brought home the bacon’. Greg sent Nick shopping, and Nick did so with out complaining. They were happy, and everything was going to be alright. They just had to get through telling their parents.
‘Tomorrow,’ thought Greg as he crawled into bed, ‘I’ll call them tomorrow.’
