the usual life of the CSIs becomes very tiring with the new psycho in the city. Even your worst colleague is a precious partner when it comes to catching a killer. Plus personal problems and joy of few makes everything harder and some are back in tr...
"Hi honey..." "Hi. They're here?" "Yes. Be downstairs any minute now. Alex...promise me you will be good. It's your lovely sister and the people she cares about." "I know...how does she look like? How is she at all?" "Oh.. Bit big as a pregnant woman should be..." "No...not Courtney. I know how a pregnant woman look like... Dr. Woods". "Oh my God...Alexander Walsh are you nervous because of HER?" She laughed "she is really nice. Just as is Tim." "I guess I should know that. Ok. How about dinner?" "Ready". Alexander entered and saw his sister coming downstairs with an older woman and Tim with Jamie on his hands. His sister was really far with the pregnancy. "Alex...." "Courtney... " He held her. "I missed you so much- look at you! I won't lie, I knew it earlier. You look good with the bummy. Tim" he shook his hand. "Alex, meet dr Alexx Woods, my- so called-mom". He smiled. Alexx approached "Dr. Walsh I was dying to meet you". "And you too Dr Woods." "It would be better if we both stayed with Alexes" she laughed. Alex nodded "Tim, nice to meet you again. I've thought we'll never see each other again". "Yeah...me too. But here I am again." "I'm glad. Let's sit then." "Alex...before we start... I need to tell you something. I know you will probably be a bit mad, but we can manage it I hope, as we still love each other." "Yeah? It is getting warmer, Tim." "Yeah... Remember me asking her to marry me?" "Yeah.it was a great evening I must say." "Yeah...right... So she did. " "I remember she said yes." "No. She did. Married me". "What?!? When? " "Last week. It was a kinda urgent one. I promised her to repeat it as soon as the baby is born, for Courtney to have a proper wedding, with guests and all this glitter. " Alex looked shocked. "Well... As you said you have right to decide". He sat and started eating with the others. He looked amazed but not angry. "I hope I will be invited then." "You surely will." "I know you deserve your white dress, sis. I'm happy for you. When is your exact due date?" "In 18 weeks. End of it. But I guess she will come sooner." "She?? You're gonna have a daughter?" "Yeah. That's the right moment to tell all of you". "Tell us what?" "We...I .. picked it and Courtney agreed. We chose Ava Alexandra as we both believe middle name is to be given after special people. " "Well... Alexx said first. Aren't we honoured? " "Yes...We are. You chose a beautiful name for your girl. I like the middle one too I must admit. " They all lauged. The dinner was very good atmospered. They enjoyed it a lot. In the evening Courtney was very tired. "What's up, love?" He said sitting next to her. "Nothing... I'm just tired". "I bet you are. " He lay down. "How's my little girl?" "She's tired too. Her kicking is lighter than yesterday." "But she's allright?" He asked nervously "Yes...I've counted the kicks. Tim... I need to get some sleep... I'm sorry." "I'll wait until you fall asleep and then go and talk to Alexx. I promised to." "Sure go ahead". He lay down behind her keeping the belly in his hands. She liked that and he started to like it too. Ava was kicking, he felt it. Then Courtney fell asleep and so did the girl.He left and knocked to Alexx. "May I...?" "Yeah. Come in and sit down. Coffee? I got the whole pot". "No. Thanks." "They are really nice. He's a bit pompous but when you get to know him better he is quite sensible. She is really nice. How is Courtney?" "She's asleep. Was really tired. She was worried about the atmospere of this meeting." "I know. But it seems alright, right?" "Yeah. Court wanted me to drop to some shops before we come back home. Wanna join?" "Nah... Not really. Dr. Walsh invited me to see his clinic. " "Ooooo... Ok. Better be going. I'm tired too." "Good night." He slipped into the room and took a quick shower. Then he lay down and fell asleep immediately . In the morning he saw her walking in the room with a worried face. "Gee Tim... I have nothing to wear for NY streets. ...really.." "You have to pick something and we can be off shopping. I think you will find something pretty for this big belly of yours." She smiled and hit his back angrily "don't you dare laugh at me Timothy Speedle". They left and soon reached the Mothercare. He went to see the car seats for the infant and she dived into clothes unit. "Courtney? Court? Where are you?" Tim said quietly in the dressing room. "I'm here" she got out of one. Quite a sporty style fitted her well

"YOu look pretty" he said. "You should take this outfit." She smiled. "I'm so...big." "You're not". He kissed her head. "I'll go and pay." "We're taking this" he smiled to the woman. "Sure sir." She had a quick look at him. Then she had another. "Tim??? Tim Speedle????" "Y..eah... But..." "But you don't know who I am right?" "Sorry" he nodded. "I'm Gill. David's cousin. " He looked shocked. "Yeah... You are little Gillian... God!!! I haven't seen you for....more than 20 years...You've changed a lot." "Yeah. You haven't Tim, just got older". "Yeah...I remember a plump 14 years old girl now- look at you!!! How are his parents?Haven't seen them for a while. " "As always.... And how about you? Do you live in NY?" "No...just visiting. " "...And this too, ok Tim?" Courtney came rushing and then realized something's up. "Sure". He smiled. "Gill, this one too. " "Sure". She smiled. "Gill, this is my wife- Courtney. Courtney- it's Gillian. David's cousin." "Oh... It's nice to meet you" Courtney greeted her with a smile." I'm sorry... I'm a bit... chaotic." "That's normal at this unit" Gill laughed. "How far are you ?" "22 weeks. " "Well Tim, congratulations. I hope we'll see each other again soon." "We live in Miami so we won't fly back until the baby is born, and after a while neither. " "Do...do they know?" "No. And please don't tell them ok? We're not in touch anymore". "Sure. It was nice to meet you Courtney. You look lovely. And take care of him. He's a good guy". Tim kissed Gill's cheek and they left. "You were close, then? Not really...it was just this family- they were all so close with each other. I miss them actually sometimes." They left and reached the house in 20 mins
