Something New
Chapter 1
The grave yard shift of the Las Vegas crime lab was sitting around in the break room after solving a high profile case.
"Hey Sara you want to come out with us for breakfast?"
"Thanks Nick, but I have somewhere I need to be, but I will see you guys too night at the dinner. I am so glad we get a couple of days off."
"You can say that again. Well we're heading out, we will see you tonight Sara."
"You bet. Bye Nick."
Sara's Apartment
Sara is rushing to get to dinner with the team. As she enters her home she heads straight to take a shower. After she is finished with her shower she went into her closest and was trying to figure out what to wear. She grabbed her tight jeans and was now looking for a top to wear. She found a black strappy long top that flowed down to her thighs. She went into her bathroom to do her hair. She got her hair into curly ringlets. She did her makeup natural. She grabbed her clutch purse and headed out the door.
The Restaurant
Sara parked her car in the parking lot and got out. She entered the restaurant.
"Hi, there are people waiting for me."
"Yes, just go through the dinning room they are right at the back to the right."
"Thanks so much."
"Guys I am so sorry I am late. I was really rushing."
"Sara, no problem."
Sara went around and gave hugs and kisses to everyone.
Nick stood up and pulled out Sara's chair.
"Thanks Nicky."
"Your welcome. You look lovely Sara."
"Thanks Nick."
"So what did I miss?"
"Oh nothing, you know, just talking about you." Greg said.
"That's very funny Greg."
The waiter came to their table.
"Miss what would you like to drink?"
"Sara we order some bottles of wine."
"Thanks Warrick, but I think I will just have an I-tea."
"You sure?"
"Yah."
"One I-tea for the lady."
"Thanks Warrick."
"Anything for you."
The waiter came back with the wine and Sara's I-tea.
"Let's make a toast." Catherine said.
"To solving the case."
"To solving the case", everyone else said.
After the toast Sara excused her self to go to the washroom. By the time she came back the food was already there. Half way through dinner Sara's cell started to ring.
"Sorry guys."
"Sidle"
"Hi, Miss Sidle, this is Betty from doctor's Connors office, you forgot to make another appointment for your ultrasound before you left."
"I am so sorry I was rushing, I had place to be and I was running late."
"That is just fine. When will be a good time for you?"
"Two weeks today will be fine with me."
"Ok, Miss Sidle we will see you in two weeks, have a good evening."
"Thanks, bye."
"Sorry about that guys."
"No problem Sara."
"So what is everyone doing with their time off?" Warrick asked.
"Sleeping" everyone said at the same time, but Cath also added spending time with Lindsay.
At this time Sara felt the pressure on her bladder again and excused herself from the table once again.
"Excuse me but I have to go to the bathroom."
When she came back she felt that she need to get some air because she was feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Guys if you would excuse me once again I am just going to get some fresh air."
"No problem Sara." The team said.
30 minutes had passed and Sara was still outside.
"Guys I am going to go cheek on Sara, it is getting colder and she has nothing to cover up with, I am going to see what is taking her so long."
"That a good idea Nick, she's been acting a little wired since she arrived." Cath said.
Outside
Nick saw Sara sitting on the steeps outside of the restaurant. He took of his jacket and put it around her shoulders. He sat down beside her and put his arm around her. She did not even look up to see who had joined her, that was how spaced out she was. Nick took his hand that was not around her shoulder and manipulated her head so it was turned to him.
"Sara, Sar, Sara!"
Sara then realized that she was not alone and that Nick was beside her.
"Hey Nick how long have you been here?"
"Not long just a few minutes."
"You've been out here awhile, thought you might start getting a bit cold out here."
"Sara, how far a long are you?"
"Whh…what?"
"Sara, I have five sisters who all have children, I know the signs."
"Three months."
"Nick still how did you know, you may have five sisters who all have children, but they all live in Texas and you live in Las Vegas."
"Sara, I did live in Texas at a point in my life. My sister who is just a year older then I am got pregnant when she was 22 and the father left her, so I was there the whole time. I was in the delivery room."
"Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"I thought they will look at me differently. Finding out that your boyfriend was using you to cheat on his girlfriend and then finding out I am pregnant with his child."
"Sara they would never look at you differently, they love you and they are your friends, but most importantly they are your family. He might be the sperm donor but he is not your child's father, your child's father is someone who will love you till the end of the earth and will love your baby like it is his own and will be there for every mile stone in your child's life."
Sara started to cry
"Hey what is with the tears, I will be here for you no mater what and I have a feeling the rest will be there for you as well."
"Nick, I am crying because I am happy, you made me feel like I can do this and that I really want you to be here with me through every thing, but I still not ready to tell the rest of the team."
"Ok, we will wait to tell the team.
Sara looked at Nick then she stared to talk
"Nick, do you really mean what you said before, that you would be there for me, through everything?"
"Yah, Sar I did."
"Nick, would you be the baby's father?"
"Sara you do not have to pick me…"
"Nick I know that, but I want to pick you, I really love you and I trust you and out of the rest of the guys you are the one I do not feel like you are my brother or a male relative."
"Sara then I would be honored to be your baby's father and I love you too." Nick placed a kiss on her forehead.
Nick and Sara just sat out there for a few more minutes before they both headed back into the restaurant.
