This story is dedicated to my mother Katherine, who helped me realize I can write.
A/N: I don't know the actual number one lab so I'm using LAPD
A/N2: parts of story are in P.O.V, mostly Sara's P.O.V in L.A. I'm not good at P.O.V's so if part of this sucks then I'm sorry. Sara is also possible OOC

"You're really leaving?" Greg Sanders asked dejectedly, watching as his friend placed miniature trinkets in a small suitcase.
"Greg, I can't stay." Sara Sidle sighed, wishing she didn't have to do this. Putting the last earrings in her jewelry box, nestling the box in the open suitcase and zipped it shut. "There's nothing here for me."
Seeing his mouth open and shut a few times the room drowned into an awkward silence.
Not liking the tense quiet, she spoke. "Look I leave in a few days."
She had been asked by the top lab in the country; LAPD, to become part of there team. She had accepted the offer knowing she had nothing in Vegas. The only actual reason she was in Las Vegas was because of her boss Gil Grissom, but she reasoned with herself that there couldn't be anything between them. She thought with that reason in mind it would be easy to leave Vegas. What she hadn't expected was to find a spiky-haired ex-lab rat on her doorstep pleading with her to stay. "And… and you can call, write." She paused, "I won't be gone forever." She tried, hoping that would satisfy what he wanted.
Going over her words in his head, he realized that maybe she was right, "Well…will you at least make a night of it with the boys?" he asked lightly, standing from his perch on her bed.
Sara smiled, "of course…tomorrow?" Seeing his nod she walked to him. Wrapping her arms around his neck she let out contented sigh. "Now go before you get yourself fired." Giving his behind a playful smack she pointed toward the door.
Brandishing his infamous mock salute he gave one last goodbye before making an exit.
Shaking her head slightly, 'I'm gonna miss that goofball' she thought, before placing some of her pre-folded clothes in a suitcase.

Los Angeles; Sara P.O.V
"Mommy." The sound of my shrieking three year old woke me from another fitful night. "Mommy." I hear her sweet voice closer as her tiny hands are at my waist. "Mommy, wake up." Feeling the push of her hands, I opened my eyes, not surprised to see my daughter's angelic face hovering above mine.
"Katie, babe, what are you doing up?" I asked her seeing the knowing smile grace her face, before I scooped her in my arms.
"I wan'ed see you." My heart always melts, hearing those words. Laying back down, I pulled the blanket over both of us, and tucked a few lingering strands of her mocha hair behind her ear.
"Liar." I said mirth filling my voice as my hands went to her little belly, my fingers working their tickling magic. A squeak and boughts of laughter came from her as I continued my torment. "You just wanted to get me up. Isn't that right?"
"No….mommy….stop…mommy." My hands slowed, letting air come in to her words. "Mommy…can we…eat now…I hungry."
"Sure baby, just let me get dressed." Pulling back the covers, I watched as Katie jumped from the bed and bolted out of the room. Letting out a slight chuckle, I moved from the bed and to my closet. Pulling out my favorite blouse and a pair of jeans, I dressed.
Moving into my kitchen, I found my baby girl sitting at her usual spot coloring in her Spongebob Squarepants coloring book. Going behind the island, I asked. "Hey Kit Kat, what do you want to eat?"
"Can I have some 'nana's and cereal?"
"Of course, sweetie." Thank god she got my eating habits, I thought with a sad smile. Wiping a small tear from my eyes, I turned, getting the cereal ready. Putting a spoon in the bowl, I moved to table, placing bowl next to Katie's book before speaking. "There you go baby."
Moving the book to the side she pulled the bowl to her, before she turned her gaze to me. "Thank you mommy." Those hazel eyes stared deeply in mine before she turned to her meal.
Just seeing those eyes nearly undoes me every time.
Beautiful haze eyes
Greg's eyes
