A/N I am trying my hand at another snickers story! I love the idea of Sara being pregnant. After the most recent episode, and seeing her and Nick working together again I had inspiration! Of course Morganders thrown in for good friends of mine!

Would like to send congratulations to Mr and Mrs Eads on the announcement of expecting a baby!

Enjoy! :)

Ch 1 Can't Keep Calm

Sara Sidle was nervous about returning back to work. She had been taking time off, no one knew why. She had found out 2 months ago she was pregnant, and the morning sickness was keeping her at home more. She had not alerted the father, and was not sure how he would even react.

Walking into the crime lab, she sighed and decided to get the talk with DB out of the way. Knocking at his door, she stood there with a half-smile on her face. "Russell, do you have a minute?" "Sure Sara come on in." Sara walked in and looked around. A sadness came over her as she remembered the man who once held court in this office. The man she had loved for years, and now had lost him. Sitting down she sighed and began the confession. "Well, Russell, I am um….well pregnant. That's why I have been taking time off. I know that I can't work with certain chemicals and crime scenes." Russell leaned back in his chair and looked at the woman before him. He knew she had been through a lot, and knew this was taking courage to do this. "Ok Sara, we will watch what crime scenes we send you too. Try and avoid certain parts of the lab. How far along are you? Have you told the father?" Russell was thinking she was pregnant by her ex-husband, and hoped he would he be there for her.

Sara smiled and a sad smile. "I am about 4 months now. I find out next week what I am having. No the father doesn't know. I plan to tell him this week. No its not Grissom." Russell was shocked but didn't want to show it. "Ok Sara. Well just know I am here for you. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask Barbara." "Thanks Russell."

Sara got up and walked out to the locker room. Opening the door she was confronted by a bare chested Nick Stokes. Standing there she just stared. "Wow he is gorgeous." Thinking back memories flooded to her mind.

4 months back

Nick and Sara had gone out on a rare night off. Sara wanted to blow off steam after the year she'd been having. Since her DUI years ago she was careful when she drank, and knew her limit. Tonight she didn't care.

"Sooooo Sar, how's it going since, well you know?" Nick slurred. They'd decided to go to a popular tequila bar on the strip. Sara had decided shots of Patron would be the best, and they both had already downed about 3 each, not to mention the margaritas. Sara smiled at her handsome co-worker. She had a huge crush on him, he was her best friend, but she was too chicken to ever make move. "Its getting better. Although I miss the sex." Sara definitely was not thinking clearly. "Oh my god! Did I just say that?" she thought. Nick was shocked at her boldness, but he had to admit he was happy at that. He'd been in love with her for years, but had never made a move. She was always Grissom's, and off limits. "Well Sara…I can help you with that!" Nick reached over and grabbed her hand. Sara was very aware of the feel of his hand, and the sensations it was causing. "Can I really take him up on his offer? He is an amazing man, but would it ruin our friendship?" Downing one more shot Sara looked at Nick, "Ok Nicky. Your place or mine?" "Mine." With that Nick was up paying their tab, and calling a taxi.

The pair ran to the waiting taxi holding hands and giggling. Both were lost in thought thinking of what was to come. Nick gave the driver his address and pulled Sara into his arms. Looking at her he couldn't help but smile. Taking a chance he leaned in and whispered "I love you Sara." Sara didn't say anything, she was stunned at his confession, but her heart was doing flip flops. Nick's arm around her was wreaking havoc with her hormones. "What the hell…I know I love him." She smiled at him. "I love you too Nick."

Arriving at his house they walked up to the door, Nick was fiddling with his keys. He felt like he was back in high school, and nervous as hell. Finally he got the door opened. Once inside Sara grabbed him and kissed him with a hunger. Nick pushed her against the wall, his hands exploring up her shirt. Sara tugged her shirt off, revealing a black lacy bra. Nick growled at how sexy she looked. Leaving a trail of clothes they landed in his bed, both wearing just one article of clothing. "Niiickk…I can't wait. I need you." Nick kissed her and started a trail down her neck, taking time to kiss down to wear her black lacey thong was barely covering her. Nick slowly slid them off, taking his time to admire the beautiful woman laying before him. Not able to wait any longer Sara sat up, pushed him down and relieved him of his boxers. Smiling it was her turn to tease him. Leaning up to kiss him, she grabbed him, letting him know it was time.

An hour later they lay tangled in sheets, both smiling. Tequila was still running in strong in their blood, but neither of them cared. They were on a high from each other. Rolling over she grabbed Nick's arm and pulled him to her. "C'mon Nicky, lets sleep." Sara mumbled, cuddling up to Nick. Nick smiled and sighed. Listening to her even breathing, he kissed her forehead, and snuggled up to her. "I love you Sara Sidle." He whispered as he fell asleep.

The next morning Nick woke up alone. Sara had left a note saying she was sorry but needed to sober up at home. She didn't regret the night, and yes she loved him. At work it was a different story. After a few days of awkwardness, they both decided to not talk of that night, but would remain friends. Nick wasn't sure how he could just be friends, but he didn't want to push her.

Sara stood in a daze thinking about that night, and the days after. She didn't regret that night. It was an amazing night, probably the best night of her life. Nick was an exceptional lover, but now she needed to confess. He was going to be a daddy. She was scared of how he would take it. Would he accept it? Would he want to be with her or a part time dad? She didn't know if she could handle rejection.

Nick caught sight of Sara, and looked at her curiously. She had a look on her face and was in deep thought. He pulled a shirt on, and decided to address her, "Hey Sara! How are you? Russell said you've needed time off. Was starting to worry about you. Especially when you wouldn't return my calls or texts." Nick was rambling. He was madly in love with her, and worried about her absence from work. Workaholic Sara Sidle didn't miss work.

"Uh Nick, why don't you sit down. We need to talk." Just then Greg and Morgan walked in. Holding hands, the new couple were giggling and sharing an inside joke. "Oh hey you two. Glad to see you back Sara." Morgan said letting go of Greg's hand. Suddenly everyone's phone went off. "Family Meeting." Greg grabbed Morgan and the two headed to Russell's office. "Sara, what did you need to tell me?" "Um it can wait..." She turned to walk out the door, Nick walked over and caught her hand. "Sar…what's going on? Tell me! You can trust me." Sara looked at Nick, tears forming in her eyes. "Nick, I'm pregnant. Four months now." Nick looked at Sara with a surprised look on his face. "Is it mine?" She yanked her arm free and gave him a go to hell look. "YES NICK! IT'S YOURS! YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE I'VE BEEN WITH. GIL AND I HAVE NOT BEEN TOGETHER IN 8 MONTHS!" Sara was pissed. "How could he ask that? I knew I shouldn't have told him." "Calm down. I just had to ask. I am sorry but I need to think." Walking past her he headed out. Not bothering to go to the meeting. Nick hoped in his Denali and headed to the desert, a favorite place of his to clear his head. Sara sat down and cried. "Did I make a mistake? Maybe I should move back to San Francisco. Start over. No I can't do that. This is my home now." Sighing she went to wash her face, and to the meeting. Plastering a smile on her face she walked in, "Ok guys, what do we have tonight?"
