A Whole New Take, on Season 8
As Sara lay in her hospital bed, she stared down at the large cast that enclosed her right arm. She was thinking deeply of her time in the desert over the past few days.
"Big, isn't it" Grissom remarked as he entered the room. At this, Sara was brought back to reality
"Try having it on your arm!" Grissom saw a smile stretch across Sara's face in the first time in what seemed like forever. Awkward silences arose between Grissom and Sara, but after a few moments it was broken by a large sigh from grissom,
"They know." He mumbled
"Who, what, where, how?"
"They know about us"
"WHY!!" Sara shouted, anger creeping into her voice.
"They had to know to understand the case!"
"No, no they didn't. You know what'll happen. Ecklie'll find out! Nothing stays secret in the lab for to long!" The tears ran down Sara's face as she screamed at Grissom.
"They're our friends, they say a word!"
"I'll loose my job if, no once Ecklie's found out. I'm putting my job on the line for you Gil."
"C'mon darling, all this stress isn't good for you" Grissom pleaded
"How do you know what's good for me!" Sara screamed.
"I-I" but Grissom was cut off by Sara screaming.
"I'm done, its over, please, just leave"
Grissom stepped forward and took hold of Sara's hand, "but Sara,"
She pulled it away from him, "leave"
Grissom bent over to kiss her forehead, but Sara turned away.
"If that's what you really want, then I'll go." He said, walking towards the door.
Outside, Nick was waiting, to Grissom's dismay. He gave Grissom a sympathetic look.
"How much did you hear?" Grissom asked.
"Enough." In Nick's eyes he gave the same sad, sympathetic look. "Maybe I could try talking to her. I'm sure she's just tired and a bit overwhelmed. It's been a tough twenty-four hours for everyone."
"No thanks. She was pretty clear that this is what she wants, its over, and I've gotta deal with it" Grissom said, and then he turned and walked away.
Nick pushed open the door and was greeted by,
"What did I say- Oh, Nick, sorry" Sara screamed, paused, then realised who it was.
"Yes…me. Expecting someone else?" he asked.
"Something like that…" Sara trailed off.
"So…how have you been?"
"As well as anyone would be after being under a car!"
"Didn't loose your humour then." They both shared a short laugh "You been sleeping well?"
"Not really……." Sara trailed off
"Whys that?" nick walked closer to the bed
"Nightmares"
"What about?"
"Sand, water" She paused "Her" tears began rolling down her face. Nick hated seeing Sara cry so he tried to make some small talk again
"So… how's"
"Stop the small talk Nick you heard everything didn't you"
"Well…are you together anymore?"
"I just don't know anymore" At that moment Sara's nurse came in.
"Miss Sidle" she began
"Sara, please call me Sara"
"Ok, Sara, your blood test results are in"
"And"
"Congratulations!"
"What do you mean congratulations?" Nick questioned
"You're pregnant!" The nurse beamed but Sara and Nick looked worryingly at each other.
