Chapter three
Sara had to wince when she heard the squeal emanate from Catherine as she yanked the door open. Even being in the car Sara had heard it when the blonde woman came rushing out of her home.
It wasn't until Catherine took stock of Sara's present state that she seemed to be rooted to the ground. Sara even choose to ignored the look Catherine sent Grissom as though questioning on many things without saying a word.
Sara even chose to ignore the shake of Grissom's head answering all those questions. Sara missed the silent commuincation but she also hated it when it was used on her… like she was some suspect who had to be excluded from the conversation.
"Sara" Catherine finally spoke as she studied her stomach and Sara offered her a smile moving forward.
"I'm pregnant Cath not fat" Sara attempted to break the ice but Catherine looked at her with such surprised that Sara wondered if Catherine was even aware that the pregnant woman standing on her drive way was actually an old friend and team mate.
"Yeah… I guessed" Catherine looked like she was trying to figure out some new piece of evidence. Glancing to Grissom Sara found he wouldn't even look at her.
"Um.. If it's ok with you Cath could I use the toilet… you've been pregnant" Sara said flushing a little before Catherine nodded quickly and waved towards the house.
"You remember where" Catherine asked as Sara nodded before she looked to Grissom and sighed.
"I'll grab my bags in a second" Sara assured but Grissom lifted his eyes and shook his head only holding Sara's gaze long enough to be polite.
"I'll bring them in" Grissom assured before Sara nodded then made her way to the house gaining a quick awkward hug from Cath before she vanished into the house and headed straight to the toilet.
As Sara washed her hands she could just make out the hush voices of Grissom and Catherine.
Stepping to the door she pressed a ear to the door and listened closely holding back the fear bubbling up in her and the burning tears.
"I don't know Cath… she wouldn't tell me and I don't think we should push until she is ready to tell us" Grissom ordered as Sara sniffled back the tears glad that Grissom was on her side despite his inability to even look at her.
"Gill… would you even tell us if the child was yours" Catherine wasn't being rude but it still wounded Sara.
"Their not… Sara said they weren't and I believe her" Grissom's voice held a tint of disappointment and hurt leaving Sara to know she couldn't listen to much more without bursting into tears.
Turning the taps off Sara quickly wiped her eyes before walking out into the living room to find the pair waiting for her.
If she had even half the energy she would of have if she wasn't pregnant she might have pulled them both on their covering and false smiles but she was too tired.
"I have to head into the lab… but I'm sure you two will catch up" Grissom stated before he gave Sara a tight smile before turning leaving both women in silence.
"Thank you Gill" Sara called causing Grissom to stop and look at Sara a little stunned.
"You welcome Sara… call if you need anything" Grissom ordered before he left with out another word.
Sara slowly turned to Catherine who was staring at her once more causing Sara to slide her hand across her stomach.
"Do you want anything to drink or eat" Catherine asked as Sara shook her head then smiled lightly.
"Can I sit" Sara questioned as Catherine jumped and nodded "of course… god Sara sorry" Catherine stumbled quickly guiding Sara to her sofa.
Sara eased her self into the sofa and offered Catherine a thankful smile.
Catherine sat opposite Sara and continued to stare at her, after a few moments Sara laughed causing Catherine to look at her a little startled before she too smiled and laughed at little.
"Is it that weird" Sara asked rubbing her stomach as one of the twins made their presence felt.
"Sara… no… well… yeah on you it is a little weird" Catherine admitted before both women laughed.
"It was weird for me at first" Sara admitted smiling fondly as she glanced down at her stomach.
"For a while I didn't think I could do this… be a mother but with a little help I guess it stuck" Sara admitted before looking up to Catherine who was watching her with awe and pride.
"I understand that… the horrible decisions" Catherine admitted lowering her eyes while Sara studied her.
"Lindsey" Sara asked as Catherine gave her a half smile before shaking her head.
"Before Lindsey… I had to make some hard choices… but you have to make the right choice for you at the time… it does look weird but it looks good on you too" Catherine admitted as Sara felt the tears prick at her eyes.
"So how long will you be staying" Catherine asked as Sara thought before giving Catherine a small smile.
"I'm not sure… I'll only be staying for a few days until I can get a hotel room" Sara assured before Catherine gave her a sharp look.
"You won't… Lindsey's old room is just sitting there, and I'll be grateful for the company" Catherine half admitted half ordered causing Sara to smile before nodding.
"I think I might need a few lessons… you and Jillian have this way of ordering people in a special mom way" Sara laughed as Catherine frowned.
"Nick's mom" Catherine asked as Sara nodded before smiling.
"I was drifting around the first few months before I found myself in Texas and the Stokes place" Sara admitted as Catherine smiled before nodding.
"I guess Grissom was right we need to catch up" Catherine admitted as Sara laughed.
"Don't you have work tonight" Sara asked as Catherine waved a hand "I've got reports to fill in, the guys need something to focus on so it will be fine" Catherine declared with a large smile causing Sara to laugh again and start to relax.
Whatever Vegas brought she was ready for it now… not just because she had Catherine but she knew something's could be easy.
Sorry about delay I'm trying my hardest at the moment to update all my stories so bare with me. :D
