----------------------------------------------------------------
Pulling on her jacket, Sara sat down on the hard chair and waited for Doctor Anderson to come back.
She was feeling slightly worried that there was something wrong, but pushed this aside as she reminded herself to ask about the stomach flu.
As she watched the older doctor walk in, he sat down and looked at her file.
"Sara, I ran a number of routine tests today." Breathing in slowly, Sara kept listening.
"Are you aware that you're pregnant?"
Shocked to hear the word, Sara tried to count back to her last period and realized it had been two months.
Doctor Anderson saw the shocked look in her eyes, as he walked from behind his desk and sat down next to Sara.
"I am guessing from your reaction that it was not planned?"
Nodding her head, Sara was in complete shock.
"I can't …, but," was all she could manage, knowing that she had the worst luck imaginable.
She had only slept with Grissom once and she was now pregnant.
Worse than that, he had left her and was sleeping with Sofia.
What was she going to do?
Noticing the doctor was giving her a pat on the back, he spoke again.
"There are many options Sara … you can have an abortion or there is adoption or you could keep it. The choice is yours."
Nodding her head, Sara knew she had a lot to think about.
As the doctor walked back to his desk, he picked up a prescription pad.
"I am going to write up a prescription for pre-natal vitamins and some anti nausea tablets. You also need to make an appointment with your OBGYN and they can discuss your options with you in further detail."
Still in shock, Sara accepted the prescription and thanked the doctor before walking out.
----------------------------------------------
Giving the prescription to the pharmacist, Sara started walking around the drug store still in shock about her pregnancy.
Looking at the different products, she found herself beside the pregnancy tests.
Although she knew in her heart she was expecting she picked up the kit knowing her rational mind needed a second opinion.
--------------------------------------------------
Seeing the cross, Sara felt tears coming down her cheeks.
Both her emotion and rational minds were in sync now – she was pregnant.
Not sure what she was going to do, all she could think about was Grissom and Sofia in bed together, kissing each other … making love to each other.
----------------------------------------------------
Sara had to tell someone and knowing Catherine would have to know about her condition sooner or later, she rang and asked if she could come over before shift.
Staring down at her tea, Sara felt Catherine pull her hand towards hers in a gesture of friendship.
"Cath, I received some news from Doctor Anderson at my check up."
Seeing pain in her supervisor's eyes, she quickly smiled to indicate she was not sick.
"As it turns out, I'm pregnant and you're my supervisor and friend so …"
"Wow, Sara have you decided what to do?" Catherine asked knowing Sara was not in a serious relationship.
Shaking her head, Sara could feel tears come down her cheeks.
Catherine, who was now sitting beside Sara, put her arms around her as she told what had happened.
--
"God Sara, I certainly understand why you didn't tell anyone. But you are strong and you can handle this. In fact I will help you in any way you need."
Smiling back through her tears, Sara was relieved that Catherine knew about her past and about Grissom knowing she could not have kept it in much longer.
"Please don't tell anyone yet, I know I have to tell him but …" Sara was about to finish, as Catherine spoke again.
"You have nothing to worry about but you will probably have to leave field work after six months if you choose to keep it …"
Smiling again, she was happy to have someone on her side.
----------------------------------------------------
Looking at her flat stomach in the mirror, she wondered when her body was going to start changing.
Having decided to keep the baby Sara was now looking forward to her first check up with her new doctor – suggested by Catherine.
Thinking she had another question for her doctor, she grimaced as she saw Sofia walk into the locker room.
Knowing Grissom might now be free Sara quickly darted out and walked into his office.
Not invited, Sara saw him look at her with a raised eye brow as she quickly shut the door and sat down.
"Grissom," she started, "I'm pregnant" she blurted out.
"It's yours," she continued as she saw him looking directly as her with his mouth slightly opened.
"I know this will come as a shock as I know you have moved on and want nothing to do with me, but I thought you should know …" about to continue Sofia ran in.
"Get out Sofia," Sara heard Grissom shout and was shocked as she ran out leaving them alone.
"You can have as much to do with the baby as you want but …" about to continue Grissom started to speak.
"Sara, I …" although she wanted to hear what he had to say she could not keep looking at him.
Walking towards the door, Sara had her hand on the handle and was about to walk out when she said, "I would have loved you forever," before she walked out.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Sofia knew something was up.
Thinking Sara was over Grissom, she was shocked to see her walk into his office.
Knowing she had to stop whatever was about to happen, Sofia ran into his room only to be told to go away.
Sofia was angry that her plan was not working as quickly as expected. She waited for Sara to leave before going back to see Grissom again.
Walking in, Sofia saw Grissom deeply engaged with his computer and had to clear her throat to gain his attention.
Sitting down, Sofia waited for him to respond.
"Sofia, I apologise for yelling, but you need to knock before entering my office."
Smiling back, Sofia attempted to nudge forward in her chair so he could see her cleavage but was upset as she saw he was more interested in whatever was on his screen.
Pouting, Sofia left his office mentally deciding she needed a new plan of action.
