Chapter Four
Disclaimer: I do not own CSI
Sara and Grissom were both unaware of the rumor that was going around about her being pregnant. They were too busy dealing with their current cases to hear the whispers and notice the stares. It was only when Ecklie stormed into Grissom's office when he took notice.
"Gil we have to talk" he said and motioned for Sara to leave.
Grissom plastered a smile on his face. "Conrad, whatever you have to say to me, you can say to Sara"
"I have to fire you" Conrad said bluntly.
Grissom and Sara exchanged looks. "What are you talking about?"
"You two – your relationship. It cannot go on with you two working together" he replied.
"Conrad, Sara moved to days."
"Well Sara is going to be given plenty of time off now that she's expecting" Conrad continued.
Gil and Sara exchanged looks again. "What are you talking about Conrad… expecting?"
"Duh a baby." Conrad replied.
Grissom looked at Sara. "Have you been keeping something from me Sara?"
Sara shook her head. "N-no – uh I – uh No … .We're always careful GILBERT!" she said through clenched teeth. This was not the conversation she wanted to have with Conrad in the room.
Conrad looked at Sara and Grissom. "Well someone is spreading a horrible rumor if you are not expecting Sara. I suggest you nip it in the butt now!" Conrad turned on his heel and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
"W-wonder h-how he – I" Sara couldn't even put two syllables together before she turned on her heel and left the room.
Gil Grissom stared at the retreating back of his girlfriend-fiancée. He was so confused as to what just happened. He and Sara were always careful. But for someone to spread a rumor like that was unforgivable. He sent a mass text to his entire graveyard team to meet immediately in the break room for a very important talk. He wanted to clear up any confusion. He also had to figure out what to do about Hodges. Hodges had read Sara's text and that was against regulations to read others' text messages / emails or whatever.
