Chapter 7 Fate can be so cruel sometimes...

A/N OK so I'm trying to stay somewhat with what's going on in the show, but following my own timeline at that.

Disclaimer: Still don't own CSI or the characters...but I hope for more Snickers!

6 weeks later….

The gang was enjoying a quiet night in the lab. Catching up on paperwork. Morgan and Greg sat in the corner giggling. "They are such a cute couple. I'm so glad they took the risk." Sara thought. She looked over at Nick and smiled. Thinking on how close they had become these past couple of months. She was practically living at his house, he'd even cleaned out closet and drawer space for her. She had found herself falling even more in love with him every day. They still had not said the "L word" yet, neither wanted to be first, yet neither wanted to be rejected. But as she thought on it, she could not picture her future without him by her side. Nick looked up then and caught her eye. He broke out into a huge grin and winked at her.

About then Hodges walked in for a break. He grabbed a container out of the fridge and as he went to heat it up in the microwave, the smell Sara started to feel sick. Quickly she jumped up and ran to the restroom, barely making it before emptying her stomach contents. She had been being extremely sensitive to smells lately. Throwing up, more tired than usual. She blamed the fatigue on her and Nick's sex life, that man was insatiable. As she stood at the sink washing her face she happened to glance over at a box of tampons they kept here in case of emergencies. Suddenly she broke out in a cold sweat. She was late…"Oh my god! Am I pregnant? No IM on the pill. That's not possible. It's just stress" But she knew she was lying to herself. Following the evidence she knew that she was carrying Nick's child. "What am I going to tell him? Will he stay? Run?" Sara thought rubbing her hand on her stomach. Is she already starting to show? She had noticed she was a gaining weight, but just thought it was the way her and Nick had been eating. Just then Nick knocked on the door, "Sar are you ok?" She opened the door and walked out. "Yea I think I ate something bad or I'm getting sick." Nick was concerned. "Why don't I see if D.B. will let us go home?" "Um you stay Nick. I'm just going to go get crackers and sprite and lay down." Nick let her go, but was worried about her.

Sara did stop for the groceries, but also picked up 3 different brands of pregnancy tests. Nervously she read the boxes and tried the first one. It didn't take more than a minute to show 2 lines. The next two were the same results. The evidence did not lie…Sara Sidle was pregnant! She and Nick had moved in together about 3 weeks ago, and their relationship was going so well. She sat down on the couch and cried. Worried Nick would flip out and kick her out. Reject the baby. Eventually she cried herself to sleep.

This is how Nick found her, curled up on the couch with a tear stained face. He sat down next to her and watched his beautiful girl friend at the same time worrying about her. "Hey babe." He said. "Hhhi Nick." You're home. "Yes, how are you feeling?" Sara panicked at this thought. "Do I tell him, do I wait?" But before she could give more thought on that Nick sprung some news on her "You will never guess what a great opportunity I was offered today?" He sat staring at her with a look of sheer excitement. "Wwhat is that?" Sara panicked, thinking maybe someone had figured out what was going on with her. "Cath called, and is wanting me to come and train for a few weeks at Quantico with her! Can you believe it?" Nick was excited. Sara just sat there speechless. "That's uh that's great! When do you leave?" She said with surprise in her voice. "Well that's the thing she is wanting me to leave tonight. I have
a flight out in 2 hours." This made Sara angry. "Didn't you think to oh I don't know ask me? You know you're girlfriend?" She didn't mean for the words to sound so harsh but she couldn't help it. Here she is just found out she is pregnant, and he's leaving for a few weeks. Thinking to herself, "ok I'll go get the confirmation from the doctor before actually telling him. But what if he wants to stay there? Will I lose him? Will he meet someone new?" Sara sat there quietly as these thoughts raced through her head. "Sara…Sara…say something!" Nick was lightly touching her arm. At this she flinched. "I'm sorry what?" "Well I'm leaving in a couple of hours…we won't see each other for some time…" Nick said wagging his eyebrows. Suddenly Sara jumped up, hand over her mouth and ran to the bathroom to throw up what little was on her stomach. "Sara are you ok?" Nick asked walking in and rubbing her back. "Yes I'm fine. I think I uh ate something that is not agreeing with me." Nick looked at Sara as if he didn't believe her, but he had a flight to pack for, and needed to get going. He shut the door behind him, and headed for the bedroom. Sara leaned against the wall and cried. Placing her hand on her stomach..."well kid, now what?"

"SARA! HAVE YOU SEEN MY…" "Nick you don't have to yell. What are you looking for?" "Oh...just.." Once she had him packed. She dropped him off at the airport. Once he we walked in, Sara's tears finally escaped.

Sara sat the next day in an exam room. Exam had gone well, and now she was awaiting the results. "Well congratulations, Ms. Sidle. You are pregnant. About 6 weeks. How are you feeling?" "I am still having the morning sickness. Trying to hide it at work has not been easy…" "Well I'll write you something to help with that, and as you leave schedule your next appointment." "Thanks doctor." Sara left the office, scheduled her follow up, and sighed. "I wish Nick was here. Ho do I tell him? Do I call him? Wait till he is home?" These thoughts continuously went through her head.

A/N OK I'm trying to keep it similar with what's going on story wise...PLEASE REVIEW!
