A couple weeks later Nick found Warrick in the lab with crime scene photos spread in front of him. Nick stood across from him and they both stared at the photos in silence.

"Man, I cannot wrap my head around this," Warrick admitted.

"You seem a little distracted."

Warrick rubbed his eyes. "Yeah, I know."

"Something going on at home?"

He shook his head. "It's just Sam. She's just not the same. She had a coworker bring her work to the house and she doesn't go anywhere. I come home and she's laying around in her pajamas." He sighed. "I don't know what's going on. She won't talk to me, when I ask her what's going on she shuts down."

"Man, I don't know what to tell you about that. Is she not feeling good?"

"I asked if she was sick or anything and she said no. It's like her life stopped when she got kidnapped. And suddenly I'm invisible." Just then Warrick's phone vibrated next to him on the table. He flipped it open to check the text message. "Speak of the devil. I gotta go meet Sam. I'll be back."

"Yeah, go ahead. If Grissom says anything I got you covered."

Warrick drove to the park a couple blocks from the lab. He got out and made his way to the bench where he noticed Sam sitting by the playground. He kissed her then sat next to her.

"Everything ok?"

"Yeah," she paused. "I need to apologize for how I've been acting. I shouldn't have shut you out the way I did." She kept her eyes focused on the children playing in front of them. "I've just been so down, you know. I wish every day that I could go back in time and fix it. But I've been selfish because I never realized how much you've been affected as well." She looked at him. "I love you, Warrick and I never meant to do any of this to you. I know you're gonna say it isn't my fault and I know the abduction wasn't but the rest was." She held her hand up to stop him from speaking. "Before you say anything there's more. I went to the doctor yesterday to see if there was actually something wrong with me physically. He ran a few tests and, uh, well here." She handed him a small gift bag.

Warrick pulled the tissue paper out and dug out a baby's onesie that said "I love Daddy." He smiled and looked at her. "Is this for real? We're having a baby?"

She smiled and nodded. She hugged him tightly then kissed him. "I was wondering why I was gaining so much weight lately."

"Oh my God, how far along are you?"

"Doctor said three months."

"How didn't you realize before?"

"I just thought I was tired because of the stress of everything that happened and my period is irregular sometimes anyway." He took her hand in his and kissed the top of it. "I think this is gonna help. It's the distraction I needed like Nick said."

He nodded. "I love you, Sam."

She smiled. "I love you, too."
