Nick pulled up in front of the large two story house. A blonde came walking down the side walk to greet him. "You must be Nick?" "Yes ma'am I am. Is everything ready?" He asked. Not really noticing her but the house, and with a huge smile on his face. "Welll, Nick, let's go on in shall we?" She purred, openly flirting with him. Nick followed her into the house and shut the door. Not realizing across the street Morgan and Greg were leaving their new home, and saw the whole thing. "Greg, was that uh Nick?" "I think it was, but why was he going in there with her? And who is her?" They both looked at each other.
Sara was at home still crying. Her phone rang thinking it was Nick and not really paying attention to the caller id answered. "Sara?" "Yes Morgan *sniff sniff* what do you want?" Sara snapped. "I just wanted to check on you. I heard that Nick had arrived back, and well I was wondering if you told him yet." "I didn't have too, he found the sono pictures on the coffee table." Morgan wanted to know what was going, but not sure if she should mention Nick and the blonde. "Well! How ecstatic is he?" "He didn't look too thrilled, I think maybe he was in shock. He just got up and walked out. I don't know where he is. He won't answer his phone. I don't know what to do at this point." "Oh Sara. I wish I had magically words to tell you and wish I knew how to fix this…" "Morgan its ok. As long as Greg is treating you right that's where your focus should be." "Well that's just it. He asked me to marry him, and um I found out I'm pregnant." 'Oh um congratulations! Let me know if you need anything I am always here for you." Thank you Sara, and the same goes for you. Don't worry Nick is a great guy. He wouldn't leave you to raise the child by yourself." "Children…." Sara barely whispered. "Twins! That's awesome news! Ok let me know if you need anything I mean it. If he doesn't come back I will hunt him down, and I know how to hide the evidence…." Sara laughed. Greg was listening in, and watching the house Nick had gone into. Suddenly Nick and the blonde walk out, she gives him a hug that seems to linger just a bit longer than necessary to Greg's liking. "Morgan….Morgan..." Greg whispered. "Nick's out now." Morgan gave him a look that said shut up, but too late Sara had heard. "Morgan, what's going on? Where is Nick?" "Uh um oh damn, Sara I'm sorry. Greg and I just bought a house, and when we were coming out we uh well..." Morgan stalled. "Morgan Brody! Spit it out, where is Nick?" "Well he went into this house with some blonde woman that we don't know who she is. I think I've seen her around though. But you know maybe it's a meeting for something. Maybe Nick has a surprise, or a relative…" On the other line Sara's phone started beeping in, she glanced at it and saw Nick's picture appear. "Morgan, I have to let you go. " With that she clicked over. "Hello Nicholas…." "Hey babe! Sorry I missed your call I didn't even hear my phone. I'm on my way home and I have a huge surprise for you." Sara wanting to know where he was and trying not to let her emotions get the best of her, but she couldn't help it. "Nick. WHERE. HAVE. YOU. BEEN?" Sara enunciated every word carefully. Nick was too lost in his happy bubble to realize she was furious and upset. "I had some errands to run, but I promise it's part of the surprise. Hey I'm pulling up. I'll be in shortly."
Sara was beyond mad. She was crying, and not sure what was going to happen. But if he wanted to go back to long legged blondes...he can have them. I will raise this kid myself. I can still get my job back in San Francisco, and if not I will move anywhere! But I don't want to lose Nick. I love him. I want him in my life, in these babies lives…oh man Nick! Please PLEASE don't let your reputation becoming back! With that Sara let the tears fall as she curled up on the couch under Nick's Dallas Cowboy's throw.
They hung up, and Greg was calling Nick. "Hey Greggo! How's it going? Did you hear the great news? Sara is pregnant with MY twins!" Nick said with a smile in his voice. "Yes Nick I did hear, but that's not why I called. Why were you going in that house with the blonde chick?" "OW' Greg yelled as Morgan slapped him. "Um how did you know I was with Trish?" "We just bought a house on that street and walked out as you were walking in, and saw you walk out. Looked pretty cozy to me. Are you cheating on Sara? YOUR PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND?" Greg was getting mad at this. "No man, I'd never cheat on her. I love her more than anything in this world. She is my life, and her carrying my children…well I was looking at a house. In fact if Sara likes it I'm buying it for her. I just bought a ring, and I'm proposing tonight for her." "Oh man Nick…we are so sorry." "What did yall do?" Morgan was on the phone with Sara, and heard me saying you were leaving, and well…" "Damn it Greg! Sigh. Look I'm back at our apartment, let me go talk to her." "Good luck, if we can help…." "You've done enough but if I need your help I'll let you know."
Nick pulled in the drive and braced himself. He knew Sara, and when she was furious it was not a good thing. Added hormones he will be lucky to walk away. "Ok Stokes…here goes…"
Nick got out and walked up to the door. He slowly opened it and went inside. All was dark except the TV. It was tuned to a forensic show. He smiled, not at work and still watching what we do every day. He heard sniffling, and looked at the couch where Sara lay. "Sara…baby…" He said kneeling in front of her. She looked at him with tear stained face. Then the Sidle glare came over.. 'WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? WHAT AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU NOW THAT I'M PREGNANT? NEED TO GO BACK TO YOUR OLD WAYS? IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE DOING IN QUANTICO? YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T NEED YOU TO HELP ME RAISE THESE TWINS, HELL YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO CLAIM THEM. US THREE WILL MOVE AWAY AND BE OUT OF YOUR LIFE…' Sara ranted at him. Nick reached out and grabbed her…"SARA! SHUT UP FOR ONE MINUTE PLEASE!" She just sat back arms crossed. Nick continued. "Well I wanted to do all this as a surprise, take you out to dinner and all, but…Sara Sidle…I love you. I've loved you for a very long time now. I think it started the night I was kidnapped. In the coffin, all I could think of was you. Then when you were kidnapped, it was my turn to find you. I scoured Natalie's apartment looking for something. I knew you were Grissom's but I couldn't help it. To see you smile, hear your laugh. Feel your arms around me, you in my arms at night…I feel complete. Being away these past weeks made me realize that more and more. I know you talked to Greg and Morgan. But Sara, I wasn't cheating on you. Yes I was with a woman. Her name is Trish." Nick paused for breath, and Sara stared at him not knowing tears were running down her cheeks. "Well at least you can..." "SARA! STOP! I'm not done!" He took a breath and sighed. "Trish is my realtor. I have been looking at house online, and had an appointment to go look at one today. I think it'd be perfect for us. I was planning on us getting a house, and now with the babies on the way…well it is all working out perfectly. I have not bought it yet. I want your opinion first." He paused and looked at her. She was stunned. "A-a house? For us?" "Yes babe, all 4 of us, and maybe more..." Nick grinned with all the Stokes charm. "Let's get through this pregnancy first mister." Sara said poking him in the chest. He leaned in and kissed her. Tenderly at first, making sure it was she wanted. She in turned deepened the kiss. "Sara, I love you with all my heart. I don't want another woman. You are it for me!" Still on his knees he looked at her and grabbed her hand. "I had planned this whole romantic night out, with dinner and then we'd stop in front of the fountains at the Bellagio, but I think now is perfect." From his pocket he pulled out a light blue box with a white ribbon tired around. The familiar tiffany box had Sara's eyes go huge. "Is he…is he going to ask me to marry him? The girl in her jumped up and down. Her inner goddess stood to the side shaking her head saying about damn time!" "Sara Sidle, I can't express my love any more. You are an amazing woman, from being a CSI, a best friend, and now you are glowing with the pregnancy of my babies. I can't see myself without you. I want us to grow old together, watch our grandchildren grow up. Sara Sidle, will you do the honor of becoming my wife?" Nick held open the box which contained a beautiful princess cut diamond ring surrounded by blue sapphires. Sara's mouth formed an "O" expression. She was speechless. Nick started to get worried by this…
"Sara…Sara…are you going to answer me?" With that Sara clamped a hand to her mouth and ran to the bathroom. Nick could hear her vomiting. Not sure what to do he sat there with his hands in hands. Sara finally emerged from the bathroom… "I'm sorry Nick, nerves and still some lingering morning sickness…" She rambled. Nick looked up at her with a confused and sad expression. Sara sat down in front of him, took his head in her hands, and looking into his deep brown eyes 'Yes Nicholas Stokes, I will marry you!"
