Chapter 10
Apologies and Phone Calls
Nick guided Sara in to his old room and gentle at her down. Sara was still out of it since what happened down stirs with Nick's mother.
"Hey Sara, my mom did not mean what she said, I think she was scared because I am the youngest and I think it hit her that all her children have families of their own now."
"Sara give her time and she will came through and be really happy."
Sara just looked up at Nick and nodded her head yes. Nick pulled Sara down so they were both lying on the bed. Nick pulled Sara close to him and he placed a kiss on her head.
"Darling are you going to be alright?"
"Yah Nick I am going to be just fine." Sara looked over at Nick.
"Were going to have a baby." Sara said as she put her hand on her abdomen.
"Yes we are darling." Nick said has he put his hand on her abdomen as well.
Sara just looked up at Nick and gave him a big smile.
"We are getting married."
"Yah we are." He said and smiled at Sara and placed a kiss on her head.
Sara leaned up and planted a passionate kiss on Nick's lips. Nick flipped them on the bed so he was on top of Sara. They broke the kiss after the need of oxygen became dismal. Nick looked into Sara's eye's and saw something there he had never seen before.
"Sara are you sure you want to do this now?"
"Yes."
That one word said it all for Nick. Nick got up to lock the door. Nick then returned to the bed where he had left Sara.
Nick and Sara were lying in bed after making love. Sara's head rested on Nick's chest and Nick placed a kiss on her head. Sara was the first one to speak.
"Nick?"
"Yah Sar"
"Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for loving me unconditionally and thank you for making me the happiest I have ever been."
"Your welcome babe." Nick said as he placed a kiss on her lips.
"Nick, I was thinking that I would love to get married here in Texas. All your family is here and it would be easier to have the gang come down here then get all of your family to Vegas."
Nick looked over at Sara in shock.
"Babe is that what you want?"
"Yah I really want to get married here, and I was thinking that we should do it before we go back to Vegas."
"Are you sure you want to do it so soon?"
"Yah, I will just call the guys, they have two weeks off for the holidays as well and they can come down a few days before the wedding and Cath can help me plan it over the phone and you just tell your family and I never planed on having a big wedding so it will not take me that long to plan it."
"Ok, were getting married. We should start now. I will go down and tell my family and you call the gang."
"Ok."
Nick got up to head down stairs to tell his family and before he could make it out the door Sara stopped him.
"Nick."
"Yah Sar."
"I love you."
"I love you two babe." Nick walked back over to the bed to place a kiss on Sara's lips.
Down Stairs
Nick went down stairs and saw that his family was sitting around the living room.
"Hey Nick nice of you to join us." Davis said
"I wanted to inform everyone that I proposed to Sara early this morning and we decided that we are going to get married here in Texas before we leave for Vegas."
Nick's family was looking at him in utter shock. Nick's mother came up to Nick.
"Nick is it ok if I talked to you in privet?"
"Sure mom."
They both walked out of the living room and into the kitchen.
"Nick I am so sorry on who I treated you and Sara. I did not mean any of it. It is just that you are my baby boy and you are the last one who does not have a family and you telling us about the baby just took me for surprise that all of my children have families of their own now. Sara is a wonderful women and I could not ask of anyone better to be your wife, the mother of your children, my daughter-in-law and the mother of my grandchild."
"Mom that is great that you feel like that I will forgive you because I had a feeling that was way you acted the way you did, but you have to apologise to Sara, she is the one who got hurt then most."
"Ok Nicky."
"Thanks mom that means a lot."
"Where is she?"
"You will have to wait until she comes down she is just calling everyone in Vegas and tell them what is happening."
"Ok, I will wait until she comes down. Nicky I really love you and I am really proud of you for what you did."
"Thanks mom. I am just going to go up stairs and she who Sara's doing."
"Ok you do that."
Nick headed up stairs to see how Sara was doing with calling the gang.
Same time up stairs
Sara picked up the phone and decided she will call Cath first.
Catherine answers.
"Hello."
"Hey Cath its Sara."
"Hey Sara, who is Texas."
"Its great. It is so beautiful here."
"I bet."
"Cath I called because your plans for Christmas might have to change."
"Sara, why would my plans for Christmas have to change?"
"Well, Nick proposed this morning and we decided that we want to get married here in Texas before we go back to Las Vegas."
"WHAT!"
"Ok Cath you can turn down the volume, I am not deaf."
"So you want us to come down, right?
"Yah I thought it would be easer since Nick has a big family it would be really hard to get everyone to Las Vegas. It would be gust easer if you guys just came to Texas. I wanted to get married in Texas and I wanted to get married before the baby is born and I still want to look good in a dress so I thought what better time then this week while we are in Texas."
"Ok, now I get why you want to do it so soon."
"Cath I was wondering if you can help me with the wedding, I know it will have to be over the phone, but I really want your help and I also want you to be my maid-of-honour and I what Linds to be my bride's maid."
"Sara, I am so honoured to be your maid-of-honour and Linds will love to be your bride's maid and I will of course help you with planning the wedding. Linds and I can actually come down tomorrow, I do not know about the rest you will have to call them."
"Really you can come tomorrow?"
"Yah, thank you so much. I have to go call the others, but I will see you tomorrow then."
"Yah, I will call you when we have our flight info."
"Ok, thanks Cath."
"Bye"
"Bye"

"Well, Nick proposed to me this morning and we decided that we want to get married here in Texas this next week that is coming up and we really want you guys to be there. Cath and Linds are coming tomorrow since she is helping out with the wedding."
"Wow Sara that is amazing, and I defiantly will be there. I will not miss my baby sisters wedding. I will join Cath and Linds tomorrow and come to Texas with them."

"Sara what are you talking about."
"I was wondering if you can come down to Texas because Nick proposed to me this morning and we want to get married some time this coming week and we want you guys to me here."
"I will not miss it for the world Sara. So when it is and when should I come down?"

"The baby's fine Jim thanks for asking. I called to ask you if you could come down to Texas because Nick proposed this morning and we want to get married here in Texas with in the next week and I really need and want you guys here."
"Sara, you did not even have to ask. I will be there with out a doubt."

"Hey babe how is it going with calling the gang?"
"Well I just have to call Grissom and I am finished. So far everyone is coming tomorrow."
"Really, that's great."
"Yah, are you going to stay here while I call Griss?"

"Yah Griss,"
"I am so happy for you and Nick and Congratulation."
"Thanks Gil that means a lot."
"Ok I will see you and Nick tomorrow then."
"Yep. Bye."
"Bye"
Sara looked over at Nick.
"Well that went well."
"I guess it did."
"So far I have figured out that Cath is going to be my maid-of-honour, Linds is going to be my bride's maid and Jim is giving me away."
"That sounds wonderful Sara."
"Warrick is going to be our best man?"
"Yep, and Greg and Griss will be my grooms men."
"Well I need to find another bride's maid."
"Well do you have any friends from your childhood or from college or California?"
"I have a foster sister. We become really close and we try to stay in touch as much as possible, but I have not talked to her since I came to Vegas."
"Wow Sara that is almost five years ago."
"I know."
"Why don't you call her?"
"Ok, I will caller her, can you stay with me while I call her?"
"Sure, and I think after you finish the call my mom wants to talk to you and apologies."
"Ok. I have my friends number in my phone book in my purse, do you think you can pass it to me Nick."
"Sure babe."
Nick got up and got Sara's purse for her. She opened up her phone book and looked up her foster sister's number. It started to ring and after it ringing three time the phone was picked up.
"Hello."
"Hi, is Jen there?"
"Just one moment please."
Sara looked over to Nick and smiled at him.
"Hello."
"Hi, Jen this is Sara."
"OMG, Sara Sidle."
"Yes as you live and breathe."
"Well what do I owe this call from you?"
"Well Jen I am getting married next week and I would really love it if you could come and be one of my bride's maids."
"That is so great Sara that you are getting married and I would love to be one of your bride's maids."

"You do not have to do that Jen."
"But I want to Sara. I will see you tomorrow. I will call you when I have landed to you can give me the address."
"Ok thanks again Jen, Bye see you tomorrow."

Sara just looked over at Nick and saw him smiling at her. She scooted closer to him and placed a kiss on his lips.

"I love you as well Sara and I love this baby." Nick said as he rested his hand on her stomach.
