Experiments gone wrong

A month of wedded bliss passed by and the lab was finally back to normal with the guys all laughing and playing around in the break room. Nick and Warrick were in the middle of a heated debate about a video game when Grissom came in with assignments. They disbanded and quieted, looks of guilt plastered on their faces.

Grissom smiled, yep things were back to normal. He handed out assignments and then headed back to his office to complete the paperwork that seemed to be ever increasing and threatening to take over his desk. He hated this part of his job.

A soft knock interrupted his thoughts a couple of hours later. He looked up and smiled at his wife. "hey there, how are you feeling?"

"I'm ok, I see you found your desk." She said with a smile and a nod at the newfound surface.

"yeah, I was beginning to think it was a lost cause." He responded.

She entered the office a little further, "I wanted to let you know that I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow. Do you want to come this time? They are going to do the ultrasound." Grissom's face brightened.

"You know I do." He got up from his chair and rounded his desk, pulling her into a hug.

"So…" he said into her neck as he placed soft kisses there, "when are we going to tell the guys, you know they are going to want to know."

"I was thinking about that…mmmmmm…how about hide nothing, act normal and let them find out for themselves." She could feel his smile against her neck and smiled herself.

"Sounds like a plan" he said placing one last kiss on her neck before pulling away. She whimpered slightly from the loss but recovered quickly when she remembered where they were.

A couple of days later Grissom was adding the last touches to his latest experiment. He had warned Sara to steer clear of the room by telling her what he was up to. He took his smock off and stowed it away before heading to the break room for lunch.

Sara was already there talking to Catherine about a case they were working on together. Cath had taken over as Sara's supervisor and things seemed to be going very smoothly. He grabbed his lunch from the fridge and joined them at the table.

They were in discussing Sara's case when a horrible smell entered the room and Sara turned three shades of green before bolting up from his chair and running to the bathroom. Just as she ran out Greg ran in, "Griss, I think something went wrong with your experiment." He said while holding a rag over his mouth.

"Greg, what did you do?" he growled while getting up and heading in the direction of the room where his experiment was brewing closely followed by Greg. He yelled over his should to Catherine, "Cath, can you go and check on Sara please."

She nodded her head and started towards the bathroom. When she got there Sara was rinsing her mouth out at one of the sinks. "Are you ok?" Cath asked gently.

Sara was about to respond when the nausea hit again and she bolted for the closest stall. Catherine waited for her to emerge again, "I'm ok Cath, just a little sick."

"You looked fine in the break room." She commented.

"The smell just got to me is all. I hate Gils experiments" she said while rinsing her mouth out again.

Catherine gave her worried look, "I don't remember you ever having a problem with them before…" She eyes grew wide, "Sara, are you pregnant?!"

Sara dropped her head and closed her eyes, confirming Cath's question. "Oh my god, congratulations. How far along are you? Does Griss know? How long have you known?..."

"Cath" Sara yelled, shutting the other woman up. "I'm three months, yes Gil knows, and we just found out a week ago" she answered. "Please no more questions, I really don't feel well."

Cath noticed she still looked a bit pale and took pity on her. She gently guided her out of the bathroom, towards Grissom's office and away from the offending smell. Once inside she closed the door and encouraged Sara to lie down on the couch.

A minute later Grissom came in and kneeled next to Sara. "How are you feeling?"

"A little better now, too bad I upchucked my entire lunch" she looked at him pointedly. "What did Greg do this time?"

"He accidentally turned up the burner to my experiment, the whole things ruined. I'm going to have to start from scratch" he said, sounding a bit peeved at the fact. They heard Cath clear her throat behind them.

Grissom stood up and asked, "Breakfast at our house in the morning?"

Cath just smiled in response, nodded her head and headed out of the office.

"Cath?" Sara yelled after her.

"Yeah yeah, I know the drill, don't tell anyone, secret…blah blah blah" she said as she continued her way back to the break room.
