A/N: Thanks Sara and Gabriella for taking a look at this. It is very much appreciated. And thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter. I know, it's a day late but I had some personal family stuff... anyway, enjoy. :)


It took 5 tries for Nick to finally get through to Grissom, who, it seemed, had his phone off.

"Grissom." Nick heard when his boss finally picked up.

"Griss, it's Nick."

"Hello Nick." Grissom sounded confused. He had no idea why the young man would be calling him. Then it clicked. Sara! "Nick, what is going on? Did Sara ask you to call me? Did her concussion get any worse?"

"Grissom, calm down. She told me not to let you worry. Sara fine...now. She was on a case with Catherine and she collapsed, she's suffering from placental detachment caused by stress but everything's okay. She's fine and the baby's doing great." There was silence for a few minutes on the line and Nick was worried that they'd been disconnected. Quietly Grissom's voice came back over the line.

"Where are you?"

"Outside Desert Palm. Sara's going to stay the night here and then I'm going to take her home."

"I'm coming home. Will you stay with her until I get there?"

"Of course"

"Thank you. Tell her I love her."

"I will." Nick listened as his boss hung up.

Sara was sleeping in her room, her head still resting on Greg's shoulder, when Nick entered.

"How's she doing?" He asked supporting Sara as the younger male CSI climbed off the bed and lowered it so she was lying down.

"She's doing fine." Sara's sleepy voice answered, slurred slightly.

"She should be sleeping." Nick teased lightly. Fixing her pillow and tucking her in.

"Did you talk to Grissom?" Sara forced her heavy eyelids open and looked up at the Texan wearily.

"He's going to come home. You're staying with me until he gets here." She closed her eyes and nodded.

"She doesn't mind staying with you." The corners of her mouth turned up slightly and allowed the exhaustion to take her over. When Nick was sure she was asleep he looked up at Greg who was checking out hydraulic bedside table.

"How did this happen?" Nick asked his friend.

"I have no idea." Greg sighed. "This has not been her week." He looked over at the baby monitor. "Hey look, the heartbeat." He pointed at the little pulsing dot on the screen. Nick smiled.

"Can you believe our Sara is having a baby?" He looked down at the woman asleep in the bed.

"It's so unreal." Greg was looking at the monitor.

"It is." Nick stood up. "Come on. We should let her sleep." Greg nodded and followed him out of the room.

Sara sat on the edge of the bed swinging her legs as she watched Nick collect her things from around the room and put them in an overnight bag. "Sit still." He ordered and she snapped her legs still.

"What are we going to do tonight?" Sara asked pulling on the threads on the blanket on her bed.

"You are on bed rest so you are going to rest." He blushed as he picked up her bra and shoved it in the bag.

"But I'll be bored. And my dog..."

"You have a dog?" Nick zipped the bag and put it over his shoulder.

"Watson." Sara informed him as Nick helped her into the wheelchair the nurse had brought into the room earlier. "I keep leaving him alone."

"Well, we can swing by your place and pick up... Watson."

"Why is that so amusing to you?" Sara asked with a smirk.

"I don't know." Nick shook his head with a laugh. "We're just learning so many new things about you. It's…cute."

"Did you just say cute?"

"Yeah, I say cute. I do have five sisters remember?"

"Oh yeah." Sara smiled. "Are you okay with having to look after me and my dog?"

"Of course Sar." He started pushing her out to the car. When they got there he gave her a hand up stowed her bag in the back. After returning the wheelchair, he got in the car. "So, I take it you remember where you live now."

"Yup." Sara said with a grin. "I'll give you directions."

"Your dog's breath is terrible Sara." Nick told her leaning around Watson who was slobbering in his ear as he drove them home. The dog looked over at Sara.

"Aww, poor baby. Did he hurt your feelings?" She took the dogs face and turned him towards her planting a kiss on his snout. "Its okay, mommy doesn't mind your breath." She caught Nick's disgusted look and smiled as Watson laid his head on her shoulder.

"Never figured you for a dog person. Sar."

"I'm an animal person. Griss and I have Watson, all of his pet bugs, and we're thinking about adopting a cat." Nick shook his head in amusement.

"So, how long have you and Grissom been together?"

"Wouldn't you like to know."

"Yeah, I would." He smiled at her. She smiled back.

"We've been together since April of 2005. We got married in May of 2006. May 12th."

"You've been married for over a year?!" She nodded and scratched behind the dog's ears.

"Congratulations."

"Thanks." Sara kisses Watson again before he dashed off to look out the back window as Nick pulled into his garage and stopped the car. Nick got out and opened the back door and got the things they had picked up from Sara's place when they got Watson.

"He isn't going to eat my furniture, is he?" Nick asked as he helped Sara into the house. She was still feeling a little sore and her body moved sluggishly.

"Do you think I've raised a heathen?" She asked as Nick put her things down in the hall and helped her to the guest bedroom. "Greg." She said surprised when she saw him standing over the bed adjusting a blanket.

"The guestroom was full of files so I asked him to tidy it up a little and change the bed sheets."

"All for me?" Sara smiled flattered as she sat down on the edge of the mattress.

"Anything for you." Greg slipped a pillow into a fabric case and put it down on the bed finishing up the chore. "There is soup on the stove, I will get you some." He left the room. Nick had already pulled Sara's pajamas out of her suitcase and put them on the bed when Greg yelped.

"Looks like he met Watson." Nick chuckled. "Get changed while I go make sure he is still alive."

"Thanks."

"If you need anything, holler."

Sara woke up to a ringing cell phone. She picked it up.

"Hello?" She said sleepily.

"Sara?" Her husband's voice came over the line.

"Hey Gil." Turning over she saw Watson on the guest room bed next to her.

"You were sleeping."

"Yeah." She laid her head back down.

"I'm sorry honey. I just wanted to call to see how you're doing."

"I'm okay." She closed her eyes and fought to stay awake. "Watson is here too. Nick let me bring him. He doesn't like his breath." Grissom smiled a little at her sleepy babbling.

"I'm trying to get home sweetheart."

"I know. Gil I'm sorry but I have to sleep." She could barely get the words out.

"Okay. I will call you back later to let you know what's happening."

"Love."

"You too." She flipped the phone shut and dropped it on the bed somewhere beside her. "Come to me." She patted the bed beside her and felt Watson's dead weight against her side as the dog laid down. He dropped his head down on her thigh and fell asleep, Sara joined him seconds later.
