Chapter Fourteen: Grissom, Anger, and Babies
Grissom and Sara just stared at each other for a few minutes. "Gris, you should go." She didn't know what else to say, and it was killing her to see him broken. She could feel the tears build up in her eyes.
Kyle walked over to her and wrapped his arm around his little sister. He didn't want her to get even more upset than she already was. "Look Mister Grissom, I really thing you should leave now." He let go a Sara for a moment and walked him to the door.
Grissom pushed Kyle to the side and turned back to Sara. "Sara…I…"
Walking over to him, Sara smiled sweetly at him. "I know." She took his hand in hers. Squeezing it she continued, "Gris, I know, me too. Alright, I know."
The rest of the ceremony went off without a hitch. Only later that night, once she and Nick were alone, Sara did tell him what happened with Grissom. He wasn't that amused but was glad she had told him. They said they would put it all behind them and move forward into their new life, and they did, for awhile.

"There how's that?" Nick asked, as he stepped back from the wall. He had just put up a shelf.
"Looks good." Sara rocked in the glider chair Kyle bought for them, while rubbing her bump.
"Good!" Nick went to Sara, and gave her a kiss. "You know what would look good on that wall." He pointed to one of the bare walls.
"What?"
"A mural." He smiled at her. "Maybe a football one." Nick stood up, and walked over to the way. He laid everything out for her. Then turned back to her. "What do you think?"
"Well it sounds okay, for boys; but what if we have girls?" Sara sarcastically inquired.
"Not going to happen, they are both boys, you'll see today at the ultra sound." Nick walked back over to her. "I think one of the middle names should be Ryan, and the other Kyle." He ran his hands over her bump, and placed two small kisses on it.
Sara just shook her head.
"Your mommy is silly isn't she? She could've found your daddy is right, out long before now" Nick placed more kisses on her bump.
"Maybe mommy didn't want to find out yet." Sara pushed Nick away a bit, and got up. "I'm going to go lie down." She left the room holding her back.
Later that day Sara was on the table having the ultrasound. Nick could hardly contain his excitement. He was desperate to find out what they were going to have. "Nick, will you stand still."
"Sorry Gorgeous." He gave her a quick kiss on the hand.
Turning his attention to the technician, "So do you know what they are?"
"Umm…It's hard to get a good look at this angle, but from what I can see, I would say boys." The tech turned and smiled at the happy parents.
"Boys, are you sure?" Nick asked, with a smile spread across his face.
"I'm ninety seven percent sure." The tech finished up, and gave Sara some tissues to clean up the gel off with.
Once she was all cleaned off, Nick helped her up and they both left. "You hungry? Lets go get something to eat, and celebrate. Oh my mom is going to be thrilled."
"Nick, no, I just want to go home and lay down." Sara sighed as the walked out of the hospital.
"Fine." Nick helped her walk to the car, and get in.
A couple days later Nick arrived home from work and stood outside the bedroom, and listened as Sara talked to someone on the phone. He hadn't meant to, however when he heard her laughing, it made him stop. She had been so unhappy lately, and nothing he seemed to do was making her happy again. He had even had Kyle come over and try to talk to her, and it didn't work. Even having Warrick, Catherine, and Greg call her, hadn't worked. He moved closer along the wall and listened for more clues.
"That's great, I'm happy for you…Yeah, Nick's doing well." Sara laughed, as she rubbed her swollen stomach. "Babies are fine…a couple days ago the tech said, she was ninety seven percent sure that they both are boys…no, they are identical…yeah we do…They are Jason Ryan and Raymond Kyle…thanks…yes…I…I would have to talk to Nick about that…can you blame him…I'll talk to him for you." Sara smiled and looked up at the doorway. She thought for a moment she saw a shadow. "I better go, Nick should be home soon and…Grissom, it's not like that...no…I haven't told him yet…he wouldn't understand…yeah, well I'll talk to you later...yes, I promise…hmm…goodbye Gris." She hung the phone up, with a smile still on her face.
Nick stepped into the doorway and glared at Sara. His eyes burned into hers, and he fumed with anger. He wondered how long it had been going on, how long she had been talking to the man who tried to ruin, them. Grinding his teeth he walked over to her. "Grissom? You were talking to Grissom, why," he demanded.
"Nick…" Sara touched his arm softly.
"Don't!" He pulled is arm away from her touch. He walked away from the bed slightly, and turned back to her. "How long has this been going on? Wait, I'm not sure if I want to know."
"I can't believe you were eavesdropping on me?" Sara slid out of the bed, and went to walk to the bathroom, but was stopped by Nick.
"I wouldn't have to if you would talk to me! My god Sara, are you regretting being with me? Do you want to go back to Vegas, back to him? I can't seem to make you happy. In fact nobody can, but him; him, the man who tried to break us up! How could you?" He was yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Nick please, he's my friend."
Nick started to laugh, "Your friend? He's your friend? Please Sara!" Rolling his eyes, he stepped closer to her.
"What?" Sara folded her arms in front of her the best she could. "Damn it Nick, Grissom was my friend long before we even meet. Sure he made mistakes, and was a complete ass, and he did things out of desperation. He knows that, and he's sorry for that. He's changed, well he's back to the same Grissom, that I…" She looked away from him, as she trailed off.
"That you, what?"
"Nothing, forget it." Sara went to walk pass him, but he grabbed her arm.
"Forget it? Forget what Sara, what were you going to say?" Nick unknowingly, was squeezing her arm to tight.
Sara started to cry a bit and attempted to try and pull her arm away. "Nick, you're hurting me."
"I'm hurting you!" Pulling her arm so she was closer to him, he yelled at her. "Finish what you were going to say! Grissom is back to the same Grissom, you what!"
"Please Nick, please let go." Sara had tears streaming down her face.
"Tell me, he's what?"
"Fine!" Sara tried to catch her breath. "You want to know then I'll tell you. He back to the same Grissom, which I fell in love with." She looked angrily at him.
Nick released Sara's arm, and was in shock. He watched as she turned, and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. He shook his head, and walked to the door. Finding it was locked, he started to bang on it. "Sara, open the door! Open it!"
Sara sat down on the edge of the tub crying, while she rubbed her arm. She had never seen Nick that angry. 'Why can't he just understand?' Tears streamed harder down her face, as she heard him yelling from the other side of the door. "It's alright little ones, daddy isn't normally like this; he's just scared mommy doesn't love him."
Nick paced the bedroom, wildly. "Sara, get out here!" He was becoming impatient. "Fine, you don't want me here anymore; then I'll go." He grabbed the hand set to the phone. "Here!" He threw the phone across the room. It smashed in pieces against the bathroom door. "There call your boyfriend and let him know you are a free woman!"
Nick went down stairs. He didn't know what to do; he was crazy with anger, and hurt. Opening the fridge he pulled out a beer. He placed it on the counter and took a seat at the breakfast bar. Debating on whether or not to open it, he let the tears fall from his eyes.
Sara slowly walked out of the bathroom door. She still was shaking from Nick's blow up at her. Knowing the stress wasn't good on her or the babies she laid down in the bed, and tried to get comfortable. She placed her hand on her stomach, and sang a lullaby to them. The same one Kyle use to sing to her many years ago.
The ringing of the phone brought Nick out of his painful state. Walking over to the phone desk, he picked it up. "Hello."
"Hey son…what wrong it sounds like you've been crying. Oh dear is something wrong with Sara or the babies?"
"No mom, nothing like that." Nick wiped his eyes.
"Then what is it?" Jillian listened to her son sob. "Nick, please or I will be on the next plane there."
"I came home, and she…she was on the phone. She was talking to Grissom. She was laughing with him. I haven't been able to get her to smile, and he got her to laugh." Nick walked into the family room and sat down in the chair. "She said they are friends. Can you believe that, after all he did to us, she still conceders him a friend?"
"Nick, she loves you."
"Yeah, that's what I thought, but she…she said that Grissom is acting like the man she fell in love with."
"Nick, who was the fist women you loved?"
"What are you getting at?"
"Just answer the question."
"Rianne Pearson." Nick thought back to her, and smiled.
"Do you remember why you two broke up?"
"Yeah she…" Nick stopped. "She cheated on me with, Ron."
"And you two still talk and email, don't you. It took time, but you forgave her."
"That was different mom. I told Sara about Rianne. I don't know how long this has been going on. How do I know she won't leave me for him? I can't lose her, and my boys."
"Son, how many times has she had the opportunity to leave, and she decided to stay?"
"She could've left at any time." Nick started to feel really guilty about the way he treated her. "I think I hurt her. I grabbed her arm, and threw the phone at the door. The man just makes me so angry. I wish he would leave us alone."
"You what? Did I raise you like that? You feel threatened by a man that much, you harm the mother of you children. You fear him, so you hurt her. Nicholas, you are not my son I thought you were, how could you do that? You have to let this go, if she wants to be friends with this man, then you will have to live with it. Sara is in love with you, she married you, she is having your sons any day now. If I didn't know better, I would say you didn't trust her."
"You're right, I know she loves me. I'm just so scared of losing her." Nick closed his eyes tight. "I do trust her. Mom, I need to go make things right. I love you and thanks."
"I love you to son, and you call me when my new grandsons are on their way into this world."
"Will do; bye mom."
"Goodbye Nick."
Nick placed the phone back, and went up to see his wife. "Sara?" He made his way over to the bed, and laid down next to her. "Hey," rubbing her cheek, he spoke softly to her. "I know it doesn't make things right, but I'm so sorry." He moved closer to her. Pulling up the sleeve of her shirt, he saw slight bruises. "God Sara, I swear Gorgeous, I didn't mean too." Tears fell from him eyes, as he placed kisses on cheek.
Sara opened her eyes and looked at her husband. She couldn't believe what she had decided to do; she only hoped she wouldn't regret it. "You need help Nick. I…I won't live like my mother did. My children won't go through the hell I did."
"You going to leave me?"
"I should. I should make you move out, and never come near me or the babies." She looked in his sad eyes, "But I won't, as long as you go get help. Talk to a shrink or something."
"I promise." He kissed her deeply.
"And Nick," she pulled away. "If you ever do that again, I will leave."
"It won't."
May
A couple weeks later, Nick arrived home from an appointment with department's consoler, to find Sara sitting on the porch swing. Not bothering to put the car in the garage, he got out of the car and walked onto the porch. "Hey, aren't you supposed to be in bed?"
"We need to go to the hospital." Sara explained to him and got up.
Nick helped Sara into the car then ran to the house, opened the door, and grabbed the bags and car seats for the babies. Once everything was in the car, he took off. "You doing alright? Not into much pain?"
"No, the pain isn't that bad."
Several hours later Sara and Nick were in the operating room, just incase she needed an emergency caesarian section. She squeezed Nick's hand, as the doctor told her to give one more push. A few seconds later she had one of her babies lying on her chest. The baby was taken away to get cleaned and so the second baby could be born. Four minutes later she and Nick welcomed the second newest baby into their family.
Two hours later, Nick sat on the bed next to Sara, each holding one to the twins. "They are beautiful, aren't they?" She looked at both her little ones then to Nick.
"Yes, they are." Nick looked between Sara and the babies. "They look like their mommy."
