Nick and Warrick
"Hey Sar." Nick says walking into the break room. He heads for the coffee machine and leans on the counter. "Not ready yet?" He asks.
"I just turned it on." She says not taking her eyes off her book. "Gil was looking for some."
"No coffee, how has that been?" I ask her.
She lowers her book to the table top and turns her eyes to us. "It was so hard in the begining. It made me sick so that made it a bit easier, but I miss it. You two enjoy it for me. I can't wait to drink it again but it will be awhile." She smiles.
"Pregnancy looks good on you girl." I tell her as she stands.
"I feel everyone is telling me that now that they know." She says walking over to the fridge and taking a sandwich out.
"Hey why don't we take you to lunch Sar." Nick offers and I nod." Warrick and I could use a break anyways." He nudges my arm as I nod in agreement.
"Sure." She says walking to the door. "Let me tell Gil so he doesn't freak out when he can't find me."
"Pancakes or veggie burger?" I ask her.
"Pancakes." She smiles. "Meet you in the locker room.
"Where are you going?" She turns to Grissom. "You can't and shouldn't be going into the field." He tells her placing his hand on her growing bump.
"Nope, breakfast. I'm hungry and the guys need a break so we were going for pancakes." She tells him smiling.
"Have fun." He tells her kissing her head and turning to us. "Make sure she eats and drinks plenty of water. She's been a little dehydrated lately." He tells us sternly.
"Got it extra pancakes and lots of water." Nick tells him.
"We got her." I tell him, "She's our favorite sister after all." I see Sara smile at my words.
"Don't tell my sisters that they'll get mad." Nick laughs.
Sara laughs, "I promise Nicky. Your secret is safe with me. Now can we get pancakes?"
"Yes." I say as we all head out.

"Wow Sar, I don't think I've ever seen you eat so much in my life." Nick says and I hit him in the arm.
"I'm eating for me and bug, I'm starving." She tells him.
"At least you're taking good care of yourself." I tell her.
"Of course, besides, you think Gil would let me do anything but?" She smiles
"True, he seems different. Now that I know I can see how much his behavior has been different the last few weeks." Nick tells her smiling.
"Papa bear hit him hard when he found out. I already knew he was protective of me but he is protective of bug too. I love him more for it." She smiles and blushes a bit.
"And from earlier he loves you just as much." I tell her.
"He really is amazing. You wouldn't know it but he is." She says quietly.
"As long as he is good to you, loves you, and makes you happy that's all that matters to us." I nudge Nick, "Right?"
"Of course, you are our sister and we don't want you to be anything other than happy." Nick continues.
"I am, I am so happy. .I never thought I'd want this kind of life. Now, I can't imagine anything else. I'm ready for it." She smile looking at each of us. "I want to thank you both. You guys have become family to me and I can't thank you both enough. I never had a real family and the lab has become that to me and I can never forget that. I want you guys to know that you can call or come over anytime. I don't want to loose the friendship we have because I will no longer be working at the lab." She says seriously.
"You can't get rid of us that easily. You are our family just as much as we are yours. Nothing can take that away. We have all been through to much together to be anything but." I tell her reaching to take her hand.
"Besides we have to be the cool uncles if we have to compete with Greg." Nick adds in which makes her laugh.
"You all will be the best, thank you." She says squeezing my hand.
"Now let's get you back before Griss comes after us." I tell her and she laughs again.
"Okay, let's go." She says getting up.
