Nick put the phone down, and then moved to sit on the bed next to Sara, who was yet to say anything after hearing Greg's news about her innocence. She had gone through so much in the past few hours, let alone the past few weeks, months and years that she now didn't know what to do. Tears continued to fall down her face, but she made no attempt to stop them, or to even move, it was like she was frozen.

Catherine was sat just behind her, arms loosely around her, trying to offer support. 'Sara?' Nick whispered, almost scared to how she would act and behave now. 'Sara? Talk to us…'

At last Sara turned her head, so it was at once both leaning against Catherin's shoulder, and so she was looking at Nick 'What happens now?' Sara choked out, her mind still all over the place. Catherine pulled her a little closer, and looked at Nick, a quick and silent conversation taking place between them. Catherine was the first to speak 'We get you help…whatever it takes…the hospital for the baby… therapy and rehab for you… we'll help you through this Sara… whatever it takes…'

Sara tried to protest, to pull herself from Catherine's arms once more, but this only made Catherine hold her closer, whilst Nick edged closer too, placing his hand on Sara's leg.

'No…No, I don't need therapy… please… don't…'

'You do Sara…you do….' Catherine and Nick said at the same time.

Sara kept trying to protest 'Please… I can't…I can't… please…'

'Sara… Sweetie… You have too, you've been hurting for far too long, and you need someone to help you…someone to help you and this baby…' Catherine said softly, moving to place her hand on Sara's stomach. Instead of calming Sara down like she had hoped, this only made Sara angrier, which in Catherine's mind, only proved the need for professional help and intervention more.

Sara wrenched herself from the grips of both people 'I don't want help!' she screamed and began to pace the room, unsure where to go from here. Nick and Catherine just watched her, unsure what to say or do to make the situation better, and neither of them wanted to make it worse.

Sara paced for a few more moments, and then stopped, turning to them both, her eyes pointed to the floor 'I'm scared…' she choked out 'I'm really scared… I don't even know if I want this…' she raised her arm to her stomach 'After Rose… after last year…' she swallowed, and turned away again, almost in shame. 'I didn't know what I wanted… what I was going to do.. after last time… I just… I don't know… I couldn't bring myself to make a decision… I tried to ignore it for a while… I was trying to figure it all out… but then…' With this, Sara sank to the floor, although her body language still screamed to be left alone. 'But then… well then, the lab was blown up… and the decision was taken out of my hands….'

'Yes she did!' Mr Hornby screamed 'She killed my wife, but I knew you would protect her, so I had to do something to make sure she paid!'

Brass slammed his hands down on the table once more, pushing the photo of Rose's body closer to him 'No…No, it was an accident, caused by her…' she slammed his finger on to the picture '…stupidity! She drugged my friend with the wrong thing, took advantage of my friend, robed, and rapped, my friend, and then passed out all because of some stupid vendetta against you, and for dosing my friend with insulin, which meant she didn't have any for herself when she needed it. She could have killed Sara, but Sara didn't kill her, your wife's death was an accident, a bad, self-inflicted accident. But, but you, coming in here, pressing false charges against someone in law enforcement, someone who I, and the rest of the department care a lot about, was deliberate, intentional and malicious, and for that, Mr Hornby, you are under arrest for obstruction of justice, and whatever else I can find to charge you with!' By now, Brass was so loud, his face flushed with anger, his heart rate beating so fast, he was not only leaning on the table to intimate, but also to keep himself upright. 'Get him out of here!' he directed to the uniformed officer in the room, who had had the sense to not interrupt the older man's shouting speech.

Once again Sara began to sob uncontrollably, her arms wrapped tightly around her legs, she rocked back and forth a little, her eyes shut, and through the sobs, she began to hum a little. Nicks eyes flitted between Sara and Catherine, unsure what to say or do. He had quickly realised that Catherine had known about the previous pregnancy that had ended with the unfortunate explosion, her saw the guilt plastered over her face, the tenseness of the older woman's body, the silent tears, and he saw Sara hunched over herself, trying to close off from the world around her. So he sat there, unmoving, in silence, afraid to make things worse, and once again unsure on how to make anything better. Catherine opened her mouth to speak a few times, but couldn't find the right words, so after a few moments of trying, she had turned her back, and lay back down on the bed, hiding herself under the covers, hiding herself away from the situation, wishing and hoping she could undo the past 2 days, the past year.

Sara continued to hum, Catherine tried her best to ignore it, and Nick just sat between the two. Time passed, and other than the quiet humming from Sara, and old and traditional lullaby, no sounds were made. After a while, Nicks phone rang again, but her quickly rejected the call without even looking at who was trying to reach him, he didn't want to disturb the room, but, he hadn't been quick enough. Catherine stirred slightly, almost rolling over at the noise, she hadn't been asleep, but she had come close. Sara had stopped her humming, blinked a few times, and stretched.

Silently, she stood, walked over to the bed, and without a word, she pushed the covers back, slid into the bed, and spooned herself around Catherine's back, and then looked at Nick, her eyes asking him to join them in the bed. Nick thought about it for a moment, turned his phone to silent, then slipped under the covers, Sara now sandwiched between them. He put his arm around her, his fingertips brushing lightly on Catherine's waist, and even though there was a lot still to talk about, they all quickly drifted off to sleep.

Sara shifted a little in her sleep, she felt warm and safe, something she hadn't really felt in a long time, and she cursed the headache that was still pounding in her head, shifting again, her eyes shot open, as she registered where she was, and who she was with. She could feel Nick pressed up against her back, and something pressed against the top of her thighs. She smiled a little, and then deliberately moved again, wanting to see if she really felt what she thought she did. Smiling again, she contemplated rolling over and waking Nick up with a kiss, the hormones for her pregnancy causing her to throw logic and reasoning out of the window. Instead, she started to move her hand in a light pattern against Catherine's stomach, wanting to test the waters a little. She felt Catherine's stomach tense a little, heard a quiet moan escape the blondes lips, and her smile and her lust only increased. With that, her mind was made up, consequences damned, she figured she'd already lost her job, so didn't care about the fallout this may cause. Raising her head a little, she pulled Catherine a little closer, and started to place gentle kisses on the women's neck, her fingers still caressing her stomach, whilst she pushed her hips back a little, pushing herself closer into Nick.

Nicks response was almost immediate, almost primal, his body reacting to the body next to his, his mind not fully realising where he was, and who he was with. He began to place kisses along Sara's shoulders, which only made her move more, a new intensity in her actions. Hand still caressing Catherine, she inched her hand lower, pressing firmly, and with this Catherine began to stir. She knew immediately where she was, who she was with, she could feel Sara's hand travelling south, Nicks fingers still resting lightly on her hip, and was about to pull herself away, when she felt Sara moan in the her neck, a thrust from Nick having meant the Sara herself was pushed further in her.

Throwing caution to the wind, Catherine realised she needed this do, having had been interrupted before, she realised her body was still tense, and that anything else could be dealt with later. They were all adults, and the past few hours had really taken a toll on her. Right now, she needed a release, any fall out could be dealt with later. She pushed herself back against Sara, now fully awake, and took Sara's hand, guiding it lower, before releasing it, and moving her hand backwards, over Sara, to rest on Nick's hip, trying to pull him closer. It was this action that bought Nick fully to his senses. He paused in his actions, and started to pull away, 'Don't stop…' Catherine and Sara gasped out at the same time.
