I don't own any of the following characters.
" You're what?!" Nick burst out with. Catherine just stared.
"Pregnant" Sara repeated again.
Catherine blinked. " Well" she said " Congratulations" She went to hug Sara.
" You'll make a great mom," Catherine said.
Nick though still shocked went too hug Sara too.
After all the congratulations were over Sara's pager went off.
" Greg has the results of those tests, " She said looking down at it. " I'll go get them and bring them back along."
Sara was halfway out the door when she turned back to them. " Oh by the way" She said " It's twins"
She stood there just long enough to see the looks on their faces before walking down the hall laughing.
She bumped into Grissom, who was carrying several boxes as she rounded the corner.
He looked at her and noticed she was smiling. But not just one of the smiles she had been putting on for the past few weeks. A real smile.
" You look pleased about something," He said to her.
" I told Nick and Catherine" She replied.
" How'd they take it?" He asked. " Did Nicky fall off his chair or was he standing up when you told him?"
" No he didn't fall off his chair" Sara said smiling.
" All you need to do now is tell Warrick." Grissom reminded her.
" Uh I'm sure Catherine and Nick will take care of that." Sara said as her pager went off again.
She said bye to Grissom went down the hall to get the results from Greg.
15 minutes later……..
Sara walked back into the break room, where Catherine, Nick and now Warrick were sitting.
Warrick met her at the door.
" Hey Sara" He said " Congratulations"
" Uh thanks" Sara replied.
Before Warrick could say anything else Sara cut in.
" Catherine the hair and skin cells that were found on the vic weren't his. So I ran them …
" Did we et a DNA match?"
Sara nodded. " You can drive"
3 hours, 5 wrong turns and three stops to ask for directions later, Catherine and Sara tromped into the break room, where Grissom was sitting drinking coffee and reading some forensic magazine.
" Any luck?" He asked putting his magazine down and sitting up straighter.
" Nope" Catherine said huffily, " The guy wasn't home." She sat down. " The jerks going to cost us a small fortune in gas."
Sara sat down too.
" We did speak to a neighbour, if you could call him that" She said.
Grissom looked at them strangely.
Catherine answered for them. " The guy was 10 minutes drive down the road."
" He had only ever spoken to the guy a few times" Sara put in. She stretched. "What time is it?"
" 10pm" Grissom told her. " You guys should go home"
" Yeah" Catherine said, " I have to pick Lindsey up"
Catherine got up to leave " You coming Sara?" She asked.
" No I…" Sara began.
" Yes you are" Grissom put in for her. He handed Sara her bag. " I'll see the two of you in the morning"
Outside Catherine offered Sara a ride home which she took as she didn't really feel like driving.
She climbed into the front passenger seat next to Catherine.
They were driving along chatting when Catherine asked the question she had been dreading anybody asking.
" So" She said " Who's the twins father?"
Sara looked down, a smile that had been on her face had faded.
" Oh" Catherine said, looking uncomfortable " You don't have to tell me if you don't want to Sara. I was just wondering."
" It's not that" Sara said looking up " It's just……." She took a deep breath. " I was raped"
" Oh Sara I'm sorry" Catherine said Stopping outside Eddies house.
" It's ok" Sara replied.
" No." Catherine said " No. It's not. If I'd had any idea I would never have asked."
" No really" Sara said, " It's ok. I actually feel better now that you know"
Catherine started the car.
" What are you doing?" Sara asked " What about Lindsey?"
" I'll call Ed. She can stay with him tonight. You're coming home with me." Catherine replied.
She drove off. They stopped at Sara's place so she could get some clothes.
The two women arrived back at Catherine's just after 11pm. After chatting till well after 1pm, they decided to go to bed.
Sara lay in Lindsey's bed and for the first time in ages she actually felt happy.
okay, now I know that was really rubbish but my friends tell me it does improve. I'm sorry it was so short but I have big exams coming up at school and things here have just been crazy.
So do you want a sara/nick or a sara/gris relationship? please review this chapter and let me know.
