What I Should Have Said

Chapter Two

Spoilers: Mentioning of Playing With Fire.

Disclaimer: Same as before, don't own them, don't make any money off them, but God knows I would take George if I could.

A/N: This is a Sara/Nick Shipper story, so Griss/Sara fans beware. To forensicsfan, starcompass, skylar and scuzmoll, you guys were awesome. I was terrified I would receive really bad reviews. You all made me feel so much better. Thank you so much. Also, if I put another song in the chapter, which I'm not sure if I will right now, I'll put it in **, since somehow the italics didn't transfer. Also, I just wanted to mention that I don't know if the actress is pregnant in real life, I've heard she is, but couldn't find any proof. This story is based off the fact that the actress looked pregnant in the episode. With that said, I don't know if someone could feasibly be showing in three, some women probably do, for the sake of my story she obviously does. Finally, I didn't see Lady Heather's Box, so I don't know what Catherine said to Sara, if anything, or she said it. So I am kind of making it up. Sorry. Okay, now on with the story.
The CSI Lab parking lot

The words Sara just said to the two of them are reverberating through their heads 'it's your, I'm pregnant with your child Nick.' Both men still stood, in the exact spot Sara left them, in confusion and shock. Suddenly Nick turns, walks to the curb and sits down. Grissom watches then follows.

"You okay Nick?" "Yeah. Ironically I'm still more worried about Sara and she went through, then what she just said." Nick paused before continuing, "Sorry Griss, I'm still in a little bit of shock." "It's completely understandable Nick." "She was right though." "About what?" Grissom asked "I didn't notice. I didn't notice she was gaining weight, that her appetite had changed, that she was pulling away becoming distant. I just.I don't know." "If it makes you feel any better Nick, I didn't notice either. I believe a part of Sara wanted us to notice these changes, but the other part wanted to hide and cover them up."

The two men sat in silence, contemplating what had just transpired. Finally Nick broke the silence.

"Grissom, I want you to know I will take responsibility. Whatever Sara chooses to do, I will support her. I don't want you to think that I'll leave her to do this on her own." "I know you wouldn't Nick. You're a good man." Grissom paused "Nick I don't want to pressure you, but you and Sara really need to talk and I believe the sooner it's done the better." With that said Grissom stood up and left.

Nick stayed sitting for a while longer before getting up and heading inside the building. He headed for the locker room and grabbed his stuff. He knew Grissom was right. Sara and he needed to talk.

When Sara got back to her apartment she decided to take a long, hot, bubble bath. She generally took showers, but she knew the bubble bath would calm her nerves and help her to relax. She pressed play on her CD player and got in the tub. When the song came on her mind went back to the night, three months ago, when her life changed.

**If I had just one tear running down your cheek. Maybe I could cope. Maybe I'd get some sleep. If I had just one moment at your expense. Maybe all my misery would be well spent.**
She had just wrapped the case of Eddie's murder. Catherine was upset with her and the way things turned out. She felt horrible. Nick had come into the locker room and saw her crying. She never cried, let alone in a room where someone could feasibly see her. Nick, being one of the kindest men she ever knew, came over and hugged her.
**Could you cry a little. Lie just a little. Pretend your feeling a little more pain. I gave now I'm wanting. Something in return. So cry just a little for me.**

Nick held her for a while before asking if she was okay to drive home. When she didn't respond, he told her he would drive her home. He grabbed her stuff from her locker for her, went to his and grabbed his stuff. He then put his arm around her shoulders and led her out of the building. Once in the car and heading out of the parking lot, she whispered that she didn't want to go home and be alone. Nick nodded and headed to his place. Once there, Sara put her stuff near the front door while Nick went to get her something to drink. She took the water he handed her and thanked him. Before she knew what was happening she was crying again. Nick took the glass from her and laid it down on an end table and led her to the couch. He held her until she finished crying. When she finished, she looked into his chocolate brown eyes and was surprised to see love radiating from them. She then leaned in and kissed him, fully and passionately.

**If your love could be caged, honey I would hold the key. And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me. And you'd hunt those lies. They'd be all you'd ever find. And that'd be all you'd have to know for me to be fine.**

Nick was surprised that she was kissing him, but he responded fully. When they finally pulled apart, Nick stated that they should get some much- needed sleep. She told him that he was what she needed right now. She pulled his head towards hers and kissed him again, this time with more force and more passion. She allowed her mouth to open so their tongues could probe each other. He moved from her mouth and began trailing kisses down her neck. She began begging him to continue. The next thing she knew was Nick putting her in his arms, standing up and heading towards his bedroom.

**Could you cry a little. Lie just a little. Pretend your feeling a little more pain. I gave now I'm wanting. Something in return. So cry just a little for me.**

Once inside the room, Nick gently laid her on the bed and slowly began removing her clothing. She found it to be the most sensual experience she had yet this far. He was worshipping her body, with his eyes, with his mouth, with his touches and caresses. He quickly undressed himself and when their lovemaking commenced Sara had tears in her eyes. This time they weren't for the day she had and the disappointment she felt by letting Catherine down, they were for the unconditional love she was receiving from Nick and the love that was buried in her heart that was now boiling to the surface.

**Give it up baby. I hear your doing fine. Nothings gonna save me. 'Til I see it in your eyes. Some kind of heartache honey. Give it a try. I don't want pity. I just want what is mine.**

She woke up at 2pm, with Nick's strong arms around her, but with a feeling of complete dismay that she had just slept with one of her best friends, her coworker. She quietly got out of bed, quickly dressed and called a cab to get her. Before leaving she analyzed Nick. He really was a beautiful man with a heart of gold. She heard a car pull up and horn honk, she kissed him quickly on the cheek and ran out of the apartment.

**Could you cry a little. Lie just a little. Pretend your feeling a little more pain. I gave now I'm wanting. Something in return. So cry just a little for me. Cry just a little for me. Could you cry just a little for me.**

She felt so ashamed with what she had done. Nick never mentioned it but she could see the hurt in his eyes. When she discovered she was pregnant she felt like it was just a bad dream. She tried to deny it and live her daily life, work, and friends. The explosion was what brought her back to reality. She was terrified that she would lose her baby. She had spent the three months pretending she wasn't pregnant, but when the explosion happened, the reality of being pregnant came crashing back to her.

Knock Knock

Sara sighed and yelled "Hold on a second, be right there." She quickly got out of the tub, dried off and put her robe on. She went to the front door and looked through the peephole.

"Oh my god, what is he doing here?" she whispered "Sara, please let me in. We really need to talk." The person on the other side replied

She opened the door slowly and her brown eyes came face to face with Nick's.

A/N Okay, hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Song was "Cry" by Faith Hill from her new CD also titled Cry. Please review. I love reviews. I live for the reviews. To forensicsfan, I hope I gave you enough Nick and Grissom, if not let me know. I'll try to get another chapter out later today. Brianna.
