What I Should Have Said Chapter 4
Disclaimer: Don't own them, don't make any money off them, but again I would seriously take George if I could.
A/N: Sorry this took so long to post. I was having a case of writers block and then I was have the internal debate of whether or not to wait until the season finale aired on Thursday. Finally I just decided to go ahead with the story and if I want to incorporate the finale in later. Also, sorry about the mix up with Catherine's suspension, I totally thought they said on TV that she was suspended for 2 weeks, but another fan fiction stated 5 days. So not sure, but anyways. Thank you all for being patient. Please review, I love reviews. On with the story.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you' the phrase kept going through Nick's mind. He was in shock that Sara had actually said that to him.
"Nick. Nick. Please say something. Come on, I've never known you to be this quiet." Sara said with a hint of amusement in her voice.
Nick got up from his seat at the couch and walked over to her balcony doors. He stood there for a few moments just staring outside and thinking. He heard Sara get up from the couch and walk over and stand next to him. When he turned to face her he had tears streaming down his face.
"Nick, what's this?" She reached up to his face and wiped his tears. He grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize for showing emotion Nick."
"I love you Sara. I love you so much that it hurts sometimes. I've never felt this way about anyone in my life."
Nick looked into Sara's eyes and saw that she had tears forming and they were threatening to spill over. He closed the miniscule distance between them by pulling her into a hug.
"I love you Nick, I love you so much" Sara mummered into his chest
"I love you too, Sara"
Sara lifted her head from his chest and looked into his chocolate brown eyes that she seemed to get lost in. She leaned into him and took his mouth to hers. The kiss was unlike anything she had every felt, even when they made love and conceived the child she was carrying. This time the kiss was full of love, acceptance and passion. As time passed the kiss grew in intensity. Nick carefully picked Sara up into his arms and carried her to the bedroom. He lowered their bodies to the bed, once laying down with her body below him he broke the kiss and looked deeply into her eyes. Sara simply nodded and reached up and pulled his head back down to hers. Their lovemaking this time around was about enjoying the feel of each other, showing each other how much the loved the other. When they finally fell asleep they were wrapped in each other's arms.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Nick woke up around ten minutes to seven. He smiled when he saw that Sara was still in bed with him, wrapped up in his arms. He watched her slow, content breathing. He couldn't believe everything that had happened in the last 24 hours. The explosion, the pregnancy, her admitting she loved him, their lovemaking. 'Sara's having my baby' he thought to himself. He slowly pulled the sheet down from around their bodies. His attention focused on her abdomen, seeing that she was in fact beginning to show in her pregnancy. He reached his arm over and put his hand on the bulge.
Sara awoke when she felt the sheets being pulled from her body and a cold draft hitting her. She then felt a hand on her abdomen, it took her a moment to realize that it was Nick's hand. She smiled when she realized what he was doing. She lifted her arm and put her hand atop Nick's. Nick jumped a little when Sara's hand touched him.
"Hey, sorry didn't mean to wake you." He said
"It's okay." She paused before continueing "It seems so weird that I would be showing already."
"Well, it really does depend on the woman. Some just show before others."
"And when did you become an expert on pregnancy, Nick Stokes?" she teased
Nick laughed, "Call it having sisters who have had children already."
They laid in bed in comfortable silence, with Nick's hand still on Sara's stomach. Finally Sara spoke up with what was on her mind.
"Nick"
"Yeah"
"Last night. You said you would support me in whatever I wanted to do."
"Yeah"
"I never got a chance to tell you that from the moment I learned I was pregnant, I knew that I would have this baby. There was never a question in my mind about not having this baby. I just wanted you to know that."
Nick moved his body so that he could face her before answering. "Thank you Sara, for everything. For loving me, for having my baby."
"Your welcome."
Nick leaned down to kiss her when they were interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone.
"Nick, it's your phone, mine doesn't ring 'take me out to the ballgame'."
Nick quickly got off the bed and searched the room for his cell phone. He found it laying underneath his pants.
"Stokes" he answered
"Nick" the voice responded
"Hey, Grissom, what can I do for you?"
"First, I wanted to see how your doing."
Nick walked back to the bed and sat down next to Sara.
"I'm doing great." He replied with a smile in his voice
"Sounds like it. Did you talk to Sara?"
"Yeah, last night."
"So everything is okay between you guys."
"Yeah, everything's great." Nick said while he looked into Sara's eyes.
"Okay, then. I'll see you tonight then. Oh and Nick, I would recommend that Sara get into her OB just to make sure everything is okay with the baby."
"I'll make sure she does, see you tonight"
With that said the two men ended the conversation.
"What did Grissom want?" Sara asked
"Wanted to see how I was doing. Also wanted to know if we had talked."
"What are you going to make sure I do?"
"Grissom suggested that you get in to see your OB to make sure everything is okay with the baby."
"Oh my God, your right."
Sara rolled over to the other side of her bed and grabbed a day planner that was on her nightstand. She flipped through the address until she came to the number she needed. She grabbed her portable from the nightstand and then dialed. The phone rang a few times before someone answered.
"Hi, this is Sara Siddle and I needed to make an appointment to see Dr. Williams as soon as possible."
Nick listened to Sara explain that she had recently been in an explosion at work and was worried about the baby.
"Hold on please" Sara pulled the phone from her ear and covered the mouth piece with her hand
"Nick, they have an appointment today at 11:30, is that okay"
Nick looked over at the clock and saw it was 8:22.
"That's fine."
Sara put the phone back to her ear and answered that she would take the 11:30 appointment. Sara hung up the phone and put it back on the hook.
"They said to be at the office a few minutes early to make sure the paperwork is correct. The nurse also told me that they will do and ultrasound."
"Okay. Well it's almost 8:30, so we better get up and eat. I want to head home and get changed. I can come back and pick you up at 11:00"
"That's fine."
Sara got out of bed and grabbed her robe. Nick grabbed his discarded clothing and put them back on. He followed Sara out to the kitchen. They ate their breakfast and enjoyed each other's company. Nick left her place at 9:30, kissing her goodbye and promising to be back by 11am. Sara watched Nick walk down the stairs and head to his Tahoe. She stood there watching him until she could no longer see him, with that she turned and went back into the apartment to begin getting ready for her day.
