What I Should Have Said Chapter 8
Disclaimer: Same as always. I have decided I still want George, especially topless. LOL.
AN: Again, I am having so much fun writing this. Knowing me I will probably finish it up today or tomorrow. I have decided that it will be a total of 10 chapters. But don't worry I've already got another story brewing. It will also be a Nick and Sara ship story, because let's face it there aren't enough stories like that. Everyone who has reviewed, I love you all. You have made me want to get up and write another chapter, just so I can get the reviews. Thanks again everyone for supporting me, I can't even express how much I appreciate it.
Another note, I plan on introducing the families. I just checked the official CSI website and wasn't told anyone's names, so obviously I'm making them up. If they have ever been mentioned in episodes, please feel free to tell me, so that I can put the proper names in, otherwise I'm just going with the flow.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sara and Nick awoke to a pounding on Nick's front door. They both grudgingly got up and quickly dressed. Sara threw on Nick's shirt, leaving him topless, and Nick putting on his jeans.
"I'm gonna start some coffee" Sara said and headed to the kitchen. Nick nodded and headed to the front door where the pounding became incessant.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, quit pounding already."
Nick threw the front door open ready to be yelling at someone, but never expected to be greeted by the two people who were knocking.
"Mom!? Dad!? What are you doing here?"
*~*~*~*~*~*
At Sara's apartment
Mr. and Mrs. Siddle knocked impatiently on their only child's apartment door.
"Her car is here, but where is she?" Mrs. Siddle asked, exasperated.
"I don't know dear. Why don't we just think, where would she be?"
"Well, isn't she really good friends with someone by the name of Nick?"
"Yeah, I remember her mentioning him a few times. She said they lived like five minutes from each other." Mr. Siddle answered
"Well, she could be with him right now, getting coffee or something"
The two headed back to their rental car, when suddenly Mrs. Siddle grabbed her husbands cell phone.
"Dear, what are you doing?"
"I just remembered, you have Sara's cell phone saved into your address book. We can just call her cell."
Mrs. Siddle dialed the phone number and waited patiently for the phone to connect and ring.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Don't you remember Nick, we told you we were coming to Vegas this week." Mr. Stokes stated, but gathering by the look on his son's face he added "You forgot didn't you"
"Yeah, I did. I'm sorry."
Before either party could say anything else a cell phone started ringing
*~*~*~*~*
From the kitchen Sara could hear Nick talking to someone but she couldn't make out the conversation. She finished with the coffee and was about to pour some when she heard her cell phone ring.
"Crap, coffee will have to wait"
Sara walked out into the living room and came face to face with Nick's parents. Sara stopped, completely stunned that they were there. Nick ran over and quickly grabbed her cell phone and tossed it to her. She shook herself out of her stupor and answered.
"Hello"
"Sara, honey its mom"
"Mom.Hi.How are you doing?"
"Is this a good time sweetie?"
"Um.uhh.well.not really, but what did you want?"
"Well sweetie, were in town and we wanted you to join us for an early dinner before you have to go into work."
"WHAT!!!" Sara exclaimed "Your in town, when did you come into town?"
"Sara, honey don't yell in my ear. We just got into town today. Remember I told you this in the messages I've left for you and your email. Let me guess you didn't check them."
"Are you on dad's cell?"
"Yeah"
"I'll call you back" without waiting for the reply Sara hung up the call.
During the time she was on the phone, Nick's parents entered the apartment and the door was closed behind them.
"Sara, you okay?"
"Yeah, just surprised to see your parents standing at your front door and my parents calling to say there in town."
Before Nick could say anything, Sara went pale and put her hand over her mouth "Oh god, I'm gonna be sick" and with that she ran to his bathroom and threw up. After a couple of minutes Nick went to check on her, leaving his parents in bewilderment. While they were gone a cell phone rang, not knowing whose was whose, Nick's mother answered.
"Hello"
"Hello, is this Sara's phone?"
"Yes, it is. I'm sorry I thought I was answering my son's phone." Mrs. Stokes replied
"Well, is Sara there?" Mrs. Siddle asked quite surprised
"She's in the bathroom right now."
"Where is she?"
"Oh, she's at my son, Nick's, apartment"
"Nick, as in her coworker Nick?" Mrs. Siddle asked
"Oh so that's Sara, Nick has talked about her before, but I haven't seen her in a few years."
"Do you mind telling me where his apartment is?"
Mrs. Stokes gave Mrs. Siddle directions to Nick's apartment. She went to the front door and saw that they pretty much pulled right into the parking lot.
'Wow, they must have been close by' she thought to herself.
She saw two people exit the vehicle and she waved to them.
"Hello"
"Hi, you must be Nick's mom" Mrs. Siddle said with an outstretched hand.
"Yes, I'm Rosemary Stokes" she motioned to her husband who had joined them outside "and this is my husband Geoffrey Stokes". Geoffrey reached his arm out and shook their hands.
"Well, I'm Alice Siddle and this is my husband William"
"It's nice to meet you both" William said
The parents moved back into the apartment just as Sara and Nick came back into the living room.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!???" Sara screamed. Sara burst into tears and grabbed Nick. He pulled her into an embrace.
"Why are they all here Nick? Why?" Sara whispered
"I don't baby, I don't know," he whispered back
"I'm gonna be sick again" Sara said and pulled herself from Nick's embrace and ran for the bathroom again. Alarmed began to go after her daughter, but was stopped when Nick reached out and grabbed her arm.
"Leave her alone" He firmly stated "Look, I know both of us forgot you guys were coming and were both sorry, but.." Nick trailed off. He looked down at the ground then back at the group of parents. He knew that they had to tell their parents. Now was as good a time as ever.
"I'm gonna go check on Sara, she made some coffee, so help yourselves, then please sit down and make yourselves comfortable."
Nick walked to the bathroom, leaving the parents to mumble to themselves.
"Sara, sweetie."
Sara looked up, completely exhausted.
"I hate this. I thought morning sickness was supposed to be in the morning."
Nick chuckled, went over and flushed the toilet, put the seat lid down and helped Sara up to sit on it. He filled the cup sitting next to the sink with water for Sara to drink.
"Here you go"
"Thanks" Sara took a swig, swished it in her mouth, leaned over the sink and spit it out.
"Do you have any mouthwash?"
"Yeah"
Nick opened the mouthwash and poured her some. Sara repeated the same process with the mouthwash.
"What you do with our parents?"
"Well, I told them to sit down, get some coffee and make themselves comfortable."
"Ugh."
"Sara, we should just tell them. Get it out of the way. I don't want you to have to worry about it. You have enough stress as it is and I know it can't be good for you or the baby"
Sara thought about what he said for a moment before responding. "I know your right, I'm just more terrified of telling my parents then I was of telling you."
Nick gave Sara his hand and they walked out of the bathroom together, ready to face their parents.
*~*~*~*~*
Nick and Sara found all the parents sitting in the living room, drinking coffee and talking politics. When the children entered the room the parents stood up.
"Sara" Nick said and pointed to his parents "these are my parents Rosemary and Geoffrey Stokes"
Sara reached out her arm and shook their hands "Hi" "Nick" Sara said and pointed to her parents "these are my parents Alice and William Siddle"
Nick did the same as Sara, shook their hands and said his hellos.
"Sara, honey are you feeling okay?" Alice asked
Sara looked at Nick. She saw encouragement, love, patience and understanding in is eyes. The most important being love.
"I'm pregnant"
The room went into silence
"And I'm the father" Nick stated
Sara didn't think it was at all possible for a room to get any quieter, but she was wrong. She even thinks she saw the parents stop breathing for a moment or two.
Suddenly the room was in an uproar. Sara's father was demanding to know what Nick was going to do. Nick's mother was crying because her youngest son was finally having a child of his own. Sara's mother ran over to her daughter and was hugging her and asking her questions a mile a minute. Nick's father began to argue with Sara's father about his son's responsibilities. Finally the chaos got to Sara and she screamed "SHUT UP!! Pregnant woman here who can't deal with the major chaos occurring right now."
The parents immediately shut up.
"Okay, listen to me very carefully, all of you." Sara paused "Daddy, I appreciate you wanting to protect me, but Nick is being perfect. He's taking care of me. He's going to be there for our baby and me. You don't need to worry." Sara paused again and looked at Nick before continuing, "Daddy, I love him. I love him so much and I am so happy right now being pregnant, with our little miracle. Please just be happy for me daddy"
Mr. Siddle stood up and walked over to Sara.
"Oh baby, I just want to protect you. I love you so much Sara." He pulled her into an embrace. "I am happy for you, so very happy"
Sara looked up at her father with tears in her eyes "Thank you daddy"
Mr. Siddle pulled away from Sara and looked at Nick.
"I love her. I do. I love her with all my heart and my soul. I'd do anything for her"
Nick's comments brought tears to Mr. Siddle's eyes. "I believe you. I believe you would do anything for my baby."
Nick and Mr. Siddle embraced in a quick hug.
Mr. and Mrs. Stokes came over to the group and began also hugging Nick and Sara. The parents stayed at the apartment for another 45 minutes before the four of them decided they would leave the kids to themselves for dinner and they would go out and get to know each other better due to them being binded through a pregnancy. Although all four parents hoped that they would be binded to each other through more than a child, but through a marriage.
