Part 13 Six months had passed and countless cases had been through the shift. Sara was working a robbery/homicide with Catherine. It was gory. The overwhelming stench of blood and the sight of human remains smeared on the walls and floor was enough to make anyone lose their stomach. After they had gathered the evidence that they needed the bodies or parts of the bodies were taken to the coroners. No windows or doors could be opened until the scene was cleared. " Who ever is responsible for this is sick. I don't think these people saw what hit them. The attacker didn't just kill them; they mutilated them and smeared them all over. At least we have the hands intact so we can identify them." " Sara, you don't look too good, are you all right?" Sara's face turned a brighter shade of green. Before she could answer Catherine had her out the door and Sara was tossing up her stomach. After she was finished Catherine handed her a glass of water. " Rinse out your mouth." " Thanks. I can't seem to shake this bug. I haven't been able to keep anything down." All of the sudden it hit Catherine like a ton of bricks. " Um, Sara, you and Nick have been married for six months right. And if I remember right you've been going for baby whenever. Is there a chance you might be pregnant?" Sara mentally counted the days since her last cycle and realized it had been awhile. She didn't think anything of it because it was normal for her to skip. " It's possible." " If you would like I can get you an emergency appointment with my OB-GYN." Catherine told her. " That would be great." " Go wait in the car and I will call Grissom and tell him we are going to take a breather." " Thanks Cat." As she watched Sara head for the car she called Grissom. " Hey Gris its Catherine, the scene is all processed and is on the way to you. Sara and I are going to take a breather. The scene was a little much. You will understand once you see the pictures." "Go ahead and take a couple of hours. We'll page you if something comes up. " " Thanks, see you later." Catherine walked to the car and got in and told her that her appointment was in 20 minutes. They drove across town to where the doctor's office was and went in to see a perky twenty-something behind the counter. " Hello Ms. Willows, did you have an appointment?" "No, I'm here with Sara Stokes. I just called in for an emergency appointment." "That's right. Mrs. Stokes I just need you to fill out some forms. Go a head and have a seat and Gail will be with be with you shortly. Nick, Warrick and Greg were in the lab linking together the evidence from the scene that Catherine and Sara had left. " Why do they get all the good crime scenes? I mean look at these pictures, blood everywhere, puddles of it. This should definitely go in the book of gore. The smell alone had to be bad." " That's why they got it. We men have weaker stomachs." Warrick stated. " I'm not ashamed to admit it." He said. " So Nick, how's the married life?" Greg asked. " I love it. I get to spend my days and nights with the women I love. What else could you want?" " A baby perhaps." " We are working on that." " You are disgustingly happy aren't you? You make me sick." Warrick joked. " You just need to find the one and then you can be disgustingly happy also. " I'll be right back. Any want some coffee?" Greg asked. " Nope." They both said. After he left the room Nick said, " He is acting weird don't you think?" " He always acts weird, but I do think it is a little more weird. I wonder what's up." Warrick said. " Maybe we should take him out for a guys night out. Sara said that she wanted to get together with Catherine. Let me give her a call and see if tonight would work." " I will go find Greg." "I'm pregnant? Are you sure?" Sara asked Gail. " Positive. You are about six weeks along. Congratulations. Your approximate due date is September 1st, Labor Day. What better day to have labor then that day? Here are some pre-natal vitamins and some reading material to get you started. Also see Trisha and make an appointment. This would be a good one to bring your husband to. We will see if we can get a picture of your baby." " Thanks." Sara said as she gathered her things. " Catherine, can you maybe get a sitter for Lindsay tonight and help me with some shopping?" " Sure. I am so happy for you. Let me make a call." " I'll call Nick, well speak of the guilty." Sara said as her phone rang and Nick's name popped up on the screen. " Hey my prince." Hey my princess. Do you have plans for tonight?" He asked. " Actually I was going to see if it was all right if I go out with Catherine." " That works. Warrick and I are going to take Greg out and find out why he is acting more weird that usual." "Then I will see you later. I love you." " I love you too." " Oh and Nick don't make any plans for tomorrow night." " All right. Bye." " Everything is all set. My neighbor is going to keep Lindsay so after shift we can go. " " I need to call Greg real quick. I want need to meet him for lunch. The guys are going to interrogate him for being weirder than normal and I think I know why. " " Sure. " Sara dialed his cell and told him to meet them at the diner across the street. " I'm not telling anyone that I am pregnant until I tell Nick. I have a special way planned for telling him. That is what we are going to do tonight. " " That works. So why are we meeting Greg?" " I can't really tell you. He will though. It is something that will shock you." They headed for the diner and when they got there Greg was there and already had food and drinks ordered. " So what was the urgency?" He asked. " Nick and Warrick have noticed that you have been acting stranger than normal." " Do you think that they know about Katrina?" " Wait, who is Katrina?" Catherine asked. Greg went on to tell her about how they met and that they have been dating for the past year. "You are one sneaky person. I had no clue. But now I see Sara's point about the guys grilling you. Warrick is going to be jealous, you getting some action and all. " " He can get some action without working hard. He has a harem of women to choose from." " Just a little tidbit Greg, you might want to tell them before they figure it out." Cat told him. " I will see what they have planned. If they have no clue then I won't tell them. So what do you girls have planned for this evening?" " We are going shopping and then maybe to dinner and a movie. You know girl stuff." "Well you have fun. I will get the check on my way out." " He gets paid too much." Sara said. " Why do you say that?" " Because of all the spending he had done in the past six months." " I think that it is sweet."
