Sara woke up around three that afternoon feeling very sick. She quickly rushed to the bathroom and emptied all the contents of her breakfast. She totally felt like shit. She washed her mouth out at the sink and dried her face. She tried to go back to sleep but she couldn't. A few minutes later, she was back in the bathroom throwing up again. She gave up on sleep all together. So she went into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. She drank the entire glass in one huge gulp, so she poured another. She walked into her living room and sat down on the couch. She grabbed the remote and flipped on the tube. After channel surfing several times, she happened to land on TLC where they just happened to be showing A Baby Story. Sara found herself engrossed with the show. Not because she loved babies, but because she had a very bad feeling that she was pregnant. "Oh God, what if I am?" She asked aloud.
The phone ringing shook her out of the trance she was in. She slowly reached over and answered. "Hello?"
"Hey Sara, it's Nick."
She cleared her throat. "Oh hey. What's going on?"
"I was just calling to make sure we were still on for tonight."
She heard him but her thoughts kept going back to thinking she might be pregnant. "Sara, Sara, are you still with me?"
"Um, yeah. I'm here."
"Well?"
"Sure, where do you want to meet?" She unconsciously moved her hand to her stomach.
"How about Red's Drive In?"
"That sounds great. What time?"
"I was thinking six. That way we could have some time to sit back and talk for a while before shift."
"Okay, I'll see you then." She hung up the phone and sat it down on the table. She couldn't stand the suspense any longer. She got up, changed clothes, and grabbed her car keys. She soon found herself standing in a store buying a pregnancy test. She really didn't remember driving home but she made it safely.
She rushed in her bathroom and took the test. She couldn't stand there and wait, so she walked into the kitchen and began pacing around. "What if it's positive? What am I going to do?" She kept asking herself. As soon as it was time to check the test, she made her way back in the bathroom. She carefully picked it up and looked at the results. One line, she had read, meant she wasn't. Two lines meant she was.
Two lines seemed to be staring right back at her and Sara's world as she knew it came to sudden hault.

Sara drove to Red's Drive In with one thing on her mind. Being pregnant with Nick's child. "Why is this happening to me?" She asked. She felt hot tears travel down her face. She knew that Nick had the right to know, but she couldn't tell him. And Warrick, everything she was beginning to feel for him would soon be shattered because of the baby. "He's not going to want me around if he finds out. Besides it's not fair to him." She pulled in the parking lot of the drive in and noticed that Nick's car was already there. She quickly wiped away her tears and checked her eyes. They were red and she thought of a lie to tell Nick about them. She got out of her car and took a deep breath. She walked inside and found him sitting in a booth.
Nick glanced up and noticed Sara heading toward him. He gave her his sexist grin as she sat down. He instantly noticed her eyes were red. "What's wrong Sara?"
"Nothing, its just allergies. I'm fine." She recited knowing that he wouldn't argue about allergies.
"They're pretty bad, huh?"
"Today they are." She needed to switch subjects. "So, how was your day?"
"Not bad. I slept most of it. What about you? How was your breakfast with Warrick?"
"It was fine. We ate and then he left." She wasn't about to mention the kiss she gave him.
"I'm glad you had fun."
She nodded and soon the waitress came and took their order. After she left, Sara took a drink of her water. She hoped that the food she ordered would stay down. She hated throwing up and unfortunately for her, it was only beginning.
"I was thinking about us today." Nick began saying.
"What about us?"
"I miss you. I miss our talks and how we used to spend so much time together." Nick looked directly in her eyes. "Do you?"
"Sometimes."
He reached out and held her hand. "Sara, please give me another chance. I promise I will never hurt you again."
She quickly removed her hand from his. "I can't. We can't. Nick, I've forgiven you, but that doesn't mean we can just pick up where we left off. How many times do I have to tell you that?"
"Sara."
She held her hand up. "No, I'm sorry. I don't know how to make you understand that we're just friends now. I realize you want more, but I can't give you that. You haven't earned my trust back and you shouldn't expect me to in just a week." She could feel herself begin to get upset and soon her head began to spin. 'Please not here.' She reached up and held her head in her hands.
"Sara, are you sure you're okay?" Nick was beginning to become worried. She didn't answer him, so he got up and sat down next to her. He gently wrapped his arms around her. "Honey, can you hear me?"
Sara felt his arms around her and for a brief moment, she forgot everything that had happened in the past week. She wished more than anything to go back to before that day. 'If wishes were trees.' She thought and forced herself to pull away from Nick. "Thanks. I just got dizzy that's all."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." Their waitress came over and brought their food. Nick moved back over to his side of the booth and soon both were eating. After dinner, Nick and Sara walked to her car. They stood there for a few moments not saying anything until Nick broke the silence.
"Thanks for having dinner with me."
"You're welcome. I meant what I said earlier. We're still friends and I don't mind having dinner with you from time to time."
"I guess I can settle on being your friend." Nick said and leaned down and kissed her cheek. He pulled back and told her good-bye. Sara watched him leave and felt sadness creep over her entire body. 'I can't stay here. I have to leave.' She drove to work with thinking this would be her last night at CSI.
