Warrick walked into work with a smile on his face. He felt like he had won the lottery. He made his way in the break room to find that Greg was already there making a pot of his famous coffee.
"Hey Greggo."
Greg turned around. "Hey War. You look happy."
"Try very happy." He replied still wearing a smile.
This got the young labs attention. "Okay, you have to tell me everything. You've got a girl right?"
"Yeah, you could say that."
"I knew it! Is she hot?" Greg couldn't contain his excitement.
"Very." Warrick answered calmly.
"Are you going to tell me who she is or am I gonna have to guess?"
Warrick laughed. "You're the one who is wanting to be a CSI, so examine the evidence."
"What evidence? All you've told me was that she's hot!" Greg took a deep breath. "Okay, I can play this game. Do I know her?"
"Yes." Came his simple answer.
"Does she work here?"
"Yep."
"Wait a minute, you're not talking about Sara are you?"
"Maybe. Would that bother you?"
Greg glanced at him. "Of course it would bother me! I've spent years flirting with Sara hoping that she would fall for me, then out of nowhere Nick comes up all flirty and steals her away. Then when he breaks her heart, I could see light at the end of my tunnel thinking that somehow Sara would realize how much I care and come to me. But no! You had to go and steal her away too!"
Warrick couldn't help but laugh. "Man, you need a girl bad."
"You and Nick keep stealing them!"
Warrick just smiled and grabbed a cup of coffee. He took a sip and watched as Nick came in. "Hey man, how's it going?" Warrick asked him.
"Not bad, how about you?"
"Doing good." Warrick answered and decided to go see if Sara had come in yet. He walked out of the break room and headed toward the locker room. He saw her making her way to Grissom's office. He didn't want to bother her, so he decided to wait and talk to her when she came out.
Sara took a deep breath and stepped inside Grissom's office. "Hey Grissom, could I talk to you for a moment?"
He looked up from his paper work. "Sure Sara, shut the door."
She did and then sat down on the chair. "I have to tell you something." She began.
He stopped what he was doing and gave her his full attention. "Go on."
"I'm quitting." She informed him.
"You're what?"
"I'm moving back to San Francisco tomorrow."
Grissom took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "May I ask why?"
"It's personal. I can't tell you. I realize that this is sudden but I have no choice."
"Sara, what's going on? Does this have to do with what happened with Nick?"
"Grissom, please understand my decision. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think it was for the best."
He exhaled. "You're one of the best CSIs we've got and you come to me telling me that you are wanting to quit. I'm not stupid Sara, why don't you tell what's wrong. I can help you."
"No, you can't." She stared down at the floor and felt a tear slide down her cheek. "No one can."
Grissom stared at the woman before him. She was like a daughter to him and he hated seeing her hurt. "I have an idea. Why don't you take a leave of absence for a while and then if things don't get better, we can talk about a transfer or something."
She nodded. "Okay, I'll work tonight and start the leave tomorrow."
"You're too upset. Go ahead and start it tonight. We'll be fine." He stood up and walked her to the door. "Sara, if you need anything I'm here for you."
"Thanks Grissom." She gave him a brief smile and stepped out of his office. She didn't even notice Warrick step up beside her.
"Hey Sar." He greeted her.
She turned around and gave him a half smile. "Hey Warrick."
He knew something was wrong. He reached out and grabbed her arm. "Are you okay?"
"No, I'm not." She answered honestly. She continued to walk toward her car and Warrick followed right behind her.
"Please talk to me." He reached over and grabbed her arm. She stopped and faced him.
"I'm taking a leave of absence and I'm going away for a while."
"Why?"
"I just have to." She really didn't want to tell him. He would just think bad of her and leave. She couldn't risk his rejection.
"Sara, that's not a reason. Does this have something to do with your dizzy spells? Did you talk to a doctor?"
"I didn't need to talk to a doctor. I know what's wrong." She finally made it to her car and leaned up against the door. Warrick was now standing in front of her.
"Then tell me." His eyes were pleading with her and begging for her to let him in. She finally broke down and began crying. Warrick pulled her to him and he held her tightly. He gently rubbed her back and soothed her. He felt her pull away from him. She gave him a sad smile.
"Warrick, I just found out something today and I'm not sure how to handle it."
"We can handle it together. I promise."
She pulled him into another hug and held on tightly. She gathered all her nerve and pulled away. "Warrick, I'm pregnant."
