****Chapter 9****
Four weeks later, Grissom bounded through the front door and hugged Sara, who was sitting on the couch. She giggled as he hugged her tighter. "What's got into you?"
Grissom pulled back and picked her. "Time to see Ted and then we go somewhere special." He said, sitting her gently into her chair.
"Really? I didn't know I had an appointment." Sara looked around and watched as Grissom rushed into the bedroom and came out ten minutes later with fresh clothes. She smiled at him and shook her head. "So?"
He chuckled. "Ted rang me at work and asked to see you. Don't worry, all good, now come on."
********
Sara sat on the bed, waiting for Ted. Grissom was grinning like a Cheshire Cat. She looked at him funnily and giggled. "What's up with you?" She asked, stretching out her left leg slowly.
Grissom stood from his chair and gently rubbed her leg. "I'm excited." He said simply.
She looked at him curiously. "Do you know why he wants to see me?"
He nodded and tickled her foot, making Sara laugh and pull her foot away from him slightly. Grissom sat on the bed beside her and kissed her lips. "I know what Ted's going to say." He whispered.
"Tell me." Sara whined.
Grissom shook his head and turned to the door as it open. Ted smiled hugely at the couple. "I have great news." He announced.
Sara sighed and smiled, holding onto her husbands hand tightly. "Come on, tell me."
Ted looked at her amused and sat on his desk. "I got your tests back and I am happy to tell you that your pregnant."
Sara's jaw literally dropped.
Grissom clasped his hands around hers and laughed. "This is great."
Sara looked at Ted confused. "But." She couldn't say anything else. She was too shocked.
Ted smiled. "It's ok Sara. The tests we ran did show the possibility that you couldn't have children, but in some cases it's been known and your one of the lucky couples."
Sara pulled on Grissom's hand and he turned to her with a huge smile. Sara smile briefly, but then whispered in her ear. "We've done it once since the accident Gil."
"It's all it takes honey." He whispered back and kissed her cheek.
********
Sara was still in shock when they got home. She sat on the bed with complete puzzlement. They'd been trying for a few years and nothing happened. They nearly gave up after the accident, they spend one night and it's changed their lives. If Sara hadn't been able to move both legs and start to feel the tingling and all the pins the doctor stuck in her, then this baby wouldn't have been conceived.
Although she hadn't tried walking, she was pregnant. Sitting there with her head against the headboard, she closed her eyes and covered her flat stomach.
Grissom stood in the doorway, watching as her hand rubbed her stomach. He smiled and entered the room. "You should sleep before I go into work, we can eat before I go." He suggested and sat on the bed.
Sara nodded and looked at him. "Can I come in?" She asked, pleadingly.
Sighing, he handed her the painkillers he'd gone to get from the bathroom. Although most of the pain in her back and neck had gone, she still got some when she was tired. It never worked out the way she wanted. She'd be moving around and there'd be no pain, but when she stopped, it was like being run over by a train. The feeling in her feet and legs were back, she just hadn't been brave enough to walk on them. No one was pushing her, but Grissom had only gone back to work a few nights ago and she was getting lonely on her own and frustrated in only filling in files all night and all day.
Grissom moved around the bed and lay down next to her as she scooted down to lie beside him. "What if you just come in until you feel too tired?" He raised his hand to her lips and stopped her from speaking when she opened her mouth. "I mean when I think you're getting tired. I know you'd work the whole night, but not now and definitely not in your condition."
Sara looked at his serious face and nodded. She kissed his fingers and grinned. "C'mere dad." She teased and pulled him closer.
Grissom laughed and wrapped his arms around her thin frame as he kissed her deeply.
********
Ah, this is the life. Work and a hot cup of coffee.
Sara sat back and sipped her drink. She had been organising evidence on Nick's case while he went for food. His first solo db. He was so excited, that he almost forgot to get his keys on his way out to the crime scene. Now Sara sat sorting through the remainder of the reports and evidence baggies.
Smiling at the warm feeling in her chest, she turned her head and raised a curious eyebrow at the silent intruder, leaning against the doorframe.
"Come here often?" The voice asked.
Sara nodded. "Normal to pick up guys."
"Really? Any luck?" The voice was serious, but a hint of amusement leaked through his façade, something that was definitely not gone on Sara.
"Actually, yes." She answered, pulling out her cell phone and pressed speed dial. She grinned at the ringing sound and turned her head. "Going to answer that?"
Smirking, he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and rejected the call. "Has Nick gone for food?"
Sara chuckled and sat up, grimacing. "Yeah, few minutes ago."
"Sara?"
"Grissom?"
He shook his head and pushed off the doorframe. "You getting tired?"
"Nope." She picked up a baggy and tossed it into an evidence box. "I am hungry though."
Grissom leaned against the table beside her. "Can you tell me something?"
Sara looked up at him strangely. "Depends." She watched him as he crouched down beside her chair and balanced himself by holding onto the armrest.
He took a soft breath and looked down at his hands. "Do you." He paused and threaded his fingers together. "Erm."
"Gil?"
"Hmm?" His head snapped up.
Sara smiled lovingly and ran her fingers through his hair and down his cheek. "Stop stalling and ask me."
He nodded. "Do you think. I'd." His eyes shifted nervously as he licked his lips. "We're going to have a baby." He said slowly, Sara nodded and took his hands in hers. "Do you think I'd make a good dad? I mean, I've never."
Sighing lightly, he dropped his head to their hands. Sara smiled. "If you're going to be all jittery before the baby's born, what the hell are you going to be like in the delivery room?" She asked, clearly amused by the thought.
Grissom shrugged with his head still down. "I have no idea. I'm getting cold feet." He admitted and turned his head.
"Gil, honey, you get cold feet before a wedding, not with a baby." She explained.
"I know that, it's just. I feel the same way I did on our wedding day." He lifted his head and laughed. "Nervous as hell."
Sara grinned and kissed him lightly. "Yeah, but the only nervous bit at this present time is telling the others."
"Ok, but. lets wait a while." He suggested, pulling her back into a long soft kiss.
Four weeks later, Grissom bounded through the front door and hugged Sara, who was sitting on the couch. She giggled as he hugged her tighter. "What's got into you?"
