Everyone was in a funk. CSI was not the same without Sara. Even Greg didn't have his usual Tiggeresque bounce, and there was not enough coffee in the world that would get it back. Nick, Warrick, and Catherine could see that Grissom was caught between a rock and a hard place. It was good to have Sara in his life, but he wanted to be her work partner as well, not just his partner for life.
Grissom was blindly staring at the computer screen when there was a knock at the door. He was not thrilled about the idea of entertaining, but he knew the person on the other side of the door would probably stay there until he answered the door. He sluggishly walked to the door, hoping that this would be as painless as possible. He was shocked and surprised to see Sara standing in front of him, holding a picnic basket.
"I know how you like to skip dinner, so I thought I whip you up something."
"You didn't have to do this, Sara."
"It's nothing. Besides, I was bored out of my mind and felt my IQ slipping into the low 80's cuz of all the cheesy soap operas that I've been forced to watch."
"Well, I am very sorry for your troubles, my darling." Grissom said as he pulled Sara slowly towards him as he took the basket out of her hand. The pair did not notice Eckley looking at them from down the hall.
"Do you two realize that there is no fraternization between people who work the same shift? I could have you two fired for what I just saw." Eckley said with a sinister grin on his face. Sara thought that he looked a lot like the Grinch who stole Christmas.
"There is nothing wrong with what is going on between us." Grissom replied although he knew full well that both he and Sara could be fired for what they were doing. Nothing would prepare him for the words that would come out of Sara's mouth.
"You know what Eckley, why don't you just fuck off ok. And just for the record, I am pregnant with Grissom's baby and I am going to keep, and we are going to raise this child together; and if you have a problem with that I suggest that you just GET OVER IT!" Sara shouted. She was shocked that she could even talk to Eckley like that, but she was taken aback by the fact that people in the hallway were actually applauding her for what she had just done.
Grissom and Eckley just stood there mouths open, not knowing what Sara would do next. Grissom knew all to well what Sara was capable of doing when she was wound up. He just stepped away from the situation and let Sara handle it as only she could.
"Is there anything else you would like to say because our dinner is getting cold?" Sara's stare could have bored a hole through Eckley's head if she wanted to do any physical damage to him. Eckley simply shook his head no and walked down the hall. "Now that that's over with; how about we go into you office and have lunch?" Sara asked as she led Grissom into his office.

After a quite lunch together, Sara and Grissom sat in his office together, just taking in each other's presence. Grissom had subconsciously begun to rub Sara's stomach when he felt a small ripple underneath his hand. Grissom could only look deep into her brown eyes with awe. Sara put is hands on his and with a nod answered his question. "Yes, the baby did move."
