Still Here Chapter 7: Telling, a csi fanfic

The song is With Me by Lonestar.

Chapter 7

I woke up and heard Nick singing from the bathroom.

"When you're with me
I feel like singing
It's like I'm swinging the whole planet on the end of my chain
Oh
when you kiss me
My head starts spinnin'
It's like you're sending the adrenaline
Straight to my brain
And it feels right as rain
All my worries wash away
When you're with me" Nick sang from the bathroom.

'Why me?' I mumbled, then turned myself over a couple of times before getting comfortable.

"You are a lazy summer day on a porch swing
You are a night running wild on the town
My red Ferrari racing me down a back street
My pick-me-up when I'm a little bit down
No matter where I go
whatever dice I roll
Baby
this I know"

'Make it stop.'

Nick walked into the room with a towel slung over his waist and was still mumbling song lyrics.

I turned over and looked at him. 'Hey I didn't know that you were awake.'

'I wasn't until about ten minutes ago. Your wonderful singing woke me up.'

'Oh I'm sorry sweetie.' He came over to me and kissed me on the forehead. 'But you've been sleeping for a while.'

'What time is it?' I said while yawning.

'Almost seven.' Nick laughed.

'Great shifts in two hours.' I brought the comforter over my head.

'Come on sleeping beauty, I've already been up for a few hours.' He brought the covers down.

'What did you do?'

'I went running, then I called my sister. She said that she would love to have us stay with her. And she promised not to tell about your baby, until we're ready.' He smiled at me. 'Then I took a shower and came in here.'

'Tomorrow's your last day right?'

'Today is. And tomorrow we're going to leave for Texas.' I put the covers back over my head. 'Princess what are you doing?'

'Trying to sleep, but it's .not. working.' I said sleepily.

'Come on sweetie time to get up.' I took the covers off me the sat up. Nick went back to his dresser and started to pick out his clothes.

I took a quick shower, then wrapped a fluffy white towel around me. I put some clothes on the slowly walked out into the kitchen, I took Nick's cup of coffee and slowly started to drink it. I leaned up against the counter and Polaris came up to me.

'What are you doing?' Nick took his cup back.

'You didn't make anymore?'

'No coffee for pregnant fiancee's.' He pointed his finger at me.

'Nicky.' I picked Polaris up and started to play with her paws.

'No, it could hurt the baby.'

'But I need my coffee.' I said very seriously.

'Have some juice.' Nick handed me a cup of apple juice and I took it from him angrily

'Who do you think should take care of Polaris we are away?'

'We could ask Catherine if Lindsey wants to watch her.' I let Polaris down and then ruffled the cat hair out of my shirt.

'OK, and we should tell everyone today, right?'

'Do you want to?' I nodded yes, 'Then we'll tell them today.'

Nick drove to the lab and we deiced to tell everyone at the break room. I took his hand and we walked into the lab. Everyone was in the break room, minus Grissom who was still in his office. I sat on the couch and Nick sat next to me, I rested my head on his shoulder.

'Hey Sidle, rough morning?' Warrick asked.

'Yeah Nick wouldn't let me drink any coffee this morning.' I explained to him.

'That's low Nick.. Why?'

'Tell you later.' I smiled at him.

Grissom came in and he handed out his assignments.

'Gris, Sara and I have something to tell you guys.' Nick said before everyone left. Grissom nodded.

'I'm pregnant.' I told them. They all came around Nick and I and were congratulating us. After about ten minutes Grissom broke us up.

'Sara, come here for a minute.' I went over to Grissom. 'I'm going to have to keep you out of the field for a while.'

'Yeah, I figured that.'

'You and Nick are leaving tomorrow right?'

'Yup so we won't be in.' I reminded him.

'OK, well I got to go, and Sara congratulations.'

I smiled then Grissom turned to leave, 'Thanks Griss.'
