Part 5/?
Grissom couldn't concentrate. His mind seemed to be everywhere at once, especially on his earlier findings- the pregnancy test. He couldn't believe Sara was pregnant. This was going to be more difficult than a simple case. This was now a fight for Sara and their unborn child.
"Grissom!" Catherine's voice cut through the silence.
His head snapped up. Catherine wasn't sure if his hearing had cut out, or if he was just lost in thought.
"Grissom? Are you ok? I have been calling your name for like five minutes."
"Sorry."
"I know this is hard for all of us."
"Catherine-"
"Grissom, everything is going to be ok. We will get this guy." He simply nodded.
Nick and Warrick entered the room.
"Grissom. We need to talk." Warrick spoke as Nick stood in silence.
"What. Warrick?" He already knew what the topic would be.
"Greg just told us you found a pregnancy test in Sara's apartment."
"Yeah."
"There's no way this can be happening," said Nick.
"But it is. I want this to be kept totally quiet. I don't want Ecklie knowing about this. Got it?"
"Yeah Griss. We got it." Warrick replied.
The team fell silent, everyone was afraid to ask the one question that was on their minds, until finally Warrick spoke up. "Griss? Do we know who the father is?"
Grissom just sat there, not saying a word.
"Just what I thought." said Warrick.
" So how long have you two been going out?" Catherine pried.
"Three months. It was right after Hank broke up with Sara." There was a slight pause before anyone else spoke.
"Grissom, I really don't think you should be working this case. I mean what if Ecklie finds out?" Nick spoke.
"What Ecklie doesn't know won't hurt him, and I know none of you will tell him. As for me removing myself from Sara's case? No, I will stay on this case and see to it that she is back here safe."

Sara still hadn't eaten in over a day, and knew that she was only making matters worse not eating. She could hear Brandon outside the door. It opened and he walked in. Noticing the sandwich was still in the bag on the floor, he picked it up and walked towards her.
"What's up with this? Chicken sandwich was your favorite in San Francisco."
"People change. I'm a vegetarian. Plus, I can't even look at the stuff without getting sick."
He laughed. "What are you laughing at?" She asked agitatedly.
"Nothing." He smirked, and pulled up a chair only a few feet away from her.
"So, Sara. How's life been treating you? Better than I have?" He asked smartly.
"I wouldn't tell you if my life depended on it." She said bitterly in a raised voice.
"Well, maybe it does." He said a bit more loudly. He got up from his chair and walked out the door. "I'm going out to finish some business. Don't try anything while I'm gone." He slammed the door shut, but it bounced from the frame and left a gap about a foot wide, enabling her to see into the next room.
Sara was glad he was gone, but scared. What was his unfinished business? She could only hope it didn't involve her in any way, and if it did, pray that it wouldn't harm her or her child. She heard the door that she assumed was the front door slam shut. And that's when she saw it.
