Chapter 9
She woke in the back of an ambulance. Nick was holding her hand and Warrick was hovering at the door of the vehicle.
Sara moved her head. Nick smiled at her. "Hey there gorgeous."
"What happened?"
"You fainted."
"Why?"
"Probably because you saw Grissom and his ex-girlfriend in the parking lot."
"She said she was pregnant."
Nick looked away.
The entire party had emptied at the sound of sirens. Brass encouraged, cajoled and eventually threatened the law enforcement types to either go back to the party or to go home. Most went home.
Grissom sat slumped in his car trying to figure out how he had gotten himself in this current predicament. Even his fine mind couldn't figure it out.
Catherine's voice broke through the fog. "You should try and see Sara."
He nodded and followed Catherine.
Nick was helping Sara sit up when Grissom stepped into the ambulance. Catherine shot Nick a warning look over his shoulder. The dark haired criminalist left.
Sara searched Grissom's face for some trace of deception. She could find none. He kissed the small wound that she had sustained when she had hit the ground.
"You okay?"
"I think so."
"Gil what is going on?"
"Apparently Sofia thinks she is pregnant with my child."
"Is she?"
His lips turned up in disdain. He was disgusted with himself.
"It's possible. Nothing is 100 percent."
The tears ran down Sara's face.
"You should go and talk to her. Where is she?"
"Brass took her home. Sara, sweetie..."
"Sshhh...Nick will take me home. I'll be at our home when you get back."
"I don't deserve you."
She kissed him hard on the mouth.
