"Hey Nicky" Sara called.

"Yeah" he said.

"Where are we going to night??" she asked.

"The Ghost Bar at the Palms."

"That place is awesome."

"I know that." Sara loved the Ghost Bar.

------------

They got to the Ghost Bar at around 10:00. Nick drank a little and danced. Sara just danced every other song. At the end of the night, Sara drove them back home. They got back home around 1:00 am. Pretty much drink, Nick went to bed. Sleepy, Sara followed. The next morning Nick was the first to get up. It was their eight-month anniversary. Nick made breakfast for Sara. Right next to the plate was a card and inside was a gold diamond ring. Nick went into their room to find Sara out of bed and in the bathroom. She came out looking up surprisingly to see Nick.

"Hey," she said, "I thought you left."

"No, I made you breakfast" he said, "Are you okay??"

"Yeah, why??"

"You're kind of acting strange."

"No, I'm fine."

"Okay, you want breakfast??"

"Uhh, sure." She stumbled over to the bed and sat down. He gave her a weird look, but came over and sat the tray down in front of her. She very slowly ate what was in front of her. She couldn't finish.

"I'm sorry, I'm just not very hungry," she told Nick.

"That's okay." he said.

"Oh look" she found the card, "How sweet..." She broke of. The ring fell out. Nick came over to her side of the bed. He got down on one knee and asked Sara to marry him. She sat there frozen.

"Will you??" Nick asked again.

"Nicky" she said, "I...I, I love you, don't get me wrong, but now isn't the right time."

"What??" Nick said in disbelief.

"Please don't be mad at me," She said softly.

"I'm, I'm not mad at you, I just thought... I guess I was wrong."

"Nick, I love you, I will always love you, but now is just not the right time to get married." Nick got up off his knee and walked into the kitchen to clean up. Sara took the ring and put it in her pocket.

"Nick wait" she said, "Please, are you mad at me??"

"No, no, I love you I'm not mad" he said, "I just wish that you loved me enough to marry me."

"Nick, don't pull that shit with me, you know I love you very much."

"No, I don't know that Sara, I thought you did, but obviously you don't."

"Nick, stop it right now, just stop!!"

"You know what for get this, I'm leaving."

"No, you can't walk out on me."

"I'm not; I'm just going to leave you alone for a while, when you want me back you'll find me." Nick went into their room and started to pack up some of his things. Sara was still trying to get him to stay, but he left. Sara went and sat down on their bed. She was crying. She opened up the nightstand drawer and pulled out a plastic stick. She stared down at it, looking at the positive sign. She took the test two times just to be sure, and now she was. Being sick every morning, she knew she was pregnant. Now Nick had left her. She didn't know what to do. She called Grissom.

------------

"Grissom" he answered his phone.

"Gil," Sara said crying.

"Sara, what's wrong??" he asked her.

"Nick left" she said crying harder now.

"He what??"

"He told me he was going to come back after I had some alone time."

"I'm coming over there now."

Before Sara could say another word, he hung up. About ten minutes after they hung up Grissom pulled up outside of Nick and Sara's apartment. The door bell rang and Sara answered.

"Hey" she said quietly. She had stopped crying. Grissom came in and Sara closed the door behind him.

"Sit down" she said.

"Tell me what happened" he said.

"Well Nick asked me to marry him this morning" she started.

"Okay, what did you say??"

"I said no."

"Why, I thought you love Nick."

"I do, but now is just not the right time" she said.

Just then, she jumped up and ran to the bathroom. Grissom followed behind her.

"Are you okay??" he asked.

"Gil, I'm pregnant" she said.

"Oh," he said all most in a whisper, "Does..."

"No" she cut him off, "No, Nick doesn't know."

"Why didn't you tell him?? He would understand."

"I can't tell him."

"Yes you can."

"You have to swear to me that you won't tell anyone."

"Sara."

"Swear."

"Okay, I won't tell a soul, but sooner or later you have to tell." He helped her off the floor.

"Will you stay with me for a while??" she asked him.

"Yes, I'll stay with you."

"Thanks Gil, I knew I could always count on you." She laid down on the bed and Grissom sat right beside her until she fell asleep.
