"Oh Catherine, what am I going to do?" Sara was finally able to speak, after about an hour.

"Well, you need to decide if you're going to keep this baby." Sara looked up at her, tears gathering in her eyes.

"I don't know. I mean, I know it would be best for us all if I just gave it up for adoption or something, but I think I really want to keep this baby. You know, something to remind us of Nick." Catherine gave her friend an encouraging smile.

"You're going to have to tell the rest of the team. And his parents." Fresh tears started falling from the younger woman's eyes.

"I know. It's just, I don't know if I can do it."

"Sara, you are a strong woman. You will get through this somehow." Sara managed a weak smile.

"Thanks." She glanced at the clock. "You should probably get back to Lindsey. It's getting late and I just need to be alone." Catherine rose and gave Sara an understanding look.

"Sara, call me if you need anything." Sara choked back a sob as she nodded silently.


The lab was eerily quiet the next night. No music blared from the DNA lab and no laughter echoed through the halls. Grissom and Catherine had taken on Nick's case. Grissom knew that they really shouldn't have been on it; the whole night shift was to personally involve. But he knew that Nick deserved the best, and they were the best. Sara had taken a few days off, Grissom's orders.

"How's the case going?" Warrick asked as he joined Catherine in the break room.

"No leads yet." Catherine let out a heavy sigh. It had been two weeks since the death of Nick, and Sara still hadn't told anyone about the baby.

"Hey." They turned at Sara's voice.

"I thought you were still off." Warrick gently asked. He was quite aware of how much this had affected Sara.

"Yah tonight is my first night back."

"Sara." Grissom had just entered the room. She looked at him, and he felt his heart break as he looked at the young woman. Her eyes were dull and listless, her face abnormally pale.

"Um, Grissom, I have something I think I need to tell you." Sara nervously glanced over at Catherine.

"I think Greg should hear this to."

"Hear what?" coincidentally, Greg had chosen that moment to walk in. Sara took a deep breath.

"I'm pregnant." Warrick, Grissom, and Greg looked at her in shock.

"Congratulations." Stammered Grissom.

"Yeah." Warrick added.

"Whose um, the Father?" Asked Greg nervously.

"That's the thing." Sara was crying now. She paused for a moment as she tried to regain her composure.

"Nick is." You could have heard a tear drop as the men processed the information. Sara continued. "We had been seeing each other for a few weeks, in secret. We were planning on telling you when he, when he died."

"Wow. We had no idea." Greg said, stating the obvious.

"Yeah. Congratulations, I'm sure Nick would be proud." Warrick walked over and pulled her into a hug.

"Thanks Warrick." Sara gasped through the tears that had started to fall once more at the mention of Nick.

"Did you tell his parents yet?" wondered Grissom. Sara shook her head.

"I don't know how I am going to tell them. They have already gone back to Texas and I don't think I could tell them in person anyways."

"You need to tell them." Catherine's voice was soft.

"I know." Sara looked at Grissom.

"Well, enough comforting Sara. Aren't there cases to be given out?" the group took the hint that Sara didn't want to talk anymore.

"Ok, yeah. Sara, Warrick, break and enter. The neighborhood is apparently some extremely wealthy one, and they want us to send our best." Warrick knew that Grissom really didn't need two CSI's on the case; he just didn't really want Sara working alone.


Sometime later, Sara found herself driving to some unknown spot. They had been able to wrap up the case fairly quickly and she had been sent home to rest. Her mind wondered to the first time they had realized their feelings for each other.

They had gone out for some breakfast after shift, not an uncommon occurrence. Sara had been debating for a while whether or not she should reveal her feelings to Nick. Truth be told, she had been harboring more then friendly feelings towards Nick for some time. She had finally worked up the courage to tell Nick how she felt. Well, it was more like show. Before she could have second thoughts, she had leaned over and kisses him.

She pulled back just as quickly, not quite sure what she had just done. "I-I am so sorry." She had managed to get out. She briskly got out of her seat and through a bill onto the table for her meal. She had started to walk away when she felt as hand stop her. She whirled around to face Nick, whose expression was a mix of surprise and confusion. Slowly, a grin spread across his face.

"Wow. I wasn't expecting that." Sara's blush grew deeper as she looked down. Nick couldn't help but chuckle at her obvious discomfort. "I said I didn't expect it Sara, I didn't say that I didn't like It." she slowly raised her eyes to meet his. He took a breath. "What I mean to say Sara is that I really like you, as more then a friend."

A smile formed on her face. "Good. I don't know if I could face you if you didn't feel the same way."

Sara snapped back into reality as she realized where she had driven herself. She got out and slowly hiked up to where his tombstone sat in the shade of a large tree.

"Hey." She greeted to the grey stone. She wiped the tear that had escaped from her eyes. She couldn't continue speaking, the tears had come back. So instead, she just sat down beside the grave and buried her head in her hands and cried.
