Once he got home Grissom wondered how long he was going to stay in the past, not that he'd mind repeating it with Sara by his side.

He kicked his shoes off and sat down on his blue recliner. 'What a day' he thought with a sigh as he flicked through the channels on his TV.

He felt a strong sense of déjà vu as the images on the TV and the hands on the clock slowed and eventually stopped. Even his pet tarantula was frozen in its cage. Like before, everything around him went blank and he found himself standing amidst the whiteness.

Grissom stretched and rolled over in his bed. His arm came down on something warm beside him; he slowly sat up and was surprised for a moment to see Sara lying beside him. Memories flooded back to him, not only of his trip back in time but also of the time he had 'skipped over'. The memories played like a movie in his head, yet they felt so real. 'They are real' he reminded himself.

He saw the cases he remembered so well fly by, but this time at the end of the day he got to go home with Sara.

He saw them walking hand in hand on the strip, laughing. He remembered they had been laughing about how quickly Brass had found out they were together.

He saw Sara sitting on a bench near the lake and him kneeling down in front of her. "Sara, I've known that I love you for a long time, will you marry me?" The smile on her face and a single tear sliding down her cheek had said it all.

The last memory he reached back and replayed in his head was their wedding. She had looked so beautiful that he cloud barely speak his vows.

Oddly, he remembered everything as if he had been there, and he knew every detail of the past year.

He wrapped an arm around her middle, kissed her cheek and fell back asleep.

"Wake up Gil!" he heard Sara yell. He sat up and opened his eyes to see her at the foot of the bed, already dressed.

"Good morning to you too, honey," he said smiling.

He rolled his neck on his shoulders, threw the covers off and walked over to her. He smiled and wrapped his arms tightly around her.

"I have a present for you," She said, taking his hands.

"I have one for you too," he said and kissed her.

She laughed and said, "Be right back." and ran out of the bedroom.

She came back, holding her hands behind her back.

"What is it Sar?"

"She smiled and said, "What's the magic word?"

"I love you?" he guessed.

"No, but that works too. Uh, you might want to sit down," she said, still holding her hands behind he back.

"You're scaring me you know?" He walked backwards and sat on the edge of the bed.

She put on a nervous smile and sat down next to him. "Here," she said, handing him the stick.

He couldn't believe it, "You're pregnant?"

"Yeh," she clenched her jaw, unsure what his reaction would be.

To her surprise he shot off the bed and said, "Wow, that's…amazing." he smiled and kissed her deeply, running his fingers through her hair. "Just wait 'till everybody finds out! They're going to go crazy."

"Whoa, Gil, slow down, you're going a mile a minute here," she couldn't help but laugh at his excitement. "Maybe we should let them get used to us being married first. Besides, I'm only 4 weeks."

He just sat there and drank it all in. He was going to be a father. More importantly, Sara was going to be the mother of his child.

He glanced over at her. 'She is so beautiful' he thought.

"As much as I'd like to stay here all day, I think we had better be getting to work." She hopped off the bed and disappeared into their house. Grissom gave in, showered and got dressed for work.

"Seriously, Gil, how are we going to fit a child into our life? We had a hard enough time finding time for each other," Sara asked as they drove to work.

We'll find a way. Hey, we made things work between us, I'm sure that we could raise a child," he reassured her.

"I hope you're right."


Catherine was the first to notice a difference. She was about 3 months and her belly had begun to grow, not only that but her attitude had changed and as Grissom pointed out, numerous times, she 'had that glow'.

Sara was sitting in the break room, eating a candy bar with her feet propped up on another chair. She could feel Catherine staring at her, so she turned around to face her.

"What?" Sara said.

"Something's…different." She thought for a moment. "Oh MY god," she shrieked "Are you pregnant?"

Sara rolled her eyes and said, "Took you long enough."

"How far along are you?"

Nick chose that moment to walk in the door. He snapped his head in Sara's direction. "You're pregnant?" he said loudly.

She smiled; she didn't care if the whole world knew. "Almost 12 weeks."

"Wow!"

"Griss was right you guys are going crazy."

"This is huge," Nick said. "I have to go tell Warrick."

"Wait," she said getting up. "I want to tell him."

"Alright, but I'm coming too, he owes me money."

She rolled her eyes at him. "What exactly did you bet on?"

"Well, Warrick said that you'd be pregnant 2 years after you two got married, but I said one, so I win."

"How much?" She wanted to know how much she had just won Nick.

"Hundred bucks." He smiled.

"Grow up Nicky," Catherine chimed in from over at the table.

He just put a hand onSara's shoulder and directed her to where Warrick was, turning his head to give Catherine a dirty look on his way out.

Warrick was in the layout room, looking over a pair of pants. He pulled a fiber off, stuck it in a bindle and turned his attention to Sara and Nick. "Yeh?"

"Nick says that you owe him a hundred dollars," she said and smiled, giving him a few seconds to figure it out.

"Oh girl, Congrats," he said and hugged her. "You're pregnant, right?"

"What other bets do you have on me?" She asked, cautious of what the answer might be.

"None, just checking. So, when are you due?"

"February 25th." She smiled, unable to hold back her excitement of having a child with Grissom. "Okay, I just wanted to tell you that. I gotta get back to my case though."

"That's cool, I've got to finish up these pants."

"And pay up," Nick said, extending his hand in Warrick's direction.

Sara just grinned, shook her head and headedto trace to pick upthe report on she had dropped off.


She wrapped up her case, a homicide at the sphere, an hour before shift technically ended. Hoping Grissom was done she headed towards his office.

"Ready?" She peeked her head in, before coming in and standing next to him.

"Yeh, give me a sec though." He scribbled something down on a post-it and stuck it on his desk. "Okay, done."

"I haven't seen you all day, you been doing paper work?" she asked as they walked to the car.

"Yeh, I had to or my desk was going to collapse," he chuckled and climbed into the driver's side of the car. "So, how was your day?" he asked her after giving her a kiss.

"Oh, it was great. I won Nick a hundred dollars and probably almost made Catherine pass out."

"I take it they know," he laughed at the idea of Catherine passing out at work, and wondered how she had won Nick money. 'Definitely a bet' he thought.

"Oh, yeh. 'Bout time too."
