Author's Note: The much awaited chapter 21. I've had this written for awhile and I've been quite anxious to finally get to post it. As far as actual writing goes I am now finished and on the sequel.

Hopeless-Savage - It's quite obvious what's wrong. But, I can't say it right now.

Sidle Chick - I got the idea of the old movies, and such, from the season three episode 'A night at the movies'.


"Catherine" Sara said faintly lifting her head up from the toilet.

"Massive hangover?" Catherine joked but, she knew that wasn't it.

"I didn't have any alcohol at last night or even in the past month."

She then went at it again. Catherine held the wet towel up to her forehead when she stopped.

"Sara, I know this is personal but, have you and Grissom, you know, slept together?"

"It was a perfect night, he made me old fashioned popcorn and we watched old movies."

"Wow, I never thought he'd be one to do that."

"What make old fashion popcorn and watch old movies or sleep with some one?"

"Sleep with some one."

"Me either and I don't know why we did but, we did."

"Well, sweetheart, I think you're pregnant"

Sara didn't know what to think. She didn't know whether or not to be happy but, one thing was for certain, well two. One, she was shocked and two she had no idea as to how to tell him about this.

"How do I tell Grissom?" She asked Catherine, she knew she'd have some advice for her.

"Well first let's go get you something to eat and a home test." Sara looked a little hesitant a first.

"Well, do you want me to scoop up some of that puke and take it Greg instead?" Catherine joked.

Sara found this quite funny. Greg would get a major kick out of that.

"I think I'll go with the first one."

Catherine wiped off her face and put a tad of make up on her to help hide how pale she was and then the two left.

"I'll drive you to my place for a while so you can take the test and chill a bit."

"Thanks" Sara said back, grateful that she had a friend who was willing to do all this for her.

"Would you like to stop and get a warm pastry?" Catherine said to Sara as they drove by the town's sweet-shop.

It always smelled of sugar, flour, and chocolate. Sara got a croissant filled with powdered sugar and strawberry jam. Catherine went for a cinnamon roll; the two paid and left for her house. Sara became more and more nervous. She wanted to know but, at the same time she didn't.

"Sara, you okay?" Catherine asked knowing she wasn't

"Yea, I guess."

A few minutes later she opened the package and went off to the bathroom. When she came out there was a blank look on her face; Catherine didn't know what to think.

"So, um, what are the results?" Catherine asked.

"I don't know, I can't look it." Just then she took it from Sara and saw it was positive.

"Sara, you ready for this?"

"Yea, I guess; I'm as ready as I ever will be."

"First off what do you want this to say?"

"Well, to be honest, I wouldn't mind if it was positive."

"Wow! It looks like in about nine months I won't be the only CSI that's a mom."

"I-I-I'm pregnant?"

"Yes; yes, you are"

"How do I tell Grissom?"

"I'd take some time and think about it and, what to say."

Then a single tear fell down Sara's face.

"Sara, what's wrong?" Catherine asked in a soft voice.

"I'm going to be a mom." Sara said smiling.

Meanwhile back at the lab things were a little hectic; graveyard shift had ended a few hours ago but, all of them except Sara and Catherine were still there.

"Grissom, have you seen Sara anywhere?" Warrick asked.

"No, why?"

"Well, she left an interrogation saying she felt sick and I haven't seen her since."

"I just thought she and Catherine went to go get some coffee or something."

"Maybe but, wouldn't she have said something?"

"Probably but, knowing Catherine it was probably a spur of the moment decision and they just left." Grissom reasoned.

Neither of them had a clue as to what was happening.

"Well, I'm going to go see if Nick wants to go hang out somewhere." Warrick said.

"I'm going to go home and see if Sara's there, if not I'll call her." Grissom said in response.

When Grissom got to his house he heard something unusual. Catherine and Sara were talking; in his (and Sara's) house.

"Hello" he said.

"Hi" Catherine and Sara both replied.

"Well, I'll see you tonight Sara." Catherine said.

He couldn't take his eyes off of Sara; there was something different about her. It was like she was glowing. "What was that all about?" Grissom asked.

"She took me out to get a pastry and we came back here."

"Are you sure that's all it was?"

"Yes" Sara lied, it was more than that but, she was ready to tell him yet.

"I'm kind of tired want to go to bed early?" Sara asked

"Sure" Grissom said.

They woke up around 5 with just enough time to get ready and grab some food.

"Want to go this little deli a few blocks from the lab?"

"Uh" Sara said.

"How about the Star café, instead?"

"Sounds good" Sara said.

They had some of the best food she'd ever had; top notch, everything. She ordered a Cesar Salad with a side of fruit and a lemonade smoothie to drink. Lunch went great; they talked about everything under the sun, with the exception of her being pregnant.

"Well it's almost time for our shift to start." Grissom said standing up and grabbing Sara's hand to help her up.

They paid and left, to go to the lab. Catherine was already there and waiting for Sara.

"Hi Sara" Catherine said pulling her away from Grissom and into her office.

"Here, take these."

"What are they?" Sara said.

"They're special peppermints. It'll help with nausea but, it won't stop the vomit."

"Thanks." Sara said as she walked out and headed into the lab.

"How are you doing?" Warrick asked Sara.

"I'm doing better."

"Well we got a solid confession and evidence to back it up. So, case closed."

"Well, I'm going to go to the lab and see if Greg needs any help." Sara said.

"Well look-ie there, it's the girl who got sick during a confession. Couldn't stomach it?" Hodges said.

"See, Hodges, that right there is why people don't like you."

"People like me, lots of people"

"Like who?"

"Well Catherine and Greg and Grissom"

"Catherine is only nice to your face to get things from you easier and Greg hates you, Grissom is just plain creeped out by you."

'Whatever"

"Where's Greg?" Sara asked, changing the subject.

"In the break room but, hey, I could use a little help in here; please."

"If it means you'll be nicer to me."

"Fine"

So Sara spent most of her shift helping out Hodges. They actually had a civil conversation.

"Why are you so, mean to everyone here?" Sara finally asked.

"I just want to fit in; I just want to be a part of you guys' family here. Back in LA people would talk bad about me behind my back. They would only treat me as part of the family to get their evidence processed quicker. I just couldn't take it. When I came here I saw the same situation so, I put up a wall."

Sara was starting to feel sorry for him. She knew this was true because a friend of hers, in LA, told her about him once.

"I'm sorry, we should treat you better." After that they talked for a while until Warrick came in.

"Sara, we've got a problem."

"What?"

"Well the hair we found on the murder weapon is not a match to Camilla Jones."

"That doesn't mean she isn't the killer, it could have been planted there. Her alibi proved to be faulty, she said she was at work but, we have proof she left early."

"She could have conspired with some one."

"Well, her boyfriend's alibi checks out."

"So the hair is male?"

"Yea"

"Well it could have been Darla's boyfriend."

"They did just break up a week before her murder."

No longer than ten minutes and they were headed out to Darla's boyfriend's house.

"Hello, Mr. Edwards?" Warrick said.

A tall, muscular man stepped out.

"Hello, Mr. Edwards, we're here about Darla's murder." Sara said

"I don't know anything."

"Well we were you at the time of death?" Warrick asked

"I was at Camilla's."

"Strange because, we can place Camilla there at the time of death." Sara said.

"Let's take him in" Sara said to Warrick.

This time she made it through the interrogation.

"Wow, Sara you didn't get sick." Warrick joked.

They headed off for the DNA lab where Greg was jamming to music. Where is your boy tonight I hope he is a gentleman and, maybe he won't find out what I know; you were the last good thing this about this part of town.

"Fall Out Boy" Sara quickly said.

"Good job" Greg joked.

Sara was about to start singing along with Greg when Warrick turned off the stereo.

"I need a comparison on the hair we found on the ligature and one we got from Tom Edwards"

"I'll do a visual first then a DNA."

"Thanks Greg" Sara said.

"Well it's a visual match." Greg said.

They, then, waited a while for DNA. Today, the machine was moving unusually slow. It was around 6:30 when Sara started feeling sick.

"Warrick, I'm feeling sick. I'll be back."

"Okay" Warrick said as Sara ran out of the lab.

"What was that all about?" Greg asked.

"I have no clue, she's was sick yesterday…"

He stopped in middle of sentence, it hit him.

"You don't think…"

Greg started to say when it hit him too.

"I think" Warrick whispered really quiet. "That our Sara is…"

Greg didn't even let him finish

"Pregnant?" Greg finished.

"Well she always goes home with Grissom, they are bound to have, you know, by now."

Warrick and Greg both blushed at the thought of Grissom sleeping with someone in that way. Grissom saw Sara run down the hall and chased after her.

"Sara?" Grissom asked.

"Yea"

"What's going on; you've been puking your guts up the past two mornings and afterwards…"

He, too, stopped it hit him.

"Grissom, we need to talk."

He walked out of the bathroom and got a soft cloth and wet it down. He went into her stall and cleaned her face up. After she was done he walked her to his office. Everyone saw him and just stood and stared but, Grissom didn't seem to notice.

"Remember that night you made me old fashioned popcorn and we watched old movies and we did a little more than just watch the last one?"

"Yea" Grissom said blushing at the thought of it.

"I probably don't have to tell you…"

"You're pregnant" he guessed.

"Yea" Sara said.

"So you'll be behind me the whole way?" Sara asked, though she knew he was she needed to hear it.

"No" Grissom said which stunned her. "I'll be right beside you"


Sidle Chick - You were right. Good job. It's not Pete's because she got tested afterwards (I didn't write that in though). Now I've got to work on editing chapter 22.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to review. : )
