Summary: Sara adopts a little girl and shocks the group. She has difficulty handling her new found motherhood and finds support in Greg. Greg-Sara relationship
Chapter 4:
The dancing continued for many hours and it wasn't until 10:30pm that Sara decided it was time to take Bethany home.
"But I'm not tired Mommy," Bethany yawned as she said this.
"Well you might not be tired," Sara said hiding a smile, "but I am. Catherine and Lindsey are going too, right?" At Catherine's nod, Sara lifted Bethany up and she promptly lay her head on Sara's shoulder and closed her eyes.
"I'm going to head out too," Greg said, so Catherine decided to get them alone.
"Why don't you three go ahead," Catherine suggested. "I need to talk to Grissom about something."
"Are you sure?" Sara asked although truthfully, she was fine with having this time alone with Greg.
"Yeah," Catherine answered. "You need to get Bethany home."
"Okay," Sara said and she and Greg headed out of the tent towards their cars.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Grissom asked Catherine once Sara and Greg had left. Catherine laughed and went to sit with Warrick and Lindsey until Sara and Greg were out of the parking lot.
The walk to the cars was silent, neither too sure what to say, but still quite comfortable with the silence. Both were oblivious to the matchmaking efforts of their friends. When they reached their cars, Sara found she couldn't get her keys out of her short's pocket and Bethany was sound asleep on her shoulder. Greg gave he a confused look and Sara mouthed keys and nodded in the direction of her pocket.
"Do you want me to get them?" Greg whispered and Sara gave him a small nod. Greg visibly gulped and reached into Sara's pocket. He got the keys and opened the side door all the while blushing. Sara tried not to laugh as she saw how uncomfortable she'd made him as she buckled a sleeping Bethany into her booster seat. Sara shut the door quietly and turned around to face Greg.
"Thanks Greg," Sara said quietly. What do I do now? she thought. A handshake is too formal but I can't kiss him, ...can I?
"Hey it's no problem," Greg wondered what she was thinking about. She seemed to be fighting an inner battle.
Suddenly Sara stepped forward, gave him a hug and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll see you at work tomorrow," she said and got into her car. She started it and pulled out of the parking lot leaving behind a very surprised Greg.
"Bye," Greg whispered to himself. Behind him he heard the others coming to their cars. He got into his car, waved good-bye to everyone and headed home.
"Wonder what's with him," Nick said.
"Woman troubles," Warrick replied and both men laughed.
