Chapter 8

Few months later:

Sara was in her ninth month of pregnancy. She was a week from she was due to deliver the baby. But she insisted on going to the lab because she did not want to stay at home alone. But she could only work paperwork. Nick was against the idea of Sara working but nothing could make Sara Sidle stay at home alone. Danny was so excited about his little sister or little brother. Sara's stomach was so big but Nick still thought she was the most beautiful woman ever. Danny said Sara's stomach was like a beach ball. Nick would just laugh and Sara gave him an evil glare every time Danny said that. It was April the first and Sara wanted to do an evil prank at Nick and maybe the whole gang.

"Hey, Nick, Sara," said Warrick taking a seat. They were waiting for Catherine to hand out assignments since Grissom resigned. Catherine was the new supervisor and she was happily married with Grissom.

"So how's the baby?" asked Warrick.

"Oh, the baby's great but I'm not so great, my back hurts, I can't see my feet while standing and my stomach is as big as a beach ball like Danny said," whined Sara. Nick who was sitting next to Sara could not contain his smile.

"Nick, you better stop smiling, it's not funny," said Sara looking at Nick.

"I'm sorry honey but it's just you're so cute," said Nick.

"Aww, really? Well you're cuter," said Sara leaning in and kissed Nick.

"Eww, get a room," said Greg walking into the room followed by Catherine.

"Shut it, Sanders," said Sara.

"Someone's bitter," said Greg. Nick gave him a deathly glare.

"Alright kids, assignments," announced Catherine.

"Wait, before that, you guys know what day is today right? It's April Fools day, so watch your back," said Greg grinning.

"Whatever man, no one can get me," said Nick cockily. Sara just smiled at him.

"Now's the time," thought Sara.

"Oh god Nick, it hurts," whimpered Sara clutching Nick's hand with a deathly grip while holding her stomach.

"Sara, what's wrong?" asked Nick panicking.

"Nick, I think it's time," said Sara through gritted teeth. Greg, Catherine and Warrick were all around Sara panicking too.

"Nick, I'm gonna call 911," said Catherine taking out her cellphone.

"Yeah, I'll uh…uh… go get some water," said Greg did not know what to do.

Then all of a sudden Sara started laughing. All of them turned to her who was laughing uncontrollably against Nick.

"Sara, are you okay? Should I call 911?" asked Nick. His face was pale and sweaty.

"You should see the look on your faces, especially Nick," said Sara her laughing dissipating.

"Wait, what?" asked Greg confused.

"April Fools!" cried Sara.

"Man, that's just not cool, girl," said Warrick.

"You got me, Sara," said Catherine smiling.

"I know!" said Sara laughing.

"Sara got me, that's not possible! I'm the king of pranks!" said Greg not quite believing Sara got him.

"I actually was just trying to get Nick, but you guys are bonus."

"Sara, you almost gave me a heart as attack, don't do that ever again," said Nick holding onto his chest.

"Nick, I'm sorry but it's just so hard not to get Mr no-one can-get-me," said Sara laughing.

"If you weren't the mother of my children and the woman that I love, you would have gotten it from me by now," said Nick.

"That's what you get for being so cocky," said Sara.


Finally it was time to go home. They picked Danny up from the nanny's home, Luckily, there was a decent nanny that could take care of Danny with their weird working hours. They took him home and got him ready for school. Nick sent him to school after their breakfast. If Nick and Sara had to pull a double, the nanny or Grissom will send him to school. Then Nick went straight home because he was really tired. He went into the bedroom while Sara was changing her clothes and Nick jumped into bed. Few minutes later Sara joined him.

"Tired?" asked Sara,

"Very," replied Nick sleepily.

Sara turned to him and kissed him softly on the lips.

"I love you," said Sara.

"Love you too," replied Nick.

Nick was about to fall asleep when he was woken up by Sara's yelp.

"Nick, wake up, oh god it hurts!" said Sara in pain.

"Sara, please, I'm not in the mood," said Nick.

"Nick, I'm serious, it hurts like hell!" said Sara through gritted teeth.

"Sara, you got me at work, please I just wanna rest."

"Nick Stokes, wake up right now!" yelled Sara pinching Nick's side.

"Ow!" Nick woke up instantly. He turned to Sara and could see she was sweating and gritting her teeth. That was when he realized she was not faking it.

"Oh god Sara, are you okay?" asked Nick sitting up.

"No, I think it's time!"

Nick jumped off of the bed and quickly took the bag for emergency. He helped Sara and drove off towards the hospital.


Few hours later:

Sara and the baby survived the labor. It took a little longer because Sara went into the labor a little early than expected. Now Sara was sleeping out off exhaustion. Nick was on Sara's side cradling the baby in his arms. Danny was with Catherine. He was so excited to see his baby sister. Nick could not stop looking at her new born daughter. She was still pink and looked so cute wrapped in her blanket. Nick was overwhelmed with joy and he was very proud of Sara. Their baby girl was healthy even though she was born prematurely.

Nick was admiring his wife and daughter when there was a knock on the door. The door opened and came in Ken. Nick had called him about Sara and he at once bought the first ticket to Las Vegas.

"Hey," whispered Nick not wanting to wake Sara up.

"Hey, how's she doing?" asked Ken taking a seat at the other side of Sara.

"Good, but exhausted, after labor she fed the baby and they both were out of the light."

"She deserved it," said Ken.

"I know," said Sara caressing Sara's hand. Sara started to stir and slowly opened her eyes.

"Nick," said Sara.

"I'm here, baby."

"Hi Sara," said Ken.

"Ken, what are you doing here?" asked Sara slowly sitting up.

"Like I'm gonna miss seeing your beautiful daughter," said Ken.

"Thanks for coming."

"No problem" said Ken.

"Nick, how's your hand?" asked Sara.

"It's okay."

"What happened to Nick's hands?" asked Ken.

"I was in labor and in excruciating pain, I won't let him leave so I gripped his hand while pushing the baby out."

"You don't want a pregnant woman in labor grip your hand," said Nick smiling.

Ken just laughed.

"Yeah, I know, she gripped my hand when she was in labor with Danny, I can't feel my hands for days after that," said Ken.

"Really? You never told me that," said Sara.

"I didn't want to hurt your feelings, you've gone through a lot at the time, besides it was nothing."

"Thanks Ken, you helped me a lot," said Sara kissing him on the cheek.

"Yeah, I never thank you for taking care of Sara, thanks man, it means a lot," said Nick.

"Glad to help, she means a lot to me too."

Suddenly the baby girl woke up to let her presence known. Sara took her new born and put her in her arms. She cuddled into Sara's chest and stopped crying while Sara rocked her.

"Can I hold her?" asked Ken.

"Yeah," said Sara handing her to Ken. The baby did not cry but cuddled into Ken's chest.

"What's her name?" asked Ken running his finger on the baby's face.

"Amelia Natalie Stokes."
