Three Months Pregnant – The Next Day

Sara stood at her locker gathering her jacket and duffel bag. She had the next few nights off, so she wanted to make sure she didn't forget anything. Nick was taking her out to breakfast. They needed to discuss a few things, and well, the baby wasn't going to stop growing just to give her more time to adjust.

"Hey, you ready?" His soft voice came from the door to the locker room.

She looked over at him, and smiled. "Yeah."

Nick held the door for her, as she walked past him and out towards the parking lot. Sara headed straight for her Tahoe, but Nick stopped her. "I'll drive. And then I can bring you back here to pick that up later."

"Nick, I-"

He put up a finger to silence her. "Sara, don't argue with me, please."

I will climb the highest mountain
just for you.
Bring gold and silver to your door
just for you.
I will raise my glass up to the sky
just for you.
I will be your strength and be your pride
be with you.

Close to twenty minutes later, Nick pulled into the parking lot of a small diner that was close to his house. It was where he had taken Sara after their first night together. She smiled to herself and thought maybe he was trying to be sentimental or something.

"Why are you smiling?" Nick asked her as he shut off the engine.

"No reason."

"Come on, Sara, what is it?"

"Well, this diner. It's where you took me-"

"-after that first night." He finished for her. "I know. I did actually plan this." When she gave him the 'Yeah right' look he added "I can be sentimental sometimes, you know."

'Okay, is he psychic now?' Sara asked herself as they both hopped out of the car and headed into the diner.

Nick picked out a table that was furthest away from the door, hoping that it would be the quietest place in the diner. It wasn't that crowded, but he still didn't need any access interruptions. This was going to be hard enough as it was.

Sara pulled out a menu and began looking for something good to eat. Lately she had actually been eating a lot. She even had food in her refrigerator, most of which Nick had bought for her, insisting that she eat twenty times as usual. He had only come over a few times to make her dinner or breakfast. He would have come over more if Sara had let him.

Soon a young waitress came over to them to take their orders.

"I'll have the pancake breakfast with a side of eggs, hash browns, a biscuit, and a fruit bowl, please?" After Sara had ordered the waitress just looked at her in shock.

"Are you sure, ma'am?" The young woman asked.

"I'm eating for two," Sara answered.

The woman's face lit up. "Oh. Oh my! Congratulations! Okay, I'll go get that for you now!" She hurried away but returned two seconds later and looked at Nick. "I'm so sorry sir. What can I get you?"

Nick smiled. "I'll just have a cup of coffee and the pancake breakfast… Just the pancake breakfast, please," he said sweetly.

"Oh, can I have some orange juice, too, please?" Sara asked.

"Yes, of course. I'll be right back with your drinks." The waitress skipped away. Who knew one pregnant woman could make another who had never met her in her life so happy?

Just like she said, the waitress came right back with a cup of coffee for Nick and a tall glass of orange juice for Sara. They thanked her and she skipped away again.

A half an hour later, Nick was finished with his three pancakes. Sara had eaten two of her pancakes, most of her eggs, all of the hash browns, every last piece of fruit, and the biscuit. "I don't think I've ever seen you eat so much." Nick said with a grin.

"Don't worry Nick. I'll pay for it."

"No you won't." Nick said, shaking his hand as he reached for his wallet.

I'll make sweet soul music all night long
just for you.
Make you feel that you belong
just for you.
We'll take a ride in the tunnel of love
just us two.
I will scream aloud at the altar of God
I love you.

"Nick-"

"Sara, most of that food just went for my baby. I'm buying. Besides, I asked you, remember? And no one ever said anything about going Dutch, so don't worry about it." Nick threw a twenty down on the table, which covered both of their meals and left a nice tip for their waitress, who had come back five times to make sure everything was okay.

Sara stood up. "Nick, we still have to talk…"

"I know. Let's go over to the park across the street. It's a nice day, and it's probably peaceful out there." He held the door for her, and they walked arm in arm to the park, where they found a bench under a tree to sit on. Nick was right; it was very quiet and peaceful.

They sat in silence for a few minutes just watching the birds and squirrels that were frolicking about in the sun.

"So…" Nick began.

"So……" Sara echoed.

"Yep."

"I agree," Sara added, causing them both to smile.

"I meant what I said last night, Sara. I do love you. A very wise woman helped me realize that a couple months ago, but I guess I never had the balls to tell you."

Sara looked at him quizzically.

"My Mom, Sara. It was my Mom. I called her after you got out of the hospital."

She just nodded in response.

Nick continued. "You know I have a spare bedroom. And the master bedroom is big…. You know that. We'd have plenty of room in my house. I have to show you something, Sara," Nick said standing up, and holding his hand out to her.

"What?"

"Just come with me."

Sara took his hand and they headed back across the street to where the Tahoe was parked. They got in the car, and Nick drove back to his house.

Just for you I'll wash you down,
cleanse your soul and be around,
hold your hand and lead the way,
be with you all through your day.
Just for you I'll sacrifice
everything in my life,
I will give all this to you,
dedicate my self to you...
Just for you, just for you, just for you, yeah

Nick led Sara up to his house and inside the door. He turned to her and a smile crept upon his lips. "Close your eyes."

"What?"

"Close your eyes, please?" Nick asked.

Sara sighed, and closed her eyes, allowing Nick to take her hand and lead her down the hall to his spare bedroom. She could hear Nick take a deep breath before he spoke, and she was kind of getting a bit nervous and excited at the same time.

"Okay," he said. "Before you open your eyes, you have to make me a promise."

"All right…"

"Don't kill me for this."

Sara giggled. "I won't kill you."

"Promise?"

"Yeah, I promise, Nick."

Just for you, just for you, just for you

"Open your eyes."

Sara did as she was told and scanned the room. It was Nick's spare bedroom. The walls, which used to be a nasty green color were painted white and was sponged with blue paint. There was a crib in one corner of the room, and a twin-sized bed in the other. Between the beds was a simple rocking chair. And against the wall by the crib was a changing table. There was also a small wooden dresser and the book shelves were lined with children's books and a few stuffed animals.

I'll be a shooting star in the sky at night
just for you.
I'll be your mother of pearl, diamond girl
just for you.
I'll lock the door, throw away the key
just for you.
I am the air that you breathe
I am you.

Sara walked around the room and let her hand glide across the furniture. After a few moments she paused and turned to Nick who was still standing in the doorway. "Nick, how did you…? When….? Why….? I mean…."

Nick smiled as he explained. "Catherine came over and we worked on it together. Don't worry. I still haven't told the rest of the team. She gave us Lindsey's old crib and changing table. The rocking chair and dresser were mine when I was little. And I bought the rest."

Sara could feel tears beginning to fall down her cheeks. She walked over to Nick and wrapped her arms around his neck. He held her softly. "It's wonderful, Nick," she whispered.

"I told you I'd do anything…." his voice trailed off.

Sara pulled away slightly, and wiped her cheeks. "It's perfect. I love it. It's almost as if… if it were…."

"Planned?" Nick asked.

Sara nodded.

"Just because this wasn't planned. Just because we both reacted horribly doesn't mean we can't make the best of this. And I see it now. I see how perfect this… our baby… can and will be. Do you see it, Sara?" Nick asked cupping her cheek with his hand.

She nodded again.

I'll terrorise, publicise, capitalise, mesmerise,
idolise, wave goodbyes to all the things you despise.

Just for you. Just for you.

"Okay," Sara said breaking the silence.

"Okay?" Nick asked confused.

They were now seated on his couch in front of the TV. Sara had decided to stay a little while before heading back to get her Tahoe.

"Okay, I'll move in with you. Okay, you can take care of me. Just… okay." Sara laid her head down on Nick's shoulder and closed her eyes.

A few minutes later, her agreement finally sunk in with Nick. He turned, and kissed the top of her head, whispering "Thank you."

I'll climb the highest mountain,
until I reach the top.
I'll climb the highest mountain,
and I will not stop.
 

I'm gonna climb that mountain

I'm gonna reach the top


And I will not stop

Higher and higher and higher

Just for you
Just for you
Just for you.....

Yay! Woo hoo! They're going to live together now! Isn't Nick such a sweetheart? I think so. He needs to just come live with me, I think… Hehe!

The song in this chapter is "Just for You" by M People. Honestly I have never even heard of this group before. I just picked a random group and looking for a good song and this is what I found. I think it fits. :) Next chapter: Telling the team! Yay!

Hit that little button, and let me know what you think, but as usual, please leave the flames at home!

Thanks!!
