I wanted to post this before the new CSI; Hope you like it!

"Have you ever noticed that Lily will not leave me alone when I don't want her around but when I do, she's nowhere to be found?" Sara asked Gil as he entered the house.

He had been gone exactly twenty minutes and in those twenty minutes, Sara had become extraordinarily bored.

Nothing worth watching seemed to be on television this early; The news was too serious and she didn't feel serious. Cartoons were too annoying and everything else was either a talk show or a soap opera.

After surfing the channels, she went in search of Lily; Every room of the house had been searched and she was no where to be found. Sara finally spotted her out in the back yard, but when called for, Lily refused to come entertain the pregnant woman.

So for the remaining time before Gil arrived back home, Sara sat on the couch and did nothing.

"I know. Hey, did Catherine call?" He asked as he bolted up the stairs.

An agonized sigh echoed throughout the house; It became clear that Gil did have to go to work.

Which meant Sara would be home alone; Without anything to do.

"Yeah she called."

Rummaging could be heard from upstairs. Sara figured he was looking for some decent clothes to wear to the lab.

"Check the closet!" She called.

The padding of footsteps caused her to look up at the ceiling; She could tell Gil was walking from the dresser to the closet.

"Thanks!"

She sighed again.

She didn't want to be alone; A thought flashed through her mind that possibly she was being self-centered but she just shook it away.

Another thing Sara had noticed since learning of her pregnancy was that she didn't care about thinking about herself. Any other thing she would focus on the people around her, that way she didn't have to think about her problems.

Knowing she was acting selfish really bothered her; Selfish people annoyed her and knowing she was being one almost made Sara sick.

"Babe, I'm really sorry I can't just lay on the couch with you. Call Jenna and invite her to hang out," Gil suggested as he walked into the living room.

"Yeah I will. Shoes?"

"Where are they?"

Sara thought for a moment then smiled.

"Under the table in the kitchen."

Gil nodded absentmindedly and sprinted off to get his shoes.

Sara picked the telephone up off the receiver and dialed Jenna's cell phone; It hadn't even finished ringing the first time and it was answered.

"Sara? Thank God!" Jenna sighed into the phone.

"Hey. Would you like to come over and hang out with me? I'm so bored it's insane," Sara replied, not even bothering with small talk.

"I'll be there in half an hour."

Thirty Minutes Later

Sara jumped up from the couch and rushed to answer the door; As she pulled it open, she emitted a gasp.

"I know, I know. I'm huge, right? Don't bother, I hear it enough at home," Jenna laughed as she entered the house.

"Well, you are! I'm sorry, but you are giant. The doctor said it's only one?" Sara inquired, peering curiously at her friend's swollen stomach.

Sara led the way into the living room where the two sat down on the couch; Almost instantly after sitting down, Jenna sighed happily.

"Oh this couch is awesome! Um, well they can't be sure but it's only supposed to be one," Jenna explained, lovingly placing her hand on the center of her beach ball-like abdomen. "Nick's excited. He's counting the days until the little nameless baby comes."

Sara smiled; The thought of Nick being excited about being a dad bringing back old memories.

"You'll pick out a name; Liz wasn't named until about an hour before she was born! So, how do we plan on spending our afternoon?"

The two sat in silence for almost five minutes and no ideas arose.

"Movies are too overrated. I can't stay awake through them anymore! You have any ideas?" Jenna bit her lip as she tried to think of anything worth suggesting.

"Hmm… Just want to talk? Ooh, Gil got me the new mint ice cream! We could eat that while we catch up."

Jenna nodded enthusiastically.

"But before you do, I have a question."

Sara leant forward; Any questions she could answer, she would be happy to do so.

"Is it scary? Knowing that you will be completely responsible for another human being?" The brunette sitting next to Sara inquired.

Sara noticed Jenna's bottom lip quiver slightly.

"No. It's a nice feeling; And it's amazing to hold your child for the first time. I can't explain the emotion, but when you do, it'll take away all the fear you've ever experienced about raising a baby," Sara comforted.

Jenna swallowed quickly before thanking her. "Thanks. I'd be lost without your help."

"Don't mention it. Ready for ice cream?"

Jenna nodded and Sara rose from the couch; She walked to the freezer, glancing out in the fenced in back yard to see Lily lying lazily in the sun.

Pulling out the half-eaten container of ice cream, she smiled and took a step to her right to get two spoons.

The house was quiet from every direction; Sara expected to hear Jenna at least humming. She did that occasionally just out of habit and was constantly worried that she was bothering someone with the songs she hummed; Sara had time and time again convince her that no one cared if she hummed, but Jenna was still worried.

Sara giggled once as she walked into the living room.

"So much for a fun afternoon," She whispered, walking over to the couch.

The woman's eyes fluttered occasionally in her sleep, indicating either a bad dream or a deep sleep, Sara couldn't determine which.

Carefully she lifted Jenna's feet and sat down, placing the socked feet in her lap; She opened the ice cream tub and scraped a spoonful of the almost solid layer of frozen treat.

"Sleep tight," Sara murmured.

She took another bite of ice cream and turned the television on, repeating her early morning channel surfing.
