"So, anywhere else you need to go?" Gil asked Sara.

The back of their Tahoe was almost completely full of bags from their massive shopping trip; At least one bag from every store they had visited had been compiled.

"Shit. I need to go to Walmart. New clothes; These hardly fit anymore," She lifted her shirt up a bit, revealing the jeans that she had struggled to get on. The button had slipped out of the buttonhole and much to Sara's dismay, would not go back in no matter how hard she tried.

"Just leave it. I'm sure the baby wouldn't mind the extra room."

Gil reached over and placed his hand on her stomach, briefly catching her eyes as he did so.

Sara liked the feel of his warm hand meeting her stomach; She loved it even more that he was happy she was pregnant with his second child. It made her heart flutter to see him excited to be a new dad again.

"Walmart, here we come!"

The Grissom Residence

Heather sighed with relief as she switched the light off in Liz's bedroom; Nine o'clock seemed to take a long time to arrive.

In the three hours before it was Liz's bedtime, several things had been played. Drama filled Barbies, baby dolls, coloring and still more.

She tiptoed down the stairs and smiled upon reaching the first story of the house again.

"What to do, what to do," Heather thought aloud, walking down the hallway to the kitchen. The bright light shocked her eyes for a moment but once they adjusted she was once again astounded by the Grissom's kitchen.

After announcing it was dinner time, Liz had pulled her babysitter into the kitchen and over to the fridge. She then yanked open the door to expose that it was very well stocked.

Liz decided she simply wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and told Heather which cupboard the jelly and peanut butter were in.

A noise behind her mad Heather jump and turn around.

Lily the dog sat by the entrance to the living room. Her tail was wagging, making a thumping sound on the linoleum floor.

"Hey Lily," Heather walked over to the dog and bent down to pet her.

She had been shocked to see that not only did Gil really have a dog, but she was also very well behaved and knew an assortment of tricks.

Once Lily was satisfied with the petting, she stood up and took off for an unknown destination.

Heather returned to the kitchen, grabbed a bag of pretzels off the counter and strode to the living room.

The television was on and had been muted; Liz said the sound interrupted her playing.

A smile spread on Heather's face as she watched an unidentified character from a cartoon dance happily across the screen; It brought back cherished memories from when her own daughter, Zoe, had been a child.

Blinking back the tears that came with these memories and how happy she had been when Zoe had been alive, Heather collapsed onto the couch with the remote in hand. She flipped through them for a moment before stopping on a news channel.

She hardly ever watched the news but felt tonight it was better than cartoons.

"I wonder if they're having fun," She thought, popping a pretzel into her mouth.

WalMart

Sara picked up a pair of maternity pants and held them up to her slender frame; She knew before long that frame would vanish until after the baby was born, but she didn't care.

"What about these?" She asked Gil, who seemed less than enthused to be clothes shopping.

"Hey, I stuck it out in the Entomology section of the bookstore. So you will stay conscious through this part of this store."

Gil blinked a few times before responding. "They look fine. Along with the other six pairs you asked about."

Sara smiled at him.

"Fine. Let's go somewhere else in the store."

Gil sighed happily and pushed the cart out into the main aisle, looking over his shoulder to make sure Sara was following.

"Should we call Heather?" She asked suddenly. She stopped in her tracks and nearly got hit in the rear with a cart being pushed by an angry looking man.

Gil pulled her out of the way of danger as he answer, "If you want to you can. I'm sure everything is fine."

Sara hesitated; She didn't want Heather to think she wasn't trusted, but she also just wanted to see how things were going.

Slowly she pulled her cell phone out and pressed the speed dial number 6.

"You have our house on speed dial?" Gil chuckled.

"I didn't have any other numbers to put in!" She replied as she listened to the number being dialed.

"Me. How about me?" Gil asked. Sara shot him a look mixed with confusion and a bit of 'Hello? Do you have a brain?' "Oh right. We live together."

"Heather, hi! It's Sara. I just wanted to make sure everything is okay."

Gil watched as Sara's expression changed from worried to smiling.

"Okay, I'm glad. Well we should be home in a little bit; If you get hungry… Oh, Liz already told you? Okay. We'll see you in a bit. Thanks, bye!"

She closed the flip phone with a smile.

"Everything's fine."

Gil nodded and the two began walking again, continuing the most wonderful day they had had in a long time.
