Less than two months ago, Jamie was a happy-go-lucky teenager. As she lay in her bed, she couldn't help but think of those wonderful times that she spent with her parents. Ever since the day Sara adopted Jamie, she couldn't help but think that her parents would have wanted this for her. Much to everyone's surprise, Jamie had taken to Sara and Nick extremely well.

A Couple Months Later

"What about this one?" asked Nick.

"Oh, Nicky it's gorgeous, but are you sure we can afford it?" asked a very excited Sara.

"Sara I know we can afford it," stated Nick.

Sara picked up on the mischievous tone in his voice and called him on it.

"Nick, what did you do?"

"I already bought it, Sara."

"You bought that house?" Sara questioned, wanting to make sure she had heard him right.

"Yes I did, so what do you think?"

"Oh God Nick, I love it!"

"Well, come on, let's go check out our new home," Nick said while practically dragging Sara into their new house.

After the couple went through the entire house, they decided that they should head back to the lab, where Jamie was supposed to be meeting them.

The two got back to the lab about an hour before Jamie was supposed to get there; they quickly went to the break room, where the rest of the gang was hanging out.

"So, what did he do, Sara?" asked Warrick with a certain tone in his voice that Sara couldn't quite place.

"Why do you ask, Warrick?"

"I don't know, you just seem extra happy."

"Is it a crime for my girlfriend to be happy?"

The others just looked at the happy couple, knowing that something was up, but instead of pressing the issue, they waited for them to continue.

"He bought us a house!" squealed Sara.

After Sara's confession Catherine squealed just as loud as Sara had done. Once the two women had calmed down, there were congratulations all around.

"Is there a Jamie Sidle here?" asked a voice from behind the gang.

Sara turned around and looked at the source of the voice, and saw that it was a delivery person.

"No, she isn't, but I am her mother. Can I help you?"

"Yes, please make sure that she gets this," the gentleman replied while handing Sara an envelope.

"Sure thing, thank you."

With that said, the gentleman turned around and left the room.

"What is that, Sar?"

"It looks like a letter from UNLV."

Just then, Jamie arrived and greeted all of them. Then she noticed what appeared to be a letter from a college.

"Sara, what is that?"

"Its for you, it's from UNLV."

"Oh wow, they got back to me faster than I expected," Jamie stated.

"Well, here ya go. Open it up and find out what it says," Sara replied while handing Jamie the envelope.

"Okay, here goes nothing."

Jamie took a deep breath before opening the letter. She slowly pulled out the letter and read it. Tears filled her eyes and her face dropped.

The others waited in anticipation, and when they saw her face drop, so did theirs.

"Jamie, I'm sorry," Nick said in a gentle tone.

As Jamie listened to the others say how sorry they were, she folded up the letter and placed it back into the envelope. She just couldn't help but let them think she didn't get accepted.

Jamie looked up at each of them and tried to hold in her laughter, but she just couldn't. She began laughing as hard as she could. The others were so confused that Sara grabbed the envelope and pulled out the letter. Soon after, she broke down in tears, passed around the letter and pretty soon everyone was in tears.

Jamie finally stopped laughing and noticed that Sara and the others were crying. They were crying for her. Jamie couldn't understand this. Her real parents never really cried for her, so seeing them crying upset her, she wasn't sure why they were crying, but she then realized how much all of them cared for her and she began to cry too.

"Jamie, what's wrong?" asked Sara when she noticed the tears rolling down Jamie's face.

"Oh, nothing."

"Then why are you crying?" asked Nick.

"I just... I am so happy that I got to meet all of you."

Jamie then walked over and hugged every one of them, all the while everybody crying, having seen this young girl go through everything she has and yet still keeping a positive outlook on life.

"This calls for a celebration!" stated Greg, already blaring some of his music throughout the break room.

"I second that," stated Catherine.

After awhile of celebrating, things became a bit quieter. Nick stood up and got down on one knee in front of Sara before pulling out a small velvet box from his pants pocket.

Whatever noise was going on was quickly stopped at that moment.

"Sara, I love you with all my heart. The day you showed up here, I knew I found my soul mate, so Sara Sidle, will you marry me?"

The End
